  • This challenge is about going through all of Spelunky without taking damage, all the way to Hell's Underthrone. Because that's not silly enough, let's make it a Complete Hell run, which means also going through the Worm and the Mothership. Fun stuff!

      you need to get a mystery box to get an eggplant, and it is more common to find boxes for sale than in crates, plus you need to attack Eggplant Yama to finish him off.

      Yeah but someone has done a pacifist no gold hell run before. You can kill Yama and Anubis with spike traps, mummies, etc. It would be extremely hard, but not impossible

    Have watched a bunch of your videos now and I'm so fascinated not only by your play, but also your speech. Are you a literature major by any chance? English is clearly not your first language (judging by pronunciation), but you're amazingly creative in your choice of words, and coming up with some the most exotic English expressions. Unlike most youtubers who repeat the same lines over and over again, you seem to have so much fun with language. Just curious :)

      Their isn’t a 10 percent chance to find the castle
      So under most sercomstances, you don’t need to go to the castle, but if you do encounter it you have to enter

      Ah, but it is only a stun, like when a broken arrow shaft hits you. It ain't no damage at all!

      A no items run sounds like the deprived challenge, if I recall correctly he only completed that one to Olmec though
