How To Defeat The King In Deltarune

Okay, let's be real. That King dude in Deltarune? Annoying, right? He throws tantrums and cards, and acts like he owns the place. But guess what? He's not unbeatable.

The "Official" Way (and Why It's Boring)

Everyone says you gotta spare him. Pacify him. Show him the light! Sounds nice. But honestly, who has the patience?

It involves a whole lot of dodging. Plus, a whole lot of being nice. And where's the fun in THAT?

My Unpopular Opinion: Fighting Isn't *Always* Wrong

Look, I'm not saying go full-on genocide route. But sometimes, a little tough love is necessary. And by "tough love," I mean strategically whacking him with a weapon.

Is it the *best* ending? Maybe not. Is it satisfying? Absolutely.

So, How DO You Beat Him Down (If You Dare)?

First, stock up on healing items. You're gonna need them. Those card attacks sting!

Second, focus. Watch his patterns. He's predictable, like that one friend who always orders the same pizza.

Third, use your strongest attacks. Ralsei's healing is great, sure. But Kris and Susie? They're there to deal damage. Let them do their jobs!

Fourth, don't be afraid to defend. Sometimes, a good defense is the best offense. Especially when dealing with a literal king-sized temper tantrum.

The Secret Weapon: Annoyance

Here's the thing: King is basically a spoiled brat. He wants attention. He wants control. So, take that away from him.

Beating him down is a form of defiance. It's saying, "I'm not playing your game."

Think of it as a really intense game of dodgeball. But instead of a ball, it's your sanity. And instead of dodging, you're strategically inflicting damage.

Is It the "Right" Choice?

Probably not, according to the game. Deltarune pushes you towards pacifism. It wants you to be the good guy.

But hey, sometimes being a little naughty is fun. And sometimes, a digital king just needs a good whooping.

Besides, there are multiple endings. So experiment! See what happens. Who knows, you might accidentally discover the secret to world peace through aggressive combat.

Just kidding. Mostly.

Ultimately, it's your game, your choices. So, play it how you want. Whether you spare him or smack him, have fun! And remember, video games are supposed to be enjoyable. Even if that enjoyment comes from virtually dismantling a power-hungry monarch.

Now go forth and conquer (or negotiate)!
