The Deltarune text dump now has all the text from chapters 1-4. That includes unused text, the Japanese translation, and copious spoilers.

Happy ctrl+F-ing!

It's long been known from a file name left in datamines from Early Access that Halsin and Jaheira would have had a fight in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, but because it's been so hard to find anything, no one could ever find what it would have been over.

I managed to find some stuff in the datamine. The only problem is that it's all dialgoue that isn't tagged to any speaker or any scene, but by inference, I'm pretty sure I've found some lines and context for it. So I'll put that here. I am really sad this got cut- it gave some much-needed depth to both characters, and showed how much pain both were in at an unwinnable situation.

The TL;DR version: The Harpers had to abandon the Druids to save themselves. Halsin still blames the Harpers in part for the deaths of his friends since they were left to fend for themselves, while Jaheira still thinks the decision was painful but necessary, and that it wasn't personal since they abandoned some of their own Harpers too. Tav could take one or the other's side after hearing them explain what happened that day.

Below are the lines I found. I don't know for sure that they were meant to be in this order, or even if they were all in the fight scene. Like I said before: I’m doing my best, but I can’t guarantee 100% accuracy here. That said, I am going to do my best to guess the rough order the lines would have been spoken in, but this is just an educated guess.

Presumably Halsin, unknown if this line is directly before the following line or not: “The Druids stood beside Harpers once, in this very land. But then you left, instead of helping push back this curse. You left, and my friends died.”

(Presumably) Halsin: “We were so close. Instead, a century passed, this whole region still suffers, and the [Emerald] Enclave never recovered from the losses. You’re a druid yourself- you must understand.”

(Presumably) Jaheira: “Of course. We ousted Ketheric together, but all paid dearly, and would have paid more. Had our leaders not deemed the position… untenable.” (More dialogue, which I can’t recover, follows this: this probably leading to an accusation that Halsin is shortsighted based on his response)

(Presumably) Halsin: “I am focused, not shortsighted. I promised to lift the Shadow Curse, and will not leave until it is done.”

(Presumably) Jaheira: “Spare me your scowls. The Harpers did all they could- all but die in vain. The position was simply untenable.”

(Presumably) Halsin: “Untenable? My friends are rotting in this foul earth because we were left to fight Ketheric’s curse alone.

(Presumably) Jaheira: We abandoned our own too, if you wish to phrase it that way. The cursed lands are littered with Harper dead.”

At this point or another, possibly before this, Tav could have taken sides, saying either “sounds like the Harpers were just being pragmatic. They couldn’t have known,” or “and then Harpers abandoned you? No wonder you’re angry.”

I also found some other lines that are definitely outside of the fight and, assuming they belong to Halsin^, show he is PISSED about this:

^I assume they belong to Halsin because of the new context of the fight; no one else would have had a reason to be that salty at the Harpers. But since I don’t know for sure I’m gonna say about 80% confidence these are Halsin’s.

“I’m surprised to find you here. I thought the Harpers had forsaken this whole region.”

“Of course you heard. You Harpers all talk to each other. Run schemes. Play with lives.”

“Spoken like a true Harper- trying to juggle the world’s problems while solving none of them.”

(Presumably to the player character) “I’ve heard that kind of talk before, from the Harpers. I can only hope you seize your chance, when it presents itself.”

And another Halsin line I really liked that would have added so much depth: “The Oak Father lost many of his finest servants in what followed. And I lost many dear friends. As long as I hold on to that anger, a part of them stays alive with me. Until the curse is lifted.”

I am really sad this is no longer in the game, but hey, at least we have headcanons! I hope you enjoyed reading what I found, anyway.

WAKE UP WAKE UP LOPNATION ABSOLUTELY GROUNDBREAKING STUFF IN HERE DINKDONK GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW

some amazing new info from a datamine on bilibili. Thank you to the_moon39 for uploading!!

for what it's worth, the korean text in there reads "QuestNPC_ghostboy carlo" [퀘스트NPC_유령소년 카를로]

were we going to see Carlo's... ghost?

Also, it looks like Carlo has both arms(!!!), which is of note. (also... same hair!)

Unfortunately, I don't speak chinese (I'm aware that Chinese is not one single language, but it's only my guess that this is mandarin so please bear with me here), so I can't really read anything in the video. neither do i really know what those code strings mean, other than stuff like "NPC". does anyone speak chinese :V

[another thing... i cannot BELIEVE they used to let you level poise??! I wonder at which point the devs just went "screw the player" lol

Bringing it back for the sequel would be a genius move C: I really really like the idea of leveling poise]

This isn't exactly new info because it looks some datamined info has been floating around the LoP community in China for a while now, apparently, I can imagine some Lop indie servers have been datamining as well (since I can imagine it's easier to discuss away from the watchful eye of NWZ). so some of you may have seen this before, but eh, it's new to me.

(I did also make a mirror of the video just in case it gets pulled down). also The shotgun arm that was taken down from reddit is here again yay!! So you don't just have to take my word for it anymore lol.

You already know what time it is

With the DLC I have rooted around a little and ripped some of the more interesting textures, including some of the portraits we see of characters we love :)

A New Folder is available on my drive with all the stuff I found

Silent Hill F: Dark Shrine Paintings

Someone on xiaohongshu mentioned that the faces being crossed out alongside kanji being crossed out is symbolic of women losing their family name when they marry. Hinako's is unfinished and has nothing crossed out.

Some note during battle with Dihui Star - Shiomi Yoru (?)

Shiomi Yoru (塩見ヨル) currently i had no ideas about her name

and during battle her title is Index Nursefather despite being the Pinky Nursefather and possessing the Pinky Trait. in EN version

her passive is interesting, isn't it.

Anyone who read Hell's Screen would probably notice the references they putting here, although I was too focus on fighting with her at those moment so I haven't see her changing "phase" to see the other 3 passive. But probably we will see her again on part 3?

They all named Afterimage Entanglement (while their Datafiles named shortly as Time Entangle)

The Snake 4th - Poison

The Owl 3rd - Bleed

The Hell Demon 2nd - Bind

The Carriage on fire 1st - Burn

And Last, all four of them

her panic mode: Affection and Resentment

her weakness are Gloom and Wraith
