• Hatred

Hatred is the final boss of Chapter 3. It first appears once the player enters the Dream World for the first time, disguised as Builderman, and will follow the player around during their adventure through the area. After the player defeats Fear, the so-called "Builderman" reveals its true form before sending the player to a twisted version of the Dream World. It appears for the final time after reaching the final area of the Hatred section of the Dream World and getting close to the Heart, where it will initiate its battle.

After beating Chapter 3, the player can have a rematch by answering "Nothing" to Guru.

Appearance Unbeknownst to the player at first, Hatred assumes the form of Builderman, offering guidance and encouragement throughout their journey to prove themselves worthy of the Ghostwalker. Once Fear is defeated, Hatred sheds this guise and later reappears as a thin, lanky creature with imp-like features, including horns and a spiked tail. It is highly malleable, capable of transforming into various shapes, resembling the properties of a liquid. This form can morph into a large, screaming face, particularly during its battle intro cutscene and when summoning assistance.

Moveset Corruption (RANGED) "CORRUPTION forms in the mouths of the HATEFUL."

Hatred charges up before launching three red spherical orbs, which appear to be infused with corruption, toward the player. Each orb deals Attack damage and, if successfully making contact with the player, inflicts 3 turns of Confusion Status Confusion (LV 1) (effects cannot be stacked).

When blocking this attack, players should block when the red orb is approximately a player's length in front of them. For those playing with others, block timing should be based on when the red orb appears to reach the person directly ahead.

PK Thunder (RANGED) "The air TINGLES with a looming sense of DREAD."

Hatred charges up and shifts form before unleashing a massive thunder shock from the sky, striking the player for Attack damage and piercing defense.

When blocking this attack, players must closely observe Hatred as it charges up and changes form. As Hatred prepares to release the thunder shock, its sprite will compress, and a distinct audio cue will play. The attack can be effectively blocked either at the beginning of the audio cue or immediately after Hatred has fully compressed its form.

To put it more simply, Hatred transforms into a form resembling an orbital cannon with an eye. When the eye moves down and reaches the bottom of its head, the lightning strike occurs. Timing the dodge at this precise moment is crucial.

Charge Outburst (UNDODGEABLE ATTACK) "Your GHOST POTION resonates in the tension. . . "

"YOU CANNOT GRASP THE SHEER POWER OF HATRED's ATTACK!"

Hatred uses up a turn to give themselves Charged Fixed Charged. In its next turn, it releases a big outburst of energy, dealing Attack to any player or ally caught in the attack. This attack is only avoidable through Invisible Status Invisible and Dodgy status Dodgy, with easily accessible sources of such effects being the Ghost Potion, Ghostwalker or Haunted Cheezburger. The outburst does NOT deal increased damage if the player is using Double Pain or Hard Mode, or is in a Party, but does increase if the player has negative Defence Defense.

Call for Help (SUPPORT) Hatred contorts into a demonic face and calls in an Apparition to battlefield for assistance.

Trivia Hatred is directly inspired by Giygas from the Earthbound series, and many aspects of its design reflect this. Hatred is the embodiment of wrath, similar to how Giygas embodies pure evil. Many lines of Hatred's in-battle dialogue are formatted in the same style as Giygas'. Hatred's design references a theory where flipping Giygas upside-down would give you Giegue, which can be seen here. Giygas Giegue Theory Their design closely resembles Giegue from Mother 1, especially their stasis form shortly after being unraveled from the Heart. Outburst's attack dialogue "YOU CANNOT GRASP THE SHEER POWER OF HATRED's ATTACK!" is nearly identical to the dialogue of Giygas' own attack, which is "You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas' attack!" The dialogue for Hatred's attacks during the beta was the same as Giygas' attacks, reading "You cannot grasp the true form of Hatred's attack!" Outburst also briefly transforms Hatred into a red swirl reminiscent of Giygas. Attempting to use Prayer while Hatred has more than 10 HP will result in nothing happening, with the dialogue "[Player]'s call was absorbed by the darkness..." appearing. However, if used while Hatred is at 10 HP or lower, the dialogue instead says, "[Player] prayed and Hatred got BANISHED!!!," dealing 1000 damage to all enemies in the battle, instantly killing them. Hatred was initially killed at 20 HP or lower when using Prayer and used to be called the "RED THING." These interactions are almost the same as the final battle with Giygas. Alternatively, however, Hatred also takes inspiration from Tubba Blubba's Heart from Paper Mario 64 with a few more similar design aspects. Hatred is found inside a literal heart upon encountering them in the Vein Center. Both bosses have 50 HP (assuming Hatred is fought with 1-2 players). Both bosses use a powerful charge-up move that deals massive damage, prompting the player to use an ability—acquired earlier in the chapter—that temporarily negates all incoming damage for one turn to withstand the attack. Both bosses are the boss of Chapter 3 in their respective games. If a player is the only one on the field fighting Hatred, they can attack once before needing to use the Ghost Potion when Hatred charges Charge Outburst. If a player has a low enough attack stat via the usage of Cards, hitting themselves (or an ally) from confusion will heal them instead of damaging them. Hatred's theme contains several samples of songs from other games, such as "Pokey Means Business!," "Giygas Whistle," and "Intro / The Evil Giygas Attacks! (Part 2)" from Earthbound, and "Lavender Town" from Pokémon Red and Blue. Hatred's theme also contains a motif to Bubonic Plant, supporting the idea that Griefer used the Venomshank on himself because his own Hatred made him do it. At the beginning of the Dream World, Builderman's text color is partially red, foreshadowing his connection to Hatred. The name of Hatred's second attack, "PK Thunder," is a direct reference to Earthbound with an attack of the same name in said game. As of the release of Demo 3, Hatred has the longest path in Guru's Nirvana. Hatred's Nirvana theme is the normal Nirvana theme slowed and reversed. Hatred's "Nirvana" originally was not referred to as one. Instead, the place was called "Boss Refight_ Hatred."[1] This has now been fixed, being renamed to Hateful Nirvana. Players can survive Hatred's Charge Outburst if they are above 60 HP. Alternatively, players can defend against the attack, reducing damage taken from 60 to 48. Unlike the other emotion bosses that collapsed, Hatred instead becomes tame. Furthermore, it is the only final boss of a chapter to become tame. Hatred is the only boss enemy to have a passive Fast Fixed Fast effect, being able to attack twice before the player can unless it charges up. This is very similar to what the player can do while playing solo, being able to attack twice before the enemy can unless they defend. This could further reference, along with multiple NPC dialogues, that Hatred is a part of the player and takes over majority of their soul after the other emotions were driven out.
