Unlocking Spamton & Exploring his Creepy Backstory (Deltarune Chapter 2 Secrets / Theories)

[@TheWarriorLord]

When his eyes went to static and he asked if anybody can hear him, it genuinely scared me as it was so out of character, no Hyperlink blocks, no random misplaced letters or words... just, `Help`

I love how the battle becomes increasingly more terrifying. Like at first it’s classic Toby and his antics in speech, like “Spamton turns to the audience” but it soon becomes “there is no audience” and him saying shit like “Can anyone hear me?” out of character for him, one of the most unsettling is where it’s like “Spamtom begs the audience to stop taking the furniture fork his room” and other audience/Spamtom abuses

He asked if anyone could hear him during the fight too? I thought that was just at the shop. The furniture thing I just saw as a joke.

The furniture thing is likely due to the day he was to be evicted from the room he had in the queens mansion they took the furniture away.

[@sashakorytnikova4591]

[@generalkt5398]

The “Spamton turns to the audience” is a reference to Mettaton from Undertale. It’s theorized that Spamtons Neo form is actually Mettaton’s Body, specifically Mettaton Neo. The proof is the presence of sparkly wings and high heel boots on Spamton’s character. Throughout the fight, Spamton makes many allusions to the Mettaton Neo fight with the “Power of Neo” even appearing in the song “Big Shot.”

[@itspotatotime3527]

Spamton says " we are the same" because they both are controlled by a force outside the game. Spamton and jevil are imprisoned into the game by the developer and Kris is controlled by the player against their will, showing everything at the end trying to get rid of the player.

I think that Gaster is the one who says, "can someone hear me." Also during the boss fight Spamton has phones for hands, the line "Beware the man who speaks in hands" basically hints to Gaster speaking to him on the phone.

[@wilmagregg3131]

and all the side bosses involve people realizing the truth about there world and trying to seek freedom just like what happend to gaster to make him what he is now basically jevil and spamton were people on the verge of becoming full gaster followers but gaster stopped helping them at some point spamton when he became petty and arrogant with his sucess and jevil when he fell to total insanity. this means we might have a acutal gaster follower npc boss in future chapters

[@garrettviewegh677]

[@WillRock07]

I have a theory that Kris is just a vessel that is being controlled by the player against their will. There are hints that Kris however is his own person in how he interacts with the world beyond the actions of the player, which suggests they're aware the entire time, but beyond micro-expressions, they're not able to control their actions. In the Snowgrave route, things get really weird where the player and Kris seem to become separate - Noelle notices that they have a different, terrifying voice, and because the player can read text in the game, it's like mind-reading, which Noelle notices when you respond to something she's thinking about. Then you have a moment in the battle with Berdly where even if Kris gets knocked out, Noelle can still hear the voice of the player telling her to kill Berdly. I think this voice is just a manifestation of what the player is based on the actions you've taken, so I do think during the normal routes, the player is a force for good, much like Undertale. However, Kris is aware the entire time, and as a result, is trapped in this hell. I think the endings of both chapters where Kris rips the "Soul" out are the only times we actually see Kris as himself, which gives you an indication of the sort of character they are - aka they're not a good guy. The soul is the player. I suspect Kris is aware that without the soul, his body will probably die very soon, so he needs the soul to survive, but they can do just enough by ripping the soul out to do certain things of their own volition before putting the soul back and giving the player control again. I think it's highly likely, based on the ending of Chapter 2, that Kris is actually The Roaring Knight, who wants to destroy the entire world - but he's under the control of the player, and is trying to break free of the players control. I think this also ties in the theme of freedom that you find from the secret bosses. The secret bosses are both characters trapped and wanting freedom - both are completely insane, and insanely powerful. Spamton even says, which you noticed in this video, that he believes "You three can break your own strings" - aka break away from the control of the player. I think as the story goes on and we start to see who Kris really is, things are going to get dark and incredibly fucked up VERY quickly.

[@supersaiyaninfinityunivers7193]

I guess it was Chara

[@coraline2770]

Thank you yes and how Kris acts right after the boss fight I really think it got to him the whole puppet thing

[@5amisntlate]

The way I read it it kris is under the control of two forces - us and chara. The heart is kris's own, and when it's ripped out chara takes control. Whenever the game is being played, we're in control, and can choose to play into kris's nature (which I believe is good due to how seperated the player and kris become when choosing evil) or play against. I do believe chara is in this story though, because all the characters and their relationships stayed intact between undertale and deltarune, EXCEPT kris vs chara. An entire human being got swapped out for anothrr. Kris' attitude seems more like frisk than chara so where's chara? Still lurking. Still pulling strings. I do think chara will win in the end though. It says at the beginning of deltarune that we can't change the ending; I read this as "you can fight, you can struggle, you can beg, but you can do nothing" Chara. Will. Win. My main question right now is why the blatant favouritism towards asriel? What is up with that?

[@Krabbypattystealer]

The favouritism is because he's a fluffy boy

[@sargeantBones]

To be fair the other time when Kris takes control is when they save Susie from the king in the first chapter if Kris wanted her dead could have let her die. I don't think Kris is entirely evil. So far we don't know what their motives actually are. At the end of chapter 2 we see they slashed Toriel's car's wheels which seems malicious, but so did the ending of the first chapter until it was revealed that Kris wants to use the knife for the pie. My guess is either one of two things. Either Kris is trying to get control over their life back or this thing might be a red herring. To me it just seems too on the nose. There is one other character who acts extremly suspicious in this chapter, and that is Ralsei. The second you get in the cyber world he is there with you almost like he know where you were going, and despite the fact that he says that darkners can't resist in the cyber world he seems more than fine. The most supicious thing tho is that during the sequence when Susie enters Noelle's room he shifts the player's perspective by making the player witness the events happening in the room, all the while he is having a conversation with Kris, not the player Kris. If the same sequence play out during genocide run however he can't distract the player which visibly frustrates him. This hints that Ralsei is aware of much more than we think and might be hiding something.

WTF THATS MAKE SENSE

[@crowscrawl]

It's never actually stated that Kris is controlled by a malevolent force when they rip their soul out, but it is the only time we have no semblance of control over them, which, among many other factors particularly on the snowgrave route implies that the player controlling Kris is canon and that they are essentially trapped by us, the only times they are able to get free is when they rip out their soul or when Ralsei prompts us to follow Susie instead. In chapter 1, Kris rips out their soul to get some of the pie Toriel made which they know the player likely wouldn't allow them to do in the middle of the night (this is shown in how chapter 2 starts). When Kris rips out their soul in chapter 2 they slash Toriel's tyres and open a dark fountain, this probably just shows that Kris is enjoying their time in the dark world and hanging out with Susie and Ralsei, and in a way that is actually totally in-character for the Kris the townsfolk speak about. There is no school the next day so Kris wants to have an excuse to go to the dark world that might not show itself otherwise.

[@paonippobemduro]

Not really, it might mean a totally diferent thing: that we are merely controlling Kris's own soul, and that sometimes Kris get possessed by something and so he is forced to rip out his own soul. I don't think anything has been so different from the fact that we merely control the main character and make them choose options, just like how we control Frisk in Undertale.

One other thing worthy of discussion is Spamton's now-iconic glasses. Heterochromia is a cool touch, but the fact that they are pink and yellow specifically is interesting. Pink could well be a reference to the idea of "rose-tinted glasses", that the past was so much better (in a romanticized way) and that they would do anything to "go back" to that. Yellow, however, has historically been the color of fear as well as mania, both qualities I believe Spamton has in abundance. The fact that they are round as well presents an idea of completeness, or things returning to their beginning. In the end, he couldn't be anything more than a simple puppet. Sorry for the dissertation, but I thought it was worth going over. I'm making a pair for myself and plan on dressing up as our favorite $ale$man for Halloween!

Interesting that Kris shows more emotions in this chapter. It used to just be people pointing out Kris's facial expression. But after spamton neo, Kris shows a lot of fear, and then happiness because of his friends. I wonder if, because Jevil and Spamton didn't have that comfort, they ended up going crazy and losing it. Edit: I know Kris isn't actually referred as he/she, but rather them/they. It's just a habit a lot of us get because there's so many characters here.

I have a theory (that i stole) that the Shadow crystals might be parts of Gaster. Gaster was split accros time and space, as confirmed by the G. Follower holding a piece of him, this piece being a "chunk" of him, with other chuncks possibly being Mystery_Man, "redacted" from room 272, Mike, the Man who gives you the Egg and the Shadow crystals. The shawdow crystals are nigh Invisible and, when examined in game, allow you to see outside of the dark world's dimension (The computer lab in the case of Cyber City), witch are trates that fit with Gaster (Split throughout dimensions, have a tendency to disappear). My bet is that the crystals "embed" themselfs into the superbosses via their own will or influence from other parts of Gaster, like with Spamton and Mike. The only thing i can think of that makes me wounder is how Seam knows how to make them more powerful, or how he knows about them in the first place. He was close freinds with Jevil, but I think Sean may have had a "talk" with part of the doctor as well.

well you see there’s a thing in the files called a “pure crystal” and it’s description says “The shadow purified by the cat” so it’s likely that Seam purifies the shadow crystals (P.S: if you go to Malius there’s a recipe that needs the pure crystal)

I have a theory about the mysterious phone calls Spamton got that made him the way he is. Spamton was said to have gotten his success from the phone calls and he often talked on the phone and his business was booming at that point. When the phone calls stopped however, that's when it started to go downhill. His successful business because pretty much nothing and he became forgotten. When the one guy went to visit him and heard the garbage noise and stuff and it was exactly the Gaster noises from Undertale. While Gaster hasn't appeared in Deltarune physically yet, there's only the phone audio, which is both referred to by the player and others as garbage noise. Gaster seems to resemble a lot of qualities of the Devil, especially because of the constant connection with the number 666 in many ways, (like speeding up the bunker audio by 666%, giving you garbage noise) which is one thing. However, another characteristic of the Devil is also promising success, riches or whatever in exchange for something, but the consequences for that are often at the cost of something greater. His wealth and success diminished, along with his sanity, only until his last moments he briefly gained lucidity in his speech before his end. So Gaster could be a Devil-esque type of character after what happened to him in Undertale. If the trend with the number 6 has any significance, I bet Deltarune Chapter 6 might bring to light if all this is Gaster's doing or some other entity we have yet to see.

Honestly, I feel terrible for Spamton. He's been turned psychotic by Gaster (presumably), and at rock bottom. He's desperate to escape both his insanity and the mundane life he lives, but while it's mostly his aggressive, manic side we see, his true self rarely comes out. He's depressed, lonely, possibly scared, and pleading for help. Spamton wants freedom. He wants to be loved. He worships an audience that isn't even there. He hallucinates people dragging his things away, reliving the trauma of being evicted, and begs them to stop. He's been abandoned and betrayed by all of his friends and his business partner. He projects his self loathing onto Kris by calling them slime. This poor guy literally went insane from constant abandonment and betrayal, losing literally everything by force, realizing that he's always essentially a slave to someone else, that he'll never have freedom, he'll never be his own person. He calls out to his [Mama] before he dies, for Christ's sake. He has no friends, no home, no big possessions, no success, no freedom. Even his mind was stolen from him. Poor dude.

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of evidence to make a solid theory, but what I think is that since Gaster is connected to both Undertale and Deltarune, could he have also brought things with him from Undertale, or whatever other weird alternate timelines there are. It would explain the robot suit just being there with no purpose, why Gaster would tell Spamton about it, and hint as to what Gaster’s over all plan actually is. Both Jevil and Spamton are secret bosses and they both have come into contact with him, so if this trend keeps up, we may seem more secret bosses with references to other Undertale characters we know and love.

talk to seam with the crystal. he tells you the form the darkner possessed was very conected tot he lightner world, and that must mean the body they took was very beloved by the lightner that owned it. wich implies it could have been a toy alphies made, or a design she made in the computer lab, and it got left there. seeing as she also made mettaton ex in undertale's timeline

[@quantumblauthor7300]

@@AGO339 also talk to Swatch after fighting Neo and he'll further explain that Mettaton-ghost designed the body he wanted on a computer, but it got to the basement because there was never a way for him to make that dream real. Apparently in Undertale, it was also implied that Mettaton had a role in his final design, despite Alphys building it for him.

I like the detail on how spamtons glasses are the same as catty and braty's eye colors (catty's = pink; braty's = yellow), it's quite a coincidence on how in undertale they both sell stuff that they find in the trash as well.

This fight becomes a bit more of a cakewalk once you learn the Big Shot exploit that turns all of your shots into a machine gun without having to charge it.

There are three people who might be the knight: 1. Asriel (this one is very weak in my opinion Due to lack of evidence) 2.kris (the most likely one Due to him opening all of this fountins at the end of each chapter) 3.gaster (sean said that the knight made jevil this way so but the evidence all point to gaster making jevil crazy and thats the case then gaster=knight) Sorry if my english was a bit Weird

Okay so I've always said "Man the music has so many leitmotifs, I love it" but oh my god the connection of Jevil and Spamton is getting even bigger. He has a pixelated and crisp voice speaking in his theme and there are leitmotifs of The World Revolving in it and the Dummy!/Ghost Fight (undertale) part has still kinda got me stumped. It also has a very similar opening to THE POWER OF NEO (undertale) with the loud hit sound and him being called Spamton *NEO* in said boss fight- Aghh this is just amazing

It’s interesting how the attacks of each character in the game reflect their character. In jevils fight he leaves you very little openings and to little time to dodge really adding to the madness of the theme, it’s very fast paced while spamtons attacks are like his name suggests “spam” he throws all manner of bullish!t at you and hopes you get hit and with the theme playing in the background with his voice and motifs in the theme it’s just an overload of information.
