Did quite good in this run until running into a snag in the last level before the Temple.
Spelunky Lesson of the Day: One of the hardest parts of a City of Gold / Hell run is immediately after sacrificing the Ankh for the Hedjet. While you retain any worn equipment, you lose your held item and any health bonuses you had. Being weaponless caused me to attempt something suicidal within the game, as a lack of bombs and no shotgun in 3-4 meant Anubis in 4-1 would be significantly harder / dangerously time-consuming to kill.
0:48 - Bit of a random recording snag there. No idea what happened.
5:37 - Of course, extracting blood from enemies over multiple hits instead of one instant kill is valuable, it just comes with the risk of pushing the ghost ever closer while you dawdle. I decided to spend the time since I was low on health and near the exit anyway if I needed to quickly escape.
10:47 - Took quite a bit of puzzling since the entrance wasn't anywhere obvious, but I managed to figure out how to get to it with a single bomb, so that's cool.
20:31 - Nice shot!
22:30 - It was surprising just how long the very useful Cape evaded my grasp in this level.
24:33 - Another very random hiccup.
25:18 - Interestingly enough, UFO laser beams stop ropes in their track. This foiled my plan to take down that UFO with my excessive amount of ropes.
28:39 - VERY close call there. In fact, I'm amazed it wasn't deadly.
