The Egg is a recurring secret Key Item in Deltarune, and Chapter 5 hides its version in a tucked-away tree room past the Cliffs shop. It is fully optional, has no combat or stat effect, and is easy to walk past unless you stop to harvest the wheat field. The man behind the tree hands it over once you reach his room.
Quick answer: In the Cliffs, go right of the shop into the wheat field, run through the Torii Gates while destroying every wheat stalk, then keep cutting the single stalk that respawns until a balloon appears. Follow it into the dog room, copy the dog’s flower order to get the Watering Can, clear the path to the left, and talk to the man behind the tree to receive the Egg.
Requirements before you start
You need to reach the Cliffs area in the Dark World, which means progressing far enough to obtain the Petal Feather and use it on the Mysterious Structures. After that, the shop in the Cliffs becomes your landmark for finding the Egg.
- The Petal Feather, used to power the Mysterious Structures along the way.
- Access to the Cliffs shop that sells a few items.
- The wheat field to the right of that shop, where the run sequence with the Torii Gates takes place.

Solve the dog’s flower puzzle

Reach the tree room and collect the Egg

The path created by the Watering Can leads to a room with a single tree growing in it. Walk to the back of the tree to find the man standing behind it. He may be hard to see, so move toward the rear of the room to trigger the interaction.
Speak with him to receive the Egg. Exhaust all of his dialogue, then leave the room with the Chapter 5 collectible in hand.
How to confirm you got it
Check your Key Items inventory. The Egg’s description reads “Not too important, not too unimportant,” and using it produces the line “(You used the Egg.)” with no effect. It stays in Kris’s inventory while you remain in the Dark World and disappears once the chapter ends.
Note: On the PlayStation version, finishing a chapter on a save file where you collected that chapter’s Egg blocks the “COMPLETE WITHOUT ISSUE” trophy for that chapter. If you are chasing trophies, grab the Egg on a separate save or skip it on your trophy run.

The Egg carries no gameplay payoff, but it continues a running secret that has appeared in every chapter so far, always handed over by the same quiet figure hiding behind a tree. Securing it in Chapter 5 is simply a matter of patience in the wheat field and a careful eye on the dog’s flower sequence.
