First time getting to Hell, Got to Yama, died because he dropped a skull even though I blew up his hand and his head was flying around(???)
But considering I got a score like this:

I can't complain.
And that score doesn't include the [B]$150,000[/B] I spent at the Black Market.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;41894845]I managed to beat Olmec without shortcuts in like 7 hours of play, why do people find it hard ?
Maybe I just played too much SMB3.[/QUOTE]
oh god i've only gotten to Olmec once in 13 hours
i don't know how to play the videogame
The only reason why I killed Olmec in 11 hours and why I'm decent at the game is because I literally watched hundred episodes of Northernlion's Spelunky let's play from 1 year ago
The worst daily challenge in ages.
Didn't even make it past 100k.
I wish I could remove my score from the Leaderboards.
wtf it's taken me 20+ hours to beat olmec with shortcuts
you guys is crazy
Pleyed 3 hours. Probably spent two trying to get SMB. :v:
70+ bombs, shopkeeper angered, 2 hp.
Dark level.
:suicide:
So an angry shopkeep guards the exit, but that's ok I can just drop a bomb in over him!
Oh darn, he clipped my foot while he was jumping and threw me against the wall. He's still trapped though, so maybe I can salvage thi-
My shotgun smashed me in the face and killed me.
[QUOTE=Maruhai;41889820]I just realised the actual purpose of the helping hand.
Buy him, keep him alive up until 4-1. Kill Anubis, give the helping hand your item, pick up the scepter. Go to 4-2, open the City of Gold door, kill the helping hand, get your item back.
There, you went to the City of Gold with a Plasma Cannon.[/QUOTE]
Only problem with giving the helping hand a weapon is that he can end up accidentally using it on you. He already easily misses enemies with the shotgun which can have shells flying your way, you're gonna need fucking fantastic dodging skills if you're planning on giving him the plasma cannon :v:

Alternatively, give him the camera.
GG Hell.

This game really does NOT want me to succeed.
Then I got to Olmec, got a little too bomb happy and got him stuck in a narrow shaft, then I got crushed horizontally.
[B][I]Fuck
[/I][/B][B]Edit:[/B]
Okay second try, started from ice caves, went to the worm, got the crysknife and reached the temple with 2 hearts and spring shoes. On the second floor of the temple I found a shopkeep selling four bomb bags. slashed him dead and took the bombs, got to the next floor with a narrow shaft with tiki and arrow traps everywhere. Was doing okay until a fucking gator man leapt away and got wedged between a wall and a tiki trap, the spikes came out and made him teleport.
Guess who was in the way of his warp? I had 49 bombs, I coulda taken olmec with that many. Damn it all.
Fuck, between those two screwups I'm left with a sour feeling in the pit of my stomach, I need another break.
I just killed myself with a bomb on 4-2 trying to clear out an angry shopkeeper and threw the controller at my own knee in anger

That's the risk required to mine all of the City of Gold.
Also, keep in mind you only need him to carry it from the end of 4-1 to the beginning of 4-2, just so you can keep both the Scepter and the Cannon in 4-2.
Kinda shitty situation since I won't be able to go to both.

I am now the proud owner of the mysterious eggplant.
Man I'm good. Spent 4 bombs and 2 ropes on level 1 in the daily challenge and died with 17k gold
Does anyone else have Spelunky mantras? I've found that I do better when I constantly remind myself of these:
"Every pot has a spider in it."
"Every skeleton gets up."
"A heart is worth more than a bomb or rope."

A crate is always worth a bomb or a rope or 2 bombs or 2 ropes or 1 of each and if I have sufficient stuff, 2 bombs 1 rope.
Tiki men have infinite range.
Shopkeepers will get mad at you when you enter the black market with more than 49k gold.
You will never be able to grab the shotgun when knocking out a shopkeeper, but you will pick up the shopkeeper and instantly get stunned.
Teleporter never goes where you wanted to go.
Fire golems will always rain out of the sky and push you into the moving blocks.
There is literally no way to survive past the jungle if given a jetpack/shotgun/kapala on mines 1-3 or earlier.
I'm actually getting used to the mechanics of the teleporter; it's better than I once thought, but still not that great.

um no they dont?
[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;41904796]um no they dont?[/QUOTE]
It's not literal, that's what he believes so it pushes him to get 50k.
You can easily get a few thousand in the black market anyway

I only use it for killing Olmec easily if I happen to find one on Olmec level (if you manage to die with a teleporter when killing Olmec you are dreadful at using the teleporter and should never touch it again)
i beat yama on first playthrough so easy
actually not this game is fuck hard

I wonder if something would happen if you brought it to the end of the game, or past hell even. Maybe this thing would be a replacement boss for Olmec or something :v:

Eggplant is the only Spelunky mystery yet to be solved.
[QUOTE=Maruhai;41905620]Eggplant is the only Spelunky mystery yet to be solved.[/QUOTE]
is it like the pendant in dark souls or do we know it has a use
I kinda want there to be a shortcut to Hell to unlock with stupidly retarded requirements.
Bring a torch because it's dark, bring an eggplant because he's hungry, bring a parachute to help him have a soft landing.
Things you normally won't be able to bring to that point in the game, let alone care about. The big issue will be bringing the torch and eggplant since you need to carry the scepter to 4-2. You either get lucky as shit on 4-2 by having a shop+altar spawn or dark level, or you get some hired help to carry it for you...or you play co-op.
Stupidly difficult unlock prerequisites to make it stupidly hard to play through hell with no items, 4 health, 4 bombs/ropes and a snowball's chance in hell.

No results for bringing it to Olmec or bringing it to Yama in co op mode.
Nobody has brought it to Yama in singleplayer yet, which I think would trigger something.
