So, if he doesn't die, how are you supposed to beat Sans?

WHY would the game even be deleted? What Chara does to the world is good enough. And Chara wouldn't attack you. Why would they? They prefer just destroying the world and leaving you and them.

You see, Hard Mode is just that:Hard Mode. We can add story to it for it to make sense that everything's hard, but the game being hard does not mean that you should lose your greatest ability-The ability to revert anything.

If you do a Genocide Run, just turn every Pacifist Run into Soulless Pacifist like what is supposed to happen!

Now, if we want to know what Hard Mode SHOULD look like, we first need to look at what we already have:Hard Mode Ruins. In Hard Mode, the enemies are replaced with stronger counterparts, Napstablook "didn't get the memo", and Toriel.. Well, Toriel has harder attacks, but will still eventually miss on purpose. Hard Mode ends just before you would meet Flowey again. From Napstablook, we know that there was a "memo"-A REASON as to why the monsters attack more viligantly than they would originally. So Hard Mode is an alternate timeline. This is going to become important later on.

Now, I think I know why Hard Mode ends where it does. It ends that way because Flowey would mention "Frisk" at the end, since Frisk and Chara share names. But I shall be fixing this problem! ...Flowey just won't mention that name. He'll still say you're just like him (Flowey, not Chara), though. Just nothing about the inseparable stuff.

The screen turns to white, as you leave the Ruins for the first time in Hard Mode.


 * UNDERTALE: Hard Mode|


 * It's finally here!|


 * Yeah, I know, right?|


 * Was it worth the wait?|


 * Deltarune's delayed now. Is it still worth it?|

You're never lead to the lamp by Sans, so you have to hide behind it yourself. Be quick and accurate-If you're too late, or even one pixel off, Papyrus will spot you!

If Ruins is Touhou hard, might as well get some pixel-perfect movements in there eventually. By the time you reach the CORE, things might just get comparable to those Touhou bonus stages (Which can get harder than Lunatic Mode!)

Doggo.. Well, no matter how many crazy attacks he has, you can still just stand still. Looks like his vigilance got him absolutely NOWHERE. Now, considering that entering Hard Mode would only be done by those who know Frisk's name at the end of Pacifist, they'd probably already know blue attacks mean stop-Sans doesn't have to explain that to you. Thus, he doesn't. Also..

*In this hellish world, you can only take two Snowman Pieces.

(DUN DUN DUN!)

Now it's time for Papyrus's electric maze. The footprints do not appear when Papyrus walks over them-Just like they don't appear when Papyrus walks on, well.. Anything else. You have to memorize the path he took-And getting shocked deals 10 damage. Yes, THAT much. Yes, that means getting hit twice (or maybe 3 or 4 times with LV) will KILL you from max HP. This is Hard Mode, guys! Expect to die a lot like you died a lot from monster attacks in the Ruins.

In the "Ball" game, you can only get money from the first Red Flag. Any other flag will net you nothing.

Next, is the word search. You actually have to solve it this time. The impossible word is fixed though, the puzzle can finally be solved.

Dogamy and Dogaressa's attacks are sped up, and already move as if one of them was killed. The tile puzzle actually works:Getting shocked is 8 damage, getting bitten by pirahnas is 4 damage.

Greater Dog's spear attacks are harder-There's one from the right, but also one from the left.

The Gauntlet works-The spikes will swing, the cannons and blades will fire (cannonballs are affected by gravity, the blades aren't), and the flamethrower will alternate between burning and not burning-Similar to the flamethrowers on Super Mario Bros. 3 airships. Oh, and the dog barks at you. Also, getting hit is 9 damage. Good luck, because that means 3-5 hits and you're dead.

Wow! We're finally at Snowdin Town! Time to sleep at the inn to get an extra 10HP!

*One night is 80G.

Yeah, right. And I don't have that much, so it's free, right?

*What? You don't have the money? Sorry, but no money, no room. Come back when you have the money.

Aw, come on!
