Okay I need, help, like real help.
I'm doing pacifist run, I don't even want to attempt the bad routes, not even in another file I will delete later, but I'm in the middle of chapter 3 after the second round and I just completed the second level of the "real" videogame and
>you have to kill creatures, the more you kill, the stronger you get, of course, you get excited thinking about what thing will you be able to kill destroy now
>golden flowers attack you, and you obviously kill them, too, until there's nothing left
>once you do it, the music turns off and you only hear the wind blowing, silence, Undertale genocide run style
>this is supposed to be "real fun" for Kris, who as far I know, is a weirdo with a knife like Chara
>and now in the second game the same happen except it goes one step further and makes you encounter a white cloaked figure with an incredible freezing power, like Noelle
>you literally have to use her to traverse the area, and once you reach the door, you use her up completely, the game even says so
>then you enter the door with blood red borders and horns and only find immense darkness where you get the next key
>then the game says you have been used up too, and shuts down
At first I assumed the "true game" was fair game because it's literally a videogame in-universe, so even for the characters of Deltarune this is fake and nobody suffered nothing, but after the second game... Am I doing something wrong? As far I know this is for the shadow mantle or something like that which I need to beat the knight later? Jevil and Spamton could be beaten peacefuly so I assumed I wouldn't choose if I'm violent or peaceful until I fight the knight for its shadow crystal, but I guess I'm wrong? Can I fight and beat the knight doing everything I've done so far BUT not playing the "real videogame" with clear genocide/snowgrave parallelism, get my shadow crystal and go back to old Seam without blood on my hands?
