Savage Swarms is the first level of the Grumbling Grottos, a world in Rayman Origins. Locusts appear in this level but Rayman and his friends can briefly drive them away by punching gongs to make light. This is the first level from this world and twenty-first overall that's not included in the Back to Origins mode in Rayman Legends.
Area 1
As Rayman and his team advance, they come across a large group of Locusts. In order to scare them away and continue, the team will have to punch a gong to make light appear, causing the Locusts to move away for a short period of time. Some lights are already provided by other objects. At one point, a special kind of gong will appear. This specific one, if punched, will create a light around the heroes, but it won't last long. The first Skull Coin can be collected by punching the yellow gong and reaching the coin surrounded by Locusts. The second Skull Coin can be found through performing a walljump above the exit.
Area 2
This area starts out quiet, with no enemies in sight. Along the way, if the players body slam on a slanted bongo and perform walljumps, they will find the first secret area. After the Electoons are saved, the team can move on. The heroes will come across two paths, both will result in finding a Skull Coin, the third and fourth ones. But the lower path will need to be taken in order to continue. More gongs of the variety will still be useful for getting to the exit. The fifth Skull Coin can be retrieved by going down and punching a gong to the right of the coin.
Secret Area 1
The team will have to be careful when using the moving lights, as Locusts are everywhere. Once they get to the huge light, they can destroy the three Red Birds to break open the cage.
Area 3
After a while, the team needs to activate a switch to make one of the lights move around to scare off more Locusts. The sixth Skull Coin can be acquired by punching a special light providing gong to pass through the Locusts. The heroes will continue to use the moving and stationary lights to their advantage. The team will eventually escape the Locusts. The second secret area can be found by using a swingmen to be able to perform a walljump to the platform leading up to the door. The exit is close by.
Secret Area 2
Rayman and his friends will use the mosquitoes to reach the Electoon cage. During the ride, projectiles need to be shot on certain gongs to scare away Locusts. When the team gets to the end, they will need to keep a gong lighted up while destroying the Red Birds. Once done, the cage can be broken.
Area 4
In this area, the special light providing gongs will be used more to get past the Locusts. Because of this, the players will need to be quick when moving along, cause the gongs are spread out. The exit is not too far away.
Area 5
All the team has to do is defeat the four Red Birds around the Electoon cage. When completed, the cage can be broken open to end the level. The team will then pose on the photoboard as the Magician waits for the total amount of Lums that were collected in the level.
