Neil

# /!\ **SPOILER ALERT** /!\

## Description

Upon completion of every Object Task, you will be rewarded with a new Mode, known as **"Neil Mode"**. In said mode, it works similar to Normal Mode, but no other characters beside Raldi will appear, and he is replaced with Neil. New items will also be present, known as Acid Gas Canisters, which work just like Dirty Chalk Erasers, and can be stood in to prevent Neil from spoting you. Just like money, the amount of Acid Gas Canisters you have will be displayed in a separate counter.

## Behavior

### Post-Boss Fight

Upon starting Neil Mode, you will be greeted with 2 Acid Gas Canisters, as well as a note that is said to be from "Someone Who Wasn't As Fortunate As You". The note basically explains a few details on how Neil works compared to Raldi. Neil will move faster than Raldi, and will not make slapping sounds. Neil also has the ability to break windows, and walk through them. Neil will give off a bright bluish-white light, which can be seen through walls, allowing you to know where he is without having to use sounds the way you would Raldi. When Neil sees you, the Hello sound will not play, but the FOV effect will still happen, allowing you to still decently know where Neil is. Upon collecting all 10 Notebooks and reaching the 4th and final exit, Neil will appear in an Undertale Sans-fashion, the screen flickering black before appearing and closing the last exit.

### Boss - Phase 1

When Neil appears, the bossfight will begin, encouraging you to find an object/meme to throw at Neil. Upon doing so, the music will become more intense, indicating it's time to run. During the boss, you must run around the school to avoid Neil while finding objects/memes to throw at him in order to deal damage. Although, this is easier said than done, as items cannot be used, nor can hiding, as Neil will always know exactly where you are. He can still break windows, and now he is able to barricade walls, forcing you to take another route. You must repeat the attack 15 times in order to defeat Neil. Once defeated, Neil will continue on about thinking you could defeat him, and eventually the screen will go black and start flickering white. This will start Phase 2, where a new track begins to play.

### Boss - Phase 2

The Crackhouse will appear in ruins, as well as random objects floating around and flying everywhere. When Phase 2 begins, a forcefield will appear around Neil, requiring you to break it before you are able to attack. During this phase, your camera will be unlocked, allowing you to look up and down. You are able to sprint during this phase, due to damage not speeding up you nor Neil. You also have a health bar now. Neil will chase you, getting too close will cause you to take damage. You must run around while still finding objects/memes to throw at Neil. After successfully breaking the forcefield and dealing damage to Neil, he will yell at you, indicating to get out of the way, because he will shoot around 10 lasers directly at you, which will deal damage. The more damage you've dealt, the faster the lasers will be fired, eventually being shot so fast they all combine into a single laser. Once dealt enough damage, you will be given the option to BSODA Neil into the abyss [Fight], or spare him and pull him away from the abyss [Mercy]. Neither of these options matter, as whatever you choose, Neil will be pulled into the abyss. After doing so, you will be sent to Baldi's Schoolhouse, which will be covered in a deep white fog. After wondering into the Schoolhouse, different thoughts will show up in text boxes. One being related to Raldi, the second being related to Chipfloke, the third being related to Van Man, and the final one telling you that this world is yours to explore. After walking slightly further, Neil will appear out of nowhere and tell you that you thought you could really defeat him, before a credits scene appears. Heading back to Object Tasks after defeating Neil will result in you being given a memory, which you are told to take to Ishaan. Doing so will unlock **"Ishaan Mode"** which works the same as Neil Mode, excluding Phase 2 of the bossfight, the only difference being that if you fail, your entire save file will be corrupted, resulting in you having to restart from Square 1. If you beat Ishaan Mode, you will unlock the True Ending, where Neil explains that you have freed the souls of all of these characters, and that they will be replaced with clones (in order to encourage replayability). He also explains what he has been doing this entire time.

## Trivia

* When Neil Mode is still active on your save file, your user will be changed from the student model to a stretched Neil face, indicating you have Neil Mode active.
