I was stuck on Olmec for weeks, never progressing past world 2 at all.  Death upon death came to me and while I knew I could get a shortcut to the next world, I also knew I&#8217;d have to beat Olmec <i>at least three times<\/i> &#8211; and I couldn&#8217;t defeat him even once!<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward a bit and&#8230;I&#8217;ve done it several times!  Now, that elusive shortcut is locked behind taming some sort of animal <b>AND<\/b> beating Olmec all in one go.  Hmm&#8230;I&#8217;m less confident now.  However, as I approach 500 deaths and witness people speedrunning the game in three minutes, I&#8217;ll have to be happy with this slight progress.  Only then will I be able to tackle the rigors of level 4.  Wish me luck.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/spelunky2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/spelunky2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/spelunky2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/spelunky2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/spelunky2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/spelunky2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/spelunky2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not too proud to admit it.
