The Tower of the Leptys: Difference between revisions

[[Rayman]] must fight his way up the tower. The first group of [[Hoodlum]]s consist of [[Hoodmonger]]s, a [[Hoodmonger Soldier]], a [[Hoodoo]], [[Hoodmonger Officer]]s and a [[Hoodstormer]], all in that order in terms of first seen. Once they all are destroyed, a [[Heavy Metal Fist]] can appears, needed to destroy a barricade blocking the way. As [[Rayman]] passes the bodies of lava, he encounters the second group of [[Hoodlum]]s. This one has several [[Hoodstormer]]s, a [[Heckler]], and a [[Hoodmonger Officer]]. Once they and the [[Hoodmonger Officer]] are defeated, [[Rayman]] can now destroy the [[Heckler]]. After that, three more [[Heckler]]s come running in. [[Rayman]] will need to keep refilling the [[Heavy Metal Fist]] in order to successfully destroy the three [[Heckler]]s. Once dead, for the first time in the game, a [[Hoodoo]], whom is protecting a [[Hoodmonger Soldier]], is being protected by another [[Hoodoo]]. When [[Rayman]] defeats the two [[Hoodoo]]s and the [[Hoodmonger Soldier]], the final [[Crazy Shoe]] appears. After the [[Crazy Shoe|shoe]] is beaten, the [[Throttle Copter]] is now able to be used to advance to a higher level. As [[Rayman]] progresses through the higher level with the [[Lockjaw]], defeating a couple of [[Slapdash]]es along the way, he slides down back to the first area where he greets a [[Hoodstormer]]. Once defeated, the [[Throttle Copter]] comes, and [[Rayman]] can now rise up and reach the ledge that leads to the last room, and then the exit.

This stage is predominantly inside the tower. Just by walking a short distance, the final pair of [[Lavomatrix]]es appear. When they are defeated, the [[Lockjaw]] can be found at the beginning of the stairs, and that's where [[Rayman]] can begin moving upwards. For a while, [[Hoodlum]] activity dies down, as [[Rayman]] uses the hooks from the [[Lockjaw]] to progress higher and higher to the top stairs. Once [[Rayman]] reaches the top of the room, pairs of [[Hoodstormer]]s come out of nowhere and start shooting. [[Rayman]] is able to defeat them all, and recover the [[Lockjaw]] after losing it to using the [[Throttle Copter]] to finish getting to the top. [[Rayman]] leaves the room and enters into a smaller one, that after a while, will start a slow but continuous lava flooding. [[Rayman]] is able to escape with the help of many [[Throttle Copter]]s. Now he needs to take advantage of the pile of [[balloon]]s to continue towards an upcoming final lava flood. [[Rayman]] will once more have to use the [[balloon]]s to escape the lava flood and when he does, the exit is straight ahead.

===Stage 3 – Armaguiddon Battle===

[[Rayman]] first climbs a series of steps with no opposition. He can hear [[André]] and [[Reflux]] talking as he progresses. Near the end, there are more [[pigpot]]s. Eventually, he encounters [[Reflux]] again and the final battle begins. Firstly, [[Reflux]] raises his shield. [[Rayman]] must use the [[Lockjaw]] to lower it and then the [[Heavy Metal Fist]] to deal damage to [[Reflux]]. Once this fairly easy round has been won, [[Reflux]] injects himself with [[the Leptys]], creating a more formidable boss. [[Rayman]] must circle giant [[Reflux]] waiting for him to throw his fist to the ground. When he does, [[Rayman]] can run up onto his back and attack [[the Leptys]] with the [[Heavy Metal Fist]] once again (attacking with the [[Telescopic fist|normal fist]] or the [[Lockjaw]] will prove fruitless). Next, [[Reflux]] begins to levitate. [[Rayman]] must use the floating debris around him, with the help of several [[Throttle Copter]]s, to reach a [[Shock Rocket]] can. Once [[the Leptys]] is hit with the [[Shock Rocket]], [[Reflux]] develops wings and flies away. [[Globox]] returns with the [[Armaguiddon]] and [[Rayman]] hops aboard. The two give chase.

After [[Reflux]] has been defeated twice, [[Rayman]] can fall down the side of the arena to find a last [[Jewel|green gem]] in an alcove. But [[Rayman]] will have to be careful, because if he falls into the bottomless pit, the "Game Over" will appear and the stage will have to be restarted.

[[Rayman]] must use the [[Armaguiddon]]'s weaponry to shoot down [[Reflux]]'s shields. Once this has been done enough, [[Reflux]] will make a charge towards the [[Armaguiddon]], so [[Rayman]] will have to shoot the exposed [[The Leptys|Leptys]] to decrease [[Reflux]]'s health. This causes him to land and [[André]] will begin to spawn [[Hoodmonger]]s from inside [[the Leptys]]. [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] must fly around and defeat the [[Hoodmonger]]s before they can return to [[Reflux]]. Any of them that achieve their goal replenish [[Reflux]]'s health. Gameplay repeats like this until [[Reflux]]'s health reaches 0. Afterwards, [[André]] falls to the ground. [[Rayman]] must use his [[grimace]] ability to turn him into a [[Red Lum]], thus eliminating his threat.

[[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] are returned to [[the Fairy Council]] where all is well. However, [[Globox]] misses [[André|"his Andy"]]. [[Rayman]] states that making [[André]] a [[Black Lum]] again is probably not a good idea and that he wouldn't know how to do it anyway. [[Globox]] reveals that he would have to scare the [[Red Lum]], and [[Rayman]] hates to imagine what could possibly do that. It is then revealed in a flashback that it was [[Rayman]]'s hands wandering around performing tricks upon the [[Red Lum]] that caused [[André]] to be "born" in the first place - a humourous irony.
