How to unlock the Torchbearer achievement in Spelunky 2 - Definitive Guide
The Star Challenge can found on either version of 4-2 but the consensus is that Tide Pool is much easier than Temple, so I would probably go for that one.
To start it, find Tun on the way to the exit and give her 25k gold (like the shopkeep, Tun accepts Gold Idols if dropped in her shop). Once inside, you will have 30 seconds to light every torch in the room. There are many torches laying around so don't be afraid to throw a few around and then pick up another. If you're standing at the top ledge facing the wall, you can throw a torch against the wall, lighting the torch in front of you and then falling down and lighting the torches on the way down as well.
Obviously, the easiest way to do this challenge is either with Vlad's Cape or the jetpack although they are not necessarily required. If you're just trying to knock out this achievement, I would suggest unlocking the shortcut to start on 3-1, finding a jetpack to steal on 4-1, and selling an idol on 4-2 to get into the challenge.

Entering the Star Challenge works largely the same as the Moon Challenge, only this time you will see a sign with stars inside the hut. The Star Challenge appears on either the Tide Pool or the Temple of Anubis and will always spawn on either 4-1 or 4-2. It will cost $25,000 gold to enter the Challenge and you will find a couple of torches lying on the ground and a large amount of unlit wall-mounted torches scattered throughout the subspace. To complete the Challenge you will have a short time limit to light all torches in the room so be quick. It is very useful to have some sort of mobility, like the jetpack or some Spring-Shoes for this challenge but it is doable without. Do be careful not to hit yourself with any torches you throw, especially when you have some sort of pack item on you, since it can explode if you’re not careful. The pitching mitt is also a useful item for this challenge, since you can use it to throw a torch perfectly horizontally, lighting all torches in a straight line.
