Ruins

This is a sub-page of Undertale/Unused Text.

Unused Toriel Intro Line#

An unused line of dialogue intended to be spoken by Toriel when she saves you from Flowey, which isn't shown as the line right after it where she says she will guide you through the catacombs mistakenly overwrites it.

I will do my best
to ensure your
protection during
your time here.

Early Ruins Introduction#

A slightly earlier version of Toriel's dialogue introducing you to the Ruins, with a different line break placement. Removed by version 1.001-4 (1.05 on PC), being replaced by the final dialogue.

Early	Final
* Allow me to educate you   in the operation of   the RUINS.	* Allow me to educate you   in the operation of the   RUINS.

Switch Room#

Unused dialogue from Toriel likely meant for the switch room, as it is placed between other dialogue used in that room. It is unknown how it would have triggered, as there is no code associated with it.

English	Japanese
* You are very curious,    are you not?	＊ あらあら 　 あまのじゃくさん…
* Please understand.    I only want the best   for you.	＊ いいこだから… 　 わたしのいうとおりに 　 してちょうだいね。

Early Dummy Room Dialogue#

Slightly early dialogue from Toriel in the dummy room when speaking to her before talking to the dummy. A Japanese translation of this does exist; however, it is exactly the same as the Japanese translation of the final line.

Early	Final
* Practice talking to   the dummy.	* Practice talking to   the dummy.
* You can say anything...  * I do not think the dummy   will be bothered.	* You can say anything...  * The dummy will not   be bothered.

Pillar Interaction#

Text likely meant for interacting with the pillar in the long hallway.

Toriel forgot to hang up#

Unused hanging up text for when Toriel calls you about if you like things other than butterscotch or cinnamon in Hard Mode, which isn't shown as the line before it is set to end the conversation.

Rock Candy Bowl#

Text for interacting with obj_candydish2, an early version of the Monster Candy dish found in room_ruins12B_old that gives the unused Rock Candy item.

(Interacting with the bowl)

(If you don't take a candy)

(If you do take a candy)

(Attempting to take a candy while already carrying one)

Early Toriel Sock Drawer Dialogue#

Early dialogue for interacting with Toriel's sock drawer in her room, tied to obj_readable_room1 instead of obj_sockdrawer. Strangely, in the demo of Undertale, this was the same as the final dialogue, however it was changed for unknown reasons.

(first interaction)

(after first interaction)

(during True Pacifist epilogue)

Unused Pre-Toriel Genocide Battle Message#

During the Genocide Route in the Demo, in the cutscene before the fight with Toriel, Toriel's normal dialogue plays up until after her saying "Prove yourself..." then the lines above will display. However, they don't display in the final game, as the related code now requires the kill counter for the Ruins and Snowdin to be greater than 11 to be ran, and one normally can't access Snowdin without fighting Toriel.

English	Japanese
* Prove to me that you   are...	＊ あなたの　つよさを 　 しょうめい…
* Hey, let me finish	＊ ちょっと！ 　 まだ　はなしの 　 とちゅうよ！

True Pacifist Tree Dialogue#

Unused dialogue intended to appear when interacting with the tree outside Toriel's house during the True Pacifist epilogue; however, it is mistakenly part of the code for the top half of the tree, and only the bottom half is interactable.

Battle#

Froggit#

The first Froggit encounter uses a separate enemy object from regular Froggits called obj_fakefroggit. In the code for this version of Froggit are early versions of some flavor text that appears throughout the battle that has broken spacing, line breaks, and indentation.

Loox#

Text that is supposed to appear after picking on Loox; however, it doesn't as the code for it appearing mistakenly checks if Loox's mercy percentage is less than -100% instead of less than or equal to -100%.

Text that is supposed to appear after not picking on Loox; however, it doesn't as the code for it appearing mistakenly checks if Loox's mercy percentage is greater than 100% instead of greater than or equal to 100%.

Whimsun#

Text that is supposed to appear if Whimsun's health is less than its max health; however, that is impossible to happen as any attack deals enough damage to instantly kill Whimsun.

Migosp#

Text that is supposed to appear when Migosp is alone and not spareable; however, whenever there are no other enemies in a battle, Migosp is automatically able to be spared.

Parsnik#

Text that is supposed to appear when Parsnik is spareable; however, it doesn't as the code for it appearing mistakenly checks if Parsnik's mercy percentage is greater than 100% instead of greater than or equal to 100%.

Vegetoid & Loox Encounter#

The encounter message for an unused encounter involving Vegetoid and Loox.

Toriel#

A duplicate line from the Napstablook battle that is oddly in Toriel's boss code. Napstablook's kill code was likely copy and pasted for Toriel, which is why this exists.

Test/Error Messages#

Writer Test#

Placeholder sign text for room_ruins7 used to test the writer. It starts out with no speaker, switches to Toriel, and then switches the font and character sounds to Sans and Papyrus. Removed by version 1.001-4 (1.05 on PC).

Flowey's Error#

The default placeholder message for Flowey's dialogue that appears when you first meet him if you had reset a Genocide or Neutral run. It is also used as a placeholder message for when you meet Flowey after fighting Toriel, and ends up appearing if you enter that room before fighting Toriel. It appears to softlock the game when triggered.

Pie Flavor Error#

If you reset your game, Toriel will guess your favorite pie flavor from the choice you made pre-reset. If this went wrong and the value of what pie you chose is set to 0, this message would be displayed.
