Spelunky 2 Safe and easy stealing from shopkeepers

To easily kill shopkeepers, simply use rope. Before attacking a shopkeeper, look and see if they have any explosive objects. Shotguns, certain weapons, and bomb bags will explode when shot (be careful). When ready, walk up and stand directly on a shopkeeper. Launch a rope in his tiny cubby hole for him to be ejected out of the shop without his shotgun. Grab it and shoot the shopkeeper. Sometimes, shopkeepers will drop keys —- this only happens if there is a locked room beneath the shop. Throw the key away if it drops and grab the shotgun instead. Shopkeepers are quick, even without weapons. If there are bombs or other explosives in the shop, leave or walk past them before shooting the shotgun and killing the shopkeeper. Note: Killing a shopkeeper will mark you as an enemy for the rest of the game. You will get a great weapon early, but more shopkeepers will hunt you on each level. Any shopkeepers that spawn will patrol their shops with weapons drawn, and they do not spawn additional items. The level exits will also be guarded by one or two shopkeepers. Thus, this is a high risk, high reward option. If there are multiple useful items that will make the rest of your run easy, try going for it. You can also use the shotgun to kill future shopkeepers in later areas, or use the money to unlock shortcuts.

Shortcuts

There are three shortcuts that can be unlocked at different points in the game. The first shortcut is located under the Quillback boss in Level 1-4. Starting from the shortcut will give you access to either of the two (left or right) paths. Exiting Level 1-4 will lead to an encounter with Terra. Fulfill her three requests to unlock a shortcut. Go left of the main door to find the shortcut paths once they are unlocked.

Shortcut 1: Start at the bottom of the final Dwelling, Level 1-4.

    Request 1: 2,000 Gold
    Request 2: 1 Bomb

Shortcut 2: Start at the bottom of Olmec’s Lair, Level 3-1.

    Request 1: 1 Rope
    Request 2: Any weapon — Shotguns, Bowguns, Machetes. Boomerangs are the easiest to find in the Jungle.
    Request 3: Any mount — Turkeys from the Dwelling or the Diamond Dogs in Volcana count.

Shortcut 3: Start that the bottom of the final Tide Pool, Level 4-4.

    Request 1: 50,000 Gold
