[HOT] : Spelunky 2: How to unlock each area | Black Market, Mothership, City of Gold and more

Spelunky 2 is full of hidden bonus areas, and investigating these optional locations can earn you huge rewards. Places like Vlad’s Castle and the Black Market return from the first game, but others like the Sunken City are totally new. The City of Gold is back, and the Mothership is one of the hardest to reach areas in the game.

They are all great if you have the skill. We’ll start with the easier areas and slowly reveal how to get to the more difficult ones. The Sunken City leads to an optional boss, but you’ll have to visit several secondary locations to reach that area – and that’s ridiculously dangerous. Some of these places make getting to the bottom of the dungeon much easier, so knowing how to get in is totally invaluable.

If you are looking to learn everything there is to learn Spelunky 2, this is a good place to start.
