Punching Plateaus: Difference between revisions

'''Punching Plateaus''' is the fourth level of the [[Jibberish Jungle]], the first world in ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. As the name implies, attacking plays an important role in this level, which is filled with multiple breakable walls and enemies, the most common of which are the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]]. This is the third level to not be included in the [[Back to Origins]] mode in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. It was formerly known as '''Way Of The Fist'''.

[[The Magician]] is seen at the start of the level on the left again and will tell the heroes about [[bulb-o-Lum]]s, charging their attacks and ground pounding if they attack or jump on his hat. Afterwards the heroes must defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] while avoiding dangerous waters containing [[tentacle claw]]s. The [[Platformman]] also makes his first appearance in this area. The first [[Skull Coin]] is hidden on a small cave with plants, under the cliff with the [[Livingstone|Lividstone]] standing on a [[nenuphar]] next to a green [[bulb]]. To get it, the heroes must fall while making contact with the right wall, then perform a walljump to get into the cave. Then, the heroes can go back to where they were using a regular walljump.

Upon entering the area, the heroes encounter [[Antitoon|Darktoons]] for the first time in the game. After defeating them, the heroes must make climb out of the chasm to get to the top, by performing more walljumps, using a horizontal vine, and bouncing on [[flower bumper]]s. The exit can be found to the right, however, the [[#Secret area 1|first secret area]] can be found on the left, with an [[Electoon]] [[cage]] inside; the heroes can crush attack the wooden platform below and hit the green [[bulb]], which will create a [[flower bumper]], making the area easily accessible.

The first [[relic]] can be found directly above the heroes just as they enter this area.

The heroes must defeat four [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] guarding the [[cage]], while being careful to avoid falling into the [[spiky flower]] pit. They can do this manually, or use a [[Swingman]] to swing over them and hit the [[bulb]], causing the platforms the [[Livingstone|Lividstones are standing on to disappear, making them fall into the pit.

Similar to the first area, the heroes must defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and avoid dangerous waters. Even though an [[Electoon]] can be heard crying for help, it is not in this area. The second [[Skull Coin]] can be found here, hidden inside of a [[bulb-o-Lum]] next to the [[Swingman]]. When the heroes hit the bulb, a [[bubble]] containing the [[Skull Coin|coin]] will come out and appear right in the other side of the water. The heroes must then collect the [[Skull Coin|coin]] quickly before the bubble explodes, while avoiding the [[tentacle claw]]. The third [[Skull Coin]] can be obtained after hitting the [[explosive bulb]] and performing a walljump in the upper area.

This short area is very luscious with life, with clean waters and flowers that hold [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] in [[bubble]]s. Below of the starting area lies the [[#Secret area 2|second secret area]].

The heroes must now use their combined skills of jumping and attacking in order to defeat [[Livingstone|Lividstones]], while being careful to avoid falling into an abyss or dangerous waters. Timed jumps are key to avoid several [[spiky flower]]s that guard two [[Skull Coin]]s in this area. To get the fourth one, the heroes must hit a green [[bulb]] to activate two [[nenuphar]]s and jump on them; right after getting the [[Skull Coin]], the heroes must hit the blue [[bulb]] quickly to make the [[spiky flower]]s below disappear. The fifth [[Skull Coin|coin]] is right between two [[spiky flower]]s; the heroes must crush attack a [[flower bumper]] in order to reach it.

The heroes must defeat five [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] in order to be able to break the [[cage]] to end the level. Then the heroes pose for [[the Photographer]] and watch [[the Magician]] wait in anticipation for the total amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] the heroes collected throughout the level.
