Fans of developer Toby Fox's work were surprised when he announced that Deltarune: Chapter 2 was being dropped within days. Many fans were able to revisit the Light and Dark Worlds filled with lots of unique characters to interact with again.

Those returning to the game after playing Deltarune: Chapter 1 may have a good idea of how the game works. However, it's understandable if some forgot how the game functions, especially for those who missed Chapter 1 entirely. Because of this, it's important to go into Chapter 2 with some knowledge of how to handle specific situations and how to advance through the game.

8 Talk To Everyone

Those who play the RPGs that Toby Fox creates know that the games have plenty of characters to talk to. While some individuals are placed just to make a witty pun or two, others may have important information about the lore that surrounds the game or important tips as to how to advance through it.

Regardless of what kind of dialogue they provide the player, it is worth talking to everyone because there will always be something to take away from it. Any minor character has a chance to leave a lasting impact on the player.

7 Look Everywhere For Secrets

Unlike Undertale, Deltarune is more linear in the way the story progresses. That means a room that Kris discovers early on in the game may not be accessible later on. Because of this, it is important to explore every nook possible to make sure nothing is left behind.

For example, there are chests that are placed throughout the chapter that may contain some cash or a useful item. There may also be some easter eggs or gags that are hidden in plain sight. There may even be a route that players could discover while moving around.

6 Spare To Recruit

In Chapter 1, Ralsei would encourage Kris to spare enemies in battle. However, there was never a reason to do so outside of the kindness of the player's heart. This changes early on in Chapter 2 when Ralsiei introduces the concept of recruiting.

With this, each enemy that Kris successfully spares during battle will be invited back to the player's castle town. Some enemy types will require more than one of them to be spared over the course of the game. There is even a chance that a spared enemy that was recruited will show up in a battle to fight in the party's favor.

5 Prioritize Armor Over Weapons

If players are looking to take the route of sparing people, it may be worth thinking of this strategy when purchasing things from the local shop. When looking to get any items that can be equipped for people in the party, it is essential that pacifist players prioritize armor.

Even if players did want to do some attacking, some enemies can be brutal with their attacks. Increasing everyone's defense can help players stay around in battles longer and can make reaching the end of them a lot easier. One or two nice weapons aren't the end of the world, however.

4 Stock Up On Health & TP Items

While getting some armor and weapons at shops are important, so are getting items that can be used in battle to keep certain party members afloat. Luckily, many of the "studios" that players stop at in the game have a selection of health items to choose from.

Health is among the more important items to have in case one individual has their HP go dangerously low while in the middle of major confrontations. It may be worth getting some items that prioritize TP as well. These items can help keep Ralsei and Susie's magic readily available.

3 Don't Stress About Story Choices

There is another major difference between Deltarune and Undertale: the choices made by the player do not matter that much. There is a chance that specific dialogue and scenes may change depending on a choice provided to the player.

However, a theme throughout both chapters thus far is that no matter what happens over the course of the game, everyone will end up in the same place. There's always a chance that may change in future chapters, but for now, don't worry too much about missing out on something important depending on a choice made.

2 Never Skip A Save Point

This may be obvious, but it is important to save the game whenever there is an opportunity. Unfortunately, Deltarune does not have an autosave option like most games nowadays. Instead, players will need to look out for a white rotating star that is flashing on the screen.

Kris can approach this and the profile can be saved immediately. There is also the ability to save the game in a different save slot in case players want the option to go back in the game. Either way, these are very important to use in order to avoid potential frustration.

1 Don't Try To Understand Everything

One thing to keep in mind when playing Deltarune is that there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to the story. This is especially true given that the story is going to be told over the course of seven chapters.

Through two chapters, there is still a lot of plot points that have not been closed just yet. It is definitely fun to theorize on what is happening in the game, but don't feel disheartened if things are hard to grasp. There is so much story left to tell and it's worth enjoying the arc of Chapter 2 by itself as it is more clearly presented.

Deltarune was released on October 31, 2021, and is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
