How to find the secret FRIEND encounter and dialogue in Deltarune Chapter 5
Deltarune Chapter 5's latest patch reinstated an elusive character called FRIEND, a shadowy feline presence that has lingered throughout the game's narrative but was missing from the chapter until now. The update finally grants players the opportunity to confront this mysterious entity and uncover cryptic clues about its intentions toward the main character Kris.
Accessing the encounter requires obtaining a hidden Egg and navigating to a specific platforming section within the Flower Kingdom's geography. After triggering the encounter (which deals damage), players can pursue secret dialogue by reaching Pink's shop following victory over the chapter's optional boss. Pink's conversation obliquely acknowledges FRIEND's threat, noting visible marks on Kris's body, though concrete details remain withheld for future chapters.
