How to unlock the Seen It All achievement in Spelunky 2 - Definitive Guide
Full Journal. Wow, we've come a long way. Okay so here is how I'm going to make this guide. I'm going to drop a link that takes you to every single entry in the game so you can compare your journal to that and then I'm going to go through and talk about all of the entries that are not 100% obvious (I'm not going over how to unlock the spider from dwelling) OR do not have already have a guide written for them in another achievement.
If you've been following the other guides and have completed most of the other achievements, this guide should fill in the blanks for the stuff that you are missing.

Unlock Seeds
The easiest way to do a lot of these is with a seed. A seed is a fixed level configuration that you can play again and again with all of the same factors including what is in the shops, to what is found in crates, and even the Ushabati will always be the same. While most achievements restrict you from using seeds, ALL journal entries can be unlocked with seeds. To unlock seeds, you need to have a total of 16 characters unlocked, this includes the 4 default characters. There are 20 characters so this gives you a buffer of 4 characters. I will say, I did not get seeds unlocked when I ran through the game, even after unlocking all 20 characters, so hopefully it is patched and fixed, but fair warning. I was also playing the game in a very strange, and not normal way, so, who knows. If you've ran through the other achievements, you should easily have 18 or 19 characters but in case you missed some, here is a link to all characters and how to unlock them, in order. The only one you would not normally come across when getting the other achievements is The Pilot in the UFO ship (explained later in this guide) and maybe Dirk Yamaoka who is found in Sunken City inside of a Goliath Frog. The Goliath Frog is the giant frog that is in the wall and spits out other frogs. Throw some bombs to kill him and his mouth will be agape. Walk in his mouth and look around until you find the coffin. Also Tina Flan can easy to miss, she is deep underwater in Abzu. You cannot unlock characters in seeded runs including Daily Challenges.

The best seed we have in my opinion is 9F30189E. This seed may not last forever. Every time there is a patch, there is a risk that all seeds get changed so if this seed doesn't work for you, leave me a comment below and hopefully we can find a good seed. With this one right now, you get a jetpack on 1-2. There is an altar on 1-2 and 1-3, 2-2, 4-1, and 5-1. Guaranteed Eggplant Child. Ushabati is Smiling Wood Snake, very close by the door.
Places
14. Eggplant World - The only place that is not mentioned in a guide is Eggplant World. This is also by far the hardest journal entry to unlock. If you're missing another place entry, it's probably Duat, go check out my Tablet of Destiny guide for more information on Duat. To get to Eggplant World, you must awaken the Eggplant Child, and bring him all the way to 7-1. Use the seed mentioned above and get to 5-1. Here there is a present for sale at the top and a kali altar at the bottom. Buy the present, take it down, sacrifice it, take the eggplant back up to the top. Place a bomb where the pet was and walk through to sacrifice the egegplant on the grey altar. Walk in to awaken the Eggplant Child and then leave to the next level. The Neo Babylon levels are hard, I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I wish we had a seed that was easier but this is all we have for now. Take your time, use TONS of bombs to blow up the electric balls, put the Eggplant Child to sleep as soon as every level starts. He will sleep for two minutes straight before waking up but you can continue to pick him up and put him back down to reset the timer. Grab the Ushabati mentioned above and use it to get to Sunken City, all the while putting that Eggplant Child to sleep again and again to make sure he doesn't kill himself. Once in Sunken City, you're so close, but you absolutely need to make sure this dumb child does not stay in a regen block and delete himself. Also *gestures broadly* all the other incredibly deadly things that exist in Sunken City. Luckily, you don't have to go far. Take the Eggplant Child and place him on the lap of the statue that looks like his mother (it is, this quest is a metaphor for raising a child, congrats). You can tell its her because of her massive cleavage. Next to her a door should open. Walk inside and you have reached eggplant world. Eggplant World is the safest area in the whole game, nothing wants to kill you, nothing wants to hurt you, nothing can be aggro-ed, no ghost can spawn. Technically there is a Ghist Shopkeeper here but I'm going to pretend you're not cursed. Kill one of the eggplups, kill one of the eggplant ministers, go whip the Eggplant King in the face, grab the crown he drops, pick up the 99 health he drops, you're good to go.
People
1-20 Unlockable Characters - As mentioned above, each playable character also has a journal entry. All characters are found throughout the game worlds except for Guy Spelunky who is unlocked after beating Tiamat and Classic Spelunky who is unlocked after beating Hundun.
30. Caveman Shopkeeper - Found randomly in backlayer of any normal level, so not including boss levels or special levels. He just a caveman selling cavemen things such as rock or arrow. Backlayer exploration is easiest in the Jungle so look for caves there until you find him.
31. Ghist Shopkeeper - The ghist shopkeeper is most easily found on 1-4 of Dwelling, directly underneath where the boss is. To enter the ghist shop, you first have to be cursed. You can do this on the 1-4 level but then you will have to deal with the ghost chasing you while you are trying to access the ghist shop. It is sometimes easier to get cursed on 1-3 and then proceed to 1-4 while also keeping in mind that being cursed makes the ghost spawn 30 seconds earlier than usual. To curse oneself early, you must be hit with a ghost pot. Find a ghost pot and carry it with you until you find a horned lizard. Stand all the way in the corner facing the horned lizard and let him roll into you. This will curse you without taking any more damage, as you'll be at one health. Once you get to 1-4 and are cursed, all you have to do is get the boss to roll around and destroy enough terrain to make the door visible or if you have enough bombs, you can bomb out the floor until you reach the door. It is pretty deep in the ground, usually directly in the center and a few blocks above where you spawn from the first shortcut. Find the door, walk inside. This should unlock the entry, if not, steal from him and die when he chases you.
36. Sparrow - Sparrow is an NPC that also comes with a quest. The easiest way to start this quest is to steal from a shop without hurting the shopkeeper in either 1-2 or 1-3. To do this, walk the item you want to steal over to the door and place it down. Then take an item you don't want to steal and put it in the corner of the shop, having the shopkeeper follow you to the corner. Now run over, grab the item by the door, and run out of there, making sure to jump right as you get past the opening so as to jump over any shotgun pellets. Now continue through the game until you get to 2-1 on either Volcana or Jungle. Somewhere in the level there will be a wooden cave entrance that will lead you to meet Sparrow. Continuing this quest will also get you the Tusk Idol, described below.
37. Beg - Beg is another NPC that comes with a fun quest. To meet Beg, you need to first blow up or damage a Kali Altar and then he will appear on the very next altar you see. Using the seed mentioned above is the easiest way to do this as there are tons of altars through the run. Use a bomb on the first altar in 1-2 and he will appear in 1-3 on the next altar you see, unlocking the journal entry. Continuing this quest will net you the True Crown, described below.
38. Eggplant King, described above in Eggplant World descript.
Beastiary
20. Lavamander - Possibly one of the hardest journal entries in the game, definitely one of the most annoying. There are two ways to unlock this. The first way is to get extremely lucky with a drill kill. When you drop the giant drill in Volcana, there is a small chance that a Lavamander happened to be standing right underneath it and died, granting you the journal entry. The second way is to kill it yourself. Lavamanders live in big pools of lava and can usually be first spotted as the top of the head goes back and forth under the lava. When you get close to the pool, he will pop his head up to say hello. The next time he says hello, he will spit TONS of LAVA at your FACE, instantly killing you if you're not ready for it. When he is in the lava, he cannot take any damage so what we have to do is drain the lava out from under him. Place bombs in some oppurtune spots in the corners of the pool and have the lava drain outwards. If you can create a hole for the lava to drain that he cannot get through, that's perfect. Either way, this is going to be messy and there is no perfect way to do it unless you get the perfect scenario which won't always happen. Try to have as many bombs and ropes as you can for manuverability. A Freezeray is also very clutch in this situation as shooting lava actually destroys it. Once enough lava has been drained away from the Lavamander, he will cool off and turn purple. He will also start jumping around desperately looking to find lava again so he can become invincible. Even when he is purple and vulnerable, he is still immune to damage from bombs, I don't know why. I try to steal bombs and a shotgun from shopkeepers on 4-1 or 4-2 when looking for these creatures so as to have the best opportunity to kill them. Once he turns purple, shoot him with the shotgun if you have one or jump on his head 10 times. He doesn't bleed so it looks like he's not taking damage, but the head bounces will kill him, even faster if you have spike shoes. Good luck with this guy. If anyone finds a Lavamander seed, let me know in the comments below, thanks.
30. Giant Humphead - Found in the water on 4-2, pretty hard to miss.
39-42. Enemies found in Duat, explained in the guide on the Tablet of Destiny.
48. Lahamu - Found in the Mothership on 5-1. The correct way to find the Mothership is to use the Alien Compass to have it point directly to the entrance which is at the very bottom of 5-1 but that takes forever so we're going to cheese it. Using the shortcut to 5-1, get down to the bottom of the level with hopefully taking no damage. If you don't want to go through the caves with the Yeti bosses, you can grab onto the tile beneath the cave entrance and drop directly below to grab on to another tile, it works every time if you grabbed onto the correct block. ->https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/spelunky/images/e/e3/Wet_F.... Now at the bottom of the level, the door to the mothership is one of three places. It's either 5 tiles away from the left wall, 15 tiles from the left wall, or six tiles from the right wall. Left wall is easiest though. So go to the left wall and count 5 blocks over, place a rope down and fall straight down, you may have to jump off the rope to position yourself on the 5th block placement. If you picked the correct one, you'll land, maybe take some fall damage and if wrong, you'll fall to your death. Try again until you get the right entrance. Walk inside, bounce up and kill the giant alien looking thing in the center with two bombs before she locks on to you and shoots you. Also in the Mothership you'll want to kill one of the Proto Shopkeepers, the weird looking cronenberg things. On the left or right side wall you can also find a green pod holding someone inside. Break it open to unlock The Pilot. If you have defeated Lahamu, there is also a Plasma Cannon in the center area above where she died. That's four journal entries in one.
49. Proto Shopkeeper - Discussed right above this.
53. Tadpole - Little swimmer found in the water of Sunken City levels. Can also be found if you wait for a Goliath Frog to spit one out.
62. Celestial Jelly - The entity that guards the door in the Cosmic Ocean. Make sure to try and be killed by him when you get to there.
65. Queen Bee - Most easily found on the Jungle levels. Restart at the first shortcut again and again until you get a level that starts with "You hear an incessant buzzing...". Find the bee hive, find the entrance to it and try to lure the Queen Bee over to you. Once she is close by, drop bombs inside the hive and then quickly leave the bee hive. You can also just choose to be killed by her for the entry.
67. Golden Monkey - Sacrifice a Golden Idol on a Kali Altar in any level to get the Golden Monkey
69, 70, 71 - The three pets you can rescue. Go into the gameplay settings and make sure that all pet styles are turned on so that you can rescue each one for the journal entries.
72. Ghist - Different from a ghist shopkeeper (I think). They can be seen and interacted with if you are cursed and find a dead body (a body that was dead when the level loaded) BUT they can get a journal entry added if you take a picture of them, even if you can't see one. A guarenteed spot for one is on 4-2, in the bottom right, underwater, there is a cave entrance that leads to a dead body and there is a ghist there, but you can't see it. Kill the giant humphead and he will drop a camera. Take the camera into the cave and take a picture of the dead body for the journal entry.
78. Mech Rider - A rare mount (I think) that can found on either the Ice Caves or Neo-Babylon. If you see an one, kill the enemy inside and jump in for the entry.
Items
11. Alien Compass - Follow the Van Horsing questline, (more info on the Royal Headwear achievement) free him on 4-1, have him kill Vlad in Vlad's castle, and then after that you need to go to the Temple. On 4-1, you can find him in a room in the backlayer. He will be cursed and there he will give you the Alien Compass.
17. Eggplant Crown - Stated above.
18. The True Crown - After you meet Beg in a run (stated above), curse yourself (strat in Ghist Shopkeeper notes above), and then the next time you see a Kali Altar, Beg will be there again and this time he will give you the True Crown. You have to be cursed when you start the level, cursing yourself when you see an altar will not work. Have fun the True Crown, it's insane.
22. Royal Jelly- After you have the Kapala, the next points you get from sacrifices on the altar will net you a free royal jelly, healing you for six health. You can also get one from killing a Queen Bee.
40. Broken Sword - The Broken Sword is a useless item that you get from using the Clone Gun on Excalibur. To do this, get either the Royal Crown or the Hedjet, get to 4-2 Tide Pools, win the Star Challenge to get the Clone Gun, and then pull Excalibur out and clone it. Pick up the cloned sword for the entry.
41. Plasma Cannon - Stated above with the Mothership entries
48. The Tusk Idol - Right after you meet Sparrow in her quest line, kill her if you don't have a skeleton key on you and take the skeleton key that she drops. This can be done most easily by climbing back up the ladder and dropping some bombs down below. After that, proceed until you find Madame Tusk's Dice House in Tide Pools and use the skeleton you picked up to unlock the door above the bodyguard. Go inside and steal the Tusk Idol for a journal entry.
53. Elixir - This is the prize that you receive for finishing the Star Challenge in Temple. It gives you double healing and protects you from one instance of curse or poison. Very useful for Cosmic Ocean runs.
Traps
All traps should be found pretty naturally throughout your runs if you are fully exploring each world. The only two traps that are in temple are the two different type of crush blocks. All I'll say is make sure that you get every journal entry for all four of the traps that are in Sunken City so you don't have to go there more times than you have to.
That should just about cover it. If there are any more that you think should be on this list, let me know and I will consider adding them, thanks!

All I'll say is make sure that you get every journal entry for all four of the traps that are in Sunken City so you don't have to go there more times than you have to.
That should just about cover it. If there are any more that you think should be on this list, let me know and I will consider adding them, thanks!

Just a couple tips I’ve noticed: for the lavamander, like any other enemies, you do not have to kill him to add him to the journal, you can let him kill you, that will also work. Dying by the lava he spits doesn’t count, you have to take damage from his body. But get yourself to 1 HP and go through volcana until you find him and jump at his body and die and that’s it.
Also, you do not need to pickup Excalibur to get the broken sword. You can clone it while it’s still in the ground. So it is easier to take the shortcut to tide pools and get the clone gun and broken sword from there without having to get the helmets. You can farm money at the dice game for the 25k and possibly get a jetpack too to make the star challenge easier.

Dying by touching the lavamander is easier said than done. Jumping on his head does not hurt you or him so that's out of the question. Running into his body does do damage to you but his body is in the lava by default so already you're at the point where you're bombing out some walls and floors and by that time, there is lava everywhere and it can be very difficult or lucky to get close enough to him to run into him without touching the lava. It's definitely something to consider if you find yourself in that situation though.

Apart from the Challenge trophies, this will likely be the last trophy you will earn. It basically requires you to see everything in the game and to find every single secret so it won’t come easily. Thankfully, this trophy is somewhat unique, in that does not have the “non-seeded single-player run” requirement, meaning that you can use seeds to your heart’s content. You can find more information on using seeded runs in the dedicated section in the The Full Spelunky . Using seeds is especially recommended for the more complicated and difficult secrets, which you can find at the bottom of this section.
In filling out the Journal, you are also finally allowed to use multi-player so feel free to invite a buddy if you think it might make finding the last pages of the Journal easier. Also, on a side note, while the game does not specifically require you to unlock every character for the Platinum, it does require you complete the Journal entry for every unlockable character. This means that if, for whatever reason, you failed to find an unlockable character, you can use online multiplayer to find someone that does have this character unlocked and kill them or get hit by them, to still get the Journal entry, without having to go back to find and unlock the character. Do also note that unlockable characters will not appear in seeded-runs or in multiplayer runs.
The Journal can be opened at any time by pressing the touch-pad. For every category, it shows you how many entries you have completed and how many you are still missing. The entries are sorted by biome so you can use that to find out where your missing entry can be found. An incredibly helpful source for finding which entries your missing is Spelunky.fyi so be sure to check it if you want to find out where to go next. Note that for most entries, especially enemies and traps, you have to actually interact with them (that means either killing or getting hit by them), before the entry is unlocked. You might find you will still be missing the entries for some enemies you’ve seen before, like the lavamander or the humphead for this reason. Below some easily missable Journal entries are listed, followed by a guide on how get to the to some of the more secret sections of the game. If you’re wondering how to find any of the other secret areas not mentioned here, check the Pilgrim trophy.
Warning: This section contains spoilers for the game's secrets!
Easily Missable Entries and Secrets
Golden Monkey: Awarded to you by Kali for placing a Golden Idol on her altar.
Perci & Poochi: In the gameplay options, you can select which pets appear in the caves for you to rescue. By default, only the dog Monty is selected. Simply select either the cat (Perci), the hamster (Poochi) or all three and you will be able to find them in place of Monty, giving you the opportunity to add them to your Journal.
Queen Bee: Sometimes when entering a floor on either The Jungle or the Temple of Anubis, you will be notified that you “hear an incessant buzzing”. This lets you know that a beehive is somewhere on the floor. After entering, you will find the queen bee, which drops some delicious Royal Jelly when killed.
Lavamander: These giant salamanders will spawn in the lava pools in Volcana. If you get close, you can see their head sticking out, before they splash a wave of lava at you. Getting killed by the lava may not count as an interaction with the lavamander so it is very much possible you are still missing this entry. If you find one, you can consider trying to bomb below it to get it out of the lava pool, after which it will turn a purple colour and he will be susceptible to damage, like bombs, spike boots or a shotgun. Alternatively, you can try jumping on its head while it's still in the lava, which will still net you the Journal entry because you'll get hit (and likely killed) by it. Of course, if you get lucky, one might appear below the drill, which you can use to kill it, although this is not reliable.
Boulder: Grabbing the idol found on the Ice Caves will cause this giant boulder to appear.
Great Humphead: This large Napoleonfish can be found swimming in the water below 4-2 in the Tide Pool. Killing it will always drop a gift, a camera and a Hired Hand.
Ghist: Ghist’s are small ghosts that appear in some places, which you can only see when you are cursed. You do not actually have to be cursed to gain the Journal Entry however. Using the camera kills a ghist, adding them to your Journal. The easiest way to do this is to kill the Humphead on 4-2, which will drop a camera and to use it on the caveman’s body you can find inside the small subspace on the bottom-right of the body of water on the same floor.
Elixir: This item heals you for a lot of HP and is awarded to you for beating the Stars Challenge on the Temple of Anubis.
Clone Gun: This item allows you to clone anything you shoot with it and is awarded to you for beating the Stars Challenge on the Tide Pool.
Broken Sword: This broken version of Excalibur can be found by trying to clone Excalibur with the clone gun on 4-2 of the Tide pool.
Dirk: Dirk is a playable character that is hidden inside the mouth of a Goliath Frog inside the Sunken City. To unlock him, find and kill a Goliath Frog and enter through its mouth, where you should find Dirk trapped in a coffin. As mentioned previously, you could also unlock his Journal Entry by playing with an Online player who does have him unlocked.
Sparrow & Tusk Idol: To gain access to the Tusk Idol, you will have to find Sparrow, who will challenge you to steal it from Madame Tusk. Sparrow will (usually) appear in 2-1 (independent of which path you choose) if you impress her by successfully stealing from a shopkeeper in 1-2. The definition of stealing here is very strict and kind of vague: you have to rob the shopkeeper without hurting him (using the rope tactic counts as hurting him), which you can do by grabbing something from his shop and running out. Be careful, as he will immediately shoot his shotgun so be sure to jump over it or place a rope to dodge him all together. You will know if you did it right if you see the shopkeeper yell “Stop Thief!” instead of his other voice lines. It is unclear whether hurting or killing him afterwards will cause Sparrow to not appear so make sure you run straight to the exit. Try to get shopkeeper forgiveness by 2-1, although it is unclear whether this is actually required for Sparrow to appear. Sparrow can be found in a wooden hut-like structure. When talking to her, she gives you a rope bundle and challenges you to rob Madame Tusk. Later on in either 4-1 or 4-2 of the Tide Pool, you will have to enter the closed door above Madame Tusk's Casino. This can either be done with a Skeleton Key or you can get the key by killing Tusk. Inside you will find Tusk’s Idol. If you haven’t talked to Sparrow earlier in the run, you will only find a note saying that she was there first, making the previous steps a requirement for finding the Tusk Idol.
Ghist shop: The Ghist Shop is a very secret shop located on 1-4, which sells incredibly rare items for a steep price. It can only be entered while you are cursed so make sure to curse yourself somewhere before 1-4. Cursing yourself in the Dwelling can be done by dropping the Ghost Pot on yourself, which can be quite tricky. Consider placing the Ghost Pot on a two tile high platform, placing a sticky bomb on the bottom of the platform and standing below it, causing the Ghost Pot to fall on you. When you are successfully cursed, you will have to find the entrance to the shop, which is directly below the two middle ladders that lead down to Quilback, at around the same height as the door where you exit the subspace, leading to 2-1. This means that you will have to dig around 10 tiles deep, requiring a lot of bombs or using a well-placed bomb in Quilback’s path causing him to fall down, rolling through a deeper layer in the ground. Whichever method you use, it is advisable to try and obtain some extra bombs before attempting this. Upon entering the shop, you will find the Ghost Shopkeeper added to your Journal entry. It should be mentioned that, while all items he sells are very rare, none are impossible to find elsewhere so you don’t have to actually buy anything in the shop to earn the Platinum Trophy.
Beg & The True Crown: Beg is Tun’s Hundun-worshipping brother. He loves chaos and will reward you with The True Crown if he feels you do as well. To make Beg appear, one must first blow up one of Kali’s altars. On the next of Kali’s altars you find, you will find Beg, who will after talking to him give you some bombs before disappearing. Next, you will have to curse yourself, before Beg will appear again. Cursing yourself can be done with either the ghost pot, as described in the Ghist Shop section or by a witch doctor in The Jungle. Whichever way you choose, entering a floor with an altar while cursed, will have Beg standing on it again. Talk to him and he will be impressed by your love of chaos and award you with The True Crown. The True Crown has the rather fitting effect of randomly teleporting you every 22 seconds, often to your death. Note that The True Crown technically counts as royal headwear and can be used instead of the Crown or the Hedjet for obtaining Excalibur or entering the City of Gold. This is however not recommended, as the random teleporting makes any attempt at a normal run while having this item a fool’s errand.
Secret Areas:
Duat: The Duat is a secret area that requires you to sacrifice yourself on the large altar in the City of Gold, while carrying the Ankh (see A Second Chance and Legendary ). After reviving, you will find yourself in an underworld-like area, with low gravity and many dangerous enemies. The Duat is the Temple of Anubis equivalent of Abzu in that in both places you can slay a boss to obtain the Tablet of Destiny. The Duat-route however is much more dangerous and yields very little benefit to make up for it, making the Abzu-route the more desirable route if one is to obtain the Tablet of Destiny. Moving through the Duat and killing the two (yes, two) bosses at the top will yield you the Journal entries for Ammit, Apep, Osiris and Anubis II.
Alien Mothership: The Alien Mothership is another very secret location, found at the very bottom of the Ice Caves. The entrance is only locatable by using the Alien Compass, although there is a cheeky way of finding it without the Alien Compass, which is explained in the section below. To obtain the Alien Compass, one must first free Van Horsing in 2-1 in Volcana, by bringing a key to his prison. Next, you will have to kill Vlad, in Vlad’s castle along with Van Horsing (he will wait for you at the top of the castle after freeing him). Lastly, you must find Van Horsing somewhere hidden in a subspace in either 4-1 or 4-2 of the Temple of Anubis. Talking to him, he will give you the Alien Compass. The Alien Compass works like a regular compass but it also points to the entrance of the Alien Mothership. Note the entrance to the Alien Mothership is located at the literal lowest tile of the Ice Caves so you should be careful not to accidently jump past it.
Inside the Alien Mothership, you can find the following Journal Entries: Lamahu, Proto Shopkeeper and Plasma Cannon and an unlockable Character, The Pilot. If you are using co-op while entering the Mothership, you will not be able to unlock The Pilot however.
If you want to find the Alien Mothership without the Alien Compass (note that you will have to find the Alien Compass at least once for its Journal Entry), you can use this method. The entrance will always appear at the very bottom of the Ice Caves in one of three locations: 5 tiles from the left, 6 tiles from the right or exactly in the middle of the stage (15 tiles from either the left or right edge of the floor). To find in which of these three locations the entrance is located, pick up a mine and hang from a ledge just above one of the locations, then drop it by pressing . You can hang from the ledge with the mine in hand by jumping slightly past the edge and quickly moving back, instead of crawling towards the edge, which drops your mine in the wrong place. You might have to use some bombs to make sure there is an edge to hang from on the right place as this method won’t work if you just drop it while standing. If you hear an explosion, it means the mine fell all the way down and that the entrance is in different place. If you don’t hear an explosion, it means the mine has landed exactly on the entrance. You can then get to it by placing a rope down and jumping down from it. Be careful though, as the mine is still there. You can clear it by dropping a dead yeti on top of it. Also note that jumping down without any way to slow your descent, will make you take 1 point of fall damage but you won’t fall of the edge. This can be done without any prerequisite items so you are free to start from the shortcut to the Ice Caves, then make your way down through the Wet-Fur section. This method is quite tricky to get right so it might take multiple tries before you manage to get in this way.
Eggplant World: The final and most mysterious secret area of the game, getting to the Eggplant World is likely the task that requires the most luck, patience and skill to complete. It requires you to find the Eggplant Child and carry it to the Sunken City and place it on the mother statue, which will open the red door next to it. This combination of steps, in theory, requires you to combine every single step from Pilgrim and Parenthood . However, since you are allowed to use seeded runs for this trophy, you can ensure that you get a good start, find the present and Kali altar on the same floor and skip having to obtain the Tablet of Destiny, making this much, much easier than it normally would be. Note that as of December 23rd, all seeds have been changed. As of now, I would recommend BEEF5EED, as it yields a Jetpack on the first shop and a chance to get the eggplant on 4-2 (possible by killing the Humphead for it to drop a present). Note that the Eggplant Child behaves largely the same way as a Hired Hand so it will still be a challenge to keep him from harm for the entirety of Neo Babylon. Your most effective method of keeping him safe is to pick him up and put him down, which will make him go to sleep for exactly 2 minutes. Entering the Eggplant World, you will find the Journal Entries for the Eggplant World, the Eggplant Minister, the Eggplup, the Eggplant King and by hitting him, the Eggplant Crown. Note that this area is mostly safe and you won’t be attacked by its inhabitants so you won’t have to worry about dying after you make it this far.
In filling out the Journal, you are also finally allowed to use multi-player so feel free to invite a buddy if you think it might make finding the last pages of the Journal easier. Also, on a side note, while the game does not specifically require you to unlock every character for the Platinum, it does require you complete the Journal entry for every unlockable character.

Most likely this will be one of your last trophies on your way to platinum. More than 90% of the entries will already be open in one way or another. The most important thing is that you can use seeds and play in co-op . So I advise you to bring the Eggplant Child to the Sunken City with the help of seed. For example, I used the DDDDDEEE seed and without any problems in the cooperative, together with my son, reached the Eggplant Kingdom.
