If the player confuses the last question with the alphabetical order (but answers correctly), the mercy bar will only be half full.

If the Task Manager was successfully recruited, she will intervene at the end of the battle with the mousevile and help the heroes spare its life. She will also be present during the creation of the Whammy Machine before the final battle with the GIGA Queen, bringing her organization to the battle. She can later be found in the Castle Town café, performing on stage with other characters.

In Weird Route, the Task Manager appears on the third floor of the Queen's mansion and blocks the path to the rest of the building, making a fight with her inevitable.

Tactics in battle
In combat, the Task Manager divides the field into four zones, labeled A, B, C, and D. She throws a whip that fires three waves of projectiles that scatter in all directions.
In combat, you can use commands that affect the level of mercy:
"SoftVoice" (Ralsei's action) - increases mercy by 5%.
"Command" - Increases mercy by 10% and forces her to use a letter attack.
"OrderX" - Increases mercy by 25% and also makes her use a letter attack.

Interesting facts
The character was originally named simply "Task" (like her "task"), and she was a lion tamer. The whip in her hand is a nod to that early concept.
In the summer of 2023, it was revealed that Task Manager (like the Queen) was voiced by Toby Fox.

The Task Manager is a miniboss from Deltarune, encountered in Chapter 2, in the Queen's Mansion. Her name is a pun on "task manager."

Appearance:
Task Manager is a cybernetic Darkner, vaguely resembling a cat. She has a white diamond-shaped head, large yellow eyes with long eyelashes, and a crescent-shaped mouth. The inside of her head is blue. At the back of her head is a tuft of blue hair, and on top are pointed protrusions resembling cat ears. A fork with a long blue cord, resembling a cat's tail, protrudes from the back. She wears a white qipao-like outfit with a collar and shoulder pads, and a blue ribbon around her waist. Underneath the qipao are black leggings and white and blue boots. In Chapter 4, she appears in a dark blue strapless dress with a blue brooch and black shoes. She has white flying palms and blue fingers, and in her left hand she holds a blue whip with a ball and four yellow spikes at the end.

Character and role
As the Queen's maid and the overseer of the "tasks" (her charges), the Task Manager strives to maintain order in the mansion. She cares deeply for her "tasks" and takes pride in their good behavior. She also actively combats "pests" within the mansion.

She has a strong dislike for clowns, likely because they represent chaos and disorder. She also knows about Jevil and despises him for his penchant for chaos, even asking the player to remove items associated with him (the Devil's Knife and the Devil's Tail) if they are in his possession.

Interaction and combat
The Task Manager first appears in a room with portraits of tasks. When talking to her, she'll ask if the heroes would like to help her organize her paintings. Refusing will immediately start a fight, but accepting will prompt her to ask three questions. For example, "Which painting's name is first in alphabetical order?" or "Which painting's name is third in alphabetical order?"

If you answer all the questions correctly, the battle will begin with a full "mercy" bar, allowing you to immediately spare the Task Manager.
