Nightmare Knight | DELTARUNE Chapter 5 UST (Fan-made KNIGHT Boss Theme)

I feel that the fight against Papyrus, if he were the knight, would surely be one of the most difficult in Deltarune, This is because if he thinks that he is actually the hero and we are the villains who want to take away his friends, he will put all his effort into defeating us.

[@eragons1894]

Man, i'd love it if Papyrus turned out to actually be the Knight. It would add so much complexity to his character. When you think about it, Papyrus is the only major Undertale character we don't help in any way during pacifist route. We don't know his weaknesses, his insecurities, and he's in a way, even more mysterious character than Sans. At least we know some of the Sans's background, but we have no clue what kind of past Papyrus had. Also, there's gotta be a good reason, why Toby's hiding Papyrus from us in Deltarune. I can't imagine it just being a "funny gag", considering Papyrus is already a fan favourite character, and even Toby himself seems to be obsessed over him.

[@sirtopoftheworldegg]

you are everything

[@jma0645]

I also can kinda imagine papyrus making some "POOR LONELY DARKNERS" go mad by accidentally parroting forbidden gaster knowledge like him saying "don't worry little jester you can do ANYTHING because you guys aren't really real or so I have been told anyway I believe in you Mr jester have fun" And accidentally setting jevil insane

[@evilness3404]

Papyrus is the character in UT that has the most dialogue. I do think he's going to have a roll in this game in some capacity, but I do not think it will be as an antagonist or a major character. We already have too many hints about where the story is going and a ton of other little subplots that similarly will probably not get much screentime and there are others that deserve it far more. All signs point to either Kris, Alvin, Dess, or Mayor Holiday being the Knight. No other knight makes sense. Kris is who Toby wants us to think is the knight. Despite the fandoms insistence all arguments against Kris-Knight rely on misunderstandings about the events of the story, vague dialogue, or assumptions we know are incorrect. Kris-Knight also shifts the focus from "who is the knight" to "why is the knight doing this," which is itself a far more interesting question. It also makes their other bizarre actions make sense, especially if they have knowledge of future events. Alvin is insanely sketchy and is most likely going to be in Chapter 4's dark fountain. As a result, however, his knight candidacy chance is low. His father is more important to the plot than he is ATM due to the implications that Gerson has been in a dark fountain before. The Holiday family is potentially linked to nearly every major conflict in the game. Rudy's incoming death, Dess' disappearance, the foreshadowing about the Mayor, and Noelle's struggle with everything is all being massively hinted at. The prophecy had banishing the "ANGEL'S HEAVEN" as the goal and Noelle has a lot of links to religious themes and figures (alongside being directly called an Angel or more specifically the "Angel with Tattered Wings.") She is also placed on a equivalent level to Kris and Susie by the intro narrator and has numerous Gaster connections. Her facing off against either her mother or long-lost sister would be great story potential. I think the Knight will probably be resolved by chapter 5, followed by Bunker chapter 6, and then roaring/angel's heaven/another thing, maybe idk.

"Smells like bones" is such an unnecessarily menacing line here and I love it. Anyone not from Undertale would think it was implying the bones of supposed victims of the Knight, considering how antagonistic of a force he appears to be, it would be hilarious to see their reaction to everyone's favorite skelebro popping out from underneath that menacing suit of armor. Not to mention, I like to think Papyrus either doesn't realize that this is anything more than a game, or that he genuinely thinks that he is the hero of the story. His eccentric and awkward way of talking would be the perfect way to play a game of misunderstanding between him and our heroes, and I think this theme perfectly encapsulates that, especially the use of Don't Forget and Nightmare Knight (Cucumber Quest readers would know ;] )

[@merpymerpington9175]

Being Papyrus, he might not even realize the Roaring is a thing.

[@Raiz136]

Honestly, I think it'd be interesting if Papyrus didn't appear to have the enthusiasm and gusto in Deltarune's Light World that he had in the Underground, resulting in him using a "The Knight" persona as some sort of outlet for him to feel like he's able to truly go and be something even better, something he wishes he could be. Cool, popular, memorable... all of that of which he might not see in himself as in the light world, yet. The result could be an exaggerated version of how he behaves in Undertale, with the flaws brought closer to the forefront to continue the trend of aspects of Dark Worlds being founded on the escapism of Lightners'; be it the oh-so familiar body of NEO that Spamton got ahold of and used against the Lancer Fan Club (or just Kris, under particular circumstances) or through the implications of parts of dialogue throughout chapters 1 and 2. He'd be different, but still the same. Just like the other familiar faces in the Light World. Or, in other words... Despite everything, it'd still be Papyrus.

[@Missingno_Miner]

I'm glad to see a Knight theme that doesn't use the Freedom motif. Seam specifically differentiates between the Knight and the unknown person who spoke with Jevil and Spamton, and Spamton confirms he knows nothing about the Knight during the Spamton Q&A. There's no connection between the secret bosses and the Knight, so it bugs me how their motif is overused in Knight themes. I'm equally glad to see an underused motif like Papyrus' cool song, especially when it goes way harder than it needs to.

[@surreal6055]

tysm! i'm glad you enjoyed it! and i didn't think people would pick up on the papyrus' cool song motif, either lol

[@NormalOval]

Actually all the secret bosses seem to oppose the knight likely for its anti freedom behaviours, considering the one who pulls Spamton’s strings is an it like the knight who Queen calls an it, Spamton knows of the knight according to his shop dialouge but doesn’t leak their identity out of fear of being censored, Jevil tells the lightners to stop the knight too

[@Missingno_Miner]

@@NormalOval Actually, Spamton confirmed in the sweepstakes Q&A that he doesn't know who the Knight is. In his shop, he was just trying to keep Kris talking and keep them trusting him. Jevil knows of the Knight, but he also knows of Queen, so that's not really a concrete connection between the two: I mean, Seam's whole shtick is knowing things they shouldn't, and Jevil knows more than them.

[@NormalOval]

@@Missingno_Miner considring Spamton got censored when he tried to leak the knight in the shop he likely learned his lesson when it came to messing with the knight and played dumb

[@Missingno_Miner]

@@NormalOval Except there's no reason to assume that over the more logical assumption that he was simply lying in the shop, given how he has a clear motive to lie. We don't even know if the Q&A is set before or after the events of the game.

I always thought of this one part of "Chaos King", as "Delta Warriors" leitmotif. For me it sounds like "Yeah, you may be tough, but we are Delta Warriors.

I'm not a fan of Papyrus Knight theories, I might even go so far as to say that I hate it, but I'm not going to rant about that, in fact I want to gush about how much I love this track. The reason I bring that up is because the use of Bonetroustle in this track is absolutely magnificent. It keeps itself out of the limelight so that the track doesn't feel like "hey remember undertale" but instead gives the knight plenty of musical identity while contrasting that with the musical identity of the heroes; and only once all that is done, there's a tiny nod back to who the knight truly is, just to keep the player grounded with that knowledge

friendly reminder - Nightmare knight is a song by toby fox (if someone dont know)

[@pixelmate4926]

I love the leitmotifs here! This really brings out that "mysterious badass" boss fight energy.

[@lasagna3289]

I love this so much!! The instrument choices are really good, and that part at the end is so cool.

Possible Story: The Delta Warriors stood against the Roaring Knight one final time, stats and abilities increased to their absolute limits. They weren't gonna be caught slacking again. They saw the Knight gaze out across the barren field, with aspirations greater then the overwhelming evil and darkness that emanated from him. Knight: Back again, hm? It would seem that you three are more determined then I had thought. Ralsei: I'm sorry Roaring Knight, but we will not stop fighting. I ask you again to please stop this madness before it is too late. Knight: Madness? Is it madness to see a world beyond fate? Beyond prophecy? You of all people should know something of that. For so long you have been shackled by the legend. To play a part in someone else's story. Haven't you ever wanted to live a life you wanted? Susie: Says the guy playing the role of the villain. Knight: I'm playing the role of the savior. With my power I can give you all a world where pre-ordained events no longer exist. I can make it so whatever action you do it would matter! The Knight summons forth his twisted sword, a jagged, obsidian blade with black smoke leaking out of it. Knight: I only need but break the balance that keeps this universe stagnated. With my will I can forge a better one where freedom reigns supreme; set forth on this land in a violent roar of ecstasy! Ralsei: Please Knight you can still change- Knight: No you can change! You can become better then a mindless servant of fate! You all can break your ties if you let this come to pass! Susie: You're crazy! You're just gonna get everyone killed! Knight: And since when did you start caring about everyone?! Was it when you promised it to Noelle before- Susie: SHUT UP! Susie fires a red buster at the Knight. He slumps over on the ground. Bit by bit, his helmet starts to crack, until it shatters completely, revealing the face of Papyrus. Susie: The. Hell?! Ralsei: Impossible.... Papyrus, with a snap of his fingers, forms a new helmet over his head, smiling deviously at the Delta Warriors and their shocked expressions. Knight: A good "villain" always brings a backup. Getting up, the Knight then slams his twisted sword into the Earth, causing a new Dark Fountain to form. Knight: As much as I'd like to stay and boondoggle, I have a world to change! MWAH HA HA HA HAAAAA! The Knight begins hovering up into the air, and flies away. He then returns a couple seconds right after he left, though. Knight: HA! He then flies away from the Delta Warriors, off to create more Dark Fountains. Susie: He's getting away! Ralsei: Not for long! With a moment's concentration, Ralsei causes the ground beneath him, Susie, and Kris to crack and fly up into the air, catching up to the Knight. Knight: So you truly can't stay away from me, huh? If I bore flesh I'd blush. Very well then... With a swoosh of his cape, the Knight goes into his battle stance. Knight: LET'S END THIS FEUD ONCE AND FOR ALL! MWA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA! Just a little idea for a story that can go along with this song. It assumes a lot but I think it works as a funny little short if the Knight really does end up being Papyrus. Great music and battle screen. Keep up the great work!!!

[@Missingno_Miner]

...Papyrus can blush just fine. Not sure what that line about "if I bore flesh" is on about.

[@thefarlander2050]

A THEME FIT FOR THE GREAT PAPYRUS

[@Internet_oddity79]

I like how this still maintains the Kirby influences of the original while adding more deltarune elements very good job!

[@brawlmasterjoelstudios]

In my AU, Papyrus is a red herring as the Knight, and I feel including his leitmotif still works for that idea.

[@Charkis97]

Considering that papyrus' Battle theme used to be rude buster, i am surprised from the lack of that leitmotif

[@Kikin07]

IF theories are correct, this is the perfect possible theme for the knight battle!😺

[@Emperor_Creeper]

This is *amazing!* Absolutely amazing, keep up the great work. Honestly I love the idea of Papyrus being the Knight, and I really hope he is.

[@JamesTrifolium]

At least the fandom has settled on the Knight either being Papyrus or the discarded vessel. …Along with Mike either being a TV-head or Gaster’s alias.

[@whocaresaboutthename6850]

TV Head is Tenna Bruh

[@VectorJW9260]

Honestly, the discarded vessel is probably the pawn, going by chess theory.

[@shafaatRizki_0]

2:35 i like this part Seriously, this use of the don't forget leitmotif is very good, even if only for a moment

[@radiosilent0]

god the guitar in the faint courage part at 2:23 is amazing

I love how the Don't Forget motif is unofficially tied to the Knight while the Freedom motif is tied to Gaster.

[@spacecowboy3569]

Holy shit this track is AMAZING My one and only personal and selfish desire for Deltarune is for Toby to actually use the Nightmare Knight them as the Knight's theme. If he did it for Mettaton, why not here? But this track? It is EXACTLY how I imagined their theme would be, almost breaks my heart knowing this wont be the Knight's actual theme

[@Cloud_Strife1997]

this cover is amazing because it greatly respects the kirby’s dreamland 3 inspiration the original was filled with, and still sounds like it could come from a kirby game. i am biased as dreamland 3 is my second favourite entry in the kirby series, but still.

[@Grazetheplantboi]

I love the menacing Papyrus knight theme. We really need a tough Papyrus. Oberon is cool but I would love Papyrus be a villainous person for once who will be a threat

[@whocaresaboutthename6850]

Top 5 Knight Candidates for me: 1. Kris 2. Papyrus 3. Alvin 4. Gaster (Egg Connection) 5. Oberon Smug

god i love all of the motifs you put in here. this song is unbelievably sick (in a good way) you are one of my favorite artists when it comes to dr/ut fan songs

[@JustinDep-l5t]

i love how the song has little twists on it like on the end of every chaos king part, the song kinda climbs a spiral

[@brontegoodman6238]

My leading theory? Sans is from Undertale. Papyrus is not. There are two Gasters and there is a Deltarune Sans. He's trying to find his family.

[@regalx1]

When I first heard the song it sounded weird, it didn't sound like a knight theme at all (ala Shovel knight). It sounded more like a dark warlock theme. However I read the comments and apparently this is aupposed to be an evil Papyrus, now I like the song more.
