The first stage of the level requires Rayman to jump across several interestingly shaped rocks, fighting several [[Slapdash]]es as he goes. Globox has already run ahead of him as the desert sands burn. Eventually Rayman and Globox reach a small cave, on the other side they find themselves at the bottom of a canyon where a Hoodlum airship is dropping off several [[Hoodmonger]]s and [[Hoodmonger Soldier]]s. Globox consumes a barrel of Plum Juice which gives him flight, whilst Rayman must use the [[Throttle Copter]] to work his own way out of the canyon. Eventually he frees two Teensies who tell him about the Knaaren Tunnels which Rayman and Globox must use to cross the desert. The duo enter the tunnels, but Globox is quickly captured by the Knaaren and Rayman is forced to run. Finding himself in a room full of Knaaren, he must use a [[Shock Rocket]] to sound a [[gong]] which distracts the Knaaren whilst he makes his escape. In the next room, he must take a rock and carry it to a switch to open a door, and then perform the [[gong]] trick again to bypass one last Knaaren. After opening a final door using a rock, he can move on to the second stage. | The first stage of the level requires Rayman to jump across several interestingly shaped rocks, fighting several [[Slapdash]]es as he goes.

Rayman sees Globox being carried away by a Knaaren and must find a way to follow. His first task is to cause the Knaaren nearby to chase him onto a large switch which will cause some floating platforms to align, making a path up to the top of the large Leptys statue. If Rayman takes a detour whilst jumping these platforms, he can free a few teensies who will give him a [[Vortex]] to lower a [[Meadowscrew]] on the ground and reach a secret area. Once this is done, Rayman must work his way up to top of the statue, using floating platforms and [[Lockjaw]]s, where he releases some teensies who will hand over a Throttle Copter with which he can leave the second stage. | Rayman sees Globox being carried away by a Knaaren and must find a way to follow.

The only way out is to throw himself into the darkness below. He finds himself deep in the tunnels, and must carry various rocks to different [[switch]]es scattered throughout the level in order to proceed. However, only certain paths will take his weight, and he must be careful not to lose the stone he is carrying. In amongst all this he will be required to perform more daring jumps. Eventually, the Knaaren will corner him, but he can escape by destroying the ground below him and taking yet another tumble. Things don't get any better just now though, as it is here that he will meet the Knaaren champion Reflux, who will take him to the mysterious "arena". | ||

Once he has beaten them, a platform will rise, allowing him to cross the pit. If he drops down once the platform is raised he can find a door leading to his next secret. Now he can take Globox to the third Doctor. | ||

*Near the end of the first phase, the rock dispensing vending machine may not produce a rock, which is required to unlock the door to proceed. How this glitch is triggered is still not known: however, one way is to simply play the game without saving or turning off the console and when the user reaches this point, the glitch should have taken effect. The only known solution is for the user to reset the console and load the most recent save point they have. | *Near the end of the first phase, the rock dispensing vending machine may not produce a rock, which is required to unlock the door to proceed.
