- For its Neutral and True Pacifist Route counterpart, see Heart Locket.
The Locket is an armor item found in Asgore's Home. It is a heart-shaped locket,[1] and is the Heart Locket's Genocide Route counterpart. Its offensive counterpart is the Real Knife. It is the Genocide Route armor item associated with the first human.
Trivia
- Despite being the toughest armor in the game, it never sees any real use as it is found right at the end of the Genocide Route, and Sans, the last enemy of a Genocide Route, always deals one damage.
- The Check flavor text alludes to Genocide Route's ending, where the protagonist's SOUL is given away.
- The Locket is the only item in Undertale to include "the" in its name. In the Japanese localization, this emphasis is maintained by changing the line "You got The Locket." to, approximately, "Took back the locket."[2]
