One star appears for each million earned. Stars with a golden halo around them appear. The following charts display each word, going from highest priority on the list to lowest priority.Īmount of stars on constellation increases with total HPĪdditional small orange stars, 1 for every 4 Dogs rescued.Īdditional small orange stars, 1 for every 4 Cats rescued.Īdditional small orange stars, 1 for every 4 Hamsters rescued.Ĭomplete the game in under 1:56:00 (1 minute average per level) Some words have a higher priority than others for example, if a player meets the criteria for the word Canis but also meets the criteria for Solanum, the constellation's first word will be Solanum, as it has priority. Added Elixir and The True Crown promoted Spike Shoes.The Constellation will be given a special name consisting of a prefix and a suffix, depending on what the player did. (update : Finally beat the Cosmic Ocean!! Feels good.

If you have thoughts I'm all ears on Twitter. and a Mattock would be nice.Ĭertainly not everyone will agree with all these choices. Spike Shoes, Alien Compass, Kapala, Ankh, Jetpack or Vlad's Cape. Paste, Spectacles, Climbing Gloves, Pitcher's Mitt, Spring Shoes, Those are my tiers! In an ideal Cosmic Ocean run, I'd have: Oh, and just to mock you, this crown also makes shopkeepers refer to you as 'your majesty' and doubles all of their prices. You could spend your whole life mastering this game. There's so much depth here, it's just amazing. The endgame implications here are significant - the intense difficulty of the timed auto-teleport, combined with anĪlmost endless supply of bombs sort of create an entirely new (way harder!) mode for the hardcore players of the world. I haven't looked it up yet, but that's a diabolical challenge that I'm sure some speedrunners are finding impossible to resist attempting (maybe they've already done it?).

(That's just evil Derek, absolutely evil.) I think I've only ever had it once and I'm sure I died quickly because I barely remember it.Īpparently there's a small but significant in-game reward if you somehow manage to defy guaranteed death and conquer the Cosmic Ocean using this insanely dangerous item.

Personally, I wouldn't last, uh, 22 seconds having this thing attached to my head. There is an upside to this absolutely suicidal feature - every time you teleport, you are given a whopping 22 bombs. This is an absolutely bonkers item that was dreamed up by a madman!Īs if teleporting intentionally weren't already dangerous enough, this item automatically teleports you every 22 seconds! Prioritize getting these items on every run. You always want them, and if you don't have them, you're worse off. Note: I've omitted many items from this list because they're either resources or special quest items, including: (The items are listed within the tiers in no particular order.) (update : 7-99 achieved! boy was that hard)Īnyway after spending way too much time with this game, below are my Spelunky 2 item tiers. My current record is 7-56, which I think is pretty good, although 7-99 still feels far away. I have every achievement but I haven't (yet) beaten the famed Cosmic Ocean. But I love the game, have a deep passion for it, and am a bit obsessive. I won't pretend to be the definitive expert on Spelunky 2 hundreds of speedrunners could run circles around me all day. Thanks to my generous friend Joe I've been playing
