In Deltarune Chapter 3, earning points is the key to getting an S Rank and it takes good performance across quizzes, battles, and minigames.
Each board in this chapter has different challenges, and paying close attention to how you play can really help boost your score.
A strong overall score not only raises your rank but also unlocks hidden content for dedicated players.
Scoring Points Through Battles And Minigames In Deltarune Chapter 3
To earn points in Deltarune Chapter 3, you need to perform well across quizzes, battles, and minigames.
Quizzes are the most straightforward; answering all questions correctly gives a major score boost. Battles, however, are more detailed.
To earn high points, avoid taking damage, gain extra TP even if it takes an extra turn, and limit the number of turns.
Staying unharmed is difficult, but it gives the best score. In minigames, hit as many notes or targets as possible.
If you reach an A Rank on a board, you can unlock practice mode for those challenges, which helps improve your performance on later tries.
Bonus Opportunities To Earn Points
Each board offers ways to earn bonus points. Collecting all five keys, finding all four photos, and visiting places like Love Island all contribute to your total.
On Board 2, farming shadow bunny photos is a popular method; each photo gives 25 points and can be collected quickly.
There’s also a room near Goulden Sam’s flaming door where grazing light trails grants one point per graze, useful for slow but steady grinding.
Earning 1500 points on a board gives you a T Rank for points, which helps achieve an overall S Rank.
Unlocking Secrets And Replaying The Chapter
Getting an S Rank on both boards is necessary to unlock the secret boss and obtain the shadow crystal.
If you don’t hit S Rank on one board, you can buy access to that board’s S Rank room from Pippin for 1500 points, but the other board must still be completed properly.
If you miss the chance during your first run, you can replay. After finishing Chapter 3, restart it and play until you fall asleep on the couch with Susie.
Once you’re in the dark world, sleep again to skip ahead to the contest section. Holding the C key speeds up dialogue and makes replaying faster.
With good strategy and effort, getting an S Rank and unlocking all secrets is fully possible.
