Chapter 4 of Deltarune explores a brand-new Dark World filled with interesting characters and hilarious segments. Moreover, the Dark World features several secrets that are usually hidden on higher ground, requiring Kris to climb sections of walls to reach them. However, climbing them is not possible until you get climbing tools. This article will reveal how you can obtain climbing tools in Deltarune Chapter 4 and outline the basics of using them.

To get the Climbing Tools, you must defeat the Jackenstein boss, which is a part of the main story. Since the climbing tools open up other areas within the level, you should find Jackenstein as soon as possible. 

As you begin Deltarune Chapter 4, you will notice several sections of walls with protruding bricks creating a vertical trail. Remember these wall locations, as you can return and explore them for hidden enemies and items once you unlock climbing tools. 

Once you reach Old Man Gerson’s study after entering the Dark World, the climbing tools are within your reach. From the study, head through the upper left door to enter the Northwest Library section. There, play the piano to maneuver a bookshelf into place to your left, creating a bridge to the doorway ahead. Through the Deltarune door ahead, you will encounter a piano with a closed door to its right.

The piano puzzle requires you to find two music sheets on either side of the Deltarune door’s corridor. You can play the following sequence on the piano to open the door:

  • Left, Down, Left, Right, Down, Down, Right, Right

Proceed through the darkness ahead, and you will eventually run into Jackenstein. Check out our detailed Jackenstein boss fight guide here. Once you have defeated Jackenstein, the climbing tools are unlocked, and you can scale any climbable wall throughout Chapter 4
