How to Conquer Omega Flowey: A Comprehensive Guide

So, you’ve stumbled upon Omega Flowey, the monstrous, soul-powered version of everyone’s favorite malevolent flower in Undertale. Don’t panic! This battle is a bizarre spectacle, a test of endurance, and ultimately, a triumph of kindness. Here’s the breakdown of how to survive and emerge victorious:

The key to defeating Omega Flowey lies not just in dodging, but in waiting for the opportune moment and utilizing the power of the human SOULs. Initially, your attacks are useless. Focus solely on dodging the relentless onslaught of attacks coming from Flowey. These include:

Shrinking Circles: Watch for small circles appearing around your SOUL. Move out of them as they shrink to avoid damage.
Criss-Cross Beams: He fires orange and white beams in a criss-cross pattern. Move left and right to avoid them.
Flamethrowers: When he uses flamethrowers, move as high as you can in the box and slide left and right to keep moving.
Vines: He fires a barrage of vines. Move up and down in the box to dodge them.
Finger Guns: He uses a finger gun attack. Move up and down in the box to dodge them.
Bombs: Watch out for flying bombs and move out of the area where they will land.

Survive until the human SOULs intervene. This is signaled by a change in the music and the appearance of different colored hearts. Each heart will offer you healing and allow you to perform a specific action, such as “Fight,” “Act”, “Heal”, or “Shield”. Once the hearts have helped you all you have to do is hammer the attack button. When Flowey is defeated, you’ll have the option to spare or kill him. Sparing him is important if you want to get the true pacifist ending later on.

Understanding the Omega Flowey Encounter

Omega Flowey is the final boss of most Neutral Runs in Undertale, appearing after you defeat Asgore and if you haven’t already beaten him once before. He absorbs the six human SOULs to gain immense power, becoming a grotesque amalgamation of technology and organic matter. This fight is unique because it breaks the fourth wall, utilizing save files and creating a chaotic, almost unfair environment.

Phase 1: The Gauntlet of Attacks

This phase is all about survival. Omega Flowey throws a barrage of increasingly difficult attacks at you. Don’t bother trying to attack; your attacks are ineffective until the human SOULs assist you. Focus on dodging and learning the attack patterns.

Phase 2: The SOULs’ Intervention

After surviving long enough, the six human SOULs will begin to rebel against Flowey. Each SOUL will manifest as a colored heart and offer assistance. This is when you finally get a chance to fight back. When the hearts have helped you all you have to do is hammer the attack button. The music will change when this happens.

Phase 3: The Betrayal and the End

After the SOULs help you defeat Omega Flowey, he is weakened and reverts to his Flowey form. Now you have the choice to spare or kill him. Sparing Flowey will allow you to pursue the True Pacifist ending in a subsequent playthrough.

Tips for Success

Learn the Attack Patterns: Practice makes perfect. Repeated playthroughs will help you memorize Flowey’s attacks, making them easier to dodge.
Stay Calm: This fight is designed to be overwhelming. Don’t panic. Focus on each attack individually and react accordingly.
Prioritize Survival: Don’t be greedy. Focus on dodging and healing when necessary. You can’t win if you’re dead.
Use the SOULs Wisely: Pay attention to the actions offered by each SOUL. They can provide valuable healing and buffs.
Don’t Give Up: The Omega Flowey fight is challenging, but it’s not impossible. Persistence is key.
