→PlayStation 2 version: Since this version of the Precipice contains the keg-flying part of the Echoing Caves, it's worth noting on this page that the Fairy Glade passage does not exist. That much is already mentioned on the Echoing Caves page, but it's kind of obvious there since that part doesn't even exist in Revolution's Echoing Caves anyway, it's been moved here.

===Phase 2===
Rayman enters a cave and follows another wooden pier, which leads him to a tower the Pirates built that sinks under rising water (reminiscent to the flooding levels in the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman]]''), while bombs and rolling kegs try to slow him down.

===Phase 3=== 
Developer Arnaud Guyon revealed that this phase was inspired by the 1987 game ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebulus_(video_game) Nebulus]''.<ref>ritchy.free.fr, https://web.archive.org/web/20020330184649/http://ritchy.free.fr/</ref>
Rayman comes out somewhere else in the canyon, and is still in pursuit across wooden piers.  There is then a cave with a bottomless pit, which Rayman has to glide through until he lands on another pier.  At the end of this, he ends up on a pirate stronghold which was built over a cliff, still under attack by a [[Ninjaws|Ninja Pirate]] and bombs. Once the pirate is defeated, Rayman can exit after freeing the [[Teensie]].

==PlayStation 2 version==
This version plays out as part of a large mission to destroy 2 generators to enter [[the Lava Sanctuary]]. It has had many alterations made, based around the fact that it now has 4 phases. Phase 2 has been removed and now features as phase 1 of [[the Echoing Caves]]. Phase 3 has become phase 2 accordingly, but the level now features phases 2 and 3 of the original [[The Echoing Caves|Echoing Caves]] as phases 3 and 4, concluding with a [[Ninja Henchman]] battle as the player attempts to destroy the [[Generator room|generator]].
...
 
The phase which, in the original Echoing Caves, included the passage to [[The Fairy Glade]] has had that passage removed, as that part of the Fairy Glade is instead accessible with the [[Rain Mask]].

In ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Precipice directly follows [[the Echoing Caves]], and it also features [[warship]]s, though they don't move at all. It is also the only time that [[Rayman]] fights a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]], aside from the final battle.
