Pretty decent run, though City of Gold was botched by a frustrating event.
Spelunky Lesson of the Day: Be on the lookout for mammoths in the Ice Caves. Though they are slow and not particularly smart, they can really ruin your day with in an instant kill, especially if you're flying around with a jetpack.
14:03 - That was a hell of a dodge, if you don't mind me saying.
20:45 - I got overzealous with sacrifices in this run, which caused me to get invigoration early. Seems like a good thing, but it's not if you plan to use the Ankh for the Hedjet (which will reset your health to 4 HP no matter what you had). As such, it's generally wise to avoid triggering invigoration until after the Hedjet/Moai, like in the late Ice Caves or early Temple. Since favor is an invisible stat, it can be hard to keep track of your actual amount, which is why I usually stick to damsels and yetis as their favor amounts cleanly divide the various favor requirements for rewards. (e.g. 1 alive damsel for an item, 2 total alive damsels for kapala, and 2 more for invigoration. Yetis are worth precisely half of the damsel favor, and dead sacrifices for everything are worth half of what they'd be alive. So, an easy thing to remember is 1 alive damsel = 4 dead yetis. And since both damsels and yetis are fairly common and often easy to get, they're excellent things to sacrifice when the opportunity arises.)
28:35 - Now this was pretty fucking frustrating. 20 health and one level before the Moai, yet I still managed to accidentally instantly die. And not even to spikes, but a mammoth freeze blast that came out of nowhere!
34:10 - Did I NEED to go to the Mothership? After all, I had a fair amount of bombs. Of course I didn't really feel that I had to, but since I rarely visit it and since CoG / Hell was frustratingly botched, I figured what could a near suicidal run hurt? If I failed, it's not like there was much interesting left anyway, but if I succeeded, then the next few Temple levels would be a change of pace...
35:42 - It seems hilariously inept that one of the laser cannons shot itself off. I suppose they didn't bug test that very well.
