The Righteous Shall Prevail - Hell run without stealing or otherwise angering shopkeepers.

For additional difficulty:

- No sacrificing x-sels
- No sacrificing anything
- No sacrificing AND destroying all altars you see

Also i like how SA makes it so when you backspace it can just randomly change where the line is so you could end up erasing your entire post without realizing that you did so.


Good job Lowtax for being loving inept.

SODA TIME
I have a run I personally enjoy doing for streams, I call it the rear end in a top hat and Thief run.

*Must sacrifice every damsel (when altar is available)
*Must rob every single shop and kill every shopkeeper
*Must get every idol

Basically be a greedy jerk.

Honestly it isn't a terribly difficult run, but it is a lot of fun to watch! :v:

Do you know how to play Spelunky? Because apparently Psyche is having trouble finding a partner for a multiplayer vid.

Actually, now that I think about it, it would probably be funnier if you didn't know how to play. I propose a new challenge: the babysitter. Play a multiplayer game with someone who's never played before and try to get them to Olmec.

I've only played the game a few times, and I'm usually lucky if I can make it past 1-2. I legitimately don't think I could make it to Olmec, even with Psyche clearing the path for me the entire way. I would find some way to utterly gently caress it up, because such is my gift.

Though isn't the problem more that Spelunky only has local multiplayer?

Exactly. Psych talked about it at length in this most recent video--The game is local only, which sucks. Though I'm with Ryuujin here in that I suck terribly, being able to count on one hand the times I've made it to the jungle (Seriously, screw all the things coming at me from off screen). I think a "babysitter" run would be a great idea if only Psych could find someone else to play it with.

It actually might be interesting to see him attempt a 2P run in which the movement controls aren't synched (item/attack/rope/etc. can be synched or not). Trying to control two characters at the same time is a major brainfuck in any game I've tried it in.

Well, truth be told, I really wanted to chill out after the last few challenges I've done, so I'm just reacquainting myself with the regular game today. Doing so after all the craziness is really making it fun all over again. So I hope you enjoy the update as much as I enjoyed making it!

To be honest, I've been wanting someone to do that to Psyche for awhile now. He just has so many weird little verbal tics to skewer. The way you said "Spelunky" was comedy gold :allears:

Chapter 25 was so good that it almost made me forget I had a question from Chapter 24: If Player 2 rescues a *sel and subsequently dies before completing the level, who gets the kiss? Player 1, or Ghost 2?

Good job getting frenchised franchised, Psyche.

I think no one gets the kiss. But then again, it's really rare to die between rescuing the damsel and exiting the level for the most part.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but somebody decided to make a Metroid mod for Spelunky: http://bit.ly/PoudYz

I played it a bit and it's mostly just a re-skin, but they also changed the soundtrack to Metroid tunes, which is maybe the best reason to play it. Also, spinner spiders were changed to be little metroids on strings and it's adorable.

It would be awesome to see you play through this.

All right, I can finally post in here again in the knowledge that this thread will finally meet its end.

If it took so long for the last update to come, that was mainly because it wasn't fun at all to do this last and upcoming challenge. As a sendoff for this thread, I will be playing a Frozlunky seed on the Insane difficulty generation seed.

This challenge really was annoying to record because it entirely went against everything that I like to see in Spelunky. Spelunky is a game where you must learn how to deal with the random elements that are thrown in your way. But in order to accomplish this challenge, I needed to use a fixed generation seed, so the entire challenge relied more on memory and trial and error, which is the opposite of what the game should be.

With that said, I still hope this last challenge will be interesting for you to see, as today I finally prevailed and managed to beat the challenge before my hard drive space ran out. Now what's left is to put the last video together for people to see. But at least now the thread will be coming to an end for sure.

Apologies if it took so long to get that done, I honestly didn't have the heart to do it until now. Stay tuned for last update!
