ASRIEL DREEMURRAsriel
Asriel is the final boss of the True Pacifist Route. At New Home's Barrier, Toriel, other main characters, and monsters stop Asgore's encounter. After absorbing the six human SOULs, Flowey ensnares and absorbs the monster SOULs. Flowey then transforms into his original form, Asriel Dreemurr, intending to defeat the protagonist and restart Undertale from the beginning. However, he mistakes the protagonist for the first human.
Asriel's attacks consists of a variety of rainbow and star-shaped attacks. It includes fire, diamond bullets, rainbow-colored straight beams and lightning, and blade swipes. In his final form, his attacks are a mix of rainbow-colored comets and a powerful beam.
Attacks[]
- Note: All attacks, assuming no armor and LV 1, deal 6 damage.
- Fire Magic: Copied straight from Toriel, Asriel uses this attack exclusively during the first phase, before "the true final battle" begins. Asriel most likely uses this as a means of taunting the protagonist by testing how easily they can be killed. This phase can be skipped by simply waiting it out: it is time-based, and ends when the beat drops in Hopes and Dreams.
- Star Blazing: Large, star-shaped projectiles rain down from the top-right corner of the screen in rapid succession, each one detonating into expanding rings of smaller projectiles just above the Bullet Board followed by one final, larger star that detonates directly above with a much denser ring. The upgraded version, "Galacta Blazing", is virtually the same except the small stars spin counterclockwise.
- Shocker Breaker: Asriel strikes the Bullet Board with bolts of lightning seven times, which are forewarned by [!] boxes. The base attack simply strikes in an alternating striped pattern, first small (four times), then large (three times). The upgraded version, "Shocker Breaker II", adds a series of targeted strikes after three small lightning bolts, and finishes by sweeping the battlefield left to right with big lightning bolts.
- Chaos Saber: Asriel hovers directly above the protagonist and swipes the bullet board five times with summoned blades, finishing by swiping both sides, leaving slow-moving residual sparks picking up velocity and flying across the board. The upgraded version, "Chaos Slicer", is considerably more dangerous as he picks up more speed and swipes the board six times. No matter what happens, however, his first swipe is from the right.
- Chaos Buster: Asriel summons a blaster and fires nine waves of bullets telegraphed by flashing lines, and finishes with a charged beam. The attack shoots in a pattern, which starts at three lines to four lines, vice versa. Dodge by moving when he fires three lines or the beam and remain still when he shoots four lines. The upgraded version, "Chaos Blaster", removes any patterns and fires randomly, and the charged laser creates a massive starburst that covers the Bullet Board.
- Hyper Goner: Asriel's final attack before he begins fighting at full power. The Bullet Board covers the entire screen before a large creature is summoned, similar in appearance to the DT Extraction Machine and Sans's signature "Gaster Blaster" attack. It then proceeds to laugh evilly, and then creates a powerful vortex that attempts to draw the protagonist's SOUL into the creature's mouth along with a series of diamond-shaped objects that deal damage on contact. If the protagonist is hit during this attack, their HP drops to 1 regardless of their equipped items, and all succeeding attacks do no damage. The attack can be avoided, though it is difficult to do so. After this, Asriel starts using his full power, initiating the final phase of the fight.
- Angel of Death: Asriel using his full power. However, his only attack in this form is a barrage of energy-based comet projectiles launched from his fingertips that enter the Bullet Board from the sides and home in on the protagonist's SOUL in massive waves.
Strategy[]
After enduring many of his attacks without health depletion, Asriel eventually transforms into his final form. The protagonist is now only limited to ACTing, and all of its options have been replaced with Struggle, which does nothing. After several turns of struggling, the protagonist realizes that they cannot reach their SAVE file and perhaps saving the game is impossible, but with the remainder of their power, they can save something else.
The ACT button then turns into SAVE, and the protagonist must set out to save their friends, Undyne, Alphys, Papyrus, Sans, Toriel, and Asgore, who appear as Lost Souls with Papyrus and Sans as well as Toriel and Asgore being fought together. Individual Lost Souls are saved after three turns of ACTing while Toriel and Asgore's Lost Souls are saved after four; Papyrus and Sans's Lost Souls are unique in that if the third ACT is used on Sans's Lost Soul, they are saved but if the third ACT is used on Papyrus's Lost Soul, one more ACT is required. It does not matter which ACT options are used. At the same time, each Lost Soul uses their respective attacks and SOUL Modes, save for Alphys (since she is never fought) who uses Mettaton EX's attacks. Saving a character fully heals the protagonist, as well as trying to save one that has already been. Just like Asriel, trying to FIGHT the Lost Souls results in a MISS. FIGHTing Asriel in this form results in a MISS and he attacks with the angel of death attack.
After saving all six, the SAVE option has "Someone else": implied to be Asriel. After selecting the name, the protagonist sees a slideshow of Asriel finding the first human, ending in a photograph of the first human, Toriel, Asgore, and Asriel. Trying to refuse the protagonist's advances, Asriel first launches a massive rapid-fire wave of energy bullets, but his second wave shoots fewer and less damaging bullets (which cannot hit the protagonist if they stay in the center). His attacks then turn into basic fire magic that deliberately avoids the protagonist's soul, much like Toriel's. He eventually launches an unavoidable beam that forces all options, except SAVE, offscreen, whittling down the protagonist's HP to the following numbers:
- 0.90
- 0.50
- 0.10
- 0.01
- 0.001
- 0.0001
- 0.000001
- 0.0000000001
Despite this devastating attack, the protagonist clings on and survives it. Asriel loses the will to fight entirely, with the rest of the battle consisting entirely of dialogue between the protagonist and Asriel as his form fades, leaving only his head. During this phase, any option in the menu progresses the dialogue.
Mechanics[]
During the first phase, the protagonist is given two options in ACT:
- Hope: Heals 1 HP, and reduces damage taken by 1 for the next turn.
- Dream: Heals 4 HP, and fills the inventory with Last Dreams, which heals 17 HP when consumed.
It is impossible to damage Asriel; any attempt to FIGHT results in a MISS. Asriel cannot be spared using the MERCY option. It is also impossible to receive a game over in this fight; if the protagonist's HP reaches 0, their soul splits in half before repairing itself. The first time this occurs, text appears reading "But it refused." The protagonist then receives full health and returns to the battle. After surviving three consecutive rounds, the dialogue resumes to advance the stages of the fight.

- [Toriel] ... taken six SOULs from the humans, then come back and freed everyone peacefully.
- [Toriel] But instead, you made everyone live in despair...
- [Toriel] Because you would rather wait here, meekly hoping another human never comes.

- [Flowey] And you know what the best part is?
- [Flowey] It's all your fault.
- [Flowey] It's all because you MADE THEM love you.
- [Flowey] All the time you spent listening to them...

- [Flowey] And now, with their souls and the humans' together...
- [Flowey] I will achieve my REAL FORM.
- [Flowey] Hee hee...
- [Flowey] Huh?
- [Flowey] WHY am I still doing this?
- [Flowey] Don't you get it?
- [Flowey] This is all just a GAME.
- [Flowey] If you leave the underground satisfied, you'll "win" the game.
- [Flowey] If you "win," you won't want to "play" with me anymore.
- [Flowey] And what would I do then?
- [Flowey] But this game between us will NEVER end.
- [Flowey] I'll hold victory in front of you, just within your reach...
- [Flowey] And then tear it away just before you grasp it.

- [Flowey] Even if it means killing you 1,000,000 times!!!!
- [Flowey] What?
- [Toriel] Do not be afraid, my child...
- [Toriel] No matter what happens...
- [Toriel] We will always be there to protect you!
- [Papyrus] THAT'S RIGHT, HUMAN! YOU CAN WIN!!
- [Papyrus] JUST DO WHAT I, WOULD DO...
- [Papyrus] BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
- [Undyne] Hey! Human! If you got past ME, you can do ANYTHING!
- [Undyne] So don't worry! We're with you all the way!
- [Sans] huh? you haven't beaten this guy yet?
- [Sans] come on, this weirdo's got nothin' on you.
- [Alphys] Technically, it's impossible for you to beat him...
- [Alphys] B-but... Somehow, I know you can do it!!
- [Asgore] Human, for the future of humans and monsters...!
- [Asgore] You have to stay determined...!
- [Shyren] La la la la!
- [Vulkin] We're with you too!
- [Monster Kid] C'mon, you got this!
- [Muffet] You've GOT to win!

- [Flowey] ALL OF YOUR SOULS ARE MINE!!!

Post-Battle[]
- I'm so sorry.
- I always was a crybaby, wasn't I, <Name>?
- ...
- ... I know.
- You're not actually <Name>, are you?
- <Name>'s been gone for a long time.
- ...
- Um... what...
- What IS your name?
- ...
- "Frisk?"
- That's...
- A nice name.
- ...
- Frisk...
- I haven't felt like this for a long time.
- As a flower, I was soulless.
- I lacked the power to love other people.
- However, with everyone's souls inside me...
- I not only have my own compassion back...
- But I can feel every other monster's as well.
- They all care about each other so much.
- And... they care about you too, Frisk.
- ...
- I wish I could tell you how everyone feels about you.
- Papyrus... Sans... Undyne... Alphys...
- ... Toriel.
- Monsters are weird.
- Even though they barely know you...
- It feels like they all really love you.
- Haha.
- ...
- Frisk... I... I understand if you can't forgive me.
- I understand if you hate me.
- I acted so strange and horrible.
- I hurt you.
- I hurt so many people.
- Friends, family, bystanders...
- There's no excuse for what I've done.
- [Do not]
- ... right.
- I understand.
- I just hope that...
- I can make up for it a little right now.
- [Forgive]
- Wh... what?
- ... Frisk, come on.
- You're... You're gonna make me cry again.
- ... besides, even if you do forgive me...
- I can't keep these souls inside of me.
- The least I can do is return them.
- But first...
- There's something I have to do.
- Right now, I can feel everyone's hearts beating as one.
- They're all burning with the same desire.
- With everyone's power... With everyone's determination...
- It's time for monsters...
- To finally go free.
- Frisk...
- I have to go now.
- Without the power of everyone's souls...
- I can't keep maintaining this form.
- In a little while...
- I'll turn back into a flower.
- I'll stop being "myself."
- I'll stop being able to feel love again.
- So... Frisk.
- It's best if you just forget about me, OK?
- Just go be with the people who love you.
- [Comfort him]
- Ha... ha...
- I don't want to let go...
- Frisk...
- You're...
- You're going to do a great job, OK?
- No matter what you do.
- Everyone will be there for you, okay?
- Well... My time's running out.
- Goodbye.
- By the way...
- Frisk.
- ... take care of Mom and Dad for me, OK?

Trivia[]
- As a Boss Monster and a Dreemurr, Asriel's battle has Serious Mode enabled.
- If the protagonist is equipped with an item that provides healing such as the Stained Apron or Temmie Armor, they can gain HP after the final attack. The amount of HP listed remains at 0.000000001.
- The attack in Asriel's final form can still hit the protagonist's SOUL when in the action menu.
- In the Japanese translation, Hyper Goner is known as Hyper Missing. This is likely a homage to Final Fantasy VI, in which Kefka's ultimate attack was known as "Missing" in Japanese but translated as "Goner" in the SNES translation.
- When "the true final battle" starts and Asriel is still using his fire magic, he ends it immediately.
- Asriel's Star Blazing and Galacta Blazing are probably based off PK Starstorm from the MOTHER/Earthbound series.
- Asriel is one of only three characters who interferes with the protagonist's battle options, along with Asgore and Sans, as his last attack causes all the options to shake and fall away except for the SAVE button.
- The "But it refused" mechanic actually persists after defeating Asriel. The flag that determines it is never unset, allowing Frisk to refuse in any fights after Asriel.[1] However, this is not possible to see without using glitches to re-enable battles, as the only battle normally accessible after defeating Asriel is Mad Mew Mew, which resets the flag.
- The sound of Sans's Gaster Blasters consists of two sounds used by Asriel. First, the text sound when "ASRIEL DREEMURR" displays at the beginning of his battle (mus_sfx_a_gigatalk), and second, a beam sound used by Asriel's Chaos Buster and final attack (mus_sfx_rainbowbeam_1).
- Asriel's battle is the only one where it's impossible to die.
- Both Undyne the Undying's armor and Mettaton NEO's body closely resemble Asriel's Angel of Death form, displaying a heart on the chest (and both gloves in Undyne's case), large, spiked shoulder pads, and, in Mettaton NEO's case, enormous, vibrant wings.
- Asriel's fire magic is shared with the rest of the Dreemurr family.
