April Spelunky Daily Challenge Tournament (Steam) - FINAL

The kapala is awesome if you can get it going. It is possible to fill it with mummy vomit, but I have never attempted it.

You have to do a lot of sacrifices to get that right? Then what?

yeah I have two ways of dealing with mummies:

a) have shotgun, shoot him.
b) no shotgun, go the other direction.

You have to get 16 points of sacrifice. Each stunnable thing is worth a different amount - Damsels/Hired Hands/Spelunkers are worth 8 stunned or 4 dead, but most dead are worth 1 or 2 points.

Once you get 16 points, you get the cup. As you kill things it fills with blood (gets redder) and you get hp. Mummy vomit is blood for some reason, so it is possible to get 99 hp off of a Mummy.

I'm missing so much stuff - you guys are 3-4x my score on similar levels some days. How are you at nearly 100K by 2-4? There are huge things i'm not doing...

One way would be to get the glasses (they show you where gems and items are hidden) or get the item that is locked in the chest (also has the effect of glasses) and using bombs or a mining pick to get those items you can see. Another way would be to take every golden idol that you see to the exit. Those are nearly 15K each I think.

for the Daily, when playing for score I try to:

1. Collect as much gold as I can in each level.
2. Don't buy anything.
3. Don't die.

I can't say there's any "tricks" I can think of. Um... you know that some big enemies (those big spiders for instance) will give you gold if you kill them? You know that stealing the idol will net you some good loot if you get it to the door (without being crushed by the big boulder that comes out)?

My plan for dailies is go slow and dont use assets unless you have to. So I plan my trips down as best I can. Knowing how high and far you can jump helps in this alot. By assets I include the damsel. She can take a dart trap hit and stay alive, or save you from one if you are carrying her. So if you have the choice, put her down and let her set it off. Also, I never grab the climbing gloves, ever. I also rarely rob the stores on dailies. I try to get to the black market first.

No matter what, bats are still a pain. But you can kill them with ropes.

For help in movement:

right. As best I can, I'll try to clear out the whole top level before jumping down to the middle, then clear that out as best I can before moving to the bottom. If it's for score, I'm attempting to see as much of a single level as I can.
