OK own up who spoiled the 3rd Temple shortcut item? I wanted to see him flip s*** when he found out, and he got spoiled. I AM SO ANGERY. How dare you dull his suffering :(
Just so you know, a key will appear in every run starting ferom the mines and will appear on eithwer 1-2, 1-3 or 1-4. If you find a locked chest on any level, it means there is also a key on the level. hope this helps :3
You can flip over the edge of a platform, you do so by moving to the edge while crouching. You will grab the edge and it will make the fall one "step" lower, saving you a lot of ropes and fall damage. It's also a sure way to evaluate falls: while hanging look down, if you can see the ground you will NOT take damage. Last tip, spikes hurt you only if you fall ON them, you can safely walk into them from the side.

Tip - In the jungles with the sticky beehive things, put yourself and a damsel on one of those, and a worm will eat you. The worm is a secret level. At the end, you will unlock meat boy
Ah, finally playing from the start. Having stuff like double jump or the cape or whatever is really really helpful in the later levels so better go after those useful items in the mines which is basically just a farming part of the game. Also you should probably start "juggling" items so you can have your shotgun with you and still get the idol or the damsel to the exit. Just plan your route, and always before going down throw your items first. Just be careful about where you toss your doggie.
You can use a rope to escape from a boulder (though it's more cost effective to just run to higher ground if possible), but you put your rope right where the boulder comes from. For future reference, the boulder comes from the head of the statue, and is two blocks tall.
21:16 "We'll grab this, and put that in there... I think we'll be okay. Hopefully that'll be our last worries with that damsel ;] because now she'll go home to a safe warm bed ;D" lmao wow Ryan.
Oh, one other thing. It's very common to "juggle" carrying items through a level. So, if you have a shotgun, and you want to get the dog, you don't have to just leave your shotgun there. You can take the shotgun over, make the area safe, then leave the shotgun to go get the dog. Rinse and repeat to the end of the level!
You may just want to know that, if you're quick enough, you can pick landmines up. They'll be deactivated until a few seconds after you place them. Good for saving bombs.
Here's a tip. Next time you see an orange ball sticking out of the wall, throw a live damsel up in it and get stuck in it yourself. It will lead to a new level!
6:40 First thing came to mind was the episode of Tom and Jerry where they have to take care of a baby because the babysitter is talking on the phone all day.
There's only one key in the mines. It's only there to open that chest. (And I guess to give to the Tunnel guy.) It only spawns in 1-2 or later. So, no need to look around during 1-1. :) As you said, if there is a chest, there is a key to go along with it.
And this is why everyone has been getting on your back about starting from the beginning instead of using shortcuts. You gain LOADS more tools, money and weapons that really increase the chance of reaching and paying the shortcut man. Knowing how to deal with enemies comes naturally and most of them even become an afterthought if you get an early shotgun and cape/jetpack combination.
Spelunky only has local co-op and his friends like Mike Fox live in other cities he did mention though, that if they are ever in the same building they would try it, on a saving progress podcast.
As someone with many Spelunky wins, I DISAGREE COMPLETELY! There are some very easy ways to deal with the shopkeeper at the end of each level. Sometimes the items in a particular shop aren't worth it, but most of the time it really is! It's all about developing those shopkeeper killing skills. He did much better in this video, but he still hasn't found the best way to steal from the shopkeeper.
Dear NL, You are easily one of my favorite Let's Players, and have convinced me to purchase both Spelunky and BoI. Know that I respect you and your work immensely. With that having been said, stop fucking with the shopkeeper. He's just trying to make a living too.
Ryan figures out how to kill the shop keeper, and now just goes on a rampage every time he sees one.... making the game much, much harder on himself since they all hate you for the rest of the run... or he just dies and ends his own run
that dropping your shotgun might have been a ledge hang flip, if you crouch and then go over a ledge you flip to hang, but throw away what you're holding :D
For the sake of everyone's sanity, do not steal from the shopkeeper while doing this key run! you'll have to deal with atleast 8 blocked exits! also, when you have a situation where you're trying to get two things to the exit(Dog and shotgun for example) throw the shotgun down the hole, then carry the dog down, it'll save you plenty of ropes!
I think this all the time. He's much more entertaining to watch than most of the famous let's players. I think it comes from the fact that you can tell he is intelligent and let's face it, lots of the people on youtube are idiots who wouldn't recognise that.
Yeah... dodging that boulder - go to the SIDE. ~.o Not all that bad, and while it's no shotgun, you'd be surprised at what a delightfully diverse weapon the key actually is. Other things like damsels, idols, etc. can simply be thrown ahead repeatedly, taking care not to set them on spikes. Easier said than done in jungles though, with the puddles and tiki traps... THAT'S gonna be the FUN part, mwahahaaa!!
Kinda wish people didn't spoil so much in the games he plays. Its good to give hints but you could be subtle about it. Not just go ahead and TELL him. His reaction such as the shotgun for the jungle make it so much better :/
lol poor tip-givers with the boulder trap. It only works if you're not on the exact same place as the boulder (you need to be 2 tiles to the side of the idol).
Hey Northernlion, I don't know for sure, but I feel like not stealing might be beneficial in this run because you need to carry the key between levels, so you won't have a shotgun to kill the angry shopkeepers with.
I'm pretty sure there is always a golden key and a treasure chest unlocked by it (always containing the udjat eye) every time in the mines. I'm also pretty sure it's always on the same level, but I'm not sure which one. I want to way either 1-2 or 1-3
Sorry for spoiling the whole golden key issue, I thought you were going to take like 2 weeks to read the comment section lol! But when you get to the jungle I highly recommend that you go to the worm and grab the cryoknife it kills everything basically in 1 hit and it replaces your whip also in the worm you can get super meat boy to get there throw a the dog on the sticky orange thing in the jungle and stick to it as well .
i knew it would be spoiled by people saying it was a gold key. people commenting on how they coudnt wait ruined it for them selves by spoiling it to you. THE PAINFULL IRONY!
Hey NL i suggest you treat shops as deals with the devil. You can get the items but you will be screwed for the rest of the run by angry dude with shotguns. If you think the awesome items (jetpack for example) will be more useful than the pain of the angry shotgunners, then go for it.... But if it's shitty, like a bunch of bombs you don't need, just leave it alone until you find something better to steal. 90% of my runs ended with shop keepers until i learned this.
ok northernlion you are awesome and will probably figure all of what i'm about to say on your own, but i thought i might as well help speed up the process. 1. if you want to survive to the ice caves from the mines, perhaps killing the shopowner isnt the best idea, especially since when you kill him you usually have enough money to buy all his things. Also 2. you seem to refer to keys as if there were plenty of them in the mines, but in fact there is only one, just saying. thanks and keep bein a
Oh FFS, Turbantor isnt an insult or a racist slang. I can tell you that as an Indian. Its a nickname given to a bowler here who plays cricket. Check his wiki if you dont believe me. His name is Harbhajan Singh and he is called the Turbanator cause he wears a turban and is (was :P) really good at finishing things off. I believe the baseball term for that is a "closer".

Northern Lion:
Steals a gun at a shop, uses it to kill the shopkeeper. Immediately after:
"I make love, not war." >_>
25:32 a key on screen takes a minute to notice it and blows it cause angers all shopkeepers
we all played spelunky like this on our first runs tho
This is how NL started his career as a dog murderer.
''Camera is a good item''
Ryan -2012
OK own up who spoiled the 3rd Temple shortcut item? I wanted to see him flip s*** when he found out, and he got spoiled.
I AM SO ANGERY. How dare you dull his suffering :(
Sam Rogerson I know it annoyed me as well
5:20 'I think this is gonna be alright, we'll just bounce on top of this guy for a while'

"I'm so clever" Northernlion was thinking
Probably the best, and most accurate, description of what I felt.
Tip - In the jungles with the sticky beehive things, put yourself and a damsel on one of those, and a worm will eat you. The worm is a secret level. At the end, you will unlock meat boy

Everytime NL mentions the need to hold on to his ropes he is immediatley presented with a situation where the use of a rope is necessary
I love how before everyone told Ryan to steal from the shopkeeper but now everyone is telling him not to do it.
You can use a rope to escape from a boulder (though it's more cost effective to just run to higher ground if possible), but you put your rope right where the boulder comes from. For future reference, the boulder comes from the head of the statue, and is two blocks tall.
I was genuinely waiting for this, thank you very much!
No problem
21:16 "We'll grab this, and put that in there... I think we'll be okay. Hopefully that'll be our last worries with that damsel ;] because now she'll go home to a safe warm bed ;D"
lmao wow Ryan.
26:00 NL "There must be a key on this level!" ---the key is in the top left visibly on the screen...
Oh, one other thing. It's very common to "juggle" carrying items through a level. So, if you have a shotgun, and you want to get the dog, you don't have to just leave your shotgun there. You can take the shotgun over, make the area safe, then leave the shotgun to go get the dog. Rinse and repeat to the end of the level!
25:00 through 26:00 key, key, key, key!! "hm, where's the key?" key , key, key!!! lol
You may just want to know that, if you're quick enough, you can pick landmines up. They'll be deactivated until a few seconds after you place them. Good for saving bombs.

Good guy Smitell: Verbally attacked, apologizes after being apologized to
"We'll grab this and we'll grab this and we'll put that in there!"
Well said NL

Only took 10 years, but gave you a like :)
Northern lion puts the rope where the head is.
The rock comes out of the head.
Says we lied.
Facepalms all around!
Good timing you uploaded this, I was actually waiting for it, because I want to eat while watching it haha :)
Me too!
I really liked the slapstick movie analogy.
And this is why everyone has been getting on your back about starting from the beginning instead of using shortcuts.
You gain LOADS more tools, money and weapons that really increase the chance of reaching and paying the shortcut man. Knowing how to deal with enemies comes naturally and most of them even become an afterthought if you get an early shotgun and cape/jetpack combination.
Thanks for putting these out daily Ryan!
I SO want 2 of these a day
Spelunky only has local co-op and his friends like Mike Fox live in other cities
he did mention though, that if they are ever in the same building they would try it, on a saving progress podcast.
Most entertaining series thus far!
wake up after finishing episode 7 the other night to find episode 8 im a happy man
Really liking this series
HUGE TIP - If you want to make it past the mines jungle and ice caves stop angering shop keepers
Spelunky! Spelunky! Spelunky! we need more Spelunky!
You will never be able to do this with a pissed off shopkeeper.
Loving this series
I was watching another Northernlion video while waiting for a new Northernlion video to be uploaded; gotta satisfy this itch
5:30
I finally get one of your movie jokes! :D
It's not like they're bad, I just don't watch movies...
As someone with many Spelunky wins, I DISAGREE COMPLETELY!
There are some very easy ways to deal with the shopkeeper at the end of each level. Sometimes the items in a particular shop aren't worth it, but most of the time it really is! It's all about developing those shopkeeper killing skills. He did much better in this video, but he still hasn't found the best way to steal from the shopkeeper.
NL if you ever see one of those red floating things that act like spiderwebs, grab the doggie and sit in the red thing for 10 seconds. Have fun!
"I'm just happy to score when I can get it" Ditto.
Dear NL,
You are easily one of my favorite Let's Players, and have convinced me to purchase both Spelunky and BoI. Know that I respect you and your work immensely.
With that having been said, stop fucking with the shopkeeper. He's just trying to make a living too.
"Get- get down here! I'm gonna throw a rock at him." XD
The boulder part was hilarious.
Ryan figures out how to kill the shop keeper, and now just goes on a rampage every time he sees one.... making the game much, much harder on himself since they all hate you for the rest of the run... or he just dies and ends his own run
It's best not to mess with the shopkeeper so early, or else he'll hunt your ass all the way to the ice caves.
that dropping your shotgun might have been a ledge hang flip, if you crouch and then go over a ledge you flip to hang, but throw away what you're holding :D
Awesome LP series. Keep it up!!!!!!!
For the sake of everyone's sanity, do not steal from the shopkeeper while doing this key run! you'll have to deal with atleast 8 blocked exits!

Northernlion! If you pick up a landmine before it blows up it will deactivate and you can throw it at enemies!
.. "ima look for this damned key" ITS TO UR TOP LEFT WHEN U SAID IT DAMMIT
Yeah... dodging that boulder - go to the SIDE. ~.o
Not all that bad, and while it's no shotgun, you'd be surprised at what a delightfully diverse weapon the key actually is.
Other things like damsels, idols, etc. can simply be thrown ahead repeatedly, taking care not to set them on spikes. Easier said than done in jungles though, with the puddles and tiki traps... THAT'S gonna be the FUN part, mwahahaaa!!
poor dog and shop owner.......its bad but i just cant help cracking up to all these shenanigans
Roping to get away from the boulder normally works, you were just unlucky in where the boulder
came from.
As an actual Arab Muslim I find that name hilarious, and even call the character that myself sometimes, although I usually call him "Achmed."
Dennis Nedry. "Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word. Ah ah ah..." - "PLEASE, GOD DAMN IT. I hate this hacker crap."
Hey Ryan when you see the alien ship going up, there's a secret level at the top
i have a feeling the key is gonna be the polaroid of spelunky
Dogs are the most badass thing in this game
The big tiki head in the mines has something to do with the "City of Gold".
Kinda wish people didn't spoil so much in the games he plays. Its good to give hints but you could be subtle about it. Not just go ahead and TELL him. His reaction such as the shotgun for the jungle make it so much better :/
1. Throw Dog into sticky ball
2. Get stuck in sticky ball
3. ???
4. Profit.
"I think I just killed this dog. Don't tell anybody! You guys'll keep my secret safe, right?" He said, brandishing a shotgun.
watch that person at the door wanting give him a 1 million dollar prize, but he was to busy playing spelunky....
I actually like the music in the ice caves the best.
Does the game not have jetpacks anymore ? I remember the first one that was on PC had jetpacks that make everything so much easier.
The key and locked chest always generate once in the mines. If you don't find something, you didn't look properly.
Some people,throw grenades to eliminate enimies,lion,throws dogs....
lol poor tip-givers with the boulder trap.
It only works if you're not on the exact same place as the boulder (you need to be 2 tiles to the side of the idol).
The boulder actually damaged you because you were at the face of the statue, where it comes out.
Awesome! Spread the word! I wanna see Ryan's reactions.
Northernlion is becoming a serial killer
To maximize your chances, gold and items, first explore levels horizontally and only then go further down.
If he keeps killing shopkeepers he will never open the shortcut.
Hey Northernlion, I don't know for sure, but I feel like not stealing might be beneficial in this run because you need to carry the key between levels, so you won't have a shotgun to kill the angry shopkeepers with.
HEEEAL YEAH ahhhh a nother NL spelunky episode
It's not unheard of for Isaac to bug and give items that it's not supposed to yet.........dotdotdotdot
I'm pretty sure there is always a golden key and a treasure chest unlocked by it (always containing the udjat eye) every time in the mines. I'm also pretty sure it's always on the same level, but I'm not sure which one. I want to way either 1-2 or 1-3

0:52 OOOH GOOOD, WHAT HAVE DONE?!?!?!?!
Welcome back to Ryan pisses off the shop keeper part 8!
Northern....Dont put the rope right above the idol, make it a couple bloks away. ;D
i knew it would be spoiled by people saying it was a gold key. people commenting on how they coudnt wait ruined it for them selves by spoiling it to you. THE PAINFULL IRONY!
Hey NL i suggest you treat shops as deals with the devil. You can get the items but you will be screwed for the rest of the run by angry dude with shotguns.

Just noticed that you actually BOUGHT the shotgun and then proceeded to kill the shopkeeper.
Kind of... not optimal.
Its funny when he calls the Turbinator a terrorist LOL
Northerlion: "I'm a lover not a fighter" - proceeds to kill dogs, shopkeepers and wildlife with his shotgun.
A lover who loves fighting
The camera stuns enemy like the yeti,cavemen,UFOs etc
@STUDIOohLaust he didn't buy the shotgun, he picked it up and killed the shopkeeper
I think he added the 'inator' at the end because it sounded like Terminator.
Oh FFS, Turbantor isnt an insult or a racist slang. I can tell you that as an Indian.
Its a nickname given to a bowler here who plays cricket. Check his wiki if you dont believe me.
