Obtain the Tough Glove
When you leave the Ruins and reach the first save point "Path of the Box," there is an abandoned box. Inside, you will find the weapon "Tough Glove," which makes it easier to defeat enemies. Be sure to collect it and equip it to enhance your combat abilities.
The Tough Glove is an equipment that increases damage when you press the button at the right timing and rapidly tap the button. To efficiently defeat enemies, make sure to input the commands correctly.
Defeat Snowdrake
Enemies will start appearing from the "Path of the Box." If you fail to defeat Snowdrake, it will result in a failed Genocide Route. It is recommended to defeat Snowdrake before proceeding further to reduce any potential risks.
Additionally, in the areas beyond Snowdin, you can check the save points to see the number of weak enemies you must defeat. You must defeat Snowdrake before the count reaches 0. If you have postponed it, make sure to regularly check the count at the save points.
Defeating the Mid-Boss "Doggo"
When you proceed to the right from the "Box Path," you will encounter a battle with Doggo. Doggo's attacks with blue bones will only hit you if you move, so stay calm and deal with them. If you have the Tough Glove equipped, you can defeat Doggo with just two attacks. With the Glove on, there is no need for any special strategy.

1 | Head north on the reverse T-shaped road with ice floors and a signboard, and collect 3 Snowman Pieces. |
2 | Defeat Lesser Dog at the reverse T-shaped road. |
3 | Continue forward while watching the events with Sans and Papyrus. |
4 | Defeat the Dog Couple. |
Collecting 3 Snowman Pieces
When you go north from the area where you defeated Doggo, you will find a snowman standing there. If you talk to the snowman in the Genocide Route, you can collect 3 Snowman Pieces, which can restore 45 HP each. Be sure to stop by and make use of them for the boss battle at the end.
Defeating Lesser Dog
In the area beyond the T-shaped road, you can encounter Lesser Dog once. You fail the Genocide Route if you don't defeat it. Some monsters only appear after encountering Lesser Dog.. Make sure to defeat it before the Dog Couple battle.
Defeating the Dog Couple Starting with Dogaressa
In the Dog Couple battle, it is recommended to defeat Dogaressa(on the right) first. If you defeat her, the remaining Dogamy will become sad and their abilities will be significantly weakened. On the other hand, if you defeat Dogamy first, Dogaressa will become furious and their attacks will become stronger.
Walkthrough Chart for the Greater Dog Battle
1 | Proceed straight and advance through Papyrus' event |
2 | Defeat the Greater Dog |
Proceed Straight and Advance Through Papyrus' Event
After defeating the Dog Couple, continue straight and progress through the event with Sans and Papyrus. There won't be any battles, but if your HP is depleted from previous battles, make sure to restore your HP at the save point. Once you pass through the giant ice floor, you will reach the area where the Greater Dog appears.
Defeat the Greater Dog
Continue further to the right after passing through the giant ice floor to engage in a battle with the Greater Dog. You can defeat the Greater Dog by attacking it 3-4 times with the Tough Glove. As long as you restore your HP beforehand, you should be able to defeat it without much difficulty.
Papyrus Battle Walkthrough Chart
1 | Proceed right from the location where Greater Dog was and head to the town of Snowdin. |
2 | Check the kill count at the save point and return to fulfill the conditions. |
3 | Once the conditions are met, return to the town and steal items from the shop. |
4 | Proceed to the right end of the town and defeat Papyrus. |
Check the Kill Count and Return to the Forest
Once you arrive at the town of Snowdin, check the kill count at the save point and return to the forest. If the message "That comedian..." appears, it means you haven't defeated Snowdrake. It is recommended not to decrease the kill count until you defeat Snowdrake.
Also, before returning to the forest, explore Snowdin town and talk to the residents. In the Genocide Route, you can observe the uneasy atmosphere created by the protagonist who keeps defeating monsters. The residents' sense of discomfort will also rise due to the absence of the Dog Couple and Greater Dog.
Steal Items and Money from the Shop
Once you have set the kill count to 0, return to the town of Snowdin and steal items and money from the shop. The shopkeeper and residents have evacuated, so you can replenish your stock with any items or money from the shop.
Defeat Papyrus
After fulfilling the conditions of the Genocide Route and completing your business in Snowdin town, proceed to the right and engage in a battle with Papyrus.
Papyrus can be defeated in one hit, so there is no need to prepare for the battle. However, you will need the determination to defeat someone who believes in you even after they have a change of heart.
