You’ll encounter them on 1-4, and might serve as the first major threat in your game.
Quillback will be pacing back and forth below, and will charge at you when spotted.
They should then roll into one of the side walls of the lair, destroying them.
This is how you could avoid fighting Quillback altogether.
This is the safest and easiest way to deal with Quillback.
you’re able to also kill Quillback if you fancy it.
Olmec strategy in Spelunky 2 explained
Surprise!
There is an easy and a hard way to approach Olmec.
The hard way is approaching Olmec as you did in the original.
Olmec will hover when you get close and slam down into the ground.
When you get to the level below, be warned - Olmec will transform and start spitting bombs.
However, much like Quillback, you don’t have to defeat Olmec to move on.
With just a few bombs, you might ignore Olmec altogether and dig down the left side.
Then, another three or four bombs after that, should be enough to reach the next shortcut.
