Deltarune’s final patch before the release of Chapter 6 adds adjustable difficulty options to Chapter 5’s Shadow Crystal boss encounter. The update matters because it lets players tailor one of the chapter’s tougher optional battles, while offering an incentive for those choosing the more demanding version.

The new settings are described as “Nicer” and “Meaner” modes, with the latter increasing the challenge. Players who defeat the boss on the harder setting can receive a better reward, though the article does not specify its exact nature.
