![[TAS] Spelunky 2 - Pacifist Chain No% Eggplant Abzu in 8:18.400](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iGbkldiLP38/mqdefault.jpg "[TAS] Spelunky 2 - Pacifist Chain No% Eggplant Abzu in 8:18.400
This is a TAS, or tool-assisted speedrun. It was made using tools such as slowdown, frame advance, and savestates, and is not meant to compete with real runs but is solely for entertainment. This category name may not make much sense at first glance, so I will try to make some sense out of it:
- Pacifist: Dont kill anything. This game has built in pacifist mechanics so this isnt just some arbitrary restriction the community made up, you can see the pacifist line on the journal at the end of the run.
- Chain: You must do the intended method of getting to Sunken City instead of doing any funny skips. You are required to pick up the Hedjet/Crown, Ankh, Tablet of Destiny, and bring the Ushabti with Qilin in it to 6-3. The Udjat Eye may optionally be collected.
- No%: This is a combination of a couple of things. Firstly, this is a No Gold subcategory, so you are not allowed to pick up any gold at any point during the run. Secondly, this is also a Low% subcategory, meaning you have the resources and health you start with and nothing else. (i.e. no jetpack, no paste, no bomb bags, no extra health, no riding tamed mounts, no shooting shotguns (though holding one is allowed), etc.) Thirdly, you must finish the run with all of your starting resources (end the run with a 4/4/4 resource count). Since this is also a Chain run, swinging the Excalibur is ONLY allowed on the Abzu level, and taking all 4 damage in 1 frame with the Ankh is also allowed.
- Eggplant: Go to Eggplant World and collect the Eggplant Crown.
- Abzu: You are required to do the chain through the Tide Pool route (you may go to either Volcana or Jungle, whichever one you wish).
About a year ago, I made a TAS of this category on this seed. I was itching to make some sort of TAS, and rewatching that TAS made me want to redo it as there was a ton of room for improvement, so here is what I was able to do. There is still room for improvement, notably 1-4 (by getting better backlayer skip rng), any level with climbing (chains, tide pool poles, etc. as its incredibly difficult to optimize), the levels with scarabs (by getting better rng to have them not be in the way), 7-4 (potentially some faster strat I missed), and many other levels have a couple frames you could still shave off. Either way, Im pretty happy with how much Ive improved the TAS!

This is a TAS, or tool-assisted speedrun. It was made using tools such as slowdown, frame advance, and savestates, and is not meant to compete with real runs but is solely for entertainment. Recently, Tvrobot10 got the Seeded Low% WR with a new seed. On the old seed, we were able to get a TAS that was around 2:13, but I wanted to see if this new seed was better. Turns out, it is! There are likely still some frames you can save on some levels but Im pretty happy with how the result (especially the creative rope usages!)
Category Rules: You are not allowed to have any more items or health besides the starting 4/4/4. Environmental objects are allowed (rocks, pots, and landmines are all okay, for example). Beat the game.

Video quality is a little lower than I wanted, not sure how that happened but this is watchable and I dont feel like fixing it.")

since this run, redrobot has found a way to beat the game with 1 item
*technically not the first completion as i did a run just before this
this route is certainly. . . something, alright. lost two minutes and a half due to dumb stuff happening in the spider webs split and the final split but oh well, timesave for next run :)")
