How many kills for genocide?

To achieve a Genocide run in Undertale, you need to kill every single monster you encounter, with the exact number of kills depending on the route and the monsters you meet. The genocide quota is typically around 20 creature kills, after which the music changes, and you’re informed about the number of monsters left, eventually stopping random encounters and leading to a final confrontation with Toriel.

Understanding Genocide Runs

A Genocide run is one of the possible routes in Undertale, characterized by the player’s choice to kill all monsters encountered throughout the game. This route is distinct from the Pacifist and Neutral routes, where the player can choose to spare or befriend monsters.

Key Elements of a Genocide Run

• Killing Monsters: The primary requirement for a Genocide run is to kill every monster you encounter. This includes bosses and regular enemies.
• Quota: Meeting the genocide quota of killing a certain number of monsters (around 20) will change the game’s music and cease random encounters.
• Final Confrontation: After meeting the quota, the next step typically involves a final confrontation with Toriel in the Ruins.
