Spelunky Series Completed in 27 Minutes For Charity! (Spelunky Triathlon Speedrun) HectiqueAgain 2025-07-14 | --Spelunky Triathlon Any% Speedrun (27:19.500)The Spelunky Triathlon makes its debut at Games Done Quick! Not only the debut for Spelunky Classic, but the first un-modded run performed of Spelunky 2 as well! While the former didn't go too well for me this time, I managed to blitz through both Spelunky HD and Spelunky 2 and only fall slightly behind estimate.

Spelunkys Incredible Eggplant Run: Pacifist!? HectiqueAgain 2025-07-01 | --Spelunky HD No Gold Max Pacifist Chain Eggplant% World First Completion (33:49.973)Uncommentated video: youtu.be/vBBjTehIyYUFinally completed this long overdue challenge! This category is super unique and combines a massive amount of Spelunky knowledge into one big challenge. It's also *almost* the hardest possible run with items, only missing the Haunted Castle, which I couldn't end up visiting here due to the Black Market spawning on the same level.This run wound up being a little silly at parts, especially the 8 minute Jungle level where 2 Shopkeepers stalled me out of a Bomb Box for an unreasonably long time, along with a Jiangshi squatting the Black Market entrance in a precarious spot. From then on, things went pretty smoothly, and I'm happy with how I played the run! Maybe not that 5-3 though, that was a little scary...Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique
Spelunkys Least Likely Challenge: Max No% Hell! HectiqueAgain 2025-06-24 | --Spelunky HD Max No% Hell World First Completion (19:33.899)Watch the uncommentated run here: youtu.be/rJUp-d_PzrwWhat a cool run to complete! Max No% is a category where you have to complete the Worm and Mothership, but you can't use bombs, ropes, or take any damage (and it's also No Gold). This is really unlikely since it requires a means of entering the Mothership with nothing but Landmines and UFOs to assist you, but I wound up getting a pretty easy setup this time. Lumping bookskip on top of it and defeating Hell isn't particularly easy either, and Hell levels (especially Yama) are notorious for randomly wasting resources, forcing gold, or just outright damaging you (especially Yama)! As a result of this, I was (especially) careful on (Yama) to secure the win.00:00 Mines01:32 Jungle & Worm03:28 Ice Caves04:26 Mothership07:52 Temple10:58 Olmec & Bookskip20:34 Hell26:08 YamaWatch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

Getting Rich While Impoverished in the Spelunky Series! (Low% Wealthy Triathlon) HectiqueAgain 2025-06-18 | --Spelunky Triathlon - Low% Wealthy World First Completion (1:01:22.050)I was joking about the possibility of completing this run since all three games do, in fact, have a Low% money achievement category... But why not, let's make our memes our dreams. Low% Sun Room Unlock ($200,000) wound up being a bit tedious, Low% Big Money ($500,000) was difficult but pretty well played overall, and Low% Millionaire ($1,000,000) wound up being pretty cute with a no-aggro vault robbery in Ice Caves.Overall, pretty funny, but probably not something I'm gonna do again.00:00 Spelunky Classic - Low% Sun Room Unlock11:49 Spelunky HD - Low% Big Money47:13 Spelunky 2 - Low% MillionaireWatch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

Spelunkys Most Brutal Speedrun: Chain Low% Triathlon... HectiqueAgain 2025-06-15 | --Spelunky Triathlon Chain Low% Speedrun World Record (26:04.516)A dream run finally realized! After completing a deathless Chain Low% Triathlon almost 2 years ago, I wanted to push the category much further with a speedrun completion. I managed to do just that with this run, which was remarkably fast in all 3 games, and pretty cleanly played throughout! (Except the start of Spelunky 2...)This category combines all three "Chain Low%" runs in each game, where you have to complete the intended secret route to reach the hard ending, but only use strictly necessary items to do so. These categories are notoriously difficult to speedrun, but also very unique and exciting, so I'm a big fan of this category.00:00 Spelunky Classic - Chain Low% City of Gold05:37 Spelunky HD - Chain Low% Hell16:30 Spelunky 2 - Chain Low% AbzuWatch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

This run had one less star boost compared to the previous record, though one of them was more of a half boost on the first level.

The Hardest Possible Spelunky Run: Post-run Commentary HectiqueAgain 2025-01-02 | --Spelunky HD Haunted Max Pacifist Chain No% Eggplant Seeded Completion ShowcaseNo commentary version: youtu.be/WXAIQsqTUdIThis is a commentated showcase video of an seeded, unsegmented, human-performed run of the hardest possible category in Spelunky (without mixing multiple item-holding categories). This was a project worked on by myself and Gary (gareb3ar/madebygare).This run uses carefully curated seeds per-level to be completed, though this method of seeding is the standard for the game anyway, and could someday be manipulated with TAS tools to force certain seeds without editing values in-game.The requirements for this run are:- Cannot collect items except for those listed below.- Complete the Black Market and get the Ankh.- Use the Ankh to receive the Hedjet.- Obtain the Sceptre.- Complete the City of Gold and get the Book of the Dead.- Cannot use any weapons, including the Sceptre, except to open the City of Gold.- Cannot take any damage, except to activate the Ankh.- Cannot use any bombs or ropes.- Cannot collect any money.- Cannot kill anything, including both bosses.- Complete the Haunted Castle.- Complete the Worm.- Complete the Mothership.- Strike Yama with an Eggplant and defeat him.If you would like to play this set of levels yourself, you can!1.

Finally Defeating a Maniacal Spelunky Speedrun! (Max Low%) HectiqueAgain 2024-12-29 | --Spelunky HD Max Low% Speedrun World Record (3:19.340)I have had nothing short of an extremely hostile relationship with Max Low% ever since I started speedrunning this game's Main Speed categories... But at least now I can save myself some heartache not having to run it as much. This particular seed was pretty strange, too -- most of the levels weren't really stellar, but the Worm, Mothership, and Temple were all top-notch. Sometimes that's all you need.Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

When and how it does remains a mystery for now, but until then, I'm pretty happy to have finally gotten a sub 2:10, and by a decent margin too!

Beating Spelunky with ONLY the Shield...? (Low% Shield Run) HectiqueAgain 2024-12-21 | --Spelunky HD No Gold Max Low% Shield Run World First Completion (25:29.877)The very rare "brand new category type" for Spelunky HD just dropped! We've historically thought of Low% Shield Run as being a category where only the Hired Hand can hold the Shield, since even carrying the item violates Low% due to how it works. But after a brief discussion, we decided that it would be much more fun and sensible to just create an exception to make these runs actually possible, and the result is as fun and crusty as the Shield itself!Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique
After 11 Years... the HARDEST Spelunky Challenge is Over. (Chain Low% Eggplant) HectiqueAgain 2024-12-01 | --Spelunky HD Chain Low% Eggplant World First* Completion (27:17.086)It's finally over. Chain Low% Eggplant has a long and storied history as a challenge that couldn't ever be completed without essentially getting so insanely lucky that you skip all the difficult and technical steps.Chain Low% Hell requires you to beat Hell without any major skips -- you have to get the Ankh, Hedjet, Sceptre, and Book of the Dead. No Bookskipping, just beating the hard ending with only your starting health and resources.Chain Eggplant% requires you to beat Hell while also striking Yama with an Eggplant. This requires you to have a lot of technical knowledge of strats, needing to be able to carry the Eggplant past the Moai and manage a Hired Hand to make it past 4-1. This run also bans skipping the book, but notably allows getting an Eggplant on 4-2, essentially skipping all the necessary challenges of the run.*The 4-2 Eggplant is the reason this isn't a world first completion -- Spef managed to execute on a 4-2 Eggplant during a Max Chain Low% Hell run 4 years ago, getting the first completion then. I still have a ton of respect for this run, as it requires insane dedication to even get a chance at -- but I wanted to be the first to do it from the very beginning!My attempts stuck to a strict rule to not skip any steps. I exclusively obtained Eggplants on 1-2 and would be forced to complete every technical and challenging step within the run to be able to complete it. It was an absolutely insane grind for a number of reasons...Didn't get the Eggplant for an hour? Missed the Black Market? Couldn't get past the Moai without an Altar or Mammoth? Robot character randomly gets itself killed? Guess you have to reset, on all of these, on 99% of your runs, even if you played perfectly without any mistakes. And after all of that, you'll have to contend with 4-1, the most difficult level in the run by far. It's an insanely unforgiving category!Having finished the run, I can now look back on it and say that it's my favorite Spelunky run ever. Previously my Pacifist Chain Triathlon deathless completion was a niche favorite of mine that was an extremely unique type of run that appealed to me a lot. But this has finally topped it, I think, and I don't know what it would take to beat this. This run is everything I could have ever hoped it would be.Chapters:00:00 - Start01:30 - Jungle02:00 - Black Market06:43 - Ice Caves08:20 - Moai12:00 - Mothership14:38 - Anubis & Temple18:59 - City of Gold20:22 - Olmec24:52 - Hell28:25 - Yama33:01 - The Final WhipWatch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

I Almost Beat Spelunkys Most Historic Challenge... (Chain Low% Eggplant) HectiqueAgain 2024-11-19 | --Spelunky HD Chain Low% Eggplant Distance World Record* (5-1)I made a promise to complete Spelunky's most unbelievable challenge before the end of this year -- combining both the extremely technical Chain Eggplant% category with the daunting and challenging Chain Low% Hell category. While I'm sad I ended up losing here, getting past 4-1 in Chain Low% Eggplant means that the clear is only a matter of time. All this practice should help me get another run much sooner!*For clarity, this is technically not the distance record, since (Max) Chain Low% Eggplant was cleared by Spef 4 and a half years ago. That run got the extremely lucky 4-2 Eggplant which bypasses most of the difficulty of the run, so I'm trying to get the first clear with an Eggplant taken from the very beginning.Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

Clocking in at slightly over 1 whole day, I'm pretty satisfied with the time I managed to get with relatively little practice in each game individually!Day 2: youtu.be/LZ0rBRk6iDADay 1 began with an immediate disaster in Bug Hunter, and a few other dicey moments along the way, but the rest of my performance was solid enough to get me ahead of estimate and finishing half of the collection in 8 hours!0:00:00 | 00 Preparation0:47:47 | 01 Barbuta0:52:57 | 02 Bug Hunter1:39:17 | 03 Ninpek1:48:12 | 04 Paint Chase2:11:07 | 05 Magic Garden2:16:25 | 06 Mortol2:35:39 | 07 Velgress2:39:16 | 08 Planet Zoldath2:58:13 | 09 Attactics3:32:12 | 10 Devilition4:03:10 | 11 Kick Club4:18:11 | 12 Avianos4:34:08 | 13 Mooncat4:39:12 | 14 Bushido Ball4:43:04 | 15 Block Koala5:52:11 | 00 Break6:04:30 | 16 Camouflage6:10:37 | 17 Campanella6:24:37 | 18 Golfaria6:56:19 | 19 The Big Bell Race7:05:30 | 20 Warptank7:39:20 | 21 Waldorf's Journey7:42:54 | 22 Porgy8:14:35 | 23 Onion Delivery8:25:14 | 24 Caramel Caramel8:38:19 | 25 Party House9:01:41 | 00 End of Day 1Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique
Speedrunning UFO 50 Puzzles for the Cause (Avianos Speedrun) HectiqueAgain 2024-10-03 | --UFO 50 Avianos Gold Cartridge Speedrun World Record (13:46.668)Avianos is a surprisingly fun game, given that I usually don't enjoy titles in this style. I think the smaller size of the game makes it easier to tackle if you're less experienced with this type of strategy game. For this run, I mostly rely on aggressively pushing castles with Rex to generate a lot of basic Sword and Archer units from seeds and block out the CPU. Rerolling the board is pretty important, since some boards just aren't viable to quickly steamroll due to mountain and castle placements. Thankfully, board rerolls hardly waste any time, so it's pretty worth it to cycle a couple times if the board looks bad.Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique
UFO 50 Speedrun Arc Has Arrived (Bug Hunter Speedrun) HectiqueAgain 2024-09-30 | --UFO 50 Bug Hunter Gold Cartridge Speedrun World Record (12:41.935)I enjoyed Bug Hunter a fair bit, so I decided to try and get the first speedrun on the board! This run was alright, but has tons of room for improvement. This is definitely the kind of game where a certain loadout for the right alien types can shred through levels.Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

An INSANE Glitch Has BROKEN Spelunky 2!? (Low% Sunken City) HectiqueAgain 2024-09-07 | --Spelunky 2 Low% Sunken City (Seeded, Glitched) Speedrun World Record (1:56.516)A new glitch was discovered that allows you to modify your config file to turn pets into unexpected entities. This includes the Olmec ship, which can sometimes work, and other times crash your game... Today we found a setup that works on 1-1, allowing you to enter Sunken City in less than a second optimally. This seed had a good enough Sunken City to secure a completely ridiculous sub 2:00 finish!Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

This was the first good jungle I managed to get with it, and was on pretty baller pace, but there are definitely better jungles to get still, so I expect a 7:30ish time in the near future.Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique

Another Challenge so Awful it took 15 YEARS to Complete (Pacifist Low% No Gold) HectiqueAgain 2024-05-26 | --Spelunky Classic Pacifist Low% No Gold World First Completion (5:52)Disclaimer: I beat this run like 2 weeks before Classic No% but forgot to upload it, and it's a much better category. By like, a lot. Anyway, the description I wrote at the time is below!There's been a recent push to clear the remaining Spelunky Classic challenge runs, at least besides a couple of super unrealistic runs. I decided to try out Pacifist Low% No Gold and got a couple runs to Olmec with only 2 or 3 bombs, which is basically doomed to fail. Finally got a run with all 4 bombs and didn't fail the 50/50 on the first stomp.Watch the streams live: twitch.tv/hectiquexPublic Discord: discord.gg/0s4bogKEFkF8hO0MMain channel: youtube.com/channel/UCD7EpO3k5vx1GEw6Gq7cuGQPatreon: patreon.com/Hectique
