How to defeat Jackenstein
SPOILERS FOR DELTARUNE CHAPTER 4
(This guy was a pain in the ass to beat though, so I thought I'd give some tips.)
The whole party should defend on the first turn
After this, have Kris and Ralsei defend and Susie use "treasure hunt" until you have enough tp to use Kris's "Unleashed," which costs 60tp.
Whenever a party member's hp gets halfway or lower, use an item.
The house's have different set ups. I'm not sure if it's random, but they're all a similar deal.
Take your time to avoid getting hit by the ghosty things while collecting as much tp pellets as possible. Jack WONT get you until you collect the key. After getting the key, book it even if you get hit.
Try to move in sink with the ghosty's like you would in chapter one when avoiding the dancing creatures in field of hopes and dreams.
Despite the heart lighting up next to the ghosty's you CAN NOT farm tp this way. (Atleast not on Original Switch)
The items themself don't matter. I'd recommend anything that heals more than 100, in addition to some revive mints. Don't use Ralsei's heal prayer. You NEED that TP.
After using "Unleashed" there's either "You're long" which isn't that different from the normal attacks or Jack will be a "really nice guy" it'll be a house that also has an exit through the chimney. You can leave through the chimney without collecting the key, (and summoning jack) but then you'd lose out on some sweet sweet tp. :(
Don't use treasure hunt on the same turn you use Kris's “unleashed”, there's no point.
Kris’s "Scaredy cat" looks good, but I think it makes Jack come sooner. That, combined with the lowered defense, it's not really worth it.
To my knowledge, Ralsei's abilities are useless in this battle. Keep him alive to farm TP with his defense, but if you're low on healing items and have to choose between party members, let him stay down.
After using “Unleashed” a second time, there will be a “ultimate humiliation” or something like that. It’s like the other attacks, but the soul has to collect a tutu instead of a key. You will drop this tutu on the way out of the house, do not go back and get it, Jack will give it to you. Once you have it back, RUN FOR THE DOOR. Otherwise, Jack will get you.
Use “Unleashed” three times to beat Jackenstein.
I don’t think what you have equipped matters that much, just use the best ones you have. When I beat him, this is what I used:
Kris: Spookysword, ChainMail, Waferguard
Susie: AbsorbAx, RoyalPin, JevilsTail,
Ralsei: FiberScarf, Dealmaker, FrayedBowtie
