The wheat brushed my boots and I almost missed the puff of blue above the stalks. I froze—finding that balloon felt like discovering a hidden pocket in a jacket I’d worn for years. For a minute the cliffside shop, the path, and a chasing dog all mattered more than the rest of the game.
I play for the odd details and the small rewards that make replays worth it. You’re about to follow a short, repeatable sequence that rewards patience and a little rhythm; I’ll point out the traps most players walk past and the tiny signposts the game drops if you pay attention.
How to get the Secret Egg in Deltarune Chapter 5
There are two wheat patches split by a narrow path—one invites you forward, the other hides a loop you can exploit.
Progress through the Dark World until you hit the shop on the Cliffs. From that area, head right until you reach a zone with two distinct wheat clusters. The second cluster is the one you rush through while avoiding damage; don’t keep moving forward after that run. Turn back the way you came, and sprint through the single stack of wheat planted on the field.
Repeat the same loop in the opposite direction: run left-to-right and dash through that lone wheat stalk again. Do the back-and-forth a few times. Eventually a blue balloon will appear high above the field. Keep chasing it—if you hesitate it drifts away and the moment is gone.
Where is the secret egg in Deltarune Chapter 5?
The balloon leads you to a hidden chamber where a dog is tied to the sky. Follow the dog into the room, interact with the flowers the dog points out, and activate them in the order the dog demonstrates. Once all the flowers are lit, a water canister shaped like a dog appears.
Follow the dog, then move fast
The balloon sits just out of easy reach, like a secret beacon you have to earn.
Pick up the dog-shaped canister when it appears. The dog will start chasing you the moment you grab it—use the canister to create a safe path and rush left. That path opens a door to a room with a tree. Walk to the back of the tree and interact where the space feels empty; the NPC who hands you the egg hides behind the tree and may not be visible at first.
How do you get the secret egg in Chapter 5?
Short answer: repeat the wheat loop, chase the blue balloon, activate flowers in the dog’s order, grab the canister, and speak to the hidden NPC behind the tree. If you miss one step the sequence collapses; the balloon won’t appear unless you keep the pattern consistent.
I’ve tested this on Steam and confirmed similar reports on Reddit and Twitter; even Toby Fox’s smaller clues in menus and item text hint that weird rewards hide behind repetition. If you bought the game on Steam for $9.99 (€10) you’ll want to try this before moving on to other quests.
Two small metaphors follow the moment: the wheat was a rippling ocean and the blue balloon a stubborn moon pulling the chase—both simple signals that there’s more beneath the surface. Use Moyens I/O screenshots, community clips, or a quick clip on your Switch capture to map the timing, and you’ll save time on blind retries.
Miss it once and you might chalk it up to random chance; find it and you’ll feel like you cheated the map—so which would you rather report back to the community?
