Spamton Neo is one of the most challenging secret bosses in Deltarune Chapter 2, and if you’re struggling to take him down, you’re not alone. This fight is chaotic, fast-paced, and demands quick reflexes, smart strategy, and a bit of luck. Whether you’re playing the normal route or the brutal Snowgrave run, this guide will break down everything you need to know to finally put an end to the [BIG SHOT] salesman’s rampage.
Before jumping into battle, it’s important to know what makes Spamton Neo so tough. Unlike regular bosses, he throws a relentless barrage of attacks at you, mixing bullet-hell patterns with devastating special moves. On the Snowgrave route, the fight is even harder since you only have Kris—no Susie or Ralsei to back you up.
The key to winning? Preparation, pattern recognition, and patience.
Pre-Battle Preparation
Stock Up on Healing Items
You’ll need every advantage you can get, and that means loading up on the best healing items before the fight. Here’s what you should bring:
- CD Bagels – These heal a solid amount of HP and are easy to stockpile.
- Butler Juice (But Juice) – Restores 100 HP, making it a lifesaver in tight spots.
- Top Cake or Club Sandwich – If you still have the Top Cake from earlier in the game, use it. Otherwise, the Club Sandwich from the Clover rematch is a great alternative.
If you’re on the Snowgrave route, healing options are limited, so prioritize CD Bagels and any other high-value heals you can find.
Equip the Right Gear
Armor and weapons can make a huge difference in this fight.
- Devilsknife (for Susie) – If you have it, this weapon lets Susie deal massive damage with Rude Buster.
- Mannequin (for Kris) – Surprisingly, this seemingly useless item reduces damage taken from Spamton Neo by 35%.
- Best Available Armor – Check the Queen’s Mansion shop for defensive gear to minimize incoming damage.
Battle Strategy: How to Survive Spamton’s Attacks
Phase 1: Learning His Patterns
Spamton Neo’s attacks follow a set pattern, meaning you can memorize them with practice. Here’s what to expect:
- Pipis Barrage – Small explosive eggs fly across the screen. Destroy them with normal shots before they reach you.
- Face Projectiles – Spamton’s face appears and fires bullets. A charged shot (Big Shot) can destroy these instantly.
- Head Spin – His giant head spins around the screen, forcing you to dodge in tight spaces. Stay calm and move slowly.
Pro Tip: Defending gives you extra TP, which is crucial for using powerful moves like X-Slash.
Phase 2: Dealing Big Damage
Once you’ve survived the initial onslaught, it’s time to strike back.
- Use X-Slash Whenever Possible – This high-damage move is your best friend. Build TP by defending, then unleash it as often as you can.
- Avoid Spamming Big Shots – While tempting, overusing Big Shots can enrage Spamton, making his attacks longer and deadlier.
- Heal Aggressively – If your HP drops below 90, use a healing item immediately. There’s no room for risky plays here.
Snowgrave-Specific Tips
Since you’re alone in this version of the fight, every mistake is punishing.
- Play Defensively – Focus on dodging first, attacking second.
- Prioritize Healing Over Attacks – Without backup, you can’t afford to take big risks.
- Memorize Every Attack – There’s no room for error, so learn each pattern inside out.
Rewards: Puppet Scarf vs. Dealmaker
How you beat Spamton Neo determines your reward:
- Puppet Scarf – Obtained by fighting him directly. Boosts Ralsei’s attack but weakens his healing magic.
- Dealmaker – Earned by snapping his wires. Increases defense and gives bonus Dark Dollars after battles.
Most players prefer the Dealmaker for its versatility, but if you’re on Snowgrave, you’ll automatically get the Puppet Scarf.
