This is both an update and an expansion to my first Spelunky 101 which is now COMPLETELY OBSOLETE and you should NEVER WATCH AGAIN!!! ( You can watch it again anytime, it's right here: ruclips.net/video/uLd6qymFnYQ/видео.html )
Israel Blargh! This video is awesome man 😂 please keep the humerous tips comin... still haven’t beaten the game and I gotta get good before spelunky 2!
Asain_ Kidevil get an idol then sacrifice it to kali then sell the monkey to the shopkeeper then he will give you a bag then sacrifice it then you can ransack their pockets
@@ooperblownup Almost every Spelunky master with a bunch of successful runs under their belt will tell you that learning to rob shops and get away with it is a much better strategy in the long run than being a completely honest customer, simply because more money not spent buyng things = higher score at the end of the run. Thus, Blargh treats reaching the third world, the ice caves, without having incurred the wrath of a single shopkeeper as an utterly lunatic course of action. Which it is! You should ALWAYS rob shopkeepers blind, especially when they sell bombs, ropes, guns or jetpacks.
All of you, get down to the Spelunky 2 forums AT ONCE. There are a bunch of unenlightened troglodytes over there who think that NOT slaughtering every Shopkeeper you see is an option - a *viable* option! *HERESY!*
A few additions to the video: 1). 1:35 the method will also work without sticky bombs for those who doesn't know. 2). Shopkeepers are able to glitch due to cobra's spits, snail's bubbles or sometimes even tiki trap's stabs and person who got that kind of amnesia won't be hostile to you until you touch him. Because of that, they can forget about you if you only STOLE any of their items (but never killed or shot from the shotgun even once) and stop attacking you AT ALL, but some conditions have to be met in order to work. There is a consistent method that you have to Google yourself! 3). Hyperarmour happens when they get hit IMMEDIATELY AFTER recieving some extremely light damage that they didn't even feel (for example thrown rock at the face, these terminators duh). 4). In co-op if any of your idiotic friends somehow died you can ask them to use their ghost to peacefully steal his shotgun without making him angry, one ghostly breath will do it and he is completely disarmed. You can even make him leave his shop that way without pissing him off! You can use that to disarm/calm down/what not anywhere, not only in shops. That's it. This video is a blast. Only wonder how many shopkeepers were killed in the production of this video.
This editing is incredible. You got more than one audible laugh out of me with this one. I've been using your bomb-jump method, with mostly successful results. I'm still amazed at how brazenly you thwart their attacks, though.
13:30 This is the preferred method for speedrunning BUT we drop the bomb from the entrance platform instead of going down, just jump if your bombs are sticky or drop it close to the ledge and let it slide if they are not, it's the safest way to handle the black market.
You forget about "super secret shopkeeper killing technique"! On jungle levels, if you manage to get shopkeeper devoured by mantrap you can destroy mantrap, before shopkeeper get out from it, then the shopkeeper will be gone with it and you even don't gain wanted levels!
At 2:16 after I heard the words "Strip down to your undies" I imagined the next line would go in a completely different direction. I'm really happy it didn't though.
This video was chock full of good tips!! Another trick you can do is a variant of the bomb jump trick: If the shop is selling a present at the spot closest to the shop entrance, you can whip and jump at the same time to open the present instead of throwing a bomb!
By all looks of it, Paco seems to enjoy the 4-finger discount... Your first Spelunky 101 tutorial for shopkeepers is what got me practicing on massive shopkeeper killing and ultimately allowed me to beat the game. So thank you!
I once killed an angry shopkeeper in the ice caves by attaching a bomb to the side of a falling platform then sending it down for an explosive surprise
Lol idk why i still play this game i think cus at my school this is literally the only game that isnt blocked but i play spelunky *classic*, some tips people give do not work here but some are useful thankyou still!
i don't know if anybody knew this but: If you knock the shopkeeper in spelunky classic without robbing or killing him, only taking his shotgun, you won't aggro any shopkeepers and you'll have a free shotgun, i just did that lol.
I just started playing Spelunky a few days ago. I am very glad that someone has so eloquently put to words the degree to which the shopkeepers are mongrels who deserve nothing but cruel death. Your video has delighted me in the wake of the inhuman slavers blowing my ass to Mars hundreds of times. Thank you.
you really dont need the rope for the rope bomb method just jump with the item as the shopkeeper is still moving and he'll move to the edge of the shop. its what I do and imo the ease and low cost makes it the best
Most important tip is to jump and shoot at the same time everytime so that if their hyper armour kicks in you will just dodge their shot and can keep going.
This is my first time commenting but you got me into serious Spelunking. I had a first love after the first eggplant run from Bananasorus Rex, but your custom levels taught me a lot. I got into mossrankings, and after some good times, I completed a run in some categories. I thought I had seen a familiar face in the ladder and it was you. I finally got some places above you but wouldn't be there without you. Thanks again for your infectious enthusiasm and keep Spelunking!
There is also a shopkeeper forgiveness mechanic: if you anger the shopkeeper without killing him, subsequent levels will give you a chance to be forgiven if the shopkeeper is killed before being aggroed.
Ive recently become addicted to Spelunky and just got my first ever Olmec win a couple days ago, and my second yesterday! So these Spelunky 101 videos have been a huge help, and hilarious, thank you. P.S. Attaching a sticky to a corpse and pushing it down to the Ahnk keeper is genius.
During the jungle levels, a man eater might swallow a bearded moron when he’s angered. This won’t kill them, but it will make them forget your previous crimes, making him and his pals completely oblivious to your murderous intentions if left alone when entering the next level. Use this to rob their shops with zero risk or end them in the most humiliating manner.
The rope lure+bomb strat is the most fun thing to do in this game, thank you for that Also bomb cooking to kill the tunnel shopkeep makes me feel like a *gamer*
This brings back many memories... I first found your channel through spelunky 101 back in the day and just saw this now... I wish RUclips had recommended this to me earlier
You can do the rope bomb lure without the rope by taking the item at the edge of the shop and jumping at the edge of the shop while the shop keeper is still walking towards you
Yes, i have a good kill strat, push a moving tile toward him to a wall and do not jump otherwise he goes behind you, but he will eventually be crushed if pushed to a wall
For the black market ankh bomb, I only use one bomb. All you have to do is throw the bomb at the large plank on the ladder and the bomb will most often land on him or just explode on him if you don’t have stickies
It's interesting to see you grow as youtuber, seeing you redo this. The spelunky 101 has been my favourite of the things you did, and. Well. This compared to the old one is somehow superior. You have toned down on the profanity, but not the occasional evilness, which makes the shopkeeper contacts so entertaining. I don't watch most of your videos, only when something seems particularly interesting or when i feel like it, so i'm not sure if you have said it already. But. Do you plan on doing the other spelunky 101 episodes too?
I don't feel like the others need a remake. There are a few "advanced tactics" I didn't know about when I made the first one, but there aren't enough to make a whole video about. The profanity is toned down because it made me cringe when I listened to my or other people's gameplay videos, so I made an effort to stop it...
@@ElBlargho Man, I probably have well over a thousand hours into Spelunky and I didn't know you could hit the shopkeeper through the diag box, the jump and bomb trick (I usually do the wall whip). web gun, but I never touch that thing; putting a bomb on a dead keeper for the ankh room. On top of that, your writing is eloquent as hell, (you should write a book) and your love for the game bleeds out from every frame. Top notch stuff. I also asked my GF if you might be from PERU? I had a roommate from there and you sound just like him. I know the saying is overused but you do deserve more subs, tough trucking on these streets. I look at you and I'm like if this guy has 20k subs, how does anyone break through in gaming channels these days? Thank you for quality entertainment.
It the classic version if you do the whip and jump method and take everything (importantly their shotgun) and then keep them alive, they wont have an exit guard at the end of each level. This also works wonder at the black market because every shop becomes a free store, but you only have one angry shop keeper who is hopefully disarmed.
So Israel I know you're always desperate to see a shopkeeper explode and we both prefer the same method of bomb jumping. But there's a minor issue, most of the time when you use this technique you'll simply have to shoot him dead instead of watching him splatter on the walls. This isn't good enough. But If you stand a bit more forward and go inbetween the 3rd and 4th product when you rob him he'll land at your foot then if you throw him backtowards his little hidey hole then he'll get up, eyes fixed on you, the bomb will detonate the moment he walks on it.
i find that is the shop is in the ice caves and there is a clear path to the abyss you can grab an item and run and jump out on to a higher ledge and he will run in to a bottomless pit and you are free to loot.
I love that the central thesis of your vids is to give up morality for the sake of your sanity and kill or sacrifice all that you find to the dark goddess
You can also put up a rope and toss a bomb near a shop entrance to vandalize his store and piss him off, then get him stuck so you can blow him up easy. I did it in spelunky classic, and it worked, so it HAS to work on spelunky HD.
as a fairly amateur spelunky player that adopted this mentality of shopkeeper murder... for some reason, i make it through the black market with aggro'd shopkeepers pretty easily, multiple times

Can you make a video on how to kill ol bitey so that she can die
😂😂yo u good?
The mine way to kill the shopkeeper is way to esay for me
Gotta remember to "ransack their pockets" for bonus points!
*Recommended activity*
How do you do that

ARE YOU A SHOPKEEPER? IF SO THEN YES
IF NOT PLZ NO HAUNTING
DO NOT WORRY KALI WILL REVIVE YOU FOR SACRIFICING THESE OLD ASS MEN

I’ve pinged the Spelunky Discord to get this added to Rules and Resources along with the rest of your Spelunky 101 videos that were already there ^w^
cool, I didn't know that!
The update I never knew I wanted, but am so glad to have. Your editing skills are much improved.
YOOO RIGHT WHEN I START GETTING INTO SPELUNKY 101 I REALIZED IT WAS AN OLD SERIES AND A NEW ONE POPS UP YOOOOO
Same
With footage and a few hours of practice, I learned how to get the most out of hired help. Thanks man!
I admire your passion and continued loyalty to Spelunky comrade. Never stop lunking
You forget about "super secret shopkeeper killing technique"! On jungle levels, if you manage to get shopkeeper devoured by mantrap you can destroy mantrap, before shopkeeper get out from it, then the shopkeeper will be gone with it and you even don't gain wanted levels!
I'm horrified at the idea that Shopkeepers will become slightly smarter in Spelunky 2.
No worries astronaut. Shopkeeper never went to school.
At 2:16 after I heard the words "Strip down to your undies" I imagined the next line would go in a completely different direction.
I'm really happy it didn't though.
Me too
4:29 this move is too imprecise shopkeeper runs away with my car and is now in florida

I once killed an angry shopkeeper in the ice caves by attaching a bomb to the side of a falling platform then sending it down for an explosive surprise
Although I no longer play spelunky, I’m still very happy to see the new shopkeeper 101 video
I hope that you will be able to bathe in shopkeeper's blood in Spelunky 2 with all that liquid physics...
also impale them with the crossbow :)
Nothing would make me happier than an ACTUAL POOL of shopkeeper blood to bathe in...
The first time I hit the shopkeeper and he started chasing me I was laughing my ass off
Damn, nice editing, dude! I bet this is gonna help a ton of people
It did

This deserves more than 4 million views. If only spelunky was more popular
101 r back. i cant believe it
Searching "The art of killing shopkeepers in spelunky" always works.
i watched the intro of this video frame by frame and now i cant unsee the black bars around the "101" as it comes uncovered by the darkness
This is so good! This made me laugh so hard but the knowledge is really useful!
And don't forget to always sacrifice their corpses to Kali its a good method to keep damsels alive

The bomb jump has always been my method of choice, because I too like watching shopkeepers explode
Only pros rope an UFO, grab it before it explodes and then toss it to the shopkeeper
True madness!

Spelunky 101...
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a longass time.
1:50 I was hoping my method was on the list and there it is! 😁
after 10000 years finally another speluny 101
Thanks Israel, I've had some trouble in the black market lately and these tips should help me in my greedy endeavours.
Those damn shopkeepers will pay for all their organized crime!
I’m loving this new look as much as I love sacrificial rituals to Kali
The rope lure+bomb strat is the most fun thing to do in this game, thank you for that
Also bomb cooking to kill the tunnel shopkeep makes me feel like a *gamer*
I recently rebought the game on steam since Spelunky was taken off xbox gamepass, thanks for even more tutorials! You've helped me along the way.
I've wasted years gambling a good run with the "item juke". The 4th method is a godsend!

#5 may be difficult depending on the terrain outside the shop, but I figured that one out for myself goddamnit and I'm going to use it.

Thanks for the info
Bruh why you forget about the krisknife that instakills shopkeeps
when u accidentally hit the whip button next to a shop keeper its all over
(Accidentally presses the Bomb key in a shop or throws a bomb in a shop, accidentally of course)
Shopkeeper: die even though it was an accident
i find that is the shop is in the ice caves and there is a clear path to the abyss you can grab an item and run and jump out on to a higher ledge and he will run in to a bottomless pit and you are free to loot.
My childhood game
I love that the central thesis of your vids is to give up morality for the sake of your sanity and kill or sacrifice all that you find to the dark goddess
