When you call Ralsei and Susie in this Spamton fight, it says *“Kris* called for help.” But when you call Noelle it says *”You* whispered Noelle’s name.” Very interesting, especially considering Noelle says the voice that she hears *isn’t* Kris’s.

At least in UT, you do everything yourself.

It's most likely that Berdly is dead in this route. Inspecting the beads toy in the hospital normally brings up how the beads march along their set path. In the Weird Route, it mentions that the blue bead has been torn off the track. And then any injuries received in the Dark World are reflected in Hometown. If Berdly removes the plug on his face during the Queen fight, his arm is paralyzed back in Hometown. In the Weird Route...he might not be immediately dead, but if he is frozen and unable to do anything, he will be.

Small theory of mine ad to why Noelle is so powerful: its because of the soul. We know from Undertale that a monster with a human soul is pretty strong, and while the soul still resides in Kris, we also know from the King and Queen battles that it is able to "shine its power" onto its party members. My theory for the souls motivation in snowgrave (assuming the soul isnt just literally the player) is, that it wants to make Noelle into its new vessel, and will eventually ditch Kris Majoras Mask style. Also, Noelle may or may not literally be the Angel, so that would be pretty nice for the soul

Fun number stuff time! Noelle does about 1997 damage on average to Spamton NEO. Each hit averages about 666. Very, very interesting. Based on how Spamton NEO reduces Kris’s about 210 damage per hit to 10 per hit, we can see that it reduces your damage to around 5% of the original damage. With that in mind, Noelle WOULD do about 13,320 damage per hit without his defense up. In total, almost exactly 40,000 damage. Yeah, needless to say, Noelle is freaking STRONG now.

I've heard a theory that it has to do with December, Noelle's lost sister, singing that she's with you in the dark, or something like that

I think it is really important to point out that this route is not caused by Kris. This is all caused by the Player/ the Soul. Noelle very clearly says that the voice she hears is not Kris.

The development of each chapter individually from now on will be a lot quicker, since Toby now has a team. But since he does plan two release 3, 4, and 5 all at once, so it still may be quite some time. Also, chapter two started development around May 2020, and a lot of that development time was still without a team, so didn’t really take three years. That time in between the release of chapter 1 and the start of 2’s development was spent writing every chapter, so it should go even quicker now that they don’t have to worry about that anymore. I estimate each chapter by themselves will only take a few months, so we hopefully we won’t have to wait as long. And the next batch of content will be three times as big! Edit: Now that I think about it, chapter 2 might have already been done for a while. It was originally supposed to come out with the rest of the chapters, but because of the rough spot the world has been in recently, Toby decided to release it now to try and brighten things up a bit. While not confirmed at all, considering it was almost done around a year ago, that might be the case. All the chapters had some decent progress around a year ago, as we can see in the Sept 2020 DR update, and that is when he didn’t have a team and development started quite recently. So maybe the wait won’t actually be too bad…

I wonder what exactly Berdly not waking up means. Has he fallen down? Since there's evidence that monsters still turn to dust in Deltarune, he cannot be 100% dead (at least not yet), since his body is there. Does this means he will turn to dust by next chapter, or will someone get him to the hospital the next day? Or is his consciousness still trapped in the Dark World somehow and that's why he isn't awake in the Light World? If he is actually dying, it would be really weird to see the future chapters accomodate for that, I bet him going missing would really change a lot of stuff up

The reason Noelle loses health naturally during the Berdly fight is because the Thorn Ring is stabbing her. It says in the flavor text that it “damages the wearer from pain.” There’s also an unobtainable weapon that you can get by fusing the Thorn Ring and something else. Which is interesting, since it seems to only be used for story purposes.

I'm not sure if Noelle's HP caps at 166, but Noelle leaves the party after fighting Berdly on a "Snowgrave" run and should you choose NOT to freeze Berdly with the "Snowgrave" spell (thus abandoning the route), there's only one battle left in the city and that's the solo fight with Kris vs. Spamton and you don't get stronger after that fight, even if you beat him with violence.
