How to unlock all tunnels in Spelunky 2
Navigating through the many procedurally generated worlds in Spelunky 2 is a challenge. You'll die anyway and have to start all over again, but subsequent playthroughs can be made easier by unlocking shortcuts between levels.
To create a short path (tunnel), you will have to collect the necessary resources. Thus, by building one tunnel, you can literally from the very beginning of the re-run get to deeper levels, bypassing the early stages.
To unlock a new cut, you need to find Terra - a friendly NPC who is also trying to get through the caves. However, in the end, she stops, because she stumbles upon obstacles that block access to some kind of cut. You need to pay her money or transfer the necessary resources, and then she will complete her work.
How to create and unlock secret tunnels in Spelunky 2
Terra is first encountered at the end of level 1-4. She will tell you what she needs to unlock the first slice. Even if you already have everything she needs, will you have to visit her twice more, completing each next requirement??nie (there are three in total). That is, you can only close one requirement per meeting.
When she finishes building the tunnel, you can meet her to the left of the main area. Below we list all the basic requirements for each slice in Spelunky 2.
Short cut at level 1-4
Requirements:
- Bring $2000. In principle, by the time you meet Terra, this amount should already be in your account.
- Bring 1 bomb. At the start of the game you have 4 bombs and none of them are needed to get to the end of the level. Save at least one for Terra.
- Bring $10,000. Collect gold and gems. Do not rush to spend it all in the store. If you don't, by the time you get to Terra at the end of levels 1-4, you should have the correct amount in your account.
Tunnel at level 3-1
Requirements:
- Bring 1 rope. It's very simple.
- Bring any weapon. If you go through the jungle path, you will most likely encounter an enemy with a boomerang. It can be used to donate to Terra.
- Donate any mount. But here it is more difficult. The easiest way to have a mount by the end of level 3-1 is to go through what?No lava after cutting at level 1-4. Here occasionally there are dogs or turkeys. Lava dogs are much easier to keep alive, since they are not afraid of lava or fire.
Slice at 5-1
Requirements:
- Bring $50,000. If you use the 3-1 cutoff, you are unlikely to have time to accumulate the required amount by the end of the 5-1 level. Therefore, you will probably have to go through all the early stages. However, each of the third world golden idols is worth $20,000. So if you find two of them, you can easily save up the remaining $10,000.
- Bring a hired worker. Workers appear when you break the coffin. These are bald guys who run around the location and usually wreak havoc. Right in front of this cut in the Ice Caverns there will be one such coffin. Look in the cave with the yeti, about halfway down. An entirely different task is to bring the hired worker safe and sound. Therefore, before freeing him, it is better to finish off all the Yeti, and then bomb the exit from the cave. Run to the door before it can jump onto the spikes. And then run to the exit from the level. It will be easier if you have a compass. If you're quick, you'll be able to leave the level before the worker can kill himself.
