Hey everyone,

Spelunky beginner here. How to make damsel go to exit? Whipping her doesn't exactly help :D

I've only played the old freeware version, but in that, you have to pick her up and carry her. But if you throw/drop her, after she stops being dazed, she'll start running around, and she won't hesitate to run right off a ledge. ; ) On the plus side, if you can get her (and yourself) safely to the exit, you'll gain 1 heart of health back (even if you're already at max!) for your trouble. I would imagine most of this applies to the commercial version as well.

I've presumed that, but still can't find the button to do that :D

You take her in your arms and try to lead her to the exit :)
How to take her in your arms ? The same way as you would take something in your arms (= lift) in the game : you crouch next to it, and while crouched, you push the "whipe" button (you don't have to keep the down and whipe bouton pushed when what you wanted is in your arms).
Now the thing you wanted to lift should be in your arms. It can be thrown by pressing the whipe key (and thrown toward up direction if you look up while you're throwing).

Note : The damsel can pass through the final door while being in your arms, or by herself (if she felt from your arms) if she can walk in front of the door.

Hope this helps :)
Good luck in this great game !

It took me some time to realize Spelunky lets you treat your damsel as ordinary stone :D

Thank you!

Ahah I never thought about it phrased this way XD ! Poor damsel ! You're welcome :)
