In Deltarune Chapter 4, you can recruit new enemies to grow your Castle Town. One of the trickiest ones to find is Miss Mizzle—a hidden miniboss who hides by pretending to be a water cooler. She only shows up if you do things just right. If you miss the moment or accidentally defeat her, you’ll lose your chance to recruit her. This guide will show you exactly how to find, battle, and recruit Miss Mizzle step-by-step.
Why Miss Mizzle Is Hard to Find
Miss Mizzle doesn’t show up as a regular enemy on the map. She’s disguised as a Holy Water Cooler and only reveals herself during a special encounter. If you don’t explore side areas or don’t use ACT commands at the right time, you might never see her true form.
Another thing to note—recruiting a regular Mizzle before meeting Miss Mizzle might stop you from being able to recruit her. She’s a different character but shares similar traits, so you have to treat them separately during your playthrough.
She also looks a bit different. While regular Mizzles look like Brionne from Pokémon, Miss Mizzle is taller and more elegant—more like Primarina.
How Recruiting Works
Recruiting in Chapter 4 works just like before: you must Spare the enemy, not defeat it. If you defeat even one enemy of that type, you can’t recruit it for that run.
Each enemy has its own way of being Spared using ACT. With Miss Mizzle, timing and choice matter. She’s one of eight characters you can recruit in this chapter, including Mizzle, Balthizard, Bibliox, Guei, Organikk, Wicabel, and Winglade.
Step-by-Step Guide to Miss Mizzle
Start from Old Man Gerson’s study:
- Go left from the study and enter the hallway with dark shadow creatures.
- Head down the stairs into a room with pressure plates. Stepping on them lights up the area for a short time.
- Keep moving left through the dark corridor. On the far-left wall, look for a climbable spot marked by two lit candles.
- Climb up. You’ll face a few platforming challenges—not too hard, but easy to miss if you’re rushing.
- At the top, go left. You’ll see a large wooden water container in front of a dark doorway. This is where the event happens.
How to Trigger the Fight
Interact with the wooden water container. Then walk away from it—either to the right or back down. A Holy Water Cooler will appear and ambush you, starting the fight.
At first, it looks like a normal Water Cooler enemy. Wait until Kris has about 65% TP, then use ACT. This will make the enemy change into Miss Mizzle.
This transformation must happen—if she doesn’t change, you can’t recruit her.
How to Recruit Miss Mizzle
You can’t attack or weaken Miss Mizzle. Instead, use Kris’s ACT options:
- Use Dazzle and Nuzzle. These actions match her style and charm.
- Repeat them a few times to raise the Mercy meter.
- While doing that, have the other party members Defend or heal to stay safe. Her attacks aren’t too strong, but mistakes can happen.
- When the Mercy meter hits 100%, use Spare to finish the fight and recruit her.
If you accidentally attack or defeat her, you won’t get another shot during this playthrough.
What Miss Mizzle Does in Castle Town
Miss Mizzle will now show up in Castle Town with the rest of your recruits. You can see her in the Recruits tab at any Save Point.
She also opens up a special Spa Corner that gives you one free team heal per chapter. It’s a great option before tough boss fights.
She’s totally separate from regular Mizzles, so make sure you go for her first before dealing with others that look like her.
FAQ’s: Miss Mizzle Deltarune location
Q1. Is Miss Mizzle missable?
- Yes. She only appears once, and defeating her instead of sparing her means she cannot be recruited on that save file.
Q2. Can Miss Mizzle be recruited on the Weird Route?
- Yes, the encounter remains available, though her dialogue may change slightly. Recruitment works the same way.
Q3. What if I accidentally defeat her?
- You cannot recruit her unless you reload an earlier save. There’s no second chance within the same playthrough.
Q4. What gameplay benefit does she provide in Castle Town?
- She opens a spa corner that offers a one-time full team heal per chapter—useful before boss fights.
Q5. Do I need to spare a Mizzle first?
- Not during this battle. However, in areas where Mizzles appear in pairs, it helps to focus one at a time to avoid KO mishaps.
Q6. Does recruiting regular Mizzle block Miss Mizzle’s appearance?
- Yes. If you recruit a regular Mizzle before triggering Miss Mizzle’s event, she may not spawn, locking you out of her recruitment.
Q7. Where exactly is the climbable wall to reach her?
- It’s to the far left after passing the pressure-plate room near Gerson’s study. Look for two lit candles beside a short wall—that’s your climb point.
Q8. Can I retry the Miss Mizzle fight if I flee or lose?
- If you flee or lose, the event may reset, allowing a second try. However, if you defeat her by mistake, recruitment is permanently blocked for that run.
Q9. Is the Water Cooler always Miss Mizzle?
- No. Most Holy Water Coolers are just standard enemies. Only the one triggered from the wooden tub near Dark Sanctuary transforms into Miss Mizzle.
Q10. Can I bring her into combat or use her abilities in battle?
- No. Like all Castle Town recruits, Miss Mizzle doesn’t fight. She only appears in the town hub, offering minor utility and unique interactions.
Final Tips
Getting Miss Mizzle is a fun side mission in Chapter 4. Her secret encounter, unique design, and cool personality make her one of the most interesting characters in the game. Just follow the route from Gerson’s study, trigger the hidden battle, and act carefully to make sure she joins your team.
If you’re aiming for a complete Castle Town roster, don’t overlook this detour—the Miss Mizzle Deltarune location is easy to miss if you’ve already interacted with a regular Mizzle or skipped the candle-marked climb too quickly.
Be patient, take your time, and you’ll add one of the rarest and most stylish recruits to your town.
