About Asgore in Undertale
Asgore Dreemurr, the King of the Underground, is a truly tragic figure you will encounter in games of this sort. He’s a big and scary monster that can make any player sudden and have second thoughts. But his story goes beyond his sturdy exterior. He is a father riddled with grief. After losing his children, he vowed to break the barrier separating monsters from humans, even if it meant collecting human souls and declaring war. He carries this immense burden, but deep down, he’s incredibly kind and hates fighting. It’s a sad dilemma: a good king forced into a terrible role for his people’s sake. So, it is hard to defeat him, but there are ways you can do so.
How can I beat Asgore Pacifist?
Start engaging and then go for reduction
Asgore intentionally disables your “MERCY” option at the fight’s outset. Therefore, you must use the “FIGHT” command to progress the encounter. This does not gamble with your Pacifist run if you’ve avoided killing other monsters. After that, you can utilize the “ACT” menu to “Talk” to Asgore three times. This action will significantly lower his Attack and Defense stats, making the fight more manageable. If you still possess the Butterscotch-Cinnamon Pie from Toriel that you must have gotten, consuming it during the battle will further decrease his stats and provide healing.
Combat Strategy
Focus on dodging his attacks, which are faster versions of Toriel’s. Pay close attention to his trident attacks, during which his eyes will flash blue or orange to avoid damage. The blue light means that you need to stand still while orange means you should move. Continue to combat him until his health is sufficiently depleted.
Controlling the damage
Once Asgore is weakened, he will kneel, and the “MERCY” option will reappear. Choose to “Spare” him. Regardless of this choice, Flowey will intervene, initiating the Omega Flowey battle, which is a necessary step towards unlocking the true Pacifist ending.
Following these steps, you can combat Asgore. It is not easy, but not impossible either. The steps would have told you so till now anyway. However, make sure to follow the on-screen prompts and hints to avoid any wrong step or action that can sabotage your well-set game.
What happens when I spare Asgore?
When you spare Asgore after weakening him, he’ll give a short but sad speech, lamenting his past and the need for human souls. Just as he offers his own soul, Flowey abruptly appears, destroys Asgore’s soul, and then absorbs the six human souls. This immediately triggers the Omega Flowey boss fight, an important part of the Neutral ending.
