Yellow SOUL versus Meta Flowey: Undertale Yellow Flowey fight

Spoilers

On the roof, then inside his head

Undertale Yellow ends its Neutral route on a rooftop. Clover accepts Martlet's offer to stay. Flowey puts a vine through her, claims Clover's SOUL, and continues the argument inside his head. The whole journey had been his attempt to point Clover toward Asgore.

What comes first is still ordinary Flowey, Check text and all: "Your best friend." Saves get reloaded so FIGHT, items, and the crueler ACT labels never hold. Three mazes are the way through that half. The build embedded here is the half after that.

Players named the second form Meta Flowey. The fan game never stamps that title on a card of its own. Two variables supply the words: global.meta_flowey_introduction_count and global.meta_flowey_fight_count. Counting introductions only tracks the Dark Ruins greeting. Counting fights tracks how often Clover has met him here, and that count rewrites the flashbacks plus the speech once the battle is over.

Six petals in the lower half

He occupies the top of the screen and leaves the entire bottom as the bullet box. Your SOUL is the yellow one, able to fire. The dash arrives for good after the first petal falls, and in this project that dash is X.

About twenty-five seconds of gray patterns come first. He then seizes the SOUL so you can shoot a petal and choose a specimen, one of six: patchworked, organic, clay, paper, polygonal, mechanical. The piece you need is marked red. A cleared petal restores 60 HP and returns you to the gray patterns. Checkpoints land every second petal and survive closing the game, which the first half's checkpoints do not. After the sixth petal, the patterns ease off and the encounter winds down.

Entering the fight overwrites Clover to 100 HP and 0 defense no matter the LV you carried. Hits in the first half deal 12. Armor is ignored except the Silver Scarf, which still heals.

This build's first spoken line is HOWDY with the letters split apart, the same speech that leads into the second half. In the gray stretch a revolver hangs in the box, green digits float over the flower, and the yellow bar rests on the bottom edge.

Dodge tips for Meta Flowey's petals

RatchetJobaria's keys are arrows to move, Z to interact, and X to dash. The card also uses C to skip. What follows is the fan game's Neutral finale, inside his mind, after Martlet and after he has Clover's SOUL. Your stats are forced to 100 HP and 0 defense. Every phase 1 hit deals 12. The build in the frame is the Meta Flowey half.

• Phase 1 has three sections. Each one opens with three attacks drawn from a pool: pulsing pellet rings, a mouth arc with one gap, cartoon clones that swap you with a white heart, shattering white hearts, petal streams aimed at you, thorn lines, homing rings, a humanoid head spraying pellets and spikeballs, and splitting tears.
• Then you get distorted, faster versions of bosses you killed. Spared bosses are skipped. The list is Decibat, Dalv, El Bailador, Starlo, Guardener, Axis, and Ceroba.
• A full-screen attack raises white hands. Touching them drains HP fast. The first section's version can mostly be survived by standing still.
• Then a maze: reach the SAVE point while vines move. Clear it three times. Each clear is a checkpoint.
• Endure, Hope, and Persist each heal 30. Each has a chance to show up on a turn. FIGHT, items, and the crueler ACT labels get reloaded away.
• Phase 2 puts the bullet box on the lower half of the screen. You have the yellow heart, and after the first petal the dash stays for the rest of the fight, which makes the spikes much easier. In this project that dash is X.
• About 25 seconds of grey attacks come first: guns, flower-horse cowboys, corpse spikes, flytrap fireballs, cross-shaped bombs, waving hands, and a face circled by spikeballs that follows you.
• Shoot one of six petals to pick a phase, and shoot the red weak points. Each clear heals 60. Patchworked is two bouncing flowers, with buttons dropping and nail barrages from finger-guns. The hands themselves do not hurt. Organic is a big red cell, then the heart. Blood cells die in one shot, and a virus dashes at you. Clay is a moving red thorn, a beam eyeball after several seconds, falling eyeballs, and clay. Paper puts one red petal on each side, with paper wads and planes. Polygonal starts at the two bottom petals, then the whole body, with blue spikes, red spikes that burst into pellets, and stickbugs that take several shots. Mechanical is two fist drones, a face barrage, drone bursts, and sawblades after a warning.
• There is a checkpoint every two petals. After all six, survive until the attacks slow to a stop.
