Skyward Sonata: Difference between revisions

'''Skyward Sonata''' is the fifth level of the [[Desert of Dijiridoos]], the second world in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. This level primarily involves riding [[serpent flute]]s to traverse most areas. It is the second level from this world, and the eleventh overall, that is included in the [[Back to Origins]] painting in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

The first area is fairly short. To reach the exit, the heroes must slide down a water current, perform a wall jump, then execute a [[crush attack]] on a [[red bird]] and a wooden barrier. This area serves as a transition to the second area, where the first [[serpent flute]] is located.

As the heroes battle the [[red bird]]s, a [[serpent flute]] travels beneath the cloud platforms. The heroes must board it quickly, as it will not remain stationary. Once aboard, they must keep pace with the [[serpent flute]] while jumping onto different platforms throughout the area. The first [[Skull Coin]] of the level is in this area and can be collected by performing a wall jump between two didgeridoos, one of which moves vertically. After the heroes disband the [[serpent flute]], the first secret area can be found above by simply performing a wall jump above the exit. Once the [[Electoon]]s are saved, the heroes may proceed to the next area.

The second [[serpent flute]] appears as the heroes perform a wall jump and break a wooden barrier. As in the first area, they must avoid obstacles and board nearby platforms, while quickly boarding the [[serpent flute]] again. The second and third [[Skull Coin]]s of the level are right next to each other. The second one can be collected by performing a wall jump just left of the third [[Skull Coin|coin]], while the third can be obtained by performing some wall jumps on another didgeridoo, then sliding down while carefully avoiding the [[spiky bird]]. As the heroes proceed, they must perform wall jumps to keep up with the [[serpent flute]]. Didgeridoos will also attempt to crush the heroes, who must avoid being crushed. Afterwards, the heroes may disband the [[serpent flute]]. The second secret area, located above the exit, can be found here.

In this secret area, there are sleeping [[red bird]]s scattered around several [[serpent flute]]s, which are useful to reach the [[Red bird|birds]] above. Once all of the enemies are defeated, the [[cage]] can be broken.

The heroes will once again board the [[serpent flute]], repeating a process similar to that of the other areas. The fourth [[Skull Coin]] of the level is between two didgeridoos near a [[spiky bird]] and some sleeping [[red bird]]s. This [[serpent flute]] will not travel as far as the others, as this area is shorter than the previous two. The heroes will encounter a [[red bird]] guarding the exit; after defeating it, they may proceed to the next area.

The fifth [[Skull Coin]] is located just as the heroes enter this area. They must perform wall jumps against the two didgeridoos directly above the entrance. A [[serpent flute]] will appear again; the heroes must board it before it leaves. The heroes must stay alert, as more enemies, including [[red bird]]s, [[spiky bird]]s, and crushing didgeridoos stand in their way. The heroes will soon encounter the sixth [[Skull Coin]] of the level. It can be collected by properly timing a [[crush attack]] on the small [[Drum (UbiArt games)|drums]], while avoiding being hit by the stationary [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] on the horizontally moving didgeridoos above. Afterwards, the heroes must duck to avoid the crushing didgeridoos with more [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] attached to them. The heroes may now disband the flute and proceed to the final area.  

In this area, the heroes must defeat the four [[red bird]]s. Once the birds have been defeated, the [[Electoon]] [[cage]] can be broken, ending the level. The heroes then pose for a picture on the [[The Photographer|photoboard]] as [[the Magician]] waits to see how many [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] were collected throughout the level.
