Pretty accurate stuff. Fun thing with the Happy Ghost during the 4-ghost phase: she'll do a bunch of different things at random, either hovering around the player and standing or shuffling in place as you mention, but at times she'll _also_ try and orbit the _other_ ghosts. It seems to me like it's random which ghost she chooses to bother, but she tended to bother the Mad Ghost a lot. It definitely makes her movement a bit more erratic, and I know people have been caught out by her stopping for a while and coming in from a different angle when they've been dealing with the other ghosts.
Apparently you can also kill the sad ghist if you get him to touch the bottom insta-kill-boundary that is present on every level (the same boundary a player would die on ice caves, for example). You can see twiggle doing it a lot in his recent wr score run.
Another thing to know is that the ghost will also chase hired hands, and it can even spawn on the side closest to them. So if you trap a hired hand in a safe spot you have to watch out since the ghost might just spawn over by the hired hand and kill him.
I don't know if anyone has noticed this but the AI's of the 4 small ghosts is a direct callback to the AI's of the 4 ghosts in pacman. The happy ghost stands away, minding her business just like Clyde (the orange one). The spooked ghost tries to get the player by circling around them just like Pinky (the pink one). The sad ghost charges directly at the player just like Blinky (the red one), and the Angry ghost tries to trap the player between them and the sad ghost, just like Inky (the blue one). This is actually a somewhat accurate representation of the 4 ghost AI's in pacman.
The sad ghost doesn't charge at the player though, they are explicitly going for a point that is not the player, and rarely overlaps with the player. The angry ghost is the one that goes for the player.
Nice video, but there is one thing missing here that I think is worth mentioning. The player can actually "kill" the sad ghost in the final split form by getting the sad ghost to touch the bottom of the level. This area is considered out of bounds, so the sad ghost will not come back after going below the stage. You can do this by climbing to the top of the level, and quickly descending to the bottom.
ya but that's because she cursed you, and only if you broke the 3rd alter and beyond Beg: You truly love Chaos! just like me! yes, beg... I love Chaos...
@@Tired_man1 yes and no every level after you get cursed the ghost will spawn immediately, you will have a ball and chain and every level is a dark level, until you break the ball and chain which then your just cursed. There is also a thing where if you beat a level in under 30 seconds it cannot be a dark level
The only thing i would mention is that I think in the 4 ghosts situation, angry ghost actually takes the lead, with sad blindly mirroring, since they are always closing in at the rate of angry ghost, while sad just tries to fly past you, not necessarily at you
Well, the sad ghost comes to u first, so it does take the lead, even if it goes past you. This is called choking someone in a point to capture him. One takes the lead to cover a side and the other close at the victim.
I'm so deeply sorry for this oversight. All I can do is be grateful for your mercy and generosity that you did not mash the dislike button for my egregious error 😅. Hopefully you found the video helpful otherwise!
The smallest size angry ghost can be killed by leading it to the bottom of the level because it is technically an abyss. What happens if you use the camera to keep the ghost stunned without splitting for over a minute?
His videos are in depth guides, while Xanagear’s are quick tips and tricks. Different kinds of content require different attitudes, but I don’t think this invalidates any of the two channels.

Yeah, i live how they based them off of Pac-Man ghosts, because i love Pac-Man a lot!

Also on ice caves you can kill all ghosts except happy i believe
Fun fact: the 4 ghosts are a reference to the Pac man ghost behaviors

I never realized that. Thats really cool

The devs put some real effort into this game and i love it

You forgot the 3rd kali destruction spawning mechaninc btw
An amazing analysis of his patterns and already known information. This was exacly what i asked for, thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't blowing up Kali's altar when she's angry also spawns the ghost?
You're totally right. I forgot to add it 😅🤷♂️
ya but that's because she cursed you, and only if you broke the 3rd alter and beyond
Beg: You truly love Chaos! just like me!
yes, beg... I love Chaos...
@@jaridshinner1210 also the next level after breaking a fourth alter will be a granteed dark level

Imagine im entirely wrong now 💀
1:21
4 * 30 is 120. Therefore, 2 minutes. 3 - 2 is 1 minute, not 30 seconds.
Probably just a mistake with the spelunky HD habit of assuming the ghost comes at 2:30, lol
5:09 or as I like to call it, the pog ghost
Very helpful I always just rush through levels as soon as the ghosts splits the first time which lead to me running into the smiling ghost
From what it looks like it seems like the 4th phase the sad ghost charges at the player while the mad ghost just acts like the big first ghost
This is incredible! I would love to see next the guide about Shop discounts that you have already talked about working on.

i'm not leaving a dislike but i'm upset that you didn't call "O faced ghost" "pog ghost"
Or a wow react :O

@@utaushio5911 don’t worry. It was a great video, well presented
It should stay like that
Another great video friend! Keep up the great work!
Very good video!
2:21 - I know this is very late, but the ghkst cannot spawn on the Eggplant World I think.
Technically, she does. If you take a picture at the Empress's grave, you'll see she's there, completely non hostile.
@@evilnerd064 Yep
that jumpscare on 00:6 tho
The big ghost splits into little ghosts after a minute not 30 seconds, however the small ghosts split into ghists after 30 seconds
very nice and clear explanation! Thank you!
Great vids. To the point and entertaining!
This was useful I also like that mataco fellow from another stream I am definitely not mataco on another account
I needed this, thanks!
thanks

What happens if you use the camera to keep the ghost stunned without splitting for over a minute?
Also you can kill the sad ghost if you fall really quickly at the bottom
I've found in multiplayer or that going in and out of doors will stop the splitting of the ghosts even when 30 seconds have passed
Keep it up
I always start panicking when the ghost arrives, I hate it and it's the worst when the music just slows down kfkfkajskfkdkskf

I think you're 10 times more professional than XanaGear. But what do I know right.

Geist ist the german word for ghost...
Yes, but, in the context of Spelunky 2, Ghist (pronounced like Geist) refers to small ghosts
Most of the stuff in spelunky is macabrely humourous at worst, but the ghost's design is creepy af
anybody else watching the 4-ghosts phase and thinking "this sounds like pac-man"?

You sound like your being held at gunpoint
