Watching TwiggleSoft beat the cosmic ocean live at work was something amazing to witness. All of my coworker’s were gathered around watching it, they didn’t even know what was going on but they quickly got hooked. “I got a feeling he’s gonna do it and be the first in the world” I said. I was right!
I began rewatching Twiggle again a week or so ago, since I used to watch him before he left. His friendly, charming personality; his massive skill at a game he seemed to love, and feelings caused by music like this one are some of the things that inspired me to try and beat cosmic ocean... Am I anywhere close? No, not yet... But thinking about Twiggle and the legacy he left all of us is enough of an incentive to keep grinding for hours and hours... Rest in piece, Twiggle. You'll never be forgotten.
I look forward to that moment the moment I looked back on the times I have had and the suffering I felt getting there but it was all worth it just for fun and victory I look forward to this games age
@B.J You shoot Hundun in the eye, breaking him open allowing entry into the Cosmic Ocean. The Journal art shows this by 1. (read the original comment) and 2. Looking like an eye, with it's shape and the Jelly in the middle being a pupil.
I know in late. But I miss twiggle. I remember playing spelunky and messing around with my friends and I’d talk about his “spelunked” series. I can’t believe the news went under my radar for a year. Godspeed.
From personal experience of getting to cosmic ocean, I'm happy that there isn't an achievement for getting to 7-99. Just getting here and playing through a couple levels, listening to this... What an amazing reward.
@@citrufruit Yeah but if there was one, would you actually ever get it? It would make people who are achievement completionists feel really bad, knowing they only have only one more achievement to go but it's the dreaded 7-99.
It's been a year. I have clocked about 400 hours in this game since release. Most of it in December 2020 and the following months, playing online multiplayer with random people. So much fun was had. Gigantic amounts. So many nice people and new acquiantances met. Hundreds of matches. Dozens of eggplant runs, CO attainments, personally-set challenges. Now I've burned out. I frazzled everything there is to experience: all insides and outs, ups and downs, backwards and forwards. All my friends and said acquiantances have also exhausted themselves with the game. Left. It just doesn't feel the same anymore. Like standing in the middle of a long-forgotten desert, which was once a flourishing, tended grassland. Melacholic. The only thing that's left - is music. And the sensation that it kindles is a painful, stinging nostalgia; Who knows, when we'll get our next chance to experience a game with a soul, in an ocean of streamlined, profit-driven, anaemic, AAA titles?
Wow. If you wanna quit, do it. Nobody will judge you. Thousands if not millions have also 100% the game and become bored of it. So nobody has a right to judge. Do what YOU wanna do.
I used to watch Twiggle's stuff every now and then and just found out about him being gone today. I feel so wrong that I didn't find out sooner. This song was always special to me, now it's absolutely ruining me.
This theme is like finding peace in death and becoming one with the atoms of the universe. Would make too much sense if it was an infinitely expanding area with no conclusion.
I'd personally enjoy an Endless mode for the game, in which you can save your run after you head through the door, every room. Once you die, you lose said run to the void. Every 7-99 becomes 1-1, but there will be a ^2 by it, meaning it'd be squared. Essentially, star constellation appears, but the character chosen will instead launch from the glowing star, crash through the 1-1 door, knocked out for a short cinematic and without all but one (+1 per run) item. And everyone does get revived of course. Now, imagine it's the same seed. Same run and everything. Right? But the floor's doubled in size, adding more generation to it. Same secrets, people also remember you, and maybe other things occur. Who knows? Maybe we should suggest this to the creators somehow.
@@edward9487 These sort of conversations happened after Spelunky Classic and Spelunky HD was released. There were mods for Classic that did something like this, and some talk about doing the same with HD, but they never quite got finished. Derek Yu has talked more about mod support beyond cosmetics this time around, so here is hoping that a more open Spelunky will happen in the months ahead with the online coop update (and beyond). Everyone wants more cool Spelunky adventures.
R.I.P. Twiggle: your impact on the spelunky community and the people who still watch your videos can never be overstated. he was one of the few things keeping this highly competitive game a welcoming and positive community. i dearly respect him for that.
whenever i make it to co i cry every time hearing this song, twiggle was my biggest motivation to beat co and im happy i fanaly did it but i cant thank him from all the memories watching his streams and the motivation to keep going no matter how hard im stuck. i was really just depressed for a couple of weeks after he passed away, ive never lost a loved one in my life and i dont know what will happend when i do. im sorry rip twiggle you will always be rememberd.
This is the track that plays at the top of Mount Everest. If you are hearing this song in-game, it means you have joined the few of unconquerable will. You are at the summit of your journey; the work is paused, now to enjoy the view. In both cases, there is nowhere higher you can travel… … except into the stars.
One of the best songs in Spelunky 2, “Ripple” has similar vibes to “City of Lost Hope” from Death Road to Canada. It’s song that starts off moody and slowly rises the tension in a way that emphasizes the journey it took to get here and accompanies you on what will be the hardest task in the game.
Unfortunately, just beating Hundun isn’t enough to reach the Cosmic Ocean. There is a whole process that involves the sun and moon challenges. Not giving you any hints, there are online guides to get there. It is hard as hell, though.
I actually had the bow and arrow in hundun's hideway, even a jetpack the ankh eggplant crown and 99 Hp too! The game then glitched out and my character started to fly upwards trough the ceiling and died there, so i never actually reached the ocean... Edit: i reached it
I love this theme, I could listen to it for hours on end while in the cosmic ocean, currently my highest is at 7-22. Hope I'll reach 7-99 in the future.
Can some beat the cosmic ocean with AU the gold monk because in his bio he wanted to become one with the cosmic universe which sound oddly for a true ending

I never realized that the Cosmic Ocean theme was similar to Summoning Salt's theme. Now I won't be able to think about anything but the speedrun history of Mario Kart 64 while watching someone going for 7-99
This theme makes me think of what Spelunky 2 is. It's a love letter. A love letter from derek. To all the HD and classic fans, who stuck with him throughout. Spelunky 2 is truly a perfect game. If spelunky 3 is made, i don't think derek will make it.
I just made it to the Cosmic Ocean for the first time today. After a bunch of bad runs I didn't think it was going to happen anytime soon. Then I got the run and I almost had to stop and take in that I reached one of my top goals for Spelunky 2. It was a really emotionally moment for me, but man it was worth it to listen to this song in game.
How amazing would it have been if the warped worlds you encountered in the Cosmic Ocean where the Spelunky HD worlds. (Mines, Old Jungle, Old Ice Caves and the Temple)
Now that I am no longer upset over what I consider an empty ending, this song really does give me a sort of vibe like peace. I almost want to cry when I hear it, I’m not sad, just feel so at peace. Like C418 type stuff, I suppose. Away from it all, wanting to go somewhere but nowhere to go. I wish there was actual like neo babylon or likewise theme for the cosmic ocean, idk why but seeing the different themes and whatnot just seems out of place yet makes sense. Other than that, I wanna know all the lore for all this. Hundun is from Chinese (might be wrong) mythology, the whole reincarnation and the old Spelunky HD Hell is based a bit off of Hinduism, the temple is obviously Egyptian, etc. There is so much new lore yet so little explained, and I wish I could connect it all together like the constellations we become.
Fight trial through trial facing death thousands of times to uncover the vast, infinite dreamscape of the muddled cosmic egg Hundun. Reach the end and give up your body to transform yourself into an eternal constellation accompanied by millions of billions like you.
@@Lil_Ms_Dipst Mostly Hinduism, but it is also mentioned in the bible where it represents the cosmos as enveloped by primordial waters. If you've ever watched ATLA aang actually sees the cosmic ocean when opening his chakras.
I finally made it to this place yesterday, after 144 hours total. I got quite angry a few times either dying to Hundun, or the Sun challenge, or botching something along the way of getting the Qilin, but once I finally stood there in 7-5, seeing the vastness of space around me, with this music playing alongside it, an overwhelming sense of calm washed over me. I fell into a sort of trance for a bit. My run met its end in 7-8. Neo Babylon elevator + stun. I wasn't angry this time. Disappointed, yes, but still happy to have made it here all the same. It's really quite hard to put my appreciation for this game into words. This feeling alone made me forgive every stupid horned lizard I ever died to. And it really served to prove that you can get better at anything, if you just keep at it for long enough. And one day, I'll get there, to become one with the cosmos. Thanks, Derek.
Dude it's so rewarding, I've gotten to cosmic plenty of times. And one fun thing about it is that this theme is very good at being able to listen to it for hours but also not getting bored of it.
Once online coop is there I wanna see 3 person cosmic ocean with each of the crowns. One player with true, one with the normal crown, and one with eggplant. The final challenge imo.
Didn't think I could ever do it, but I finally beat Hundun a few days ago. Now I just have this as my goal. I'm dreading it, but I've got a feeling I can get there.
Am I the only one that gets emotion listening to this. All the other music in the game was good, they all seemed to fit perfectly. But this, this one I come back to over and over. Love it.
I mean in terms of aesthetic sure, both are space themed with jellyfish but beyond that there are a lot of differences because of what both of those areas are meant to convey thematically
Thinking about this again it feels like the summit a little more. You push through all the areas you have seen before, with whatever new powers/items you got. There's also the whole idea of the countdown to 7-99. Aesthetic wise and difficulty wise it feels like farewell, thematic wise it kinda feels like summit tho
I only made it here once. It was awe inspiring, truly beautiful. Getting transformed into pure energy wasn’t even that bad compared to my previous fates.
Shops, pets, and kali are not available on this map. That kind of implies that you need to have an immaculate run just to stand a chance at reaching the end.
Having been here before then reading up on the fact that there's an ending later, I can't really think of a reason to go back. Besides unlocking the journal entries and the occasional visit, I can't really say that ending the game via cosmic ocean (and I say 'ending' because beating cosmic ocean is something people with far more time and patience than myself will ever do, perhaps only a handful given that 7-99 is the real 'eggplant run' of Spelunky 2) is really anything to strive for over receiving the 'Good End' of just defeating Hundun. That is, unless there's some secret to skipping multiples of levels and shortcutting your way to 7-99; making it through 94 levels legitimately would take many hours, much more than I'm willing to invest in a run. Imagine dying on 7-80 or something.
Yeah I think defeating Hundun is the "true ending" of the game like Yama was for spelunky HD. I dont think the devs intend for anyone but the most insane people to actually make it to the end of the cosmic ocean, which explains the lackluster ending of 9-99. I guess we'll have to wait until the dataminers get to it to see if there's a way to get past the cosmic ocean.
Honestly? You don't NEED to go that far. But maybe you could do it, maybe you could be satisfied. Each run completed this way gives you a different constellation, based on HP, gold, speed, even your character. Go ahead. Name all the constellations, or even grab the best!
A big congrats to twiggle for being the first to post his adventure through the whole cosmic ocean : ua-cam.com/video/1UqEgFDRyTM/v-deo.html - that’s a lot of this music track lol 🥳
This theme reminds me of a legend somebody who inspired me to download the game and follow him in his footsteps. I hopw your doing good up there twiggle with your crown and vlads cape. Dont wory guys somebody in the spelunky 2 comminuty will soon reach the same skill level as him.
I finally got to this level to hear the music in-game. The reason I did it today specifically is that I am going full time with my business and wanted to celebrate the occasion. I feel so inspired and hopeful right now.
Hahaha... Back when I posted this, I dropped out of college and went full-time with my business. I am now on my way to making a six-figure income with my new job. Life is funny :)
Will probably never get to listen to this in-game. Haven't even reached Tiamat yet after 6 hrs of play (have gotten to Neo Babylon once or twice though). Still, it's fun to know that the game is actually quite extensive, if you have a lucky run and a good amount of skills.
You can do it! I beat Tiamat in around 12 hours but I made it to Hundun for the first time yesterday and was too nervous to beat them. But you can do it!
For some reason this reminds me of certain lyrics I heard in the song “And You and I” by YES Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time, Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme, There’ll be no mutant enemy we shall certify, Political ends, as sad remains, will die, Reach out as forward taste begins to enter you.
well, most people associate it with twiggle. who was THE most influential and skilled spelunky player, no doubt. but, he commited suicide shortly after not posting on his channel for a long time. R.I.P. Twiggle

Fight trial through trial facing death thousands of times to uncover the vast, infinite dreamscape of the muddled cosmic egg Hundun. Reach the end and give up your body to transform yourself into an eternal constellation accompanied by millions of billions like you.
The cosmic ocean itself also appears in mythology.
@@anonymoususer638 Sorry for the late reply, do you know which religion/culture it comes from?
@@Lil_Ms_Dipst Mostly Hinduism, but it is also mentioned in the bible where it represents the cosmos as enveloped by primordial waters. If you've ever watched ATLA aang actually sees the cosmic ocean when opening his chakras.
@@Lil_Ms_Dipst what do you mean by empty ending?
I finally made it to this place yesterday, after 144 hours total.
I got quite angry a few times either dying to Hundun, or the Sun challenge, or botching something along the way of getting the Qilin, but once I finally stood there in 7-5, seeing the vastness of space around me, with this music playing alongside it, an overwhelming sense of calm washed over me. I fell into a sort of trance for a bit.
My run met its end in 7-8. Neo Babylon elevator + stun. I wasn't angry this time. Disappointed, yes, but still happy to have made it here all the same.
It's really quite hard to put my appreciation for this game into words. This feeling alone made me forgive every stupid horned lizard I ever died to. And it really served to prove that you can get better at anything, if you just keep at it for long enough. And one day, I'll get there, to become one with the cosmos.
Thanks, Derek.
good job man!
such a beautiful track. i am compelled to actually get good at 'lunky just so i can hear it in-game
never heard someone call it 'lunky before. but tbh if you get good enough and upload videos or something that could be a legit phrase lol
is that the APKpure logo?
@@frayzard I just call it spelu
Dude it's so rewarding, I've gotten to cosmic plenty of times. And one fun thing about it is that this theme is very good at being able to listen to it for hours but also not getting bored of it.
@@alvin_row call it lu
Chill spelunk-y vibes to get poisoned/make peace with the universe to
Ominous yet peaceful. Like space. Nothing but you and the endless purple.
Once online coop is there I wanna see 3 person cosmic ocean with each of the crowns. One player with true, one with the normal crown, and one with eggplant. The final challenge imo.
I've never even been to the cosmic ocean, but this track is so beautiful it is now the only thing I want to do.
Not me finding out randomly 2 years later after searching this song at 2am that Twiggle left us to become one with the cosmic ocean ;(
It's a good thing this soundtrack is amazing, because if you don't like it, getting to 7-99 will be even more difficult.
Just learned that the musician, Eirik Suhrke, actually also designed the level pieces in the cosmic ocean!
Props to him
He made the H
Eirik Suhrke did a lot of stuff. When I learned he also did the music for downwell, I FREAKED.
@@KyleMortPowers wait WHAT
Didn't think I could ever do it, but I finally beat Hundun a few days ago. Now I just have this as my goal. I'm dreading it, but I've got a feeling I can get there.
you got this
Am I the only one that gets emotion listening to this. All the other music in the game was good, they all seemed to fit perfectly. But this, this one I come back to over and over. Love it.
forever and ever and ever and ever and ever...
anyone else get celeste farewell vibes from the cosmic ocean?
I mean in terms of aesthetic sure, both are space themed with jellyfish but beyond that there are a lot of differences because of what both of those areas are meant to convey thematically
Me!
It's also a final challenge fit for the toughest of players, I can totally see this
- final challenge
- space ocean
- have cool colors
- have cool colored jellyfish
Thinking about this again it feels like the summit a little more. You push through all the areas you have seen before, with whatever new powers/items you got. There's also the whole idea of the countdown to 7-99. Aesthetic wise and difficulty wise it feels like farewell, thematic wise it kinda feels like summit tho
me who cant even get past 1-2: "yeah i can do it"
not ur fault, dwelling is unballanced as hell
I only made it here once. It was awe inspiring, truly beautiful. Getting transformed into pure energy wasn’t even that bad compared to my previous fates.
Shops, pets, and kali are not available on this map.
That kind of implies that you need to have an immaculate run just to stand a chance at reaching the end.
acapellas farm blood with red cape + bombs&ropes
Having been here before then reading up on the fact that there's an ending later, I can't really think of a reason to go back. Besides unlocking the journal entries and the occasional visit, I can't really say that ending the game via cosmic ocean (and I say 'ending' because beating cosmic ocean is something people with far more time and patience than myself will ever do, perhaps only a handful given that 7-99 is the real 'eggplant run' of Spelunky 2) is really anything to strive for over receiving the 'Good End' of just defeating Hundun. That is, unless there's some secret to skipping multiples of levels and shortcutting your way to 7-99; making it through 94 levels legitimately would take many hours, much more than I'm willing to invest in a run. Imagine dying on 7-80 or something.
Yeah I think defeating Hundun is the "true ending" of the game like Yama was for spelunky HD. I dont think the devs intend for anyone but the most insane people to actually make it to the end of the cosmic ocean, which explains the lackluster ending of 9-99. I guess we'll have to wait until the dataminers get to it to see if there's a way to get past the cosmic ocean.
What would the point of skipping it be? If you want to end the game at 7-4 then do it.
Honestly? You don't NEED to go that far. But maybe you could do it, maybe you could be satisfied. Each run completed this way gives you a different constellation, based on HP, gold, speed, even your character. Go ahead. Name all the constellations, or even grab the best!
This gives an unique vibe...truly the theme of the universe
5:25 the high pitch background here makes you feel something resonating with you
A big congrats to twiggle for being the first to post his adventure through the whole cosmic ocean : ua-cam.com/video/1UqEgFDRyTM/v-deo.html - that’s a lot of this music track lol 🥳
it sucks he isnt with us anymore...
rip twiggle
Rewardingly peaceful and welcoming, considering it'll only ever be the grandmasters that will reach the Cosmic Ocean anyway
INB4 Albino fans come here after he beats Cosmic Ocean. (Good luck maggots!)
This theme reminds me of a legend somebody who inspired me to download the game and follow him in his footsteps. I hopw your doing good up there twiggle with your crown and vlads cape. Dont wory guys somebody in the spelunky 2 comminuty will soon reach the same skill level as him.
when you get hit by a bouncing yeti corpse at 7-98
The sounds of otherworldly peace.
omg your pfp I remember that game, Nostalgic times...
Having a social life is less rewarding than hearing the climactic part of this OST in-game.
So relaxing, Yet so deadly.
I finally got to this level to hear the music in-game. The reason I did it today specifically is that I am going full time with my business and wanted to celebrate the occasion. I feel so inspired and hopeful right now.
Hahaha... Back when I posted this, I dropped out of college and went full-time with my business. I am now on my way to making a six-figure income with my new job. Life is funny :)
i made it to cosmic for the first time with a guy, we both died on 7-47 or 48. Surprising how we made it that far
Great motivator to try and make it to the Cosmic Ocean
Will probably never get to listen to this in-game. Haven't even reached Tiamat yet after 6 hrs of play (have gotten to Neo Babylon once or twice though). Still, it's fun to know that the game is actually quite extensive, if you have a lucky run and a good amount of skills.
You can do it! I beat Tiamat in around 12 hours but I made it to Hundun for the first time yesterday and was too nervous to beat them. But you can do it!
@@ARandomDizzy Congrats! Yeah maybe one day :)
Heh...imagine not being able to get past Olmec...heh
Don't worry, I've played over 30 hours and still haven't even REACHED Tiamat yet. (Damn 6-3 always kills me off beforehand).
Damn neo babylon in 6 hours??? I think it took me 20 hours to get there lmao
Anyone else feeling emotional listening to this??
Yes
@@sasquatch.8 yes
This stage reminds me of Outer Wilds
I admire your curiousity, friend.
One that always hypes me in Cosmic Ocean
You can watch this video about 140 ish times straight in one full day in loop. Got time?
For some reason this reminds me of certain lyrics I heard in the song “And You and I” by YES
Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time,
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme,
There’ll be no mutant enemy we shall certify,
Political ends, as sad remains, will die,
Reach out as forward taste begins to enter you.
This song
It's actually quite sad
It's relaxing
well, most people associate it with twiggle.
who was THE most influential and skilled spelunky player, no doubt.
but, he commited suicide shortly after not posting on his channel for a long time.
R.I.P. Twiggle
@@disgustingrat4839 2 years ago nobody would have thought that, but now this song has a really deep meaning to all of us...
today we will be looking at the spelunky 2 world record progression
dang, this is the most viewed song on the ost? cant blame ya, its really good. I just cant believe it beat the main theme and the dwelling.
made it to 7-41 last night.... my confidence is boosted....
made it up to 7-76, victory is within my grasp....
@@PieBathBob Nice one, I got 7-44 yesterday, i'm omw too
7-88 baby
i fucking DID IT holy shit
@@PieBathBob gg
Rest easy twig.💗
Eventually, I will conquer this challenge, until then, getting to it is enough.
best game theme
To those of you who got here, I wish you luck on getting through 99 levels
The soundtrack that I will NEVER be able to hear in the game 😇💔
same lol
i got here for the first time today :)
fancy meeting you here
@@huehgo3600 jan
I’m sorry, did I step into the world of fucking Lofi Beats to Vibe/Study To?!
no, just into the cosmic ocean ost
@@Trechon oh ok
this hits different after getting a constellation
So calming...
Mournful BGM
it reminds me of the caves ost in stardew valley
oh yeah!
240 hours deep and i managed a PB of 7-15 today. Here's hoping I can get that constellation.
