Spelunky - In One Run: Castle, Worm, Mothership and Hell

8:36 - Haunted Castle
16:06 - Worm
20:29 - Mothership
28:25 - City of Gold
33:50 - Hell
39:25 - Yama killed with the Crysknife(from the worm level)
If you don't know about this game.
Each time you die, you start back at the beginning "1-1". But the levels are randomly generated so they'll be different every time.
There are ways to unlock shortcuts, but the more you play this game the more you realize that's not the fun way to play it.
Once you get into it... it's hard to stop playing. Every run is so different.

Talk about taking the scenic route

[@tocaloni1]

I really enjoyed watching this gameplay, it was markedly more than those speed runs, where you don't see the full beauty of the game. But it also hasn't been a highscore run with every ruby in the wall - in my opinion that is really annoying to watch. In my eyes, you hit the happy medium... congrats on that (and on the victorious run too) :)

honestly atleast go to the black market with 50'000 if you can i understand if you cant but get the ankh it will save your ass and also just remember it can take like an hour to get a good run so just keep trying and im sure you guys will be able to do it gl also if you want a safer olmec fight then do this lure olmec to one side of the arena bomb around the other side untill you have a 5x5 pit into the lava then at the furthest side from olmec in the pit of lava place a rope lure olmec over then get on the rope so he will stomp into the lava i hope thats a good enough explanation but im unsure

Watching this gameplay made me so happy, watching my childhood. Its like its happening all over again, i miss the old spelunky and im sure you all do too, spelunky 2 is a great game but i will never forget spelunly 1. In my opinion og spelunky > spelunky 2 but that doesnt mean you guys cant prefer spelunky 2. It just made me really happy seeing theres a new spelunky game since i always missed the og. I havent played it in 3 years up until now in 2022 and seeing this gameplay made me remember it all again, i was gonna give up on it until i found the 2nd game :)

[@Primer9]

such a satisfying run

[@mmaforever594]

Best spelunky run on youtube

[@canada1529]

My strategy is to always get: A) Climbing Gloves B) A Compass C) A Shotgun Even if you have to rob/kill the shopkeepers. A shotgun makes fighting much less risky, and climbing gloves will basically make the ice world a piece of cake, and the compass is a godsend in those dark levels. What I’ll usually do is find the damsel, clear a path with the shotgun, drop it by the door, and then retrieve the damsel, picking up the gun again before I leave. This system seems to work best for me.

[@Dragon_starz]

Cool but my strategy is get more then 10 bombs. Always get the cup. Get a shotgun a jetpack.

[@yourmother9314]

Climbing gloves 🤮

[@Satans_Legion_of_Evil]

Don't forget a jetpack to travel faster. With jetpacks, ropes are useless.

[@saharahmed3516]

My own strat A) ALWAYS STEAL FROM SHOPKEEPERS, no matter how garbage the stuff they sell is B) use the bomb/rope lure trick for that C) get kapala when possible

Nice run !

[@Neon_Henchman]

I tried to do a let's play like this, but then I got the Castle entrance alongside the Black Market, it was a shame... Then I just lost motivation in the game. P.S.: Of course this was a good run, but what did it for me was how Olmec got into the lava without having to try to crush you, it was just a satisfying fit into the hole. My god, that was great.

[@Gingersnaperz]

Not sure how I just now got to this but this is awesome

[@sharksfan2041]

Just curious, but what's the name of the thing you grabbed at 17:31? How can you activate it? Edit: Also, what's the thing you picked up at 34:40? Is it a weapon?

[@pdxbla]

That's Crysknife at 17:31. If you pick it up it becomes your default attack by replacing your whip. Anything you can hurt will die instantly from it. At 39:28 I killed Yama with it. And at 34:40 that's Vlad's Amulet. It makes you completely immune to fire and lava. You can even swim in the lava with it.

[@rannemalshehri925]

Yes, if u go to a secret level then u skip the one u originally thought u were going to

[@Tuatara1989]

Do you always get Udjat Eye, Alex? That changes finding the Black Market from very hard to 95% success rate (for me). If you're missing it *with* Udjat Eye, you'll have to pay closer attention in Jungle-1/2/3. Don't skip large sections of the map (because the entrance might be there, and it might be too far away for your Udjat Eye to start ticking). I will often bomb through one or two walls in the Jungle levels, if I haven't found the entrance yet.

[@FewestPlays]

Those who dont know how to open the gate to golden city, heres my guide: You have to get the hedjet from the moai head from the ice caves. And in order to do that, you wanna go from the beginning, get the Edjet eye from the golden lock chest. Then make your way to the jungle, then find the black market with the edjet eye (Optional) Or you could blow up 2 kali altars. Once your in the black market buy or steal the ankh. Then break the moai head or die and respawn with the ankh and spawn inside the moai head. Then you will get the hedjet. Once you do that you can kill anubis and get his scepter and THEN you can open the gate to golden city.

[@epixman_]

you HAVE to get the ankh, its not optional. breaking open the moai using a ball and chain and stepping in gives you a diamond instead of the hedjet. getting the udjat eye, on the other hand, is optional. you can find the black market without it, you just have to be very observant.

[@FewestPlays]

@@epixman_ Facts

[@drakeboley2000]

He had enough to buy the Ankh, but he still killed the shopkeepers...

[@Millacks]

Killing shopkeepers means you get ALL the items in the black market (if you do it right)

[@Tuatara1989]

Also, if you don't fight the Black Market, there will be no more shops after the Black Market. If you fight, you can rob even more shops in the later levels. Imo, killing all the Shopkeepers in the Black Market is easier than killing the lone Shopkeeper guarding the exit in some of the Mines/Jungle levels.

14:25 karma for whipping a pug to death

[@mikaelious9550]

How come you skipped Ice Caves level 3-3? Does that just happen if you go to the Worm?

[@Liukas_liero]

Yes, the beating the worm automatically skips to the 4th level of that world

[@Tuatara1989]

Which is why, if you want to use the Crysknife on Yama, you need to do the Mothership. Because if you beat the Mothership, you get another Ice Caves level, which can have the Moai head (Moai head is skipped by going through the Worm instead). Also the reason you can't do Worm in the Jungle *and* go to the Black Market. So people almost never do the Jungle Worm.

Question do you have to bring anything to unlock hell or can you just go empty-handed

[@SandmanX82]

You need to get the Ankh and then die in the ice world that has the statue, which gives you the golden helmet thing. Then you have to kill Anubis to get his weapon and with that plus the golden helmet thing you can unlock the golden door to gain entrance to the golden level. There you have to get the book of the dead in the center of the level...only THEN can you enter hell....(unless you use a hack or glitch of some sort)
