I mean... he's a kid that willingly jumped into the underground to find out what happened to the missing humans, I think that's pretty bold move that definitely needs therapy at that age
"And now you turn into a literal bird, wich I guess isn't too weird cuz you're already are a literal bird" That's some very logical logic you got there Merg
Itd be cool to see what happens after this ending, maybe toriel tales over the kingdom but is overthrown by undyne, just like in that ut neutral run, meaning that frisk can only exit by killing kanako or toriel, who are both boss monsters.
Honestly I love the endure option in the fight. It makes it feel like both Clover and Martlet are being pushed to their limits after decimating each other and either one could collapse any second. Really gives the fight a totally different feeling to the sans one
What I don't understand is why Flowey even tried to reset after saying it's a dead end, he had to have seen the fight, which means he had to have seen Martlet overdose on determination, and then Clover beats her, and he still thinks he's the most determined thing in the underground??? Floweys dumb
I’m just gonna explain the luv randomly leveling up during the axis fight. Basically, LV is how easy it is to hurt people (at least that’s how sans put it) so when axis admits that he killed one of the humans, it becomes easier for clover to bring himself to kill axis.
Lv also can never go down once it goes up, this is how Clover is now, it also makes it harder for them to feel empathy or any other emotion really, I don't remember where this is from but gaining Love also physically hardens your soul, which explains the defense and hp increase, and also why Asgores trident breaks on contact with it, things harder than titanium now.
@@nothingboie7329 i dont think its said anywhere that it hardens your soul. thats probably a headcanon. sans only says that you distance yourself from your soul (i think)
Fun little detail you missed: In the Steamworks, you can find Mo in a northern section the lava area, and on the genocide route Clover will pull a gun on him in the middle of his sales pitch. I didn't have the heart to find out what the 'Rob' option did, so I let him go. Honestly one of the worst moments in my opinion, given how Mo does nothing but help you even on this run
Spoilers if you want to rob Mo He doesn't die, you literally do just rob him of all his g, and he leaves saying hes a goner, if not today from Clover, then some other time cuz he has no money now, also I believe if you buy everything from him in the geno route, and then rob him, you get all the G you spent basically letting you have all of Mo's stuff for free.
@@nothingboie7329 I figured as much, I just felt it was completely unnecessary, especially since he's the only person you can even spend your money buying from
@@MergWhen you go up using the "floor is lava" robot after opening the big pipe-like gates, to your left before reaching your final destination, go up instead of left. I hope I explained that well, I'm bad at giving directions XD
Interesting how Martlet is like a combination of Sans and Papyrus in Undertale Yellow, in terms of her role in the game. The way they wrote her to incorporate traits of both Sans and Papyrus, while still letting her be her own character, is kind of brilliant.
This route with the final boss is one of the big reasons Martlet is my favorite character in this whole game. Like her death was BRUTAL and her boss fight was absolute HELL they needed to add endure AND a checkpoint at phase two. Like she’s insane but is also so adorable
An interesting thing I noticed is that in the neutral run when you are at the halfway point of the Flowey fight and reach the snowdin fakeout Martlet melts there too. I wonder if it's just a coincidence, or if Flowey actually knew how she would die if she took the determination. Either way it's a clever bit of foreshadowing.
Now that you mention that it does actually make sense if Flowey was like “Hey this is what would’ve happened to her if you kept killing by the way. Nothing would have changed…” just to screw with clover and also foreshadow her demise in genocide. Like it’s super messed up but it’d makes sense
@@MegaMelodic oh. That's what the genocide version of axis' battle theme is called and some commented the exact same joke there. I guess you just had the same idea.
In Undertale Yellow's Pacifist ending, you help lay the groundwork for the main Undertale game, making sure Clover's sacrifice means something. In the Neutral ending, you get a glimpse of just how truly powerful Flowey was before Frisk fell down, even without the six souls. In the Genocide run, you take things completely off the rails, and deviate the timeline entirely, making for a possibly terrifying future for the underground- Flowey's dead, Asgore's been killed leaving the underground leaderless, Toriel has no idea the human she tried help has gone on to leave the underground in a worse state than before, and now with the souls gone, monster kind will be even less than willing to accept mercy should Frisk fall down later... 56:30 Also, I really love this part. In Undertale's genocide run, Flowey tries to bargain for his life by appealing to you, lying he can be useful, and getting all tear-eyed. But here? Flowey knows you don't need him anymore, and he's sure not getting out alive, so in his last few moments, he tries to to spit as much venomous words at you as possible to try and demoralize you, calling you the worst- still laughing as you kill him- believing he got the last laugh. Man, those several years of Undertale Yellow being in development truly paid off, as this is one of the best Undertale fan-games to date.
Well, Undyne would probably take over (after all that's what she do in Undertale if you kill Toriel, or if monsters don't like her humans policies and revolt against her). And we all know how much she doesn't like humans to begin with. "Flowey tries to bargain for his life by appealing to you, lying he can be useful, and getting all tear-eyed." He's also talking to his best friend. And the idea of being killed by Chara scare him way more than being killed by Clover (or even Frisk, he doesn't care if we kill him in UT neutral route)
Flowey could have even gone through with his plan if he didn't start complaining. In every other ending Flowey talks about how there must be some way to get Clover to do what he wants, and the one ending where Clover successfully kills Asgore like Flowey wanted he blows it. Flowey may often call you an idiot but he's not much smart either.
He simply couldn't handle being brushed off so much and just couldn't keep his mouth shut unlike Clover. Imagine if Flowey actually just kept quiet the whole time and when he sees Clover beat Marlet he'd think "Dang... This isn't perfect but I sure as hell am not wasting this opportunity." Until the souls get free by Clover but seeing as how he would have seen Clover one shot Asgore he'd probably let it slide and just be patient for the next human since he'd probably be able to convince Clover to let him have Asgore's soul. @@TheCubifyer
@@TheCubifyer This ending make Flowey a total idiot. Like, he couldn't even find the souls despite them being simply hidden beneath the ground. Even Clover found them. But Flowey couldn't even manage to find them despite him having infinite tries...? That's kinda bs.
Apparently it's because Flowey isn't strong enough to beat Asgore I think you can make that connection through the Flawed Pacifist run? Like it doesn't matter how many times you can Save and Load when the enemy is quite literally impossible to beat, and Asgore is that unbeatable (allegedly) And... I guess you NEED to beat Asgore to get access to the souls?
If you didn't notice, Flowey DID try to run - you simply reloaded the save when Flowey did try to run away, effectively trapping Flowey. Also, if you did try going to the pacifist ending area, Clover'll just say "(* There he is.)" if I recall correctly, so you didn't miss out on much text by missing that.
@@Maannnn... Flowey told you about Asgore very early on in Geno... at least in Game Over text, anyway, plus you see a castle in the distance in said area, which I'd assume is where Asgore's throne room belongs, so it definitely has to be Asgore that Clover is referring to.
I mean, the timeline lines more up to her being an aunt or big sister, Yellow collapsed the timeline a lot and takes place like a year before Undertale. Berdly would be equal age to Monster Kid, so would already be born, and Martlet clearly doesn't have a child. I know it won't happen, but I hope Deltarune has Berdly off-handedly mention an Aunt Martlet in a later chapter. 😆
@@Kiwi19865 Same, it's such an amazing and faithful fan game, the best I've seen. The caveat for why it won't be canon is lore doesn't add up; which makes sense, Yellow started development far before we understood Undertale's lore as well as we do now. Flowey shouldn't exist /quite/ yet cause Asgore implies in his fight that all the humans could save and load by themselves, and IIRC Toby confirmed this in the localization book, as well as the fact that Asgore killed all the other humans himself.
I love how the genocide route is not a chara possession or whatever. It truly is all clover's fault, he is completely aware and responsible for his actions. It truly is all about his warped sense of justice pushing him to commit atrocities. I love how the developer's properly made "justice" the main theme. In Undertale, the main theme was kindness, it was all about the importance of kindness and forgiveness. How being kind can allow us to grow, and how violence and aggression is never the answer to our problems, and how violence only hurts our relationships with others and distances us from the world. I love how undertale yellow properly distinguishes itself from undertale, by instead exploring the idea of justice, instead of just focusing on kindness. This game shows the two sides of humanity's idea of "justice". On one hand, justice can be beautiful, it can give proper peace to those that suffered. In the pacifist route, clover's strong and noble sense of justice allows him to realize that the one's who have truly suffered have been the monster's all along, and how he has misjudged humanity. His sense of justice allows him to take the humble decision to sacrifice himself. Even if it wasn't the sense decision, and even if it wasn't really the true solution to the problem, he at least acted on a noble sense of justice. It wasn't necessarily the best decision, but it was justice, and that's what clover cares about. On the other hand, justice can be reckless and destructive. Throughout the genocide route, clover is acting on his warped sense of justice. In his mind, all of monsterkind deserves to pay for what they did to those 5 children's. His warped sense of justice convinces him that an entire race needs to be wiped off the face of the earth, instead of considering that each monster is an individual, and that not everyone is responsible for the actions of a few. Even flowey mentions it, clover is wasting his time instead of focusing on asgore, he really is just killing all those monsters to satisfy some sadistic sense of justice. It's easy to view as clover as ignorant and insane during the genocide route. But, think about, how often do we fall prey to the same fallacy? How often have you misjudged an entire group of people based on the actions of a few? It's so easy to generalize, we all do it, without even thinking about it. Clover's as human as you, with all his flaws. If you were pushed by the same circumstances, you might do the same. This is why it's important to have a strong sense of justice, in order to judge our situations objectively and not let our emotions get the best of us. I would love to see fangames explore each all the other souls and their attributes, and explore the good and bad sides of them. How patience can be good and wonderful, but can sometimes be pushed too far and turn into inaction or passiveness. How bravery is important, but sometimes self-destructive and impulsive when pushed too far. How perseverance is commendable, but how it's also important to sometimes back down and recognize when a challenge is just too big. A portrait of the full rainbow of the human identity, with all it's flaws and strengths.
1) Chara doesnt possess anyone, Clover genocide is clover fault, so frisk genocide is frisk fault, not chara. There are a lot of videos and posts about that, so not gonna explain it. 2) UTY has a theme of justice, but not reg UT. Kindness is the theme of Undertale Green, Which also has a demo, and ig it will be done eventually (unless if the devs cancelled, which i find very unlikely). Reg undertale has the theme of determination, which says a lot "stay determined" or "fills with determination"
You kinda missed one point. Clover were killing only monsters that attacked (initiated fight) first - and only exception I remember were RG member (which is basically military)
@@bl4me_me Thanks for clarifying that. I guess the idea of chara possesing frisk is something I've just seen in a lot of fan conent, specially things about the sans fight. If that's not the case, then what pushes Kris to kill everyone in the underground then? Also, just to mention, while it is true that undertale has a theme of determination, the thing that really struck with me the most were its themes of forgiveness and kindness. After finishing undertale, I didn't really leave with the feeling of "I gotta be more determined..." Instead, I left with the feeling of "damn, I gotta be nicer to people". It cemented the idea that violence and revenge are never the answer, and that little idea has become a core part of my life philosophy since then. So yeah, even though the main theme is determination, I would say the main emotional focus is that idea of forgiveness and kindness.
@@bl4me_me "1)" is slightly incorrect. Frisk is made explicitly different from the player at the end of the pacifist route. They could be the one who is auto attacking during the Sans and Asgore genocide route but idk, that's probably Chara. Chara is also implied to be talking to the player at the end of the genocide route but that's not confirmed. Therefore, Clover is complicit and even assisting in furthering the UTY genocide route while Frisk is most likely just a puppet in UT's genocide route. also yeah i'd argue UNDERTALE's main theme is about, well, determination, as in every route it's always about the will to keep going, it just takes a path down murderous rampage or wanting to see the best outcome for everyone
@@fluboxer Clover still hunts down every single monster in every room in order to do genocide, which is in fact very abnormal. If clover were to run straight through the underground like a normal person, they would get neutral.
Shooting them 8 bullets from my six-shooter, yeehaw! (I know, Clover probably did some wild reloading, and I mean reloading bullets not save files, bc if he did that Flowey would revert back too wouldn't he? lol)
Congrats on beating Genocide. Martlet's fight used to be much harder, the attacks were harder, I don't believe there was a checkpoint for her fight (so you had to sit through the cutscene everytime) & endure did nothing in phase 2. So she had to be nerfed. Also there is one alternate ending you can get if you kill Ceroba in pacifist, probably not worth a whole video on it's own, but if you do a secrets video or something you could probably fit it into that.
There's two checkpoints for Martlet before the update, one after dying in the first half of the fight (Martlet with Armor) which just skips the animation and goes straight to Martlet cry while the other skips the memory cutscenes after you take away her armor and choose retry However if at any point you picked up continue then you'd restart it completely, even the dialogue before that from Clover and make both animations appear. They are pretty fast to skip though but still
I beat her in 1.0, the checkpoint was already there. I didn't notice the attacks being particularly different although admittedly I didn't watch the whole fight in the video. Endure definitely makes the fight easier but it's balanced a bit because you have to survive more attacks since you give up on 40~60 damage per turn
yeah i don't even know where to begin describing this episode lol. Clover gaining like 7 levels of LOVE against Axis was insane, I personally think it's because he just got so unbelievably mad that he just wanted Axis gone and so he obliterated him. Now Martlet... what a fight. I find this Genocide route to be way more heart wrenching than I do for normal Undertale, so even if I had the heart to do this route I'm not sure if I'd be able to win, so congrats Merg! That death was absolutely brutal tho she didn't deserve that :( Flowey actually DID try and run, but Clover wanted him gone, and that's why he resorted to saying that before he died. Props to Flowey though for managing to die laughing like that after witnessing the whole Zenith Martlet fight. Thanks for covering these 3 routes Merg, there's actually a 4th one too, but I'm pretty sure a bunch of comments have already been made about it. Oh boy this was one of my longer comments, sorry bout that, love your content Merg :) i would've found it equally hilarious and so sad if Clover killed everyone just for Asgore to destroy him at the end lol
When I played genocide route myself and started sharing screen at the boss battle to my friend who hasn't played this fangame, he just said "Berdly's mom got angry".
If you were curious on why you gain so much LV at the last part of the axis fight, here's why: LV is defined as how easy it is for you to kill someone. This is why your LV goes up as you kill monsters. It's also why this happens when you fight Axis. They just admitted they killed a human. Which makes it extremely easy for Clover to kill Axis. Great attention to detail from the developers. Also yes I got this from a comment of one of Shayys videos. Edit: Also, martlet injects herself with determination. This why she went into the true lab telling herself that humans were the bad guy.
@@sheogorath6834 in the judgement hall during neutral routes, sans describes it as how easy you can come to harm others. The reason it go's up with execution points is because, as sans says, the more you kill, the easier it is to kill others. LV doesn't only have to go up with exp. That's just one simpler way it happens. But when your filled with so much hatred, you can bring yourself to harm others very easily.
@@brandonharv1223 He litterally says in the same judgement that exp is what make you gain LV. " sans describes it as how easy you can come to harm others." Yeah, the more you kill. " LV doesn't only have to go up with exp." Nothing suggest that LV can go up without exp. And Sans' dialogues clearly implies that you need exp to gain LV.
I think I actually understand why the genocide path is so different from what you might expect a fanmade prequel to undertale to be, because in undertale nobody considers it to be the canon route the player takes and therefore the timeline doesn't really exist, and therefore it may technically be consider non-canon, so the ending makes sense for clover to do what they did. Edit: I was gonna connect the genocide route here to undertale but I realized It didn't hold water, so I still hope merg does the alternative pacifist ending, it would be a great opportunity for him wrap up this series on a higher note, and get some of those other side quests he missed done.
Toby fox said that whatever you did in your playthrough is canon, so if you did geno then it canonically happened, if you didnt do geno then it isnt canon, it just depends on what you did, the UTY cant just make your undertale geno route unhappen, tho that doesnt make sense anyways Edit: btw the player is US, wdym that nobody considers it to be the canon route the player takes? why would people consider what other people did and say it didnt happen? anyways if i come off as rude ignore it
@@mariotheundying The Genocide route in Yellow is non-canon to Undertale, while the Pacifist/Aborted Pacifist Routes are. Genocide in Yellow is quite literally breaking out of an endless cycle of death that Flowey forced you into and doing your own thing.
@@NokoTheTaco I still feel it would've been better to have both conclusions end with clover dying. That sense of inevitability is much cooler. It makes it feel like all of that did happen before undertale. Connecting both endings to undertale would've been perfect. Missed opportunity, it really is a shame.
Clover on their way to destroy all traces of Chujin's legacy: his wife is dead, his most advanced robot destroyed, and his apprentice uses his serum as a last ditch effort at stopping someone who massacred a chunk of monsterkind's population.
And this time the serum actually works and martlet becomes the pinnacle of monsterkind, the one Chujin always wanted to achieve so everyone could become a boss monster. What a wicked sense of irony for fate to do this when most of monsterkind is already dead and she will soon follow anyways
In the aftermath of the vengeance ending Toriel would try to take over and be overthrown by Undyne, establishing a totalitarian regime. She’d likely promote one of the dogs to head of the Royal Guard and Martlet would likely be revered as a hero and used for a lot of propaganda. With a sizable chunk of the Underground dead, Undyne would need to figure out how to get the economy back on track and also how to be a good leader. She’d likely recruit Alphys as some sort of Royal advisor or something which… I don’t see going well. Alphys would fold like a wet noodle any time Undyne would push back on any of her suggestions. By the time Frisk falls, the Underground will likely be struggling economically but still be very vehemently anti human. It won’t be quite as bad as Horrortale since Clover never decimated areas like CORE or Hotland. Undyne might find out about the Amalgamates which would lead to a very interesting confrontation. Mettaton’s TV shows would likely be at least partially rebranded into propaganda. Papyrus might finally be allowed to join the Royal Guard since Undyne would have likely gone at least a little off the deep end (and the Royal Guard needs more power. With Martlet dead and Undyne as Queen, the strongest known members of the guard are RG01 and RG02). Undyne would need his strength. Sans likely remains apathetic But maybe joins the Royal guard or remains a Century to just to protect his brother. Frisk should still be able to Save and Load but they’ll almost certainly have to kill a lot of monsters their first go around. Toriel would be very clingy and even harder to get past than normal, and the monsters would all try very hard to kill Frisk. Hell, maybe Frisk would just stay with Toriel. Then Frisk falls and Toriel is desperate to keep them with her to prevent both her being ridiculed more and another possible mass murderer to get out there but mainly to keep them safe from the revenge hungry Undyne who wants just one soul for now to go to the surface and kill Clover as revenge Assuming they push forward, Snowdin would likely be harder than normal with more aggressive monsters. Waterfall might actually be easier because even though monsters would be more aggressive, Undyne would be in the castle. Of course there’s also the possibility of Undyne just leaving the castle and hunting you down as soon as she learns about you. I'd imagine that sans wouldn't make his promise, and papyrus might end up as part of the royal guard (Due to both undyne and Martlets positions being open). Undyne might not have time to get to know papyrus as well due to being queen? I'd imagine some of Chujin's ideas would be checked out too, so new models of axis(or Axis inspired drones) and maybe some investigation into the boss monster serum? The feisty four are alive, and might play a role in the story, potentially as a waterfall boss? A pacifist run would be… really difficult and probably entail Frisk living as a peaceful fugitive in the Underground for years before the monsters come to terms with the fact that Frisk isn’t as bad as Clover. Ironically Frisk would probably have to live in the areas Clover wiped out since that’s where there wouldn’t be any monsters to threaten them. But eventually I’m sure Frisk could make peace. With no other Souls though… Frisk probably just lives in the Underground until they die of old age and give up their Soul to Undyne to be used to break the barrier. And who knows what happens from there? As a side note, if Chara ever wakes up or if Frisk does Genocide, Chara will be fucking *furious* to learn some human killed their best friend. Geno Frisk in this timeline would tear the Underground to shreds even more aggressively than normal (since there’s a much stronger self defense argument) and then probably hold off on wiping out humanity until they get the pleasure of killing Clover with their own hands. And since it took Clover until LV 20 to match a LV1 Frisk’s Determination? I honestly feel bad for what Chara and Frisk will put Clover through before they finally destroy the world.(www.reddit.com/r/UndertaleYellow/comments/1abhobf/discussion_about_the_aftermath_of_the_vengeance/) in contrast to this in the pacifist ending true Justice ending It really does make clovers character more compelling, and it makes Pacifist ending so much more bittersweet, knowing that despite all the horrifying things Clover has been through, clover still chose to be kind, befriend monsters along the way and ultimately give up life for the future of monsterkind. Undertale Yellow really deserves all the love it's getting. It's an incredible game.m.th-cam.com/video/woGZRvYFA2g/w-d-xo.html
1:04:18 I dunno which I love more, the fact that you were genuinley more distraught from the flowers dying than Asgore, or that you call all the yellow flowers "Flowy's" lmao
Frisk: - falls in the underground by tripping over - doesn't have any special abilities -does the genocide route for fun -gets killed by chara Chad clover: -dives into the underground by his own will -can do a big shot -can do a kame hame ha -can mess with game files -does the genocide route to bring justice and revenge for the fallen humans -succeeds -leaves
it ıs shown that In the pacifist route that frısk can persist after death, they gained powers in the asriel fight, their endure option is the "but it refused'
the Zenith Martlet death is brutal. literally melting away as they beg for help from the human that's murdered hundreds of their kind. wait this got likes and a heart?!
to be fair clover had like the best reason to genoside. Frisk just does it because they can but clover did it to free and take back home the human souls that the monsters killed. Even if innocent monsters had to die and many characters I love died, I still found the genoside run of undertale yellow awesome!
If Undertale green ever comes out it would be mostly the same story with Cody, he doesnt see any reasonable way to free the monsters and let them live on the surface, so he does the next kindest thing in his eyes and murders them all so they don't have to live down there.
I remember beating giga Berdly mom for the first time, when the second phase didn't have any healing... I will never forget that moment. After 3 hours of pure pain I was literally crying and smiling at the same time while everybody was asleep because it's almost 1AM and I accidentally woke my mom up, so now she thinks pixelated games are designed to make people crazy "like the joker" in her words... Man that was wild
Literally. The best I got was going into second phase with gun powder. Almost won a million times. Then the update came out and beat it first try. I dunno how to feel about it
Flowey's insane speech is one of my favorite parts of this route and the game in general, he knows undertale better than anyone, he knows literally nothing clover did mattered or ever will, their fate is literally set in stone by canon, it's satisfying but might as well have been a dream by just how much it will be invalidated
Undertale: *makes us afraid of our actions and our decisions, we're filled with regret, not determination* Undertale Yellow: *makes us depressed and shows the impact of our decisions way more, everyone is filled with regret, not justice or determination* I like both, but UTY.... It's impact and depression... The way Clover doesn't hold back at any moment... Doesn't give a f##k about their existence or anyone's else... I think that i have an excuse for loving Ceroba more than just a character from a videogame.
it's so so nice to see this game come out after all of these years. i watched your demo playthrough of this game all the way back then, and followed the development ever since. peak undertale fangame, in my opinion.
"WAY harder than sans" I didn't know a prequel can be this evil I guess. I mean, just wait until he no-hits every final boss of this one. today we have top 5 undertale genocide = shows that I'm out of comments.
@@zanithony1276Yeah best way to describe sans is to memorize his attacks since they are too basic even in his second phase its either "Blue bone jump" or "Gaster blaster spam" I never understood sans hype tbh people can like it its their decision i just don't get it.
Flowey actually told the truth. Most people didn't understand this, though. "You're already dead," Flowey said to Clover. Flowey knows undertale game. No matter what ending we make, Clover will be dead in the Undertale game. That's why flowey laughed at us. Meanwhile... Rest in peace martlet. ❤
i was too excited and went ahead and watched the full route before you uploaded. but i have no regrets coming back and watching you play it. i genuinely adore your voices for the characters and your reactions. and just thanks for the good vibes man!
Such a great fangame! The original undertale is a big inspiration for me as i want to make games in the future, I'm even learning now. So, seeing this fangame is veey inspiring as well and hope to see more games like undertale and undertale yellow! Edit: 7:06 best merg quote ever. Edit2: Personally i like that Clover doesn't lose to asgore, sinc they do in the flawed pacifist ending (where you kill ceroba, you might want to take a look but you already played the game 3 times) and also because it makes it so that Clover can survive but at the cost of everyone on their journey and there is no other way.
When this fan game was released after so many years, I was like, holy crap merg is going to make a video about this, so I just sat and waited and soon enough, bam. Also great vid.
clover's idealogy to killing is not for the sake of mindless slaughter but for the JUSTICE of humanity but it's like a critically corrupted form of it. clover seeks vengeance for humanity for the 5 lost children and he gets enraged when he finds out they have passed away which explains the LV increasing in the battle with Axis, this is why i love genocides ending, it makes complete sense why it would work because clover consumes the boss monster's soul plus the help of the 5 remaining souls.
I like to think that in either routes, the player helps guide Clover to two lines of thought- justice and vengeance. Through acts of mercy, clover realizes all the pain the monsters suffered. In the genocide, clovers darkest desires are fulfilled, to kill all monsters and avenge the fallen humans. Both are the same person, I wouldn’t say the pacifist or genocide is the “true” Clover. Just them being guided down different paths.
Actully stats wise clover is much stronger than frisk for example lv1 frisk stats are 0 DEF and 0 ATT(not counting the wepone) and lv1 clover stats are 10 DEF and 10 ATT frisk is stronger cause they have more dt also undertale character stats are kinda not true because the stats dont make sense if you want actully kinda right stats check out undertale yellow and red mod i think they calculated the actully stats althought dont quote me on that
1:25 you've officially gone mad with power 😭 5:45 i love that you so serenely went "yeah, sure" as if he was asking you permission to do it by axis my phone crashed and i only had those two timestamps saved. i'm not in the mood for this today 😔 13:42 nvm i just said to myself "yikes" in the same time as you did and i found it so funny my day is now fixed also the return of deep voiced clover lmfao 19:44 "pant pant :)" i can't believe im only 20 minutes in and you're already at the final boss, there's still so much left of the video- 36:13 is this a good moment to mention that there is this running gad on twitter that chujin is a ben 10 fan? 38:54 it had to ben ten times worse 39:11 somehow martlet managed to make this so much worse, us knowing the beef he's got with the royal scientist martlet's death scene is... something truly 56:22 have i ever mentioned how funny i found the way you voice the laughter? lol 1:03:32 why are you so eager for asgore to beat you up- 1:04:05 oof this is the second time the tragic and heroic death of a bird made my respect for that bird go from 1 to 100. a very intense ending that's for sure. aaaaa, i'm so glad to finally be watching this, i've been dying to watch this literally since the previous part, but sadly my winter break ended this week and now we're wrapping up the semester. i thought finals were hectic in highschool but oh god is this a whole different level- i'm just glad i could take an hour off my day to watch this, thank you for giving me an excuse/a place to chill for at least a while!
There’s a secret where you start the game and wait 5 minutes when u drop down into the hole when you pull the lever toriel saves u with a rope and flowey reloads the file as he dose not like that ending.
13:42 Bookmark for Axis’ death Theory: I think Axis’ death is meant to mirror the integrity soul’s death when Axis blasted her to death, since we know a vague idea of how she looked when she died from a fun event for the pillars where it shows her body stretched out and her face gone (we don't know how her blown off face actually looks like cuz that chunk of the pillar fell off). Now look at Axis, face is complelety gone and split in two. Sorry that I couldnt explain it better but that's the best I can do, TLDR: Axis’ corpse mirrors the integrity soul’s corpse when he blasted her face (it's karmic in a gruesome sense) Anyways enjoy seeing a little girl in a tutu with a massive bleeding hole where her face should be in your nightmares!
What a journey this game has been. It reminds me of the same feeling of when I discovered Undertale for the first time years ago. Glad Undertale got the fame it deserved over the years.
I hate you, I figured out about the meaning of hate. It's short for "I have been spoiled the entire game without any warnings for a spoiler". And yes, that happened to me.
I genuinely think that Alphys is a Penilla interested in science lol. The genocide ending was BRUTAL. Clover is literally a super saiyan in this fangame lol. The Martlet fight was insane! If the blue soul was still there, I wonder how the serum Chujin made from the blue soul worked. Maybe it took some of the power of the soul to make a serum. And for the serum Martlet used, it possibly could’ve been the bravery or patience soul used to make it. But I’m not sure. Anyways awesome video! Very cool Merg :)
There’s a neat detail on the encounter with Flowey that signifies that Clover is the one shooting Flowey and not anyone else/Flowey shooting himself. If you get the nail bullets for your gun, it shows the nail bullets shooting at Flowey instead of the Friendliness Pellets. this game has so many cool details!
This ending of this was so satisfying. Like disregarding the whole notion of genocide being bad for a sec, I was fully expecting Clover to get killed or stopped from leaving at the very end, and that didn't happen. Bro actually just left with the 5 souls, he accomplished his goal.
Hey Merg, there’s actually another ending in case you don’t know! It’s called “Flawed Pacifist”, and all you have to do is make it to the Pacifist Ceroba fight, and then at the end, instead of sparing her, honor her request to see her husband again. There’s extra cutscenes, extra dialogue, and actual gameplay after the fight instead of just a “Nope, you can’t play anymore. Uh uh. Goodbye.” from Flowey like you usually get.
Martlet's death in this route hits even harder than Neutral Undyne's :( And I'm actually surprised that Flowey lost the ability to load, I thought he would prevail at the end of the route. Great fangame, and GG
This brings up an interesting theory... Can any human, once they've gained enough LOVE, gain the power of RESET? And if so, would it be enough to take RESET from a LV 1 Frisk? Because Frisk just had enough Determination inherently (Because of the Red Soul) to take RESET from Flowey just by falling, yet for Clover, it took getting to LV 19. (As seen by them LOADING during the Martlet fight). Although I suppose the more important question is this; Can Clover at LV 20 have RESET priority over Frisk at LV 1?
As someone who's done the genocide route of UTY, I was fully expecting Merg to at least struggle a good chunk. Turns out I forgot that Merg has put up with far more insane bs in fan games, so good job showing your skill yet again, in the name of justice? No... Judgement
Martlet injected herself with integrity, it’s why her color theme turns blue, the box your soul enters when you are dodging attacks is blue, and your options are colored blue. The integrity soul was the soul that fell before justice, and axis killed them. When martlet injected herself with integrity, it has the same effect as injecting a monster with determination, they melt. Determination is faster, but it still occurs.
I think now it's a good time to mention this. Just like in Undertale, there are FUN value events in this game as well. Would be cool if you did a video on that but it's up to you.
12:52 hooooooly shit. That little leveling up, his Level of Violence increasing MASSIVELY and that is probably the coolest way I've ever seen the level up system used in undertale.
Sans is only easy now that everyone has it memorized, but when compared to playing it for the first time, I’d say Sans is still more difficult, especially after they made Marlet easier
hmm even still I'd call Sans easier, because of the fact his attacks can be memorized. None of his attacks 'aim' at you, so to speak, so muscle memory to avoid them will come naturally. And at the end of the day, the Sans fight is ultimately a platformer. Martlet here meanwhile, is designed around that finicky dodge mechanic. Many of her attacks dynamically aim for your soul, meaning no explicitly correct movements for any given attack, you just have to wing it. And of course the fact that her fight is just straight bullet hell. Mess up the dodge even a little and woops, there goes a chunk of health. Eh I guess this is just my opinion, but frankly with my first attempt at Undertale genocide Undyne gave me more trouble than Sans ever did. Also maybe a little peeved by the fact I preferred to do the whole run over to get the gold bandanna specifically for Martlet rather than keep slamming my head against it.
@@dovahkat9635I agree too. Sans, while reasonably difficult, still has more dodging room and less about reaction time. Martlet’s claw attack requires quick reaction, and that’s not including all of the feathers/bullets running through the screen at any given moment, leaving less “safe” space for the player to go through. Martlets fight is definitely much more difficult. And just like you pointed out, martlets attacks actively aim for your heart and thus in any given run are going to change (some of her attacks are always the same, but not all of them), meanwhile with sans his attacks will be the same no matter what. Both are still very cool though!
With sans, the attacks are hard but simple and if you get hit you know it's your own fault. With Marlet, it feels like there is just tons of stuff thrown at one, memorizing is far harder
Huh, these are some interesting takes, maybe it’s partially because I wasn’t as good back then, but it only took me an hour to beat Marlet before they nerfed her, but I think I remember it taking me longer to beat Sans back when I first fought him… But I also think Undertale Yellow purposely tried to base the difficulty off of Undertale, Ceroba being Undyne the Undying difficulty, and Marlet being Sans difficulty
That big shot is way bigger than the ones in Deltarune. Clover craves justice more than Kris ever could. Then again, Deltarune hasn't fully released yet. Maybe later Toby can make a gag referencing this or something lol.
I actually originally tough that the genocide route was going to be the canon ending and because clover killed all the undertale yellow monsters they don't appear in normal Undertale
They just recently had an update which heavily nerfs Marlet, before the final shop was way less OP, and you didn’t have the Endure option on the 2nd faze, so you had to save like half your items for the 2nd faze before, it was brutal
If you mean because he didn't want to, neutral is right there But if you mean he didn't want to try her, then yeah we all would be Flowey in that situation lol
13:50 Fun fact: A fun value event in the game implies that that is the exact way the blue souled human died. Also you can you can use the G. Items to get a patch item that severely raises your attack and defense.
That point falls flat when you consider they were going to use those souls along with other 2 to erradicate humanity and the fact that even if Clover is a pacifist angel they end up dying, Asgore himself says in this ending that even if Clover was good he would have killed them anyways, and thats exactly what happens in Flawed Pacifist
1:05:18 Humans souls do can persist forever in fact, they are not fragile and can stay indefinitely, the souls flasks are only here to contain them so they dont go somewhere else (I think). You are probably confusing with the monster souls that actually are fragile and disappears quickly :)
You say Asgore should’ve killed clover and you would be right completely 💀 He has double Zenith Martlet’s stats while holding back against frisk. So in theory even 1 LV up from 19-20 shouldn’t have bridged such a massive gap.
35:05 oh man that little bit of no hit was so impressive! Seeing merg slash through zenith martlet while I spent days trying to beat her is insanely fun
I think the final Ceroba fight on pacifist is just her revealing her power since if Chujin was a boss monster it makes sense she is too (boss monsters are much stronger than normal monsters) Chujin didnt know until he was starting to do things to himself so it reasonable to think that Ceroba just has never known That with the fact that Geno Ceroba is much harder than pacifist is possible that she was holding back during the ending of pacifism due to not wanting to really hurt Clover She just didnt have her awakening since she didnt have the mask atm
imagine clover's parents' reaction to them just walking out of the underground with five souls
"hey kiddo, what did you do today?" "I committed mass genocide on a whole race..." "... we need to get you a therapist."
I mean... he's a kid that willingly jumped into the underground to find out what happened to the missing humans, I think that's pretty bold move that definitely needs therapy at that age

@@nothingboie7329 Why would Flowey know how determination works?
I’m just gonna explain the luv randomly leveling up during the axis fight. Basically, LV is how easy it is to hurt people (at least that’s how sans put it) so when axis admits that he killed one of the humans, it becomes easier for clover to bring himself to kill axis.
I feel like that moment was a bit inspired by Glitchtale.
LOVE=level of violence
Clover was pissed thats the explaination
Lv also can never go down once it goes up, this is how Clover is now, it also makes it harder for them to feel empathy or any other emotion really, I don't remember where this is from but gaining Love also physically hardens your soul, which explains the defense and hp increase, and also why Asgores trident breaks on contact with it, things harder than titanium now.
@@nothingboie7329 i dont think its said anywhere that it hardens your soul. thats probably a headcanon. sans only says that you distance yourself from your soul (i think)
What I don’t understand is why don’t the other robots give LV. If it’s level of violence the robots not being alive/having souls shouldn’t matter.
56:11 I love how Flowey tries to hide back in the ground but gets loaded back
Fun little detail you missed: In the Steamworks, you can find Mo in a northern section the lava area, and on the genocide route Clover will pull a gun on him in the middle of his sales pitch. I didn't have the heart to find out what the 'Rob' option did, so I let him go.
Honestly one of the worst moments in my opinion, given how Mo does nothing but help you even on this run
Spoilers if you want to rob Mo
He doesn't die, you literally do just rob him of all his g, and he leaves saying hes a goner, if not today from Clover, then some other time cuz he has no money now, also I believe if you buy everything from him in the geno route, and then rob him, you get all the G you spent basically letting you have all of Mo's stuff for free.

Interesting how Martlet is like a combination of Sans and Papyrus in Undertale Yellow, in terms of her role in the game. The way they wrote her to incorporate traits of both Sans and Papyrus, while still letting her be her own character, is kind of brilliant.
While ceroba is asriel and undyne
@@mishagaming1075Undyne is closer to Starlo imo
@@TorayNixI mean ceroba is undyne the undying in genocide and asriel in pacifist
@@mishagaming1075 oh yeah true
I feel like people easily forget in a single day how comparing characters make no sense.
This route with the final boss is one of the big reasons Martlet is my favorite character in this whole game. Like her death was BRUTAL and her boss fight was absolute HELL they needed to add endure AND a checkpoint at phase two. Like she’s insane but is also so adorable
An interesting thing I noticed is that in the neutral run when you are at the halfway point of the Flowey fight and reach the snowdin fakeout Martlet melts there too. I wonder if it's just a coincidence, or if Flowey actually knew how she would die if she took the determination. Either way it's a clever bit of foreshadowing.
Now that you mention that it does actually make sense if Flowey was like “Hey this is what would’ve happened to her if you kept killing by the way. Nothing would have changed…” just to screw with clover and also foreshadow her demise in genocide. Like it’s super messed up but it’d makes sense

Did you perhaps steal this from a comment under the "END_OF_THE_LINE" video?
@@ksawerx9277 the what video?
I understood that reference
@@MegaMelodic oh. That's what the genocide version of axis' battle theme is called and some commented the exact same joke there. I guess you just had the same idea.
In Undertale Yellow's Pacifist ending, you help lay the groundwork for the main Undertale game, making sure Clover's sacrifice means something.
In the Neutral ending, you get a glimpse of just how truly powerful Flowey was before Frisk fell down, even without the six souls.
In the Genocide run, you take things completely off the rails, and deviate the timeline entirely, making for a possibly terrifying future for the underground- Flowey's dead, Asgore's been killed leaving the underground leaderless, Toriel has no idea the human she tried help has gone on to leave the underground in a worse state than before, and now with the souls gone, monster kind will be even less than willing to accept mercy should Frisk fall down later...
56:30 Also, I really love this part. In Undertale's genocide run, Flowey tries to bargain for his life by appealing to you, lying he can be useful, and getting all tear-eyed. But here? Flowey knows you don't need him anymore, and he's sure not getting out alive, so in his last few moments, he tries to to spit as much venomous words at you as possible to try and demoralize you, calling you the worst- still laughing as you kill him- believing he got the last laugh.
Man, those several years of Undertale Yellow being in development truly paid off, as this is one of the best Undertale fan-games to date.
Well, Undyne would probably take over (after all that's what she do in Undertale if you kill Toriel, or if monsters don't like her humans policies and revolt against her). And we all know how much she doesn't like humans to begin with.
"Flowey tries to bargain for his life by appealing to you, lying he can be useful, and getting all tear-eyed." He's also talking to his best friend. And the idea of being killed by Chara scare him way more than being killed by Clover (or even Frisk, he doesn't care if we kill him in UT neutral route)
Flowey could have even gone through with his plan if he didn't start complaining. In every other ending Flowey talks about how there must be some way to get Clover to do what he wants, and the one ending where Clover successfully kills Asgore like Flowey wanted he blows it.
Flowey may often call you an idiot but he's not much smart either.
He simply couldn't handle being brushed off so much and just couldn't keep his mouth shut unlike Clover.
Imagine if Flowey actually just kept quiet the whole time and when he sees Clover beat Marlet he'd think "Dang... This isn't perfect but I sure as hell am not wasting this opportunity." Until the souls get free by Clover but seeing as how he would have seen Clover one shot Asgore he'd probably let it slide and just be patient for the next human since he'd probably be able to convince Clover to let him have Asgore's soul.
@@TheCubifyer
@@TheCubifyer This ending make Flowey a total idiot. Like, he couldn't even find the souls despite them being simply hidden beneath the ground. Even Clover found them.
But Flowey couldn't even manage to find them despite him having infinite tries...? That's kinda bs.
Apparently it's because Flowey isn't strong enough to beat Asgore
I think you can make that connection through the Flawed Pacifist run?
Like it doesn't matter how many times you can Save and Load when the enemy is quite literally impossible to beat, and Asgore is that unbeatable (allegedly)
And... I guess you NEED to beat Asgore to get access to the souls?
If you didn't notice, Flowey DID try to run - you simply reloaded the save when Flowey did try to run away, effectively trapping Flowey.
Also, if you did try going to the pacifist ending area, Clover'll just say "(* There he is.)" if I recall correctly, so you didn't miss out on much text by missing that.
What was clover thinking about? Who is "he"?
@@Maannnn... Flowey told you about Asgore very early on in Geno... at least in Game Over text, anyway, plus you see a castle in the distance in said area, which I'd assume is where Asgore's throne room belongs, so it definitely has to be Asgore that Clover is referring to.

If you managed to kill Martlet and if she is Berdlys mother, then you've made him an orphan.
I mean, the timeline lines more up to her being an aunt or big sister, Yellow collapsed the timeline a lot and takes place like a year before Undertale. Berdly would be equal age to Monster Kid, so would already be born, and Martlet clearly doesn't have a child.
I know it won't happen, but I hope Deltarune has Berdly off-handedly mention an Aunt Martlet in a later chapter. 😆

Flowey shouldn't exist /quite/ yet cause Asgore implies in his fight that all the humans could save and load by themselves, and IIRC Toby confirmed this in the localization book, as well as the fact that Asgore killed all the other humans himself.

Gotta give it to Axis for single handedly helping Clover raise their level of violence
I love how the genocide route is not a chara possession or whatever. It truly is all clover's fault, he is completely aware and responsible for his actions. It truly is all about his warped sense of justice pushing him to commit atrocities.
I love how the developer's properly made "justice" the main theme. In Undertale, the main theme was kindness, it was all about the importance of kindness and forgiveness. How being kind can allow us to grow, and how violence and aggression is never the answer to our problems, and how violence only hurts our relationships with others and distances us from the world.
I love how undertale yellow properly distinguishes itself from undertale, by instead exploring the idea of justice, instead of just focusing on kindness.
This game shows the two sides of humanity's idea of "justice". On one hand, justice can be beautiful, it can give proper peace to those that suffered. In the pacifist route, clover's strong and noble sense of justice allows him to realize that the one's who have truly suffered have been the monster's all along, and how he has misjudged humanity. His sense of justice allows him to take the humble decision to sacrifice himself. Even if it wasn't the sense decision, and even if it wasn't really the true solution to the problem, he at least acted on a noble sense of justice. It wasn't necessarily the best decision, but it was justice, and that's what clover cares about.
On the other hand, justice can be reckless and destructive. Throughout the genocide route, clover is acting on his warped sense of justice. In his mind, all of monsterkind deserves to pay for what they did to those 5 children's. His warped sense of justice convinces him that an entire race needs to be wiped off the face of the earth, instead of considering that each monster is an individual, and that not everyone is responsible for the actions of a few. Even flowey mentions it, clover is wasting his time instead of focusing on asgore, he really is just killing all those monsters to satisfy some sadistic sense of justice.
It's easy to view as clover as ignorant and insane during the genocide route. But, think about, how often do we fall prey to the same fallacy? How often have you misjudged an entire group of people based on the actions of a few? It's so easy to generalize, we all do it, without even thinking about it. Clover's as human as you, with all his flaws. If you were pushed by the same circumstances, you might do the same. This is why it's important to have a strong sense of justice, in order to judge our situations objectively and not let our emotions get the best of us.
I would love to see fangames explore each all the other souls and their attributes, and explore the good and bad sides of them.
How patience can be good and wonderful, but can sometimes be pushed too far and turn into inaction or passiveness.
How bravery is important, but sometimes self-destructive and impulsive when pushed too far.
How perseverance is commendable, but how it's also important to sometimes back down and recognize when a challenge is just too big.
A portrait of the full rainbow of the human identity, with all it's flaws and strengths.
1) Chara doesnt possess anyone, Clover genocide is clover fault, so frisk genocide is frisk fault, not chara. There are a lot of videos and posts about that, so not gonna explain it.
2) UTY has a theme of justice, but not reg UT. Kindness is the theme of Undertale Green, Which also has a demo, and ig it will be done eventually (unless if the devs cancelled, which i find very unlikely). Reg undertale has the theme of determination, which says a lot "stay determined" or "fills with determination"
You kinda missed one point. Clover were killing only monsters that attacked (initiated fight) first - and only exception I remember were RG member (which is basically military)
@@bl4me_me Thanks for clarifying that. I guess the idea of chara possesing frisk is something I've just seen in a lot of fan conent, specially things about the sans fight. If that's not the case, then what pushes Kris to kill everyone in the underground then?
Also, just to mention, while it is true that undertale has a theme of determination, the thing that really struck with me the most were its themes of forgiveness and kindness. After finishing undertale, I didn't really leave with the feeling of "I gotta be more determined..."
Instead, I left with the feeling of "damn, I gotta be nicer to people". It cemented the idea that violence and revenge are never the answer, and that little idea has become a core part of my life philosophy since then. So yeah, even though the main theme is determination, I would say the main emotional focus is that idea of forgiveness and kindness.
@@bl4me_me "1)" is slightly incorrect. Frisk is made explicitly different from the player at the end of the pacifist route. They could be the one who is auto attacking during the Sans and Asgore genocide route but idk, that's probably Chara. Chara is also implied to be talking to the player at the end of the genocide route but that's not confirmed.
Therefore, Clover is complicit and even assisting in furthering the UTY genocide route while Frisk is most likely just a puppet in UT's genocide route.
also yeah i'd argue UNDERTALE's main theme is about, well, determination, as in every route it's always about the will to keep going, it just takes a path down murderous rampage or wanting to see the best outcome for everyone

Congrats on beating Genocide. Martlet's fight used to be much harder, the attacks were harder, I don't believe there was a checkpoint for her fight (so you had to sit through the cutscene everytime) & endure did nothing in phase 2. So she had to be nerfed.
Also there is one alternate ending you can get if you kill Ceroba in pacifist, probably not worth a whole video on it's own, but if you do a secrets video or something you could probably fit it into that.
There's two checkpoints for Martlet before the update, one after dying in the first half of the fight (Martlet with Armor) which just skips the animation and goes straight to Martlet cry while the other skips the memory cutscenes after you take away her armor and choose retry
However if at any point you picked up continue then you'd restart it completely, even the dialogue before that from Clover and make both animations appear. They are pretty fast to skip though but still
I beat her in 1.0, the checkpoint was already there. I didn't notice the attacks being particularly different although admittedly I didn't watch the whole fight in the video. Endure definitely makes the fight easier but it's balanced a bit because you have to survive more attacks since you give up on 40~60 damage per turn

If you were curious on why you gain so much LV at the last part of the axis fight, here's why:
LV is defined as how easy it is for you to kill someone. This is why your LV goes up as you kill monsters. It's also why this happens when you fight Axis. They just admitted they killed a human. Which makes it extremely easy for Clover to kill Axis.
Great attention to detail from the developers. Also yes I got this from a comment of one of Shayys videos.
Edit: Also, martlet injects herself with determination. This why she went into the true lab telling herself that humans were the bad guy.
LV goes up when you gain enough exp (which litterally means execution points). It doesn't just go up for no reason.
@@sheogorath6834 in the judgement hall during neutral routes, sans describes it as how easy you can come to harm others. The reason it go's up with execution points is because, as sans says, the more you kill, the easier it is to kill others. LV doesn't only have to go up with exp. That's just one simpler way it happens. But when your filled with so much hatred, you can bring yourself to harm others very easily.
@@brandonharv1223 He litterally says in the same judgement that exp is what make you gain LV.
" sans describes it as how easy you can come to harm others." Yeah, the more you kill.
" LV doesn't only have to go up with exp." Nothing suggest that LV can go up without exp. And Sans' dialogues clearly implies that you need exp to gain LV.
@@sheogorath6834Maybe the Soul of Judgement is an exception
@@VeryRGOTI Litterally nothing suggest that. (And if it was really the case, that would be another thing that came out of nowhere in this run...)
I think I actually understand why the genocide path is so different from what you might expect a fanmade prequel to undertale to be, because in undertale nobody considers it to be the canon route the player takes and therefore the timeline doesn't really exist, and therefore it may technically be consider non-canon, so the ending makes sense for clover to do what they did.
Edit: I was gonna connect the genocide route here to undertale but I realized It didn't hold water, so I still hope merg does the alternative pacifist ending, it would be a great opportunity for him wrap up this series on a higher note, and get some of those other side quests he missed done.
Toby fox said that whatever you did in your playthrough is canon, so if you did geno then it canonically happened, if you didnt do geno then it isnt canon, it just depends on what you did, the UTY cant just make your undertale geno route unhappen, tho that doesnt make sense anyways
Edit: btw the player is US, wdym that nobody considers it to be the canon route the player takes? why would people consider what other people did and say it didnt happen? anyways if i come off as rude ignore it
@@mariotheundyingWhat he said but if I come off as rude then keep yourself safe man
@@mariotheundying The Genocide route in Yellow is non-canon to Undertale, while the Pacifist/Aborted Pacifist Routes are. Genocide in Yellow is quite literally breaking out of an endless cycle of death that Flowey forced you into and doing your own thing.
@@NokoTheTaco I still feel it would've been better to have both conclusions end with clover dying. That sense of inevitability is much cooler. It makes it feel like all of that did happen before undertale. Connecting both endings to undertale would've been perfect. Missed opportunity, it really is a shame.
@@NokoTheTaco I'm talking about the part of the comment that says "because in undertale nobody considers it to be the canon route", "it" being "geno"
53:05 yes, the Health bar on this fight was the same as the bar you depleted by shooting at her
Clover on their way to destroy all traces of Chujin's legacy: his wife is dead, his most advanced robot destroyed, and his apprentice uses his serum as a last ditch effort at stopping someone who massacred a chunk of monsterkind's population.
And this time the serum actually works and martlet becomes the pinnacle of monsterkind, the one Chujin always wanted to achieve so everyone could become a boss monster. What a wicked sense of irony for fate to do this when most of monsterkind is already dead and she will soon follow anyways
In the aftermath of the vengeance ending Toriel would try to take over and be overthrown by Undyne, establishing a totalitarian regime. She’d likely promote one of the dogs to head of the Royal Guard and Martlet would likely be revered as a hero and used for a lot of propaganda. With a sizable chunk of the Underground dead, Undyne would need to figure out how to get the economy back on track and also how to be a good leader. She’d likely recruit Alphys as some sort of Royal advisor or something which… I don’t see going well. Alphys would fold like a wet noodle any time Undyne would push back on any of her suggestions.
By the time Frisk falls, the Underground will likely be struggling economically but still be very vehemently anti human. It won’t be quite as bad as Horrortale since Clover never decimated areas like CORE or Hotland. Undyne might find out about the Amalgamates which would lead to a very interesting confrontation. Mettaton’s TV shows would likely be at least partially rebranded into propaganda. Papyrus might finally be allowed to join the Royal Guard since Undyne would have likely gone at least a little off the deep end (and the Royal Guard needs more power. With Martlet dead and Undyne as Queen, the strongest known members of the guard are RG01 and RG02). Undyne would need his strength. Sans likely remains apathetic But maybe joins the Royal guard or remains a Century to just to protect his brother.
Frisk should still be able to Save and Load but they’ll almost certainly have to kill a lot of monsters their first go around. Toriel would be very clingy and even harder to get past than normal, and the monsters would all try very hard to kill Frisk. Hell, maybe Frisk would just stay with Toriel.
Then Frisk falls and Toriel is desperate to keep them with her to prevent both her being ridiculed more and another possible mass murderer to get out there but mainly to keep them safe from the revenge hungry Undyne who wants just one soul for now to go to the surface and kill Clover as revenge
Assuming they push forward, Snowdin would likely be harder than normal with more aggressive monsters. Waterfall might actually be easier because even though monsters would be more aggressive, Undyne would be in the castle. Of course there’s also the possibility of Undyne just leaving the castle and hunting you down as soon as she learns about you.
I'd imagine that sans wouldn't make his promise, and papyrus might end up as part of the royal guard (Due to both undyne and Martlets positions being open). Undyne might not have time to get to know papyrus as well due to being queen?
I'd imagine some of Chujin's ideas would be checked out too, so new models of axis(or Axis inspired drones) and maybe some investigation into the boss monster serum?
The feisty four are alive, and might play a role in the story, potentially as a waterfall boss?
A pacifist run would be… really difficult and probably entail Frisk living as a peaceful fugitive in the Underground for years before the monsters come to terms with the fact that Frisk isn’t as bad as Clover. Ironically Frisk would probably have to live in the areas Clover wiped out since that’s where there wouldn’t be any monsters to threaten them. But eventually I’m sure Frisk could make peace. With no other Souls though… Frisk probably just lives in the Underground until they die of old age and give up their Soul to Undyne to be used to break the barrier. And who knows what happens from there?
As a side note, if Chara ever wakes up or if Frisk does Genocide, Chara will be fucking *furious* to learn some human killed their best friend. Geno Frisk in this timeline would tear the Underground to shreds even more aggressively than normal (since there’s a much stronger self defense argument) and then probably hold off on wiping out humanity until they get the pleasure of killing Clover with their own hands. And since it took Clover until LV 20 to match a LV1 Frisk’s Determination? I honestly feel bad for what Chara and Frisk will put Clover through before they finally destroy the world.(www.reddit.com/r/UndertaleYellow/comments/1abhobf/discussion_about_the_aftermath_of_the_vengeance/)
in contrast to this in the pacifist ending true Justice ending It really does make clovers character more compelling, and it makes Pacifist ending so much more bittersweet, knowing that despite all the horrifying things Clover has been through, clover still chose to be kind, befriend monsters along the way and ultimately give up life for the future of monsterkind.
Undertale Yellow really deserves all the love it's getting. It's an incredible game.m.th-cam.com/video/woGZRvYFA2g/w-d-xo.html

Frisk/Chara's ability is being the strongest force in Undertale. Not as cool as Clover, but at least it's something.
The idea of clover loading the save so flowey cant escape is oddly terrifying
Indeed it is...
It's surprisingly satisfying tho
wouldve been better if sans pulled a glock in judgement hall and mag dumped clover

no sans is such a shame tho ig its hard to make sans good so that ppl dont shit at u for the "bad writing"
the Zenith Martlet death is brutal. literally melting away as they beg for help from the human that's murdered hundreds of their kind.
wait this got likes
and a heart?!
It’s pretty sad ngl.
@@YapaholicGambler definitely

Axis death was also brutal.
Not begging to Clover. In fact, begging to literally anyone else
to be fair clover had like the best reason to genoside. Frisk just does it because they can but clover did it to free and take back home the human souls that the monsters killed. Even if innocent monsters had to die and many characters I love died, I still found the genoside run of undertale yellow awesome!
Never taught i would hear the word "genocide" and "awesome" in the same sentence.
@@Smirving ikr?
If Undertale green ever comes out it would be mostly the same story with Cody, he doesnt see any reasonable way to free the monsters and let them live on the surface, so he does the next kindest thing in his eyes and murders them all so they don't have to live down there.

I will never forget that moment. After 3 hours of pure pain I was literally crying and smiling at the same time while everybody was asleep because it's almost 1AM and I accidentally woke my mom up, so now she thinks pixelated games are designed to make people crazy "like the joker" in her words...
Man that was wild
*DON'T* tell her that you were crying and laughing over finally completing your genocide run. That might make her take drastic actions
just say that you celebrated because you finally won a really hard fight, she'll believe you (probably)

Only 3 hours :3
@@KittyKatty999instead, call it a "100%" run
Flowey's insane speech is one of my favorite parts of this route and the game in general, he knows undertale better than anyone, he knows literally nothing clover did mattered or ever will, their fate is literally set in stone by canon, it's satisfying but might as well have been a dream by just how much it will be invalidated
Clover Probably reset after
My favorite part was when Merg said “it’s proceeding time” and proceeded all over the place.
Undertale: *makes us afraid of our actions and our decisions, we're filled with regret, not determination*
Undertale Yellow: *makes us depressed and shows the impact of our decisions way more, everyone is filled with regret, not justice or determination*
I like both, but UTY.... It's impact and depression... The way Clover doesn't hold back at any moment... Doesn't give a f##k about their existence or anyone's else... I think that i have an excuse for loving Ceroba more than just a character from a videogame.
43:20 ,,20 hp per turn is really bad,, - Merg not knowing this boss was NURFED to give you healing acts... you got 0HP free before

it's so so nice to see this game come out after all of these years. i watched your demo playthrough of this game all the way back then, and followed the development ever since. peak undertale fangame, in my opinion.

Tbh boss wise sans is not even top 5 sure he is hard but its not what people make him out to be.
@@Smirving true, even tho that is a joke, I actually agree :/
i wonder how he'll no hit asgore
@@zanithony1276Yeah best way to describe sans is to memorize his attacks since they are too basic even in his second phase its either "Blue bone jump" or "Gaster blaster spam" I never understood sans hype tbh people can like it its their decision i just don't get it.
Flowey was like: “Oh i f$cked up so bad” at 55:35 when load failed.
Flowey actually told the truth. Most people didn't understand this, though. "You're already dead," Flowey said to Clover. Flowey knows undertale game. No matter what ending we make, Clover will be dead in the Undertale game. That's why flowey laughed at us.
Meanwhile... Rest in peace martlet. ❤

i was too excited and went ahead and watched the full route before you uploaded. but i have no regrets coming back and watching you play it. i genuinely adore your voices for the characters and your reactions. and just thanks for the good vibes man!
Fun Fact: Flowey must have been stupid to not stop the killing by resetting before it was too late.
Such a great fangame!
The original undertale is a big inspiration for me as i want to make games in the future, I'm even learning now. So, seeing this fangame is veey inspiring as well and hope to see more games like undertale and undertale yellow!
Edit: 7:06 best merg quote ever.
Edit2: Personally i like that Clover doesn't lose to asgore, sinc they do in the flawed pacifist ending (where you kill ceroba, you might want to take a look but you already played the game 3 times) and also because it makes it so that Clover can survive but at the cost of everyone on their journey and there is no other way.
🔥🔥👍👍
When this fan game was released after so many years, I was like, holy crap merg is going to make a video about this, so I just sat and waited and soon enough, bam. Also great vid.
clover's idealogy to killing is not for the sake of mindless slaughter but for the JUSTICE of humanity but it's like a critically corrupted form of it.
clover seeks vengeance for humanity for the 5 lost children and he gets enraged when he finds out they have passed away which explains the LV increasing in the battle with Axis, this is why i love genocides ending, it makes complete sense why it would work because clover consumes the boss monster's soul plus the help of the 5 remaining souls.
I like to think that in either routes, the player helps guide Clover to two lines of thought- justice and vengeance. Through acts of mercy, clover realizes all the pain the monsters suffered. In the genocide, clovers darkest desires are fulfilled, to kill all monsters and avenge the fallen humans. Both are the same person, I wouldn’t say the pacifist or genocide is the “true” Clover. Just them being guided down different paths.
20:57
Most the monsters in this game really arent that strong (based on stats), clover is just alot weaker than frisk.
Actully stats wise clover is much stronger than frisk for example lv1 frisk stats are 0 DEF and 0 ATT(not counting the wepone) and lv1 clover stats are 10 DEF and 10 ATT frisk is stronger cause they have more dt also undertale character stats are kinda not true because the stats dont make sense if you want actully kinda right stats check out undertale yellow and red mod i think they calculated the actully stats althought dont quote me on that
1:25 you've officially gone mad with power 😭
5:45 i love that you so serenely went "yeah, sure" as if he was asking you permission to do it

aaaaa, i'm so glad to finally be watching this, i've been dying to watch this literally since the previous part, but sadly my winter break ended this week and now we're wrapping up the semester. i thought finals were hectic in highschool but oh god is this a whole different level- i'm just glad i could take an hour off my day to watch this, thank you for giving me an excuse/a place to chill for at least a while!
There’s a secret where you start the game and wait 5 minutes when u drop down into the hole when you pull the lever toriel saves u with a rope and flowey reloads the file as he dose not like that ending.
13:42 Bookmark for Axis’ death
Theory: I think Axis’ death is meant to mirror the integrity soul’s death when Axis blasted her to death, since we know a vague idea of how she looked when she died from a fun event for the pillars where it shows her body stretched out and her face gone (we don't know how her blown off face actually looks like cuz that chunk of the pillar fell off). Now look at Axis, face is complelety gone and split in two.
Sorry that I couldnt explain it better but that's the best I can do, TLDR: Axis’ corpse mirrors the integrity soul’s corpse when he blasted her face (it's karmic in a gruesome sense)
Anyways enjoy seeing a little girl in a tutu with a massive bleeding hole where her face should be in your nightmares!
I love the voices you do for them so much, especially flowey and martlet :D

@@Royal_Person It's called a live stream.
@@TheMastermind7259 i thought u were talking abt the comment but alr
I genuinely think that Alphys is a Penilla interested in science lol. The genocide ending was BRUTAL. Clover is literally a super saiyan in this fangame lol. The Martlet fight was insane! If the blue soul was still there, I wonder how the serum Chujin made from the blue soul worked. Maybe it took some of the power of the soul to make a serum. And for the serum Martlet used, it possibly could’ve been the bravery or patience soul used to make it. But I’m not sure. Anyways awesome video! Very cool Merg :)
Mergs love of goat dad made this way funnier then it needed to be, and the way he was openly routing for clivers death was the greatest.
There’s a neat detail on the encounter with Flowey that signifies that Clover is the one shooting Flowey and not anyone else/Flowey shooting himself. If you get the nail bullets for your gun, it shows the nail bullets shooting at Flowey instead of the Friendliness Pellets. this game has so many cool details!
This ending of this was so satisfying. Like disregarding the whole notion of genocide being bad for a sec, I was fully expecting Clover to get killed or stopped from leaving at the very end, and that didn't happen. Bro actually just left with the 5 souls, he accomplished his goal.
Hey Merg, there’s actually another ending in case you don’t know! It’s called “Flawed Pacifist”, and all you have to do is make it to the Pacifist Ceroba fight, and then at the end, instead of sparing her, honor her request to see her husband again. There’s extra cutscenes, extra dialogue, and actual gameplay after the fight instead of just a “Nope, you can’t play anymore. Uh uh. Goodbye.” from Flowey like you usually get.
Martlet's death in this route hits even harder than Neutral Undyne's :(
And I'm actually surprised that Flowey lost the ability to load, I thought he would prevail at the end of the route.
Great fangame, and GG
Neutral Undynes death hits me on the same level that neutral Starlo death does, hella sad.
This brings up an interesting theory... Can any human, once they've gained enough LOVE, gain the power of RESET?
And if so, would it be enough to take RESET from a LV 1 Frisk? Because Frisk just had enough Determination inherently (Because of the Red Soul) to take RESET from Flowey just by falling, yet for Clover, it took getting to LV 19. (As seen by them LOADING during the Martlet fight).
Although I suppose the more important question is this; Can Clover at LV 20 have RESET priority over Frisk at LV 1?
Merg Thank you for being in my childhood you made the best memories for me as a Undertale fan, Have a great year!

Both
the determination serum was so powerful martlet gained color
I love how the only hint towards zenith martlets boss fight, is a neutral run where she throws the same syringe away in this boss fight. Really clever
55:50 (Spoilers)
Theory: Since martlet absorbed determination, Clover probably absorbed it with the xp, letting them save and load
Plus the determination axis had
@@JustAGuy1712 That too
Thx for putting spoilers bro
Clever
Martlet injected herself with integrity, it’s why her color theme turns blue, the box your soul enters when you are dodging attacks is blue, and your options are colored blue. The integrity soul was the soul that fell before justice, and axis killed them. When martlet injected herself with integrity, it has the same effect as injecting a monster with determination, they melt. Determination is faster, but it still occurs.
She injected herself with some determination she stolen from Alphys lab.
At long last, the final battle.
Feathers vs. Gunhat
I think now it's a good time to mention this.
Just like in Undertale, there are FUN value events in this game as well. Would be cool if you did a video on that but it's up to you.
I do love the fact that the ONLY ending clover lives is also the only ending where you kill everyone
glitchtales law has entered effect:
"anyone can increase their LV at any time if they hate someone enough"
1:04:05 Clover really said:
"SHUT UP LOSER!"
*Big Laser Charging sound*
"JUSTICE blast"
12:52 hooooooly shit. That little leveling up, his Level of Violence increasing MASSIVELY and that is probably the coolest way I've ever seen the level up system used in undertale.
Sans is only easy now that everyone has it memorized, but when compared to playing it for the first time, I’d say Sans is still more difficult, especially after they made Marlet easier
hmm even still I'd call Sans easier, because of the fact his attacks can be memorized. None of his attacks 'aim' at you, so to speak, so muscle memory to avoid them will come naturally. And at the end of the day, the Sans fight is ultimately a platformer.
Martlet here meanwhile, is designed around that finicky dodge mechanic. Many of her attacks dynamically aim for your soul, meaning no explicitly correct movements for any given attack, you just have to wing it. And of course the fact that her fight is just straight bullet hell. Mess up the dodge even a little and woops, there goes a chunk of health.
Eh I guess this is just my opinion, but frankly with my first attempt at Undertale genocide Undyne gave me more trouble than Sans ever did.
Also maybe a little peeved by the fact I preferred to do the whole run over to get the gold bandanna specifically for Martlet rather than keep slamming my head against it.
@@dovahkat9635I agree too. Sans, while reasonably difficult, still has more dodging room and less about reaction time. Martlet’s claw attack requires quick reaction, and that’s not including all of the feathers/bullets running through the screen at any given moment, leaving less “safe” space for the player to go through. Martlets fight is definitely much more difficult. And just like you pointed out, martlets attacks actively aim for your heart and thus in any given run are going to change (some of her attacks are always the same, but not all of them), meanwhile with sans his attacks will be the same no matter what. Both are still very cool though!
With sans, the attacks are hard but simple and if you get hit you know it's your own fault. With Marlet, it feels like there is just tons of stuff thrown at one, memorizing is far harder
Huh, these are some interesting takes, maybe it’s partially because I wasn’t as good back then, but it only took me an hour to beat Marlet before they nerfed her, but I think I remember it taking me longer to beat Sans back when I first fought him… But I also think Undertale Yellow purposely tried to base the difficulty off of Undertale, Ceroba being Undyne the Undying difficulty, and Marlet being Sans difficulty
@silverwolfzs7601 It's also possible that you've simply gotten better at games like this and so it isn't as much of a challenge as sans was
"Why are you a bird" bro she's been a bird this whole time
"Ok this is very hard"
The next day: *no hit*
That big shot is way bigger than the ones in Deltarune.
Clover craves justice more than Kris ever could.
Then again, Deltarune hasn't fully released yet. Maybe later Toby can make a gag referencing this or something lol.
I actually originally tough that the genocide route was going to be the canon ending and because clover killed all the undertale yellow monsters they don't appear in normal Undertale
They just recently had an update which heavily nerfs Marlet, before the final shop was way less OP, and you didn’t have the Endure option on the 2nd faze, so you had to save like half your items for the 2nd faze before, it was brutal
if I had a shot everytime Merg said "proceed" after the Axis fight... I'd be drunk-
Ah Merg
Yes human SOULs can persist forever. It is the Boss Monster SOULs that will last only few moments
Even Asriel(Flowey) refused to fight her.

Huh?
13:50 Fun fact: A fun value event in the game implies that that is the exact way the blue souled human died. Also you can you can use the G. Items to get a patch item that severely raises your attack and defense.
Feathers maks literally a verbal argument to defend evil: "It was juuuust 5 children we murdered! You murdered Dozensss"
That point falls flat when you consider they were going to use those souls along with other 2 to erradicate humanity and the fact that even if Clover is a pacifist angel they end up dying, Asgore himself says in this ending that even if Clover was good he would have killed them anyways, and thats exactly what happens in Flawed Pacifist
1:05:18 Humans souls do can persist forever in fact, they are not fragile and can stay indefinitely, the souls flasks are only here to contain them so they dont go somewhere else (I think). You are probably confusing with the monster souls that actually are fragile and disappears quickly :)
The fact he STILL calls martlet "Mom" is gold
It only took for the whole monsterkind to go instinct and the last monster to become super sayan for Merg to realize that Martlet is a bird. 20:01
You say Asgore should’ve killed clover and you would be right completely 💀
He has double Zenith Martlet’s stats while holding back against frisk. So in theory even 1 LV up from 19-20 shouldn’t have bridged such a massive gap.
i mean a LV 20 frisk does insta kill him
Frisk one shots him at LV 20 bro

35:05 oh man that little bit of no hit was so impressive! Seeing merg slash through zenith martlet while I spent days trying to beat her is insanely fun
Flowey: its a canon event
Clover: screw it, i rewrite history, CLOVER BLAST
I think the final Ceroba fight on pacifist is just her revealing her power since if Chujin was a boss monster it makes sense she is too (boss monsters are much stronger than normal monsters)
Chujin didnt know until he was starting to do things to himself so it reasonable to think that Ceroba just has never known
That with the fact that Geno Ceroba is much harder than pacifist is possible that she was holding back during the ending of pacifism due to not wanting to really hurt Clover
She just didnt have her awakening since she didnt have the mask atm
Ceroba isn’t a boss monster.

Thats what i can guess since i can't think of any other way to explain everything going on with her
