Spelunky: The Final Boss (Boss Strategy Spoilers)

Go back now if you don't want this boss spoiled for you!

Music: Yoko Kanno & The Seatbelts "What Planet is This?" from Cowboy Bebop

Me beating the final boss of Spelunky 99.8
I went in to the battle with a shotgun, compass, 9 health, 12 bombs, and 12 ropes.

More bombs is even better. I didn't end up needing all of those ropes, but they're helpful to have so you don't get stuck.

A Jetpack would be REALLY nice to have, here, but I wasn't lucky enough to get one this time.

Ask questions in the comments.

First off, Music = Epic.

Secondly, The boss seemed a little easier than I thought it'd be. Perhaps that's because you were so well prepared. Either way, great job! :3

Bombs are essential.

And it helps to have a gun or a scepter to dispatch the smaller enemies that spawn, plus the cavemen.

what program do y use for the last 1min

[mastatsan]

The gameplay footage was recorded with Camtasia, the text and music were added through editing in Sony Vegas.

*don't panic* oh graet, I already know how it will work out for me:

DON'T PANIC DON'T PANIC DON'T PANIC!!! IF YOU PANIC YOU'LLaaaaargh

[ZetaPlays]

Yes, but you can and usually want to get that artifact in the locked chest on like level TWO sometimes, and it is superior in every way!

[RadiatingxEyes]

Hey man, spectacles aren't useless! Sometimes shotguns or even jetpacks will be emedded in the wall tiles. :D

[berrysucks]

nice job :D i really wanted to see the ending though D:

You can also get other items at that first prize level. If you already have Udjat Eye or the Spectacles, you'll get the next item on the list, which is climbing gloves. If you have those, too, then spring shoes, spike shoes, and finally the compass.

It only takes a few stunned yetis, or 2 stunned cultists to get your first health boost (you get 50% more favor if they're not dead.)
