Ready to explore the Dark World? IGN's Deltarune guide will walk you through each step in the story so far, including every crucial character interaction, battle, and puzzle solution.
Currently, Chapters 1 to 5 of Deltarune are available for players to dig into, each offering hours of gameplay and plenty of secrets. Once a player has completed a chapter, they can continue onto the next or choose a save file from a previous chapter.
Below, you can find links out to IGN's complete Deltarune walkthrough, split into sections for each chapter and location in the game. We've also got individual key item guides and boss guides to help you get as much as possible out of this gem of a game.
Deltarune's Completion Data
At Deltarune's Chapter Select Screen, you'll be shown a list of all currently available chapters, with each chapter menu allowing you to use one of 3 Save Files. The Chapter Select will also denote a gold star next to a chapter when it has been completed in a particular save file, allowing you to transfer that data to the next chapter.
Additionally, there is a 3x5 diagram in the bottom right corner of the Chapter Select Screen, noting which of the three save files has logged the defeat of each Chapter's Secret Boss and the Shadow Crystals you get from defeating each one. This info is permanently logged to each Save Slot, and if you create a new file on that slot that doesn't rely on a previous chapter's save data, you'll still be able to acquire the rewards without having to fight that boss (which can be found in a hole on the left side of Castle Town).
