A good trick for getting through the black market when the shopkeepers are hostile: Upon entering the level, immediately rope up as high as you can, that way you'll be out of their shotgun blast range. Then throw bombs until you kill the first shopkeeper. After that shotgun the rest from a distance and bomb the Ankh seller.
Pro tip: If you're angered the shopkeepers and you're in the black market, toss a rope and hang as high as you can. They tend to not be able to reach you. Better yet, if you can hide in a gap above where the Ankh is sold, that's even better.
Yo NL, I know you like to just discover things, but some stuff will take you many many deaths to figure out. So please, save yourself a lot of mental anguish and read a few comments. Some facts: 1 damsel sacrifice = random item you don't have, doesn't include held items 2 damsel sacrifices = kapala 4 damsel sacrifices = 8 health! The pitcher's mitt is great for killing Anubis I, II and the final boss. A shotgun is better, but it's hard to get one for the final boss without slaying shopkeepers.
Often times I find myself asking "Ryan, how can you die to these things?! It looks so easy!" Then I bought Spelunky myself today. Oh dear lord, what have I gotten myself into?
Hey Ryan , just wanna say don't give up on Spelunky! I don't have an Xbox so i can't play it but i really want to see you beat hell and i'm sure i'm not the only one
NL something for you to consider, when you are bombing to get to other areas like around 3:40 maybe bomb in areas where you can see that you will get some gold out of it as well.
nothing wrong with it it's just that music is from the original PC version so i've heard it more than someone who uses the console versions (btw your pic scared the crap out of me(
Foxman just beat Hell a SECOND time, watch and learn NL, he used the +12 health boost from a 4th damsel sacrifice after reviving AGAIN. you NEED that 4-damsel-sacrifice after you've revived using the ankh, if you go completely without sacrificing (no kapala) there's basically no chance to amass enough health to withstand hell.
No, you're right. The lighting in this video doesn't seem like it usually does. Then again, I'm just a cat messing around on my owners computer while he's away.... so, yeah. I guess you're crazy.
NL... you HAVE to learn to fight shopkeepers. When you can manage them... there will be time loss and risks with all the gold finding/jumping everywhere. And your playthroughs will be much more faster and efficient
I hate to say it because I know you don't want your channel to turn into another Call of Duty one but you should upload zombies and multiplayer from Black Ops 2 that would be so awesome Northernlion!
You're actually pretty good at Spelunky. Only a small percentage of Spelunky players have made it to the City of Gold, much less to Hell. Don't be so down on yourself.
I really wish I was even nearly as good as NL. I can't get past the Jungle. Just don't have the skills. Stop rushing! Half your problems seem to come from you rushing into the next area and taking damage before you even noticed something could damage you.
Can I ask why NL always tries to kill something stuck in a spiderweb by first throwing something at it...? He knows it gets stuck, but continues to do so and then whip it...
I think your memory is dieing NL. No offense of course I'm a huge fan but at the VERY beggining you triggered an arrow trap then immediately said after throwing a SECOND rock "well if that didn't triggered it something else already did". Again, huge fan, no hate please!

I loved how the pirahna was playing ping-pong with his body at the end!

I find it comedic how when given the choice between the Damsel and a rock to use to kill a spider, he chooses the Damsel. lol
Hahaha the level where the ghost started chasing after you was classic Northernlion play.
6:22 Remix of original Spelunky music. I wish this song showed up more often. It's so good.
I like the music, NL. Please keep the sound up in your upcoming Spelunky videos as well ^^
0:30 "I'm a very smelly man right now" seems to be more of an innuendo than "made myself a delicious hot tea."
Two words for you Northernlion: SACRIFICE. EVERYTHING.
It was going SO kinda OK! xD
'Death by shopkeeper' the Northerlion story!
Me: I should make me some tea
NL: I just got some delicious tea
Me: Well... brb
The term you're looking for can be said two ways, NL.
PEBCAK: Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard
or
PICNIC: Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.
Hey, we can hear the game audio much better than in your previous set-up. Its great!
Now all we need is a slightly better framerate in Isaac :p
Me neither, and I have played Spelunky on XBLA myself quite a bit. Maybe it's an easter egg and the soundtrack is from the original Spelunky?

The glasses you pour water into, you sarcastic fillet? XD
Yeah, but he was trying to recall the term that used 'chair'. I love the ID10T error too. XD

It's on the XBox 360 through the XBox Live Arcade service, I believe.
Sending you good thoughts. This was really hilarious, especially the frog fucking.
I think it's actually a remix of the track from the original spelunky, since I used to play the original and the track wasn't in there.
Often times I find myself asking "Ryan, how can you die to these things?! It looks so easy!" Then I bought Spelunky myself today. Oh dear lord, what have I gotten myself into?
love this series!! :)
Ty for making the last 90% (including me) jalouse
in the mines, theres under a 1% chance or something that it plays that, and its from the original spelunky.
I don't know. I always thought caves were dark and dank, not bright and cloudy. =P
So glad to see this in my Sub box :D
If you still enjoy Spelunky, you should keep doing videos until you at least beat the last boss. I believe in you NL
Love your content
Hey Ryan , just wanna say don't give up on Spelunky! I don't have an Xbox so i can't play it but i really want to see you beat hell and i'm sure i'm not the only one
"And just shit the bed."
The Northernlion Story!
Ok thanks for confirming that for me, it was just an idea that I had with no real fact that I knew of.
I love watching you play this. Issac is getting kind of dry, This is fresh. Should switch your priorities over until rebirth comes out.
NL something for you to consider, when you are bombing to get to other areas like around 3:40 maybe bomb in areas where you can see that you will get some gold out of it as well.
northernlion playing spelunky on HD??? The end is near !
@Northernlion PEBKAC: Problem exists between keyboard and chair.
But at least it makes it look caveish? It looks pretty cool to me. Kinda puts me in a spelunkering mood.
He didn't have a chance to sacrifice four damsels, although that is a good tip.
Northernlion remember to use protection.
Spelunky every day!!!
nothing wrong with it it's just that music is from the original PC version so i've heard it more than someone who uses the console versions (btw your pic scared the crap out of me(
yep, it looks like the color saturation is turned way down
6:30 sounds like some Pokemon R/B/G Lavender Town shit !
Foxman just beat Hell a SECOND time, watch and learn NL, he used the +12 health boost from a 4th damsel sacrifice after reviving AGAIN.
you NEED that 4-damsel-sacrifice after you've revived using the ankh, if you go completely without sacrificing (no kapala) there's basically no chance to amass enough health to withstand hell.
NL, why don't you hti the pots with your whip? If you stand back spiders/snakes in them won't hurt you.
Hey man, were your levels different in this vid? You weren't as clear over the music as usual
Northerlion you have the power to beat hell
"I know what you're going to say, hey ryan go get that 2000 gold. Hey youtube user, go fuck yourself, that shit was scary." Best line
6:20 Huh. Don't think I've heard that music before...
Item from Kali is not just item. It is half way to the Kapala.
Fuck this, Batman! - The Northernlion Story
PEBKAC: problem exists between keyboard and chair
Wish I had a dollar for every time NL said "my binding of isaac career"
Northernlion...quick tip...be the foxman.
12:28: "Fuck this, Batman." -- Northernion.
No, you're right. The lighting in this video doesn't seem like it usually does. Then again, I'm just a cat messing around on my owners computer while he's away.... so, yeah. I guess you're crazy.
I noticed that too.
I think I've heard it multiple times on the NL series.
Let the Ghost pass through gems. It turns them into diamonds! - 5000$ each!
Watching this game stresses me out, it's a fun kind of stressful though. Keep it up man and go to hell, we're all rooting for you.
There is a free pc version as well, but it's not as developed graphically or gameplay-wise as this version
this is to relaxed lol
15:25 man I didn't even know it was possible to get that much 10800 health.
Not fighting them is the best way to go.
I'm pretty sure that's only possible on PC, but I haven't played since the update.
this is just me, but i think there should be a item or something that re-sets shopkeeper aggression.
You could have sacrificed the dead shopkeeper as well as the dead damsel...
I know that feel bro.
NL... you HAVE to learn to fight shopkeepers. When you can manage them... there will be time loss and risks with all the gold finding/jumping everywhere. And your playthroughs will be much more faster and efficient
It's probabably the nickname he gave to the Random Number God.
I hate to say it because I know you don't want your channel to turn into another Call of Duty one but you should upload zombies and multiplayer from Black Ops 2 that would be so awesome Northernlion!
You find some way to fuck everything up, directly or indirectly... You lost out hearts from a single pirana. You can whip those and kill 'em, y'know.
You can chill in my bomb shelter if you'd like, I brought cookies
look at that beautiful youtube fix. 301+ views. That's all it took man!
On topic, the videos colors are certainly off, hope it is fixed soon.
You're actually pretty good at Spelunky. Only a small percentage of Spelunky players have made it to the City of Gold, much less to Hell. Don't be so down on yourself.
foxman beat hell again and included a NL run after too
It is a fairly common track.
Hmm, I've heard it a few times (maybe 3) over like 500 runs
I think that you mean low contrast, but yeah, definitely.
I send you my good thoughts Ryan..
More like, "Be in a good MINE set". Get it? Cause you died in the mines?
I really wish I was even nearly as good as NL. I can't get past the Jungle. Just don't have the skills.
Stop rushing! Half your problems seem to come from you rushing into the next area and taking damage before you even noticed something could damage you.
It's working for me with the proxy on keyamp.com now. Seems like UA-cam effed up with their european CDN.
It's an ID10T error Northernlion. You got the gist of it though. Lol.
Can t you sacrifice shopkeepers too? (1 shopkeeper corpse = 1 damsel corpse right?)
PEBKAC, Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Computer.
That's the term you were looking for, NL. :)
but he uses it for both spelunky and isaac, those dont seem to run on the sam engine, but i could just be a nartard
GO NORTHERNLION
"The frog fucked me." - The Northernlion Story
well there are drinking glasses
Can I ask why NL always tries to kill something stuck in a spiderweb by first throwing something at it...? He knows it gets stuck, but continues to do so and then whip it...
As well as 'User was experiencing an I-D-TEN-T error" (ID10T)
at 3 damsels you also get 99 bombs.
NL man, you're slipping! Ah well, better luck next recording session!
'fuck this batman' Kevin Smith would.
I liked the lowd music keep it
I think your memory is dieing NL. No offense of course I'm a huge fan but at the VERY beggining you triggered an arrow trap then immediately said after throwing a SECOND rock "well if that didn't triggered it something else already did". Again, huge fan, no hate please!
