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

The Sun Challenge can be found in the Sunken City most often on 7-1 but very rarely on 7-2 or 7-3 and it costs 50,000 gold to try it. This challenge consists of being in small room with tons of the hardest enemies coming out of spawners that are located in different parts of the room and you must survive in there for 30 seconds. As soon as the challenge starts, jump up to the closest top corner from where are. Whip the first enemy that comes out of the spawner and place a sticky bomb on the spawner or if you don't have paste, instead place two bombs on the regen blocks that are closest to the spawner. After that, just simply jump up to the frog trap (giant poking spear trap) and stand on top of it. None of the enemies will be able to get you from this point. It's also a good idea to move the enemy that you first whipped, even if they are dead, because the necromancer enemy can bring them back to life and they might start harrassing you or curse you which would not be ideal. Completing the challenge will not only get you this achievement, but also the arrow of light and 24 bombs and ropes. Here is a short vid of me doing it with some worst case scenarios going on (no paste, cursing enemy comes back to life, lots of movement). If you're lucky, it won't be as hard as in the gif. -> https://i.imgur.com/uesBv9t.mp4

The Sun Challenge is by far the most difficult of the three Challenges. It will appear on the Sunken City on either 7-1 or 7-2. If you’re unsure how to get to the Sunken City, see Pilgrim trophy_silver.pngtrophy_secret.png. It should be noted that to unlock the Awakened trophy_gold.pngtrophy_secret.png trophy, you'll likely have to clear the Sun Challenge while having carried Hou Yi’s bow to the Sunken City. For this reason, you might consider saving this trophy for when you have the bow with you, as to not have to do it more than once.
 
The Sun Challenge starts you in an arena-like subspace where a huge amount of enemies will spawn. Your only objective for this challenge is to survive for about half a minute.  Even so, it is very easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of enemies that spawn in a short time. Even having a lot of health is not a guarantee for success, since ample witch doctors will spawn which have the ability to curse you, reducing your health to 1. A possible tactic is to, as soon as possible, place bombs on the enemy spawners, preventing enemies from spawning there. Do be careful not to bomb near the entrance of the challenge (next to the forcefield that activates after entering) as this will immediately stop the challenge, since Tun will think you’re trying to escape. Another useful tactic and probably the most safe, is to go to the middle of the room, place two ropes next to each other above the Arrow of Light and jump between the ropes, trying to jump on any vampires that will fly toward you and dodging the frog traps at the very top.
 
If you manage to hold out until the end of the timer, all enemies will disappear and you will earn this trophy and you will be awarded with the Arrow of Light, a very powerful weapon if used together with Hou-Yi’s bow, along with a large amount of bombs and ropes.
 
It can also be advisable to store a weapon like the shotgun or Excalibur in Waddler’s store, either on 3-1 or 5-1, allowing you to use it during this the challenge. However, since you will likely also want to carry Hou-Yi’s bow to use the Arrow of Light, you won’t be able to carry your weapon to the Sun Challenge if it spawns on 7-2.
