Got pretty far today, but couldn't quite make it all the way through Hell.
Spelunky Lesson of the Day: Even though you're likely to come into Hell well-equipped, don't underestimate the danger of stuff like tike traps. You may have invigoration, but a well-placed trap can rapidly knock off 4 HP or more, even possibly knocking you into ball and chain traps or spike pits.
13:48 - This is one of those examples of why you have to be really thorough when searching for the Black Market entrance. Had I not messed with this shop, I likely would've never realized the market was hidden there. Was basically pure luck that I even noticed since the Udjat Eye range is so small.
30:43 - Close call with that explosive UFO there. Nearly ended the run right after Ankh usage, a particularly vulnerable time.
37:16 - Inches away from death, and you can clearly see I would not have reacted in time anyway if it was closer. Once again, best not to mess with croc men at all.
39:26 - Entering the City of Gold with no shotgun is obviously non-ideal (especially since I obtained one fairly easy from the vault dweller in 4-2), but I really wanted to take the opportunity to get invigoration, as I might not have had another chance to do so for this run.
42:43 - Left the City of Gold with plenty of bombs to spare, but since I didn't have a jetpack, saving many bombs for Hell can be a sound strategy.
47:59 - I decided to try to brave Hell once more with Vlad's Cape, because now I felt I had enough experience with this area to make use of it over the generic Cape. (I wouldn't have traded if I had a jetpack, but I didn't so I thought: what the hell?) I decided against also using the Camera (even though I was tempted since it was found so early in Hell) because I figured I had enough on my plate already with trying to use the special cape I was somewhat inexperienced with.
49:54 - Jeez, what a clusterfuck right at the end. Really should've used the shotgun instead of the idol as a weapon, I don't know what I was thinking there, and I damn near ended the run there.
52:34 - What a mistake to die from...
