Branching Conditions for N Route Ending

Changes Whether You Spared or Killed Monsters and Bosses

The ending of the N Route changes the final conversation based on the number of defeated monsters, including bosses. Different endings like Friendship Ending and Dog Ending exist. To achieve a specific ending, meet conditions like defeating particular monsters or reaching a specific kill count before reaching the conclusion.

Asgore and Flowey are Not Included

The branching conditions for the N Route ending are based on the number of defeated monsters, including bosses except Asgore. Similarly, Flowey, who you only fight in the first playthrough, is also not included in the branching ending conditions. Defeat them to clear the story.

No Impact on Previous Playthroughs or Other Route Branching Conditions

The N Route ending does not affect the branching conditions for the P Route or G Route, regardless of which branching conditions you play with. If you want to branch into the P Route or G Route, you need to fulfill the respective conditions from Ruins to New Home.

Changes Based on Actions after Becoming Friends or During Friendship

The N Route ending has minor changes depending on your friendships with Papyrus, Undyne, and Alphys. The ending can also vary based on actions taken after befriending Undyne, such as killing monsters.

N Route Endings List

※ ◎: Friend ◯: Survived ×: Killed -: Not related to branching conditions
※ Asgore and Flowey are not included in the kill count

Friendship Ending

The Friendship Ending is the easiest and quickest ending to get when progressing through the P Route. To see the Friendship Ending, clear the N Route without killing any monsters, including the boss.

Further Changes when Becoming Friends with Alphys

In the Friendship Ending, the conversation changes when you become friends with Alphys. To get this, proceed to New Home without going to the True Laboratory and clear the N Route after becoming friends with Alphys.

Betrayed Undyne Ending

To unlock the Betrayed Undyne Ending, complete the game without killing Toriel, Papyrus, and Undyne, maintaining a total monster kill count between 1 and 9. Reach the Mettaton EX battle without defeating any monsters, and then achieve the ending by killing Mettaton EX.

Details Change Depending on Whether You Are Friends with Undyne or Not

The details of the Betrayed Undyne End vary based on whether you've befriended Undyne and if you've killed monsters after establishing this friendship. This results in multiple conversation variations within the same ending.

Toriel Exiled Queen End

To see the Toriel Exiled Queen Ending, you need to not kill the four boss monsters and kill a total of 10 or more encounter monsters. Alternatively, you can reach this ending by not killing Toriel and encounter monsters, but killing either Papyrus or Undyne, or both.

Undyne End

To see the Undyne Ending, you only need to kill Toriel, the boss monster. It doesn't matter if you defeat or spare Papyrus, Mettaton EX, or any other encountered monsters.

Mettaton Ending

To see the Mettaton Ending, you need to kill both Toriel and Undyne, the two boss monsters. It doesn't matter if you defeat or spare Papyrus, or any other encountered monsters.

Papyrus Ending

To see the Papyrus Ending, you need to kill Toriel, Undyne, and Mettaton EX, the three boss monsters. It doesn't matter if you defeat or spare any other encountered monsters.

Dog Ending

To see the Dog Ending, you need to kill all the boss monsters: Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne, and Mettaton EX. However, the monsters you encounter must either be spared or escaped from without killing them.

Conditions and Progression of the Dog Ending

Leaderless Ending

To see the Leaderless Ending, you need to kill all the boss monsters: Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne, and Mettaton EX. In addition to the bosses, you must also defeat at least one encountered monster. Make sure not to meet the conditions for the Genocide Route and keep the number of encountered monsters to a minimum.

Alphys Ending

To see the Alphys Ending, you need to progress through Hotland as the G Route in order to fight Mettaton NEO. After defeating Undyne the Undying in Waterfall, either miss the mid-boss in Hotland or keep the total kill count in Hotland and Core below 39 to deviate from the G Route.

Impossible Ending

The Impossible Ending is an ending that can be seen by modifying the game data and clearing the N Route in the PC version. It is an ending that can only be seen by tampering with the save data or through bugs, so it is not recommended to intentionally view it.
