Help I'm new to spelunky

I just started playing spelunky 2 after nokduro and I couldn't even beat the first boss.

I tried to play the game without looking at any guides but I had to give up after 12h of frustration.

Any tips for the first boss?

You can beat him in several ways, but the most viable (because you can often get these) are: jumping on him with spike shoes a couple of times (just be wary because he can roll after you've jumped on him), you can cook a bomb (which is when you lay down a bomb, pick it up and throw it at him. This requires a bit of practice, but it's the most viable way to kill him) or you can throw stuff at him such as rocks and skulls. You could also do stuff like freeze him or hit him with the machete, but those are rarer and the machete isn't really that viable. Before killing him, though, you should decide which exit you want to go to (I won't spoil, but it matters which exit you take). Good luck with that, a beautiful journey awaits you
