In challenge runs like these I like to have a parachute so that my character doesn’t drop the item during the ending. Unfortunately the actual gameplay benefit of a parachute is not very good, so it’s not really worth it to look for one (especially in a speedrun)
We do have a meme run called Foodbank%, where you take an Eggplant to the overworld, which requires the Parachute! (Another parachute run is Basejump%, but that one just involves parachuting from the top to bottom of Yama's Throne)
almost never think of it beforehand! the fun thing about speedrunning this game is that you have to take advantage of whatever the current seed throws at you. there are tons of different categories and the fact that you never know what you might end up trying one run to the next is what makes it so fun!
Normally the moai head has a special hardness rating stopping bombs/plasma cannons from breaking it, but the ball n chain will crush ANYTHING if you angle it right
@@jjg27 oh, also, looking at he game files, there is a dialogue that says something like “it doesn’t fit!” So maybe if you try it, it’ll say that dialogue
You have the Book of the Dead from the City of Gold. In 4-4, when you are close to the Hell door, the book's mouth starts to move, and when you are right above the Hell door it's mouth moves very quickly.
Many categories fall naturally out of how the game is structured, but some are a bit more quirky like this one! One day someone decided to challenge themselves to get the Key to Yama, then others did the same and now it's a speedrun category!
This is the "Low Scorer" achievement in the game which in speed/challenge running we call "No Gold". My PB for No Gold is 2:32. I've done many other categories that include No Gold - all my PBs are here! ua-cam.com/play/PLbRwvxBLNBymFwNtRCMVvnK5HpQX7v2KC.html

Question: hiw do you decide what run you try to do, do you think of it beforehand or does it depend on the starting shop?
Basically what i am saying is that ifbyou didnt fnd an alr on 3-2 would you just do gold keyvto olmec?

key. But i finnaly beat olmec yesterday!

The ni no kuni reference in your pfp goes hard

Well done!
3:45 how did that become possible?

Good job
Who are you, what is this game, and why are you in my recommended? Regardless, keep it up!
I'm a Spelunky player, this is Spelunky and I hope your recommended isn't getting too clogged haha. Thanks!
Nice,pro
What happens when you try to open the city of gold door with the GK? I always wander what happens if you try to open it with the GK
nothing happens. scepter is the only key that fits!
@@jjg27 oh, also, looking at he game files, there is a dialogue that says something like “it doesn’t fit!” So maybe if you try it, it’ll say that dialogue
@@Qizomo iirc that dialogue comes up when you take the scepter to the CoG door but you don't have the hedjet
@@jjg27 I don’t think so, because it says something like “it fits, but nothing it’s happening!”
cómo sabes dónde está la puerta al infierno sin mirar hacia abajo? en Olmec?

Thanks You, You are the Best player to spelunky, my English is Bad sorry
@@roberkantinas5690 no problem, I'm sorry I don't know any Spanish!
What does angering kali in this game even do?
Крутоо!! Cool!!!!
How is possible that so many "categories" exist for this game?
Many categories fall naturally out of how the game is structured, but some are a bit more quirky like this one! One day someone decided to challenge themselves to get the Key to Yama, then others did the same and now it's a speedrun category!
Suggestion: broke%
You have to complete the game without getting any money
