Complete walkthrough for the Pencil Pentathlon in Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition, covering all three stages, including tips for navigating slippery platforms and spikes.
Walkthrough
- 1Stage 1: Start on a small platform, jump right to the next slippery platform, then the next. Face left, look up, and jump to a ledge. Jump up, walk left and up a hill, then jump to land on a bouncy platform. Face right and grab the pink ring.
- 2Swing right onto the platform, slide right, and jump. Jump over a gap, then over spikes, and continue right. Jump over another patch of spikes to a narrow passage. Duck and crawl through to avoid spikes. Walk right, drop, and grapple onto the pink ring.
- 3Swing right into the wall, then keep pushing into the wall while dropping to enter a passage. Walk right, jump up, walk left, and jump to the platform on the right. Duck to avoid bullet shots, then punch the Hunter. Drop onto a temporary cloud. While dropping, get the mini power ball and walk right. Jump onto the platform on the right and crawl under two pencils.
- 4Take a picture from the photographer, then follow the trail of tings to the right. Jump up and helicopter down the path to land on a bouncy push pen. Bounce to the next pen, then the next, and finally the last one. Drop to the left of the push pen, face right, and when you reach the bottom, grapple onto the pink ring.
- 5Swing right, jump on the metal platform, and ride it up. At the top, jump right onto a ball, run right, and jump to a platform. Walk right until you reach two sharp spikes, jump over them, then jump over the next one. Walk right and jump on the metal platform. While it's moving, jump to the next metal platform above, then the next. Run and jump right. Slide down collecting tings, and when the ramp launches, jump, helicopter, and you'll reach the other side.
- 6Continue sliding, then walk up the pencils. From the last pencil, jump and grapple onto the pink ring. Drop straight down and grapple onto the pink ring below. Swing right, drop a little, and grapple onto the pink ring down there. Grapple onto the next one, then the next. From there, swing onto the last platform to the right to clear the stage.
- 7Stage 2: Something will drop to the right; collect the Super Helicopter potion. Start super helicoptering up, then left, balancing to avoid overhead spikes. At the left, hover straight up, then drop onto the platform to the right. Walk right to the end of the platform.
- 8Drop down and start helicoptering. Watch the small wall to the right until it ends. Hover beneath it and helicopter over sharp spikes and paintbrush tips, while watching for ceiling spikes. Look for a safe spot on the ground to land in the middle of the spikes. Face right, look up at three moving pencils, and hover beneath them.
- 9Continue hovering right past two balls and spikes below. Land on the top ball. Hover left of the balls and punch the top ball. You will lose your helicopter; immediately regain it before dropping into spikes. The ball will have fallen; hover on the next ball and crawl through the passage. As soon as you reach the other side, start helicoptering right until you see a moving pencil, then hover beneath it.
- 10Continue right, avoiding pencils above and below. Past them, hover through a large pack of pencils. After this, take a picture from the photographer. Jump right and bounce on the platform, being wary of falling pencils. While bouncing, hover right as fast as possible to pass the land of falling pencils.
- 11Walk right and fall down. Collect the spark to make three antitoons appear. Defeat them all and walk right. Jump over the paint bucket and take a picture from the photographer. Above, spikes are on the left and right; hover on the left, then go right, continue up, then go left, up, etc., until you reach the top.
- 12Walk right, drop down, and get your helicopter to go down. When you reach the bottom, walk right and repeat the process. When you reach the top, walk right and collect the mini-power ball. Drop right onto the bouncy platform, or hover right, watching for ceiling spikes. Drop to the platform on the right and continue hovering left. Drop right and crawl right.
- 13Before crawling, ensure an antitoon emerges from the small passage; defeat it, then enter. When you reach the other side, hover up and dodge spikes again. Collect the large powerball and hover right. Drop down and start hovering left. Wait for an antitoon, then repeat the process. Crawl to the other side, then hover straight up to the top. Start walking left to the sign.
- 14Stage 3: Start on a bouncy platform and bounce quickly to the very top. Bounce right, following the trail of tings down into the lower parts of the bouncy platforms. When you reach the very bottom, bounce right. You'll see square-shaped bouncy platforms; bounce up them to the right. You'll see the photographer; take a picture.
