==Description==

The Sceptre can be used to grant the wielder the power of [[~~the~~ Leptys]], a god whose strength is seemingly imbued in it. It is kept by [[Gumsi]], child-king of the [[Knaaren]], a race of sadistic desert-dwelling creatures who worship [[~~the~~ Leptys]]. When [[Rayman]] defeats the [[Knaaren]] champion [[Reflux]] in an arena battle, [[Gumsi]] grudgingly uses the Sceptre to call upon [[~~the~~ Leptys]] to grant [[Rayman]] the [[grimace]] ability as a reward. [[Gumsi]] attaches his own staff to what appears to be a ball of stone in front of an enormous statue of [[~~the~~ Leptys]]; this causes the stone to glow brightly and rise out of the floor atop a carved pillar, while the eyes of [[~~the~~ Leptys]] statue glow with blue light. This stone orb is the Sceptre of the Leptys. However, the [[grimace]] ability is only a small aspect of [[~~the~~ Leptys]]'s power.

==In ''[[Rayman 3]]''==

When [[André]], the lord of the [[Black Lum]]s, approaches the disgraced [[Reflux]], he is able to persuade him to steal the Sceptre so that the two villains can use it against [[Rayman]]. [[André]] and [[Reflux]] travel to the top of [[the Tower of the Leptys]], a tower which seems to have been constructed by the [[Knaaren]] in honour of their god. Once there, [[Reflux]] uses the Sceptre to invoke the full power of [[~~the~~ Leptys]]. A portal to another dimension, also called [[~~the~~ Leptys]], appears in the sky. When [[Rayman]] arrives at the top of [[The Tower of the Leptys|the Tower]] near the end of the game, he finds that [[Reflux]] has mutated, growing larger and more muscular as a result of his new powers. However, the Sceptre remains [[Reflux]]'s one weakness throughout all stages of the following battle; in order to damage him, [[Rayman]] must find a way to strike at the Sceptre. This is similar to how he was defeated in the previous battle in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], when he used his own staff.

This is similar to how he was defeated in the previous battle in [[the Desert of the Knaaren]], when he used his own staff.

During the first stage of the battle, [[Reflux]] uses the Sceptre merely as a weapon, in the same way he used his staff in their earlier battle. He uses the Sceptre to summon lightning from the sky, to create magic shields around himself and to shoot projectiles which look strangely like [[Yellow Lum]]s. Once [[Rayman]] hits the Sceptre enough times, the second stage of the battle begins; [[Reflux]] pulls the glowing orb of the Sceptre from its shaft and imbeds the orb into the flesh of his own back. This increases his powers tremendously; he grows to a colossal size, his fists becomes engulfed in flames, and he begins launching bombs from his back. He causes the upper stones of [[The Tower of the Leptys|the Tower]] to begin levitating, the central parts of the floor become damaging for [[Rayman]] to stand on, and bluish pulses of energy begin to rise from [[The Tower of the Leptys|the Tower]] upwards into the sky. [[Reflux]] now roars rather than talking, and his resemblance to a [[Knaaren]] decreases further. Once [[Rayman]] has hit the Sceptre enough, [[Reflux]] himself begins to levitate upwards, and [[Rayman]] must pursue him by climbing his levitating stone blocks. Throughout the climb, [[Reflux]] roars to fire circular blasts of damaging blue energy at [[Rayman]]. Eventually [[Rayman]] finds a [[Shock Rocket]] can; he uses it to attack the Sceptre once again. The fourth stage of the battle begins; [[Reflux]] sprouts wings, making his resemblance to the statue of [[~~the~~ Leptys]] stronger than ever. He flies upwards into the portal in the sky, and [[Rayman]] follows.

The hero finds himself in the strange, alien world which was opened by the power of the Sceptre; again he must attack the Sceptre in [[Reflux]]'s back as the latter pursues him and [[Globox]] in their flying [[Armaguiddon]]. In the fifth stage, [[Reflux]] rests, and [[André]] converts the energy from the Sceptre into [[Black Lum]]s; these become an army of [[Hoodmonger]]s, which are re-absorbed by [[Reflux]] to regenerate his health. The fourth and fifth stages alternate until [[Reflux]] is finally defeated; he freezes solid and shatters. It is not known if the Sceptre survived or if it was destroyed; as soon as [[Rayman]] uses the [[grimace]] granted to him by [[~~the~~ Leptys]] to return [[André]] into a [[Red Lum]], the alien world of [[~~the~~ Leptys]] seems to disappear, and the heroes fall back to earth, landing in the woods near [[the Fairy Council]].
