Still manipulative, but now driven by confusion over the warped timeline. Works with Frisk and ghostly Chara to uncover the truth.

Once loving, now unstable and politically obsessed. Offers twisted care to fallen humans while being violent and unhinged.

Still structured and dutiful, but hardened. Leads the Royal Guard with cold precision, maintaining a rivalry with crime boss Muffet.

Detached and unethical, obsessed with Determination and human soul experiments. Uses anyone, even former players, in pursuit of knowledge.

Certainly! Here's a wiki-style summary of the important lore and route structure of VolatileTale:
Route System & Lore – VolatileTale AU[]
Muffet’s Role in Resets[]
Muffet acts as the unexpected "frenemy" and reset mechanism for Frisk. At the end of every route, Muffet appears—either in person or via phone (if she rules in a Neutral ending)—offering to reset the world for Frisk.
- Motivation: She’s not helping out of kindness, but because she relates to Frisk’s cycle of routes. Muffet believes she has lived through multiple timelines herself.
- Requirement: Muffet is always at LV 19. She kills Asgore (or a substitute) in every route except an attempted Pacifist, allowing her to reach LV 20 and trigger a reset.
- Control: Frisk can tell Muffet not to kill Asgore, and she will obey—unless it’s a Genocide route, in which case she insists.
Route Types in VolatileTale[]
True Pacifist Route (Near Impossible)[]
- Difficulty: Incredibly hard to achieve due to the inherently hostile and cruel world.
- Underground Culture: Mercy is punished; kindness is seen as weakness. Pascalion encourages violence and experimentation.
- Major Obstacles:
- Papyrus is emotionally hardened.
- Sans is a calculating serial killer.
- Alphys is morally bankrupt and unempathetic.
- Undyne fights to the death when challenged.
- Requirements: Extreme strategy, persuasion, and possibly reality-warping tactics are needed. A "Least Kill Route" may be more feasible, but a full pacifist ending is nearly unattainable.
Neutral Route (Chaotic and Unstable)[]
- Tone: Morally gray with no clean victories. Choices lead to unpredictable consequences and multiple unique endings.
- Notable Neutral Outcomes:
- Undyne-Papyrus Takeover: Undyne dies, Papyrus militarizes the Underground.
- Alphys Experimentation: Spare her after killing many—she captures you as a subject.
- Muffet’s Crime Empire: Kill guards, spare her—she turns the Underground into a lawless state.
- Sans' Judge Ending: If Sans survives and deems your actions unjust, he may become your relentless hunter.
- King Pascalion’s Role:
- Might admire or despise you.
- Could try to capture you as a prototype for “New Humanity.”
- Chara & Flowey:
- Chara approves of violence, mocks passivity.
- Flowey admires strength, is confused or fearful of mercy.
- New Home:
- Reflects your choices.
- Always dangerous, no matter who’s in charge.
Genocide Route[]
- Outcome: Total slaughter; Muffet still kills Asgore or someone else to reset.
- Babybones may enter her monstrous "True Rage Form" if driven far enough by trauma and stress.
- Brownie disappears entirely in this route.
