Spelunky 2 Walkthrough, Secrets, Tips and Tricks

Spelunky 2 is a direct and full-fledged sequel to one of the most popular roguelikes of the last decade.

As expected, the game retained the basic formula of the successful original, but added many new surprises, secrets, and challenges. Below you can see a large collection of tips that will simplify your further expeditions through procedurally generated worlds.

Research Tips

1. Beware of ledges. It's always better to go to the edge and press the special key instead of just falling down.
2. Do not underestimate normal walking. So you can analyze the path ahead and avoid falling into traps.
3. Before making any jumps, check the location for arrow traps.
4. Beware of enemies hiding inside the vases. Shoot them from a distance or throw the vase against the wall after picking it up (crouch down and press the grab button).
5. If you hold on to the ledge and press the punch button, you will be thrown back a few steps. This can be a useful trick - if, say, an explosion is about to happen, and there is a plot behind dfor a safe landing.
6. If you press "down" while standing on the ground, the camera will move down. The same thing happens when you move up.
7. You can attack with a whip and drop bombs even while holding on to the rope.
8. The whip can destroy skulls and piles of bones.
9. Time matters. But each time before entering a new area, stop, think and look around. Sometimes it will save you from unexpected death.
10. Having passed through the web twice, you will break it. If necessary, move back and forth.
11. If you see a turkey, don't worry, it's harmless. Just jump on it, which will cause the bird to move randomly, but if you can move sideways for a while, hearts will appear on its head. After a while, you will be able to control the turkey. She is capable of double jumping, squeezing through narrow openings, and headbutting.
12. If you help Jan and bring him turkeys, and then go into the secret room using the key, do not rush to place a bomb next to the door.
13. You can leave Monty at the door to the next level and continue exploring. You will receive an extra heart.
14. You can take mounts (for example, turkeys) with you to the next levels.
15. If you see an altar with blood, move any body to it for sacrifice. In doing so, you will receive more favor for the body of the stunned one,not a dead being. This will increase the chances of getting the item.
16. If you are sitting on a turkey, hold down the jump button while you fall so that it starts flapping its wings and softens the fall.
17. Accept the first test of the moon. This is a great investment for the future. The 10,000 gold fee may seem like a lot, but it will give you starting gear, collect more items, gold, and so on.
18. Burning torches not only help you see through the darkness, but also give you some gold as a reward.
19. No matter where they are on the map, the companions will automatically follow you to the next area. As soon as you pass through the door.
20. If you accidentally or intentionally kill a shopkeeper, keep in mind that he will hunt you in the next levels. Keep your shotgun ready!

Enemies in Spelunky 2

1. Remember that you can jump on enemies to deal damage. So you either kill them or stun them. This works with almost all types.
2. Bats are easy to kill, but if you miss at least a hit, they can attack several times in a row.
3. Will there be horned lizards??drow at you as soon as you find yourself in their line of sight. But if you are behind, then they will not react to it in any way.
4. If you pinch an enemy between a wall and a moveable stone block, he will die.
5. Enemies such as cavemen pick up dropped keys, idols, and other key items. If you don't get to them before.
6. The spiders won't jump on you immediately upon landing, so if you can run past them, turn around and attack.
7. The fact that the snake is moving in the opposite direction from you does not guarantee that at some point it will not turn around and sharply attack you.
8. The scarabs won't hurt! In fact, they give you gold coins, so never lose sight of them.
9. Throwing a rope can damage any enemy standing in the way.
10. Monkeys don't attack your character directly, but instead jump on your character's back and steal things from your backpack. Even bombs that go off immediately! Use a whip to scare away.
11. Some cavemen will move around on dogs. If you manage to separate them from the dogs, then the dog will not attack you.
12. Robots are especially dangerous. Especially if you yourself are trying to attack them. However, since they explode, this can be used to open a path further without the need to use bombs.
13. In some cases, you can sneak up on the enemyand attack in the back with a whip. But such an opportunity is rarely given, because the whip acts at too close a distance.
14. The temptation to attack merchants is great, but before doing so, it would be wise, for example, to buy a shield from them.
15. You can use stone dogs as mounts. Like Indians. They have the same set of moves, but without sliding. But they do shoot fireballs.
16. You can destroy poisonous bubbles with a whip. Also, instead of a whip, melee weapons or throwable objects are suitable.

5. Stones are extremely useful items. They have a long range and can kill or stun targets, or be used to trigger traps.

7. You can pick up chests, but you won't be able to move them to another room.
8. If you buy a gift from the merchant, destroy it with a whip to get the items stored inside.
9. If you have an idol, but you are afraid of dropping it in the wrong place, throw the item at the wall on the opposite side of the merchant.
10. If you throw another rope at the same angle as the first, they will connect and turn into a longer rope.

Trapped in Spelunky 2

1. Beware of bear traps. They attack the area above your character.
2. Even if there is an object or a chest in front of you that blocks the arrows that flew out of the trap, you will still receive damage from the movement of the object itself.
3. If there are gold bars near the bear trap, get close enough to them to trigger the trap and they will fly off to the side.
4. In the jungle, beware of tiles that have a thin silver stripe on them. This means that such tiles will fall as soon as you walk over them.
5. Do not use your whip on objects or buildings near friendly characters. This will make them aggressive.
6. Falling platforms in the volcano level can damage other enemies. Of course, if they fall right on top of them.
7. You can use the fallen chain from the spiked trap to lift it up.
8. Throwing a bomb into lava will automatically cause an explosion, so beware of puddles and cauldrons when carrying the bomb.
9. Hermit crabs are not always visible at first, as they disguise themselves as chests or dwi?? learning blocks. In the first case, they will have loot, like in a regular chest.
