Pacifist

  1. Once you press the "Act" button, select "Talk", or whatever you have to use. If you have played the game before, and started by killing Toriel, you will need to select "Act", then "Talk." If you have played the game before 11 times, she will not hurt you at all, sending out a completely harmless attack. If you've played 12, and spared her all 12 times, she will not attack at all.
    • You do not have to heal yourself, because the fight with Toriel does not kill you. You will get to one or 2 HP, and an attack where fire balls drop from the top of the box will start, and you cannot hit them even if you try to. Save the Butterscotch Pie for the fight with Asgore (It helps a lot, put it in a box and don't use it.)

  3. You will need to do this 24 times. It seems like a lot, but you will not die in this battle. She will have dialogue inbetween them, give up, hug you, and run away after a piece of short dialogue.
  4. You have spared Toriel, and you are now in 'Snowdin' Forest!
    • These images are from "Hard Mode" in Undertale. If you name the character "Frisk" at the onset of the game, you will enter Hard Mode, where the characters and enemies are much harder. You will encounter entirely different characters, but the route ends after the Battle with Toriel.

    The dialouge will begin to repeat itself. After this happens, you can move to sparring.

    Nothing really. You will not progress until you finish the fight with Toriel and leave the Ruins.

      Tips

      • Take the Pacifist route. Don't do Genocide.
      • Once your health is at 2 or below, Toriel will use an attack that cannot hit you.
      • Try getting more items to heal your HP, so you will have a higher chance of beating Toriel. It's recommended buying items from the spider bake sale, as they only cost 7/18 G and can heal a lot of HP.
