Bowserslave | Undertale Muffet No Damage (Pacifist + Post Battle Dialogue) @Bowserslave | Uploaded December 2015 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Note: I decided to test some stuff at the end of her battle out of curiosity. Turns out she has a bunch of extra dialogue at the end of her battle if you still mess around after its over. Beyond that I wanted to see what would happen if you ate a Spider Donut after finishing the fight. Turns out Toby didn't think that far ahead because it's the exact same dialogue prompt that comes up.
So Muffet's a similar fight to Mad Dummy in the case of a boss fight with a unique mechanic, but in regards to the story serves no purpose. There's methods of course to skip the fight altogether if you keep a Spider Donut from all the way back from the Ruins [or grind 9999g to even skip the boss encounter altogether and move forward], but of course we don't want that for the sake of the run.
Attacks (In order of appearence)
-Phase 1 Attack 1
Very basic attacks to dodge. A kind of "tutorial" attack because the majority of her attacks will look this way. For a large majority of the fight up till the Third Phase you can dodge these attacks by just standing still. I move left or right for the sake of vibbing to the music.
-Phase 1 Attack 2
Partly more complex spider arrangement, but still very basic to dodge.
-Phase 1 Attack 3
Now they're stacking 2 spiders on top of each other. It's still the same speed and shows a pre-cursor of one of the later attacks.
-Phase 1 Attack 4
The donuts are now introduced here. And it's a weak introduction considering if you just stand in the center they'll never hit you.
-Cupcake Monster 1/3
Alternate between the middle and down [or up] and then you'll be in the chase phase. It's really easy to panic and keep wanting to rush up, but honestly even taking my time I've never been hit by the monster once but from the spider's because I tried rushing through. Stay up high before the screen moves and plan your path before charging. There's larger gaps here and slower speed so not much to worry about.
-Phase 2 Attack 1
Stay in the middle for the first and last attack and then move up to easily dodge the rest
-Phase 2 Attack 2
Basic pattern but now the spiders are moving faster
-Phase 2 Attack 3
Stay in the center and just move up so you'll dodge the incoming "Power Gauntlet" attack that swings forward and swings back like a boomerang. For ease we'll just call it a boomerang.
-Phase 2 Attack 4
There's a few way to dodge this attack. My methods to hug the far right and then move up to dodge the oncoming middle boomerang. At that point you just do circle motions [I guess square" motions] from the middle and top [bottom might work too if thats more comfortable] .
-Cupcake Monster 2/3
This time it's alternating from bottom to top and etc instead of just from middle to either direction. The set ups a little faster with less breaks [meaning 2 lines being empty] but still value patience over rushing through
-Phase 3 Attack 1
Same basic pattern but now moving at their fastest
-Phase 3 Attack 2
Stay above twice, then stay below twice, and finally the middle twice
-Phase 3 Attack 3
The tactic I did before won't work here. Instead go up after the 1st attack goes past you, and do the same circular [square] motion from before to dodge them
-Phase 3 Attack 4
You can take the motions here a bit slower or do them fast paced like I did
-Phase 3 Attack 5
This is all of the attacks now but it's not too bad. Stay in the safe spot shown here, and then go back in the middle. The rest is easy to dodge from there
-Cupcake Monster 3/3
Pretty much identical to the 2nd phase only slightly faster and less safe spots
Attempts: First Try
I did a few practice runs because I practiced Muffet back in November, and then did it again when my short film "The Social Fight Pit" was completed (Which you should check out if you haven't) to repractice. I either overestimated this boss or did 1 too many practice runs.
