Yes, for the city of gold:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You need to find various artifacts during one playthrough.  All of them, to be specific.  Start with getting the Eye in area 1, then find a secret door in area 2 and go from there.

Oh, so you need the hat from inside the head?
How exactly do you need to die to get inside, I've been to it with the ankh many a times.

From what I've heard,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

All you have to do is die in any way, on that level.  But I think I've heard cautionary stories about bombs and possibly about falling, don't remember.  Some people say you should die on top of the head, but numerous reports say that is not required.
I've never even gotten the Ankh myself >.>

I did die in the level, it respawned me at the entrance door.

Spoiler: Snippets from the wiki... (click to show/hide)

Based on my understanding from the wiki, that means maybe you died on the WRONG level in area 3.
But, I dunno.  The wiki describes it as the "Moai Ankh" statue:  "The special level has a giant blue moai on it that has an ankh engraved in its forehead, and that cannot be destroyed with bombs."  Wiki also says you shouldn't kill yourself with bombs and that esc-f1 works best.  Also, it should be somewhere near being on-screen; turns out you don't have to stand right on it, but you know how the boulder stops moving if it's far enough off-screen?  Well, if the moai is that far off screen, it won't work.  Sucks.

Oh ok, I get it now.

Does anyone else kill every shopkeeper they see with zero difficulty?
I rob every store I see.

Yeah right, shopkeepers are crazy overpowered motherfuckers. 20 hp, amazing aim, can jump 3 tiles high, resistance to getting jumped on (even with spike shoes), can throw you, can steal a shotgun right out of your hand if they're unarmed, and incredibly aggressive AI spells almost certain doom if you don't have an awesome plan.

So what's your trick?

So what's your trick?

Grab a random item, preferably a bomb or something that will disappear when you leave the store.
Run for the exit, but keep him a medium-ish distance away.
The second you get outside, jump over his shot.
He will be still running after you, so do a jump and steer in mid-air to land on him.
Once he is hit, immediately pick up the shotgun and run inside, shooting at him as you go.
Shoot him at least three more times and then your good.

I decided that skill wasn't worth learning:  Too many shop keepers guarding exits for my comfort...

[JoshuaFH]

I have the skill nearly mastered, it's frustrating as hell though, so I wouldn't recommend it.

On a different note, I got the most health I ever did in a single run.

I sacrificed a crapload of priests for that.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Use more bombs.

[Hawkfrost]

Oh, word from the wise, DO NOT blow up Kali's shrine more than once.
Just sayin'.

I did it once and acted smug when I avoided the spiders(Which fell into a nicely placed magma pit), but blow up two? I must try this, after she gives me 99 bombs.

[penguinofhonor]

I hope you don't have a shotgun you want to keep at the time.

[JoshuaFH]

I hope you don't have a shotgun you want to keep at the time.

Heheheheheh, good one PoH.

[612DwarfAvenue]

Yeah, i'm bumping this thread. Deal with it.


Now, 2 questions.

1: Where is the Wiki?
2: What's some of your most humiliating (sp?)/hilarious deaths?

[Electronic Phantom]

Lesseehere.... I think my most embarrassing moment was being spider-bumped into some spikes.  On level 1.

 Gah. The curse of Kali sticks between levels! Although it can be useful. You will always have a throwable object near you at all times.

I must know what this curse is!
