I just now realized that the only reason Flowey could use Determination like humans is because he doesn’t have a physical SOUL like the others. Every monster who’s used Determination has a monster SOUL in them except for Flowey.
It's explained that Flowey came to life thank to injecting something that doesn't have a soul + the dust of Asriel, giving life to Flowey, Undyne could resist determinaiton seeing that she was revived with it, not injected
Therotically yeah they could. That would be an interesting concept. Robots are still made of magic like monsters however and that is why they are weak to LV.
boss monsters generate trace amounts of determination while in battle, my guess is that toby just wanted to have undyne play out like a legitimate anime protag by ignoring logic for a while
How could she have done that? Only 7 souls have appeared in the underground before frisk. 1st was chara who probably died before undyne was born, and the 6 after chara all got captured and are held by asgore.
The lab entries clearly show a buffer period where the monster is alive and well before beginning to melt. We have no idea how long Alphys took between the lab entries. I also theorize that Undyne's armor or all things is actually aiding her. She doesn't change that much in her Undying form, but her amor certainly does. Perhaps by hitting her over and over, you damaged her armor to the point where it lost some of its mass by breaking off, and therefore, the determination didn't have enough mass to keep the body from melting?
I would like to point out how DT is not just something that someone just has but also a feeling. It's hard to explain but think about it like this: You have a spaceship and you want it to be a powerful warship. You will need lasers or rockets (that's how much DT you have) but you still need to competent enough to use them effectively (that is how determined you feel). You can inject someone will gallons of DT but still not be able to out determine someone who feels strongly about something. This is why in a Neutral route Undying does not transform but in Genocide she does. She did not inject herself with DT; she simply knew that if you won everyone dies.
It's unstable and monster's bodies can't hold it due to little mass yet rather than the monsters dying and turning to dust the determination holds them together long enough for monsters to fuse with eachother to create enough mass.
Flowey is just different He’s neither human nor monster so he can absorb both types of souls and instead of melting from the determination Alphys injected Flowey with it instead awakened asriels consciousness from the dust on the flower
Think as DT as water and Magic as dust or dirt. What happens when you put too many water on dirt? It turns into mud. Howere, if you put water into a plant, it simply absorbs the water. That's the best way I have to describe
Basic way to describe their melting is that their body is trying to die and turn to Dust meanwhile their souls are trying to Stay together , probably causing extra cell group together Leaving them in the melted goo state like water
A small detail I noticed is that Undyne and Martlet both are able to handle determination without melting unless if taking enough damage and they also become atronger and Martlet becomes larger than before becuase they're both boss monsters
Being made of magic would be awesome. I could be any substance because of it, maybe Cosmos or Ether. garoShiny Now, maybe the monsters need more time to adapt to it. Perhaps new generations might be able to handle determination garoThink 🤗💗👌🏽🐉
Here's why i think this doesn't apply to Mettaton nor Axis: Axis is purely powered by AI. He doesn't have a soul nor possess any magic so injecting him with determination wouldn't do anything. Mettaton does have a soul but injecting him with determination wouldn't really work too. My reasoning for this is because Mettaton is a ghost possessing a robot. Imagine it like a puppet and a puppeteer. Inject the puppet, nothing happens. Inject the puppeteer, and Mettaton will just melt like other monsters. In Flowey's case, you need to remember that he was a golden flower from the flower patch that Ariel's dust was spread on when he died. His dust was spread on the flowers. When a golden flower was injected with determination, it might've triggered the dust that was on the flower and kinda fused with it using it as a physical vessel. The dust had the remains of Ariel's soul and magic. But this is all just a theory on what i think
Flowey isn't an algamete,sure he was also experiment but he was just turn into a normal flower which can handle determination without the syringe + when you fight flowey after the boss fight of photoshop flowey he turns to a regular flower
at the same time, monsters only seem to amalgamate when they become critically injured. for example, all the amalgamates were fallen down upon infection, and undyne only melts when you deal a fatal blow
they would probably melt regardless due to lacking mass, amalgamtes only end up surviving because the mash up of monsters can PHYSICALY contain the determination with total mass, like some kinda fucked up singularity
Wow, that's very interesting. Anyways here's how to make nice cream from Undertale Ingredients - Heavy cream - Whole milk - Cane sugar (for sweetness) - Vanilla extract - Salt - Chocolate drizzle which can be written with Tutoriel - Step 1. Combine the ingredients (except the chocolate) in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. - Step 2. Warm for 5 minutes, whisking often, until the sugar is dissolved. - Step 3. Transfer the mixture to a heat-proof bowl. - Step 4. Cover the bowl and chill for 2 hours to overnight. - Step 5. Churn the ice cream base in your ice cream maker for 20-30 minutes - Step 6. Freeze the ice cream for 2+ hours in the freezer. (Only if you're not making soft-serve nice cream) - Step 7. Use a spatula to transfer the ice cream out of the container, and into the cone. - Step 8. Write some really kind messaging on the ice cream with the chocolate drizzle. - Step 9. Serve it to your customers!
Hi garo,thank you for making that video about the secret golden bandana if you didn't make it I wouldn't have beaten Undertale yellow pacifist that easily!😅
A detail you might notice is that Frisk apparently has enough DETERMINATION to just walk through the barrier by themselves. Without absorbing any other SOULs. Lol.
In Glitchtale aka the Animation vid it shows that chara exarct frisk soul into a tiny orb and then in the part where sans is trying to get gaster back we can see that frisk soul is empty on the inside.
Considering that determination is (according to Alphys) what allows human souls to persist after death? Monsters melting could just be that same effect in a different form given that non-Boss Monster souls cannot exist outside their bodies. In theory that could mean determination doesn't actually cause a monster to melt on its own, it only happens if the monster should be dead and turned to dust when it has determination. After all we've only seen monsters melt due to DT when they should be dead, and Undyne is completely fine even though she has enough DT to cause this effect if you kill her (dusting after melting could be due to not enough mass to sustain a body large enough to hold her soul rather than having less DT than the amalgamates). And then in Deltarune all monsters apparently have determination (which could be a case of 'different world, different rules' meaning monsters don't melt due to it but still...)
I’m pretty sure it’s cause they don’t have souls. Think of it like this the soul is a battery and the determination is like electricity so the battery stores the electricity but since monsters don’t have souls all the determination is just overflowing and is scattered In their body and needs too be released so the monsters melt
I always thought undyne melted as her soul wasn’t as empowered to stop frisk after that final hit. Like during her determination high her soul just said “f it we ball” and ignored the effects of determination because she was too determined
I believe that THE GREAT PAPAYRUSS is able to use determination cause he is for sure DETERMIN to be in the royal guard, help the human, and make sans Pick His FREAKING SOCK!!!!
Injecting yourself with determination : -increases energy -boots strength -boots health -TECHNICALLY SPEAKING THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF STEROID'S JUST SAYIN.
The only reason that the amalgam is like that is that they were already dead and Alpys thought determination could bring them back but it obviously didn’t go well And Undyne just got a little to hot and used up all her revives
I like to think that they need a liquid component for properly living because monsters are made of magic dust but humans have blood and flowers have nectar
I wonder if thats what happened to Mettaton? Like, maybe Mettaton got the injection before getting in the armor, which allowed them to fuse with it, in turn creating a stable body they could use in place of their old one.
well, sadly no, mettaton is made of metal and magic, so while the shell wouldnt be affected, mettaton would melt and eventualy die if they didnt amalgamate with another monster
OK, so with that logic, wouldn’t they be able to like build and or find new forms with enough mass to handle determination for the monsters or would that just not work? I mean it clearly did for flowey/asreal
Over and over again it’s said that humans are way stronger than monsters. So for flowey to have more determination than clover (and potentially the other 5 humans) Alphys must’ve drowned flowey in DT or something he got DRUGGED bro
its probably actually the mass of the soul if the soul has not enough mass then the determination starts replacing the soul but instead of making a chara/frisk soul it just dies when it becomes 100% determination cuz its raw determination not soul determination
Undyne has more volume, not mass, mass is the amount of matter packed in one area, volume is the amount of space that matter covers, what monsters lack in physical capabilities they make up for it in magic but the major draw back is the lack of physical matter makes their molecular bonds weaker in which can make it harder to take on the effects of DT but due to the lack of physical mass it makes it easier to harness magic in summary monsters evolved to be glass canons so they could stand up to humans but humans adapted to use DT to the maximum which turned things in their favor it is an evolutionary race and so far the humans are winning the main thing is "evolution" It is not the soul that can't handle it. It's the vessel, which is why monster souls don't produce DT, the level of humans, monsters still have extremely tiny amounts of DT to live though
Undyne had Determination already, surviving in a Neutral route for an extra like 4 turns. She most likely **had** enough mass to hold onto it until you attacked her, most likely meaning that when you attack monsters their mass is lost. So Sans might actually be leaking determination after being slashed instead of blood or ketchup as many speculate. Even through his clearly defined depression he still tries to prevent timeline erasure, not giving up, clearly that's a mark of Determination.
I think absorbing a soul isn't necessarily the same as absorbing determination directly. And I don't remember the EXACT details on Flowey's origin, but didn't Asriel's ashes spill all over those flowers, then Alphys took one of them to the lab and injected it with determination, causing it to come to life?
Flowey is so overpowered as a flower but what if he was a tree 🤔 that would be terrifying (undertale yellow neatral route Flowey is way harder no wonder Flowey tried to kill Frisk 💀)
Im think the undyne determination is different, im thinks this determination is the only scenary for a natural mounster determiantion, becuase this active complety in the moment to she feels more determinated no because a experiment, and probably she can controll this because only in the death look like the other monsters with determination
Would you rather be made of magic instead of water?
Only if I can use it
Yeah! Then we can use said magic for cool things!
Magic would be pretty cool but only if I can survive it
My honest reaction: so, you've been busy, huh?
I mean… monsters only age if they have kids soooo
I just now realized that the only reason Flowey could use Determination like humans is because he doesn’t have a physical SOUL like the others. Every monster who’s used Determination has a monster SOUL in them except for Flowey.
and flowey still has asriels memories because the flower used was covered in his dust, technically making them two different people
Undyne the undying somehow gained determination 😂😂😂
It's explained that Flowey came to life thank to injecting something that doesn't have a soul + the dust of Asriel, giving life to Flowey, Undyne could resist determinaiton seeing that she was revived with it, not injected
@@delavanty There's a difference between Human determination and Monster determination
@@buszka695 I mean human determination is much greater but in theory they are the same component
That’s also why when they die, they don’t leave a corpse. All that’s left is dust.
So the dust is just the physical mass they have
You can't have determination without TERMINATION
Is that hazbin hotel reference?
DT to humans: oh cool time powers
DT to monsters: *S p a g h e t t i time*
Theoretically, couldn't Axis and mettaton handle determination since they're robots?
W Mettaton (RIP NEO)
Axis, yes
But Mettaton still has a "physical" soul, so it may harm him still
How does it work with ghosts?
Therotically yeah they could.
That would be an interesting concept.
Robots are still made of magic like monsters however and that is why they are weak to LV.
Axis has no soul, he is just an ai so you cant inject him with determination.
But i guess Mettaton could handle it
Axis could be Mettaton couldn’t because he is a Ghost monster possessing a robot
Undyne having that much Determination and not melting until you kill her has me convinced that she has unknowingly absorbed a human soul in the past
I'm pretty sure that it was minorly explained that she was born with the determination which is why she could withstand it
boss monsters generate trace amounts of determination while in battle, my guess is that toby just wanted to have undyne play out like a legitimate anime protag by ignoring logic for a while
How could she have done that? Only 7 souls have appeared in the underground before frisk. 1st was chara who probably died before undyne was born, and the 6 after chara all got captured and are held by asgore.
Is the lab entry acknowledging that the fallen monsters are awake and seem fine a different entry from the one which says that they've begun to melt?
The lab entries clearly show a buffer period where the monster is alive and well before beginning to melt. We have no idea how long Alphys took between the lab entries. I also theorize that Undyne's armor or all things is actually aiding her. She doesn't change that much in her Undying form, but her amor certainly does.

I think the word is physical matter, not mass.
Flowey is just different
He’s neither human nor monster so he can absorb both types of souls and instead of melting from the determination Alphys injected Flowey with it instead awakened asriels consciousness from the dust on the flower
Imagine being amonster and randomly meltong because you told yourself you will definetly not lose the duolingo 300 day streak (you're too determined)
"in monsters it's different, mass is not the same as size" yeah everything in the universe works this way, mass is not size, there is a difference
Monsters just aren't d e n s e enough
Think as DT as water and Magic as dust or dirt. What happens when you put too many water on dirt? It turns into mud. Howere, if you put water into a plant, it simply absorbs the water. That's the best way I have to describe

Now, maybe the monsters need more time to adapt to it. Perhaps new generations might be able to handle determination garoThink 🤗💗👌🏽🐉
Perhaps! Gaster may have been on to something
BUT DEN HOW WILL I SAVE
Underground logic and physics seem to behave rather differently than their surface world counterparts!🤨🤯🥴 ...My brain hurts...!
Haha yuuuup, it gets confusing
I mean, Undyne doesn’t actually die from determination, she does from *you* killing her.
Here's why i think this doesn't apply to Mettaton nor Axis:
Axis is purely powered by AI. He doesn't have a soul nor possess any magic so injecting him with determination wouldn't do anything.
Mettaton does have a soul but injecting him with determination wouldn't really work too. My reasoning for this is because Mettaton is a ghost possessing a robot.

Boop the nomsies also hi
NOT NOMSIES
And hello
In simple terms or summary of this:
Obtain a physical form to have DT.
No physical form= melting
Noice 🤷♂️
When you realize that the real villain of undertale is Alphis
Frisk and Flowey: *Just built different.*

Hi garo,thank you for making that video about the secret golden bandana if you didn't make it I wouldn't have beaten Undertale yellow pacifist that easily!😅
Bro monsters have a body made of magic from their soul, and determination is extracted to their soul
A detail you might notice is that Frisk apparently has enough DETERMINATION to just walk through the barrier by themselves. Without absorbing any other SOULs. Lol.
Song is from axis' fight
Just a little science lesson. Just cuz someone is bigger than you does not mean they have more mass
I had this same question and this short answered it, thanks!
Happy to help!
It Makes All SENCE! Finnaly i don't have to research about this topic!
"They don't have enough mass"
Wait does that mean high-mass objects like planets can handle DETERMINATION?
In Glitchtale aka the Animation vid it shows that chara exarct frisk soul into a tiny orb and then in the part where sans is trying to get gaster back we can see that frisk soul is empty on the inside.

I just realized something technically if a human has way too much determination than what they're supposed to they would turn into an amalgamate
Injecting yourself with determination :
-increases energy
-boots strength
-boots health

Monsters just cant handle determination
Papyrus:
they seem to only melt when they're dying though.
Wow, you didn't skip school, great job
Haha thanks
But surprisingly Undyne doesn't melt until we kill her. Yes she will definitely die later even if we die,but its still shows how powerful is Undyne.
The only reason that the amalgam is like that is that they were already dead and Alpys thought determination could bring them back but it obviously didn’t go well
And Undyne just got a little to hot and used up all her revives
I like to think that they need a liquid component for properly living because monsters are made of magic dust but humans have blood and flowers have nectar
Snowdrake is a poor monster soul. Inside the true lab
Asgore sees this:”alphis… you failed? Try again with this shorts theology”
flowey doesnt melt because humans are mostly water and flowey is a flower which means he most likely gets watered
Wait. I thought it was that monster souls couldn't handle DT not that they don't have the mass. Was i misled or is it a mix of both?
Music is: Guns blazing from yellow soul. U dont gotta thank me
Because their soul can't handle it.😅
Mass is weight, not size, you're saying that magic is lighter than water
But monsters have magic 💀
But people have weapons ☠️
But flowers have resets 👹
Bc of this video the sixbone au is more understandable
The true lab monsters remind me of infection AUs, just less creepy
I wonder if thats what happened to Mettaton? Like, maybe Mettaton got the injection before getting in the armor, which allowed them to fuse with it, in turn creating a stable body they could use in place of their old one.
well, sadly no, mettaton is made of metal and magic, so while the shell wouldnt be affected, mettaton would melt and eventualy die if they didnt amalgamate with another monster
Metaton: so i want even more now
Thanks for the explanation
My pleasure! Thanks for the kind comment
Humans can handle it!
*_the flower was a mistake_*
Monster's are like balloons, they are hollow
OK, so with that logic, wouldn’t they be able to like build and or find new forms with enough mass to handle determination for the monsters or would that just not work? I mean it clearly did for flowey/asreal

he got DRUGGED bro
“Determination injection”
😳
Wait so if they melted together and they didn't die because of that,maybe the reason you don't find Kanako in the true lab is because...she...ohno.mp3
its probably actually the mass of the soul
if the soul has not enough mass then the determination starts replacing the soul but instead of making a chara/frisk soul it just dies when it becomes 100% determination cuz its raw determination not soul determination
Cool 😁👍
Thanks

Just like drugs kids, dont overdose determination!!!
So a comically sized monster would be able to handle determination also does this mean monsters can jump comically high
well Floweys creepy face looks melted right?
I might be stupid but determination cant be injected as thats is frisks/charas souls and they never lose it it is the blue soul that gets injected
What about asriel?Asriel literally absorb Chara soul but when he is wounded too much and he die without even melted??Turn into flowey instead?weird
I think absorbing a soul isn't necessarily the same as absorbing determination directly. And I don't remember the EXACT details on Flowey's origin, but didn't Asriel's ashes spill all over those flowers, then Alphys took one of them to the lab and injected it with determination, causing it to come to life?
Flowey is so overpowered as a flower but what if he was a tree 🤔 that would be terrifying (undertale yellow neatral route Flowey is way harder no wonder Flowey tried to kill Frisk 💀)
Alphys is a dinosaur and undyne is a fish, doesn't that mean they have determination also asgore, toriel is a goat they could too.
Volume and mass are different, undyne has more volume but less density
Determination 💀
Why determination? Toby fox, i didn't understand your game
Dust is light to, maybe because of their dust?
Thats why Asgore dont absorb human souce
Makes way more sense than remnant
Does that means that frisk cound one handed lift asgore?
So robots can have determination oh no
*This guy shorts is only undertale yellow...*
I also made lots of Palworld, Cult of the Lamb, Don't Starve shorts
Why not just give them like extremely little amounts of determination, there has to be a ratio of mass to possible determination without melting
It’s actually more based on density
So they just turn into goo creatures, it’s changed time
Im think the undyne determination is different, im thinks this determination is the only scenary for a natural mounster determiantion, becuase this active complety in the moment to she feels more determinated no because a experiment, and probably she can controll this because only in the death look like the other monsters with determination
What is that first ones name?
