How to Do the Snowgrave Route
The Snowgrave route is Chapter 2's major alternate route. It requires specific choices with Noelle, repeated freezing actions, and a route-locked sequence before Berdly. Make a separate save first if you want to compare pacifist vs Snowgrave outcomes.
Before You Start
Snowgrave is not recommended for a first casual playthrough. It changes tone, route logic, and character context. If you want the standard story flow, finish Chapter 2 normally first, then replay from a separate save.
Step-by-Step Route Shape
- Progress through Chapter 2 until Noelle becomes central to the party route.
- Choose the darker command options consistently when the game gives you control.
- Use freezing actions repeatedly instead of resolving encounters normally.
- Keep following the route-specific prompts until the Berdly sequence becomes available.
- Commit to the Snowgrave spell only if you want the alternate route consequences.
Pacifist vs Snowgrave
The normal route keeps Chapter 2 closer to the expected adventure structure. Snowgrave reframes Noelle, Berdly, Spamton NEO, and Kris through a much darker lens. For SEO searches like "what happens if you kill everyone" or "can you kill everyone," the practical answer is that Snowgrave is DELTARUNE's clearest alternate route, not a one-to-one Undertale genocide route.
Common Mistakes
- Mixing normal spare behavior into a route that requires consistent darker choices.
- Overwriting your only save before seeing the normal route.
- Missing route-specific dialogue because you rush through Cyber City.
