Reflux

Reflux is a notable member of the Knaaren species. He looks noticeably different than other Knaaren, and can usually be found with his scepter in hand.

Appearance in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc

Seen in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc only, Reflux was looked upon as the most powerful of all Knaaren. Rayman is forced to confront Reflux in a mid-game battle in the Desert of the Knaaren, and defeats him, which from then on, he strives for revenge, power, and dominance. He soon allies with the Hoodlums in hopes of achieving his goal. Together, he gains the power of the Leptys and is finally seen at the end, where he battles Rayman for a second time (Andre is inside of Reflux during the battle) and goes through several phases physically using the power held by his scepter.

First Phase

Reflux is seen the same as he had been before.

Second Phase

Reflux lodges the scepter into his back (essentially making Reflux reliant on the scepter as an energy source) and grows far larger in size and becomes much more muscular. He raises the outside of the fighting area and Rayman must use the Heavy Metal Fist to reach the scepter on his back and cause damage to it.

Third Phase

After the scepter has received thorough damage, Reflux utilizes more energy to levitate himself as well as the fighting area. Rayman must use the Throttle Copter to scale the levitating rock and reach the Shock Rocket. With good aim, Rayman hits the scepter with a rocket and Reflux then enters his final phase.

Fourth Phase

Reflux then ascends into the sky into an area made of crystal, while Globox picks Rayman up to follow Reflux. As Globox flys the vehicle, Rayman fires a weapon with Reflux on their trail to try to, again, hit the scepter. Finally, Rayman had severely damaged the scepter, and Reflux, with no energy source left, falls to the ground, crystallizes, and shatters (also releasing Andre).

Appearance in Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge

In Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge, a boss, supposedly Reflux, appears during the game that Rayman must fight against. Following the battle, it is discovered that it was a clone and not actually Reflux.
