Spelunky 2 - No Gold Pacifist Chain Low% Eggplant Duat Clear! (WORLD'S SECOND)

Part of me is still in disbelief. This is by far the most grueling grind I have ever done; I've been grinding for this on-and-off for over a year at this point. It was super demoralizing playing this, as you had to reset for a long time to get an eggplant past the dwelling and then you just lose to the drill, or 4-1 provides nothing to fight Anubis with, or Volcana or Olmec decide to have really mean layouts that end your run. It felt like I would never clear this category and I was stuck in purgatory attempting this over and over and over again. I was definitely capable of a clear. I knew that. Everyone knew that. But it just wasn't happening. I had gotten several attempts to reach the lategame, but they all died for one stupid reason or another. But today, I finally pulled one together, leading to one of my proudest (and most stressful) runs ever. I could not have done this without the support of my friends and the Spelunky community as a whole. Thank you all. I love you. 💙💖✨💜 general spelunky leaderboard: https://mossranking.com/ no gold pacifist chain low% eggplant duat leaderboard: https://mossranking.com/spelunky-2/cat/ng-... I don't want to share my exact stats (some of them are embarrassing and others a bit misleading) but here's some fun facts from my grind: I had 7 runs past Duat that all died!! (8 if you count one that had a 5-1 Present + Altar lol). I also lost exactly 40 runs to 4-1!! Yay!! God I hate you 4-1 I will never forgive you for what you did to me Also what the hell I can't believe the successful run was a Jungle run LOL, I almost always go Volcana; this is like my 4th or 5th ever time entering Jungle on an attempt to clear this
