![]() If you’re looking for a challenge, Cosmic Ocean is where Spelunky 2 truly shines. It’s very easy to space out for a split second and lose your run! The other day I lost a really good run because I momentarily forgot how the climbing gloves work in this game. “As you can imagine, playing 99 levels (plus all the levels to get to the Cosmic Ocean) is very mentally taxing. “Other than the truly random and completely unavoidable things that can happen to you in any Spelunky 2 run (such as a UFO blowing you up that flew from offscreen), the hardest part about the run is losing focus,” Twiggle explained. That immediate death would have been the end of his run had he not kept the Ankh in reserve. This ended up being a smart move: on the 40th floor of the Cosmic Ocean, Twiggle was unceremoniously tossed into a pool of lava after accidentally colliding with an enemy. Tricks have been developed by some of the more savvy Spelunky 2 players to accrue more bombs and ropes by way of the Clone Gun as well as bypass the required death in the Tide Pools so that the Ankh revival can be saved for the Cosmic Ocean itself. It should also be noted that Twiggle doesn’t follow the exact path described above either. Fortunately, his use of the Kapala - an item that allows players to build HP by absorbing blood - and Vlad’s Cape - which doubles the amount of blood dropped by NPCs - allowed him to slowly rebuild his health pool as the run continued. As he approached the last possible place for Kali to spawn, Twiggle thought his run was over until he, as he calls it, “miraculously” found an out-of-the-way altar and healed himself. While doing the aforementioned Sun Challenge, a Witch Doctor inflicted Twiggle with Spelunky 2’s new Curse status, which drops the player to a permanent 1 HP until they can sacrifice at one of the game’s many Kali Altars. In Twiggle’s victorious run, it took him around an hour to reach the Cosmic Ocean, and then another three to make his way through.
