Spelunky 2 secrets series#

Health is usually better than money if you’re trying to win the game.Open-able items can be opened by pressing up+X as long as you’re on the ground.Thrown items have different trajectories based on whether you are rising or falling in your jump.

Crawling over a ledge will cause you to toss your item in a confined space, this item will hit you and knock you off the ledge.

If stunned, you don’t take fall damage.

You can also fall an infinite distance as long as you land on an enemy.

You can fall an infinite distance without taking damage as long as you grab a ledge instead of hitting the ground.

A stone is ideal since it never breaks, but a vase, skull or arrow will suffice.

Carrying a throw-able object with you at all times is useful early on, especially if you don’t have a weapon.

When in the dark, re-light a washed out torch by bringing it to one you’ve already lit on the wall.

By crouching next to a ledge and using rope, you can drop it straight down (the hook starts next to you, then the rope descends from there).

Rope is the only object which flies straight up, and is the ideal way for protecting your head as it does 1 damage (killing most small enemies).

Mastering this will be incredibly difficult, but protecting your head with the whip will be infinitely useful.

Also look before you leap, soaring through the air leaves you vulnerable to what’s on the other side, make sure you’re prepared for it.

Look down! Holding down will allow you to see what’s below you, and is one of the most useful things in the game.

At the very bottom of this guide is our tips to completion, and they include information from every single thing, including the secrets, but they’re also our most comprehensive (and tested) tips for success. Everything you’ll experience for the majority of your “newbie” experience is just below and none of it is entirely shocking, though there’s much useful information there. That said, there are plenty of spoilers in here as well, but we have separated each and every collection of tips by section of the game to which they pertain. We have no intention of spoiling the whole game for you, so the secrets and unlockables are on their own page, away from the tips and tricks. That said, if you’re frustrated, or if you have to find the secrets right-just-now, we welcome you to enjoy our wealth of information. We recommend you not look at this guide until you’ve died at least 100 times. You should experience that, and you should do so without this guide. Part of the glory of Spelunky’s design is finding out how things work, the nature of the AI and of the ever-changing environments. It’s about failure, about dying, about losing, about learning from each and everything you see that inevitably kills you. Spelunky is first and foremost about adventure. This guide has a deluge of tips and tricks for you to employ in your journey through Spelunky, as well as an ever growing account of all the secrets and unlockables in this game. While every adventure through Spelunky results in a score, and surely that is important, the real goal here is to make it to the end and get the treasure spoken of only in whispers in back alleys and on forums.

Sure, a lot of that was just to find information, but we assure you the death counts for this game will be in the thousands for most players. In no capacity is it easy, and in fact as of writing I have died ~600 times. Turkeys for instance, can jump further than the player and use their wings to glide for a short time.Spelunky, Mossmouth‘s gift to the platforming and roguelike world, is not easy. Climb onto the backs of certain animals, and with a bit of coaxing, they can be made to be quite valuable allies. Finally, there are now ridable mounts such as turkeys in Spelunky 2. As always, avoid angering the Shopkeepers because they are even more powerful now than they were before. Players are encouraged to take a look and spend some money to hopefully win terrific prizes.

They are now hosting a series of special games on top of the spinning wheel game from the first. The Shopkeepers have been busy since the last game. Take extreme caution when diving into one of these path ways. Some of these areas are where new player characters will be hiding, and some of them will hold treasure guarded by various enemies. These secret paths are now dotted throughout the world and lead to hidden areas of the game. When encountering mini-bosses, players can find secret paths that lead to the exit of the level without having to fight. There are now multiple ways to exit levels.
