The Undertale Iceberg Explained - A Deep Dive

[@MishKoz]

This was an amazing video, I can't begin to imagine the amount of effort put into this. Also you've probably already gotten hundreds of comments pointing these things out, but the quote at 1:00:26 is a direct reference to Earthbound, where "bepis" is replaced with whatever Ness' favorite food is. Something that people kept pointing out to me on my iceberg video is that "tarot" isn't pronounced like "carrot," instead being pronounced like "arrow."

[@Seeks_stuff]

46:34 The "papyrus survives" theory is based on a potential glitch that happens in the genocide route in the first time you see Undyne. Where if you walk backwards instead of forwards before Undyne hears you in the bushes, even tho papyrus should be dead because you just killed him, his sprite still appears standing still in the corner of the screen, because usually in the neutral/pacifist route, he appears and speaks to Undyne. Maybe even tho he doesn't talk to her on the genocide route, his sprite is not removed from the cutscene, it just stays off screen, but you can see it if you walk the non-intended way. Leading people to think he's either alive or that's some sort of ghost.

Re: Chara's alternate grave theory. I think the purpose of that tree is actually to say Toriel isn't a good gardener. Later in new home the plants are thriving because Asgore is a great gardener. On the inverse Asgore isn't a good cook, but Toriel is which goes to show how they used to really compliment each other before they split.

I'm returning to the undertale fandom after being inactive/absent for like 5 years and watching this really made me realize that I need to finish playing Deltarune (both chapters) and also that I forget what is considered well known in the fandom. I do think it's interesting that gaster is considered a skeleton because in reality there's not that much evidence, save for the sprite name and font stuff, plus the sort of similar design that could have a white skull and eyesockets. In reality this "character" if you could even call it that, was another one of those things the fandom took and made a whole backstory and existence after one tiny appearance within the canon, similar to the redhead in the danny phantom TV show being taken by that fandom and turned into "wes". I do also headcanon that he's a skeleton and the former royal scientist, but it fascinates me how intense the fandom is with their backstory and what they consider canon when it really isn't even known if one thing or another is canon. (also I haven't played the game or interacted much with the fandom in years I'm going primarily off memory forgive me if there's something that was confirmed to be canon by toby or I misremembered)

I’d like to add that Asriel can also be an anagram for Sariel, and Asriel itself is very similar to Azrael. Sariel and Azrael are angels associated with death.

This is just reminds me in Deltarune after you wake up it Chapter 2 when you check the computer it said "Epic Games stuff" and it says "The final boss seems to be a creature with rainbow wings" this could be referencing Asriel Dreemurr Phase 2 which is the final boss of Undertale TPE.

13:44 of note: since sans will say the line about reports showing a spacetime anomaly regardless of whether the player has ever saved or loaded before, its possible that the anomaly he "detected" by whatever means was actually flowey experimenting with saving.

[@Void_Echoes]

Or, assuming it is referring to the player at all, they just didn’t make new dialogue for the event of a player deciding to do an entire genocide run in one sitting. I don’t have an in-universe explanation for it though. I like the Flowey idea though.

[@gypsysprite4824]

honestly, it's probably the combined result of you and flowey fucking with the timeline. after all, there really was much of a time gap between flowey getting the DT abilities and us falling down and more or less stealing the DT abilities from him.

[@zmaster4761]

But he will say it's your fault anyways there are only two ways this could be explained the first explanation and the most probable and true one in my opinion is that toby did not think about this, and never thought that the player would actually manage to do such a thing, honestly if I were him I wouldn't think about it either. The other explanation is that the player entering the world of undertale and taking control over frisk's soul missed up the timeline so much and affected sans' readings, since we know from deltarune that the player doesn't control frisk but controls his soul this could be possible. Though explanation 1 makes more sense

A little tidbit on Gaster's removed Tarot card: It is the 9th major arcana, that being "The Hermit". I would explain the card's meaning on my own because i'm familiar with tarot but here's an exerpt from Biddy Tarot: Upright Hermit: "The Hermit shows that you are taking a break from everyday life to draw your energy and attention inward and find the answers you seek, deep within your soul. You realise that your most profound sense of truth and knowledge is within yourself and not in the distractions of the outside world. You leave behind the mundane to set off on a journey of self-discovery, led only by your inner wisdom and guiding light. Now is the perfect time to go on a weekend retreat or sacred pilgrimage, anything in which you can contemplate your motivations, personal values and principles, and get closer to your authentic self." The Reverse Hermit suggests 1 of 2 things: 1. You are lacking introspection and care for yourself. Perhaps the answer you are looking for is right inside of you? You have been clouded by too much outside interference. 2. You have retreated too far away from the rest of the world. It's time to come back from the void you ran into to think about everything. *Now isn't that very fitting, considering this is the card missing from the deck? The character who became a hermit represents said card and is conveniently missing.*

So one of my friends, who played the game totally blind last Fall, discovered this and theorized that Asgore knew about saves. I dismissed it, saying he was just thinking about other children. However, based on this dialogue, he thought he could spare Asgore by dying repeatedly and reached an absurd amount of deaths, well above 6. The dialogue remained the same, even as the death count surpassed the # of humans he's actually killed. While it doesn't prove it, I think that gives some more credibility to the theory that Asgore has some knowledge about saves.

Saw a tumblr post about this that I'll try to summarize for this: It's actually the opposite. Toriel isn't trying to replace her son, but rather she sees him in every child who falls into the Underground. She takes them in, loves them, acts as a mother, all in an attempt to make them stay. Because every time a child leaves, every time they walk through the door and out of the Ruins, Toriel sees Asriel leaving the barrier, only to return dead. Every time she sees a child leave the safety of her home, she loses her son again, and again, and again. Edit: spelling

Something I feel should be pointed out about "Deltarune" at the start of the Iceberg. The Delta Rune was actually mentioned in Undertale. Gerson (the turtle merchant) says that it's the emblem of the Kingdom of Monsters. It represents the monsters down below and possibly the angel above. The angel might represent Asriel, but I think it represents Frisk as it's unclear to the monsters whether their prophecy means the angel will free the monsters, or kill them all. So with Frisk, it could be either of those outcomes. I think it'll have some significance in later Deltarune chapters. We'll just have to wait and see. Gerson is actually dead in Deltarune, so that might factor in to something later on.

[@Thaddeus_Crews]

I'm almost certain I know what "Papyrus Survives his Death" is referring to If I'm not mistaken, they're the ONLY character to not disappear entirely into dust - not right away that is. Undyne holds on in her undying state, but once it transitions to the dust-fade she disappears in one piece. This is the same sound we hear from Sans offscreen before they disappear completely Papyrus defies this system. In the Genocide route, his body fades into dust, but his head continues to talk/plead with the player. His head too fades to dust soon after, but it isn't immediate. If we're to take this dust-state as "death", then although the time in which he did so was brief, Papyrus indeed survives his death

[@Asher5581]

That really actually proves more to the theory that Sans didn't even die at the end of the Genocide route. Since Sans doesn't die right away either and you do way more damage than his HP, it probably means that the slash on him IS in fact ketchup. The only problem I see here is the dust sound effect that's used when he's off screen plus you level up to LV. 20.

Although obviously Deltarune hasn't been fully released, from Undertale we'd already come to the conclusion that Sans (and Papyrus, for that matter) had come from /somewhere else/, while nothing in Deltarune indicates Sans isn't originally from that world (unless you count the player treating sans as an acquaintance, which still doesn't really contrast with this theory at all). On that note, keep in mind during Deltarune Papyrus is still so little that Sans asks Kris to babysit him. In Undertale, Papyrus is grown up. I had frankly forgot about the theory I commented but now that I think about it again, I'm pretty damn certain on it.

I really miss the prime of this game. I’m replaying it and it’s such an incredible game and people don’t talk about it as much anymore. And on top of that it’s kind of become a meme and is associated with “cringyness” which sucks cause it’s so good and now there’s this stigma :(

[@RisingSunfish]

I just played it for the first time... I'm pretty good at remaining out of the loop on overhyped media, so I got to be surprised by most of the game. Now I'm trying to catch up on the highlights of the last 6 years. My point is, there's still people discovering and falling in love with it! And it's accessible enough that most people can play through pretty easily, so just taking the game on its own the barrier to entry is practically nothing. At any rate, anyone who refuses to engage with the game because "ew undertale fans" has some growing up to do.

[@emsiyes]

@@RisingSunfish about that last quote, yea. People say that they hate Undertale and refuse to play it just because "the fandom is crap"

[@mcspazzyt6705]

Yup, I hate how the game gets looked down on for the fandom, even though some of the fans I’ve met are really cool! In fact yesterday I introduced the game to a friend and she was really excited. It’s such a good game, and it’s really an awesome story.

[@kristofkristof5243]

It's the time for Deltarune now. Chapter 2 is, in my opinion, Toby's greatest work so far, so fans might as well start focusing on that instead of Undertale. They should, because we've seen Toby's improvement in game designing, writing, and composing.

[@gingerhoney1038]

Yeah. I was obsessed with Undertale when it first came out but I soon stopped being obsessed with it after I gained new interests and eventually leaving it behind. But I soon decided to watch a gameplay of it since I had nothing else to do and I can say I am back to liking it again. It's a great game and Toby Fox did amazing with it.

14:56 I actually do believe Goner Kid does refer to Gaster he says, Have you ever thought about a world where everything is exactly the same. But you dont exist? That situation happened to Gaster he fell into his own creation making everyone forget about him and the world didn’t change. After all Gaster doesn’t exist in undertale unless you manage to get fun value 66.

1:00:10 Fun fact about Bepis: If you use hacks to remove your armor, and get the Papyrus call at the second flower puzzle, he will say he saw you wearing Bepis. No other dialogue is changed, he just replaces what your armor would've been with Bepis.

[@happyboy07685]

I'm the guy who found the glitch to allow LV20 True Pacifist to be possible, and I'm glad to see it all the way at the bottom of the iceberg! The glitch itself actually has little to do with the punch card, although that's the easiest way to trigger it. It's the same glitch we now use in speedruns to skip Mad Dummy, and there are a few really strange ways to use it.

@@ben2089 It's not something you'd really find unless you're looking for it. I wanted to know what would happen if you leave a room exactly when a battle happens, and this happened to be exactly what caused the persistence glitch. Then it was a matter of finding a spot to activate this glitch to allow time travelling to before the Mettaton fight while keeping the true lab open, and using a previously known glitch to fight Mettaton repeatedly for LV20.
