8 Ways You Can Accidentally Break Popular Video Games

While playing Spelunky, you'll come across various Shopkeepers who can sell you certain items that will aid you in your adventure. You can buy stuff like Bomb Bags, Climbing Gloves and Parachutes, but, for the love of god, do not do anything that might irritate the Shopkeeper himself, because if you do, you'll unleash one of the toughest NPCs in the game who will do whatever he can to make sure you die.

There are a ton of ways you can anger a shopkeeper, and a lot of them are easy to do accidentally. Of course, if you steal something from their store they'll immediately turn hostile, but even if something happens to them while you're offscreen, they'll always blame you - even if it wasn't your fault.

As a result, it's highly likely that you'll end up having a furious Shopkeeper trying to kill you at some point, and they're by no means easy to get rid of. These guys carry a powerful shotgun that can destroy you in a single hit, and they can also stunlock you, making them very hard to deal with. Plus, annoying just a single Shopkeeper will turn every Shopkeeper in the game against you, so you'll no longer be able to buy any goods, and you'll be attacked on sight. It essentially causes you to live in a permanent state of fear, which, for most people, will make the experience a lot less fun.

It gets worse, too. The Shopkeeper will also camp the exit for the stage you're currently on, so even when you near your goal and you think you've reached safety... you can still get blasted in the face.
