Spelunky 2 temple3/30/2023 You never know when something that looks ripe for the picking turns out to have a spider dangling over it or a spike pit beneath it. Do nothing aside from finding the exit in each stage. Every other objective should be pushed out of your mind.ĭon’t worry about anything else. But when you’re bringing the key to the Tunnel Man, that’s all you’re doing. Gem collection, fighting monsters, rescuing damsels, and so on. Long before you’re asked for the key, you “learn” to prioritize certain things. This is important, and it’s difficult at first to remember. Once you have the key, though, you need to be all business. Use however many rooms until that point to rack up your money and scratch your explorational itch. Once the key does spawn, wherever that is, your strategy needs to change immediately. If it doesn’t spawn in 1-3, do the same thing there. Explore it thoroughly, gather everything you can, save the damsel, and don’t use up your bombs and ropes. If it doesn’t spawn in 1-2, treat that room the same way. You’ll need those tools later.įrom rooms 1-2 through 1-4, the key can spawn. Don’t use bombs and ropes to get to inaccessible areas, though…not even for a damsel. You won’t need much money in this run, but having it helps, and this is the only guaranteed safe time to gather it. Rescue the damsel for a (more or less) free hit point. Eliminate enemies so they won’t trap you or surprise you later. That means that - mercy of mercies - you can play the game normally! So, y’know. The first room is crucial for this run, as the key will never spawn here. Getting the Golden Key to the Tunnel Man Exploit that First Room! So here are a few things they can do to make it easier. When somebody asks for help, it’s because they already know that. And I’m going to provide actual, real, genuine, usable, helpful advice here, instead of the vague platitudes I usually see. There’s a lot you can do, and be aware of, that will help you carry that damned key from the beginning of world one to the end of world three. Mainly it was just people saying, “Keep trying.” Or “Just focus on getting better at the game.” And that’s good advice, but it’s not enough advice. I’ve never written something like this before, but when I looked for a resource that would help, I couldn’t find one. That’s why I’m writing this guide for anyone who has as much trouble getting that key to the Tunnel Man as I did. To layer that challenge on top of Spelunky‘s already steep difficulty and randomly generated levels…and your own character’s comical fragility…well, let’s just say that it took me sporadic play over the course of several years to accomplish this.ĭo I suck? Sure I suck! I suck less than I used to, but Spelunky is a game that continues to challenge even the best players, as its procedural generation algorithm requires every player to find a brand new strategy every time. It’s a difficult task, because while you are holding the key you can’t hold anything else, or attack with your whip, and if you drop it into a spike pit or something…well, you need to start all over again. It’s available on just about everything that doesn’t say “Nintendo” on it.īut only recently did I finally unlock the last shortcut in the game…the one that requires you to bring a golden key all the way from the Mines to the end of the Ice Caves.
