Summary
Undertalehas been out for a few years at the time of writing this article, and since then, it has managed to garner a significant fanbase thanks to the interesting concepts it presents andthe various routesand endings it has to offer players.
InUndertalethere are also manycharacters who say very impactful quotesthat will stay with players for a very long time. To defend themselves from the monsters they’ll encounter along the way, players will have many weapons at their disposal, but not all of them are as effective as others. Here are some of thebest weapons inUndertale.
2ATK
2 hits
Location and Cost
Gerson for 55G
When they were in high school, some players might have thought about using their heavy notebooks as a weapon to defend themselves from those who would attempt to give them a hard time.
Undertalemakes this a reality by allowing the protagonist to use theTorn Notebook, which has some gibberish written on it and only deals 2ATK, which is almost nothing, even in the early stages of the game. It has a 2-hit attack pattern and can be obtained from Gerson for 55G.
5ATK
Single hit, mash
Dimensional Box for free, Snowdin Shopkeeper 50G
TheTough Glovemight not look like a very powerful weapon at a glance, and this is because it really isn’t. However, it can be a good assistance when used in the early stages of the game. It’s described as worn and pink and made of leather. Specifically made for five-fingered folk.
The Tough Glove has 5ATK and a single hit pattern that can be useful against most weaker enemies. It can be obtained from the Dimensional Box for free or bought from the Snowdin Shopkeeper for 50G.Undertalerequires players to plan their every move, so it could be considered to be one of thebest 16-bit tactical RPGs out there.
7ATK
3 hits
Tall Grass in Waterfall for free
TheBallet Shoesare probably, to many players’ eyes, a very unorthodox choice for weapon, and it’s normal to wonder how they can do any kind of damage. These can be obtained in the tall grass in Waterfall for free and have 7ATK. The attack pattern comes in 3 hits, which can be very useful in various scenarios.
That said, compared to more advanced weapons, the Ballet Shoes don’t really have much going for them except for their quirky description. Not that that’s going to deal any damage, but still, it’s interesting. Similar games toUndertale, such as some of thebest 16-bit JRPGs,also feature unconventional weapons, but they don’t dare to go as far as using ballet attire as a form of dealing damage.
10ATK
4 hits
Isolated area in Hotland for free
Throughout the decades, pans have been used for comedic relief as weapons by many fun characters both in movies and series. So the fact that it’s also possible to use this kitchen utensil inUndertaleis a most welcome addition. TheBurnt Pandeals very consistent damage and also makes consumable items heal four more HP. It has 10ATK and a 4-hit pattern that makes it quite effective against various enemies.
It can be obtained from an isolated area in Hotland for free, so players should definitely look for it when they have the chance. AlthoughUndertaleis not a16-bit game designed to be played in coop mode, it’s undeniable that it would be hilarious to go around the place smashing enemies in the head with a burnt pan.
12ATK
4 hits, very fast
Bratty and Catty for 350G, Free in the Genocide Route
There’s no denying that an empty gun is as useful as a car without an engine, as it loses its entire purpose without the proper ammunition. However, this weapon is quite good inUndertaledespite its lack of bullets. TheEmpty Gunis described as an antique revolver that must be used with precision, as otherwise, the damage output will be low.
When used properly, the Empty Gun has 12ATK and deals 4, very fast hits. It can be purchased from Bratty and Catty for 350G or obtained for free in the Genocide Route. AlthoughUndertaledidn’t have the budget that other16-bit games developed by massive companies like Sega, it’s undeniable that it delivers an experience just as fun, if not more.
15ATK
Single hit
Asgore’s Home for free
Through the use of theWorn Dagger,Undertalefollows in the footsteps of16-bit games developed by Nintendoin the same category that give players a rusty weapon that doesn’t do as much as other sharp weapons in better condition.
The Worn Dagger is great for cutting plants and vines and deals a considerable 15ATK. However, it’s a little held back by its single hit pattern. It can be obtained in Asgore’s Home for free and replaces the Real Knife in the True Pacifist Route and the Neutral Route.
99ATK
Asgore’s home for free. Replaces the Worn Dagger in the Genocide Route
There’s no denying thatUndertaleis one of thebest story-driven video gamesout there. And this is only reinforced by the great weapons available in the game, which culminate with theReal Knife.
The Real Knife is, without a doubt, the strongest weapon in the entirety ofUndertale, as it deals a whopping 99ATK. This is a gargantuan jump from any other weapon in the game, which makes its single-hit attack pattern forgivable due to its raw power. It can be obtained from Asgore’s Home for free, and it replaces the Worn Dagger in the Genocide Route.
