On the Neutral Route before the fight begins, Asgore destroys the MERCY button. While on the Genocide Route, the MERCY button is already absent. He attacks mainly with fireballs and his trident.

Asgore forces the protagonist to fight him, and the protagonist cannot spare Asgore.

To decrease Asgore's AT and DF, the protagonist can eat a piece of Butterscotch Pie in battle or talk to Asgore three times. Talking to Asgore only reduces his Stats if the protagonist has 0 EXP. This may allude to channeling someone sensitively familiar.

During the battle, Asgore uses attack patterns similar to Toriel's. He also uses light blue and orange attacks in which the protagonist can see the upcoming attack pattern by looking at Asgore's eyes, which flash the attack color pattern. This pattern also plays sound clips, the 2-4 warnings ending with a lower pitched noise than previous. His attack patterns usually fill the screen, like a Curtain Fire (da-n ma- ku-) genre game.

After dealing the final blow to Asgore, the protagonist can choose to either "FIGHT" or give him "MERCY"; the "MERCY" button has cracks in it from being shattered previously.

## Attacks

> *Note: All damages assume no armor at LV 1.*

Asgore's attacks are faster and more intense versions of Toriel's attacks.

* Four waves of small fireballs move from the top of the screen, which curve in a double helix pattern. This attack does 8 damage per hit.
* Smaller waves of small fireballs (6 damage per hit) move down the middle of the screen are interspersed with massive clouds of projectiles that cover entire sides of the screen (8 damage per hit).
* Partial circles of fireballs that gradually spiral in around the Bullet Board. This attack does 8 damage per hit.
* His hands move along the sides of the screen, leaving behind large fireballs that move towards the protagonist's SOUL after all the bullets appear. They home in on the spot where the SOUL was when they began moving. This attack does 6 damage per hit, but the paws do no damage.
* Rings of large fireballs fire from the top of the screen, gradually moving from one corner to the other. This attack does 6 damage per hit
* Asgore's eyes flash blue and orange randomly, followed by sweeping strikes in the same order of the flashes of his trident, which hit the entire Bullet Board. This uses blue and orange attacks. This attack does 6 damage per hit.

## Strategy

With no MERCY button, the protagonist has no choice but to attack Asgore until he reaches a sliver of health. They may then spare or kill him.

## Mechanics

Asgore's attack and defense can be lowered in two ways:

* Consuming Toriel's Butterscotch Pie during the boss fight, which reminds Asgore of her.
* Talking to Asgore three times. (Only if the player has not killed anyone)

His attacks end if the protagonist reaches 1 HP and begins at a higher amount.
