And today we're going to help you complete the game's first biome - The Dwelling. It is very similar to the caves of, but with some very important distinctions. Things are both the same and very different, and even the caves got a huge improvement in difficulty. If you're constantly dying and can't figure out how to survive, we've got some tips to help you win - or at least, some tips to keep you from dying so often.

Exchange Default movement à Walk in the Options menu. You will desperately need a finer level of control.
Bring your pug dog to the end of the scene to +1 PV. In co-op, each player gets +1 HP. It's incredibly useful, and there is no max. Avoid taking hits and you can get +8 PV by the time you reach the jungle.
Use rocks, skulls, and other trash to trigger Arrow Traps early - this same trick also works for many other traps. You need at least four blocks of space to avoid an arrow.
Prioritize boxed cases. These crates usually contain extra bombs / ropes, so grab them whenever you can. If you're lucky, they'll even drop some additional helpful articles.
Bombs always blow up squares within a radius of two blocks. If you want to blow up a hole without wasting bombs, figure out how many it will take to get to where you need to go first! Or carefully place the bombs to save Monty without detonating him.
Arrows shot from arrow traps are large long range weapons at the start of the game. Catch them and throw them to deal bonus damage to tougher enemy types, or safely take spiders or snakes from afar.
Don't stand too close to the vases when you break them. There might be a monster inside! Try tossing them out or get into the habit of whipping twice.
You can pick up downed enemies and throw them in spikes for a quick defeat. Do it right before they wake up! If you run into trouble with them, just take a stunned enemy and throw them somewhere else.
Skeletons hide in piles of bones. Try to jump on it first! Or crush them with your whip from the bottom.
Watch out for moles. You can spot them moving around in the dirt. They are extremely fast! When they appear, be ready to charge them. Spider webs are a great way to trap them.
Did you find a strange altar? You can get a boon from Kali if you bring a enemy body dead at the altar. Do not detonate it with a bomb or you will be cursed. This is a very bad thing.
Try to hurry through each level. Do not wait - after 3 minutes a murderous ghost will appear and slowly hunt you down!
Did you find a weird vase? There is a strange vase with a ghost face above. Destroy the vase and you will immediately summon the killer ghost! The vase causes a strange effect on enemies, and breaking it rewards you with a +5000 trinket. If you know where the exit is, go ahead.
Traders always have a shotgun! You can get a free shotgun to defeat them - watch out, they drop bombs when they're downed. If you beat a trader, they will all be alerted.
Sometimes you will spot a treasure chest guarded by an armed trader. You don't have to irritate traders - look for another door, then bomb the ground to reach the treasure to avoid a fight.
Cave turkeys are not your enemies. It's a mount! Jump on them and climb until they're tamed. Turkeys give you a bit more protection, and they have a floating double jump that can help you reach high places or avoid taking fall damage.
Whenever there are cave turkeys, there are turkey wranglers! Look for an NPC with a turkey cage. Hand over the other two turkeys from the scene and you'll earn a key. The key opens the nearby door which usually contains a nice treasure.
Want to keep a turkey? Just steal one from the wrangler after earning your key! It doesn't drive the traders crazy, but the wrestler will chase you! He's armed with a bow rifle - which is much easier to dodge than a shotgun.
In the last area of the caves you meet a giant caveman called a Quillback. His scroll smashes the ground - stay above and drop bombs to defeat him. He will always drop a cooked turkey, giving you +1 HP instantly. Try to drop a bomb when he's not looking, then pick it up and throw it when it's about to explode.
Deep in the caves you will meet Mom's tunnel. This character can dig a shortcut, allowing you to move forward and practice the later stages of the dungeon. Donate to him to start working on the Jungle Shortcut. You'll have to visit him a few times to complete the tunnel, but it's worth it.
