Spelunky 2

I never played the first game. Does this game give any permanent sense of progression or is it just a "roguelite" where a lot of the time i will starta nd die without getting anywhere

You unlock shortcuts to later levels. But the real way to beat the game is from start to finish.

>Does this game give any permanent sense of progression
Play gachashit

that isn't progression

i'm mostly tired of roguelite games as so many runs are controlled entirely by what items you get early

Don't be shit, you can easily beat the game without any good items.

How do you get the alien compass?

Can you beat Tiamat with whip only? When I hit her with it she roared me away and I died.

gacha shit is literally progress bars and numbers going up for as long as you play it. it's the progression you crave go play some fgo.
>so many runs are controlled entirely by what items you get early
this only applies to WR chasers

bruh ive played video games since 1986. dont condescend to me about gacha shit, little fucking faggot.

Dwellings needs a nerf.
After a while it stops being oppressively hard, but doesn't stop being ungodly tedious.
I do not like having to play around 10+ enemies, 2+ tiki traps, and 3+ rope traps every single god damned floor of the dwellings.
It is just not fun.

Did they nerf shop spawns in 2?
I usually only see 1 spawn in an area, usually X-2. If I'm really lucky, then I'll see a second one spawn in X-3, but usually not.
It feels like I'm super starved for ropes/bombs because of this and that I barely ever get any items due to noshop.

oh i see you need progression because your brain hasn't. don't worry, plenty of sad old men play dokkan battle

Theres this chirp in the first stages ost that sounds just like the low-health alarm from Paper Mario ttyd. It triggers something in my brain whenever i hear it.

You can beat the game without any good items.
Spelunky is not an easy game and as such you can't do it easily.

I feel that after black market money you have doesn't even matter.

I don't think so. You either need a weapon or bombs

Yes, you can stand on her shoulder and whip her. The main thing you need to be concerned about is when she is about to roar, then you need to quickly get out of range before you climb back up. She can only roar so often so if you avoid it once you can get 7-10 or so whips in before she does it again.

What's the range?

If you haul ass and get outside the two walls or down into the water you're usually safe. So the general strategy is to get on top of her, whip her once, run away, return and whip her continuously until she roars again. She deals no contact damage, you just need to be cautious about her staff attacks and spawned enemies.

Or they just picked a dog because the damsel being a pretty woman in a red dress made sense because the default spelunky guy is an Indiana Jones expy, and now that the default guy is his daughter it'd make more sense for it to be her dog.
Oh wait no, literally everything has to be political and all choices ever made by anyone have to be political statements whether or not they make any sense in context.

cool bro but i'm playing red turban guy and i need women to whip them around

>Monty is canon
fuck malf

holy shit, I finally got my first victory after 29 hours
vlad's cape + spring shoes and 30+ sticky bombs entering the boss fight, sadly she knocked the bow out of my hands before I could see if it would do something special to her, and it was lost inside the bottomless water area
the first time I got to this point I didn't have any weapons so I explored and saw an area guarded by lasers at the top, I think I'm gonna try to get climbing gloves, a shit ton of ropes and a hoverpack/jetpack to finesse myself upwards between the lasers
