5 tips to remember before playing Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4

1) Fix the Top Cake before giving it to the Top Chef in Chapter 1

Before you play Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4, it’s essential that you go through the previous two chapters first. It’s fine if you already did so years ago — replaying them again remains a fun experience since it will help you remember the major plotlines and decisions you made back then, since they can have lasting consequences now.

In Deltarune Chapter 1, you will meet a character called the Top Chef in the Dark World. He seems to be distressed because Susie ate his cake. However, you can repair his Broken Cake by taking it to Malius the smith in the next region of the game, the Forest.

When you bring the repaired cake back to him instead of devouring it because you have a sweet tooth, he will reward you with unlimited Spin Cakes, which can heal a significant amount of HP for all your party members. Therefore, this will be a big help for your party during battles.

2) Spare enemies to recruit them

Throughout Deltarune’s first two chapters, you have the option of weakening enemies and sparing them. You can do so by using the Spare command or by using certain specific ACT commands. For example, in Chapter 1, you can spare the K-Round enemy if you use the ACT command to bow down and loosen his crown.

If you do so to most enemies in Chapter 1, you can recruit them in Chapter 2, and so on. As such, it’s often a good idea not to be violent towards enemies and be the true benevolent hero you are supposed to be, irrespective of what Susie wants.

3) Talk to all NPCs

Like any other RPG, talking to NPCs is crucial in Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4. Most NPCs have multiple lines of dialogue, which happen after you talk with them a few times. This not only helps you understand more about the game’s wacky world, but doing so may often reveal hidden side quests that you otherwise might have missed out completely.

4) Explore as much as possible

While Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 might not be a completely open-world game, they still feature big open levels for you to explore. Each of the game’s areas has diverging paths, where you can take the unintended route to come across hidden NPCs and items.

As such, try to explore the map as much as possible, since you will eventually be backtracking to some of these locations later. However, don’t worry too much if you missed a path, since you can use the teleporting door later on to revisit these areas and explore them fully.

5) Collect all weapons and armor from previous chapters

There are many weapons and armor to collect throughout both the previous chapters, enough for a strong start in Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 if you wish to do a non-pacifist playthrough and kill everyone in your sight. You will collect most of them by exploring the world or buying them from shopkeepers like Seam.

It’s necessary to equip the best gear to make your fights easier. Good weapons like the Mecha Saber for Kris and the Devilsknife for Susie will simplify your tasks. Regarding armor, you must buy the Frayed Bowties for Kris and Ralsei, along with Chain Mail for Susie.
