so apparently it has 2 meanings, one is that they are spare-able (if its even a word) second is they are one shot i guess ya learn something new everyday
@LeSteveLST kind of. From what other people have told me, in Undertale having a yellow name always means you can spare them (with the exception of Sans and Asgore) but in Undertale yellow it means you can spare them or they will die if you hit a single shot (or both)
In UTY when an enemy's name is yellow it means that you can either spare them or kill them in one hit. for example with normal enemies if you get them to half hp and do your next attack weak, it'll still deduct the remaining health from the enemy regardless of how strong or weak the attack was. and that goes for Zenith Martlet and Genocide Ceroba.
Oh cool. Although, now that I think about it on the off camera attempt where I killed Martlet with 3/6 bullets their name wasn't yellow. Their name also wasn't yellow on the first recorded attempt where they were 1hp. There's probably some weird mechanic happening there I'm not aware of though
I'm pretty sure only Sans does that. Although, in the Sans fight the mercy button is also yellow Edit: I just saw that you meant in Undertale Yellow. I'm very unfamiliar with the Yellow mechanics so you're probably right
Yeah it probably is, but it's still funny to think the devs changed how yellow names work specifically for this fight to show you it's way too late to turn back
Yeah, but at least with Sans something happened when you spared. Martlet is the only enemy I can think of who has a yellow name but doesn't react at all to sparing
Quick update: Since recording this I've done it legit, but I couldn't get a yellow name. My current theory is that you can't get a yellow name if you use the checkpoint, so outside of no hits and speedruns you probably won't see legit footage of this
@@FactsAndPain Some eneimes do way too much damage like the bull one AND THAT SNAKE IN A VASE I HATE THAT BECUSE THE GAME GIVES YOU NO IDEA HOW TO DEFEATE IT! LIKE HOW IM SUPPOSED KNOW IM FORCED CLICK DENIE 3 TIMES!
So true! I had to look up how to beat the snake after like 10/15 minutes of trying! Pressing deny twice isn't too bad, but having to press it twice in a row is really weird
Same! At least you didn't have to wait for the entire end of geno, then put your save file back, modify the save so you can't die, do 3 attempts and then realize it was all for nothing (apart from 15k views apparently)
(Since it’s lame that there’s no mercy option I made some dialogue for a potential mercy ending so enjoy!) W-What? You’re sparing me? Why? Why me?! You killed everyone else! And yet you spare me?! … But a part of me thinks If you spared me Then you do have some good in you And you let me go when I begged for mercy when you could’ve easily killed me. I know you won’t change but maybe in another life We could’ve been close friends … You never told me your name What is it? … Clover huh? That’s a nice name Nice to meet you clover I can feel everything in me melting So just promise me one thing clover Don’t kill anyone else please For me? (If you say I promise) Thank you clover So from now on D-Do the right thing (Slow dialogue) Clover (She turns to dust and you get the Asgore pacifist ending but if you say Go to hell) I should’ve known You don’t really mean this spare do you? You only care about yourself. You’re just seeing what happens. So goodbye clover. (Clover’s soul gets hit by feathers over and over until he dies and there is special game over dialogue) I’m sorry clover Maybe in another time We’ve could’ve been friends.
I love the Devilovania style of accepting how horrible the current situation is but understanding the chain of events that sparing one person would lead to Clover does tell Martlet their name back in Snowdin though when Martlet looks through the resident list. It's still good though
Yeah, I was hoping for a Devilovania kind of thing, where you gain the option of stopping geno, even if Martlet still dies to the syrum wearing off. Like a failed pacifist kinda thing but failed geno instead
@@FactsAndPainClosure is more-so fullfilling your curiosity, you got there, name was yellow, can't spare? well, dissapointing but atleast you now know that the name just means a one-shot, and that is CLOSURE.
Thanks you. When i saw this i didn't understand what that means, but i didn't want to ruin my genocide run. When i finish it i really didn't want to fuck with this bird again.
Great video, thanks for digging into this through the game files, I was curious about this too and couldn't really look into it myself. I was streaming this game recently, and came across something else really cool, through total luck, I was actually able to get Zenith's health down to a point RIGHT before her forced "Final" attack, endure one more standard attack, and kill her BEFORE she ever got a chance to use her final scripted attack. I'm curious about the exact values to recreate this, but won't be able to look into it myself for some time. Would you be interested in looking into it? It may be really useful to speedrunners, in a lot of games its called a "Desperation Move Skip", or a "DM Skip." The footage is on the Genocide playthrough on my channel if you're at all curious. Thanks again for making this!
Yeah, I'd be happy to do that! I can do a run where I don't shoot Martlet with the yellow soul and add up each shot's damage to work out Martlet's max HP. I can then work out the damage per yellow soul hit and then work out the health Martlet was on when you performed the skip
@@FactsAndPain You are awesome, thanks so much! I subscribed by the way, I love pages where people play around with game files. Hope you keep finding cool stuff!
I probably won't keep uploading stuff like this, I'll probably make more things like the Undyne video I recently made because this channel to me isn't about gaining subscribers or anything, I just wanna document some personal projects. Still, it means a lot Also I'm pretty sure Martlet has 800HP, I just did a run where Martlet died after taking 800 dmg and 5 pellet shots (because you have to hit at least 4 pellets). I'll work out how much damage the pellets do next and then I should be able to work out the big shot damage and when the desperation attack is triggered
Actually, I can do you one better. As I don't have the time to test anything right now the best I can do is check the highest percentage I've seen the desperation attack activate at. The highest I've seen is 8%, which probably means it activates at 10% or 80hp. Through some bad calculations I would estimate that the pellets (yellow soul attacks) deal 3 dmg, so if you get Martlet to 81-100hp, deal 66 damage and then hit at least 5-7 pellets on the next attack, you should be able to kill. I'll look more into it tomorrow and probably make a video on it eventually (if you don't mind, I wouldn't make it without your permission as it was your idea)
I think your attempt confirms this, as you took martlet to 14% (112hp) with your attack, landed 22 pellet hits (66 damage) during the attack, getting Martlet to 46 hp and then dealt 66 damage. This assumes that (as a big shot deals 7 or 8 hits) a big shot deals 7 * 3 (21) or 8 * 3 (24) dmg
Yes, but in most instances a yellow name also means you can spare them. It's like that for all of Undertale (barring Sans and Asgore) and I think all of yellow apart from Martlet and Ceroba
I wish my coding was that dignified. I just recycled some c++ code I made for an upcoming video. All the code did was press z twice and then press x. That in combination with me modifying my save file to get 100 defense let the game play itself
That's fair honestly, especially as it took roughly half an hour to work out what code to use for inputting (if you include me coding it in python too)
Personally, I'm bad at the timing. I would need to concentrate too much on getting the timing, which makes me really bad at dodging attacks. Of course, when I'm cheating I don't need to dodge attacks but still, I can't time it
I think that she should've been sparable in a sense like you get a turn before the boss fight starts and you can spare her and in the end when you two get to asgore she injects you with the sygrine just to overload your soul than you F*cking melt or something and if you spare her she could punch trough the box and crush the soul herself (I know that makes you think why she doesn't do that all the time but same with sans dunkin on you)
I guess with sans, it's the idea behind a betrayal kill, where if the player gets the opponent to a sparable position (specifically with acts) then the next attack will be guaranteed to kill (unless the player misses, which makes it still not make sense but it's the best explanation I have)
If you mean the 1000 def, I modified my personal save to get it. If you mean the crash, that happened to me personally, twice. I know now that it only happens if you press a frame perfect input, which just makes it hurt more
So, I was recording a video on this game on my own channel, (im not gonna mention its name because I'm not gonna promote something that isn't on my own channel, and because the profile im using right now is not my same channel) and I checked how long i recorded it, and the Zenith Martlet fight took about 4-5 hours, so basically I played that boss for a really long time, but I eventually completed it. So I can feel about 1/3 of your pain, im sorry you had to do that fight so many times you had to cheat dude. Anyways sorry for the rambling
I had no right to cheat compared to your 4-5 hours. The only decent reason I actually had to cheat is that my wrist started hurting (and still does) because the auto fire option is very hidden in 1.0. I'm gonna go back and beat it some when though
I don't deserve your mercy, it didn't even take half an hour. I had no reason to quit when I did Edit: I realise now it sounds like I was saying that I quit after half an hour. I didn't mean that. I spent hours trying originally, but after quitting and making this video I tried again and beat it after half an hour
That's fair, I might actually change it soon but it doesn't get the same point across. Thinking about it now I could have Martlet's yellow name in the middle and get rid of the picture of phase 1 Martlet I will say though, I never thought this video would appear in people's recommended, I was fine with a spoiler thumbnail as I thought it would only be found if someone searched for "zenith Martlet" or something like that
Is this better? I feel like the Martlet's name shouldn't spoil anything as I'm not talking about a specific fight or anything. Plus it makes sense as the only proof I had that you could spare Martlet was that their name is yellow Edit: Seems like it's taking a while to update so I shouldn't have asked instantly =/
@@DatDeadMemerNo, if a name is yellow if you hit atleast 1 shot, then they instantly die, the yellow name just means you can end the enemy in 1 more turn.
I'm not really making videos for subscribers or anything. I made this one because I thought it would help some people out but most of my other videos will be me documenting personal projects, mostly so that I can look back on them later (but if people find the video funny then that's a bonus). Also, I'm not doing anything too fancy with video editing so if you want I can show you my process
Oh wait they cheated? Either way, all I needed was footage of someone else getting Martlet with a yellow name so I guess cheated footage still works. Even if they cheated, I would still feel bad about using the footage without crediting it. However, if I were to make the video again I wouldn't use that footage. Thanks for saying
Besides, I can't talk. My next video is going to be called "How to automate Undyne's attacks" or "How to script Undyne's attacks" or something along those lines

Wdym? You can attack bosses in pacifist as long as you don't kill them

@@LeSteveLST normal enemies can be spared when they're at low enough hp, the devs confirmed that the yellow name on bosses is a glitch
@@concernedlego897...what-
Just like with Genocide Ceroba, you can’t spare Zenith Martlet. Their names turning yellow just show that they’re one hit away from dying.

I'm pretty sure only Sans does that. Although, in the Sans fight the mercy button is also yellow
