Spam throw bombs in his direction, and use ropes to get above him.
Wait, can he hit you if you go way up above him? And if not, does he still break blocks if you are above him?

Last time i tried, it's useless to get above it as it will break blocks only if you're under it.

Climb on top of it, stand in the middle, crouch and throw bombs down whenever it moves up. The bombs will fall through it and destroy the blocks in the middle. Just be sure to jump off before it falls in the lava.

I was looking through my extended stats, and was wondering what the first ??? was on the enemies section.
ENEMY        DEATHS
------------+------------
 ???        | 0
 SNAKE      | 17
 SPIDER     | 29
 G. SPIDER  | 6
 CAVEMAN    | 31

Can anyone help me out here? It's been bugging me since I first got the game.

check the other list....

the one you copied is the "enemy/deaths" list... but scroll further down to the "enemy/kills" list...
from what i can see the entrys are the same. 2nd snake on both 3rd spider etc....  that way you should find it out what is 1st.

the stats of the "misc" section would be more difficult to "find out"...   well maybe theres a wiki somewhere, or a forum or screenshot or whatever...
well atleast your "1st entry in the death list" is probably covered.

So the game is paused on the final boss, and I just took a break and ate dinner.

Can anyone give me any tips/basic strategy? I really don't want to lose! :(
I have 2 hearts left...I have NO gear except a shotgun, tons of bombs, and a couple ropes.
----------------
He stomped on me.
I shall pretend that I won though. I'm actually quite impressed I made it so far with only a shotgun bought early on. Usually I do much better with at least a cape or something.

Assuming you arrive at the boss level like I do, low on health out of just about everything (you did do the city of gold right?) my only suggestion to take it slow. instead of running back and forth across a small space or thorwing bombs to make a deep hole, use the stomps to makes a shallow dish with a tiered edge so you can get out at the end.

Don't feel bad if you never get to see the City of Gold for yourself Quin, it's the most crazy hard to access secret of any game I've ever played. When I played Spelunky hardcore back in my day, I got to see the city once, and that was only narrowly, and I died shortly thereafter.

The only thing you need for the last fight is ropes, a mastery of running, and complete fearlessness. The wand is amazing in this fight for getting rid of the pesky critters, but it isn't necessary if you're super awesome at running and jumping. Assuming he hasn't changed, since I haven't played in a year or so, you can lure him back and forth between two sets of blocks, and he'll crush crush crush a nearly straight hole into the magma. Use those ropes I was talking about to climb your way out and cross the finish line!

I actually didn't think the city of gold was too hard to get into, all things considered. It might've helped that I refuse to complete a run unless I get close to it though.

What? He's firing from the hip.

It's hard to get to unless you massacre the black market...

How do you deal with those giant spiders that sometimes pop up? Bombs, whipping, rocks, ect simply don't kill it, and it one shots me.

The ones that cling to webs? throw a bomb at the webs. It'll stick to them, and then blow them up (you can also then get sticky bombs)

But not even a bomb will kill them!
