Parsley, Parsnip, and Parmesan are three related Quest NPCs in Spelunky 2.
Quest[]
The Jungle[]
In levels 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4 in the Jungle, the player will always find a single entrance to a backlayer containing one of the three sisters. They will be trapped in a small stone room. Opening the room up by pushing the Push Block out of the way and approaching the sister will tag them as rescued.
Each sister has a designated level that they spawn in: Parsley will spawn in 2-2, Parsnip in 2-3, and Parmesan in 2-4.
Olmec's Lair[]
Once the player reaches Olmec's Lair, they will find every single sister that they freed in the Jungle in the top right of the level, accessed via a ladder. Depending on how many sisters were rescued, a different reward will be waiting for the player beside the sisters.
If the player only rescued only one of them, they will receive a Rope Pile. Rescuing two of them will award a Bomb Bag, while rescuing all three will gift the player a Bomb Box.
Receiving a reward for freeing all three sisters in Olmec's Lair.
Other Appearances[]
Saving certain sisters will cause them to appear later in the run. They do not directly assist the player when encountered again, instead only offering a string of dialogue.
- If the player rescued Parsley from the Jungle, they may find her in the background layer of 4-3 Tide Pool, warning them about the dangerous lava trap.
- Rescuing Parmesan will have her appear later within the Ice Caves, on a platform seen on the left side of the cave containing the Yeti Queen.
- Parsnip will be found in Madame Tusk's Palace of Pleasure if she was freed earlier.
Angering[]
The player may anger any of the sisters in any of their encounters. When angered, they will attack the player with Crossbow armed with Poison-Tipped Metal Arrows. They do not drop any items on death.
- Angering or killing a sister in Jungle will nullify their quest, and the player will not receive a gift in Olmec's Lair. Rescuing extra sisters will not resume the quest.
- Killing or attacking a sister in Olmec's Lair will instantly anger any others present.
- If a player angers or kills a sister anywhere else, the others will not anger, not hearing about the incident.
