'''The Desert of the Knaaren''' is the fifth of the nine levels of ''[[Rayman 3]]''. This is where the native species of this land, the [[Knaaren]], dwell. The [[Knaaren]] carved their tunnels out of the solid rock, and they guard their domain fiercely and effectively, constantly patrolling the many passages.

[[Rayman]] is sent here from [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the Land of the Livid Dead]] by the second [[Teensie doctor]], [[Roméo Patti]]. Like [[Otto Psi]], [[Roméo Patti|Roméo]] was unable to extract the [[Black Lum]] [[André]] from [[Globox]]'s body, so [[Roméo Patti|Roméo]] sends [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] to the Desert of the Knaaren, where the third [[Teensie doctor]], [[Gonzo]], has his office. Along the way, [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] fall into the tunnels, and [[Globox]] is captured by the [[Knaaren]]. [[Rayman]] must fight his way past [[Knaaren]] and [[Zombie Chicken]]s, and solve many puzzles along the way. Eventually he is captured by [[Reflux]], the champion of the [[Knaaren]], who challenges him to a duel in the arena. Once [[Rayman]] succeeds, [[Globox]] is freed, and [[Gumsi]], the child-king of the [[Knaaren]], uses [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] to their god, [[the Leptys]], who grants [[Rayman]] the [[grimace]] ability as a reward. The heroes then meet up with [[Gonzo]], who summons the other two doctors. Together they finally manage to extract [[André]], who escapes and tracks down the humiliated [[Reflux]]. [[André]] promises [[Reflux]] the opportunity to destroy [[Rayman]] once and for all if he will steal [[the Sceptre of the Leptys]] for him, and his promise is fulfilled in [[the Tower of the Leptys]], the game's final level.

===Stage 2 – The temple===
As [[Rayman]] gets past the first stage of [[Knaaren]]s, he enters a room where he needs to get to the top. At the top, he sees [[Globox]] being carried away by a [[Knaaren]] and must find a way to follow them. His first task is to get one of the [[Knaaren]]s that are 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 [[the Leptys]] statue. If [[Rayman]] takes a detour whilst jumping these platforms, he can free a few [[Teensie]]s who will give him a [[Vortex]] to lower a [[meadowscrew]] on the ground and reach a secret area that contains a [[Jewel|green gem]]. 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 [[Teensie]]s who will hand over a [[Throttle Copter]] with which he can use to get to the top, and leave the second stage.

[[Gonzo]], along with [[Otto Psi]] and [[Roméo Patti]] are finally able to remove [[André]] from [[Globox]]'s stomach by playing a slower tune then the first two doctors played. However, [[André]] escapes into the desert and gathers several [[Black Lum]]s, announcing that "Nothing is lost" as he knows someone who can help them. This someone turns out to be [[Reflux]], who agrees to steal [[Gumsi]]'s [[The Sceptre of the Leptys|Sceptre]] in return for another chance to defeat [[Rayman]].
