> kills Yang > asks where Yang is in the black market > compares small business owners to thieves If he wasn’t sleep-deprived, I’d say NL was trolling.
Doesn't the journal say that Yang has 12 sons, all named Yang? So it's not crazy to think that the Yangs you see could be different Yangs, though I suppose that the lack of Yang in the black market disproves it.
NL's panicked "no no no, you can't have that" when hired help picked up the shotgun was the same intonation and level of alarm I imagine he'd have if his daughter did the same thing.
I kinda wish he started trying to not kill the shopkeepers. With lots of things exploding, it doesn't really seem worth it to always be killing them, especially if he has money already
@@kyichu9851 yea, i tend to just collect as much money as possible and hope theres a shotgun for sale. not dealing with the shopkeepers makes life so much easier
@@kittysgomeoww Makes sense. Although I don't play the game, from what I've seen, it looks like the Rube Goldberg death machine is enhanced by like 80% with shopkeepers freaking out everywhere
One day NL will realize that killing the shopkeeper so early instead of spending his money (that he can then never spend with angry shopkeepers) is making his runs way harder
I like that change from the first game, there is actually a great negative with being "criminal" in this game, with the increasing amount of pissed off shopkeeps, but at the same time, with the forgiveness system, they will get over it if it was some freak accident that made them angry.
12:25 here's an observation, Nl: you have a real blind spot for bombing passages from above where you want to get, instead of from the side. I noticed it happening multiple times - easy access from above with 1 bomb, but you go from the side, or even give up altogether because "it would take 3 bombs". Keep you mind open for the extra dimension of the problem
He didnt have to use ropes for spikes too. You can simply crouch and walk on the edge, then your guy will grab the ledge and you will walk on the spikes harm free.
NL's beartrap attempts reminded me of one of my runs, I bought a mystery gift from the shop. It had a beartrap, so I just threw it back at the shopkeeper to kill him and took all his stuff
The least exotic theory of all, but almost certainly the true clue, traces "hunky-dory" to the archaic American slang word "hunk," meaning "safe," from the Dutch word "honk," meaning "goal," or "home" in a game. To achieve "hunk" or "hunky" in a child's game was to make it "home" and win the game. The question of where the "dory" came from brings us back to our old friend "O.K." Children very often do not just say "O.K." -- they say "okey-dokey," thus engaging in what linguists call "reduplication," or the emphatic, joking repetition of parts of a word. "Hunky- dory" is almost certainly a similar product of reduplication by children who had won their game.
The stability of these uploads is shockingly surprising if you'll keep in mind that NL has an 11 days old infant to look after. We've been truly blessed by our Eggfather.
You should really consider going to the volcano more, this run especially was a perfect opportunity. You had the jetpack so platforming around the magma would've been easy, and you probably wouldn't have had to spend so many bombs trying to kill shopkeepers every floor since they tend to kill themselves in the magma. Plus Dracula is much less risky than the Black Market when you've already angered the shops.
Conversely you get less value from Dracula’s cape when you already have the jet pack, whereas the black market offers a lot more in terms of bombs and other utility items. There’re definitely pros and cons to both options though.
On that first floor where you angered the old lady with vandalism, if you had ignored her being trapped in a corner instead of going out of your way to fight her, you would have probably never had to deal with her again. Edit: Turns out it didn't matter this time, huh.
The sheer panic when hired help picks up a shotgun killed me. Only thing scarier than a hostile shopkeeper w/ a shotgun is a friendly NPC with a shotgun.
So the etymology of hunkydory for anyone wondering: mid 19th century (originally US): hunky from Dutch honk ‘home, base’ (in games); the origin of dory is unknown.
NL keeps saying the Kappala is essential and yet across all of his videos the health he has gained from it has never made the difference between living and dying.
In Episode 28, he took 7 damage from a shopkeeper on Jungle 2, survived with 5 health and went on to win the run. The Kappala made a big difference there.
@@apexultimo Checked the episode - he obtained the Kappala one floor earlier and only gained 1hp before the damage from the shopkeeper. How did it make a big difference?
Having more hp can save you but it's only if your lucky to not get hit by anything else after taking the initial hit example if your jet pack explodes your most likely not going to just take 11 damage your gonna take follow up damage from some other source while you wait to regain control of your character
It gave him a chance to survive. If he climbed the ladder after waking up from being shot instead of running left into another shopkeeper he might have been able to salvage that cursed situation. Still a great episode tho.
Man.... when baby starts doing 3 or 4 hours between feeds.. if you have a lucky timing, you only get woken up once a night. That good eats ;) What does happens if you sac a child of the forest?? Now I'm intrigued. Secret??
Hey NL you know you can slide down onto spikes from a nearby ledge right? could've saved some resources involving that paste. Just like, crawl walk over the edge and all that.
I just played for 3 hours without getting to Olmec. God how I hate the lizards and moles, and how often Monty and the shrine spawn in a hole where I need to use bombs to get there. And how often grabbing ledges fucks me, sometimes I try to grab them and it doesn't work, other times I try to not grab them and then it does.
That 1-2 level with the royal jelly, turkeys, jetpack, how could he ever lose?!?! ONLY thing that would have made it better was Monty Sac-town on an altar
No disrespect NL, but I chuckled when you went from 19 to 0HP. I'm not going to lie. I didn't say HP is worthless, cause it isn't. It is a resource in some occasions. You said that turkeys are overpowered. I, in my experience with the game so far (only 40 hours, so I'm def no expert), just think that HP is pretty underpowered due to the fact that there are so many OHKOs or instances where, like in this video, you get stun locked and die by a thousand cuts in 5 seconds. That false sense of security can mess you up. 20HP in Spelunky might as well be half a heart in Isaac sometimes. :Y
let's be honest... the people who downplay HP are the people who are blessed by the stars and never get hit. or, they're people who die despite how much HP they have and they're trying to make themselves feel better. :P
I'm not sure I understand why NL disses the Beehive so often, especially when he has a shotgun 90% of the time he sees it. He just talked about how valuable HP is, and knows that he (most likely) will have anywhere from a minor to a major HP increase if he goes for the queen, since she just takes a couple shotgun blasts and it's over, but... just chooses to not go for it anyway? It's not even really a time-related issue, either, since the entire "fight" inside the hive takes all but a few seconds because, again, he usually has a shotgun. Is there a reason for this?
OK, I'm not a Spelunky player, so maybe I'm just ignorant, but: Why did NL kill the boomerang guy that was next to the altar rather than jump on his head and sacrifice him while he's stunned?
Ghostneedle1 in that case could he not have left the boomerang guy there, found Monty, and then sacked him live like I said? Or is that too dangerous a play?
NL at the beginning of this video: "So we had a good run last time until we died from angry shopkeepers." NL four minutes later: Murders shopkeeper. NL at the beginning of the next video: "So we had a good run last time until we died from angry shopkeepers."
NL: Don't deviate from the goldman until the goldman deviates from you me. Me: Gold man...? *remembers Nek* Also Me: Dame da ne! Dameyo Da me na no yo!!!

calling small business owners thieves is kinda based

Me with hired hands: "Put that down!" "Get away from that, that's dangerous!" "Where have you gone off to?"
yeah if enelle saw luna with a shotgun he'd be sure to shoot first
90% of his deaths are related to shopkeepers taking revenge lol
There's a reason the others prefer to buy
all these episodes later and I still hear "Hello hello tomo" on the dwellings. I can't ever unhear it
not taking the plasma cannon is supreme cowardice
"That's why you get the Kapala" is the new "Rome wasn't built in a day"

Wow rip that monty at 19:19, literally no way it could have lived to see the end of the level or an altar.

I would say you shouldn’t go to the volcano if you have any kind of pack. Fire becoming an insta kill is too much.
Personally i go volcano when i have a cape that way I'm not giving up a jetpack to take vlads cape. Assuming i make it there that is
Its a trade off though. The area is incredibly easy but any fire damage Insta kills.
Truly appreciate all the work you put in to provide content even when you have a great reason to take a big break and tone down the amount of content.
truly a pog blessing

Hey NL, just wanted to say thanks for the spelunky 2 videos! These are very fun to watch. Keep playing, your getting better every video!
Some nice moves on those early shopkeepers. People often get too passive on those guys when simple aggression is both faster and safer.
"That's why you get the big bucks!" he said, with a sense on panic rising in his voice...
POGGERS TO SEE THE EGG MAN EVERYDAY
truly a pog blessing
I don't even have notifications on but I randomly always get to your spelunky videos really early.
No notifications? Ya hate to see it :(
Less random than you think. NL schedules his uploads for the same time each day. But I'm happy you come with us for the journey each day, my dude.
Same
Me too!
The content is blessed, the creator more so
I actually Gasped at that hired help betrayal, you monster
FYI you can slip down into the spikes by holding down as you approach an edge on-level with the spikes, then you can just drop.
19:18 the most Derek Monty ever placed
the Austin Powers references are spot on
I have finally caught up all of his videos!! I can’t wait to see what comes next!
making breakfast to the sound of pogs
NL keeps saying the Kappala is essential and yet across all of his videos the health he has gained from it has never made the difference between living and dying.
If you're going to the Duat then being able to get more HP after resurrecting is pretty useful.
@@Vipertooth007 same with the ankh in general, it can help you get back on your feet
In Episode 28, he took 7 damage from a shopkeeper on Jungle 2, survived with 5 health and went on to win the run.
The Kappala made a big difference there.
@@apexultimo Checked the episode - he obtained the Kappala one floor earlier and only gained 1hp before the damage from the shopkeeper. How did it make a big difference?
Why does every episode contain such comedic timing
it is a curse yet also a blessing
Alright, just gotta come clean:
NL, you can crawl off a block and onto spikes without dying. You only die if you drop onto spikes.
NL needs to start ringing the bell for good luck.
thank you for posting ryan i appreciate you

It's funny cuz it's true
NL using up so many bombs and ropes on 2-1 when he could have just slid over the edge of the platform to drop down onto the spikes safely
Jetpack and shotgun is free jelly dude
