	If successful, a puff of dust will appear on [[Rayman]]'s left and a wooden crate will materialise. [[Rayman]] can then climb onto the crate, and use it to reach a previously inaccessible tunnel whose entrance is hidden in the shadows high on the wall. The walls of the tunnel are decorated with the engraved coffins and [[skull]]s typical of the level. At the very end of the tunnel, [[Rayman]] encounters an impassable net, but the player is treated to a unique view: a small forested glade with a campfire at its center lies beyond the net, and surrounding it are two [[baby Globox]]es playing stones as if they were drums, a [[Grand Minimus]] dancing, and another large character~~, being~~ a depiction of ~~Jef,~~ can be seen playing a guitar. The scene is very similar to the one shown during ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'''s end credits, which may have been based on it.
