Revision as of 01:47, 12 April 2021
For the Spelunkers in Spelunky HD, see Spelunkers.
There are 20 different playable Spelunkers available in Spelunky 2 that can be used in all single player and multiplayer game modes.
Four are available from the beginning, but the remaining sixteen must be unlocked by finding them throughout the caves.
Unlocking all 16 secret characters will cause a large cardboard cutout of a buff dog to appear in the Camp.
Every Spelunker has identical abilities; the only differences are cosmetic. Every single spelunker has their own custom rope, while some have a custom whip.
Spelunkers cannot be unlocked in Online Multiplayer under any circumstance; this includes Guy Spelunky and Classic Guy, who are unlocked by completing specific Endings.

Other Features
Custom Ropes
All Spelunkers have a special custom Rope. All ropes function identically, and some have their own unique sound.
Custom Rope Sounds
Default: Rope hooks onto wall.
Colin Northward: Rope suction cup attaches to wall.
Nekka the Eagle: The vine-like Rope makes an organic attaching noise.
LISE Project: The electrical plug at the end of the Rope makes a soft attaching noise as it inserts into the background.
Manfred Tunnel: Sound of Rope "Digging" into wall.
Tina Flan: The carabiner clip at the end of the Rope "clanks" onto the background with a loud metal sound.
Valerie Crump: The chewed gum at the end of the Rope sticks to the wall.
Au: Deploying plays a loud, tube like unfurling noise.
Pilot: The arm-like Rope makes a rubbery flailing sound as it is thrown upward.
Classic Guy: The Rope makes the same sound effects as it did in Spelunky Classic.
Custom Whips
Some characters have their own custom Whips. These whips function identically to the default whip, and only appear different. Notably, Hired Hands and the Eggplant Child also have their very own custom whip.
Player Ghists
When a Spelunker dies in co-op, they will drop a Corpse Bag and become a Ghist. The colors and features of the Ghist resemble the player character that died.
Player Ghists can use the attack button to hold their breath and release a puff of air, knocking anything forward. If a player Ghist holds their breath for over 2.5 seconds, they will be able to shoot a short-ranged ice blast that acts identical to that of the Freeze Ray's.
Pressing the "bomb" button while playing as a ghist will boost them forward.
Pressing the "rope" button while playing as a ghist will cause them to shake and make a loud rattling noise. This has no effect on gameplay.
Pressing the "jump" button will cause the player's ghist to spin. This also has no effect on gameplay.
Player Ghists can help living players by:
- Using its held breath to blow objects from high elevation to help with players from wasting ropes.
- Provoking Pets from their idle state.
- Blowing away The Ghost.
- Leaving powerful enemies to be easily defeating using their ice blast, such as Quillback, Osiris, or even Tiamat and Hundun.
Player Ghists can provoke Shopkeepers and other NPCs by freezing them.
For each player Ghist that exists, the amount of time in a level before The Ghost spawns reduces by 30 seconds.
Taking a picture of a player Ghist using the Camera will momentarily and forcefully freeze them into an odd shape or expression.
Dialogue
All playable Spelunkers have their own special dialogue in the Camp. For a full list of Spelunker dialogue, visit the Dialogue page.
NPCs
NPCs are Non-Player Characters encountered throughout the caves. Many of them offer questlines or services, each of which are elaborated on their respective pages.

Trivia
- Much of the Spelunky 2 cast is either related to or made up of former Spelunkers. For example, it is implied that Little Jay and Valerie Crump are The Round Boy and The Round Girl from the original adventure or at the very least related to them, with both having lost weight and gaining more individuality.
- Colin Northward is based on Colin Northway, a friend of Spelunky and Spelunky 2's lead designer Derek Yu.
- Roffy D. Sloth's namesake may be a reference to One Piece's main character, 'Monkey D. Luffy'
- Van Horsing, who was previously a Spelunker in Spelunky HD, returns as an NPC in Spelunky 2. His namesake and appearance is also a reference to Van Helsing, a fictional character from the 1897 gothic horror novel Dracula. Both serve as vampire hunters in their respective appearances.
- Tina Flan's description is a reference to how she was the character used by the Youtuber/Streamer BananasaurusRex during the first successfully recorded solo eggplant run.
- This reference is taken further by a unique dialogue during her interaction with the Eggplant King, as he says "Ah, you've come to finish the job!" if he is killed by Tina.
- The Pilot appears to be a reference to one of the games in the upcoming UFO 50 (also by Mossmouth), known as Campanella. He appears here in the game's trailer.
- Demi Von Diamonds is a reference to the Damsel from Spelunky Classic and HD. Her dialogue hints that she is the same character from the first game, seeming to know Guy and the original Yang from the first game.
- Dirk Yamaoka and Sparrow are siblings. If Dirk Yamaoka meets Sparrow, she will say "Big brother! I never thought I'd catch you thieving..."
- Dirk Yamaoka's last name is the same as Chris Yamaoka, a person given Special Thanks to in the Credits.
- Au is the Periodic Symbol for Gold, hence the Golden Monk's name.
- Although "Cyan" does not make a reappearance in Spelunky 2, he is referenced in the credits, as Andy Hull's cartoon icon has him wearing the same outfit as him.
