So, you’re eager to face the terrifying, screen-melting monstrosity that is Omega Flowey in Undertale? Fantastic! Getting to this unforgettable boss fight is a rite of passage for any Undertale player. Here’s the definitive guide on how to make it happen:
To meet Omega Flowey, you must achieve a Neutral Route ending in Undertale after your first playthrough of the game. This means reaching the end of the game without fulfilling the requirements for either the True Pacifist or Genocide routes. Specifically, you will encounter him at the end of your first playthrough. The main objective to achieve the neutral ending, is to kill a limited ammount of monsters, and not all monsters you encounter.
Achieving a Neutral Route
Let’s break down what you need to do to guarantee a Neutral Route and, consequently, a showdown with Omega Flowey:
- Killing is Okay, But Not Too Much: A Neutral Route essentially boils down to killing some monsters, but not all of them. The game tracks your LOVE (Level of Violence). If your LOVE is too high, you will head towards the Genocide Route. If it’s too low, you’ll likely trigger the Pacifist Route.
- Target specific monsters: A good strategy is to kill specific monster types while sparing others. Experiment and observe how your actions affect the narrative.
- The Asgore Fight: In a Neutral Route, you’ll eventually reach Asgore, the King of the Underground. It’s crucial that you fight him. After defeating Asgore, you’ll encounter Flowey.
- Flowey’s Intervention: After Asgore’s defeat, Flowey will appear, take the human SOULs, and transform into his Omega form. This is your cue to prepare for the battle of a lifetime.
Preparing for the Omega Flowey Fight
Now that you know how to meet him, let’s talk about preparing for the fight itself:
- Stock Up on Healing Items: You will take damage. Items like Snowman Pieces, Cinnamon Buns, and anything that heals a significant amount of HP are invaluable.
- Understand the Attack Patterns: Omega Flowey’s attacks are chaotic and intimidating, but they are predictable. Pay attention to the cues and patterns. Look for ways to dodge the incoming projectiles. As the document says: “If the vines attack out of Flowey’s body or guns start shooting fire, for example, just move to the left or right. If he fires cross patterns from his eyes, you can move left and right to stay between the beams.”
- The SOULs are Your Friends: During the fight, the human SOULs will rebel against Flowey and provide you with opportunities to heal and deal damage. Take advantage of these moments!
- Stay Determined: This fight is designed to be challenging. Don’t get discouraged if you fail the first few times. Learn from your mistakes and adapt your strategy.
What Happens After You Beat Omega Flowey Once?
This is crucial information! Once you beat Omega Flowey once, things change:
- No More Omega Flowey (Usually): On subsequent Neutral Runs, Flowey will not transform into Omega Flowey again. He’ll realize that the human SOULs will rebel against him, and he’ll skip the transformation.
- True Reset is Key: If you want to fight Omega Flowey again, you need to perform a True Reset. This is only available after completing the True Pacifist ending. A True Reset wipes everything, including Flowey’s memory of you.
- Deleting Save Data: Manually deleting your save data outside of the game will also reset everything, including bringing Omega Flowey back for another encounter.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some frequently asked questions about meeting and fighting Omega Flowey in Undertale, to help you better understand this iconic encounter:
- Does killing Flowey ruin a Pacifist Run? No! Killing Flowey at the end of a Neutral Route does not affect your ability to achieve the True Pacifist ending on a subsequent playthrough.
- Is Omega Flowey possible to beat? Absolutely! While he’s tough, Omega Flowey’s defense drops to zero after dealing with the six human SOULs. After that, the souls will provide healing and all that is necessary is to attack.
- Is Omega Flowey stronger than Sans? In terms of raw power, yes. Omega Flowey has significantly more HP and firepower than Sans. However, Sans‘ fight is considered more difficult due to his unique battle mechanics.
- What happens if you dodge Flowey’s bullets? If you successfully dodge Flowey’s “friendliness pellets” at the very beginning of the game, he’ll acknowledge that you know what they really are. It’s a fun easter egg, but it doesn’t affect the overall game.
- Does Omega Flowey appear in the Pacifist Route? The article suggests that you have to fight Omega Flowey during neutral and pacifist routes but that is not quite true. You have to fight him at least once but the pacifist route requires you to go back and befriend the characters that you did not get to befriend during your neutral run.
- What is the last boss in Undertale? The final boss depends on the route. In the Neutral Route, it’s Omega Flowey (on your first playthrough). In the True Pacifist Route, it’s Asriel Dreemurr. In the Genocide Route, it’s Sans.
- Can Flowey feel fear? Yes, Flowey does exhibit fear, especially during the Genocide Route.
- Does Flowey have teeth? Yes, Photoshop Flowey’s (Omega Flowey) form is a grotesque amalgamation of machinery and organic matter, including teeth, gums, and eyeballs.
- Does Flowey remember resets? Yes, Flowey remembers timelines that have been reset, due to his ability to SAVE before the protagonist arrives. However, the True Reset after a True Pacifist ending wipes his memory.
- Why is Omega Flowey so easy? He can’t stop the souls from saving after they contacted you so if you’re just a tiny bit good at dodging you can just wait until you act and no worries after six of the acts.
- Should I give Flowey mercy? Flowey does not deserve mercy in the moment. He realizes that he’s not apart from the other monsters and knows he will be killed.
