NL Died to fall damage because he was cursed instead of being stunned and getting sac'd, you hate to see it. If only he knew you could cure it

[@StephenSweat]

Ahh, I was wondering. Was such a shame, but a damn good try.

[@davidpapai4018]

Can't self sac at 1hp. Dan tried the same thing no curse.

[@jakesteel4916]

@@davidpapai4018 You can, but not through fall damage. You have to get one of the leprechauns to stun you on the altar.

[@cizd]

I would blame the Wiki for that. If the Wiki was updated he would have known.

[@LarkyLuna]

When you google about the curse, there`s a big text from google about how it`s not curable Google giving answers instead of just providing links gives so much bad intel

This is the funniest comment I’ve read in a while

[@baronvonooze4959]

The hired help carrying a shopkeep at 15:30 scared the shit out of me

[@mrbasy9620]

NL 2 things to know: 1) in order to get to the duat you need to have at least 2hp so you die from the sacrifice not from the fall. 2) you can get rid of the curse if you make an item worth sacrifice to Kali.

[@maxjax9051]

You can have 1 hp, Just have a leprechaun stun you on the alter

[@chazdomingo475]

#2 hurts the most.

[@lapsijahti]

2) If I'm not mistaken you need to get invigoration (royal jelly or elixir) to get rid of the curse, not just “sacrifice anything”.

[@mrbasy9620]

@@lapsijahti you can either do what you said in your comment but if you make a sacrifice worth of an item you will get rid of the curse

[@DestroManiak]

@@mrbasy9620 what is "item worth sacrifice", is that a technical term

Here it is the exact episode I have been waiting for.

Ryan, I’ve been watching a long time, and I’ve always gotten mad(while still being entertained by) at some of the bad plays you make in games. With Spelunky 2, after watching you die so much I decided to buy the game for myself and try it out... I just wanna say I’m sorry for all the times I yelled at you through my screen, this game is quite hard. New found respect for you brother.

[@nyelapheles5185]

Cowboy Killer basically same here. Hes SO good but so unlucky (and impatient). Have fun with your game

[@deltawolf1124]

The hardest part is trying to play at a slower pace after watching so many videos of NL scrambling around like a madman lol

[@Rogther]

He's just mechanically good, so when he gets lucky with items and level generation he manages to get through, but he plays so erratically that it backfires when the game doesn't wanna help him

[@thomasdupuy116]

"I'm definitely not back yet, don't expect anything" he says as he posts 3 videos and an hour and a half stream 8 days after the birth of his first child

[@Sahin2N]

This is like the opposite of every episode so far. Kappala really early, easy blackmarket, just overall not the unluckiest run ever (which is pretty rare at this point)

[@superpanda305]

The horned lizards have strange interactions with shop keeps, if a lizard rolls into the shop and hit the shop keep he'll drop his gun and won't be aggro towards you

[@enigmaticwalrus]

27:29 immediately made me think "we milk this city" to the tune of We Built This City by Starship Glad everything is going well for you and your family NL 🙂

[@punpunonodera4121]

Actually there are 2 ways of curing a curse SPOILERS 1. Kali cures it as a reward on altar. 2. Star challange reward on the temple.

[@GappyYT]

Dying and coming back with the ankh also removes the curse

[@RosieJonesRules]

Elixir cures curse

[@punpunonodera4121]

@@RosieJonesRules yeah thats the star challenge reward lol

[@nathanprice8651]

I thought it was the clone gun?

[@AbeClancy]

@@nathanprice8651 If you're cursed, you receive 'Elixir' instead.

[@DiabeticGingerWasSomehowTaken]

I think we can all agree diaper physics are one of the most difficult forms of physics to comprehend

[@defeater5497]

Yay! I can't stop myself from smiling a giant shit eating grin when watching the post baby videos. We are truly blessed to have NL with us this early. I feel so lucky with every video that shows up in my feed. Sending good vibes your way, hope your naps are pogged and you have more easy nights than hard.

[@MellowJelly]

what is a shit-eating grin? why do people even say that?

[@Prodigi50]

MellowJelly Are you not a native English speaker? To answer your question it’s just a turn of phrase with questionable beginnings, like “kicking the bucket” and “tired as hell”.

[@BCGpp]

@@Prodigi50 or moving the needle

[@gmsh3794]

for future reference: curse can be cured with elixir (from the stars challenge) or royal jelly (from kali or the bee level)

[@rudolfskaukis9382]

You can put a baby in a "rhythm" by feeding her every 2,5 - 3 hours, will have to wake her from a nap from time to time, but she will get used to it quite fast. At night let her wake up and "ask" for food herself. Makes it easier to plan your day. My english ain't good enough to explain it properly, look it up on google or ask your family medicine doctor.

[@vantharion]

Also note: When he mattock'd the heavy blocks, they released blood. Odd.

[@eldabys]

Even with the end there that has to be one of the most impressive spelunk 2 runs NL has had so far. MASSIVE dad energy.

[@lolatomroflsinnlos]

He now has the strength of a grown man *and* a little baby

[@0oSiLveRo0]

The Baby has given him even more power!

[@mityakiselev]

Wow, NL has had quite an explosion of skill since his baby was born. I guess you could call him a baby boomer

Baby Bloomer

[@reya6188]

Ryan saying it’s been so much at the beginning of this video without saying one week afterwards has left me with the unsatisfied feeling like a sneeze that just won’t come

[@Olhado256]

6:05 you can literally see his murder instict kick in. He wasn't thinking about it at all and then he saw the machete.

[@LukeGeaney]

23:45 spelunky ghosts evoke more fear than any real one ever could

[@WarmMilch]

Loving the NL, Malf & Baer spelunky series lately

[@requiem7516]

man im really lovin this series , cannot wait for all the baby anecdotes . seriously pogged out of my gourd on this one

[@FallenSnakashi]

Awww , The Duat oversight got me too. I didn’t really think about that 1hp is required for that fast dizzy state on the alter.

[@jsclairmont]

its like 12-15 months when she starts walking - that's when you will lose time. glad everyone is doing good and glad to have you back.

[@nitryon9197]

he's schmoven on those first few floors... you can see the improvement

[@agediho6009]

Hope you're having a nice day in diaper kingdom

[@Erspel]

I might rethink eating while watching NL videos simply because anecdotes about baby feces and similar will be a lot more common than before

[@Letrus100]

NL on 1-4 you can sometimes use one bomb to get under the ladder to the right near the center door to get a better shot at the shopkeeper. Sometimes there is a small wall blocking the shots but a lot of the time there isn't.

[@int3r4ct]

How is sleep deprived NL seemingly better than well rested NL? Idk but let's GOOO

[@ZeroJinKui]

you're literally the only person i watch play this game, NL, cause i'm not interested in anyone else's progress or skill at the game, i don't watch videos for high skill, i watch for high entertainment value. you are the single most entertaining player of this game, but don't undersell yourself, you ARE good at this game, maybe not the best, but you ARE good at it, far better than i and many others could ever hope to be, certainly. i will forever be a loyal member of the lion pride. :D

[@pious83]

Congrats on the Baby news, NL! RIP Sleep for the next 2-3 years!!

[@usernamenickname1]

You are the most consistent youtuber ever. Been with you for years. Didn't understand most of the words at that time. Thanks for english lessons dude.

[@Bullet5torm]

Congratulations NL crazy to watch you for so long and for you to have a baby it mind blowing to me. Anyways keep making incredible entertaining videos

[@lewrule1998]

Congrats on fatherhood NL, you're my hero.

[@AE1OU]

You didnt go to Duat because you needed to be alive but stunned while on the altar to be sacrificed. With only 1 heart you basically died and activated the ankh XD

[@pikamoustache1146]

NL now back with radiating dad energy has buffed him to pogged levels

[@bigblueshoe777]

My dead Egg Dad, with that first couple minutes lemme just say it sounds like you've already got the understanding on how this all works. Congrats on the kid, my next one comes in a month!

[@Whitefire96]

The pogs of 1000 fathers before him have gifted him strength.

[@bitdiablo5]

Congratz on properly taking care of your new egg, will be happy to see you playing spelunky 2 whenever you can. Stay awesome!

[@Voknerech10Z]

10:59 Now that's some real elite meme reference.

[@refusalskills]

Wow, that was an incredible run for being the first post-baby. I hope everything continues to go alright with balancing everything. Don't tire yourself out too much!

[@jjduncan8671]

Congrats man, probably pretty cool to look back on when this chanel started and where you are now.

[@eiv4705]

Just what I needed today,, welcome back NL!

[@TheAdoringFan7]

Dunk dunk a dee dunk dunk. Dunky dunky dunk dunk, been in my head all day, dont stop

[@pixstatic200]

I think the day he recorded a lot of the previous videos on was cursed

[@chazdomingo475]

I find when I play this game a lot, there's a curve where I peak after getting warmed up and then just fall off and can't make it past caves.

[@00dude3]

An easy way to see what level has the black market is if you have the compass it'll show two exits rather than one.

[@straattman]

The incredible egg returns with more incredible content let's go

[@NotSoRetro]

Congratulations on the baby, I had one myself 4 months ago. It's hard work but it pays off! Not in 4 months, perhaps, it's a marathon not a sprint. Best wishes!

[@x-ray3437]

Hey NL, you CAN cure curse by getting invigorating from Kali. However it doesn't give you any HP, just removes curse.

[@baseballgenius3]

When cursed, ghost comes 30 secs early. You died on impact of fall, so you never actually sac’d yourself. You could have used leprechaun to stun you on altar without taking damage to sac yourself in that situation.

[@whoisruben.]

i watch you vids in-between my zooms and this one was perfect timing

[@briansshare]

the hamilton references have been slowly sweeping into the egg

[@hunterislightning]

I removed my curse by sacrificing a third Monty at the alter!

[@rose_shaffer]

First two months with a new born is the hardest. You're not sure what they want at the time and there are times where all they want to do is cry.

[@Kimchivender]

20:51 NL I am not sure if this is the evolution of your humor being augmented by becoming a dad but never change brother

[@Shnarfbird]

I think the clover only works on the floor you get it, I would see it break when you change floors regardless of if you were under 3 minutes or not

[@HorseheadNebula85]

Hey bud, I love that you're a dad now! I took the plunge two years ago and it's the best decision my wife and I ever made. I've got a little girl as well. As a friend of mine says, "your kids don't make life easier, but they make it better." You're exactly the type of dude I love to see enjoying parenthood. Good luck to you and Kate!

Congratulations Ryan, I think you will be a great father.

[@Dragonemperess]

Hey, Horned Lizards shoot blood when weak. I'm sure you can make use of that with the kappala.

[@elijahagustino3605]

Every piece of HP did matter.

[@kosmosyche]

In fact, if he had just 1 HP more, he would have successfully sac'd himself on Kali's altar in the end and gone to Duat, as he had planned. Instead he just died on the altar from the fall and was reborn on the same stage without being sac'd.

[@EdShear_em]

Ok but The Drinker uploaded a review of the movie The Thing like right at the same time at this video and I can barely believe it's real it's such a nice coincidence.

[@HCarda22]

Ryan at least you are having your kid during a time where you wouldn't be going out much anyway. It might seem like bad timing but I think it might be great timing.

[@johnwardknox]

Congratulations on Fatherhood and the disappearing duat. However that is spelled.

[@firei11]

Dying to fall damage on 1 hp on the City of Gold altar and not getting to Duat is pretty lame. I'd be willing to call that a small oversight by Derek. I'd like if the Spelunky team patched the ankh so that specific interaction doesn't happen.
