How to unlock the Excavator achievement in Spelunky 2 - Definitive Guide

The Moon Challenge can be found in levels 2-2 or 2-3. The shop sign displays a crescent moon and has a blue robed mystic women inside. You need to pay her $10,000 to start the challenge. Once paid go through the door behind her and collect the Mattock (Pickaxe). Now attempt to collect treasure/loot from adjacent rooms by picking through the walls. Eventually the Mattock will break, the challenge finishes and the achievement will pop.

Hey Lordacris, great guide. One tweak though, the Moon Challenge can also be found on 2-4.

Note that you can also get this achievement by dying while doing the Moon Challenge. On my first attempt, I was digging horizontally when I pickaxed right under a stone block, which fell down and killed me. Then the achievement popped. :-)

On either 2-2, 2-3 or 2-4 (Jungle or Volcana) , you will encounter a character in blue hooded robes standing in front of a wooden structure with a wooden moon sign above it.

The character will ask for 10,000 gold for you to participate in the Moon Challenge. Pay her and enter the door behind. You will be given a Mattock (pickaxe) and a four leaf clover (this extends the ghost timer by 2 minutes.) Once you pass through the laser trap, use cn_X to dig through the lower area, you should find an assortment of gold, jewels and item crates as well as Hon Yi's Bow.

Once the Mattock is destroyed through usage, the challenge will be complete and you've got the achievement.

The Moon Challenge will always spawn on one of the four floors of the second area (either The Jungle or Volcana) You can recognize it as a large wooden structure, with a hooded figure, Tun, standing in the middle. To enter the Moon Challenge, talk to Tun and spend $10,000 gold to enter through the door. Inside the door, you will find a very large subspace with a Mattock (a kind of pickaxe) in the middle. The challenge is completed when the mattock breaks so break as much blocks as you can with it, possibly collecting some money or items in the progress. There is no time limit so the only thing you’ll have to watch out for are traps and scorpions you might find in the subspace but overall the challenge part of this trophy is greatly exaggerated.

Beaver's first test. Found on level 2-2, 2-3 or 2-4 in the Jungle or Vulcan. Costs $10,000. You don't have to find a magic bow. You just need to break the pickaxe.
