After beating 7-99 myself, I haven't played this game much nor did I continue to watch streams about this game anymore. So many nights staying up way to late to watch Twiggle videos on how to improve my gameplay and finally beat this god forsaken game. I will never forget you Twiggle. It saddens my heart to hear what happened. I know I'm 6 months late but man does this hurt. What an amazing and kind person. So calm and collected, never getting overly frustrated and angry over getting Spelunked... An absolute unit of a gamer who picked himself up and pushed forward on his runs no matter what. Rest in piece Twiggle. You will forever be the brightest star in the Spelunky 2 constellation. May your soul find the peace you deserve.
He truly will be remembered and he is now at peace, may he enjoy heaven and remember all the people that cared about him and the contributions he had to so many communities like spelunky ❤❤
holy crap i started watching this video without having any idea what 7-99 was and didn't look at the length of the video. when he shot the egg monster thing with the arrow i was like "wow that must be the end! that was a crazy run!" then i saw there was another 5 hours of gameplay... speechless
Crazy how he got cursed to 1 hp in sunken city, and still bounced back and finished the first ever legit 7-99. That really motivates me to continue runs when I screw something up, not everything has to go perfectly to succeed.
Once ended up with 1 hp on 1-2. Damn moles. Had this feeling to just keep going, whaddya know, made it all the way to Duat for the first time 😂 In Spelunky HD, I beat King Yama under the same circumstances lol
it’s a precious moment coming back and watching this monumental achievement in spelunky history. Thank you for the hours upon hours of soothing and joyful content. Twiggle, you’ll always be loved. Rest easy.
Headcanon: What with Tina canonically being the one to throw an eggplant at Yama because she was the character used to do so in the first successful eggplant run, I like to think that similarly, if there's ever a Spelunky 3, Classic Guy will have canonically become one with the cosmos, with the exact constellation at the end of this video making some kind of cameo.
Its been so long since you wrote this, but i just wonder if this is gonna impact how Spelunky 3 art design is going to be made. How is Derek Yu gonna recreate the Tina eggplant thing with the pixelated guy character? I hope it honors Twiggle, we all miss him dearly.
I can't even bring myself to watch this video, knowing that Twig is gone now. This is surprisingly one of the only Twiggle videos I never watched, so I want to savor "new" content as long as I can.
"Mossmouth - Derek Gifted 10." Lol pretty sure you just got a donation from Derek Yu. Edit: Happens literally right before his name comes up in the credits.
i still won't accept that this 5 hour gauntlet is the true ending. derek yu knows better. that's why he gave us the eggplant crown, which nobody took to the cosmic ocean yet. edit 2 years later: god was i fanboying, and wrong.
i just got my first clear today, i remember watching this vod amazed many years ago. Rest in peace Twiggle, you were the goat and i hope you are resting well. o7
Man, I saw that live and I must say: The amount of patience and focus you presented in this run is unbelievable. You grinded through those levels as if you were a machine.
This hurts bad it's been days since the news broke I'm drunk but still my mind wanders back to this because even though it may seem small twiggle when I watched his videos it felt so wholesome so different like just the passion and easy going nature truly inspirational I wish I could have shown more support something to let him know how much his work meant and I only had just started watching him a few month back but this just hit different my girlfriend and I would watch hours and hours of his runs and he inspired me it's just like I'm in disbelief looking at his Twitter seeing how he pinned the berserk panel how I am also passionate about berserk I can imagine how he felt iv felt that way also a struggler I just wish he would have got help just to soon for such a nice guy I hope your at peace
Its so incredible seeing just how early in spelunky 2's life he accomplished this monumental feat. From thr Olmec fight being terrible, to not knowing about the dice trick, and the absence of the quilin skips. Twiggle sure was the best of the best, and he will always be remembered. I hope he's in a better place
Holy fucking shit. I think that is one of the most impressive runs in gaming history. I don't think many people are capable of completing a run of this length, especially in Spelunky 2. This run required perfect planning despite completely procedurally generated levels. Everything had to go mostly perfectly (at least without consequential failures) for more than 5 hours in one of the hardest games this year or maybe ever. I think I would have died very quickly on the very first cosmic level before I really understood what the hell was suddenly going on. I can say with absolute certainty that I will never ever complete a 7-99 run. Now you have this achievement in gaming history to remember forever. I'm honestly speechless.
2:42:30 H Ok my actual comment: I've never played this game before (came here from a kotaku article) but this looks like it requires extreme dedication! I don't understand how people do these things. Congrats!
Watching this a day after this game's anniversary and seeing all the outdated strats.. amazing. I hadn't even heard of the skip where you stick a bomb to a body and throw it, I had to look through the patch notes to see where it got phased out.
Twiggle passed away in July. The cause of his death hasn’t been released so far as I’m aware but it is thought to be suicide. He was having issues with self-worth and depression. I almost cried when I found out and I did cry when they did the Decade of HD event and they played a video of twiggle putting certain entities in a good guy or a bad guy group; all of the money raised for decade of hd was donated to the American society of suicide prevention, and the event was held in honor of twiggle. The background of the waiting screen was twiggle’s first constellation. It was truly amazing and depressing. I’ll never forget it. This is the one community I have been able to be a part of and truly feel accepted, and I hate to see one of the legends depart. We will all miss you twiggle. Rest In Peace.
im so glad that this video will be imortalized because hearing how nervous he is in comparason to later on when you can tell it lost the magic. something about that is special to me
I’ve made it to 7-80, which was on my 16th run to the CO. I was in the cosmic ocean for I think about 2 hours of the 2 hours and 51 minutes my run was. I lost my ankh in 7-6 due to climbing gloves screwing me over with their janky physics, and I never got to clone the corpse bag or even get it at all because a hired hand got in the way of a bomb and he got thrown into tun, which angered her. My best runs have the least chance of succeeding for whatever reason.
I know we all try to be positive and uplifting in our comments honoring Twig, but I'm just sad about it right now, man. I miss him and wish things went differently.
My god the magnitude of challenges to keep a run alive like this is unbelievable. One day... one day I will join you in the stars but I wouldn't be surprised if I take years to reach them
I’ve got to 7-80 on my 16th run to the CO the other day. I lost because of bad luck and bad timing but I had so many strokes of good luck it’s ridiculous. Not only could I not clone the corpse bag, I also couldn’t even get it because a hired hand got blown up in the direction of tun above tiamat, which angered her, so I couldn’t get the corpse bag at all. I also died in 7-6 because of the climbing glove/vlads cape pair, as I tried to drop down but I pressed jump to fall faster and the double jump of vlads cape kicked in and I jumped into the jelly. The run took me 2 hours and 51 minutes to get that far and I was in shock. Soon I will join you too Twiggle!!! Rest In Peace.
I was glad to be there to see you game your mind out. Now I must ask what’s next after this, how does one game any harder than this, no hit cosmic ocean

It's interesting to watch this after seeing Twiggle's more recent CO runs. His playstyle seems a lot more slow and careful back then.
RIP twiggle, this community will remember you forever
Man, I saw that live and I must say: The amount of patience and focus you presented in this run is unbelievable. You grinded through those levels as if you were a machine.
Cant believe his voice tone is the same from the start to the end. This may be the virtue made him the first. Congrats!

Oh the nostalgia
Lol
He fucking did it
people say that parachute is a trash item but it potentially saved the run on 47:25
He has Dracula's cape. The only way parachute is useful is if you get stunned off a ledge. At least, whenever you already have a cape/jetpack.
Imagine if there was an achivement/trophy for beating cosmic ocean lol

Doing nerve-wracking runs like this means you need to pee every 30 minutes. You can hold it longer but the stress just fills your bladder..🤣🤣
