Naming prompt

At the beginning of Undertale, the role player is given the selection of naming the fallen man.

Normally, the game asks "Is this name right?" when request for confirmation of the proper name, merely some names trigger a unique response, and some of these names (mainly those of major characters in the story) cannot exist used. Other names do not trigger whatsoever particular message merely take a unlike bear on on the gameplay. At that place is a six-character limit, simply this can be bypassed using the renaming process as seen below.

Although this is depicted as the player naming the protagonist, it is, in fact, naming the beginning human being to accept fallen into the Hole-and-corner. This proper noun is mentioned by Flowey/Asriel, Asgore in the game over screen, the dream sequences in Toriel's Home and Waterfall, the mirrors in Toriel's and Asgore's homes on the Genocide Road, Alphys's console on the Genocide Route, the video recordings in the True Lab, and the first human'southward coffin. Notably, none of the characters ever speak the protagonist's name until they larn about it in the True Pacifist Route ending.

All names (except "Frisk") cannot be changed without performing a True Reset or completing a Genocide Road. Otherwise, when resetting, the message "A name has already been chosen" appears and the player is unable to alter the name. "Frisk" is the merely exception, as changing the proper noun is required to leave Difficult Mode.

Changing the proper noun in the Save files

Normally, the name cannot exist changed except later a True Reset or later on a Genocide Route. However, it is possible to modify the name during gameplay past modifying the game data.

Go into "%LOCALAPPDATA%\UNDERTALE" on Windows (e.1000. "C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\UNDERTALE") or "~/Library/Awarding Back up/com.tobyfox.undertale/" on Mac.
Open the file named file0 with a text editor of choice.
The name is stored on the first line. Supervene upon it with a new name. Numbers and symbols can be added to this new name, merely if it is longer than six characters, it covers surrounding text. Using a forbidden name has no effect.
The name is also stored in undertale.ini and is displayed when loading a Save file, but it is overwritten with the file0 name when the game is saved if they are unlike. If the game is reset instead of loading a Salve, the undertale.ini proper noun overwrites the file0 name instead.

If the game detects that the name has been edited (for example, if information technology is longer than vi characters), the text "Like shooting fish in a barrel to change, huh?" appears in the Stats carte du jour. Oddly enough, this does non occur if a forbidden proper noun is used.

Trivia

If the protagonist'due south name is inverse to "Gaster" through the SAVE files, the power to reset is unavailable equally the game restarts upon clicking the Reset push button.
