10 Secret Ways You Can Save Video Game Bosses From Themselves
8. Be Such A Pacifist That Asriel Dreemurr Gives Up Trying To Kill You: Undertale
The beloved Undertale is an RPG like no other. Its retro aesthetic belies mechanics unlike any seen before, and this extends to its Genocide and True Pacifist routes.
It's possible, as the title of the latter suggests, to reach the end of the game without killing a single foes. Battles can be ended through other means, such as showing mercy to foes, and maintaining these unorthodox tactics right up to the very end sees the player encounter Asriel Dreemurr as the final boss.
This mighty being unleashes all manner of devastating attacks, but unfortunately for him, he cannot kill you. You, in turn, can't kill him either, as your options in this battle amount to healing and reducing the damage you sustain.
Your only objective here is to survive, until Asriel becomes frustrated and stops fighting. His devious plan forgotten, he reverts to a crying, frustrated child (literally).
