understanding flowey/asriel is key to understanding some of the most important events in undertale. however, the game must be played again and again in order to see everything he has to say. to save you the trouble, here is collection of imgur albums filled with screenshots of all dialogue relevant to flowey.
important note: if flowey is killed at the end of the photoshop flowey fight, he will not appear again in subsequent neutral routes, until the very end where he destroys asgoreās soul and steals the humans souls. he will appear again as usual in the neutral route after a true reset or genocide erase.
intro dialogue: genocide abort
intro dialogue: after neutral end (with kills)
intro dialogue: after neutral endĀ (no kills)
everytime the game is reset, flowey will greet frisk in the ruins. since he can remember resets, his comments will change according to what has been done in previous routes. the only time he will not remember is after the pacifist route or the genocide route
kill monsters, spare toriel
kill toriel twice in a row
kill toriel three+ times in a row
kill toriel, reload, spare toriel
spare toriel, reload, kill toriel
if torielās battle is repeatedly reloaded, flowey will comment depending who lives or dies.
when backtracking, sometimes flowey can be spotted popping back into the ground.
flowey leaves a message on an echo flower impersonating toriel, presumably to unnerve frisk. in theĀ ātoriel is aliveā message, flowey may be admitting that he thinks toriel has forgotten about him.
papyrusā connection to flowey
further information about flowey/asriel can be found in the sepia art and in certain scenes that include papyrus. the library books in particular are critical to understanding how asriel came to wake up as flowey.
the story of asriel told in new home
the monsters tell the story of asriel and charaās demise. this is only one side of the story, missing key details that are later filled in by flowey/asriel.
first time only: absorbing the souls (kill asgore)
first time only: absorbing the souls (spare asgore)
absorbing the souls: genocide abort (kill asgore)
absorbing the souls: genocide abort (spare asgore)
if flowey is spared: absorbing the souls again 1
if flowey is spared: absorbing the souls again 2
if flowey is spared: absorbing the souls again 3+
if flowey is killed: absorbing the souls
pre-fight dialogue (no save file)
game over screen & reload after deaths
reload after running away
post-battle: spare flowey
flowey taunts frisk (or chara) with dialogue before, during, and after the battle. if frisk dies enough at floweyās hands, flowey will even accused frisk of dying on purpose and accuse them of being aĀ āsicko.ā flowey also taunts frisk about running away if the game is closed before dying.
no kills / first neutral route only:
no kills 1 (papyrus befriended)
no kills 1 (undyne befriended)
no kills 1 (alphys befriended)
kills / first neutral route only:
kill in a route after flowey says not to
no kills after flowey says not to kill, but kill asgore at the end
no kills after flowey says not to kill, spare asgore
first neutral route after aborting the genocide route:
flowey must be spared in order to trigger these dialogues.Ā āno killsā 2 - 6 can be gotten by repeatedly defeating (and sparing) asgore in a route with no kills. while repeatedly finishing the game is labour intensive, it reveals some of the most important information on flowey and his world view.
lab entries deconstructed
the information on asriel found in the true lab fills in the missing pieces about asriel and charaās deaths as well as how flowey was brought into existence. considering that flowey manipulates frisk into getting to the true lab in the first place (requesting frisk make friends with undyne and alphys) it seems that flowey was trying to show ācharaā what happened to him.
asriel battle dialogue only
asrielās flowerbed speech
flowerbed speech deconstructed
end credits: asrielās prank
floweyās pacifist end warning
flowey becomes asriel dreemurr, the absolute god of hyperdeath. here he taunts and threatens, but eventually breaks down, admitting all of this was orchestrated because he wasnāt ready to let go of chara.
new home: floweyās story
genocide end: floweyās death
the genocide route provides the last bit of information needed to piece together floweyās story as well as his motivations. it also reveals floweyās attachment to chara.

first pacifist neutral end
pre-battle: photoshop flowey
there are some minor variants if no save file has been created.
(these links are in the lists above, but here they are together.)
first neutral route after aborting the genocide route:
if a genocide route is triggered, but aborted and reset, flowey will refer to frisk asĀ ācharaā from then on.
