![]() ![]() Likewise in 2, Tide Pool is overly preferred over The Temple for a long list of reasons.The only real advantage of the Jungle is the easier availability of paste due to Giant Spiders, and even that item can be found in shops and crates anywhere. To top it all off, Volcana's unique prize item, Vlad's Cape, is considered a Game-Breaker that outweighs anything the Jungle could provide. Volcana's hidden area is also much simpler to find since the drill is fully visible at the top of the map, whereas the Black Market's entrance must be searched out via the Udjat Eye's blinking and opened with a bomb, and easier to take advantage of since freeing Van Horsing will have him kill Vlad for you, whereas the player will either need to stock up on money or trigger the rage of shopkeepers to get the Market's bounty. The Jungle, by contrast, has Mantraps and Witch Doctors. ![]() Additionally, the enemies here include Imps who carry magma pots (easy to bait out the pot and then kill the Imp), Robots (which only chase you as far as the ledge of the platform they're on), and Fire Bugs (which have a very telegraphed attack and use it intermittently), and even Rock Dogs can be tamed, whipped, or avoided. The only deadly traps are the lava, which always comes with platforms to get over it, and the Spike Balls, which are highly visible and have a decent startup time, unlike the Jungle, which has Spear Traps which deal 4 damage and Bear Traps which are an instakill. In 2, it's much more common for experienced players to choose Volcana over the Jungle as their second area.It takes a little to get used to, but after that, it becomes the easiest level in the entire game.

Also in 2 the Shotgun without a power pack and the Plasma Cannon can become this thanks to their recoil now knocking you off of ropes or other climbing surfaces, alongside the greater prevalence of enemies and surfaces that can send your projectiles right back at you and the chance that firing could destroy the ghost pot offscreen it's sometimes safer to go without a firearm.Be it the weapons pack, the hoverpack, the telepack, and yes, even the jetpack of HD fame got hit with this, if it has "pack" in the name, odds are, you'll need to be careful lest it blows up in your face, literally. Even if it's on the spelunker's back - at which point you'll be forced to tank 10 HP worth of damage, which for most cases, is effectively a OHKO. A downplayed example comes in 2, in the form of the various "Pack" items when a "Pack" item either takes a ton of damage in rapid succession (usually if it gets shot with a Shotgun), or is hit by fire, it will explode, dealing 10 damage.Adaptation Displacement: The commercial version is a lot more well-known than the freeware version. ![]()
