My honest opinion on Chapter 3 (MASSIVE SPOILERS)

Deltarune Discussion
1

Those of you active on fandom still will know this, but if you're not, here it is.

Last warning for spoilers!!!

Summary

Firstly, I do think the intro was a little rushed, y'know? Chapter One and Two made their Dark World more...natural. Y'know? The Ralsei loredump on Darkners is nice though. Sure, we knew Darkners can't exist in the Light World, but up until now, we never knew why. Susie caring so much for Ralsei is just so sweet.

Tenna...oh boy, Tenna...they certainly are a character. A great one at that. I like their special text effects, and I especially love how they only want to be watched, appreciated, needed. I really wish they were the final boss though. The fight looked heckin' awesome, and just like what a final boss should look like. King never revealed himself until the end. He was only foreshadowed. Queen (and by extension, Giga Queen) had buildup. We all knew it was gonna happen, we just never new how or when. Tenna? He had SHAZAM! I especially love how it's not just a straight forward fight. You actually go through minigames he had you play as contestants. Of course, the regular bullets are fun and unique too. Especially during that final attack.

WE NEVER GOT TO SEE MIKE?! WHY?!?! WHY FORESHADOW MIKE LIKE THAT IF HE'S JUST A STUPID SIDE CHARACTER?!?! NGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Can we get some Ws in the chat for Pippins? Like, congratulations to them for becoming actual enemies. I can only assume Toby found some better bullet patterns for them, because if not, I don't know why the heck they weren't in Chapter 1. Those bullets were awesome. Can't wait until I can actually get the game.

HAHA! SUCK IT KRIS KNIGHT BELIEVERS! SUCK IT GASTER KNIGHT FOLLOWERS! THE ROARING KNIGHT ISN'T EVEN A CHARACTER WE KNOW!!! My one complaint is that I feel like it's too early. Like, we're only three chapters in. The big reveal could've waited until like, Chapter 4.

T-t-toriel d-didn't join the p-p-party....she was just another STUPID SIDE CHARACTER! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- I wasn't expecting a Weird Route (we're done with those anyway), I wasn't expecting her to be that significant, I JUST WANTED TO SEE GOAT MOM FIGHT! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!?!

Y'know, one of the only complaints about Undertale were the overworld sprites. Deltarune? Not only is the sprite work great, but THE ANIMATION. It's improving greatly! I honestly felt like I was watching a fangame at moments.

I loved the little Board Sections. It felt like we got to see Delta Warriors act...natural. They were just...having fun. I honestly thought that the entire chapter would just be them completing boards until Tenna let's them seal the fountain. I kinda wish there were more wholesome moments like that, but I'm glad we got what we got. :)

Uh, Toby? Where are my bosses? I see Tenna, I see Rouxls, where are the rest? YOU DID NOT JUST MAKE A CHAPTER WITH ONLY TWO BOSS FIGHTS!!! Sure, there's the Roaring Knight if that counts, but that's just an automatic lose. In previous chapters, we had a decent amount of bosses. Chapter One had 4, five if you count the second K. Round encounter Chapter 2 had 7, 8 if you count the second Berdly fight, why so little with Chapter 3?

All in all, Chapter 3 looks like a GREAT Chapter. It just...feels like it's missing something. I don't know what it's missing, it's just missing...SOMETHING y'know? Something that was in the past two chapters. I hope Chapter 4 doesn't give me the same feeling. I just can't put my finger on it.

I do also think the chapter was rushed a bit. Like, already, we're revealing the Roaring Knight? The Bunker is opening? It just feels like a lot happened in one chapter.

All in all, great chapter toby! Hope they keep getting better!

2

Art thou STUPIDE!?
The Weather couple had a boss fight!

3

I FORGOT ABOUT THEM LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

4

Besides, they're optional so I doubt they count. Even so, that's still only three.

5

You know I got a knack, for the trom-BONE! /lyr

6

Well at least we get more in Chapter 4

7

Oooh can't wait to see them!

8

Actually wait
It might only be four
I haven’t seen the final boss yet but i assume there is one
Then two optional bosses and a miniboss (who’s really fun)
So yeah

9

Ayo four's enough for me!

10

One of the four is SUPER SECRET
i don’t even know how they figured out how to access it
But i played it
OH WAIT WAIT WAIT THERE’S ANOTHER MINIBOSS I FORGOT ABOUT
5

11

If you’re referring to The Mikes, the code comes from old telephones. You know how sometimes phone numbers had letters substituting numbers? M falls under 6, I under 4, K under 5, and E under 3.

12

Bruh
How was ANYONE supposed to figure that out!?!?

13

I haven't actually played chapters 3 and 4 but from what I've seen(which is the entirety of the normal route) its peak, Rouxls Kaard was really funny(especially his relationship with th weather people) and I really like Tenna. The musics also really good and I was not expecting the ending. My main complaint is that I wish Undyne and Toriel were more relevant(and I wish Nabstablook was there).

14

Although Undyne coming in and attacking the Knight was peak

15

My one complaint is no Woody

16

OKAY ANOTHER MINIBOSS APPARENTLY

17

Yeah I wish Undyne was used more but what we got was cool as hell

18

Also can we get a moment of silence for the fallen

I think that the knight is still someone we know (pretty sure it's implied they're a lightner).

Also multiple knights theory is debunked

And I believe there is now only ONE (maybe two) possible options based off the following.

Susie mentions that since the knight has a connection to the mayor, the police, and whatever the heck the third thing is.
THAT MEANS THERE ARE ONLY TWO POSSIBLE PEOPLE
The Mayor herself (though the connection to the police is more vague, maybe the whole bunker thing idk)
OR
Well
You know what I'm gonna say.
Disgraced ex-police chief, family friend of the mayor and best friends with the mayor's husband and all that jazz.
And I feel like it's being hinted at so clearly. Kris tells the knight to come over (oh yeah kris knight kahoots what the hells going on there?) and then we see asgore, shortly followed by mayor holiday. The scene is played so that at first you think it's asgore, and OMG asgore's the knight, but the mayor holiday arrives home from work early, implying that SHE'S the knight.
BUT
BUT
BUT
There is NO possible way that the mayor could have opened the church dark fountain.
She was with noelle at the time, or at least inside the house.
BUT YA KNOW WHO WASN'T IN THE HOUSE?
YOU KNOW WHO WE KNOW WAS BY THE CHURCH, LURKING IN THE BUSHES?!
MR. FLOWER KING HIMSELF.
and if THAT isn't enough...
there's one DAMNING piece of evidence left.

WHO is the Knight obsessed with?
Kidnapping?
Capturing?
WHO DO THEY SEEK?
Tori.

I rest my case

unrelated, but the WEATHER ALWAYZ ZTICKZ TOGHETER!!!
