Volcana is a fiery, explosive world, housing many things that are either on fire, create fire, or explode. It has small lava pools with falling platforms, chains hanging from the ceiling, usually with [[Fire Bug|Fire Bugs]] on them, and [[Powder Box|Powder Boxes]] in the walls, which will explode on contact with anything. However, most of these dangers are easy to avoid or traverse, and there is little risk of stunlocks or instant death once you know how Volcana works. Each level may be a dark, dead are restless, or echoed voice levels. In 2-2. 2-3, or 2-4, two unique structures will spawn. On one level, [[Tun#Moon%20Challenge|The Moon Challenge]] will spawn, a challenge in which the player must break a pickaxe supplied by [[Tun]]. It can contain crates, treasures, and will always have a bow. On another level, a drill will spawn in the top layer of the level. Powered by the [[Udjat Eye]] (consuming it in the process), it will drill through the level until hitting the bottom, which will reveal Vlad's castle, which houses [[Vlad]], [[Vampire|Vampires]], and [[Crown|The Crown]], among other supplies and dangers. The drill, however, can be dangerous to use, as it will go through lava, shops and even Kali altars, which may lead to death shortly after activation. The drill is not needed, though, as around 10-12 bombs should be enough to bomb your way down to Vlad's castle. |

Volcana is one of two second areas, being mutually exclusive with The Jungle. It is similar to the fifth world of the original Spelunky, Hell, being filled with lava and fire, but is significantly easier than its inspiration, with many considering it easier than The Jungle (although with higher potential for instadeath by lava). Like most areas, it is four levels long, leading to Olmec's Lair.
Geography
Volcana is a fiery, explosive world, housing many things that are either on fire, create fire, or explode. It has small lava pools with falling platforms, chains hanging from the ceiling, usually with Fire Bugs on them, and Powder Boxes in the walls, which will explode on contact with anything. However, most of these dangers are easy to avoid or traverse, and there is little risk of stunlocks or instant death once you know how Volcana works. Each level may be a dark, dead are restless, or echoed voice levels. In 2-2. 2-3, or 2-4, two unique structures will spawn. On one level, The Moon Challenge will spawn, a challenge in which the player must break a pickaxe supplied by Tun. It can contain crates, treasures, and will always have a bow. On another level, a drill will spawn in the top layer of the level. Powered by the Udjat Eye (consuming it in the process), it will drill through the level until hitting the bottom, which will reveal Vlad's castle, which houses Vlad, Vampires, and The Crown, among other supplies and dangers. The drill, however, can be dangerous to use, as it will go through lava, shops and even Kali altars, which may lead to death shortly after activation. The drill is not needed, though, as around 10-12 bombs should be enough to bomb your way down to Vlad's castle.
Care should be taken when using bombs in Volcana because lava may spill out of pools and block the most convenient route to the exit. Although lava will disappear when it comes with contact with the exit, this takes a long time, increasing the risk of being trapped by the Ghost.
