### ACTs

Check

Sans is the main enemy of the fan-game Dusttale: Last Genocide.

His battle takes place in 3 Phases, with varying mechanics and different levels of difficulty.

## Attacks

Sans frequently switches the Soul between Red to Blue Mode, which forces the Human to jump through gaps between his bones or slamming it against the walls of the Bullet Board. He often combines the latter with Gaster Blasters.
As the final attack of Phase 1, he will use normal, light blue and orange bones alongside many Gaster Blasters, before concluding his onslaught with a circle of Blasters and trying to slam the Soul towards the walls where he'll fire more Blasters.

In Phase 2, Sans will start to periodically slash the Bullet Board with his sword, generating a straight white beam. A flashing warning will appear in the place he'll strike. The screen will also be flipped right, left or upside down on certain attacks. Many of his attacks are used in conjunction with Papyrus.
As the final attack, Sans will initially use a combination of both bones and blasters, before letting Papyrus take over. He then returns after his brother's attacks end, splitting his sword and then proceeding to continuously attack until he finally gets tired.

In Phase 3, Sans will break the 4 option buttons, before starting a single yet long attack, with various heals sporadically appearing throughout the fight. Similarly to the last Phase, the screen will be flipped on certain directions, rotated or moved around. During certain parts of Phase 3, the colors will also be momentarily inverted.
Towards the end of Phase 3, Sans will summon purple coloured bones outside of the Bullet Board, which will then be launched towards the last spot the Soul was before they were launched. During his final attack, he'll proceed to bombard the Bullet Board by using purple bones and blasters, while Gaster summons a continuous stream of orange wingdings from both sides of the screen, this until Gaster vanishes and Sans tires out for good.

In each of the Phases above, Sans will utilize 5 different types of bones:

* White bones, which inflict damage by touching them;
* Light blue bones, which inflict damage by moving while close to them;
* Orange bones, which inflict damage by not moving while close to them. Introduced in Phase 1;
* Blue and red bones, which obscure the Bullet Board with their respective color, minus the Soul which becomes black.

## Strategy

Much like his canonical counterpart, in order to progress the fight, Sans must be attacked. After checking or utilizing items, Sans will still proceed to attack, but these attacks do not contribuite to the progress of the fight, as his dialogue doesn't appear. Mercy is unavailable.

## Mechanics

Sans dodges or reflects any attack directed at him. Unlike his canonical counterpart, he doesn't uses KR, but his damage is increased at 4. If the Human's HP is at 4, he'll inflict 3 damage.

## Battle

### Phase 1

here we are…
eager to reach the end once more, aren’t you?
heh-heh-heh…
well, this time i will give it my all to stop you.
and now i’m prepared way better than you think.
...
it could’ve been a beautiful day today.
with birds singing and flowers blooming…
but now on days like these…

Murderer’s Claws Are Vying.

was that a little bit…
too much? **[Plays if the Player takes damage at the opening attack]**

getting the hang of it, uh?.. **[Plays if the Player didn't take damage at the opening attack]**

anyways…
here we go.

**Attack #1**

heh… sorry, bucko.
not feeling like getting slit this time around.
just like the good ol’ days, eh?
rev up!

**Attack #2**

you know, back then i really hoped you would just give up on this world.
there was absolutely nothing new for you.
same encounters. same outcome every single time.
but you kept going. seeking for something…
…for anything to change.

**Attack #3**

you got what you wanted, didn’t you?
i saw it. i knew it.
i knew you were gonna kill them all…
… again.
and that’s when i decided to do this.

**Attack #4**

you know all that already, right?
after all, it is your ‘game’.
but while toying with our world, kiddo…
heh-heh…
you made a mistake.

**Attack #5**

you went too far.
you had countless chances to QUIT.
yet here i am, once again, fighting you…
with the dust on MY hands…
…
you sicko.

**Attack #6**

don’t be surprised.
i know what’s going on here.
you made me repeat this cycle.
you made me kill them over and over again…
just for a different ending.

**Attack #7**

how do i know?
heh…
none of your business.

**Attack #8**

all you need to know is that i’ve met someone.
and with their help, i’ll achieve the ending that I want.

**Attack #9**

you know what?
i think our battle has gone a bit steady…
don’t you agree?
heh…
let’s fix that.

**Attack #10**

that should work.
let’s see if you can keep up the pace.

**Attack #11**

in a way, our fight is ironic, isn’t it?..
i had to go all out just to even the odds…
…and become a killing machine to shut one down.
but i know this will be worth it in the end.

**Attack #12**

you won’t escape from your sins, kid…
go ahead, continue…
see how deep they’ll drag you this time.

**Attack #13**

things have changed.
and i’m not gonna miss such an opportunity.
i’ll give you what you deserve.

**Attack #14**

don’t think i’m exaggerating.
you didn’t even hear the best part.

**Attack #15**

even if you manage to defeat me this time…
i got my last trump card ready.

**Attack #16**

not to ruin the excitement…
…that you want to sacrifice countless lives for…
let’s just say…
that’s a little ‘present’ i got from our dear dr. alphys.

**Attack #17**

and if you cross the line…
it’s power will be enough to end you.

**Attack #18**

but let’s leave that for later.
we don’t want to spoil all the fun for you, am i right?
…

**Attack #19**

speaking of having fun…
you look a little… bored.
have my attacks become a routine for you again?
well… tell you what.
i was just… warming up.
let’s see how well you can survive THIS.
i’d say ‘break a leg’, but…
…take my advice, kiddo…
pray for the best…

Prepare For The Worst. **[Sans voice doesn't play in this line]**

Keep attacking. **[After attacking at least once]**
The atmosphere is familiar, yet different… **[After attacking three times]**
Sans gives you a cold and terrifying grin. **[After attacking six times]**
You got the feeling of Déjà vu. **[After attacking nine times]**
Sans is focused. **[After attacking eleven times]**
Show him our strength. **[After attacking twelve times]**
Sans is getting impatient. **[After attacking sixteen and seventeen times]**
Sans’s eyes glow with fervor. **[After attacking eighteen times]**
Sans overdid it. **[After the final attack]**
Always A Murderer. **[Check]**
He’s tired of fighting. **[Check, after the final attack]**

#### Phase 1.5

…
. . .
there i go again…
being predictable…
as always…
. . .
but…
did you really think that i’m done with you?
heh-heh-heh…
you don’t even know what you’re up to, kid.
i already told you that i’m NOT letting you win this time.
i am sick of your blind desire to keep tormenting us.
i am sick of your ‘determination’.
so don’t expect it to help you now.
i’m not going to waste the only chance i was given.
kid, you’d better be prepared…
we’re only getting started.
and i’ll be the one…
who puts an end to this once and for all.

### Phase 2

ready for round two?
don’t get overexcited, kiddo…
i’ll try to make this QUICK.

**Attack #2**

so many deaths, so much grief caused by your actions…
all of what happened to me… and papyrus too…
who am i to let you get away with all that?

**Attack #3**

on your psychotic rampage of killing monsters…
have you realized how much of a monster YOU have become?
given your attitude, i say the answer is obvious.

**Attack #4**

you murder for EXP and LV, but why?
are you THAT eager to become powerful?
or do you just kill for your own satisfaction?..
…

**Attack #5**

i bet that’s a question that you don’t know the answer to yourself.
and i don’t think that even your inner demons do.

**Attack #6**

what could it possibly be?
finding more amusement in your little ‘game’?..
or maybe bedeviling this world until it tears itself apart?

**Attack #7**

no matter what it is…
you’re NOT getting through me this time.

**Attack #8**

whatever limit you want to break so badly, kiddo…
you’d better just give it up.
because i am about to break yours.

**Attack #9**

everyone has to face the consequences of their actions.
and this time i will bring you to justice…
no matter what.

**Attack #10**

alright, kid…
this is your final warning.
attack me one more time…
and you’ll see what i can REALLY do.
enough of messing around.

**Attack #11**

welp, i tried.
seems like you made your choice long ago.
get ready, bucko.
because here it is…

THE HELL THAT YOU ASKED FOR. **[Sans voice doesn't play in this line]**

Keep attacking. **[After attacking at least once]**
It feels like Sans is not fighting alone… **[After attacking three times]**
Looks like he’s getting more serious now. **[After attacking five times]**
Something is not right… **[After attacking seven times]**
Sans is preparing something… Get ready. **[After attacking ten times, one turn before the final attack]**
Finish the job. **[After the final attack]**
He’s ready to strike you down. **[Check]**
His time is up. **[Check, after the final attack]**

### Phase 3

what?..
what… was that?
i am… still standing, huh?
…
i see.
i can’t mess this one up…
i won’t lose now…
not this time.
it seems like i’m not the only one who wants to kill you, human.
so… heh-heh-heh…
prepare yourself…
because now…

Your Death Is Right At Hand. **[Sans voice doesn't play in this line]**

now would you look at this…
you’ve survived… after everything we’ve done…
although… i shouldn’t be surprised.
you won’t give up no matter what happens, will you?

#### Phase 3.5

huff… puff…
what a wild ride…
...
speaking of which, we’re pretty much at the final destination.
at this point, it’s obvious that i can’t defeat you.
no matter how hard i try…
my powers are just…
not enough.
but…
i think i know what is.
remember me talking about my, uh… ‘last resort’?
yeah, THIS.
i couldn’t get my hands on the real human souls…
this is an artificial soul prototype.
fascinating, isn’t it?
to think that this old science masterpiece is finally put to good use…
and that i, of all people, am the one to do this…
but, i guess, that’s just what happens now.
alphys did quite a good job at hiding this thing in the lab.
...
that didn’t help her.
she kept telling me that this was dangerous and stuff…
but that doesn’t matter now.
not anymore.
as long as it allows me to destroy YOU, i’m fine with it.
farewell…
you demon.
…
that… that doesn’t feel right…
why is everything blurry all of a sudden?
a-and why does it hurt… so much?
i-i don’t like this plan anymore!
I-I WANT THIS TO STOP!
THIS SHOULDN’T BE HAPPENING!
IT FEELS LIKE I’M GOING TO-

## Trivia

* Sans, unlike his canonical counterpart, has a visible HP bar when he is hit at the end of Phase 1. It does not appear in any other circumstance;
* Gaster Blasters differ from how they appear in Undertale, and they'll take on different appearances in all Phases:
	+ In Phase 1, they'll appear identical to their normal appearance, minus the eyes which are heterochromatic; The right eye is purple, while the left eye is blue with a trace of red;
	+ In Phase 2, both their eyes will become purple;
	+ In Phase 3, they lose their lower jaw and their purple eyes become slightly smaller. They will also emit wingdings before firing.

1. ↑ The damage is reduced to 3 if the Human's HP is at 4.
