The real trick to getting to the end of Cosmic Ocean is to leave your soul and your will to live at the door. Spelunky HD beat both of those out of me pretty thoroughly so I'm good to go for that 7-54 rolling-lizard-into-endless-fall disgrace!
Hey its a wild blargho!!
Prepare.
For a massive reply wave
What's this, a crossover episode?
hey blargh, i know you're a pretty big yter but you're also quite epic maybe we could play sometime when multiplayer comes out? my steam username is rumpletrashkins (or trash123) hit me up if you get the chance and want to, eh?
@@areallemone7380 I know someone was gonna comment this kind of reply 😐
The Constellation is the perfect reward for 7-99.
It's simple, but it's unique to you and your journey. And it stays as part of the game forever so that the journey can never be forgotten. I wouldn't change it at all.
what do you mean it stays as part of the game forever?
@@litapd311 Oh by that I mean that after you beat 7-99, the constellation you get will stay in the background in space back at the hub! (That's what the telescope is for)
The constellation stays there forever and can't be lost (unless it gets overwritten if you clear 7-99 multiple times)
I think you can also even see it in the background when taking the Olmec ship to Sunken City
Pro tip: Don't forget the bow, especially during a run that gave you three bomb boxes and a jetpack like I just did
Are you me? I literally just did that as well. ;_;
So I’m good to forget if I get all of that and a Kapala?
Pro tip: be able to at least be able to pass Olmec
Thank god you didn't get the number wrong. That would have been a big issue!!
The god of spelunky 2 has blessed us with a message. I can only aspire to be as good as you
Tip: if you have the alien compass you will be able to find the exits in cosmic ocean. However you will need to go through a more difficult path (assuming you do not do the Qilin skip), but since your goal is to finish 7-99 this should of course be no problem to you ;)
You can also get the elixir for a one time cure for either poison and curse while doubling any healing :)
Tip: the tail is has no hotbox. Meaning you can walk through it
The hitbox of the jellyfish head is also slightly smaller than it looks.
I've been trying to do 7-99 every day, I can get to CO consistently now. I hope I can do it, I'll be so relieved, my PB is 7-41
Meanwhile I can’t even beat Olmec I’ve only gotten to him about 3 times!
At least I was finally able to get Vlad’s Cape and the Crown today.
Dude have you got it yet
How thats journey a year later?
I like the fact it's a small reward. Not everyone can even get to the cosmic ocean but I fully intend to hit 7-99, it's just the completionist in me
For me, if there is nothing worthy at all at the end I don't see any reason to even try to go there. Just get to first level to complete the journal and that's it. I see no point in going further.
@@LinuxIsNotAnOperatingSystem and what about when you finish the journal? Quit and never play again? I would love to have the constellation on my account as a tiny symbol that I made it. That my effort and multiple attempts paid off and I am among the best spelunky players. That's the goal. I'm obsessed with this game
I'm still salty about the guy that made a video about Spelunky 2's difficulty saying something like, this is why you would never finish Spelunky 2 (referring to 7-99) and I was like, WAS THAT A CHALLENGE, and so my journey to achieve a constelation has begone
XD
@@NutInMyCrosshair I'll probably still play it when I want to. It is just joyful. But the torturous journal about getting to 7-99 just doesn't seem worth (or fun) at all.
@@misaelmo123 sounds like a challenge to me!!!
The completion of such a gruelling challenge is reward enough.
So Hundun is based on "Hundun" in Chinese mythology, which is a "world egg" motif according to wikipedia, and it also means "primordial chaos". I'm supposing the Cosmic Ocean is literally that primordial chaos born from the world egg, but I wonder what else it could be based on, and I wonder what the Jellyfish are based on specifically. Does it relate in anyway to why the game is set on the moon?
Cosmic ocean is just dead universe you killed hundun therefore you killed the universe
About the not rewarding enough thing, I think it would be cooler and probably easier to implement would be when you beat 7-99 it gives you a random constellation. That way you would have definitive proof, you would have a thing to show that you beat a challenge that few other people have and you would have something to show for it.
The constellation adapts to your run, so even if your constellation has the same name as somebody elses, yours will probably be a different colour, and the stars will never be the same as somebody else's.
Tl;DR: Cosmic Ocean is basically like an endless mode with actually an end, and a different ghost.
I watched this a few hours ago, and got to CO for the first time today in an online match with a friend and a random (it was also my first eggplant run :) ). I immediately died to an elevator on 7-5. 7-5!
I don't know why I'm watching an advice video on something I'll never reach, whatever, good video
That comment about being cursed and playing through Cosmic Ocean aged like wine. Go twiggle!
Cosmic ocean guide. Meanwhile me: "I hope one day I'll beat Olmec!"
I got this game like 2 weeks ago, never played previous ones, I have the shortcut now for Olmec, but never beat him and I don't want to progress till I beat Olmec, it would feel cheap!
2-3 times I got to the very final layer though!
I’m in a similar situation, I can’t get past Olmec.
However, I got this game 1 week after launch, and have experience with the Spelunky 1 Demo
@@periclescomoeddie5215 good luck with that, I ended up beating him yesterday, had some really close calls but I did beat him.
Not sure how I should proceed, i never really explored the jungles or got to Vlad's castle.
Guess I'll start playing from 1-1 and going for Vlad's crown and with that try to go as far as I can get.
@@csubi907 Thanks for wishing me good luck, and congratulations on beating him yourself!
At least I finally got to Vlad's Crown yesterday, so I will starting exploring the Jungle today.
@@periclescomoeddie5215 congrats! Vlad's crown is next on my list, I think I will leave jungle for later, I tried it before Volcana but that is way harder for me personally.
@@csubi907 When I first got to the jungle, it also felt way harder than Volcana. However, when I played multiplayer with a friend, he went multiple times into the jungle without me wanting him to, and it felt way easier. I'm starting to figure the place out.
Anyways, good luck with Vlad's Crown!
I like the new transitions man! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much every question I had was answered! Greatly appreciated see you in the cosmos
4:06 Twiggle: *whistling casually in the background*
Keep up the amazing videos dog I love it!
Heya dude, mongoose here! This video is going to help so much with ocean runs, thanks and keep up the great work.
Ive started being able to get to the cosmic ocean enough to get used to it. I definitly think just getting to the end is a good enough reward, it would feel worse if I couldnt make it and it was such a big reward
Cant wait to tackle cosmic ocean
Can’t wait to beat the CO for the first time, thanks for the host yesterday Xana! Happy Lunkin’ everyone good luck and remember to have fun!
4:10 twiggle: YES
"Why I spent 12k hours playing a game that actively begs me to hate it" :D
Quality tangent
Thanks! :)
There's a reason challenges like this aren't more common and that's not because they are hard to program. The steps needed to get to the Cosmic Ocean are daunting but doable for most players willing to put in the runs, actually finishing it requires the type of effort that I doubt even 0.1% have. Letting around 5% of your players access an area that 98% of those loyal players will never complete is not what most folks would consider ideal. Maybe having a boss a half dozen floors in with a simple fork to continue or finish with the "best" ending would have helped, but I'm not sure.
I don't like the level 99 ending just because of how hard it is to get there and all of the possible one shots on the way, it's more of an endurance test if anything, instead of going all the way to 99 I expected you had to do something in the cosmic ocean that would unlock a boss or something, idk I'll never reach 99 anyways lol
I definetely agree about the reward thing. I mean, I've beaten 43 of hollow knights bosses without getting hit...
Out of 44
pure vessel, NKG or absolute radiance
Is the jellyfish’s tail a hit box? Both when it is chasing you and when it is guarding the door
It's not! I was surprised myself, but the tail is safe to walk through.
If I ever make it to cosmic ocean this year after my almost 2nd month of playing spelunky 2, I will know im dead but see how far I get
Another tip make sure RNGesus is on your side
There is no in game reward that meets or exceeds the satisfaction of conquering a difficult enjoyable challenge. If you're taking on a difficult challenge just to acquire an item or see a cut scene then you probably aren't enjoying the gameplay that much and should probably go play or do something else that you have the ability to appreciate on a moment to moment level. If you aren't living in and enjoying the current moment you're focusing on the wrong things.
I still haven't gotten to sunken city lol
My current goal is still just to beat Olmec, but I don't feel discouraged. Spelunky wasn't made to be instantly or easily beatable
@@ValsNemesis thank you kind sir. I have beaten sunken city and the goal is cosmic ocean now
isint cosmic jellyfish just faster happy ghost ai?
The really funny thing is that I’m really good and are almost good enough to get to cosmic ocean, but I have only 5 characters so i wouldn’t be able to actually *look* at my constellation
1:17 saw that on stream XD
Did you forget to mention the alien compass?
I did indeed. XD
@@XanaGear Understandable. :)
I have never even beat the giant egg yet it’s gonna take me ages to get to the ocean
I think vlads caps is better than the Jetpack like the jetpack can get you some big height blah blah but like in neo Babylon you could just touch a trap and explode but vlads cape doesn’t have that problem cause it’s a cape so therefore vlads cape > Jetpack
Wait. Guy isnt sephiroth???
I would offer dev mode at the end. Once you beat cosmic ocean the game is no longer capable of throwing something new at you to keep your interest tied to it.
Giving the player the ability to sandbox spelunky narratively suggests that you become a god for conquering the Universe.
Personally I'm kinda torn. Cosmic ocean gauntlet to 7-99 is pretty cool for daily challenges, but tbh I'm kinda disappointed there's no Cthulhu boss with all the clues pointing to him :D
The immortal jellyfish actually exists
Does the second jellyfish spawn at 2:30 in multiplayer?
In multiplayer, the timer should still be 3:00 minutes by default, but you do lose 30 seconds for every dead player on your team.
@@MultiCool55 Oh thanks for letting me know!
and you lose 30 seconds if you're cursed so if u have 4 cursed players or 3 dead and 1 cursed you lose 2 minutes
What if you beat 7-94 with the curse effect? Secret ending? If it happens then I was the first to think of it
Nothing special, someone has already done it:

@@Pakichu thx i didnt know
@@Pakichu also the fact that you replyed to a comment from 2 months ago ang i replyed in less than half a day is crazy
@@herobrinedafirstgaming9642 Nah, I've been playing cosmic ocean these days and I'm watching related videos and reading comments.
Most people played this game a year ago and the comments are months old, but I just recently started on switch.
@@Pakichu oh ok
Thanks for being my source of spleunky 2 info, the wiki has failed me!
I dont feel its hard, its just long and thats where the difficulty comes in. If they added shops and ways to heal then it wouldve been SUPER fun
4:12 hmmmm if only
haven't even gotten past 4-1
I thought you got to 7-99 before
Tough talk coming from someone who’s pb is 7-42 as of tonight
