Rayman Origins

[Rulez]

After you beat the Mystical Pique and enter Moody Clouds for a bit, you then unlock 4 worlds, actually secondary worlds for the already existing worlds. They are apparently much more difficult but I can't tell you that for sure.

And sure enough, after the Teensy you unlocked, you'll get another Teensy but then come two really awesome characters.

And you're not even nearing the end of the game yet; there are bosses in the remaining worlds.

About Mister Dark... Where is he? Is he the Magician? I once read something about how that story was scrapped, can someone tell me the scrapped story? Is it still canon, although not included in the game? And the current story is that Rayman and co are snoring too loud, at which point someone (the final boss, I assume, if there's any bossfight at all) sends evil creatures to attack everyone? If that's so, can someone please explain the true / scrapped / whatever story? Including any theories or whatever please.

The scrapped story was that the Magician (real name Alles Mansay) was bullied by the other kids at magic school for his poor magican abilities, so he became a bitter and troubled individual. One one hand, he secretly admired Mister Dark and wanted to be like him, and on the other, he hated the nightmares that were plaguing the Glade of Dreams, and blamed the Bubble Dreamer for his immaturity and irresponsibility. The Magician planted a microphone in the Snoring Tree to start a war between Rayman and the Livid Dead, using the ensuing chaos as an opportunity to build a flying mechanical fortress in the Moody Clouds. His mecnanical minions were powered by the Lums he tricked Rayman into collecting for him; he planned to use these machines to take over the Glade of Dreams, banish the nightmares, and impose a new regime based on order, discipline and reason. If you look closely at the wall in the Magician’s headquarters, you can see several posters of Mister Dark, including one that says ‘♥ Mister D’. Mister Dark doesn’t actually appear in the game, but he is mentioned by the Bubble Dreamer when you unlock the Dark Rayman skin, and I suspect there’s a plan in place to include him in a future Rayman game.

So I'll get a Teensie now (at 90 Electoon medals or something), and then two awesome skins? One of them being Dark Rayman? Cool!

Where is the Magician's headquarters then? Awesome story by the way!

Thank you very much for answering (some of) my questions? What about my other questions?

complete Mistique Pique, you will get acces to a new world, playing the fisrt level of it will open new worlds, defeat the kings and return to that world will bring you to his headquarter, the land of the livid dead is one single level, but with a high difficulty rating

90 electoons = first Grand Minimus if i'm right
122 electoons = DarkRay
146 electoons = (globox skin, find out yourself what kind)

[Nannerb3]

220 electoons = DarkRay
246 electoons = (globox skin, find out yourself what kind)

Just correcting you.

You’ll know it when you see it.

I have a few questions though; you need 10 Skull Teeth to go to the Land of the Livid Dead, which is guarded by that guy in the Snoring Tree? I so far have 1 Skull Tooth, from the very first Tricky Treasure (?). This leads me to believe that there are 10 worlds excluding the Land of the Livid Dead. Is that correct? And is the Land of the Livid Dead a world, or merely a single level? And what happens in it?

Yes, you need all ten Skull Teeth, and in order to unlock all ten Tricky Treasure levels, you’ll also need to collect lots and lots of Electoons. The Land of the Livid Dead is a single level, but it’s very hard and features a (non-story-related) final boss.

The 'Lum kings' make all yellow lums red, for a limited amount of time, which makes them worth more (how much?). And what are those golden coins? How many are there in each level, and why are they special? Just because they're worth much lums (20? 25?)? And what can I do with lums, by the way? Are they only used for getting those Electoon medals? There are always 3 Electoon medals from cages and 2 Electoon medals from getting a specified amount of lums to earn, in every level? And a final medal, from getting even more lums. Why is that one different, why isn't it another Electoon medal? Is it something special?

The Lum Kings turn yellow Lums red, making each one worth two. Bear in mind that these aren’t the same as the Yellow Lums and Red Lums from Rayman 2; the ones in this game are purely for points and have no real function. The golden Skull Coins just give you fifty extra Lums, that’s all. Lums are just for getting Electoons from the Magician. I don’t think the Lum Medals actually do anything.

And with those Electoon medals, I can unlock Tricky Treasure levels, additional characters, and normal levels (I call them bonus levels, because they're short, have that AWESOME tune (my sister and I sing it constantly ), and contain a plethora of lums). But what if I don't get enough Electoon medals? Then I can't play the 'bonus' levels, and as such, can't get to the final level? Which, by the way, is always a Moskito ride and not a bossfight, which somewhat disappointed me. Are there any bossfights at all? And what are the characters I can unlock? Can I only unlock Teensies? So far, I have unlocked the Teensie that was forcefed hot peppers or something like that, but to be honest, they all suck... Can't I unlock something like Dark Rayman, or the Magician, or Mister Dark, or Uglette, or...?

There are plenty of proper boss fights; you’ll get to them later. The only really cool unlockable character is Dark Rayman; most of the others are just characters dressed up as each other and stuff like that.

Also, I think (I haven't tested it out) that, once I complete a level, I can go and replay it, and do it in a limited amount of time? Why would I do that? Do I get another Electoon medal for it, or...?

You get Electoons for it.

Sorry for the many questions, but, I can't find any information about this game on the internet. Which is a shame, because I'm in love with it.

There is plenty of information about all Rayman games in RayWiki.

Don't Skull Coins give you 25 Lums, not 50, Spiral?

[Danone]

Don't Skull Coins give you 25 Lums, not 50, Spiral?

But with a Lum King?

[spiraldoor]

Don't Skull Coins give you 25 Lums, not 50, Spiral?

I’m not sure, but I thought it was fifty.

[Mr. Dark Thingamajig]

25 if i'm right

[need my speed]

Yeah, I just played the first level of Ticklish Temple. I have unlocked the Grand Minimus and I think I have 98 Electoon medals. I think I can unlock Dark Rayman with 200 something? And after that I get Dark Globox? And that's the last one?

I assume the four 'sub-worlds', with the kings, each have a boss fight against said king?

Thank you very much for answering my questions, once again!

Yes to all of the above.

I wasn't expecting it to win in that category, since it was being overlooked by many other game's soundtracks, but a good win nonetheless.
I like how they show the variety of different tracks and even explain themselves on it.

[beebo44]

I think Luckster or one of the mods should update the front page a bit. It still says that RO is in episodic-format, and most of the trailers and gameplay vids aren't even there. No DB's either.

[need my speed]

To be honest, I found the music to suck compared to the other Rayman games. I can't stand the... Well, it isn't even music what I'm hearing in the Jibberish Jungles. The rest is only meh, with some exceptions, like that happy tune (Lum King?), the Gourmand Land music (the 'ice' music reminds me of James Bond, and the 'fire' music wasn't that bad either), and the singing fishes. But overall, I think the soundtrack is bad.

[Electoon]

Aw, I like the soundtrack. It's no match to the Rayman 1 music (but I have yet to find a video game which does) but it is a lot of fun. I wish there wasn't music that was removed from the game, like some of the stuff from the trailers and Daily Bubbles. Oh, and the Final Showdown track of course!

So far, the game has been brilliant fun. Plus, my dream of playing a Rayman level where he can run along a giant playable piano has come true .

fishes.

Gotcha!
