by

If you’ve been perplexed by the assortment of card puzzles in Deltarune: Chapter 1, don’t worry – many players share your confusion. These brain-teasing riddles, often featuring a blend of spades, diamonds, and the enigmatic swap function, can either be an enjoyable mental exercise or a source of frustration. If you’re struggling to solve them, this guide will lead you step-by-step through all the card puzzles found in Chapter 1 of Deltarune.

Deltarune Chapter 1 Card Puzzle #1

In Chapter 1, the first puzzle you’ll encounter is situated in the region known as the Field of Aspirations and Ambitions. This puzzle is positioned to the north of the chess field (recognizable by an abundance of Rudinns and Hathys), just prior to your arrival at the Card Castle entrance. At this spot, you’ll notice a device that accepts multiple cards.

The game suggests that the answer lies in the arrangement of the rooms in Card Castle. By observing the surroundings and the symbols depicted in the Card Castle, you will discover that the sequence is as follows:

  • Diamond (Floor 1)
  • Heart (Floor 2)
  • Club (Floor 3)
  • Spade (Floor 4 / King’s floor)

To generate the desired pattern (Diamond, Heart, Club, Spade), follow this sequence of button presses: Diamond, Heart, Club, Spade.

  • Press Diamond
  • Press Swap.
  • Press Diamond.
  • Press Spade.
  • Press Swap again. This brings the first three cards into the correct order (Diamond, Heart, Club).
  • Press Spade.

After inputting the entire sequence, the puzzle is solved, revealing a way to a treasure box holding the Broken Key C. This key can be employed to unveil the secret character, Jevil, within the game Deltarune.

Deltarune Chapter 1 Card Puzzle #2

Once you’ve finished with the Field, you’ll proceed into the vibrant, forest-like area known as the Scarlet Woodland. This place is brimming with additional challenges waiting for you. The initial challenge here is a straightforward password puzzle. Since everyone seems to have misplaced the password, the solution can be found at the top of the screen or document. Your task is simply to input it accurately.

To master this task, you need to learn the function of the “Swap” button. By clicking on it, every card will be transformed: Spades will become Clubs and Clubs will become Spades; similarly, Diamonds will transform into Hearts and Hearts will turn into Diamonds.

Now, to solve the puzzle, you need to enter “Club, Heart, Club”. To do so, follow the steps:

  • Press the Spade button.
  • Press the Diamond button.
  • Press the Spade button. Your display will show “Spade, Diamond, Spade”.
  • Now, press the Swap button. Now, your display will change to “Club, Heart, Club,” matching the target pattern and solving the puzzle.

Deltarune Chapter 1 Card Puzzle #3

After you solve the second card riddle and proceed through the forest, you’ll eventually come across a room where a lone Bloxer enemy is patrolling. Here, you’ll discover the third puzzle. Solving this puzzle, though not necessary, will grant you the Dice Brace accessory which enhances your defense.

To avoid a battle with the Bloxer, simply make sure its back is always facing you as you move.

As a movie buff, I’ve got a puzzle to solve! From the evidence scattered about, it appears the pattern I should be looking for is Spade, Diamond, Club. Let me break it down for you:

1. Start with the Spade symbol.
2. Next up, move on to the Diamond.
3. Lastly, wrap it up with the Club icon.

Now that I’ve got it figured out, I can proceed with solving the mystery!

  • Press the Spade icon
  • Press the Diamond button.
  • Press the Swap button.
  • Now, press the Spade icon again. Your display now will be Club, Heart, Spade.
  • Then, press the Swap button again. Now, your display will be Spade, Diamond, Club.

Should you input the sequence accurately, the obstructions along your route will diminish, providing a passage to a compact chamber where a treasure chest housing the Dice Brace awaits you.

Deltarune Chapter 1 Card Puzzle #4

Once you’ve cracked that one, head over to the next room where you’ll encounter the final password puzzle in this part of the area. Unfortunately, someone has messed with the card puzzle, so the answer isn’t immediately clear. To uncover the solution, chat with three distinct Clover representatives and observe the faint colors to decipher the answers.

To verify the colors, just position yourself in front of the password entry gadget and gaze at the three displays to the left of the spikes. For your visual guidance, the password will appear as a sequence: first, a red symbol; second, a black symbol; lastly, another red symbol.

By putting together the clues from the symbols at the top and the order of colors, the full password is: Heart, Spade, Diamond. To crack the code, simply follow these instructions:

1. Identify the symbol (or suit) at the top of the hints. In this case, it’s a Heart, Spade, and Diamond.
2. Note the color sequence that follows each symbol. The order is not important for solving the puzzle.
3. Combine the symbols in the same order as they appear in the clue provided.
4. Voila! You now have the complete password: Heart, Spade, Diamond.

  • Press Diamond.
  • Hit the Swap button. This will change the diamond you just placed into a red Heart.
  • Press Spade.
  • Press Diamond.

After inputting the sequence accurately, the spikes obstructing your route will descend, allowing you to continue forward.

Once you depart from the Forest and proceed towards the Card Castle, you’ll encounter additional riddles, some along the way to the castle and others inside it. To solve these mysteries, keep an eye on your surroundings and the conversations that take place within those spaces.
