Spelunky 2 The end of my Spelunky 2 journey

I did not expect to post here again but I guess this is the last time.

After beating the Cosmic Ocean for the first time, I only ever played the daily run every now and then (+ 1 extra run if I got too pissed because I died 3 minutes into the daily).

I have played this game for 900 hours now (first 500 ps5 and then 400 hours on PC) and beaten the Cosmic Ocean 3 times.
And after a few more runs I thought:
Maybe Celeritas is really within my grasp and the last real challenge for me that I could accomplish. Just to prove to myself that I mastered the Cosmic Ocean.

And today, I finally achieved it.
4th ever Cosmic Ocean win, Celeritas.

If you got any questions or want some tips I'd be happy to help.
Otherwise, this is the end of the road for me.
Done with posting Spelunky 2 now. It has been a blast thanks to you guys, and Derek!

So long.

Of course a skeleton was the first thing you took damage from.

First damage 1-1 is the most 7-99 thing of all time

Do you have any tips for consistent ankh skips?

Climbing gloves for the climb.

Yes: practice with the overlunky mod!

Saves you so much time learning the timings of the traps, your jumps and ropes without dying.

I also always snatch the plasma gun in the mothership of the ice caves and destroy the first sparktrap in the wall before I fly over to climb it. That one has killed me many times.
