Skulls and pots are highly visible, and easy to avoid! They just sometimes happen to be safe.

you should assume every skull or pot you see is dangerous until proven otherwise

After not stepping on a bear trap in a while I just jumped right onto one of the new ones with the gold blip on top. I just didn't register the gold or the trap at all. I knew when I got up to 24 health that I'd definitely end up cursed, crushed, or trapped.

the bear trap update is on PS4 now I was having a helluva run just now, got Kapala, got Vlad’s Cape, got the Ankh, got lots of bombs and rope, was flying through and was sure that this would be The Run. I flew too close to the sun, got killed by the goddamn Yeti King.

IronicDongz posted:straight up if I don't have good tools for killing the big yetis I just skip that cave With practice using the shortcut to 5-1, I ended up settling on a "bomb bowling" technique that works really well. Your bombs will slide all the way to the end on the ice and bounce back just a tad. If you wait for Yeti Queen to get to the end you can blow her up with one bomb. She drops spike shoes and ropes so you can either do the same thing for Yeti King or try to spike shoe him. I just use a bomb for each of them usually. The tricky thing with the King is that if you drop down from the top level you might be close enough to anger him which stops him from walking around. Also they walk super slow so you may want to grab the clover in the room.

Bringing a land mine with you saves you a bomb and is even a little easier since it has a much shorter slide. The king will happily walk off the edge and fall into the spikes, too, if you bomb out a 2x gap in his floor.

New patch on steam is out, supposedly it fixes the achievements. Also I joined the "run as the movement default" cult cause my fingers were starting to get tired of holding the run button

Yeah, fortunately the King will spike himself if you make a drop.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I also found out that if you sacrifice more stuff to Kali after getting the Kapala you get the bee honey for more health, nice.

this is what I do every time: when he's first landed on the second level down, go next to him and wait for him to rise and show the orbs. jump up and hit one orb 3 times with a whip to break it, then hit the other orb twice. when you're ready to drop him, jump up and hit the remaining orb the last time and he will fall. you can throw a rock to make it safer but cape is safe enough imo

I must whine. Stole in 1-2, accidentally landed on a shopkeep while exiting 1-3. Game won't allow you to be forgiven between 1-4 and 2-1 for some reason, so presumably some time in 2-1 a shopkeep killed themselves and therefore were permanently aggro'd. I never touched another one so I know I didn't earn the ire. Despite that I get to 6-3 with few problems. Now, I know I shoulda just let the shopkeep get angry at the start of the level and run around, but I didn't because I assumed he'd blow up a bunch of stuff and send the entire contents of the world flying at me. I put myself in this situation. That being said 7 damage is bonkers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amnfcmur9ik 4 damage from the explosion of the plasma cannon. I've never seen this before. Does the suit taking critical damage just apply 4 damage to the player? The plasma cannon in HD did 20 dmg, I imagine in 2 it's 10 or more. What gives? 1 damage the very next frame from a shotgun flying through me. Invincibility frames are for earners! 1 damage from the olmite falling with me 1 damage from height I've been grumbling internally that Spelunky 2's threshold for collision speed has been made ridiculously low since I started playing. If an arrow misses you and hits a wall, it will gain enough speed to cause you damage before it gets halfway through that empty tile away from the wall. Arguably the damage from the olmite falling with me was caused by this very low threshold. I rest my case, Spelunky 2, I expect a heartfelt "ok" in writing.

How does grabbing priority work in this game? I have been in a few situations now where my survival dependend on me knowing which one of multiple overlapping objects I would pick up, and I'm not sure how to suss that out.

Will the hired hands try to kill you if you whip them first or did I just trigger some other kind of weird loop? I was just trying to get that sweet, sweet blood and they had the audacity to murder me!

I managed to get Speedlunky with a time of 6:38  I think now I just need to do a low gold run and fill out the last couple of journal entries. I've reached world 7 a good amount of times and beaten the boss but had totally been ignoring the whole thing with the bow so I guess I'll need to start adding that to my runs (I'm also missing the eggplant stuff but I guess I'll worry about that when I've done everything else since it sounds annoying)
