===Phase 1===
This level takes place in a wide canyon, where [[Rayman]] is in pursuit by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s shooting [[helicopter bomb]]s and [[Red shell|red walking shells]] at him. He has to escape them by running across a weak pier, climbing on nets, and jump whenever bits of it are blasted off.

===Phase 2===
===Phase 2===
[[Rayman]] enters a cave and follows another wooden pier, which leads him to a tower the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] built that sinks under rising water (reminiscent to the flooding levels in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]]), while [[helicopter bomb]]s and rolling [[keg]]s try to slow him down.

Developer Arnaud Guyon revealed that this phase was inspired by the 1987 game ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebulus_(video_game) Nebulus]''.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020330184649/http://ritchy.free.fr/</ref>

===Phase 3===
===Phase 3===
[[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 [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] stronghold which was built over a cliff, still under attack by a [[Ninja Henchman]] and [[helicopter bomb]]s. Notably, these [[Helicopter bomb|bombs]] can hit the [[Ninja Henchman]], inflicting him 5 damage (one third of its [[resistance]]). Once [[Ninja Henchman|the pirate]] is defeated, [[Rayman]] can exit after freeing the [[Teensie]].

==[[Rayman Revolution|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]].

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.
