You feel a cute puppy crawling around on your back. Users who like Dog Megalovania. The Artifact In Waterfall – You know, the one Annoying Dog absorbed? This is, in theory, an artifact of power that can shatter the barrier which traps the Monsters Underground. However, the Dog (a represent of TOBY, the creator) absorbs it (takes it). Of course, the creator would take away an immediate solution to get a good end to a game.

An Undertale love story

31. The Notebook
Frisk paused just outside the entrance to Gerson's shop. 'Crap, I forgot I don't have any money!' Her fingers fidgeted against Sans's hoodie. Papyrus's words echoed in her mind. You don't have to be ashamed to ask me for help! It's just money, alright?!
She sighed, not having time to worry about this right now. 'Whatever. It's just a small purchase, I'll pay you back later…' She pulled his coin wallet out of the front pocket of his jeans shorts. As she examined it, her expression changed from guilt to concern.
'I thought he'd have a lot more on him…'
She went into the shop. Gerson was an old turtle monster wearing a khaki hat and shirt. A thin beard of white trickled from his chin. His eyes lit up as Frisk walked in.
'Woah there! I've got some neat junk for sale. Take a look around!'
'Thanks, but I'm just here to get one thing. Do you sell any paper or notebooks?'
'As a matter of fact… I do! Last one actually.' Gerson reached under his shop counter and slapped a faded notebook onto the counter. 'That'll be 55 gold.'
Frisk shrugged and smiled nervously.
'You're a bit short on cash,' Gerson said as he held up a magnifying glass over his eye to help him see the money in her hand.
'I only have 32 gold. Maybe you could let me buy it a little cheaper?'
'Wa ha ha! If I gave out discounts to every little schoolgirl who came up short, I'd have to take out another loan. Besides, this isn't just any ordinary notebook! It gives +2 ATK and +6 INV.'
'Huh? What does that have to do with anything… That notebook doesn't even look new. The cover's all torn.'
'A little wear and tear indeed, but it's still the last notebook I've got. For some reason, I stopped getting new shipments of notebooks and paper. If not you, then someone else will surely pay full price for it.'
'Please mister, I really need a notebook! It's important! Maybe there's something else I could add to the money I have in return for it?'
'Ha! I'm tryin' to get RID of my junk, not get more of it!'
Frisk looked dejected.
'You're pretty determined, huh? Actually… maybe there is something that I would be willing to accept in return,' he said ominously.
Frisk gulped and apprehensively asked, 'Something else? Like, what?'
'Your skeleton.'
Frisk clutched her skeleton protectively and took a step backwards. 'No way!'
'Wa ha ha, just kidding!'
Frisk sighed.
'Seriously though, I do have an offer for you, if you really want it that badly.'
'Ok, what?'
'I'll sell you the notebook at a discount, if you fulfill a little quest for me first.'
'Huh? I don't really have time for side quests right now… I have to work out some calculations and call back my friends with the info as soon as possible.'
'Don't worry, it won't take you very long at all. It's such an easy quest, a child could do it!'
'Fine then. But, if this is some kind of trick, then I'm going to report you to my friend Undyne! She's the Captain of the Royal Guard and…'
Gerson burst into laughter. 'UNDYNE is your friend, human? Wa ha ha! I didn't realize he was training you in comedy too, kid!' He laughed while pointing to Sans. 'Wa ha ha ha! Hoo boy, that's a good one!'
At his words, Frisk felt a pang in her chest. But she tried to ignore it so she could pay attention to his explanation of her task.
'Alright then, here's your quest. It's very easy! All you have to do is… complete the piano puzzle and retrieve the legendary artifact.'
'Ok,' she nodded. 'Could you explain really well how to get there, because… I'm uh…' Her face turned red as she mumbled, 'I'm not very good at…'
'Don't worry, I marked it on your map. Just follow the icon and you'll be there in 5 minutes!' Frisk stared in amazement at the quest compass that popped up over her field of vision.
5 minutes later… 'Wow, that was a more convenient way through!' Frisk noted as she strolled back along the rainy path and plunk'd the red umbrella back into the bucket. She paused as the guiding quest icon swivelled out of her view.
Wait, what? Back to the Umbrellas? I guess I need one of these. She picked up the umbrella and opened it again. Now the icon marker was pointing at the melancholy statue. She put the umbrella in the statue's hand. Raindrops cascaded down the plastic fabric and spilled down over the small structures at the statue's feet. A music box inside the statue began to play. The music kept playing and didn't stop. Frisk stood for a minute just enjoying the peaceful lullaby. Sans seemed to like it as well. After a minute he stirred in his sleep and turned his head. Frisk shook out of the trance continued on her way.
She followed the quest marker to a room containing a piano.
* Play the piano?
→ Yes.
No.
She set Sans down. She shyly pressed a few keys on the piano. 'Hehehe!' She giggled and plunked some more keys. There's some directions on the wall over here. 'Only the first 8 are fine.' 'Oh, I get it! I have to play that song from the statue.'
She sat down at the piano again. 'Uh… how did it go? Like this? No, that's not right…' Behind her, Sans shifted uncomfortably as she plucked random notes.
'No, no, that's not how it sounded! I'll just go back real quick and listen again!' She got up and headed for the door, but whirled around and ran back to her companion. 'Kyeh! I almost forgot!'
She carried him in her arms back to the statue. His smile deepened peacefully as she stood and concentrated on memorizing the song. 'Ok, I think I got it this time!'
She tried to play the piano again, but still failed to play the melody. 'I can't remember what note it started on. …Ugh! No, that sounds wrong…' Behind her, Sans grumbled. After she banged out another series of wrong notes, he started to sound really upset.
'Huh, what's wrong?!' She stopped playing and knelt by his side. 'Are you having a nightmare?! Calm down, it's ok!' He did calm down and smiled again.
'I don't suppose you'd like to wake up now and help me with this puzzle?'
Sans was unresponsive. Frisk sighed.
'Figures… Papyrus said 8 hours, so I probably won't be able to shake you awake until at least 2 PM… That is, assuming you're actually getting quality sleep with me carrying you around like this.' She stared doubtfully.
'Whatever, let's just figure out the first note of this song.' She was stumped though. Maybe I should go listen again…
'hmm,' came a gentle humming tone from behind her.
She lifted her hand from the piano and swirled around on the bench. Sans was still asleep, slumped against the wall. She stared curiously.
'Sans… Let's figure out the first note of this song,' Frisk repeated.
'hmm,' Sans hummed.
'Can you do that again?'
'hmm.' Frisk pressed some keys.
'Again.'
'hmm.' She went up a few notes until she managed to settle on it.
'I think I got it. Again Sans.'
'hmm.' Yes that's it!
'Sans, hum the rest of the song.'
'hm hm hm hm hm-hm-hm, hm hm hm hm-hm-hm.' IT'S WORKING!
'Sans, hum the song again!'
'hm hm hm hm hm-hm-hm, hm hm hm hm-hm-hm.'
'Only the first 8 are fine!'
'hm hm hm hm hm-hm-hm' Wow, I didn't know he could sing that high.
'Again!' She demanded more humming as she kept trying to match the notes and remember which ones she had pressed correctly on previous trials.
'Again!'
'hm hm hm hm hm-hm-hm'
She groaned and scratched her itchy chest. 'Ughhh I'm having such a bad time with this puzzle!'
'dododo do, do do doo dododo'
'WRONG SONG SANS!' she snapped.
10 minutes later, Frisk finally got it right after many iterations, trials, and errors.
Brrrrm. The hidden doorway opened.
Carrying Sans over her shoulder again, Frisk walked through the doorway. The next room was simple and contained a pedestal with a red orb on display.
'Finally!' Frisk sighed in relief and strolled up to the pedestal.
* It's a legendary artifact. Will you take it?
→ Take it
Leave it
Frisk reached her free hand towards the artifact.
* You're carrying too many dogs.
Frisk blinked. 'What?'
Her legs buckled under the weight she carried, as if Sans had suddenly shot up to the mass of an adult male human. She fell over backwards with him landing on top of her.
'A-ah! What the—' She realized that the weight came from a bulge in the pocket of Sans's black hoodie. Not knowing what it was or if it was dangerous, she pulled the whole thing off him before proceeding with the next step.
She grabbed the bit of white fluff poking out of the pocket, anchored the hoodie against the ground with her boots, and pulled. A doggy butt popped out of the pocket. She continued to tug it loose like a stubborn radish.
'Ngrah!' she yelled and yanked. The doggy butt popped loose as the Frisk butt landed on the ground.
* You deployed the dog.
The annoying dog hopped around happily and barked. A strange chiptune sounded througout the room. Frisk saw the dog turn and bounce towards the pedestal. She tried to scramble to her feet, but it was too late.
The dog absorbed the artifact. It barked proudly and ran away to the sequel.
The artifact was gone.
Frisk fell back onto her knees and stared blankly. Sans, Sans's hoodie, and her fedora were strewn about on the ground around her.

It was Undyne calling.
ring ring ring
ring ring ring-Click.
'Yo! How's it going over there?'
'…'
'Have you worked out the shipping instructions? Did you get your notebook, or whatever it was you needed?'
'a-… i-…' Frisk's voice cracked when she tried to form syllables.
Undyne became impatient. 'Advisor! This is your Captain asking you a question! Report your status!'
'I-I'm sorry… I messed up…' Frisk burst into tears. 'I, I couldn't afford it, so he said he'd give it to me if I did the piano puzzle, but, w-what am I even doing, this is such a waste of time, ugh I'm s-such an idiot, I-I'm sorry…'
'HEY!' Undyne snapped. 'Don't cry like a little baby! I ORDER you to cheer up right now, or else I'mma come over there and give you a noogie… A NOOGIE OF CHEER!'
Frisk let out a little laugh and sob at the same time. 'Uh, that's ok! A-actually, you know, maybe I don't really need a n-notebook after all… I can just draw in the dirt! Yeah, it'll be fine!'
'Frisk, look this is getting a little weird…' Undyne sighed. 'Honestly, it's been bugging me since this morning, but I didn't want to bother you about it since what we're doing now seems more important…'
'Oh.'
'So, uh… I was wondering, if you're a…'
'I'm what?'
'Err… hah… Man, I'm sorry this is so awkward… I've never had to ask someone this before.' She scratched her other fish-fin-ear with her free hand.
'Are you avoiding me?'
Frisk held back a gasp as her body lurched as if struck by a blow. Here we go. Think of a clever excuse. 'Ah…' Make something up. Blame Sans.
'Yeah. I am.' She was surprised by the tears that flowed freely down her face. Undyne listened, speechless.
'I'm sorry, Undyne! I lied to you… You're right, I've been avoiding you. I've been making up stories and excuses, decieving you, and lying to you so that we won't meet… it's disgusting really… The truth is, I'm… h… h-hiding something from you. Something that I don't want you to find out. And, I'm scared, 'cause, if you see me, then you'll find out, and then you'll h-hate me…'
'What? No way. I won't hate you.'
'You will,' said Frisk. 'I'm so sorry… Please forgive me…'
'Look, Frisk, I don't really get what you're talking about. Everything you just said sounded like a lot of wimpy nonsense to me! I don't know what it is you think is so bad you can't tell me, but, whatever it is, I swear that I will NEVER betray one of my friends!'
'H-huh,' Frisk sounded surprised. 'Undyne, are we f-friends?'
'Duh! What—you think that just because I don't know what you look like and you've got a few secrets, that means we can't be friends?! Then you seriously underestimated my friendship powers! I got TONS of friends with secrets. I don't have to know EVERYTHING about someone to know when their heart's in the right place. I'll show you, punk! The more secrets you have, the better friends we'll be! And since you're the most mysterious person I know, that means… I'll have to make you love me so much… THAT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE WILL REVOLVE AROUND ME, NGA HA HA HA HA Ha Ha! You and I are not just gonna be friends… we're gonna be besties.'
Frisk covered her mouth with her free hand and squeezed her eyes shut.

'OK Frisk?!'
'M, m-hmm,' she nodded, wanting nothing more than to believe her.
'There we go!' Undyne said, sounding pleased. 'I'm such a good friend, I'll even help you avoid me from now on! Now, calm down and tell me what happened, k?'
'O-ok…' Frisk calmed down and told Undyne what happened.
After hearing the story, Undyne said, 'Oh my god dude! Of all the stupid pranks today…'
'What do you mean?'
'Frisk, you know I'm the one who built that puzzle and put the red orb there!?'
'You did?'
'Yes, and do you know who sold that thing to me?'
'Who?'
'Gerson.'
Frisk made a Frisk face and said, 'Oh.'
Undyne made an Undyne face and said, 'Uh-huh.'

- Is there a way to get the red artifact in Undertale? 4 answers
So I was about to go to undine but then there was a statue!
I gave the statue an umbrella and it started to play a song and gave me music directions... So I go to the piano in the other room and play the notes it gave me, and a door opens!
But when I go to collect the artifact it says I have 'Too many dog' when I drop the dog it takes my artifact!
How do I get it back? Or is it used for a later battle? I also searched Google and Arqade part of SE.

You sure you don't have something special in your inventory after that event ?
You actually have an item that could qualify as a powerful artifact, The 'Dog Residue' fills your inventory with 'Dog Salads' and other 'Dog Residue'. Granting theoretical infinite money (with the Temmie shop) and infinite healing items (Dog salads).

You will not be getting the artifact back. There is no way to retrieve it once it is absorbed.
