You gotta love when you watch these videos, and you ask yourself "How could he fail in 10 seconds?" Then you remember he is NorthernLion playing Spelunky.
Northelion, heres a tip, DEAD CORPSES CAN BE SACRIFICED, Mounty is dead? Try and sacrifice him, You angered the shopkeeper and he died? sacrifice him, Killed a caveman? sacrifice him this way you can get items, and some hearts.
I love how NL always attracts his deadly fate. NL: 'I have 5 HP, how could I possibly die?' Me: 'Well, falling into spikes would be an instant kill.' *NL falls into spikes and dies*
he likes collecting treasure instead of just gaining skill at killing and avoiding shopkeepers. . he doesnt even use his large stack of bombs to remotely kill the shopkeeper. climbing gloves + jet pack = almost impervious to shopkeepers if you're smart. you can just make a path vertically above the exit and throw bombs down or run for the door .
One protip: Try sacrificing 2 (alive) damsels. You'll get a free item and the Kappala, which is worth a hundred damsels, because then you can gain health by slaying enemies and collecting their blood.
Even though I'm going to get married and was born in April, I will still be a fan of yours, Northernlion. Also I just started playing the original Spelunky so I feel your pain about quick, unexpected deaths.
Hey Northernlion. A Teleporter can teleport you INTO the Icecaves Head, thus giving you ankh AND Hedget AND all health you collected until then! REALLY make use of any teleporters you encounter. Also, if you teleport into a shopkeeper, they get killed,but dont blame it on you. You can empty their shop and noone will be mad.
Gotta say I like the fact that NL is more focused on no so much that he made an error or anything like that but rather he had fun or not which in all honesty how it should be. Its more entertaining if its a fun run rather than "Oh hey I can do everything with a single bomb watch me beat the game without getting hit once" run. Thats nice every so often but I enjoy the more laid back random nonsense that NL pulls off that makes me laugh my ass off.
Ryan, PLEASE take the crystal skull if it's right next to the exit, you dodged the ghost before as well and that skull ALONE could finance your jetpack and another item.
Hey NL, you hear about Team Meat's new game Mew-genics? Ed said its "a game about cats…kinda... is by far the strangest project I’ve ever worked on…and that’s saying something." He also said that it's going to be randomly generated, strange and involve cats
Northernlion Plays: Spelunky! [Episode 1089] "Hey, did you guys realize that the episode I beat Hell was number 666? Cool, right? I just noticed that."
Am I the only one that only watches this for his commentary and not how well he does?..... I understand that he's not taking advice which is pretty douche-y but I still enjoy every video just as much even though he's not great at this game.
i wonder how many more episodes it will take until he finally gives it a try. by now we're beyond lead-time as explanation ;) Hey michaelalfox, PLEASE tell NL the truth about how awesome sacrificing monti is.
Northernlion, you're not bad at this game. You're an excellent platformer and you have a knowledge of most of the game's mechanics. But if you don't slow down you will NEVER make it to hell! EVER!
northernlion if u sacrifice 2 montys u get a kapala which gives u hearts from collecting the enemies blood after u kill them... thumbs up so he can see
24:18 my god that gasp, I thought something was actually wrong with NL for a second then I came back and saw that that it was just him falling on spikes Dx

NL - If you have the cape you can float down onto spikes and it negates their effect, very usefull for the jungle vine parts!
Oh man, that death though. Jeez, it almost brought tears to my eyes.
Ikr
I am from the future spelunky 2 is out
You gotta love when you watch these videos, and you ask yourself "How could he fail in 10 seconds?" Then you remember he is NorthernLion playing Spelunky.
It's awesome that u watch a series that's 80 episodes through

Let;s be more accurate: Northernlion Plays: Spelunky! [Episode 320]
NL: Okay, we've made it to the ice caves, good progress
I loved that gasp at the end
Between all of NL's and Mike's videos, that has got to be the most casual death ever
the snake didn't spit at him, but it activated the arrow trap that was located right next to the shop
I heard they're updating the game so that on levels with altars, Monty will automatically sacrifice himself.
Orange frogs turn blue when they fall into water, not the other way around. FYI.
Each lvl kind of has bosses in spelunky
Mines : Grandfather spiders
Hungle : Queen Bee
Ice Cave : The Big Yet
Temple : Mummys
Hell : Succubus/vlad
"That gasp... that gasp that I made" ~ The Northernlion Story
Please don't complain, my favorite series are Isaac 101, FTL, and the videos where he goes back and watches himself and I don't complain
"It's becoming not funny anymore how far behind I am falling in the Spelunky arms race."
Not true, man. I find it absolutely hilarious.
he likes collecting treasure instead of just gaining skill at killing and avoiding shopkeepers.

he doesnt even use his large stack of bombs to remotely kill the shopkeeper. climbing gloves + jet pack = almost impervious to shopkeepers if you're smart.

that shopkeaper on the end of the level wasnt angry, he was calm
Rofl, that gasp, then pause, was priceless!
Kills Shopkeeper, Uses bomb to get gems. - The NorthernLion Story
Ryan, PLEASE take the crystal skull if it's right next to the exit, you dodged the ghost before as well and that skull ALONE could finance your jetpack and another item.
70 episodes and a ragequit... and he never learned to sacrifice every monty possible :(
R.I.P. Nothernlion plays Spelunky.
Ryan i cant get passed the mines be glad for how far u've gotten
"I don't see any beeping" - The Northernlion Story
OFTEN GO AWRY. The best laid plans of mice and men OFTEN GO AWRY.
That sound when he died was priceless ^^. Too bad it was such a good run.
enjoyed the episode but that ending caught all of us off guard i had to grab a pillow and scream
WOAH! You're the dude who made those plasmids! :D Dude I really needed those for the underground rapture! Thanks!
He's been to the worm level already and unlocked Super meat boy character.
This is the third time I've watched this video, NL. Please, I beg you, play more Spelunky!
"The shopkeeper fell on the spikes like a f---ing idiot".... Is that what karma looks like?
If you have the cape, you can float down on spikes
NL should capitalize on his strong points and name this series "100 ways to die in Spelunky"
"all is forgiven!" *falls onto spikes 10 seconds later* I GUESS NOT! hahaha
Northernlion, you murdered a shopkeeper, no point in using bombs to mine gems.
Hey NL, you hear about Team Meat's new game Mew-genics? Ed said its "a game about cats…kinda... is by far the strangest project I’ve ever worked on…and that’s saying something." He also said that it's going to be randomly generated, strange and involve cats
Actually that was surprisingly well played. With one unfortunate exception... The Spelunky Story.
Northernlion Plays: Spelunky! [Episode 320]
NL: OK, we've made it to hell for the first time, good progress.
Cool, happy Birthday man! :D
Northernlion Plays: Spelunky! [Episode 1089]
"Hey, did you guys realize that the episode I beat Hell was number 666? Cool, right? I just noticed that."
has anyone noticed that every episode in the past few weeks has been between 25 and 30 minutes?
1. if you whip the circles they will dissipate
2. SACRIFICE THE DAMNSEL ON THE ALTER and get the damn bloodcup thing
3:35 yes spelunky 2 announced xd
"I didn't do anything wrong!" - The Northernlion story.
I just bought Spelunky on Xbox360, Thank you Northernlion :)
The end is awesome, that gasp :D
Ending was awesome
Don't worry Northernlion, you'll get there!
XDDDDDD me and NL Said "....Nuts." in perfect unison. Times like this make me glad i subbed to NL
keep it up northernlion you will do it one day
god i just love that double dash referrence ._.
That gasp he made was so amazing xD
Am I the only one that only watches this for his commentary and not how well he does?..... I understand that he's not taking advice which is pretty douche-y but I still enjoy every video just as much even though he's not great at this game.
I think that is given because Spelunky doesn't care about it's players, so the mentality of not caring about Spelunky comes naturally.
holy shit NL mario kart double dash reference and possibly the best ending ever.
if you use the cape you can float down to spikes and not die
A++ ending would watch again.
If you watched his previous videos, he has already unlocked SMB.
Where in the heck are the spelunky videos?! I want to see some more.
WTF NORTHERNLION!!!! its been almost a month this is my favorite series on your channel!!! :(
Yes, getting a golf club through your face kind of does that.
A cookie for those who get the reference!
He has done 3 Co-op videos with michealAlFox, i think its called "Northernlion And Friends"
i wonder how many more episodes it will take until he finally gives it a try. by now we're beyond lead-time as explanation ;)
Hey michaelalfox, PLEASE tell NL the truth about how awesome sacrificing monti is.
Northernlion, you're not bad at this game. You're an excellent platformer and you have a knowledge of most of the game's mechanics. But if you don't slow down you will NEVER make it to hell! EVER!
I'm born in April and this video has my seal of approvement.
"100 ways to die in Spelunky, and 101 ways to blame the game for this"
right on time YES
Scrolls across the video: mines, mines, mines, oh shit dark level, mines, mines, jungle, jungle... The end.
It startled me!
If this Let's Play keeps progressing like this, he won't be able to even start the game in two weeks
NL, you should start sacrificing monty more so that you can get the kapala. It takes 2 monties to get and is way better than just 2 hearts.
That unexpected death was exquisite.
You'll pay for your crime.
My Northernlion Story.
*Why am I gasping?*
"OH GOD I AM DEAD!!!"
30 in Old Spelunky (old PC Ver.) 15 in new spelunky (XBLA Version.)
Give NL a break. He was moving and needed to reset his Xbox recording system. Spelunky has continued.
You should start the video with the current date so that we know the backlog of the videos.
He can't play Spelunky now, because he is traveling places and haven't had time to connect in his X-Box to play Spelunky.
Quoting from a genius: "When NL gets to hell, it will just be another Ice level".
hes gotten this already
God that gasp...I lost it for like ten minutes
Kali relates to Spelunky as the Devil to Isaac.
I wish that instead of just not uploading any videos without saying anything, he could just say i'm stopping the series, or i'm taking a break.
northernlion if u sacrifice 2 montys u get a kapala which gives u hearts from collecting the enemies blood after u kill them... thumbs up so he can see
His explanation for dat gasp made me laugh so hard.
i think he doesn't like using kapala but i could be mistaken, he has used it before.
so you hear blinking and see beeping? ain't it the other way around?
24:18 my god that gasp, I thought something was actually wrong with NL for a second then I came back and saw that that it was just him falling on spikes Dx
NL it is when yellow frogs go into water and turns into blue not blue into yellow fyi.
Holy crap that is a useful tip. Thanks.
Northernlion you blasted snake charmer! You shall pay for your crimes!
Dat gasp at the end.
I was born in April, and I found 2:52 absolutely hilarious....
