The Soulless Pacifist is there for a reason...

Anyways, it's time for.. More Genocide!

So, I forgot to mention last time we went to Hotland, that there's a barrier, similar to the one at "The End", that prevents you from just skipping to the elevator after killing RG01 and RG02 early.

The Mettaton encounter at Alphys' Lab remains the same as Normal Mode. In fact, nothing really changes until Muffet, who simply doesn't die in one hit. After that, things remain relatively normal.. Until the end of the CORE. (I was really thinking about whether to put Gerson at the end of Hotland where Mettaton's ballet used to be.. Or to put him in somewhere else.. I decided on the latter. But putting him at the end of Hotland works as well, if you're willing to split the CORE and Hotland into two separate areas when it comes to the kill count.)

.*strikes Mettaton NEO*

Mettaton NEO: YOU'LL HAVE TO TRY A LITTLE HARDER THAN THAT, DARLING..

*Mettaton NEO jumps into action!

Yes, Mettaton NEO is a real fight. If you want an idea as to how he'll work, here you go:https://youtu.be/qmqYB9OD-Vk?t=613

But it's not completely accurate. For one, Mettaton doesn't mention learning anything from Alphys, because we didn't fight her. Second, there is no "Space Invaders" attack. Instead, you get an attack similar to Lunatic Mode of Touhou. Third, the whole "Flee" command just doesn't exist at all, just like it doesn't exist when fighting, say, Sans or Undying. No weird "But you realized there was no overworld".

So soon, you make it to New Home.

There's no special dialogue from looking at the calendar, there. However, Flowey's story is quite different.

I'll reveal it next post.
