Due to some fortuitous luck in the early part of this run, this one ended up being fairly long and good.
Spelunky Lesson of the Day: While you might see fit to drag out the Olmec fight in order to gain more treasure, beware that it increases the chances of deadly mistakes at the same time.
1:55 - For reference, I consider this shop setup more or less the "perfect" shop. A Freeze Ray to kill the shopkeeper with (easily traded for his Shotgun, if you wish), a Jetpack for maneuverability, Climbing Gloves to enhance the Jetpack and general vertical movement, and a box of 12 bombs to top it off to help dig through terrain.
20:58 - Boy, that was a hell of a chance to have the physics work out just right from that failed shopkeeper bomb. Might have died if that didn't happen.
36:33 - Super close call. Amazed I escaped, especially considering the number of times I didn't in other runs.
36:44 - It is super satisfying to ice Anubis like that. The Freeze Ray is troublesome for its short range, but can be a lot of fun if you're good at handling it.
37:26 - It's interesting to point out that the Sceptre didn't get crushed here. I'm not sure if that's good luck or if it's actually coded not to be crushable so that it can always be recovered. (As you may know, it's one of the few things that can survive lava if you drain it after it sinks.) Never really dared to test out whether the Sceptre definitively can or cannot be crushed.
44:27 - If I felt like it, I technically could've grinded for health from the vomit of the lower mummy here since it was in a position where the vomit could be collected without worry of getting hit by flies. However, since certain hazards are deadly even with 99 HP, it wouldn't really make you invulnerable, and I'd have to dodge the ghost while grinding anyways.
49:42 - Ah, this was a nasty surprise. Olmec triggered just before landing, but it was hard to tell visually, and that's what led to me getting crushed. Easily had enough bombs to get to Hell, but I screwed up.
