10 Video Game Rewards Unlocked By Dying

10. Continuously Cheaper Armour (Undertale)

Undertale is irresistibly charming and unique – for numerous reasons – while also being firmly rooting in the history of classic RPGs (namely, the Mother series). Indeed, its addictive gameplay, brilliant meta humor, and standout personalities arguably turned it into 2015’s superlative indie title.

Obviously, none of that implies that Undertale is a cakewalk. To be blunt, it can get extremely demanding and exasperating at certain points, so players are definitely going to draw their final breath a lot along the way.

Luckily, creator Toby Fox decided to assist main character Frisk when necessary via the significantly powerful Temmie Armour (which gets cheaper and cheaper with every subsequent death).

Originally, a non-Genocide Route Frisk can purchase the armor from the Tem Shop for 9999G (that is, after they pay the 1000G “tem pay 4 colleg” fee for the shopkeeper’s university scholarship). But, it drops in price to 1000G if Frisk gives up the ghost.

This trick can be exploited roughly two dozen times, until the final price is a mere 750G. Not too shabby.
