Just figured out that if you walk, the cavemen that are sleeping don't wake up. I wonder if that can be used on a certain vampire that is giving me hell.

2 things I think will unironically make Spelunky 2 a better game A: Put shopkeeps behind bulletproof glass in the black market. The idea is that you can get the crown (reskinned Hedjet) with little risk, don't have to tick off the shopkeeps and you more then likely will escape with a free cape is one thing... but when you compare it to the black market it's just no contest. Sit on a ladder and watch them all kill themselves climbing into your feet, now you have every single item in the game for free and a fully loaded run. Shopkeeps waiting for you aren't a threat when you're a death god. If they kept the shop around and you had to buy stuff and couldn't steal you'd at least be able to be like 'maybe I can get MORE than the cape if I run into good deals...' Balance on that is just absurd B: Make it easier to heal curse. It takes like 4 entire floors of not getting hit and bringing the pet to the exit to get rid of it and that's way too goddamn unforgiving for something that has to lightly tap you in areas. If it gave any benefit at all maybe I'd understand but that's way too much. I think that the game does a lot right and this is just game balance really but a lot of the new zones just don't reward the player nearly as much as just playing Spelunky 1's routes. The Temple offers more than the Tidepool. The jungle offers way more than the volcana, it just needs to be evened out more. Jolo posted:Just figured out that if you walk, the cavemen that are sleeping don't wake up. I wonder if that can be used on a certain vampire that is giving me hell. Hot tip: There's a key and von horsesing in 2-1. Free him and he one shots the vampire for you when you go there.

The way I see it is, I don't have to beat Spelunky or reach a stratospheric skill level to enjoy it. But if those challenges exist, then it's going to make for loving amazing challenge and speed runs on youtube. Two big wins imo

That and despite finding a lot of secrets I have a hard time bringing myself to sacrifice the pets for the kapala so blood doesn't do much for me

I decided to give random online co-op a go. I was expecting it not to be good but OH MAN is co-op with randoms bad. People just blast through the level, don't collect treasure, ignore the key and chest, constantly break the ghost urn, and don't give people a chance to turn in a pet for HP. Dead players can control ghosts that can push items around and if charged, freeze things. This is only used to troll your team by pushing them around, pushing their bombs, pushing things out of the shop to force an illegal run, etc. It's cool they added online MP but under no circumstances would I recommend trying to play with random people unless you only want to experience a clusterfuck. I had a team make it to Volcana once and I have no idea how we got that far.

With the random helpers in that area, usually one of them can knock him down once. Once he's down it wouldn't be too hard to keep him down until he's dead with a weapon, but the whip alone doesn't cut it. I think my new gameplan without a weapon is grab the goody and gtfo. Check out this bat juking from his flight path to kill me here. I'm not sure what caused it. They're pretty consistent about flying towards you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWoOvneAaA

The game has kicked by rear end, I finally got the regular ending after 100+ deaths, some of them out of my control and some of them my own stupidity. The games packed, but maaan I wish some things were a little different, the moles and witch doctors are the worst, the final boss also has a bit too much hp even when using a shotgun. I wonder if they plan on adding content to this, so far I haven't seen the Viking, cyclops or ninja from the first game and wonder if they're even in or just cut.

Do you even need to fight (Volcana secret area spoiler) Vlad if you don't want his cape? Pretty sure you can just yoink the crown and run away if you want to. I had one run where Van Helsing showed up in (post Olmec) the Temple and gave me an Alien Compass. Not sure what that does.

I'll tier this spoiler: you use it to get to a familiar place in Spelunky HD think of a prominent place you havent seen yet that was relatively easy to get to, compared to all other secret areas like worm with a jetpack and alien compass check the bottom of ice caves to get to the alien mothership parthenocarpy fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Sep 24, 2020 |

For Vlad, you can absolutely steal his crown and run away - I made it my mission yesterday to get the crown so I could use it to get the weapon in the water ruins. Following a lot of boneheaded deaths in the volcano after managing to kill him, I had a run where all the little bald goons in Vlad's area ran away from the fight for some reason leaving me alone with him & unarmed so I took the crown and got out of there Has anyone been to (6-2 or 3 spoiler) Mama's place (I think its called) in neo Babylon? I poked my head in there out of curiosity and immediately was shot to death by some jerks behind the door without getting time to react... would love to know what the deal is as I'm not going there again until I've beaten the game

The Temple offers more than the Tidepool. Assuming you are doing a true ending run: what are you talking about? The base temple area is way more dangerous than tide pool. Duat is way more dangerous than Abzu. And perhaps most importantly you are forced to lose the ankh and any health totals on the temple route and not the other. Why would anyone actually go Temple over Tidepool? What does it offer besides a harder time?

What you need money for at that point? You don’t get poisoned by the snakes in Duat sniping from above or insta killed by crushing blacks or teleporting gators? And most importantly tbh, you’re fine with losing the ankh and resetting your health when you can keep the ankh going the other route? It’s brutal to have high health (royal jelly etc.) and a death do over removed on that route when you can keep them going tide pool. Like, it’s an absolutely insane difficulty increase to me with nothing in return. Also, if you don’t have paste how do you even deal with the Duat bosses?

I've been ignoring everything from this game since I'm waiting for the PC release (hoping for the possibility of a Switch release as well). How is it compared to the first game? I got every achievement on Spelunky 1 and love it. How's the music? That's the only thing I didn't really care for in the first game.

Music's great too! One of the tracks in world 2 or 3 sounds a bit Banjo kazooie-ish to me.

Osiris is honestly pretty easy to kill with just whip (though it does take forever), so as long as you can find a way to do something to A2bis it's no big deal. My preferred backup is spike shoes, but failing that you could maybe farm up extra favor while in golden city so Kali hooks you up with a power pack or some poo poo. Either way, not having paste sucks pretty much everywhere.

On that boss you have infinite rope for a reason. Just machine gun him with the rope.

Temple Secrets I've seen a streamer take Anubis II into the path of the giant snake in Duat to kill him. Not every layout will let you do that without bombing, of course.

Also, if you have a throwing mitt, make sure you don't throw dice into the repulsor or they'll go straight out of the shop area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owLf7moX1gI

Hihohe posted:Has anyone tried out the multiplayer? is it in any good? Online is fairly busted for many people at the moment based on what I've read and the fact that it's not going to be immediately available on the PC version. I put maybe 45 minutes into playing with randoms online and it was a bad experience. Most people are not very good at this game and you cannot communicate with them (which is good and bad). I think having online multiplayer will be great for coordinated playing with people you meet on discord who are willing to put effort into playing the game well.

Is Beg a monk or a rabbit I was talking with a friend and his answer was 'oh he's a rabbit guy, you can see a muzzle and stuff' where my vision is kinda blurred and I figured he just had those uh... monk ears I see time to time. The really long ones? I'm not sure what it's called. But it's on the moon so I have no idea.

brag posting Got my first 7-4 clear this morning!  Got a decent showing on my first daily run as well (spoiler character omitted)  I expect the insane million dollar runners to move me down the leaderboard but for now I'm proud  Kinda bummed they changed the (tide pool secret spoiler) lava draining technique that people were using to not consume their ankhs. Apparently you can still survive but it requires more bombs and ropes. I assume you'll want to bring a jetpack/vlad cape as well but I haven't pulled off the new technique yet.
