Murfy hints that the shell may be tamable, and Rayman shortly does just that. By riding the Walking Shell, Rayman is able to cross a patch of [[nettle]]s to reach the [[Military Academy]]. | ||
Rayman enters the academy to find two [[Henchman 800|Henchmen 800]] asleep; though the sign outside hints at sneaking past them, the Robo-Pirates are of the weak variety and are fairly easy to defeat (though particularly in all versions but ''Revolution'' this is the first time multiple Robo-Pirates are encountered at the same time) (it should also be noted that there are more than two Robo-Pirates in the academy in ''Revolution'', some of which being hidden). Whatever the player has Rayman do, the hero must continue on to leave the small academy. | Rayman enters the academy to find two [[Henchman 800|Henchmen 800]] asleep; though the sign outside hints at sneaking past them, the Robo-Pirates are of the weak variety and are fairly easy to defeat (though particularly in all versions but ''Revolution'' this is the first time multiple Robo-Pirates are encountered at the same time) (it should also be noted that there are more than two Robo-Pirates in the academy in ''Revolution'', some of which being hidden).
