Deltarune How to Climb with Climbing Tools (Chapter 4)

How to Reach the Fight

  • Navigate through the **northwest corridor** past the slow-moving blue book enemy. Climb the nearby ladder and interact with the blue piano to trigger a bookshelf slide puzzle.
  • Solve the puzzle to open the hallway. Proceed right and engage the Guei (ghost enemy) – defeat or spare it. Another slide puzzle with green and pink pianos awaits in the next room.
  • After solving, collect **four musical notes** in the following area. Return to the far left hallway to gather four more notes.
  • With all eight notes, head to the doorway marked with the Delta Rune. Play the tune to unlock the boss chamber.

Beating Jackenstein

  • **Combat Strategy:** Use Act commands to disrupt his relentless attacks. Prioritize healing Kris while directing Susie to break his shield.
  • **Mid-Fight Power-Up:** During his charge phase, focus on defense – block or dodge until he overheats. Consult our Jackenstein Guide for detailed tactics.
  • **Reward:** Victory grants climbing tools, unlocking vertical exploration in later areas.
