Complete the hardest level in Rayman Origins, Land of the Livid Dead. Learn how to defeat Big Mama and overcome its challenges.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the Snoring Tree and confront the toothless Grim Reaper to gain entrance to the Land of the Livid Dead.
  2. 2
    Spin through the first Granny (a type of bouncy platform), jump over the Evil Tulips, and bounce off the next Granny between the two Darktoon Branches (obstacles that move and can harm you).
  3. 3
    Air kick the Granny standing at the edge of the cliff, then proceed across a couple of platforms to reach a pair of green Grannies.
  4. 4
    Spin attack the green Grannies off the cliff and use their bubbilized form (a temporary state that allows you to float) to get across.
  5. 5
    Hop across the coffins, avoiding the deadly purple water, then jump over the Evil Tulips and roll down the hill, avoiding danger until you reach a slope.
  6. 6
    Wallrun (run along a vertical surface) up the side and jump between the Darktoon Branches to reach the next door. A checkpoint (a save point) will activate.
  7. 7
    Jump into the purple pool as a Skeleton Snake swoops under and saves you. Unlike the Flute Snakes, this Skeleton Snake is a speedster.
  8. 8
    Immediately jump over the Darktoon Branch as your ride submerges and dash along the islands, hopping from platform to platform.
  9. 9
    Fly through the branches to land on the Skeleton Snake again.
  10. 10
    Do a quick jump as it dips under, then leap on top of the coffin and spin through the Granny. Continue this pattern until you disembark.
  11. 11
    Keep running as Locusts (enemies) pursue you from the start of the checkpoint.
  12. 12
    Reach a wallrunning section where the next checkpoint activates. Wallrun up the curved bones and jump from one to the other, then start running vertically up the coffins and bones.
  13. 13
    Dodge falling buzzsaws and spiny Darktoons until you reach the top.
  14. 14
    Hop across coffin platforms that flip upside down. Be cautious of spiny Darktoons on the bottom of the spinning coffin; only use it when it is right side up. A Darktoon Branch will chase you, so do not stop. Go through the door once you reach stable ground. A checkpoint activates.
  15. 15
    Hop to the next ledge and get past the Evil Tulips. Scale the Darktoon Branches and bounce on top of the bouncy eyes (super bounce on the second one).
  16. 16
    Spin attack the green Granny (they have spiky hats that prevent head stomps) and super bounce onto the long root. Run across to reach a set of coffins.
  17. 17
    Run underneath and jump across the coffins before they slam into you.
  18. 18
    Spin into the next green Granny and jump to the vertical coffin. Wall jump up the two coffins as they slowly move upward, keeping pace with them.
  19. 19
    When you reach the next group of Grannies, spin attack them off the cliff and use them as stepping stones to reach the doorway. A new area and checkpoint await.
  20. 20
    Cross the islands and slip past the lava streams. Slide down the hill and jump at the bottom.
  21. 21
    Float down the chasm, avoiding spewing magma on both sides and fireballs.
  22. 22
    Continue floating, avoiding combined flame streams and fireballs.
  23. 23
    You reach a checkpoint upon landing on platforms at the bottom of the pit.
  24. 24
    Run along unstable ledges and islands as flame streams shoot up from every angle. Sometimes a lava stream starts behind you, requiring you to run to stay ahead of it. The key is to keep moving and never slow down.
  25. 25
    Leave this final room and spill into the boss chamber.

BOSS: Big Mama

You stand on top of Big Mama, similar to the Golem battle. You will spend most of the fight on her skinny arms, avoiding her bracelets that slide up and down and her pointy elbows. Her hands are spiny and covered in sharp jewelry, so only stand on her forearms.

  1. Big Mama moves her arms back and forth to shake you off. Jump from arm to arm and hop over the bracelets. Watch her arm movements to time your leaps.
  2. The first pink bulb appears on Big Mama's right arm (left side of the screen) when she tilts it vertically. Jump onto her other arm below. The pink bulb shrinks away quickly, so attack it immediately. This sequence repeats until you destroy it.
  3. After destroying the first pink bulb, you land on Big Mama's face. Pummel her eyes until they are all knocked off.
  4. The next sequence involves Big Mama jabbing with her elbow, then tilting her arms so you must wall jump back and forth until they are horizontal. Stay on her left arm and maneuver around her bracelet.
  5. When Big Mama dips her arm in lava, begin floating until you can...
Tips
  • This level is the hardest in the game and has no Electoons or Lums, so focus solely on survival.
  • Maintain speed throughout the level; stopping is rarely an option.
  • When fighting Big Mama, only stand on her forearms to avoid her spiny hands and jewelry.
  • Be quick to attack the pink bulbs that appear during the Big Mama fight, as they disappear rapidly.
