#Spelunky 2 ghost series

These aren't the only friendly animals in Spelunky 2: new to the series are turkeys, axolotls and, uh, rock dogs. The default pet is a dog, but you can change it to a cat or hamster in the options menu (I recommend changing it to a cat, because cats are the best). The dogs, cats or hamsters in each level will grant you a unit of life if you manage to carry them to the exit. Always rescue pets, but tame mounts at your own risk Wow, you got a shotgun! Watch that the recoil doesn't push you back into a spike trap. That is the whole of the Law.That's a general rule in Spelunky 2: what helps you can also hinder you. It is up for you to decide.ĭo as thou wilt.and harm(mostly) none. I have left the method, and shown the way. Perhaps too powerful.īut I am not the one to pontificate on the justified or unjustified means of killing NPCs in a video game, nor on 'suitable' playing styles. But having a monster pet that's invulnerable to any conventional means of attack that the NPCs have, and that hits for INSTA-DEATH? Yeah, that's powerful. I mean, I could kill all of those prisoners myself, I have plenty of times already. It was beautifu! And possibly game-breaking. To prove my claims I DID take a snapshot of my computer since it wasn't cooperating with the screenshot business.Īnd YES, that ghost tore up those convicts like a SyFy Channel movie! It's slow to start but once it gets going it's HELL ON WHEELS! It will look nice right next to the momma Poptop. I had some capture pods on me and I beat one down and captured it. Since I knew they could die that also meant that they could be captured. I screwed up taking a screenshot and I didn't care at first, but for posterity's sake and to proven that these demons CAN be KILLED I did one better. 'NO WAY!! A POLLEN pump!' 'Screw it, small miracles!' And as my crew acted as bait I leapt around like flea on meth and squirted the ghosts one at a time and in groups. I had forgotten which world I had gotten it from, but I never threw unique weapons out so I charged up and shot a ghost right in the face.and LO and BEHOLD red numbers started coming out of it! So I was like, 'F*CK IT! Smoke'em if you got'em!' and pulled out my last 'weapon', a Pollen Pump. If this were a real run I wanted a real solution.Īnd that's when I found it! I had used everything else rocket launchers, throwing blocks, a flamethrower, I even threw some bones at them.

Nothing worked at first, and I couldn't die but I certainly acted like I could. SO I used every weapon I had brought, which is pretty much my whole arsenal. I wanted to see how invincible they really were. I grabbed enough fuel on the run back to the surface to make it far, far away, but now I was pissed. Yeah.I could have just left at this point. My crew seemed like invincible dummies that kept them occupied while I thought of something. I used every explosive I had to try to keep them back. And I mused to myself, 'When's the last time I've seen a Krogan Scientist?!?', as the creatures surrounded us. I mean, how do you kill invincible maggot ghosts? You'd have to be a scientist who faced a lot of crap in space. I scrambled to dig cover but then I saw THEM! MORE of them! Five, Six, SH*T! And NO, the meteors don't hurt them either. 'And invincble too!' 'How can you kill one of these things?!' 'I didn't know the price at the pump would be this steep.'Īs we finally breeched the surface, as luck would have it a meteor shower was happening. 'Some sort of Space Ghost Maggots.' I thought to myself. My crew finally caught up as we were hounded by the creatures. I backpedalled and started another tunnel. I made a beeline for the surface, pretty much abandoning my crew to fight the thing in the process. I hadn't unburdened myself of good items and I would hate to lose them there. I read earlier that these were one-hit wonder kills so I was glad I left admin mode on, just in case. I used the durasteel assault rifle's grenade launcher to keep it back but this was some HOTEL CALIFORNIA stuff we just couldn't kill the beast. My crew tried to tackle it, but being the bums they are they were ineffectual. I started shooting at it, but to no avail. The damn thing phased right through the wall. 'Damn internet BS!' 'I was hoping to see the beast for myself.more rumors.' 'There's no moon monst- HOLY SH*T!' This way I could simulate mining for fuel and running into the creatures, if they existed.Īs I got deep I still saw nothing, until I got to a large cavity and followed the glow of what I thought was Erchius crystals. I saw nothing on the surface and was about to call 'BS' on it, but I decided to dig and make a simulated run with admin mode on straight to the core.

I took two of my crew members with me to see what was what.Īt first there was nothing. Have no fear fellow Travelers I've figured it out!Īfter first reading this thread I was like, 'There's MONSTERS on the MOON?! AWESOME!'
