Those first three minutes contain the most bewildering use of Spelunky 2 resources ever witnessed by human eyes, and I absolutely love it EDIT - and he tops it off by spending 8000 on the present too. King.
I died inside when I saw NL blow four bombs and two ropes just to kill monty, when he could have put spent one to safely get both if he put it to the left of the key.
While I agree the resource use was atrocious, I have to give it to the Egg for not giving up on a cursed seed. Like come on Derek, what kind of bs is that you have to use bomb to get the key AND another to get to the chest.
when i first saw the setup i thought this comment was a little unfair, the placement seemed somewhat precise and I thought it wouldn't be unreasonable to use 2 bombs and maybe a rope. after seeing it, it definitely has pot play vibes. dead monty, 2 bombs wasted, extra rope wasted, fall damage. my oh my
"The Crown doesn't do anything" But it does! Gives you like 50% off shops. Not a huge deal but can help. Buying out that bomb shop only cost like $13k.
I gotta say, even though this run wasn't the success story we are all waiting for, watching NL go through that extremely cursed volcana region and still manage to survive and get dracula's cape was incredible.
That was a great episode, the plays on volcana were pretty impressive considering you were strapped for ropes the whole time. The way your face lit up upon seeing you successfully survived the ankh spot and then the little nod of "well, we did it, but we're probably dead" was a fun end
Isaac used to be my daily digest, but never in quite the same way as the morning pogs of Spelunky 2 keeping spirits high during COVID. Thanks, NL. Appreciate ya.
Everyone else is mentioning that terrible play on floor 2 where you used almost all your resources when you could’ve just used one bomb, but not me. Instead I’d like to mention that sick Olmec surf at 21:50 that was some pinpoint accuracy my dude!
His Olmec fights are getting better for sure! I hope he gets more confident whiping that 4head balls, it makes you able to get through fase 2 without wasting bombs and faster
I don't usually comment, but always leave a like. I also don't typically watch the Isaac videos; however, I've binged several episodes recently. The best banter had escaped me until now. I just wanna say this is some of the best content on the web. It doesn't really matter what's being played, it's always entertaining. I've been subscribed for about 3 years and look forward to whatever comes next. Thanks for all the good eats and great pogs!
so the interesting part about the ahnk skip attempt here is that 1. he needed to bomb all the floor to have more space and 2. he needed atleast 2 more ropes to get out safely, aside from that he had a pretty good spot
*Eric Andre meme where he's shooting Hannibal Burress, Eric is labeled "NL" and Hannibal is labeled "Resources", the gun is labeled "Spending 4 bombs and 2 ropes to get a dead monty and the key" Norhternlion: "Why would Derek do this?"
I’m new to the northernlion community so I’m still trying to learn the language so. “I’m pog city’d out my gourd for the straight injection of pog into my poggers morning...Thanks egg!” I hope I was literate, good morning everyone!
Yeah she was Sophie in Peep Show. Actually Big Suze aka Sophie Winkleman I believe married into the royal family in some way? Like to a Duke or something?
I got Spelunky 2 a few weeks ago and just got to the Jungle twice yesterday for the first time! Tbh I used to backseat but I get how hard this game is now! Sorry Ryan!!!!! Also happy belated birthday!!
Wasn't terrible with that escape attempt. A bit more bombing the ground layer may have given you a bit more space to use the double jump to get out of that position? But with only one rope, you probably would have needed a jetpack *and* climbers to make it out alive, so you were just out of luck there.
I didn't get why he was destroying the Kali alters until I realized... He needed the ball and chain to destroy the moai head to get the eggplant thru. Clever
Suggestion : Smite in 2020 Its been 8 years, so much has changed, it can be casual and competitive depending on game modes. Personally would love to see it and the learning curve.
NL, please just watch the videos showing how to do the ankh save. Xanagear has videos showing different methods of doing it depending on the resources and items you have
Feel compelled to defend NL on this one, all of y'all are clowning him for the bombs/ropes/present on the second floor, he quite literally addresses all of those criticisms in real time and admits the mistakes, give the guy a break damn
80 episodes and this man still hasn't learned that laying a bomb on the ground below 2 layers of blocks will not destroy both blocks. I'll never get tired of the reactions though.
So everyone has their own opinion on the whole volcana vs jungle thing... I just wanna chime in as someone who watches the videos but doesn't play the game. Regardless of which path is better, I think it's more _entertaining_ to watch runs that go through volcana. It moves quicker and seems to be less about getting enough money and rescuing children of the forest, and more about just surviving. I do appreciate that he goes to both, though. Even if deciding where to go before the run even starts seems somewhat questionable. :D

Spends 8000 on the present and doesn't even go eggplant

Was looking for this comment
Have your like kind sir
May the pog be with ye

Its the spelunky equivalent to the pot play brothers
@@Alphatox I mean NL made it cursed in the first place, it had everything to go right but the absolute madman did it again
that second floor was a pot play brother. one bomb coulda gotten both the key and monty
4 bombs and a robe to kill a Monty and get a key.
Could have been done with 1 bomb
Honestly the worst floor I've seen him do lol
when i first saw the setup i thought this comment was a little unfair, the placement seemed somewhat precise and I thought it wouldn't be unreasonable to use 2 bombs and maybe a rope.

dead monty, 2 bombs wasted, extra rope wasted, fall damage. my oh my

@@litapd311 not precise at all, you just put the bomb in the right corner of the space where it's 2 blocks above the monty chamber
"The Crown doesn't do anything" But it does! Gives you like 50% off shops. Not a huge deal but can help. Buying out that bomb shop only cost like $13k.
Yes, but, there’s like maybe 1 shop left by that point
'Ice coffee goes infinite like a Blue Magic the Gathering player' may just be the greatest simile in human history
I gotta say, even though this run wasn't the success story we are all waiting for, watching NL go through that extremely cursed volcana region and still manage to survive and get dracula's cape was incredible.
Pog
You know it's gonna be a good one when the opening gambit is using three bombs to accomplish half of what could have been done with one.
A single bomb beside the key would have freed it and Monty down below as well.
This is 3 minute chess my dude, no time to puzzle it out
NL near the end "i saw malf make himself a little alcove but the problem is getting back out of it again"
me remembering the title: (:
I love that 80 episodes in he is still talking to the beat of the dwellings song
That was a great episode, the plays on volcana were pretty impressive considering you were strapped for ropes the whole time. The way your face lit up upon seeing you successfully survived the ankh spot and then the little nod of "well, we did it, but we're probably dead" was a fun end

I'm glad I stayed up all night to experience this pog in its freshest state.
It won't spoil though.

it do be hitting different when it's fresh
that volcana floor where you bombed the spike ball and killed vlad with the bow was pog city!!

The Crown gives you 50% off of all shops.
wow im just realizing why i never worry about money on volcana runs
I need that on dwelling and jungle, not tide pool and neo baby. Therefore trash item besides quest
ayo algorithm. Give this man the same amount of pogs he gives us. Please.
Facts facts
hallowed be thy pog
This, is why I watch NL... so good. Laughed the whole way through
This is my first time watching a NL Spelunky 2 video while purposely not looking at the time stamp or title. It was nice, made things tense.
so the interesting part about the ahnk skip attempt here is that 1. he needed to bomb all the floor to have more space and 2. he needed atleast 2 more ropes to get out safely, aside from that he had a pretty good spot
26:12 poison tilts him so much that his voice went back 8 years and he sounded just like his pre-second puberty days
I introduced my friend to this channel and for some reason he calls NL "The Great Northern Lion". Just wanted to share that.
POG
"In many ways..." I was really waiting for "this was a success" followed by immediate death.
Lets go, I was waiting for 3 am for this. You're getting me through deadweek NL! Thanks
Getting close to the lava skip, you are on the right track!
*Eric Andre meme where he's shooting Hannibal Burress, Eric is labeled "NL" and Hannibal is labeled "Resources", the gun is labeled "Spending 4 bombs and 2 ropes to get a dead monty and the key"
Norhternlion: "Why would Derek do this?"
NL: I'll see if it's possible
Me: looks at time left in episode
Me: it's not possible.
Me: I wish it were possible
If you add more ropes and climbing gloves you could have made that work at the end there.
That ending was great to see. Even though you died, your method to avoid spending the Ankh would have worked if you just had a few more ropes.
Sewer Surfin! Yes! One of the best video game songs ever! Turtle Power!
Everyone: Resources
NL: Rezources

caught up on chess and spelunky is right there waiting
If you whip the arrow you don’t have to wait for it to fall
"It's been a while since I've seen Happy Gilmore 500 times."
Good to know we're living the same life brother.
This reminds me of the good old youtube days, when there was always something new being uploaded regardless of the time of day.
The mojo is back!
‘Watch til the end’ never hit as hard as it does for this vid😂😂😂
Exactly 30 minutes long, well done egg!
My Man asserting his dominance in volcana. Glad you broke the routine and sorry for calling you mr dumb jungle
The crown gives you discounts in shops, shop keepers will you call you "your majesty" when you enter
1:35 The return of the Pot Play
I’m new to the northernlion community so I’m still trying to learn the language so.
“I’m pog city’d out my gourd for the straight injection of pog into my poggers morning...Thanks egg!”
I hope I was literate, good morning everyone!
Pog
What I've understood, don't try to understand their memes.
I thought he would say “Let’s do it dude, let’s watch Happy Gilmore!”
He's learning! Soon he'll be doing the tiamat skip with his eyes closed.
Ladies and gentlemen, update your scorecards, the volcana @Dril, bomb, ball crusher, and vlad play was very cool and VERY legal
The Spelunkers Curse strikes again!
Yeah she was Sophie in Peep Show. Actually Big Suze aka Sophie Winkleman I believe married into the royal family in some way? Like to a Duke or something?
NL has transcended into Van Hellsing.
The 1hp bars were ridiculous. I’m pretty sure there were 16 strong ones there.
17:25 i laughed so hard i spit my drink
Yo NL is start to get the ankh save. Need more ropes sure, but also bomb the floor. So it doesn’t fill up too high
Ooh, I'll try to remember that one.
Love the Peep Show reference (it's Sophie)
1:56 I just can't believe he still hasn't learned that not blow up two layers above him. How many times has he tried this by now?
#1 big advantage to drink I like: it tastes good
sage opinions
Egg can easily get both monty and the key with 1 bomb... proceeds to use 4 bombs and a rope while killing monty in the process galaxy brain moves
I got Spelunky 2 a few weeks ago and just got to the Jungle twice yesterday for the first time! Tbh I used to backseat but I get how hard this game is now! Sorry Ryan!!!!! Also happy belated birthday!!
Damn, we really all be here at 5:02 a.m. huh? Well, we do Stan a punctual egg.
5am for one, 1pm for other :)
1) ignore every easy altar in the early game
2) desperately try to leverage crappy late-game altars
3) create highly desirable content
Wasn't terrible with that escape attempt. A bit more bombing the ground layer may have given you a bit more space to use the double jump to get out of that position? But with only one rope, you probably would have needed a jetpack *and* climbers to make it out alive, so you were just out of luck there.
nl you should use the freeze ray and camera on the boss fight you can freeze and stun him
Yo you died but I'm so glad you tried to do the Ankh skip.
Nobody ever gets anywhere without trying. :)
Happy Gilmore is essentially just a Western version of a Yakuza protagonist, change my mind.
Cant believe he used 4 bombs and 2 ropes to kill monty and get the key when only 1 bomb without priming it wouldve done it and kept monty alive
indeed, ice coffee does last forever.
I hope he experiments more with the ankh save later
25:17 „What do you got? Ropes? It's kind of an invalid prospect in my opinion.” …
Trainwreck run but can't look away.
Not a bad attempt. Good POG-ress, just needed more resources and you could have pulled it off
Sadly don't have the time to watch this one today but I'm hitting NL with a comment for the algorithm :)
I didn't get why he was destroying the Kali alters until I realized...
He needed the ball and chain to destroy the moai head to get the eggplant thru.
Clever
On 1-4 pretty sure you can walk through with turkey to the back
Never stop
1:40 Why bomb from above when you can toss bombs around from below?
If you understand Northernlion’s humor, you’re doing something right in your life.
Suggestion : Smite in 2020
Its been 8 years, so much has changed, it can be casual and competitive depending on game modes. Personally would love to see it and the learning curve.
NL, please just watch the videos showing how to do the ankh save. Xanagear has videos showing different methods of doing it depending on the resources and items you have
Chance would be a fine thing.
I thought you were a Turtles In Time fan when you made your "My bow! My bow!" comment, but this episode seals it.
Oh no, did we get future spoiler for slashers keep at 00:29 ?
D:
If you have to expend more than 2 bombs/ropes to get Van Horsing free then its probably not worth it.
coulda gotten both the damsel out alive, and the key, if you just put the bomb in that slot to the left of the key.
“The crown doesnt do anything” it actually makes shops cheaper
Oh taht ending...
DEREEEEEK
I'm getting the feeling that DEREK is a new alias for a PEBMAC error.
does anyone know why he pronounces it "rezources"
leaving the web gun was a big misplay
Feel compelled to defend NL on this one, all of y'all are clowning him for the bombs/ropes/present on the second floor, he quite literally addresses all of those criticisms in real time and admits the mistakes, give the guy a break damn
I think people are just commenting on it, haven't seen anyone being mean spirited about it yet
Can you even get hit by the lava while just climbing?
I feel like this video was recorded at 5 am aswell
Isn’t every spulunky run trapped under ground ? Egg Vinki?
80 episodes and this man still hasn't learned that laying a bomb on the ground below 2 layers of blocks will not destroy both blocks. I'll never get tired of the reactions though.
NL, do u ever think coffee tastes like baked beans?
Has anyone ever tried using uncooked beans to make coffee
@@Dragonemperess Agua di bean
Knock, knock
Who’s there?

Hike who?
I didn’t know you liked Japanese poetry!
So everyone has their own opinion on the whole volcana vs jungle thing... I just wanna chime in as someone who watches the videos but doesn't play the game. Regardless of which path is better, I think it's more _entertaining_ to watch runs that go through volcana.
It moves quicker and seems to be less about getting enough money and rescuing children of the forest, and more about just surviving.
I do appreciate that he goes to both, though. Even if deciding where to go before the run even starts seems somewhat questionable. :D
Making jokes bout star wars or marvel fans is punching up Isek Babby
algo bump
Who is Al goreithm and why are there so many comments about him?
Hey NL, you should be aware that saccing a live Hired Hand gives the same amount of favor from Kali that saccing Monty does :) Love the videos
This is untrue, Monty gives 8 favor while hired hand gives 6. Both give half that if dead.
i pog at 6am. i didnt wake up early.
