The Weird Route, or Snowgrave Route, is a dark storyline you can trigger in Deltarune Chapter 2. Once the route is initiated, it continues through the following chapters, altering cutscenes, characters, and outcomes. 

The Weird Route begins with the player forcing Noelle to freeze most enemies in Chapter 2, particularly when she uses the Snowgrave spell on Berdly. After that, she is horrified at her actions and tries to make sense of the violence.

Once you have begun the Weird Route in Chapter 2, playing on the same save will continue it into Chapter 3 without having to trigger it with actions or interactions. There are a few major differences in the chapter when playing on the Weird Route, but nothing as impactful as the previous or subsequent chapters. 

Shadow Mantle

As you interact with the TV during the secret mini-game to obtain the Shadow Mantle, it appears to know your intentions. What seems to be the Shadow Mantle itself speaks to you through the TV, saying that it won’t give you what you want because it knows your goals. It asks whether you’re enjoying this, like you enjoyed what you did yesterday. This dialogue likely refers to your actions in Chapter 2 during the Snowgrave Route.

While in the church with Susie and Noelle, Kris acts distant and remains passive. Instead of celebrating with Susie, he seems to be in a dark mood. This leads to Susie asking Kris whether he has something against Noelle. Then, in a meta reference, she says, “Maybe things took a weird route right now.”

Berdly

After you hit him with the Snowgrave spell in Chapter 2, Berdly goes unconscious in the Overworld. Kris visits him in the hospital and finds him asleep. If you choose to heat him up, he becomes more relaxed. At the end of the second chapter, it was heavily implied that Berdly died, but this scene reveals that he seems to be recovering.

Although the Weird Route does not differ drastically from the regular route in Chapter 3, these interactions keep the unnerving sense of dread alive, ultimately delivering a shocking experience in Chapter 4’s Weird Route.
