No Hit Omega Flowey

So... this happened.
Undertale's Omega Flowey without taking any hit. Done with a GameCube controller and a Mayflash PC and Wii U adapter.
Check the whole description for a pastebin of every possible RNG + how to avoid the attacks.

I've done lots of hard ILs that took forever to complete, from Champion's Road in Super Mario 3D World in 141 seconds,
that took me 1 whole month full of attempts, to Mario Maker levels that took around 15 hours, but this was by far the
most frustrating one of them all.
This, from start to finish, took me 97 hours (I timed it from the very beginning) including practice and every attempt.
It wasn't even that what made it so frustrating, but the fact that I had no idea if it was ever gonna happen.
In the last 2-3 days I was about to quit because I felt like it was too crazy for this to actually happen, even if I had
close attempts.
But honestly, I must say that for the most part, this was super fun to do =)

One of the biggest problems were the resets. Everytime you get out of the first section, whenever you open the game you are in the second one, and you have to edit the game files in order to set the game at the first one again. What I did was, I opened the game 10ish times when I had a save file in the first section, so they all started there. It didn't lag at all, and it made the resets much much faster. If that didn't work, I probably would have given up.

This whole fight is a RNG (Random Number Generator, basically luck) fest, there isnt a single second where you are safe,
and bad RNG can easily make you get hit no matter what. So this was pretty much a huge grind, to get good RNG in 10
minutes, and perform really hard play at the same time.

I'm writting all this when the video is rendering, and my heart hasn't even calmed down since the very last 5 seconds of
the fight.

During the last days I've learnt a huge amount of knowledge of this fight, and I'd be kinda sad if no one could ever
know what I was thinking at every moment of the fight, since there are a bunch of things I had to think of.
I know it will kinda go to waste, but I'll try to explain the different possible RNGs, what to do in every attack and
stuff like that. You can take it as random knowledge, maybe it can help you do this fight casually (doubt it, since it's
really easy casually) or you can be a crazy guy like me that might want to attempt this too.

I'll get into the general information of the fight first, since it's important to know before getting into the attacks.

Even if most people would probably segment the fight in 7 parts, I think of it was simply 2.
The first one would be the 6 first phases, and the second one the very last one.

The first day I attempted this, I thought that it was gonna be 100% impossible to actually complete a damageless run of
the 2 phases, since even getting out of the first 20 seconds without getting hit was super hard.
In the first phase there are 6 sections, and I managed to do the very first one in about 2 hours. I thought that I'd keep
grinding until I was able to get a really good run up to the 6th section, and call it done.
That happened for the first time the 3rd day, but I wasn't satisfied, since I had improved a lot. So I tried to practice
the second phase (the one were you actually hit Flowey).

It was waaaay harder than everything else. Every attack comes out earlier, meaning that in the last 2-3 seconds of one
attack, the next one already comes out, making most of the strats I had basically useless, so everything was much harder.
I was about to give up again, but I kept practicing nonstop for hours and hours, until I decided that I'd grind runs for
the rest of my life if it was necessary (I know how it sounds, believe me).

After that a full week of attempts came, one of the most frustrating weeks of my life, since it seemed I was never gonna
do it.

Now, putting my struggling appart, I'll get into more detail about every attack.

Read the pastebin for information of every attack, and what to do in situations.

As expected, some people have said things like "now do Sans" or stuff like that. I actually have done Sans damageless as well, but it's way easier than it looks. You can avoid his hardest attack (the one where he throws you to a wall) by just holding the 4 arrow keys in the keyboard, so after that it became a grind to get to the final attack and do it without taking damage. Took 1-2 hours.
I didn't upload the video since I saw no point on doing it, because it had been uploaded by NoHit Runs already.

Also, sorry for not having the best quality, I hope this does :/

And by the way, if for some reason you found this video and have no idea what's Undertale about, go play it, it's an amazing game, don't judge it only for this fight :)

Souls: Let us heal you!
Frisk: Yeah, cool, whatever.

Just imagine what kind of nightmare this was for Flowey. First, the child dodged ALL of his attacks. Then, they just straight out destroyed him while not being hit at all. THEN, they started to troll the poor megalomaniac, drunk with power flower in the most annoying frickin fashion possible in that situation. AND THEN, he lost to his stolen souls. Bad time for Flowey. Bad time.

You called for help, but didn't need it.

How to kill Omega Flowey in 1 sec: grab a TV remote and press off.

[XiaoAndyPugMan]

I can just imagine the human SOULs standing back and going, "Here, take these band-aids and flowers and... oh. Um... guess you don't need our help."

[Hibiki_Kuze_]

Lol the final part when you keep moving around in the circle and flowey says "would you stop that!" flowey really is a well made character and is one of the best fourth wall breaking character i have seen

[alanbareiro]

That depressing moment when you can't hit a 8 year old child even with save states.

[ultimazillarex]

Dude, you are more a god then Flowey could ever hope to be.

[etzstyy]

this guy must do a run of undertale for breakfast

9:30
The way he just... stares at the "LOAD FAILED" is a solid gold detail. I freaking love it every time I see his face as he grows even more concerned, taking a moment to just think to himself "this isn't supposed to be happeNING-" as he gets panicked. Toby Fox really took into consideration how Flowey would act if something went wrong.

Knowing that someone out there managed to beat this boss without taking a single hit, it fills you with determination.

[cytherexs]

*You called for help...
“Help! I’m at full HP and need nothing more than to get past this dude”

[doctornewell]

*You called for help
*But you didn't need it

What makes Sans hard is the lack of invincibility frames, as well as his "karma retribution" which poisons you. slowly leeching away at your health. But his attacks are tame and fair, as well as predictable. Flowey's attacks are pretty random and hard as balls to dodge. Easier to survive, yes, but WAY harder to dodge.
So doing a no-hit Sans fight would be child's play after this.

[jakedge]

seeing someone beat this ludicrous boss without taking damage
fills you with

and salt.



lots and lots of salt.

dang... i can barely dodge a fly from a froggit...

100k Views in not much more than a week, that's crazy!
It's been really fun reading every single one of your comments, it really felt like the 97 hours were totally worth it :)

There have been lots of comments asking questions that are answered already in the description, so please check it out along with the pastebin I made, I hope it helps.
I'll try to explain a few curiosities to make this comment a little more interesting..

First, something that even surprises myself, is related to the green soul. I've read lots of comments about me "hugging" the green soul in two parts of the video, 5:50 and 9:42. It's really interesting, because in every single other attempt, I did that with the cyan soul, since It's the color I like the most. And I mean, EVERY single other attempt. This one was the first and only one where instead of the cyan soul, I went following the green one. I like to think that it gave me a little more luck for the final phase :P
While still being at the fight I realized that had happened, that's why I went around the green soul at 9:42, kinda like saying thanks (...).

Second, this might sound a bit more arbitrary, but after 95 hours doing this, I realized something.
I took my headphones off, and I was surprised on how much better I was at dodging the attacks.
I still don't know if it really made a difference, but I'm pretty sure it made me able to dodge the attacks more consistently, and I noticed that I could react to every attack a little earlier.
As I said, it might have been a coincidence, but only 2 hours from that, I was able to finally do it, so who knows..
There was a downside to this, which was the Gamecube controller. It's common knowledge that gamecube controllers make a lot of noise, and while at the first 6 sections that wasn't a problem (since I only had to move the control stick), it kinda was at the last one. I had to constantly mash A to hit the Fight buttons, and that honestly made quite a lot of noise.
Luckly, it wasn't a big problem after all.

Third, a very small detail regarding the previous 2 curiosities. You can see at 5:40 that I stopped for a few seconds. That was probably me thinking something like "here again, I hope this is the one!", but, as I said earlier, I had the headphones off, even though you can see just a couple seconds later, that I did kind of a soul dance following the music.
That was simply me guessing where that small part of the song would be, and I kind of nailed it after hearing it many times, didn't I?.
Actually I was around 0.2 seconds off, which makes it better, since I recorded with OBS, and that program has around 0.2seconds audio delay, making the dance look perfect.
Might sound dumb, but I smiled the first time I saw it :)

Finally, I probably should talk about the few comments saying that this is fake. Either cheated, or spliced.
There isn't much I can say about that. There isn't a way to TAS Undertale, and there isn't any cheat that would help me doing this (I think), but I understand that you might not believe that this is legit, since it might look too hard. If that's the case, please read the description, I explained there everything I went through while attempting this :)
And regarding the legendary LASER that supposedly makes this impossible.
No, it is true that you can get a very rare RNG with a Laser + Flamethrower, making you get it 99% of the times, but that's simply something that can happen rarely, but it's not necessary. Again, it's explained in the pastebin of the description.

That's it, I really hope you liked the video! And from now on, let's try not to make 70% of the comments bad jokes about me getting hit at 8:15 please :P

[Darkmage]

Sans: "Do you want to have a bad time?"
Frisk: "I've flawlessly dodged Omega Flowey."
Sans: "....fuck this I'm out."
