A standard reset is the barrier rebirth. You keep collected weapons. Level and TP go back down, and a level booster is applied. The public numbers for the door do not agree, so this page separates them before the route.
Which requirement should you trust
| Source of the claim | Level | TP | Other cost | What resets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Game reference for the barrier final room | 6000 | 70 | Not stated | Level and TP. Booster stacks up to 34 percent. |
| November 2026 walkthrough | 6000 | 100 | A gold fee, amount not published | Level and TP. Weapons stay. |
| Reset-boss table on the unofficial boss list | 6000 | 70 | Not stated | The X-series fights, except Gaster, are listed as granting +1 reset. |
Use the prompt on the barrier door. If it asks for 70 TP, the older reference and the boss table match. If it asks for 100 TP or gold, the November walkthrough matches. Do not spend a farm assuming the gold fee has a published amount. It does not, in the pages read for this guide.
What a reset is for
The Roblox badge named Reset uses the description "1 Reset.Congratulations." Five Resets and Thirty Resets are separate badges. A later True Reset badge exists, but its official description is only "...".
Namu's stat table says LV can be collected up to 6000 plus 50 times your reset count, Gold up to 20,000,000, and TP from Infinity Realm and C.O.D.E World. A November 2026 true-reset writeup instead asks for 30 resets, 1,000,000,000 Gold, and 1,000 TP, sometimes plus 1,000 Kromer. One billion Gold does not fit a 20,000,000 Gold cap, so that cost is not treated as settled here. The same Namu table's true reset is different again: level 7500, 4000 TP, and 30 resets, once, and it says the level booster disappears.
First-reset order
- Clear the opening Ruins line until you have a real weapon. Toriel is listed at LV 2 and drops the Toy Knife.
- Buy travel tools when a shop actually sells them. One route says the axe and grappling hook are in the shop straight ahead of spawn. Another says Climbing Gloves cost 5,000 Gold from a Snowdin canine vendor and a grapple costs 300,000 Gold in Cyber City. Buy the one your shop shows.
- Follow the level bands in the level-farm guide until the barrier accepts you.
- Enter the barrier from the main hub and clear the guardian. Walkthroughs mention Undyne the Undying or XGaster as possible tests. The door text is the authority.
- After the wipe, weapons should still be in your inventory and the Reset badge should be available if this was the first one.
X-series gates after you can reset
The unofficial boss list gives these reset counts for the X fights. Another public table, tied to a different wiki title, changes X Asgore to 9, X Asriel to 19, True X Sans to 26, and X Alphys to 29. This page keeps the Unwavering Soul boss-list numbers.
| Fight | Resets listed | Shared note |
|---|---|---|
| X Papyrus | 0 | 6000 LV and 70 TP, +1 reset, except Gaster |
| X Undyne | 1 | Same shared note |
| X Muffet | 3 | Same shared note |
| X Mettaton | 6 | Same shared note |
| X Asgore | 10 | A player video about reset 11 says they beat X-Asgore on that reset |
| X Asriel | 15 | Same shared note |
| True X Sans | 20 | Same shared note |
| X Alphys | 25 | Same shared note |
| X Gaster | 30+ | +X Soul after True Hand |
| X Gaster True Hand | 0 | Listed separately from the +1 reset row |
If your X fight refuses entry at the count above, write down the number the game displays. The conflicting table may be describing a later patch, or the wrong game.
