The player is then allowed to open 4 of the 8 Chests, all of which have the payout of Vault chests. The most straightforward way to do so requires the use of three Bombs, one for each forcefield. Sparrow will be inside offering to split the treasure with the player if they can get past the three Forcefields. When the player reaches the Palace of Pleasure in 6-3, the door to the vault found near the bottom of the level will be unlocked and both of the Bodyguards that were previously guarding it will be found dead. Not talking to Sparrow in 6-1 will end the questline prematurely. Interacting with her here will initiate the final phase of the questline. Talking to her makes her tell the player to meet her at Madame Tusk's Palace of Pleasure. Sparrow appears in a backlayer accessed found below a set of climbable mushrooms in 6-1 of Neo Babylon. If Tusk's Bodyguard has line of sight with or gets within a certain radius of the player while they are holding The Tusk Idol, both him and Tusk will anger and attack.Ĭollecting The Tusk Idol and securing it at the level's exit without killing Madame Tusk herself will continue Sparrow's quest. In order to obtain The Tusk Idol without killing Tusk herself for the Key she drops to unlock the door, the player must find another one beforehand or bring or a Skeleton Key. If the player has interacted with her previously, the locked door above Madame Tusk's Dice House will contain The Tusk Idol in place of the usual note from Sparrow, wanting to test the player's skill at thieving. Sparrow's quest can only be continued by visiting Tide Pool from Olmec's Lair instead of Temple of Anubis. Not talking to Sparrow on the level she spawns and instead continuing forward will void the questline. She is found in a backlayer accessed via a small wooden structure that spawns somewhere in the level.Īpproaching Sparrow in the backlayer will cause her to toss a Rope Pile at the player before she challenges them to steal from Madame Tusk. This is due to multiple reasons, although content will be available in the future.If Sparrow is provoked in any step of her quest, she attacks with a Crossbow and drops a Skeleton Key if killed.Īngering a Shopkeeper in a level prior to Olmec's Lair by picking up an unpaid item and taking it out of the shop (thus triggering the 'Stop, thief!' dialogue and not the 'Vandal!' dialogue) will cause Sparrow to spawn in the next possible level after completing the current and subsequent level. In Europe, Africa, Middle East & Oceania, all content after Version 1.20.4d are also unavailable on PS4. Note that the player will not be able to use the whip after collecting the Eggplant Crown, which may prove to be slightly disadvantageous in Sunken City and in other situations as they can no longer perform 'backwhipping', but is worth the massive benefits it can later give in Cosmic Ocean.ĭisclaimer: All content from Version 1.25 and onwards are currently unavailable on PS4.The Eggplant Crown is great for disarming Arrow Traps in Sunken City, dispatching ranged threats with ease, or quickly defeating high health stunned enemies.Players should be cautious not to throw Eggplants in a straight line into open space in Cosmic Ocean, as it may wrap around the level and hit them from behind.The Pitcher's Mitt affects the thrown Eggplants, greatly increasing accuracy and effectiveness.Although reaching Cosmic Ocean and attaining the Eggplant Crown in the same run may be difficult, it is extremely rewarding with its infinite Eggplant-throwing potential.A bright, purple star will appear on the constellation as well. The Eggplant Crown also changes the name of the Constellation that Cosmic Ocean produces after reaching 7-99 when in the player's possession, changing the first word to Solanum. Posessing the Eggplant Crown adds the line 'I was an eggplant.' to the Journal's Run Recap.

The Eggplant Crown is unaffected by the bearer wearing a Powerpack.

The ability to toss eggplants is exactly identical to how it would be throwing an actual eggplant item, with the only difference being that the bearer has an infinite amount of them, automatically summoned and thrown in the desired direction once the player attempts to whip. Attempting to perform a ledgewhip with the Eggplant Crown will result in nothing happening. The whip being replaced by thrown eggplants also causes the bearer to lose the ability to 'ledgewhip' by pressing the action button while grabbing a ledge. The Eggplant Crown replaces the bearer's ability to whip for the ability to toss Eggplants, which deals one damage per eggplant. It is a guaranteed drop from the Eggplant King, alongside 10 pieces of Giant Food. It is one of the most difficult items to attain in a Spelunky 2 run. The Eggplant Crown is an item obtained in Eggplant World.
