Eggs in Deltarune are peculiar secret items hidden across chapters, often requiring unusual or repetitive actions to obtain. While they don’t serve any direct gameplay purpose, they are tied to Toby Fox’s signature humor, meta-lore, and a deeper sense of mystery that fans have come to expect.
This guide walks you through how to locate and collect the Egg in each available chapter, what it does, and the strange little moments that follow. Whether you’re collecting them out of curiosity or hunting Easter eggs, here’s where to find them—chapter by chapter.
Chapter 1: Scarlet Forest Egg
The first Egg can be found in the Dark World’s Scarlet Forest and is triggered via a rare room transition. This encounter introduces the recurring “man behind the tree” who appears in each chapter’s Egg Room.
How to Obtain:
- Progress through the Scarlet Forest until you reach the area where Kris and the party are chased by the large bird enemy.
- Locate the two adjacent rooms: the bird chase room and the one with the “invisible tree.”
- Repeatedly walk back and forth between these rooms (the appearance rate is roughly 2% per transition).
- Eventually, you’ll enter a new version of the room containing a single red tree. The background music changes to an unused track (“man.ogg”).
- Interact with the tree to receive the prompt: “(He is behind the tree.)”
- Inspect again to reveal: “(There is a man here. He offers you something.)” Choose “Yes” to receive the Egg.
After You Get the Egg:
- When you return to the Light World, interact with Asgore’s refrigerator. Kris will automatically place the Egg inside.
- Upon checking the fridge again, the text changes to: “There are two Eggs inside the fridge.”
- If you drop the Egg instead, one will still appear in the fridge. The Egg disappears after Chapter 1 ends, whether used or not.
Trivia:
- The Egg’s flavor text: “Not too important, not too unimportant.”
- The fridge scene is widely considered a meta-joke, possibly referencing certain anatomical humor or poking fun at players who obsess over every hidden item.
Chapter 2: Cyber City Egg
Chapter 2 contains a similar hidden room in Cyber City, involving a narrow alley and the same mysterious man from the forest.
How to Obtain:
- After completing the yellow traffic light puzzle (with cars crossing the screen), find the alley on the left side of the screen.
- Walk in and out of this alley repeatedly—just like in Chapter 1—until you’re transported to a hidden tree room.
- Inspect the tree to encounter the man again. Accept his offer to receive the Egg.
After You Get the Egg:
- In the Light World, go to Sans’s shop and interact with the basket of eggs.
- Kris will automatically place the Egg in the basket, and Susie will comment about “reverse-stealing.”
- Interacting with the eggpile later will note: “There are more eggs than usual.”
- If you visit Temmie in the classroom at the end of Chapter 2 while still holding the Egg, she places one on the desk. Interacting with it reveals how many Eggs you’ve collected across chapters.
Lore Notes:
- Dropping the Egg triggers a unique message: “What Egg?”
- Even if dropped, the Egg can reappear in your inventory upon returning to the Dark World.
Chapter 3: Forgotten Isle Egg
The Chapter 3 Egg requires solving several layered puzzles, multiple NPC interactions, and finally answering a series of cryptic questions.
How to Obtain:
- TV World Quizzes:
- In the TV-filled room, answer all the quiz questions to unlock a hidden door.
- Block Puzzle:
- In the next area, throw blocks across a river. Choose Susie and aim for the bush gap to succeed.
- Green Room Encounter:
- Proceed to the Green Room. An NPC will ask:
- “You’s a cheater, ain’t ya?” → Select “Cheater”
- “Where you headed?” → Select “Nowhere”
- Proceed to the Green Room. An NPC will ask:
- Bridge Mechanic:
- The NPC will teleport you. Use the previously thrown block to complete the bridge and press the red button.
- Screen NPC and Trip Ticket:
- Talk repeatedly to the NPC in front of the screen. Eventually, he’ll say the ticket is in the wardrobe. Retrieve the Trip Ticket.
- Dumpster and Ribbick Battle:
- Head to the room with dumpsters. Interact with the closed one to battle a Ribbick.
- In the ACT menu, don’t select ‘X’. Instead, hold the left arrow key to trigger a warp.
- Forgotten Isle and Dialogue Tree:
- You’ll be transported to the Forgotten Isle. Locate a large tree and interact with the man behind it.
Answer the following questions:
| Dialogue Prompt | Answer |
|---|---|
| “Will you forget me, too?” | No |
| “I ask again, will you forget me?” | No |
| “Once upon a time, the whole world looked like this. Do you think so?” | Yes |
| “Do you understand what I am saying?” | Yes |
| “Did you want to meet again?” | Yes |
| “Did you remember to write it down?” | Yes |
Upon completion, you’ll receive the Egg.
After You Get the Egg:
- You can place the Egg on Berdly’s desk in the classroom.
- Like before, the Egg vanishes at the beginning of Chapter 4.
Easter Egg Note:
- This sequence plays into the themes of memory, erasure, and meaninglessness that Toby Fox subtly weaves into the narrative.
Final Thoughts
The Egg is one of Deltarune’s most curious secrets not because of its mechanical importance, but because of how it asks players to explore, repeat, observe, and remember. It rewards attention to detail, a willingness to engage with absurdity, and a respect for the game’s layered tone. Whether it ultimately ties into deeper lore or remains a series-long joke, finding all the Eggs remains a fan-favorite challenge.
