10 MORE Hilarious Ways Video Games Punished You For Being A Dick

3. Spelunky - Shrine Smasher

Spelunky is a charming title that sees you exploring ancient tombs, caverns and other area so dusty they would give and asthmatic a panic attack. In your explorations you’ll likely come across these shrines to the god Kali, and upon these alters you can choose to sacrifice creatures and enemies in order to win her favour.

Doing so nets you some ace loot if you keep feeding her with blood, but should you decide to be a dick to this - admittedly dickish - deity, you’ll end up incurring her wrath. Things start off pretty bad with the spawning of 8 spiders if you destroy one of her alters, then get worse if you destroy more, with a ball and chain being attached to you, limiting your movement.

Yet, you should decide to carry on still, destroying four or more alters, she’ll summon The Ghost; an invulnerable, ever-persistent foe who will kill you in one hit.
