Returning to the dark world

[Meg]

So i just beat Deltarune chapter 2 and sadly i cannot go back to the cyber world to beat the hidden boss, this was not a problem in the first chapter but since my last save was castle town and then i exited the dark world, i now cannot get back in. I cannot even go back in through the library door as it just says "no reason to go back in". Toby i want to fight the hidden boss, this is a big oversight as i missed so much, please let us return there in an update, maybe to go through the door in the library and end up in queens castle, pleas

there are people who've figured out how to edit the save file to get back. I don't remember, but it should be somewhere on here.

agreed, quite an oversight in my opinion. I was going into the final boss with hte full intent of going back once i'm finished, but oh well. Now im scouting internet for anyone who's made save back-ups cuz im too stoopid to make ones myself lol

same, i wanted to go back to look for things but realised only to late that once you save at castle town, you cant, you gotta back up your save when your at the final boss in the dark world

Could you provide a link to where it is? as it sucks because the cotton guy said i only have 1 dark shard or something and obviously if i start a new save then it wont count me beating Jevil unless i start from the very beginning and do everything over again, just for 1 boss which is a secret boss, meaning if you didn't know about it then would would have to play it again which you wouldn't because its a secret.

Save file location
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\DELTARUNE

Use Notepad or a similar text editor to edit the second-to-last line in "filech2_0" to 166 (Queen's Castle entrance), then when you're done, save and change it back to 71 (Castle Town). (The main menu location name will show the previous location name at first, but it's normal behavior.)

tats brilliant thanks, so what happens then if i revert to the entrance and then finish the game from there without changing it back to castle town? would things be corrupt or would i have basically time travelled?

Not sure, never tried it.

IIRC, there's a giant message that shows up when you try to save in Castle Town basically along the lines of "Hey, you can't go back to the Dark World anymore, maybe think about that before you overwrite your save".

This is also the exact same as it was for chapter 1. Once you went to fight King, you were locked in, no Jevil for you. Now they give you a warning explicitly about it, and you still missed it. Maybe it's not the game's fault.

this can't be true, because once you've defeated the queen and your in castle town, your no longer in the cyber world so you cant go back even if the message is true so its still an oversight, once you save in castle town it may say something like that but it dose not matter because its already to late, and i don't remember chapter 1 having any such message as i played it recently there is only a save right before the king and there is no warning, once you've beaten the king you can talk to everyone but not go back any further then the thrown room so you couldn't fight Jevil even if you wanted to.

I heard that the chapter 2 warning was added with an update and wasn't in the initial release.

Chapter 1 doesn't need a warning because you can't save after defeating the Chaos King, so you can still fight Jevil whenever you want to with your chapter 1 save file. (Seam in chapter 2 will even encourage you to go back to your chapter 1 save file to fight Jevil if you haven't yet, since you can transfer Jevil items with the hole on the west side of Castle Town.)
