It's really awesome seeing a few episodes of Spelunky here and there - I feel like as a regular series it got kind of stale after so many episodes with really incremental progress, but seeing a little bit every now and again keeps it fresh and also prevents Spelunky fatigue, which just makes the game harder to play.
For the love of docking Northernlion. ALWAYS sacrifice TWO damsels, you will get the Kappala which is super helpful after you kill youself in the Ice Caves due to the huge amount of Yetis. It's like a giant blood bank, you could easily get up to 7+ health by the time you reach the temple, and from there just keep increasing your health.
A little Spelunky 101 from a Fan of yours and Foxmans Series's :) The 2nd Sacrifice ALWAYS gives you the Kapala. Use Altars whenever possible. Consider murdering shopkeepers with smth else than a freeze ray so you can sacrifice a corpse (dead shopkeeper = living damsel value!) The Hedget Head is NEVER on the first or 4th level. Sacrifice 4 Damsels for 12 health, which you can trigger post-revival, is awesome (and fox beat hell with that) buy absolutely EVERY bomb, they ALWAYS repay (gems)
NL, the second damsel you sacrifice ALWAYS gives you the Kappala, and I think that you can only get it that way, i.e. with TWO damsels. Don't sacrifice just one and decide against the rest unless you have low health and don't think the Kappala will heal you up fast enough.
"Let's not fuck it up." Instantly dies. "The kapala would be great right now" Skipped the second sacrifice. "Textbook Spelunky play so far" Leaves without the Hedjet. -The Northernlion Story
To everyone raging about how NL doesn't know this or doesn't know that: If you're watching NL for expert Spelunky play, you're doing it wrong. Plus he did warn everyone at the beginning that he was probably going to fuck the run up somehow, so you can't be mad if he warned you.
I just beat the soopersecret hell run of Spelunky yesterday after 815 tries, so i can vouch that it's very difficult. It usually comes down to bombs. If you get lucky and get like 70 bombs, it makes beating this thing a TON easier. I'm trying to beat it with a friend now.
Northerlion, sacrifice ALL your damsels on the way to the Black Market. When you die with the ankh your health gets reset to 4, but if you sacrifice 2 damsels you get the Kapala which you keep
keep playing NL i love to watch you make progress, was very impressed by how you handled your way up to the giant statue head some pro spelunky play, fast but efficient =)
Actually, it more or less is unless you're very lucky and the door spawns in a place that you can see it. Otherwise, you'll never know if you're on the level with the black market door or be able to find it if its literally covered completely up and hidden from sight.
I'm not mad about him missing the Hedjet because he died to Olmec, and I'm not mad about Olmec killing him because he didn't have the Necronomicon. It's a vicious cycle of not-mad-ness, but please god please NL make sure to pick up the Hedjet next time!
there are still inaccessible places with cape+climbing gloves, also the climbing gloves get you 'stuck' to walls in critical moments which is insanely annoying but mostly, being able to manuever in the air is beyond important all around, especially in hell so much so that there's a place in hell where you can get vlad's cape to make up for the lack of a jetpack :3 mostly due to the boss fight
didn't NL already have the shortcut? I've watched like 20 vids where he tried to get the key to the ice caves. BTW: Thanks for introducing me to spelunky, I borrowed an XBOX pretty much only for this game^^
Genuinely laughed out loud when i saw NL not pick up the headjet. Didn't think he would notice props that you did, clearly you pay more attention than I give you credit for :)
Er.. if you have to pick up the headjet.. can you also pick up the item you were holding? I've, all this time, just thought it automatically sent you thru the door.
You should've really known that you either need to wait for the Hedjet to fall or jump to get it. Even I know that and I've never played Spelunky myself and why did you want to look for the golden door if you can't get in without the Hedjet?
Hey NL, I really apreciate that u still do Spelunky. Very entertaining and u still need to get to hell (like u promised!). Would love to see more spelunky, but mabye the breaks between your plays will help increase the odds of u making it to hell eventually :)
funny how it is a fact..... more and more people are getting behind his spelunky plays because well.. nearly 500 issac episodes later and it;s starting to wear thin.

Northernlion, you amaze me with your ability to constantly find new ways to fail in Spelunky. Bravo.
"So I'm just gonna pick up as much gold as I can..." ~ immediately exits near 2 gold bars ~
This series makes me so happy

On the ice caves, you can pick up the landmines. They turn off while you're holding them, so you can prevent one from exploding by grabbing it.
The nice thing about these videos is that you always learn something. Mostly intimate details about NL's private life, but still.
Spelunky is a good thing to have every once in a while
please keep up the series. it's so much fun to watch! (which is a great alternative to not being able to play! lol)

Spelunky episodes are my favourite!

Well, that was pretty hilarious. And I learned something new about the Hedjet. Too quick with that RB button! You beat gravity.
No, you always get the Kapala on the second sacrifice of the damsel. Not necessarily when you sacrifice dead damsels or enemies (dead/alive)
You killed two snakes with one stone!!!
"Let's not fuck it up." Instantly dies.
"The kapala would be great right now" Skipped the second sacrifice.
"Textbook Spelunky play so far" Leaves without the Hedjet.

You're getting (kinda) better at Spelunky, NL! Keep up the series!

That was textbook Northernlion.

"Spelunky is not making a daily return."
We can always hope though.
Northerlion, sacrifice ALL your damsels on the way to the Black Market. When you die with the ankh your health gets reset to 4, but if you sacrifice 2 damsels you get the Kapala which you keep
Although a jetpack is basically need for the last boss in Hell, the Cape can save you from spikes, which the Jetpack can't.
Only Ryan could offer more apologetic apologies than another human being.
keep playing NL i love to watch you make progress, was very impressed by how you handled your way up to the giant statue head some pro spelunky play, fast but efficient =)
0:58 Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it,
No one wants to be defeated!..

You gotta beat it, the Northernlion story.

*comments on his textbook spelunky play*
*forgets one of the key items of the game*
The Northernlion story... xD
Reminds me of when he forgot the key.
Good times, good times.
instant like for the opening
Awesome! Keep the Spelunky coming :D
Genuinely laughed out loud when i saw NL not pick up the headjet. Didn't think he would notice props that you did, clearly you pay more attention than I give you credit for :)
NL, for what it's worth: Of all the Spelunky LPs on youtube, yours is the only one I watch. Fuck the haters, and can you at least keep it weekly?
Um, here in the Spelunky Textbook, it says to bring the Damsel to the Exit before sacrificing yourself at the Statue...
I hope he'll do more FTL episodes so we can yell at him to upgrade his engines again.
NL!!!Udjat Eye is NOT required for the black market BUT Makes it easier to find gems and money on top of being able to easily find the black market.
I like it when you play as the blue and yellow guy :(
"I fucked it up real bad" the northenlion story
"lets just not fuck it up" he says as he jumps in a hole beneath olmec
ah okay good to know, thanks!
SPELUNKY, I CAN DIE HAPPY!!!
1500*35 = 52500, you were super close NL! 34 would be the "most" correct answer but I'm still impressed.
You always get the Kapala on your second sacrifi e
He already did in his own save file. We don't need to go through all that again.
As long as you have an internet connection, an account (Gold not required), and the Microsoft Points, you can purchase arcade games off Xbox Live.
Er.. if you have to pick up the headjet.. can you also pick up the item you were holding? I've, all this time, just thought it automatically sent you thru the door.
*Faster Than Light
YOU HAD ONE JOB!
From 11:45 to 11:54 was like some shit straight out of Final Destination.
MOAR!
Thank you NL :P
Cape + climbing gloves are not as good as a jetpack, but the benefit of the jetpack over cape + climbing gloves is pretty minimal to be honest.
(Insert Personal Observation Here)... and I'm sorry for that. - The Northernlion Story.
It's like he forgot the polaroid in Isaac xD
There's a fine line between failing and playing a game
Keep up the spelunking!
You saved me a lot of exasperation.
Thank you.
You should've really known that you either need to wait for the Hedjet to fall or jump to get it. Even I know that and I've never played Spelunky myself and why did you want to look for the golden door if you can't get in without the Hedjet?
that NL, fucking up waiting. classic XP
8:30 Had you just sacrificed her, you would have gotten the kapala, man!
Hey NL, I really apreciate that u still do Spelunky. Very entertaining and u still need to get to hell (like u promised!). Would love to see more spelunky, but mabye the breaks between your plays will help increase the odds of u making it to hell eventually :)
Missing the Hedjet happened to me too, NL. It's okay.
This was a great run IMO.
A colossal dissappointment indeed, but well played, sir!
Troll engine at full effect xD
how much fing longer before this version comes to PC damn it!!!!!
18:56 Textbook Spelunky play, huh?
Northerlion Keep Up This Series
Olmecs purpose... to anger NL :I
Could have traded 4 ropes to sacrifice damsel to get the kapala
Brings damsel to the exit for 1 heart instead
funny how it is a fact..... more and more people are getting behind his spelunky plays because well.. nearly 500 issac episodes later and it;s starting to wear thin.
It's what I tell myself every day about Borderlands 2...
i think it will be better "free". i.e. he's not forced to do it, i think Ryan, and therefor us obviously, would be happier that way
Will you do a Legend of Dungeon LP?
If you sacrifice 2 damsels you always get de kapala
This is probably the most beautiful chain of comments that has ever been left on youtube.
i gasped.
It opens the door.
That wasn't the end of the Olmec fight
saying he want kapala
skips it 3 times
3:10 ""Welcome to Error's Specialty Shop" easter egg?
Omg yes. Never stop this Northernlion. NEVER. OR ILL tAKE YOU TO THE BANK. THE BLOOD BANK.
Wow, NL... just wow.
Moaaaar spelunky!!! This game is awwwesommee!!!
Dat gasp
NL you do realize more people are coming to like this let's play then issac right?
That's what I tell myself everyday about Grey's Anatomy..
Yup I do...Shame the pc version has better music though cuz dats the only real reason why I play it now... /:
Actually the blackmarket is right there
Because he's playing on the XBLA version. You probably have the PC version.
not knowing anything of chris brown...... a true blessing
SPELUNKYYYY :D *drops like*
Wait.. WE NEED Skulls of the Shogun back!!!
