[[Image:Reflux_first_battle.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Reflux during his first battle with [[Rayman]] in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]]]
In ''[[Rayman 3]]'', Reflux was looked upon as the most powerful of all [[Knaaren]]. [[Rayman]] is forced to confront Reflux in a mid-game battle in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], and defeats him, destroying his reputation as [[Knaaren]] Champion. From then on, he strives for revenge, power, and dominance. He carries a strong grudge and deep hatred against [[Rayman]] after losing his battle with him. He soon allies with [[André]] and the [[Hoodlum]]s in hopes of achieving his goal of revenge. [[André]] goads him into stealing the [[Sceptre of the Leptys]] from his king, [[Gumsi]], so that the two villains can gain the power of the [[Leptys]] and use it to defeat [[Rayman]]. At the end of [[the Tower of the Leptys]], the game's final level, Reflux battles [[Rayman]] for a second and final time, and morphs through several physical forms using the power provided by the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]], which he embeds into his in order to access its full power. [[André]] also seems to be inside of Reflux during the battle.

===[[The Desert of the Knaaren]]===
'''Meeting'''


[[File:Reflux Cinematic.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Reflux's first appearance]]
Whilst trying to reach [[Art Rytus]]' office, [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] must pass through the tunnels beneath [[the Desert of the Knaaren]]. [[Globox]] is quickly captured by [[Knaaren|the fierce beasts]] and [[Rayman]] explores the tunnels alone for a short while until he is captured too. However the Knaaren that corner him are quickly sent away by Reflux who announces to [[Rayman]] that he will be fighting in the arena. [[Rayman]] is [[cage]]d and taken to the aforementioned arena where he finds [[Globox]], also caged, with the [[Knaaren]] ruler [[Gumsi]].


Seen in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' only, Reflux was looked upon as the most powerful of all Knaaren. Rayman is forced to confront Reflux in a mid-game battle in the Desert of the Knaaren, and defeats him, destroying his reputation as Knaaren Champion. From then on, he strives for revenge, power, and dominance. He carries a strong grudge and deep hatred against Rayman after losing his battle with him. He soon allies with [[André]] and the [[Hoodlum]]s in hopes of achieving his goal of revenge. André goads him into stealing [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] from his king, [[Gumsi]], so that the two villains can gain the power of [[the Leptys]] and use it to defeat Rayman. At the end of [[the Tower of the Leptys]], the game's final level, Reflux battles Rayman for a second and final time, and morphs through several physical forms using the power provided by the Sceptre, which he embeds into his in order to access its full power. André also seems to be inside of Reflux during the battle.
'''First battle - [[Destiny Arena|The arena]]'''


===First phase===
[[Rayman]] must now fight Reflux in [[Destiny Arena|the arena]]. Reflux uses several different moves such as a spinning-fire attack and the ability to call down meteors from the roof. However, he often needs to rest with only some fire balls to protect him giving the player the chance to attack. Sometimes he will fumble his staff. The player can hide on some frames at the side of the arena where [[Heavy Metal Fist]]s can be found, but flying magma will attack if they remain there too long. When defeated, Reflux falls onto his face.
Reflux is seen almost the same as he had been before, though with slight mutations seen in his skin, now white with yellow spots in color.


===Second phase===
'''Stripped of his title'''
Reflux lodges the scepter into his back (essentially making Reflux reliant on the scepter as an energy source) and grows far larger in size and becomes much more muscular. He raises the outside of the fighting area and Rayman must use the Heavy Metal Fist to reach the sceptre on his back and cause damage to it.


===Third phase===
Now defeated, Reflux goes with [[Gumsi]], [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and the other [[Knaaren]] to the [[Leptys]] where he is scolded by the king and watches [[Rayman]] receive [[Grimace|a new power]].
After the sceptre has received thorough damage, Reflux utilizes more energy to levitate himself as well as the fighting area. Rayman must use the Throttle Copter to scale the levitating rock before it all vanishes and reach the Shock Rocket. With good aim, Rayman hits the sceptre with a rocket and Reflux then enters his final and most powerful phase.


===Fourth phase===
'''Turning to the [[Black Lum]]s'''
Reflux then ascends into the sky into an area made of crystal, while Globox picks Rayman up to follow Reflux. As Globox flys the [[Armaguiddon]] he found in the last segment, Rayman fires a weapon with Reflux on their trail to try to, again, hit the sceptre. Finally, Rayman had severely damaged the sceptre, and Reflux, with no energy source left, falls to the ground, crystallizes, and shatters, releasing [[André]].


<table>
[[André]] the [[Black Lum]] had silently listened to all this from within [[Globox]]'s stomach. Once freed from his organic prison he gathered a small squad of [[Black Lum]]s from the desert and announced that he knew someone who could help them. This someone was Reflux. [[André]] convinced the fallen champion to steal the [[Leptys]] in exchange for revenge against [[Rayman]].

==Appearance in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]''==
<gallery widths="320px" heights="240px">
In ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', it is revealed that some fragment of [[André]]'s spirit lingered on in [[Globox]]. As the game goes on, André's influence over Globox grows, making Globox nastier and more mean-spirited. At the end of the game, André finally succeeds in transforming Globox into a clone of Reflux, and fights [[Rayman]] in this cloned body. The André-controlled Reflux-clone Globox drinks [[Plum Juice]] to make himself more powerful. When Rayman defeats him, André's spirit flees and Globox reverts to his original form with no memory of the possession.

===[[The Tower of the Leptys]]===
Reflux and [[André]] succeeded in their mission of theft, and even the destruction of the [[Hoodlum Headquarters]] did not stop them. Reflux took for himself the [[Leptys]]' power which [[André]] began to use in order to mass-produce [[Black Lum]]s. They then took refuge at [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. [[Rayman]] climbed to the top of the tower and confronted Reflux a second time.
 
'''Final battle - First phase'''
 
Reflux is seen almost the same as he had been before, though with slight mutations seen in his skin, now white with yellow spots in colour. He shields himself and throws lightning at [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] must use the [[Lockjaw]] power-up to bring down the shield, and then the [[Heavy Metal Fist]] to deplete Reflux's health.
 
'''Second phase'''
 
Reflux lodges the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] into his back (essentially making Reflux reliant on the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] as an energy source) and grows far larger in size and becomes much more muscular. He raises the outside of the fighting area and [[Rayman]] must use the [[Heavy Metal Fist]] to reach the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] on his back and cause damage to it.
 
'''Third phase'''
 
After the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] has received thorough damage, Reflux utilizes more energy to levitate himself as well as the fighting area. [[Rayman]] must use the [[Throttle Copter]] to scale the levitating rock before it all vanishes and reach the [[Shock Rocket]]. With good aim, [[Rayman]] hits the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] with a rocket and Reflux then enters his final and most powerful phase.
 
'''Fourth phase'''
 
Reflux then ascends into the sky into an area made of crystal, while [[Globox]] picks [[Rayman]] up to follow Reflux. As [[Globox]] flys the [[Armaguiddon]] he found in the last segment, [[Rayman]] fires a weapon with Reflux on their trail to try to, again, hit the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]]. Finally, [[Rayman]] had severely damaged the [[Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]], and Reflux, with no energy source left, falls to the ground, crystallizes, and shatters, releasing [[André]].
