Undertale Soul Quiz

The seven SOUL colors

A human SOUL in Undertale is a heart that points down. Monster SOULs are white and point up. Flowey calls the heart "the very culmination of your being." Seven human SOULs can break the barrier. The protagonist's SOUL is red, and battles can repaint it for a turn.

The one-word traits for six colors come from the Ball Game in Snowdin. Finish it fast enough the first time and the game lists them: Bravery, Justice, Integrity, Kindness, Perseverance, Patience. Each colored flag has its own line about how you played.

• Light blue: Patience

  Light blue is Patience. Its Ball Game flag reads: "You waited, still, for this opportunity... then dethroned "Ball" with a sharp attack."

  The human with this SOUL left behind the Toy Knife and the Faded Ribbon, both found in the Ruins. Light blue attacks hurt a SOUL that is moving, so the safe play is to hold still. In the Omega Flowey fight, this SOUL attacks with spinning knives and heals with bandages.

• Orange: Bravery

  Orange is Bravery. Its Ball Game flag reads: "You are the kind of person who rushes fists-first through all obstacles."

  Its items are the Tough Glove and the Manly Bandanna, both sold by the Snowdin shopkeeper. There's also a Tough Glove in the first Dimensional Box. Orange attacks hurt a SOUL that stands still, so Bravery is played by moving. In the Omega Flowey fight, this SOUL attacks with spinning gloves and heals with thumbs-up.

• Blue: Integrity

  Blue is Integrity. Its Ball Game flag reads: "Hopping and twirling, your original style pulled you through."

  The human with this SOUL left behind the Ballet Shoes and the Old Tutu, both found in Waterfall. Blue mode puts gravity on the SOUL: you jump, then you land. In the Omega Flowey fight, this SOUL attacks with ballet shoes and stars, and heals with eighth notes.

• Purple: Perseverance

  Purple is Perseverance. Its Ball Game flag reads: "Even when you felt trapped, you took notes and achieved the end of "Ball.""

  The human with this SOUL left behind the Torn Notebook and the Cloudy Glasses, both sold by Gerson. Purple mode limits the SOUL to horizontal lines, the trap pattern. In the Omega Flowey fight, this SOUL attacks with books and negative words, and heals with positive ones.

• Green: Kindness

  Green is Kindness. Its Ball Game flag reads: "Your concern and care for "Ball" led you to a delicious victory."

  The human with this SOUL left behind the Burnt Pan and the Stained Apron, both found in Hotland. Green attacks heal, and the green SOUL mode is Undyne's shield: you stand still and block. In the Omega Flowey fight, this SOUL attacks with frying pans and fire, and heals with fried eggs.

• Yellow: Justice

  Yellow is Justice. Its Ball Game flag reads: "Your sure-fire accuracy put an end to the mayhem of "Ball.""

  The human with this SOUL left behind the Empty Gun and the Cowboy Hat, both bought from Bratty and Catty. Yellow mode turns the SOUL upside down and lets it shoot. In the Omega Flowey fight, this SOUL attacks with a loaded gun and heals with four-petal flowers.

• Red: Determination

  Red is your SOUL. The game never names its trait, but fans call it Determination. Earn a second red flag in the Ball Game and it tells you: "Try as you might, you continue to be yourself."

  Two pairs go with red. You start with the Stick and the Bandage. The first fallen human's Worn Dagger and Heart Locket are in Asgore's home. On a Genocide Route they become the Real Knife and The Locket. Red is the normal battle mode: the SOUL moves freely. SAVE points tell you you're filled with determination, and Alphys's lab notes say it's what lets human SOULs persist after death. That's where the fan name comes from. It's a fan reading, though: no flag or menu calls red Determination.

If two traits tie, this quiz keeps the one earlier in that list: Patience, Bravery, Integrity, Perseverance, Kindness, Justice, then the red SOUL. The same order is on the screen above.
