Discovering the ULTRA SECRET AREA in Spelunky 2!

MAJOR SPELUNKY 2 SPOILERS BELOW, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I couldn't be happier to have first discovered the Eggplant World area in Spelunky 2. It's not as hard as the first ever Eggplant run, not even close, but I think there may be more to the run than meets the eye and will be continuing to attempt to solve the mysteries on my stream. This was a dream come true and I'm ready to start tackling the Cosmic Ocean's secrets next!

Your reaction to seeing Yama was probably the best Spelunky-related thing to ever happen, period. I almost wish you sat down for a bit more and continued your little talk with him, about your place in the universe, the meaning of life, and how to properly prepare eggplants so they don't taste like sweaty armpits. But I understand, it was very overwhelming. Rest easy, Eggplant King.

that last error was the true embodiment of suffering; almost finishing, yet a wrong number in the game's program, can cause everything to all end abruptly, yet so sudden.
