How to Cure
There are multiple ways for a Spelunker to cure curse in Spelunky 2. Below is a list of the ONLY ways to cure oneself of curse:
- Drinking an Elixir gained from the Stars Challenge in Temple of Anubis (Doing the Stars Challenge in Tide Pool will reward you with the Clone Gun instead).
- Standing over a Kali Altar while giving her enough points for her to produce a reward.
- This can only be done after the initial reward for 8 favor points.
- Doing this will replace the reward Kali would normally give you (eg; after reaching 16 favor, Kali will uncurse you instead of awarding the Kapala.).
- If the Kapala is replaced in order to uncurse the player, it will be given to the player as the next reward.
- Dying with the Ankh and reviving. This will remove any status effects and set you at 4 HP.
- Dying in Co-op and having a fellow player revive you by breaking open a Coffin.
