2. Introductory Info
========================================

Rayman's world has been invaded by robo-pirates, and they've smashed the core
of the world! It's been broken into 1,000 pieces called lums and they're
making everybody their slaves. Even Rayman himself is captured, leaving his
friends: Ly the fairy and Globox the, er, thing to cook up a plan to get him
out and work towards ending the scourge of these slaving pirates.

I'll assume you know the basic moves already. Even if you don't, they're
explained in-game and would be a waste of space to put here. Do, however,
learn to use the L2 strafing technique effectively. It's important to be able
to stick on a target and move around to dodge their shots.

A few minor points of interest before we delve into the game itself. If you
get stuck and don't know what you're supposed to be doing next hit the select
button. Sometimes the explanation offered by that is stated more clearly than
what characters in the game will tell you.

Don't forget about the Magic Well. There are three of them in the game,
always near a Stone Circle. You can buy upgrades for yourself and eventually
secret games as well. I prefer to take the order of: Run with Load, Rate of
Fire, Rebound 1, Accumulation 1, Rebound 2, Accumulation 2.

The manual has one or two minor mistakes that you should be aware of. It
talks of Super Yellow Lums worth 5 regular yellow lums. These don't exist in
this version of the game; all 1,000 lums are individual pieces to pick up.
Also, blue lums (for breath in the water) don't exist either. There are
bubbles released from the ground underwater which is the most common, and in
the sequence with Carmen the whale she'll give you air bubbles to use. But
never will you encounter lums used for that purpose.

This guide is NOT going to contain the location of all 1,000 yellow lums in
the game, and for good reason: Near the end of the game you're given a radar
that will tell you where they all are! I will note the ones that are not out
in the open or are difficult to get to but work under the assumption that
you're capable of getting the very obvious lums. Should you wind up missing
any anyway, let me know and I'll try to help you find it (and include it in
the guide if it's out of the way enough).

You won't be able to get every lum on your first trip through each stage.
Sometimes you need a special power that you won't get until later. In those
cases I will note them and at the very end of the level you'll see a section
labeled 'UNFINISHED BUSINESS.' This describes how to get those straggling
items after you have the necessary powers.

========================================
3. Game Walkthrough
========================================

You start out on the pirates' prison ship at half health. Globox is thrown in
with you and after a brief conversation he hands over a present from Ly, the
fairy: A silver lum! This strengthens Rayman's fist and he's now able to
punch through the grate leading out of his cell. When you exit the cell
you'll find yourself in a slippery chute with a path or red lums stretching
along it. Steer yourself into the lums to gain some health and once you reach
the end, Globox will join you rather forcefully and you'll both fall back to
the ground.

3.1: Tutorial Area
------------------

Lums: 5
Cages: 1

Not too much to see here, but your first cage and five yellow lums will be
found here. Simply run to the left of the start and find the cavern that the
water is rushing into. Jump and punch the cage twice and you'll free the
familiar spirit inside. The wooden grate will open up and you can proceed.

In the next small area you simply jump from side to side over the water,
gaining ground and picking up three lums along the way. You're taught a few
basic moves as well, but before you enter the next cavern don't forget the
fourth lum behind the waterfall at the end.

Rayman will run into some baby Globoxes who will ask where their father is.
They were separated when Rayman fell, but he promises to find him. Rayman
inquires about Ly and finds out that the pirates have taken her too. Head
into the next area and you'll find the last lum hanging directly in your path
up to the end. Simply stand between the two walls in front of you and hit X
to jump then X again to brace yourself against the walls. Repeat this until
you're up at the top. Another cage holds several Teensies. A brief
conversation reveals that Globox was captured again (didn't take long, did
it?) but you'll get another silver lum that will enable you to shoot energy
blasts from your fists. With that, you're sent into the meat of the game.

3.2: Minisaurus Land
--------------------

Lums: 30
Cages: 0

A brief lesson in swimming and a target dummy await you at the beginning of
this area. Use L2 and the analog to circle-strafe around the dummy, hitting
its  shoulder target eight times. Once you do this, the gate will open and
let you into the rest of the area. Cross the stone bridge, but if you head
left just before you take the path into the forest you'll find a pair of
lums. Jump into the water and follow it to the end to find an underwater
passage that leads to a secluded area with three more. If you follow the
water in the other direction to its source, you'll find another underground
pool with two more lums.

Once you enter the forest a little ways, there's a quick cutscene with
pirates surrounding Rayman and Clark coming to his rescue. Once control is
returned to you, follow the signs and path to the Stone Circle. This is a
central point in the game where you can enter levels and warp to other main
areas without having to run all the way there on foot. Quite handy, though
you have to visit each place at least once first. They repeat that Globox and
Ly are in trouble and tell you to go to the Fairy Glade. Simply head back out
the way you came and you'll find a path near the tutorial area that leads
right to your first real level.

3.3: The Fairy Glade
--------------------

Lums: 80
Cages: 10

If you head straight from where you start, you'll find some lums and a large
mushroom. Before you jump on it, turn to the right and head over to the water
near the corner where there's an underground passage. The first cage and
several lums are here for the taking. Backtrack and jump on the mushroom,
which will propel you upward to hang from some vines. Move along this area.
At the end you'll find a pond with very large lily pads covering it and a
sign that reads 'Swimming not advised.' True to itself, you'll take damage
and be placed back at the beginning of the pond if you jump in the water. As
a rule of thumb, any water that can't be seen through easily is not safe to
jump in.

Hop across the pads and avoid the piranhas that jump across. When you reach
solid ground again, look around and you'll see a cage farther off in the
distance. Shoot it and jump from platform to platform, eventually coming to
another rock tunnel with a sleeping pirate guard in it. He wakes up if you
get near and begins firing. Just use L2 to keep from turning away from him
and shoot him twice to get rid of him. Past that you'll wind up on top of the
vines you were swinging across with a big switch in a wall facing you. Shoot
the switch, which opens a nearby door flanked by baby Globoxes. Before you
run in there, follow the path you're on to its end to find the third cage.

Following the path, you'll run into a green lum. These are important because
you'll return to the spot that you picked one up whenever you die. The path
opens up again into another bridge with an oil facility of some sort. Another
sleeping guard is placed on the bridge and easily dispatched. You'll notice a
purple ring hanging in the air with yellow lums surrounding it. You can't get
there yet, but keep it in mind. Also, there are red and yellow lums beneath
the bridge itself over the water. If you're feeling suicidal, it's possible
to grab the yellow lum just by jumping over the water and using your
helicopter spin to get beneath the bridge before you fall in. The safer way
is to climb most of the way up the oil facility and jump off onto a floating
ball to the right of where you entered this area. It will slowly float
beneath the bridge, allowing you to collect all the lums safely.

Climb up to the top of the facility again and you'll enter a new section. (I
denote sections by anything that requires a loading screen, which occurs
fairly often in this game. As you'll find out, it works to your advantage!)
You'll be at the base of a tree with vines covering it; dispatch the nearby
guard and climb the vines, then ride a little waterslide out into the next
big open area. You'll immediately see a glowing plant-like thing and a cage
calling for help. Unfortunately, you won't be able to do anything about
either of these until much later in the game. Use the vines along the wall to
your right to make your way across the water, avoiding more piranhas. The
path beyond that quickly leads you into the next section.

You'll see part of a ship stuck in the mountain with another pirate guarding
the area. You can't hit this one and he hurls explosives at you! If you look
to the left, you'll see that you can helicopter over to a blocked-off area
with a cage and some lums. This section is also something you can't do quite
yet, so focus on the task at hand. There's a wooden area in the ground with a
big X on it. Simply stand there and wait for him to throw, then get out of
the way. The explosives will blow up that section and give you passage to an
underground area.

Jump across the stuff floating in the water, using your shadow to help
determine whether you're over solid ground or not. You'll come to a place
with webbing on the walls; like the vines, you can climb on this as well.
Some explosive barrels are being dropped from the ceiling as you climb back
up, so always keep an eye above you and be prepared to dodge left or right
quickly, especially near the top.

Take a left as you get to the top and you'll find a switch that will
deactivate the lasers blocking your path forward. After you pass through, a
quick cutscene shows another set of lasers and a switch on a floor above it,
presumably linked together. Head left for now and go up the stairs presented
to you, taking out a few guards along the way. You'll be presented with a
small room that has kegs of explosives available. By standing still near one,
you'll pick it up. For the moment, walk out and backtrack to the previous
room where you'll find a door with another X on it. Lob the keg towards it
with the square button (the autoaim is fairly generous with kegs) and you'll
blow open a secret area with a few lums and your fourth cage.

Pick up another keg and throw it at the X on the pipe in that room, lowering
some grating that can be climbed. This will take you to a pit with a laser
beam roving across the bottom and a closed door on the other side. The switch
to it should be directly beneath your feet on one wall of the pit. Jump off
and helicopter down, shooting at the switch on your way. You'll have to
bounce on the trampoline-like netting a few times at the bottom to get enough
height to pass through the now open door, so be careful not to land on the
laser!

There's another green guard to dispatch who is hiding a few lums behind him,
and as you head downwards again you'll see a purple guard near the switch you
need to hit. This guy fires larger shots than the green ones and takes six
hits with the shots you start out with! Strafe and shoot and eventually he'll
go down, as he's not any brighter than the others are. Hit the switch, run
through the newly deactivated lasers below you, and it's on to the next
section.

A trio of roving laser beams greets you, but they're fairly easily avoided.
Head straight forward, jump over the first one, and run until you reach the
last one and jump over that as well. Head down the stairs and you'll finally
find the prison area where Ly is being held! Search all of the open doors for
more lums and note the fifth cage that is simply sitting on the ground here.

There's a big pipe heading directly from Ly's prison into the wall next to an
open door on the bottom floor. You're told to find the machine and destroy
it, so off you go! By following the hall you quickly find another keg
dispenser and a large room with green slime on the floor and a large machine
at the end. There are three spots on this machine that need to be hit with
kegs and they're all plainly marked with an X. The difficulty is that there's
a bit of a walk from the keg to the machine and after you hit the first X,
enemies will start to come after you from inside the machine. On subsequent
runs you'll have to throw the keg upward with X, shoot the approaching enemy,
and then simply stand still to catch the keg again. You may well have to do
this twice on a single run before you reach your target, so be careful with
that load! Before you actually destroy the machine, take a look around. In
the back left corner of the room you'll find your sixth cage, and freeing it
now will save you running back there.

Once the machine is destroyed, there's a cutscene where you talk to Ly. She
explains the legend of Polokus and the four masks associated with him. Before
she's done, she infuses Rayman with a bit more power and explains that he can
now use the purple lums, the first of which you saw earlier in this level.
Climb back to the top of the room and shoot at the purple lum to start
swinging from it. If you thought you were Tarzan by hanging from vines
before, this should have you beating your chest in no time. You'll have to
climb up between two pipes like you did in the tutorial, then it's off to the
final section!

This section has you using your helicopter move down a long pipe with oil and
fire abounding. Grab the lums as you wander down and stop on each pipe that
crosses the area. The one nearest the bottom has the seventh cage. Head
through the tunnel at the bottom into another vertical area, but this time
you're going up. Use your helicopter move in the air currents to blow you
upward, picking up the yellow lums in each of them. If you need to, stop the
helicopter for a split second to drop and grab a lum at the bottom of the
current before you let it carry you upward again. At the end of this little
section you'll see a pair of purple lums heading off towards a structure in a
wall. Head over there first and collect the lum, then free the Teensie from
his cage. He'll show you the exit to the level. Before you leave, however,
turn back the way you came and follow the purple lums over to the air
current. You'll see a third purple lum this time and you can use it to get to
a hole in the wall. You'll find four lums and cage #8 here. Find the level's
exit and you're done for now. The Teensies tell you that the first mask is
hidden at The Lost Island but that Bzzit, the person who can take you there,
has been captured and is in the Bayou.

What's that, you say? You didn't find everything? That's true, you won't get
everything on your first run. After you've gotten the rain dance move from
Globox you can return and grab the rest, which is detailed in the following
paragraphs.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Head over to the plant you were unable to do anything
about the first time. Use the rain dance to make it grow and give you
platforms to stand on. You'll head through the previously inaccessible pirate
ship and across a long, circular path with several obstacles along the way.
If you've gotten this far, you shouldn't have much trouble handling it
yourself. At the end of it you'll run into a bomb-throwing pirate and a
fairly small platform to work from. In fact, you can't hit him at all and
need to make him throw a bomb onto an X, making your platform even smaller.
It opens up the path back into the ship, however, and you can slip down into
it and finally free the ninth cage. After all that is done, you end up not
more than a few feet from where you started this whole mess!

In the section where you first had to have a pirate throw a bomb onto the
ground for you, if you head off to the left you'll found a lone mushroom and
a wall made of white stones piled together. Do a rain dance on the mushroom
and it will sprout several siblings, then tell you to eat it. Go ahead and
eat it, and you'll grow much smaller! You can jump up the ascending mushrooms
and squeeze through a hole in the wall. Take out the pair of pirates and walk
along the wooden bridge to find another mushroom that wants to be eaten. Take
it and grow back to normal size. Two lums and the tenth cage are your reward
for visiting this area, which hopefully finishes it off for you.

3.4: The Bayou
--------------

Lums: 50
Cages: 6

Head back into Minisaurus Land and follow the paths and signs over to the
Bayou section. You'll know you're on the right path if you see the
minisauruses themselves walking around. There's a purple lum hanging in the
air over water that will kill you, and basically the only way to make the
jump is the leap forward and hit it with a shot before you plunge into the
water. Just have faith and swing to the nearest platform to your starting
point on the left. This path will take you to the bayou itself. A cutscene
will show Razorbeard eating a lum and lowering the total to 999.

Once you start the stage, jump on the floating ball and ride it over to the
next platform. The first cage is in your immediate vicinity in plain view on
the branch. Shoot it and move on. Take the next floating ball to a ladder and
climb it to the next area. There's a switch in view off to the right, shoot
that before you go leaping off into the void. It will lower a bridge that
completes a 'C' shape over the water. Jump onto this bridge but move quickly
as it is unstable and will break and dump you into the killing water after a
few moments. The ladder at the end will take you directly to the second cage.
Destroy it and a purple lum comes out. Dispatch the guard that's right there
and walk over to where the purple lum flew. Swing across it onto another
floating ball, shooting any enemies that fly towards you. Once you reach the
edge of the water, you'll need to jump forward again or you'll be killed when
the ball sinks.

As you land on the next branch, you'll see the third cage hanging from the
bottom of it. You should be able to shoot it if you stand close enough to the
edge thanks to the way it curves. Follow the line of yellow lums down to the
next bridge and platform, but before you move on there's a sneaky yellow lum
hidden below the edge of that platform. If you get close enough you'll see
its wings. Drop down carefully so that you grab the ledge on your way down
and you should get it. Climb back up and continue on.

Use the nearby purple lum to swing around and get a few more yellow lums as
well as cage #4 across the water. Head back onto the path and follow it until
it leads into the next cavern, but before you move inside turn around and hit
the fifth cage hanging at the very end of the bridge section. This isn't
anything like the last level, all these cages are begging to be hit!

The next section finds you locating Bzzit right off the bat. He warns Rayman
that the pirates are coming, and right on cue they drop in. The two green
pirates are easily dispatched, the two purple ones will require two hits
each, and then one drops in that throws more explosives. He'll require six
hits to take care of. Once they're all gone Bzzit is freed and he instructs
you to meet him at the pier in the Minisaurus Plain and he'll take you to the
Lost Island. Fair enough, now you just need to get out of here. Follow the
path around, dodging the barrels that drop at first. When you jump onto the
next section of bridge, the barrels will be rolling towards you instead. If
you hop on top of one, you bounce higher than you would for a normal jump.
You'll need this extra altitude to get one of the yellow lums!

You'll come to a section with water and more barrels running down inclines
into the water. Jump across them carefully and grab another yellow lum
hanging high above the middle section by hopping on a barrel there. This
brings you to a wide-open space with a metal bridge that only goes halfway
across! Move to grab the yellow lum on the left and you'll spot a switch
embedded in the wall to your right. Hit that and a purple lum flies out to
let you get across. Take note of the plant with the translucent clouds
hanging around it before you cross, it's something you'll need to come back
to.

Once you cross, there's an invincible enemy who will run around and try to
hit you. Just avoid him as best as you can and run into the next area. You'll
see a pipe on the left wall with a button on it, several swinging blades, and
a doorway at the end of the hall with lasers along it. Hit the button to
deactivate the lasers temporarily, then run down the hall and through the
door before time runs out. It's not as tricky as it sounds, and if you mess
up you can always just try again.

You're now in a hallway where barrels are constantly rolling in the direction
you need to go. Just slip behind one and run along with it, veering to the
left when the passage allows it. At the edge of ground you'll see the barrels
dropping off onto a ledge below, and if you look to the right you'll see a
yellow lum hanging in the air at the end of a tree branch as well as your
final cage hanging a bit farther away. Grab both and head over to the pipe
structure, using the trampoline-like areas to grab all the lums and free the
Teensie in his cage. He'll let you out of the level.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Head out to the metal bridge that only extends halfway
across the chasm and find the plant that needed attention you couldn't give
to it before. Now you can do the rain dance on it and jump on the leaves that
sprout to get up to the ledge high up. Climb up the vines and start on a
slippery slope, sliding your way down to the bottom and collecting a total of
five lums for this area before it deposits you right at the ending area.

3.5: The Lost Island (The Sanctuary of Water and Ice)
-----------------------------------------------------

Lums: 50
Cages: 2

Back out at the Stone Circle, you may want to drop down and visit the Magic
Well if you'd like to buy a powerup at this point. I like to get Run With
Load early as it makes parts with carrying objects go faster. Rebound is also
nice to have, especially when paired with Rate of Fire. Unfortunately, you
probably won't have enough lums to combine those two for a few stages yet.
When you're done, run over to the pier on Minisaurus Plain like you were
instructed and Bzzit will be waiting to take you over in his boat.

When you arrive, the first cage is disturbingly easy. It's simply hanging in
plain view next to you, so open it. You'll be ambushed by a group of three
pirates when you step onto the beach. Hang back and pick them off carefully.
When you reach the top ledge there's another pirate waiting with a
flamethrower. Use your strafing to pop in, hit him, and pop back out again.
There's a purple pirate behind him that's so eager to hit you that he'll be
pegging the flamethrower pirate in the back as well! Either way, soon he'll
be destroyed. From this top ledge you can jump back towards the trees to pick
up two more lums in midair, then move on to the next area.

Dive into the water in the cavern and head down to find more lums and the
second cage at the end of the tunnel. There are plenty of air bubbles to keep
you from drowning along the way. Follow the rope ladder after you're done
with that bit of sidetracking and you'll find yourself outside again. There's
a slightly tricky yellow lum right in front of you that is best collected by
jumping onto the railing and then out towards it. With the helicopter move
you can make it onto the ground below and to the left before you fall in the
water. There's a room with a cannon pointed at the door, and if you've bought
any of the accumulation powerups you'll be able to light the fuse and blow it
open for more lums. Otherwise, just leave it until you have the power.

There's a large set of double doors guarded by several pirates, two purples
and a bomb thrower. Take them all out, and then continue up a set of stairs
to the right to find a keg dispenser. Blow open either of the doors with an X
on them and you'll find a passage to magic spheres, one gold and one silver.
These spheres are picked up like kegs and must be thrown onto the base of the
same color near the big double doors. Blow open the other door, grab the
other sphere and place it where it belongs, and finally the temple doors will
open. Grab all the lums that are simply hanging around and continue on to the
slide section!

The slide itself is fairly easy to complete. Keep in mind that Rayman will
automatically jump all the gaps so don't try to do it yourself! It may take
you several tries down the slope to pick up all the lums (there's one near
the very end that does require you to jump on your own). Once you reach the
end you'll find the guardian. As soon as he is introduced it shows a
stalactite hanging above his head and purple lums that lead right to it.
You'll need to swing from lum to lum and hit the stalactite. The only thing
that makes this difficult is the fact that he'll be throwing ice attacks at
you now and then. If he dazes you with one and you start to fall, quickly
throw a shot behind you and you may catch the previous lum you were on,
saving you from starting the string over again.

Once he's gone, swing back over and head through the waterfall. You'll pick
up a few red lums and reach the first mask. Congratulations! Polokus will
come to you in a dream sequence and tell you that you need to find the other
three. Upon your return to the Stone Circle, the Teensies will tell you to
head out to the East Plain to find Clark, who can help you open a door that
the pirates created to stop you. The entrance to the East Plain is a bit
deeper within the forest; the signs will lead you there readily.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: You have to have your shots charged up to a certain
point (so that a normal shot is red) to light the cannon before the temple
doors. It'll blow away the door and let you collect the four lums behind it.

3.6 The Menhir Hills
--------------------

Lums: 50
Cages: 8

Once you're in the East Plain, you'll meet up with Clark right away. He leads
you up a path and then shows you how HE opens doors! Definitely not a guy to
have on the opposing team. He runs over to the Menhir Hills, so follow him
into the next stage.

This one opens up with Murfy flying down to tell you about the walking shell
guarding the area. He explains that you can tame it by tiring it out. Instead
of doing that right away, however, head over to the lone stone pillar and
look behind it. There should be two yellow lums nearby and a switch that
opens a wooden grate in the ground. Grab the first cage and five lums down
there, then run around until you tire the shell out (it'll stop in its
tracks). Hop on and ride it across the thorns! Veer to the right of the
stairs and jump off the shell before you hit the wall. It'll run into the
door with the X on it and open that up, exposing the second cage to you. Grab
that and run in the building.

There's a group of pirates immediately inside. Stick to the right wall and
take them out. The best way is to fire a shot at each one of them in turn,
then start again. They're invincible during the animation after they've been
shot, so you might as well spread it around as quickly as possible. There's a
passageway to the left and ahead of you. Take the left one first but be
mindful of a purple pirate waiting to ambush you. Take the third cage, but
for now you have no way to get past the red lasers. Head back and take the
other passage, dropping you into the next section.

As you start it, it's another area much like the beginning of the stage.
There's a bouncy mushroom on the ground that you can use to propel you up to
another mushroom in the tree next to it. Use that one to reach a purple lum,
then swing over to the building atop the start point and grab your fourth
cage. Tire the shell out again and start your second ride, which is
considerably longer than the first. The yellow lums will show you the best
path to avoid the walls and spiky tentacles that come out, so pay attention
to them. About 1/3 of the way through there's a bridge to cross. It's
entirely possible to veer to the left and get on an alternate bridge but
you'll only get some red lums for your trouble and there are yellows that you
have to get on the main path.

At the end of your run you'll jump off of the shell again to let it crash
into another door with an X. There's an open corridor at the side of the
building and a keg dispenser, but it's yet another thing you'll have to come
back to. Run up the stairs and over to the big door with the pirate logo. The
switch right next to it will open it up and lead you down to Clark. As
expected, he's ripped into all the pirates in the area but something's making
him ill. He asks Rayman to help him get a Life Potion, and with that you're
brought back to the Stone Circle, but this time at the Globox House. You can
use a warp there to get back to the Circle at the Minisaurus Plain. From
there, it's a hop, skip, and a jump to the entrance to the Marsh, which is
right next to where you found the bayou.

3.7 The Marshes of Awakening
----------------------------

Lums: 50
Cages: 4

Once you enter this swampy area, you'll find the first five lums quite
readily on lily pads and the netting to your right. The first cage doesn't
count towards your cage total but holds Sssssam, the serpent who's going to
help you through this area. How? By waterskiing along it, of course!

There's precious little to say about this stage. Nothing is kept hidden from
you and all four cages are in the first half of the course. The only
difficult parts is getting some of the lums off of the jumps, particularly
the two hanging above a large mound just past the second big monster that
pops up in the second half. Veer hard right and hold L2 to accelerate and
you've got a chance of collecting them. Be sure to accelerate again as you
reach the piranhas for a cool little jump through that area. Sssssam gives a
tearful goodbye once you reach the other side. Don't go in the cavern just
yet, but instead follow the path to some yellow lums on a lily pad and just
beyond. If you follow the path farther still, there's a hidden cache with a
few more lums that you'll need. Now you can go back and break open the final
cage with the Teensie inside. Don't follow him but instead take the other
path in the road and you'll find the entrance to the Cave of Bad Dreams.

3.8 The Cave of Bad Dreams
--------------------------

Lums: 0
Cages: 0

That's right, nothing at all to collect here. You'll run down and find a
purple river with platforms on either side and purple lums to help you get
around. There are bones on the wall to climb, and after a while you'll look
out and see a large column that has bones on all sides of it. Jump out
towards that column and helicopter to it, then climb up to the top. Quickly
jump off again towards the next one, because it'll start to sink! There are
three in a row to contend with, then it's back onto firm ground.

Drop down onto the platform far below you. There's a golden base for a magic
sphere and several enemies about that are basically heads with long arms
coming out of them. Destroy them all and you'll get the sphere to go on the
base. Put the two together and the platform lifts up, revealing a hole in the
ground to take you to the next area. This time it's two bases for magic
spheres! Head up and to the left of the door and we'll tackle that one first.

You'll be at one end of a large purple pond. Jump onto both skulls floating
in the water. The second one will lift you up to a position to jump onto a
rotating platform. Jump from there to the stationary ledge when you swing
around, then onto the next rotating platform. Finally you'll make it to the
ledge with the silver sphere. Grab that, then - yes, you have to haul it back
the way you came! Throw it onto each platform and jump after it when it lands
safely. If it lands in the water, no worries, it'll appear again at the spot
that you last threw it. It may take you a little time, but there's no limit
here. The 'head start' that you're given by the master of the cave lasts
until the very end, however long it may take you to get there.

Once you finally haul that sphere back, take the right fork in the road this
time and go after the gold one. A purple lum leads you to a skull on a long
bony arm. Jump on it when it's near and it'll give you a ride to another
platform. You'll have another purple lum and a skull after another jump, then
a few shadowy enemies to destroy. Yet another skull will bring you up to
where the gold sphere itself resides. This time you get a break, instead of
backtracking you just toss it over to the next platform, then again to the
ledge where you first started the room. Much easier than the first one. Once
both spheres are in place the door opens and you get a few red lums. You can
break the crystal in the room with a shot, exposing a hole and leading you to
the next section.

The master of the cave finally comes after you at this point and it's a race
down yet another slippery slope for survival! There are going to be more
crystals in the way, so shoot as many that are near you as possible. I prefer
to stick to the right way, as that seems to have fewer obstacles than
anywhere else does. As before, don't do any of the jumping yourself! Rayman
will automatically take all the jumps unless he's going too slow and in this
case you're going to get chomped and have to start again if you're not moving
fast enough anyway.

Once you clear that little section, you drop into an actual battle with him.
He'll spit a few fireballs at you and then shoot skulls your way. You'll want
to shoot those skulls to stop them, then jump on them. You should be able to
shoot three of them in a row and jump across to where he is. When you do,
he'll move away and start the process again. You'll have to do the same thing
over and over, using his skulls to cross to the next platform and chasing him
through his own domain. After you've chased him three times, the next will be
using purple lums to get closer to him while he's shooting fireballs at you.
Then it's back to more platforms and skulls to get closer to him, ending in
an extra-long jump that requires 5-7 skulls to get across. Once you do this,
he's finally beaten and offers you his treasure. You can choose to take it or
not. If you take it, you're treated to an amusing (and slightly chilling)
cutscene, then asked to choose again. Of course, you'll eventually have to
turn the treasure down to progress. You'll get the elixir of life from the
guardian after being told you made the right choice. Off you go to save
Clark!

3.9 The Menhir Hills, revisited
-------------------------------

Now's a good time to grab any lums or cages you might have missed the first
time. It's a simple milk run through the level again until you run into
Clark. When you find him and give him the elixir, he'll be a new man!
Personally, if I were Rayman I'd be a little frightened of that guy with the
look he was getting in his eyes and all. But at any rate, he busted through
the next door with the greatest of ease, so follow him! After you make a
quick left and grab the three yellow lums in a small secluded area easily
missed, of course.

Go past Clark (for such an energetic guy, he didn't go very far!) and into a
room with a shut door. Hop on the crate and use the purple lums above you to
swing up to a ledge with a more convenient opening for you. Go a little
higher first, though, and find another ledge with a single yellow lum and
your fifth cage. Drop into the next room and hit the switch so Clark can get
through. He'll quite happily charge through the next door for you.

You'll fall into the third and final section with a walking shell to ride.
Jump onto the stump right next to you and you can ride a purple lum over to
cage #6. Then run over to where the shells are coming from and climb up the
vines in that alcove to find more lums and cage #7. This ride involves some
falling rocks. Just stick to the left side through the middle section to grab
the lums and use the square button for acceleration so the last rock doesn't
fall over and block the path before you can get there. The rest of it should
be relatively safe for you. A cutscene shows you riding that missile into the
end of the stage, and that's that!

Back in the Stone Circle, you'll learn that Globox has been captured. Of
course, you really learned this some time ago but, er, you've been busy.
Right? Right. Follow the path to the Menhir Hills (if the sign confuses you
and you wind up at a spot blocked by rubble, you're on the right track; just
turn around and follow that path until you get to the missile), grab the
walking shell, and ride it back to blow apart that loose rock. Follow it into
the next stage.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Head into the first building as per usual and revisit
the red lasers that you couldn't get past before. Go to the machine in the
room (not the lasers themselves! The cloud icon can be a bit hard to see
here) and do the rain dance, destroying the lasers. You'll get four lums for
your troubles.

At the end of the second missile run, instead of going up the stairs and into
the building, look for a door leading into the side of the structure. Light
the torch inside and take a keg in there, using it to fly across the big pit.
You'll find two more lums and can throw a keg up into the air to catch cage
#8.

3.10 The Canopy
---------------

Lums: 50
Cages: 3

As soon as you take a few steps into here a spider will assault you. You can
stay and fight or run out onto the webbing and follow it around on the walls.
As long as you stay moving, the spider won't hit you. There are a lot of
yellow lums to grab around here and a cage hanging directly beneath the
platform you need to get to at the top. Grab everything and snag a second
cage as soon as you exit that room, which should bring you up to 22 lums and
2/3 cages right off the bat. Not bad!

Jump across the chasm and helicopter to the other side, grabbing onto the
webbing. The spider will follow you! He might not make the jump but I've seen
him scuttle right along one of the side walls only a moment after, keeping
good pace. Jump down the hole in front of you and get into the next section
before he catches up.

Once you drop down, head to the left and dispatch the single guard at the end
of the path. There's a sign proclaiming why Globox is being held prisoner.
Look across the chasm and shoot the switch there, freeing your friend. Head
back, then take the other path. Globox will take care of the lasers for you
via his rain dance. Drop down into the next area and guide him to the glowing
plant to have him do his rain dance again, giving you a floating flower to
ride on. Take it across, then hit the X on the dead tree to knock it over and
give Globox a way to walk across. Guide him a bit farther to a wall of flame,
which he will also take care of. There's a single pirate to take out, but
Globox shows that he's rather afraid of them. In a cutscene, Rayman tries to
comfort him and winds up getting another silver lum instead. Your fists are
stronger now!

Globox follows you into the next area (still a cutscene) and you collect a
yellow lum without lifting a finger. But a pirate warship approaches and the
chicken Globox runs away again, leaving you to fight it yourself with your
newfound powers. This is actually a fairly easy fight unless you're extremely
low on health. As the ship passes it will drop off pirates, and every time
its rear is exposed to you, you can get a shot in against it. Just defeat the
pirates as they come, they all only take one shot now and you'll get a red
lum for every successful hit on the ship.

Once it's defeated, run back and grab Globox again. He'll take care of the
next set of lasers. A few more pirates confront you and again he chickens out
and has to be grabbed after they're all defeated. Notice how the flamethrower
pirate only requires two hits to be killed now! Once you're through that, a
pair of doors with a red searchlight will present itself to you. Hop on the
nearby crates and use the purple lum high in the air to grab cage #3 and then
to swing over above the doors and grab five extra lums. If you didn't miss
any, for once you should have completely cleaned out a level without extra
powers! Lead Globox to the plant and have him use the rain dance to make it
grow. Just walk into it to use it as a disguise to open the doors. Once
inside, free the Teensie and you're done! Go back to the Stone Circle to
learn that Carmen the whale has been captured and, of course, you're the one
to free her. Off to Whale Bay with you!

3.11 Whale Bay
--------------

Lums: 50
Cages: 3

Head towards the Globox house and talk to the baby Globox next to the
elevator. He'll ask to go to the cave, so pick him up and walk around the
elevator until you find the spot that will cause you both to get on
automatically. (You can't jump!) Take him down to the Whale Bay entrance and
try to sneak by the guards so you can put him in the hole in the wall to the
right. If you don't manage it, just kill the guards and do it as loudly as
you like. Either way, he'll open the door for you and you can now pass
through.

Once inside, hop over to the aquarium-like tank on the right side and dive
in. There's a yellow lum along the way and a switch at the very end that
you'll need to hit. In addition, a fairly tough and very large barrel-like
enemy is avoided for the moment. Just dash through the door and make your way
around the next set of platforms and nettings. The very last netting is one
you'll need to walk across, but first hang beneath it and swing across to
pick up yellow lums and a set of super fists. You get three in each set and
as long as you have even one, your shots will do tremendous damage. Every
time you take a hit, however, you lose one.

Eventually you'll come to yet another pirate-ship-as-part-of-the-landscape
deal, which leads me to wonder whether these guys built up a huge army and
were so strapped for cash that they had to wreck ships into mountains to make
fortresses out of. At any rate, take out the guards in the area and climb up
into the right side of the ship (from where you entered the area). Jump over
to the ledge that's all by its lonesome, then turn around and fire on the
switch that you can now see on the side of the main ship. This will
deactivate the lasers on the far wall, so meander on over through that
entrance. The lasers will pop up again as soon as you pass through, so be
sure you're ready.

A long corridor with barrels rolling down it greets you, and you should deal
with it as in the bayou, just with more frequent hops. Don't forget the
yellow lum that will require a bounce off the top of a barrel. Once through
there you'll be in a watery section with an island off in the distance.
Actually, the water's shallow so you can just jump right down into it and
walk across. A single guard sleeps on the island and needs to be dealt with
appropriately. To your right is a small corridor in the rock with a keg
dispenser. Grab one and run it across the island to the door with the X,
blowing it open to reveal the first cage. This cage has a purple lum, which
you can now use to proceed to the upper level of the same building.

You'll cross into the next section where Murfy explains that Carmen's trapped
here and they want to use her blubber as ship oil. Pretty nasty fate. Dive
underwater and have a look around, there are yellow lums to be had in the
oysters and one near where Carmen herself is kept. On the other side of her
prison is an underwater cavern that leads right into another miniature pirate
ship. There are two ways to go here, you can walk down the ramp or you can
use the lowest path that winds up overlooking the same destination room. If
you go the latter route you'll see four yellow lums high up in there. You
won't be able to come back and get these until very late in the game.
Instead, head into that room and up the small set of stairs to the area
directly overlooking Carmen. Find the switch on the far wall that will
deactivate the lasers and free her.

The curious triangular thing on the wall in the previous room now shows
itself to be a portal for walking shells to come in and harass you. Tire one
out, then ride it back up the ramp to the room you entered the ship in. The
catch is that you're going to be jumping that entire gap. Yes indeed, all of
it. No, you can't jump, that will dismount you. So how, you ask? The only way
I've done it is just to accelerate from the moment the shell started running.
As soon as flames stop spewing from it, accelerate again. You should get
three or four bursts in before the big jump and that may just be enough to
make it. If not, just try again. This one will definitely take several tries
to get it right, so just be patient. Your reward for getting the shell across
and blowing up the far door with it is the second cage and some red lums.

Once you're ready to go, jump back in the water and follow Carmen. She'll
lead you around, letting out air bubbles so you can partially regain your
oxygen meter on a regular basis. Once you get to the next section with her,
she'll complain that the piranhas are stealing the air bubbles. Sure enough,
they'll take them away from you if they get the chance although the effect is
fairly comical when they have to deal with all that air. Follow her to the
sunken ship, where she'll simply start to do circles around the place. To the
left of the sunken ship there's a passage at the ocean floor that will lead
you to a small area with a few extra lums. Grab all the air you need and head
through the ship itself, ending up above the surface a few seconds later.

Climb up the mast of the ship and use the purple lum up there to swing into
the crow's nest. The third cage awaits you there. Still running around the
top timbers of the boat, jump over to a stream headed downhill and slide down
it to collect more yellow lums and take you over to a sandy area. A hole in
the side of the rock can be accessed by cargo net and contains the Teensie
you'll need to free to get out of here.

Once you're back in the Stone Circle, the Teensies say something about
needing Globox and Carmen to get into the sanctuary. Go talk to Globox and
he'll say you should go investigate a cave the Teensies found. He'll follow
you to the elevator, then over to the entrance to the Sanctuary of Stone and
Fire whereupon he'll give you entrance. Steel yourself for hidden lum mayhem!

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Head back into the ship where you freed Carmen the
whale. Remember the four lums that you couldn't get in the room with the
walking shells? Jump over to the little pit of lava and ride it up to that
ledge, adding four lums to your total. Simple but necessary.

3.12 The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire
------------------------------------

Lums: 80
Cages: 8

It's long. It's unpleasant. It's confusing. It must be the second sanctuary!
You start in front of a yawning chasm. Just leap right down and helicopter to
the rock leg atop the lava. Have a look at the amusing sign if you care to,
then march forward. On the next ledge you'll have to take out three bomb-
throwing pirates. They bounce around a bit before actually attacking, giving
you an excellent opportunity to get through unscathed. You'll jump up using a
trampoline netting, below which you can see a cage. We'll come back to that
one.

There's a walkway circling a cylindrical structure, at the end of it there's
an X immediately to your left. Hit it with one of your shots and a purple lum
will fly out and let you cross to the other side of the lava. Once you cross,
if you turn around you'll see another X in the same general area. Shoot that
and another purple lum flies out. This one, if you backtrack, will allow you
to get up to a set of super fists.

Heading forward again, jump over the small gap in the lava to find a new set
of three pirates that need their clocks cleaned. Destroy them and continue
forward into the next cavern. I know you see lums, but it's not going to be
worth your while to go after them until later in the game. In all the
