It’s possible that Entry Number 17 was removed because Alphys’ reveal of why the fallen monsters became amalgamates would lose its impact if the conclusion was already revealed to Frisk in the lab. It is the same conclusion that Entry Number 17 would have revealed of her experiment. During her confession to Frisk, she explains that monsters cannot handle determination like humans and that’s why the fallen monsters melted together. Regardless, Entry Number 17 is presumably written by Alphys. NOTE: There is only one if statement for room 256, unlike before. “ENTRY NUMBER 17″ is missing from the English text map, as well. This means that omitting Entry Number 17 was intentional. While this looks like it could be a mistake, Entry Number 17 can no longer be found in the latest version of Undertale. However, The “DT EXTRACTION MACHINE” reading was added afterward, meaning Entry Number 17 could never be seen. This means the monitor in this room originally was supposed to show Entry Number 17. Room 256 is the room with the DT Extraction Machine. Gaster’s entry has the number spelled out, while this entry has the number written as digits.įurthermore, notice that the code places another message in the same room. Note that ENTRY NUMBER SEVENTEEN and ENTRY NUMBER 17 are two different entries. With too much determination, our bodies begin to break down. Monsters’ physical forms can’t handle “determination” like humans’ can. As briefly mentioned in the theory, Alphys wrote the true lab entries, there is an unused ENTRY NUMBER 17 that explains the fate of the fallen monsters. Instead, there is another entry that fits with the rest. His entry speaks of a darkness, rather than about determination, the fallen monsters, or the vessel. While the lab entries are missing the seventeenth entry, Gaster’s entry has nothing to do with the rest.
