    I was expecting to grab the ledge above me and *not* fall to my death.

    Yeah I'm kind of a crazy person.

    I also robbed that shopkeeper for the jetpack. I destroyed the altar on 1-3 on purpose and then picked up the idol on 1-4 without thinking about it. The boulder destroyed a second altar for me rewarding me with a ball and chain. The last half hour of my attempt is basically me carrying the ball and chain around in 2-1 trying to very slowing make things happen. Edit: err, I guess that's not the whole video. Twitch has failed me, I need to re-export it. Edit2: posted new video, but it'll probably take a couple hours for youtube to process it.

    I don't think I'd keep the scepter over a shotgun, which is maybe the question you were asking? Shotgun is safer and usually good enough for most situations.

    I try a lot of risky ghosting early on, mess up the timing trying to kill a mantrap.

    Yesssss. The patch is out. https://twitter.com/spelunkyworld/status/432975894085259266

    I like the scepter. You just have to be careful when using it. It'll go after the closest dead body or enemy so you have to make sure nothing is behind you when you use it. Also croc men can teleport behind you which can also get you killed. It's the easiest way to take out shopkeepers in the temple as long as you're careful.

    So they just fire randomly when you're holding them, but you can place them near a wall and shoot them to serve as make shift bombs.

    Turrets explode when psychic bubbles hit them.

    I'd say the ghost killed me, but the real killer here is greed.

    Sometimes you just get shot in the face.

    I skipped the udjat eye because I couldn't be bothered. Was really missing being able to see gems in the wall later on though. Probably won't be skipping it in the future if I can help it.
  13. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Yes, the seeding is definitely different in the patch.
  14. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    That's fantastic

    I had a lot of fun on this daily. I decided to murder the first shopkeeper man because I really wanted to know what was in the mystery box. And then, since shopkeepers were already aggro, I decided to ghost the early vaults. I had a really tough time killing the mines vaultkeeper, it just took REALLY long time. Then I made a mistake trying to take out the jungle vaultkeeper and nearly died (was left with 1 health), which set me up to waste the ankh in a dumb way on 3-1. I finally died to the yeti king in a pretty comical way. Fun times.

    I am in a bit of a slump.
  17. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Knowing this daily was a dupe of 1/8, and knowing I missed the eye on 1/8 due to a lack of bombs, I played this one trying to minimize bomb usage. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it past the shopkeeper at the end of 1-3.
  18. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Yeah that's definitely a thing it does.
  19. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    It was supposed to be an easy heist. In and out. No one gets hurt.
  20. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I just couldn't make my controller do it.
  21. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I swear I pressed the right buttons to drop down that ladder.
  22. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    That's fantastic man. It definitely took me more than 200 deaths to beat olmec even.
  23. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Spring in the snow bounced me into the ghost while I wasn't looking.
  24. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    I throw this run away by trying to jump on a shopkeeper in the ice caves. I'm full of bad ideas during daily challenges.
  25. Idle Explorers (Spelunky, um, thumbs)

    Protip: don't use the scepter to kill a croc man
