As [[Rayman]] escapes from the exploding [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], the blast sends him flying through the air, and he lands at the foot of [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. As he nears the upper levels of the Tower, he is taken by surprise when he encounters [[Globox]], who is now at the helm of a flying Armaguiddon. Globox crashes the vehicle almost immediately; at this Rayman is distraught, but Globox quickly reveals that he has not been injured. Rayman climbs into the Armaguiddon with Globox, and the two characters begin to fly upwards through the tower; Globox loses his sunglasses, which have never been seen before, in the process. The vehicle is controlled directly by the player; it is completely manoeuvreable in 360 degrees, and can withstand many crashes before breaking down. As the heroes ascend, they encounter other Armaguiddons; these ones are piloted by enemy [[Hoodlum]]s. For these portions, the game switches to a first-person perspective as the player takes control of Rayman, who must use the Armaguiddon's rear cannon to fend off the enemies (who only utilise the bombs launched from the front of their vehicles). The game alternates between steering the Armaguiddon and fighting off enemy Armaguiddons. Both modes of gameplay become progressively more difficult as the level proceeds – the driving portions become filled with difficult obstacles, such as gigantic rotating gears, and the shooting portions involve ever-increasing numbers of enemy Armaguiddons. | As [[Rayman]] escapes from the exploding [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], the blast sends him flying through the air, and he lands at the foot of [[the Tower of the Leptys]].

Eventually the characters reach a point where [[Rayman]] can continue by himself. [[Globox]] stays behind in the Armaguiddon after this point. At the top of [[the Tower of the Leptys|the Tower]], Rayman battles the increasingly powerful [[Reflux]], who has gained the power of [[the Leptys]] by stealing [[the Sceptre of the Leptys|the Sceptre]]. After the third stage of the battle, Reflux sprouts wings and flies upwards into the world of the Leptys; at this point, Globox arrives in the Armaguiddon, proclaiming his wish to find [[André]], whom he has grown to like. The two fly upwards in pursuit of Reflux. During the fourth stage of the battle, Reflux chases the Armaguiddon in circles through the world of the Leptys, and Rayman must use its plasma cannon to shoot down the red energy balls thrown by the pursuing Reflux. Rayman must also shoot the magic barrier which Reflux has summoned to protect [[the Sceptre of the Leptys|the Sceptre]] embedded in his back – this is the source of his power and his only weak point. Once the barrier is down, Rayman must shoot the Sceptre, damaging Reflux. This initiates the fourth stage of the battle: Reflux lands on the ground to recuperate, and [[André]] (who also seems to be inside Reflux's back) uses the power of the Sceptre to spawn [[Black Lum]]s, which fly out of Reflux's body and turn into [[Hoodmonger]]s once they reach the ground. The heroes must the Armaguiddon's bombs to destroy as many Hoodlums as they can, before they march back into Reflux and are absorbed by him, thus healing him. The fourth and fifth phases alternate until Reflux is defeated. | Eventually the characters reach a point where [[Rayman]] can continue by himself.
