A few tips from me: -Throw pots instead of whipping them if you can, in the event that an enemy pops out. -Alternatively, whipping while falling will cause the whip's hurtbox to be slightly below you, allowing you to whip a pot and then immediately stomp any potential enemies. -When fighting Olmec, he will not crush you if you stand at where the very edge of his body lands (This has saved me a fair few times). -Climbing Gloves are great and all, but they're extremely situational, and you can usually accomplish whatever you're trying to do with them by simply using a rope. It's usually best to avoid picking them up, as they will usually end up getting you stuck on tiki traps or other undesirable places. -On the contrary, always get the Spike Shoes if you can. They are one of the most useful and versatile items in the game, allowing you to kill most mini-bosses (giant spiders, giant frogs, mummies, etc.) in a few stomps, and prevent you from sliding on ice. -Speaking of giant spiders, the easiest way to kill them is to throw a bomb into their web before they become active. The bomb will not activate them, and will kill them 99% of the time for some easy money and free paste if you don't already have it. -Unless you desperately need the health (or are trying to get the Casanova achievement), always sacrifice damsels if you can. The rewards from Kali can be much more worth it than the 1 health per damsel you get for rescuing them. -...Don't die.
1) The giant spider is classified as a boss, not a mini boss 2) It is never a good idea to sacrifice damsels, As There Is A rare chance you get enough.
No defenetly not good enugh odds toad night , espesialy being that sacrificing something increases your probability to get another alter first off and secondly the comment you posted was not positive, was not a tip or helpfull in any way and certenly wasnt wanted/needed you should feel bad knowing that in order to inflate your own ego, you were a condescending ass-hat. Honestly get lost you toxic troll of a human being. How rude and dissrespectfull could you possibly Be_|‾|_- O_O -_|‾|_
I knew all of these already, I thought everyone did, which was why I didn't they weren't in the video. But I disagree and agree with the glove, i've mastered using it.
If a flesh eating plant eats a shopkeeper you can pick it up and throw it away while its stunned. When the shopkeeper pops out of it he will not be angry and you can easily rob the shop without a shopkeeper being there to protect it
I like how you referred to the shopkeeper as a 'monster' at 0:36... seriously, I agree. One tried to kill me for the horrible crime of blowing up the floor at a level boundary that _isn't anywhere near a shop_.
In Jungle levels where you can't see a thing, if your torch is extinguished in water and you can't lift one off of a Tiki Man, it is possible to reignite your torch on a wall torch you have already lit.
Here's a tip I guarantee most people don't know: The Kapala can bring you back to life after you already died, assuming it was almost full. If a drop of blood lands on you at the moment of your death, the kapala will revive you and you can continue the run.
Was in line at the grocery store, and went to hit play knowing I was half way into the video without headphones. Phone immediately let out a blaring “ASS”. No regrets.
I never thought about holding on to items as an "anti-arrow trap" measure. Dropping objects is what I've done, but has the the advantage of setting off multiple traps that are below you.
If you wanna skip quickly through the ice caves, try to get a compass and a cloak (or jetpack). That usually makes these level very easy, unless it's the yeti area.
Israel Blargh... I can't thank you enough I showed my friends this video and they loved it. You taught me EVERYTHING I know of spelunky. Thank you for reminding me of this godlike game.
My best tip that wasn't mentioned is: Purple bats can easily be manipulated into following you and be used as boosts to reach hard to reach places. (Especially useful in the mines) Before considering using a rope, check for a purple bat to use as a substitute!
This video taught me some great tricks for Spelunky while also providing enough humor to make me want to watch it over and over again. Well done. -Cloiss
1 load of vomit is worth 3/4 of the kapala, so one won't be enough if it's empty But it's almost enough, so you'll get 3 health for every 4 loads, which is almost as good.
Nice video! A few tips to add. If you are sprinting towards tiki traps their spikes come out earlier. The spike boots do increased damage when jumping on enemies like the giant spider. Arrows traps can also be set off by other items like dropping a rock in front of it. As for the idols, I wouldn't recommend ever picking them up in the first world. Doing so could result in destroyed items, angry shopkeeper, and whatever else. Great information!
this is an amazing vidéo for spelunky. I just watch 4 minute of it and I felt like I need to tell you that this is the best vidéo I have seen so far... thanks I got to share this video.
8:40 Yeah, I keep telling my Spelunky brethren that they need to not be so suspiciously eager but they don't listen! ...Oh well, bad habits die hard, huh?
another tip: if you don't have bomb paste or a shotgun, you can kill the queen bee by making her get stuck in the worm tongue and then throwing a bomb into it
Yeeah... The first time I made it to the jungle, there was a beehive in my path. I had run out of bombs, and had no method of killing the queen, who was blocking the entrance to the beehive. -Cloiss Edit: Actually, if I was thinking, I may have been able to find random things everywhere and throw them at her until she dies.

Seeing all those Spelunky youtube videos of tactics and people making daily runs to the end, makes me really sad because I can not even get past the ice level, and I barely get there when playing from the beginning. This game is beautiful and good but god damn its frustrating. I will probably never reach to the end.
Just practice, dude. Practice, watch videos, read wikis, Reddit, gamefaqs, etc. Some people have a harder time than other but anyone can get good if they really want to.
Hey thanks for making this, I really enjoy your spelunky content! I beat olmec for the first time today and some of these tips were very helpful, thank you!
1:58 You can use the web gun (best gun) as the poor man's climbing gloves. Pure gold, I'm very upset I didn't notice that the first time I watched this video. 10/10
I would like to thank Israel for the Spelunky videos. This may be the third time I'm watching this one and I'm still trying to do the Shotgun thing! But thanks Israel for the videos, they are really really funny and gave me the skill for beating Spelunky! I owe you this one!
Good video. Even after beating the original, playing HD for about 12 hours so far, and reading the wiki, there were still a few things you mentioned that I didn't know.
One I haven't seen mentioned is that you can throw an item into a cobweb to remove it faster (e.g: damsel, stone). Useful when you know you are going to past through it again
If you head to the black market and need items but don't want to get hurt by shopkeepers, blow up a few blocks left of the ladder over by the entrance, then hug the horizontal wall that meets the ground levels of the shop. This will lead to the shopkeepers falling into the other area below without jumping over to where you are.
If you want to shoot a shopkeeper but there's a corpse in the way, remember that boomerangs can go right through corpses. This is especially useful when the black market is full of angry shopkeepers shooting randomly and corpses are starting to pile up, also getting a boomerang is usually quite easy in the black market because of all the tiki men walking around. Rocks can go through corpses too, btw.
if you're about to go down a drop and are speedrunning you can whip on a ledge while you're falling and you won't grab the ledge which can save time the mothership entrance usually has 2 crates in it, making it so you can get a few extra items you can whip small enemies dropping on you you can hold blue frogs by grabbing an orange frog and jumping in water
If an altar and an idol are close enough, and if you're quick, grabbing the idol and then sacrificing immediately after stops the idol trap from starting.
The tiki trap only has two spikes in it. This means that the top or bottom cannot stab both sides at the same time. You can use this to your advantage by baiting one side of the tiki trap and safely passing through the other side while the spikes are still retracting.
I hope this channel isn't dead because it seems I'm one of the last few people who still play the first game! I want to know some really cool shit so I can be cool.... And maybe Speedrun this. What else is there for me to learn
@@wrne7121 well I know the shopkeeper only jumps if you're above him and has a "super jump" after 3-4 jumps if he can't reach you but I'm not sure what influences that super jump
@@wrne7121 oh shoot I never thought about that. Pretty cool honestly even though I can't consistently shotgun jump on my new controller. I'll keep playing though and find out more stuff until I inevitably move on to Spelunky 2

You've never assembled Voltron? Your version of the game might be bugged. It's a staple of any successful run!
Could be true, but there aren't even 20 levels before Olmec
@@Funkopedia open a lot of chests
How on earth r u gonna get 20 compasses anyway? Althought i am gonna try to find em
You didn't know? Having Voltron defeat Olmec is one of the requirements for the "best ending". And that's how you do it :P!
If an orange frog gets knocked into water (regardless of wether or not he's primed) it will turn back into a healthy blue frog

I've discovered that throwing a boomerang when you have a monkey on your back will kill the monkey. It saves the ropes if you're low on them
my friend, your voice and choice of spelunker made this one of the most hilarious yet serious videos i have seen about the game.
This video helped me learn Spelunky when I started around 2016 or so. I was such a noob before seeing this video, but now I do sub 5 min speedruns.
Here's a tip I guarantee most people don't know:
The Kapala can bring you back to life after you already died, assuming it was almost full. If a drop of blood lands on you at the moment of your death, the kapala will revive you and you can continue the run.

CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM IKR : )
why i never thought about whipping the arrow traps ._. i've always just kept something with me to drop in front of them :p
Kafurauspa I do that aswell
Me too
Same
Low IQ gang
That’s still the optimal strategy as it’s less risky. Whipping is only a last measure.
Whip pots twice so you don't get caught off guard!
+BlazingEmber V2 or throw them
+Nik O'Donnell or throw one pot into another. or just use the trusty old rock haha
I do that
Gather the pots together and blow them up. They break twice if they explode, spawning twice as many items.
Was in line at the grocery store, and went to hit play knowing I was half way into the video without headphones. Phone immediately let out a blaring “ASS”.
No regrets.

You can set a mine next to a shopkeeper to kill it, he'll just sit there as the mine goes off and you'll be able to rob the shop.
Super cool man, thanks for taking the time to make this.
Pressing the whip and jump button at the same time makes the whip's hitbox right at the peak of your jump!
Good video. Even after beating the original, playing HD for about 12 hours so far, and reading the wiki, there were still a few things you mentioned that I didn't know.

2:35 spike shoes also let you do extra damage when stomping and you can stomp enemies that you normally couldn’t stomp on
i dont even own spelunky and i still watch these videos
Are you stuck in a web on the ceiling? Then hold down constantly to get out
if you're about to go down a drop and are speedrunning you can whip on a ledge while you're falling and you won't grab the ledge which can save time
the mothership entrance usually has 2 crates in it, making it so you can get a few extra items
you can whip small enemies dropping on you
you can hold blue frogs by grabbing an orange frog and jumping in water
did the ducking thing boulder stopped in a shop with out breaking anything inside and it didn't anger the shopkeeper that customers couldn't get in
You screaming at the top of your lungs at the end was hilarious XD
Without this video, I probably would've stopped playing Spelunky long ago. Thank you!
Might as well watch this for the 4th time
You can Whip things slightly above and behind you at the beginning of the whip animation! Surprisingly useful!
If an altar and an idol are close enough, and if you're quick, grabbing the idol and then sacrificing immediately after stops the idol trap from starting.
OH! Israel! If you spin and catch the ledge while holding an object, you can grab the edge without dropping the item.
You can get the alien gun in a random crate it happend to me twice once in mines and on olmac.
The tiki trap only has two spikes in it. This means that the top or bottom cannot stab both sides at the same time. You can use this to your advantage by baiting one side of the tiki trap and safely passing through the other side while the spikes are still retracting.
If you're jumping up to a one block away from a tiki, you jump to the very edge of the block the spikes can't hit you.
if you have a ridiculously high amount of health, you can survive falling on spikes
