Building on Undertale’s massive acclaim, Toby Fox ventures further with Deltarune. This spiritual successor unfolds in a parallel universe, retaining thematic echoes and familiar faces from its predecessor while carving its own narrative path.

The mischievous Annoying Dog, a humorous mascot representing Toby Fox in Undertale, resurfaces in Deltarune Chapter 4. This playful canine introduces an unexpected climbing challenge amidst ancient ruins. Below we detail the encounter’s mechanics and rewards.

Locating the Canine Challenger

Post-defeat of Jackenstein, acquire climbing gear and return to Old Man Gerson’s Study. Ascend the western staircase to discover twin passages. The rightmost entry leads to a chamber featuring monumental pillars. Approach the structure’s base to trigger the canine’s dramatic entrance.

Conquering the Vertical Race

The race commences as both competitors spot a chest atop the pillars. Utilize charged jumps (hold interaction button) to traverse gaps. Strategic lateral movements reveal hidden paths – initial obstacles require detouring right, then left. Floating hazards demand precise timing as you navigate three-dimensional surfaces.

Midway through, white projectiles appear. Evade these by hugging the right edge before resuming ascent. Despite temporary setbacks during complex maneuvers, the final stretch offers recovery opportunities. Though the column collapses beneath your rival, the persistent pup employs elongating stilts to claim victory – though his true prize proves unexpectedly amusing.

Race Completion Rewards

Claim the summit’s treasure to obtain the Dog Dollar – currency featuring canine imagery that progressively depreciates across chapters. This humorous item nods to Undertale’s economy while maintaining Deltarune’s signature wit.
