Undertale Genocide run explained: How to play the game in the most evil way possible

By doing an Undertale Genocide run, you will play the game in the most evil way possible: killing everything in your path. (Which, ironically, is the way most normal RPGs are played.)

The Neutral and Pacifist endings are very similar in terms of outcomes and what needs to be done to achieve them, but saving everyone and solving the mysteries isn’t the only way to do things: you can always kill everyone.

We highly recommend that you complete Undertale on Pacifist before embarking on a Genocide run, as it will have some subtle effects on any future playthroughs you do.

How to play a genocide race in Undertale

The general path through the game will be the same, so we’ll just cover the differences; for everything else, check out Pacifist’s walkthrough for specific details.

The ruins

You must kill 20 monsters here before fighting Toriel; Once you’ve reached your quota, you’ll receive a message saying “But no one came” and you can then proceed to deal with her – she’ll die in one hit. If you get stuck while exploring, our Ruins page can help you.

snowdin

Your kill quota for Snowdin is 16 monsters, and it is necessary to kill them before fighting Papyrus; most fights will be pretty easy, but if you encounter a Jerry in a battle, just run away when it’s just him left, as it’s a monumental pain.

There will be some minor differences in the sequence of events as you progress, but the route is the same. It’s worth trying to fill your quota before you reach the village, as it means you can just loot the shop instead of buying anything.

If you get stuck while exploring, our Snowdin page can help you.

Waterfall

You must kill 18 monsters here before facing Undyne. As with Snowdin, events will play out slightly differently, but follow the same general structure.

The boss fight with Undyne will be your first major challenge, so fill your inventory with as many healing items as you can. She will use the same attacks as in a Neutral run, but they will hit much harder (two or three hits may be enough to finish you off), so the only real tactic here is practice, practice, practice.

Hotland and the core

These three areas count as one in terms of your kill quota, and you’ll need to kill 40 monsters before facing Mettaton.

The main difference here is that you won’t need to stop to solve any puzzles in the Laboratory or Core. The two boss fights, Muffet and Mettaton, will end in one hit.

If you get stuck while exploring, Hotland and The Pages can help you.

New home

This place is very similar, but the story and flavor text will be different. There’s no one to kill here, but we recommend returning to MTT Resort to restock on supplies when you’re about to reach the final boss.

How to beat Sans in an Undertale Genocide race

Unlike every other fight in the game, you’re not the first to try: as soon as Sans finishes monologuing, he’ll attack, and if you die and reload, he’ll try to catch you by attacking a little early.

It starts with a long sequence of bones that you’ll have to jump over and then continues by summoning a couple of dragons.

The rest of his attacks are mostly variations of Papyrus’s with a much smaller margin for error, but he also has a trick of his own: the bones can be held together by some platforms that help and hinder your attempts to dodge his projectiles. You can land on the platforms, but be careful with the bone supports as they will damage you.

Keep fighting (and dying), but try to be methodical: once you’ve learned their attack patterns and gotten into a rhythm, it will be easier (or perhaps, more accurately, less difficult).

Eventually he will tire of your antics and offer to forgive you. DO NOT accept his offer as he will kill you instantly.

The next phase of the fight adds additional hazards in the form of bones that will appear above the Fight/Act/Item/Mercy buttons. Using one while you have a bone will cause pain, so you’ll need to time your menu selections carefully.

After a few more rounds, Sans will threaten to unleash his special attack before launching a long series of bones at you followed by some explosive boxes and then some laser-firing dragon skulls. Again, “get well” is the only real advice we can offer here: it’s an attack.

Finally, he will unleash his special attack which consists of a devastating…nothing. He’ll just stay there, and all you can do is wait a couple of minutes until he falls asleep, at which point you can hit him one more time to end the fight.

Playing Undertale? Our complete Undertale walkthrough and Pacifist guide will explain how to finish the game without affecting everyone, covering all areas including Ruins, Snowdin, Waterfall, Hotlands and The Core, and more. You can also learn how to unlock each ending, access Hard Mode, and play as evil as possible with a Genocide run.

Explanation of what to do after completing a Genocide run in Undertale

Head to the throne room and you’ll get some dialogue and a short cutscene, and then you’ll be given a choice. We won’t spoil it by saying what you can choose from, but we will say that choosing either option will permanently alter the endings of the pacifist game; the change is minor, but it is no longer possible to achieve a “happy” ending.

Whichever option you choose, the game will close. When you load it again, nothing but a black screen will appear; Wait 10 minutes and you will be offered another option.

Saying “yes” will restore the game to a working state, and saying “no” will mean waiting another 10 minutes before you’re offered the same option again.
