Deltarune Secret: The Mouse Token
Hello everyone! Deltarune just came out, and I’ve been scouring it for secrets and easter eggs. Since the 24 hour embargo is up, I figure it’s probably OK to share a few that I’ve found. If you haven’t played Deltarune yet, go do that first! Suffice it to say that Toby has created a followup that’s worthy of Undertale. It’s available for free at https://www.deltarune.com/
OK, this first secret is a bit obscure. I was trying to figure out if the original Starwalker would say anything different if you talked to him a few times, and while doing that I discovered that if you start at the right side, when you ring the bell you are only frozen while the bird’s head is on screen. If you start running right just when it goes offscreen it’s possible to catch up with it, though it’s hard! If you almost catch him you get 40g, but if you catch him head on it’s different. The first time I did it I got this odd message:
I was using my controller at the time, so I decided to unplug it and try again. When I caught it again, this time I got an item:
It’s an OK piece of equipment (just raises your magic), so I figured nothing was special about it until I went back into the elevator in the castle and saw this guy.
Apparently he’s a doormouse. He takes the mouse token and lets you through the door.
Inside is a short path that leads to this small clearing. Not much here. The holes in the wall just squeak at you, but you can talk to the mouse wizard.
He says the wall is the Maucity, but since he’s a field mouse he has to stay out in the field. If you go into the hut he has a shop.
He has lots of great looking items for sale.
I bought a gigasalad, but it actually only restores 4hp. And if you try to buy any of the others you get this message:
He kind of raps on the menu a bit, and apologizes for being too short to get it for you (one of the chat options mentions he isn't the original shopowner).
I suspect there’s a way to get him to sell the other items, but I haven’t been able to figure it out.
Anyway, that’s it for this secret! There will probably be more over the next two weeks or so.
