How to Use your Free Items

You begin each run of Spelunky 2 with four ropes and four bombs which the game will give to you free. As both of these items are limited you need to make sure you use them carefully. Ropes can be used to traverse up or down any given area which makes them very useful for escaping sticky situations and bombs can be used to open up shortcuts in levels, find hidden money, take down enemies, and help reach trapped pets.
