Journal Run Recap sticker

The Hedjet is one of the four Egyptian artifacts the Spelunker can find in Spelunky 2, alongside the Udjat Eye, Ankh, and Scepter. It is found in the Black Market in the Jungle, sold for $40,000. The Hedjet is the Jungle equivalent to Volcana's Crown.

Functionality

The Hedjet emits a large glow around the Spelunker, substantially increasing the amount that they can see in dark areas, similar to Spectacles. The Hedjet's glow and the Spectacles' glow stack if the Spelunker posesses both at once, which causes them to illuminate the entire screen. When the Hedjet's effect is active, it can be seen shining in the HUD above the Spelunker's health.

Posessing the Hedjet or Crown adds the line "I was a king/queen." to the Journal's Run Recap. King/Queen is used depending on the Spelunker's gender.

The Hedjet's true purpose however, is for reaching Sunken City. It has a different use depending on which Area 4 the Spelunker goes to.

Use in Tide Pool

In Tide Pool 4-2, the bottom of the level features a large lake with an island at the center. The center of this island features Excalibur placed in an unbreakable stone. If the Spelunker has Hedjet or Crown, they can pull Excalibur from its stone and use it as a weapon.

Use in Temple of Anubis

In Temple of Anubis 4-1, Anubis can be found. When he is killed, he drops the Scepter. In 4-2, a locked golden door can be found. If the Spelunker, equipped with the Hedjet or Crown, takes the Scepter to the golden door, they will be permitted access to The City of Gold, which destroys the Scepter in the process.
