Ghosting Olmec! - Spelunky

The new content patch for Spelunky on Steam makes it possible to ghost Olmec without dying during the cutscene. So obviously I had to do that. This is the highlight clip from the full run which went down on the February 8 edition of the BaerTaffy Live Show.

Hi! I'm BaerTaffy, but people usually call me Baer. You can be people, too! The main focus of my channel is gameplay walkthrough videos, or "Let's Play" videos as they're more commonly known. I also host a series called "Baer-ly Played", where I do short and sweet game reviews. I'll also do game previews on occasion, and you can find me live streaming almost every day over on Twitch!

When I read the title, I expected Olmec to turn into a giant diamond.

[@nax1075]

Me too :D :D

[@bbenny9033]

same

[@bakrobertjohnston4889]

video.james turn Olmecs forehead into a more valuable gem

[@honeybadyal804]

Me too

[@Seksualka-tt6gv]

Ye, so that vid is useless

[@MarrCh96]

I wish that if the ghost passed over Olmec's ruby forehead that it would turn into a diamond.

[@yugijak]

That's what I was thinking!

[@whataboutwaxy]

Same

[@whataboutwaxy]

And I know you can see the notification so hi!!

[@yugijak]

Hi (as a kite, the bird not the object)

[@Broketheair]

I feel stupid now. I majorly misunderstood every instance of hearing "we can ghost Olmec now". I was so hype for his gleaming diamond visage.

[@carterrezac4112]

Spelunky 1.? is the Ghostable Olmec Gem Update. Or at least we hope so.

[@KatarinaDuCoutaeu]

Now you need to ghost the rubys on Yama

[@elianyaa]

If that's possible we have a new meta xD So much money!

[@KoopaKrump]

TheRandomMan20111 It also already was possible. You just couldn't break the third altar before hell. :D

[@indeimaus]

Sexy thumbnail as per usual Baer.

[@eutrader74]

Even better, the diamond from Bejeweled/Plants vs. Zombies is in it.

[@Meoin]

Your score going into the Olmec level was 696925, NL would be proud. Kappa

[@MSOGameShow]

I'd have laughed if he got distracted by the subscription announcement and got killed by the ghost.

[@SilverKnight16]

Gonna be honest, I thought this was a Spelunky 2 video, and I've never clicked so fast in my LIFE. This is still pretty sweet, though. Long live the Olmec fight music.

[@jakehock]

I've never heard such unrestrained Joy from you! baerGlee

[@sninctbur3726]

Now that I think of it, Olmec should be able to turn into diamond when the ghost flies through him.

[@danielcollier888]

+Turd Ferguson He's gold not gem :I

[@lolwutman]

His head has a ruby :P

[@linkeffect82]

Personally, I think it would be more awesome/freaky if the ghost possessed Olmec and he became some super version of himself that could slam down faster and fly around on occasion with insta-kill on touch mechanism intact.

[@fangorn23]

That sounds kinda fun, I'd like to see that but only as ... like 'rage mode' or something after Olmec has crushed half the blocks to the lava. otherwise you wouldnt be able to ghost Olmec

[@WonderWaffleNin616]

I swear, Baer's cheerfulness is just contagious.

[@AlexanderHarris]

Or even just a cosmetic change on Olmec. Like what if the ghost turned Olmec's forehead jewel into a diamond?

[@fisheatsyourhead]

if only you could ghost the gem on olmec's head...

[@mudkip20001]

imagine if you could ghost olmec himself! ghoulmec, even! a platinum version of olmec, where he drops, like, a million diamonds upon defeating him, until he burns up completely! SPELUNKY GUY! GET BILL NYE ON THE PHONE! TELL ME IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO!

[@brytonbreese2475]

The science guy? how old are you?!

[@basmidesigner6810]

حدود الحلو الحلو الحلو هاي ما تردوني عليها و تقولي

[@linkeffect82]

Pretty great run there, good work!

[@carterrezac4112]

Ghost the trophy you get from beating Yama. Ultimate goal.

[@falkusmoino486]

150.000$ in Olmecs Lair .. nice ;)

[@ChristianCTaken]

Whoa, that's a nice-looking UI.

[@dotspot5963]

This man deserves more subs than he has!

[@infernogott]

You got 150k out of Ghosting Olmec. Pretty good, but the City of Gold is still better for using up your bombs.

[@Supware]

Why do I only get one early ghost when I destroy 3 altars? ):

[@emmettrichardson5833]

there is a number of different things that you may have did wrong... you have to have the ball and chain in the Olmec level so do not destroy the ball and chain until in if that does not help I don't know what is wrong.

[@jmlowen]

Hey Baer is the indie spotlight going to be posted on the KZbin?

[@cowink03]

Lol that was a awsome run!

[@jaspermackenbach]

Is it possible to somehow ghost Yama? If not, you gotta find a way to do that, that would be so friggin awesome!

[@VoidHugger]

I thought the ghost would turn olmec into a diamond;_;

[@wikinfei]

went into olmec with 696925 and finished with 850675 a difference of 153750 profit from ghosting olmec

[@gamingmalarkey]

thats a cool change

[@poobahschobah1921]

You mean ghosting olmecs LAIR olmecs ruby on his head is not ghostable!

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

Thank you.

[@gabethemanification]

next objective: ghosting yama!

[@bakrobertjohnston4889]

I wanna know if you can ghost the gem olmec has in his head

[@johnronning2627]

Baer u do gooood

[@antonyassadourian3532]

How do we get the temple shortcut

[@MrTigerblitz]

Bring the key from the mines to the tunnel man

[@BigBait12]

Wait a minute... does this mean you can ghost the gems below Yama's throne now?

[@moaqyigl]

you always could ghost yama, olmec was un-ghostable until now because the ghost would have killed the player while in the 'cutscene'.

[@BigBait12]

I did not know that, thanks :D

[@gwuhgolabbuh]

that's the patch

[@sawsonex3215]

Nice!

[@Triking66]

Your profile pic is nearly the same as mine XD

[@taylormoreira1266]

only people wich has completed hell can like this

[@glaubertrodri]

contrato final

[@AlexanderHarris]

Aww, I'm actually disappointed. I thought you could *literally* ghost Olmec and turn him into a giant jewel or something. Wouldn't that be cool?

[@ticctacc609]

If I were you, I would be creeped out!(about the ghost)

[@mudkip20001]

#GHOULMEC #GHOSTINGTHEOLMEC #2SPOOKY2ME #2SPOOKY4ME #3SPOOKY5ME .... i'm so sorry.... it took a year and a half of training to get to this point....

[@eutrader74]

#BærTaffy

[@omer21104]

Can you do the same with yama?

[@sweaty_gus6743]

How Much Mon Mon Gives THe Diamond?

[@ino145]

When will this be released? :(

[@bluewulv]

How is this game different from steam compared to xbox 360?

[@alexfahrnbach1506]

Steam has daily challenge. You can cascade with sticky bombs... you can't in xbox360. The death match has more customization. Sorry if I'm missing anything...

[@TheMecube]

Ghost yama.

[@Teejayleger]

What happends after you beat splenkey, anything?

[@isaacperez8548]

There is ways to cross spelunky there it a hell and secret levels if you cross the hell you crossed spelunky, but secret levels are just like levels

[@dominykaslukosius9057]

Bear Taffy can you link me where to download spelunky on pc on windows

[@johnjohnson3681]

+Banba Gaming Steam

[@tylerjarman2699]

[@valdin450]

Is that a custom HUD?

[@estoniagaming710]

what does 'ghosting' mean? I know, i am a noob but i wanna know.

[@ashley13150602]

Estonia Gaming when ghost touchs jewels they change to diamond, which is more expensive. I think that he use word ghosting for this process

[@estoniagaming710]

뉴비현 ok thanks :)

[@jamesrapattoni5003]

did you start from mines

[@etherealkid9455]

Don't be mean @Gavin Allred

[@glaubertrodri]

[@quilverr613]

What is that gun you're holding?

[@TheJoey2011]

Tom Humbles Plasma Cannon

[@quilverr613]

TheJoey2011 yeah I found out before but thanks anyway!

[@Stergeman]

Is the new patch out?

[@Stergeman]

***** Thanks Baer! Really excited for the new HUD :D

[@EnchantedSmellyWolf]

You never ghost Olmec but the level itself.

[@suspectsn0thing]

What is "ghosting"?

[@SockMachineKnitting]

The ghost can turn large gems, such as Rubies and Sapphires, into Diamonds when she touches them. This is 'Ghosting'.

[@suspectsn0thing]

TheMGH7531 Yeah, figured this out already. Thanks anyway, though! You're awesome!
