For players of Spelunky 2, this guide will explain how to unlock all three shortcuts. But be aware that it contains spoilers, read at your own risk!

 

Read this first!

In this guide, I will tell you what you need to unlock todthe shortcuts and
what the shortcut will do for you. (Basically where it will take you). First of all, this is not 100% complete.
(Since I don't know what the last thing to give Mama Tunnel is to unlock the third shortcut.) And secondly, this contains some spoilers. Read on at your own risk. 

 
 

The first shortcut

- Shortcut 1 -

First, you will have to overcome level 1-4. (The last level of the first area).
The first thing you should give Mama Tunnel is $ 2,000 of money. Which is very easy to do.

Next, you must give him 1 bomb. Again, this is easy to do. Since you start with 4 Pumps.
(Unless you're playing multiplayer, in which case your supplies are split with each player.)

Lastly, you will have to give him $10,000 of money. This is a little more difficult, but todvia bastbefore easy.

After those three, you will have the first shortcut! Which will send you to level 1-4.
Which is very useful because you can choose to go to the jungle or to the volcano.
(The jungle is the exit on the left, the volcano is the exit on the right!)
Also, a quick little tip, in my opinion the volcano is easier and more fun than the jungle.

 
 

The second shortcut

- Shortcut 2 -

First, you will need to complete level 3-1. This is where things get a bit tricky.

(If you've already cleared level 3-1, you can jump into space.)
This is Olmec. A real boss. If you have 4 bombs, here is an easy way to beat
level. Runs todor the path to the right side of the map (don't go up the ladder).
But make sure the Olmecs don't follow you. Then put a bomb in the corner,
next to the start of the stairs. Pick it up and put it back, then back off
so it doesn't explode. (If you didn't know, pick up a bomb and place it
backing up will change the blast radius, this works on Spelunky 1 and 2.)
Then put another pump in that well you just made. (Pick and place
trick for each bomb). Next, make a THIRD pump at the bottom of the well. (You may
you need to place a rope to avoid dying.) And lastly, place the fourth bomb at the bottom
again. If you did it correctly, you should be able to enter through the door on the right side
Of the level. This will take you to level 4-1 and this is also where Mama Tunnel is.
(If you have unlocked the first shortcut).

Finally, step 2. Mama Tunnel will first need 1 rope. Which is bastbefore simple
Second, you will want a weapon. (The shotgun worked for me).
And lastly, you will want me to wear it. (I used a Rockdog, but I think any ride will do.)
And congratulations! You have now unlocked the second shortcut! Is
The shortcut will take you to the second layer of level 3-1. (The one you had
normally.) This is helpful. Cause now you can go
todor path to the right side of the level and go to the ocean area, OR...
You can bomb another layer and go to the pyramid area. Both of them
of which are level 4. In my opinion, Ocean is more secure. Although Pyramid
it's more fun! (Because it's kinda crazy and the haters are cool).

 
 

The third shortcut

- Shortcut 3 -

First, you will have to overcome level 4-4. (The pyramid or the ocean doesn't matter).
This will take you to Mama Tunnel, if you unlocked the second shortcut.

The first thing you want is $ 50.000. Yeah it's a bit too much but if you start
from level 1-1, or use the first shortcut, it should be bastbefore easy.

Second, you will want a helping hand. That in case you didn't know,
are the helpers you can buy from merchants or get when opening
Coffins of which you have already earned the character.

And finally, well… todI still haven't gotten him the Helping Hand.
But I think I will soon! So don't worry I will update it as
as soon as you know what you want! (Yes, I could probably
look it up, and I mean, you could too! But i'm trying to learn
todor myself. Since it is more fun and rewarding for me).

 
 

Council fast

This is a quick tip about the Olmecs.

Start by using the second shortcut. Now go right up
you get to the sixth pillar. (In the background.) Jump and place
a rope near the pillar (on both sides or just in front).

Now climb to the top, you may need to jump a few times.
Do you hear that? Yes. That is Olmec. He is going down to
crush you. But don't worry walk away when I'm tearing up
the last layer, and boom! You can fight the Olmecs as much as
you want, using the second shortcut.
