I'm aware, yes. I usually render as .mp4 but unfortunately this has started causing catastrophic rendering crashes on any video past 40 minutes in length. So, I rendered this one as .wmv and I'm still working on a better solution!
I feel like NL's commentary with this series continues to get better. I'm glad I started watching this from episode 1. It's been entertaining and has convinced me to buy this game and try it out myself. Thanks, NL!
NL, you can only unlock the robot in the mothership level. And the favor system gives you an item at 8 points, the Kapala at 16 points, the health at 32(?) points and after that somewhen a jetpack (and if you have one, you get 99 bombs). A living damsel is worth 8 points.
For the record, if you drop the damsel/dog on the gooey worm tongue thing, it still counts as getting it to the exit. I noticed that when you accidentally let it happen a few videos ago: the dog still showed up after you completed the level and gave you the heart. I guess it's the same as how if you put the dog in one door then leave by a different one, it still counts.
putting the dog in the worm thing still gives you the extra life. its actually easier to just feed the dog to the worm than carrying him through to the end.
It's no problem, I anyways watch these videos for your hilarious commentary, so a little pixel here and there doesn't matter to me. :) Cheers from Hungary
actually you can stick the dog to the orange ball thingy and let the worm eat it, it's still going to get you the extra health at the end of the level. i find this to be a very useful trick on the jungle / ice caves since it makes rescuing the dog much much easier.
I stopped the video at 19:02 and you can see NL take damage with a full kali then he catches his own blood back giving him another heart but he stays at 5 cause it was instant. I'm new to spelunky and haven't combed the wiki yet so I don't know how everything works. Anyway I thought that was awesome. such great detail. Love this game!!
NL: You are correct that you can't throw the boomerang "straight" up, but you can arc it upwards to hit things above you. You don't have to just throw it straight ahead of you.
Stunned damsels always give 8 favor when sacrificed on an altar. 8 favor gives you an item, and 16 gives you the Kapala. So, 2 damsels should always be enough to get the Kapala. Also, after you get the Kapala, every 16 favor gives you 4-8 hp.
Ryan, do you and the Spelunky folks (Fox, RPG, Baer and so on) know about Shotgun and Mattock jump? Just some really useful tricks you possibly don't know about. Shooting with the shotgun and jumping at the same time lets you jump a whole square higher, whereas using and jumping with the Mattock at the same time let's you break squares above you.
NL gets so lucky in Spelunky it's unbelievable. If I had the runs he's having it'd be a cakewalk. And then when I see that he isn't doing the best that he could be doing I think "oh I know, I'll leave some tips so I can see him do better" but I'm 69% positive that he won't see the comment and people will think I'm some Spelunky pro asshole when I just want to help
What I meant was it's the same formula in each video, and without the wide variety of events that happen often, like in Issaac (With the items and enemies etc) it would be nice to see a change of scenery.
A few tips for the temple level which would of helped a lot with your bomb situation would be to jump on the mummies head with your spike shoes rather than use bombs (that is if the situation permits it), they take a few jumps but i find it is the easiest way to get rid of them. For Anubis 1 and 2, once you line up your bombs if you have a pitchers mitt and sticky paste, throw 2 instantly and they will kill him rather than throwing one then throwing a second, it saves you on bombs. Good luck :)
Actually, feeding the dog to the worm when you're not going to the worm level is a great idea. It counts as getting him to the exit so you don't have to keep carrying him around.
NL, you don't actually get any blood by stomping on those enemies unless you go and chase the drops down. It's better to just whip them because you collect way more blood that way.
Ryan, you have no idea how happy I am that you've decided to pick up Spelubky again and even got to hell! Congrats and keep it up. Your Spelunky vids are always entertaining ;)
You could have watched the last episode and found out. He says right at the beginning that there was a chance that the episode where he got to hell was lost. He managed to recover it and here it is.
NL, on the yama boss fight next time jump and throw a bomb at each of the mobs that spawn that the start. That way, the bombs don't blow up the floor and you don't lose them. You then have 24 bombs to throw at yama's hands and head whilst doing it under refuge (To prevent skulls from hitting you)
I think he's trying to say the run is long and ultimately lost, rather than it has been lost for a long time and it finally found its way to the TH-cam light.
NL, you are probably aware of this but after you get the kapala, if you keep sacrificing at the alter youll eventually get 8 more hp. Neat lil trick. All those caveman in the jungle could have worked toward that goal. Just dont get the 8 hp BEFORE you suicide otherwise, well, you get it.
I believe he added the comma to say that it was a long, lost run which referred to something special but the video suggests it was a Long run that was lost
If you are willing to go down to 720p you can switch to Bandicam instead of fraps as it will render while you record (and not take up any more CPU power than fraps doing it) 720p is still HD so my eyes can't tell the difference.
Notice that he said "The Long, Lost Run" There's a comma in there. Sure, there's not much... but that's what he meant. But yeah, putting that comma there doesn't change very much.
In the PC version, there was a special room that would be unlocked when you saved 8 damsels in one playthrough. You could switch bodies with a damsel and play as her
Jeez... when you were doing that whole bombing thing on the Olmec fight I was seriously flinching everytime you went back to put another bomb down, you scumbag x.x
He is done with Rogue Legacy for now. He did NG on TH-cam, and streamed a race of NG+ on twitch. He is probably just mad because NG++ is where is get slightly difficult. Though I am on NG+7 and have no probably with my fully maxed out castle.
Hey, NL I know you don't do challenge runs on spelunky, but I have one. Remember how you had so much trouble unlocking the temple shortcut? well I want you to do that again. But I want to see if you have gotten better and can do this in one run. Since you are going through spelunky puberty. So, recap Get the golden key to the first level of the temple. If you loose the key or die once its over. Have fun!
i think it's almost a better idea to not buy the spike shoes if you have the kapala already. with any stunnable enemies (like tiki men or yeti guys) you can really abuse this to get more health by just goomba stomping them until they die (which gives you like 4 opportunities to collect blood). like this, i got myself to 15 health in no time yesterday. (shortly afterwards i fell down in the ice caves and died regardless -_-)
I used to get angry at northernlion whenever he fucked something up. then I played the game. and holy shit it's hard. Now, seeing him have runs like this, I feel even more respect for how he plays.
people constantly tell ryan when he misses something in the Binding of Isaac, so jokingly, Chukey started a chain of Isaac references. 360 *and later you* were talking seriously about the BoI.
NL, I'd like you to know that I managed to do a hell run after only 7 hours of playing, only using knowledge gained from your videos! Also, I'd like to ask if you are going to make a "Let's look at" of the game called "Starbound"?
wouldn't putting Monty on the orange sticky ball and getting eaten count as taking him to the exit? If so you wouldn't have to carry him all the way to the bottom exit. (I think you did this once accidentally)
I don't think he's ready for any sort of challenge runs on this game in particular. He's definitely getting there but at this point throwing any challenges at him will guarantee failure. Perhaps we'll see some challenge runs in the future.
Let me guess Ryan, you use Sony Vegas, to render your videos. If you use codecs which TH-cam "likes", it should have no artifacts when uploaded, also it shouldn't crash. But that's the thing I can't be sure about.
First room in hell, you can get a red amulet make you immune to lava. Those horse face and cow head man at final boss fight , could give you 12 bomb each, you may swim in lava to get those bomb only you get red amulet first.

*NL sees orange frog*
"There is the green frog."
Me: What.
I'm aware, yes. I usually render as .mp4 but unfortunately this has started causing catastrophic rendering crashes on any video past 40 minutes in length. So, I rendered this one as .wmv and I'm still working on a better solution!
"Can I destroy this Puffin for blood? No? Well, maybe if I had a machete or something."
That was the single most tragic thing I've ever heard....
I feel like NL's commentary with this series continues to get better. I'm glad I started watching this from episode 1. It's been entertaining and has convinced me to buy this game and try it out myself. Thanks, NL!
I absolutely love the background music on the "wet fur" level. It's one of my favorite levels for that reason.
Omg old NL sound so different
More or less. Still some weird video artifacting but at least the render didn't fail at 99% like it did the first five times. Hope it's watchable!
The first spelunkey run that I watch after a months break and you manage to get to yama! Gratz
That was awesome good job NL!
Amazing progress in this run! Don't stop playing this game, NL!
"OH MY GOD! THOSE HORNY DUDES CAN BREAK BLOCKS!" -NL 2K13

Congrats NL! =D
Been watching this series from Episode one waiting for this moment.
putting the dog in the worm thing still gives you the extra life. its actually easier to just feed the dog to the worm than carrying him through to the end.

this was in my recommended
probably because of the second one just releasing

Hey NL! i just got my wisdom teeth out a few hours ago and just wanted to say thanks for being entertaining, it certainly takes my mind off of it.
I love how you can notice that he's sooo nervous during the Hell stages, haha. Much faster talking and much more random.
NL, on the yama boss fight next time jump and throw a bomb at each of the mobs that spawn that the start. That way, the bombs don't blow up the floor and you don't lose them. You then have 24 bombs to throw at yama's hands and head whilst doing it under refuge (To prevent skulls from hitting you)

Let the odds be never in your favor, and let the Spelunky games begin!

Damn... this was an awesome run. Good job dude.
Northernlion, you can throw Monty on the sticky stuff when you dont want to carry him to the exit and get the health

I'm liking the outro music NL ^.^ GG!
If you are willing to go down to 720p you can switch to Bandicam instead of fraps as it will render while you record (and not take up any more CPU power than fraps doing it)
720p is still HD so my eyes can't tell the difference.
There's a reason why this is the long lost episode. He knows how to unlock the robot.
Notice that he said "The Long, Lost Run" There's a comma in there. Sure, there's not much... but that's what he meant. But yeah, putting that comma there doesn't change very much.
In the PC version, there was a special room that would be unlocked when you saved 8 damsels in one playthrough. You could switch bodies with a damsel and play as her
If you leave the dog in the sticky orange stuff the worm will take it and you'll still get health. It's just like taking it to the exit
Jeez... when you were doing that whole bombing thing on the Olmec fight I was seriously flinching everytime you went back to put another bomb down, you scumbag x.x
He is done with Rogue Legacy for now. He did NG on TH-cam, and streamed a race of NG+ on twitch. He is probably just mad because NG++ is where is get slightly difficult. Though I am on NG+7 and have no probably with my fully maxed out castle.
He put a comma in between Long and lost, so it's like, it was a long run, that he lost. But the positioning of it in the line made it hard to notice.
i like the outro, tell kate she did a good job
Anything you throw straight up becomes a boomerang, so it would theoretically work to throw the boomerang upwards!
Man there are NL episodes of spelunky i watch and see he does good and just wish he had been doing the daily challenge...
You missed an heir assassination attempt on a shot speed up wearing a tinted rock that doesn't buy engine upgrades while only using the hokage class.
Digging that new ending
Hey, NL I know you don't do challenge runs on spelunky, but I have one. Remember how you had so much trouble unlocking the temple shortcut? well I want you to do that again. But I want to see if you have gotten better and can do this in one run. Since you are going through spelunky puberty. So, recap
Get the golden key to the first level of the temple. If you loose the key or die once its over.
Have fun!
i think the ping that you were questioning was just a pot breaking sound. i heard it too though.
"I am becoming a Spelunky man!" *Gets taken down by an arrow trap*
May not be the best gameplay, but it sure is funny xD
i think it's almost a better idea to not buy the spike shoes if you have the kapala already. with any stunnable enemies (like tiki men or yeti guys) you can really abuse this to get more health by just goomba stomping them until they die (which gives you like 4 opportunities to collect blood). like this, i got myself to 15 health in no time yesterday. (shortly afterwards i fell down in the ice caves and died regardless -_-)
I love this commentary "I'm not longer a spelunky boy ....I am a spelunky man *facechecks arrow trap*.
The cape with the spring shoes makes it so that you can't get the blood :D
NL you can put dog an this thing that takes you to the worm, even if you won't go to the worm level you'll still get the health.
That last crate had every item in the game in it.
The added comma means that he's saying that the run was long and lost, but without a comma it means that the run has been lost for a long time.
NL, there's no volume discount for a bomb-box. It's the same price per bomb as a bomb bag.
I used to get angry at northernlion whenever he fucked something up. then I played the game. and holy shit it's hard. Now, seeing him have runs like this, I feel even more respect for how he plays.
That was one hell of a run.
At 11:30, there is a slight editing before he says "I don't think so.."
GJ on the run dude!
42:04 BITCH SLAP awww yeah
That goat and horse dude were gozu and mesu which are the guardians of hell in Japanese mythology.
i love this game
I started singing the terminator 2 theme when I saw this in my feed
Im new to this game. Can you please explain what the items you pick up does briefly. When you pick them up.
NL, rats can be thrown to blow up powder boxes. I do it all the time.
He's talking about the succubi. Nick didn't know what they were called when he was telling NL about it.
can you do a tips and tricks video for speluncky? I suck so bad at this really need to watch more i guess :P
yay NL
33:13 Northernlion taking lessons from Trusty Patches
I think he meant it as a "pause" between the "The Long" and "Lost Run" with the comma he added... But I don't know?
YOUR 1 STEP CLOSER TO BEING THE SPELUNKY CHAMPION AND HOLDING THE LEADER BOARDS
awesome episode, man
people constantly tell ryan when he misses something in the Binding of Isaac, so jokingly, Chukey started a chain of Isaac references. 360 *and later you* were talking seriously about the BoI.
Tonight when I drink, I shall tip my glass to you Northernlion for getting even farther.
26:51 Actually, Anubis is the God of Embalming.
NL, I'd like you to know that I managed to do a hell run after only 7 hours of playing, only using knowledge gained from your videos!
Also, I'd like to ask if you are going to make a "Let's look at" of the game called "Starbound"?
NL did you complete skulls of the shogun. If not please it was great.
If you drain one of the big acid pools on the worm level by throwing a bomb in, you'll find a cool new weapon. :D
using vegas? if so have you tried disabling resampling on the source videos? i had a problem with that and it helped me.
"don't freak out, Don't freak out... OHH I freaked out" The Northernlion story.
wouldn't putting Monty on the orange sticky ball and getting eaten count as taking him to the exit? If so you wouldn't have to carry him all the way to the bottom exit. (I think you did this once accidentally)
he wanted to say that the run is very long, and it was also lost. while the title says it's been lost for a long time.
I don't think he's ready for any sort of challenge runs on this game in particular. He's definitely getting there but at this point throwing any challenges at him will guarantee failure. Perhaps we'll see some challenge runs in the future.
Hey NL if you have the boomerang you can use it to kill the tiny frogs for blood! Keep on truckin'
That was beautiful how you managed to get to Hell and beat Olmec! xD
Yes the livestream was posted on YT too so..
Let me guess Ryan, you use Sony Vegas, to render your videos.
If you use codecs which TH-cam "likes", it should have no artifacts when uploaded, also it shouldn't crash. But that's the thing I can't be sure about.
NL sees orange frog: "THERE IS A GREEN FROG" Okay then.
How would it not make sense to be able to throw a boomerang up? You toss it up, and gravity brings it back to you.
First room in hell, you can get a red amulet make you immune to lava. Those horse face and cow head man at final boss fight , could give you 12 bomb each, you may swim in lava to get those bomb only you get red amulet first.
Probably waiting for a while until most people have played it so he doesn't end up spoiling it or something silly.
