The Ultimate Guide to Deltarune Chapter 2’s Final Boss

The question of who the final boss is in Deltarune Chapter 2 isn’t as straightforward as it seems. The main antagonist and final boss of the normal route is Queen, full name Serial Number Q5U4EX7YY2E9N. However, that’s not the whole story. The Snowgrave Route (also known as the Weird Route or Genocide Route) features Spamton NEO as the main antagonist and final boss. Further complicating matters, a more difficult version of Queen, Giga Queen is presented in this chapter as well. So, the answer depends heavily on which route you pursue!

Unpacking the Final Boss Dilemma

Let’s break down the final boss situation in Deltarune Chapter 2 a little further. Your experience with Chapter 2 hinges on the choices you make, particularly concerning Noelle.

• Normal Route: Queen

  On a standard playthrough, where you’re not manipulating Noelle into using her ice magic extensively, you’ll face Queen as the final boss. She’s the ruler of Cyber World and presents a chaotic, high-energy battle. Her motivations are centered around spreading her influence and control, making her a compelling antagonist. The ending reflects your relative passivity and the consequences of allowing Queen’s plans to unfold unchecked.

• Snowgrave/Weird Route: Spamton NEO

  If you guide Noelle down a darker path, exploiting her abilities and manipulating her actions (particularly using the Snowgrave spell), you’ll trigger the Snowgrave route. This transforms the narrative, replacing Queen as the final boss with Spamton NEO. In this route, Spamton NEO’s appearance and motivations change drastically. He becomes a powerful puppet seeking freedom from his own strings, fueled by a distorted desire for control and recognition. This battle is significantly harder and emotionally resonant.

• Bonus Encounters

  During Chapter 2, you can also encounter Spamton NEO as a bonus boss on a normal route if you help him enter the Queen’s Mansion basement. If you opt to enter the Queen’s Mansion, you can either do so using the LoadedDisk or by freezing Berdly.

Battling Queen: Dodge, Counter, and Persevere

Queen’s battle is a test of endurance and pattern recognition. She boasts a diverse range of attacks, and learning her tells is key to survival. Remember:

• Dodge, then Counter Punch: Focus on evading her attacks before retaliating.

• Practice Makes Perfect: Queen gets faster with each phase. Her attacks are initially patterned, but once you grasp the sequence, it becomes manageable.

• Healing is Crucial: Don’t skimp on healing items! This fight can be attrition-based.

Confronting Spamton NEO: A Puppet’s Desperation

Spamton NEO is a whole different beast. His fight is considered one of the hardest in Deltarune, requiring precise timing and strategic ACT usage. He’s fueled by pain and desperation, making the encounter both challenging and emotionally charged. There are a few ways to beat him:

• ACTing vs. Fighting: The method you use to defeat Spamton NEO impacts the reward you receive. Defeating him through fighting gives you the Puppet Scarf. Using ACTing gives you the Dealmaker.

• Understand his Attacks: Spamton NEO has a unique attack pattern that you need to learn. He has a variety of attacks, so be prepared.

• Prepare for a Challenge: Be prepared for a tough fight with unique mechanics.
