Glowing Sword weapon:
To get this weapon you'll need a sword that can break walls. In the Mystic Caves, after you get
past the first gate that you had to unlock, you'll reach a passage that's divided by a pit with
a switch on the floor. Drop into the pit, and at one end you'll see a breakable section of wall.
Break this wall to expose a weapon rack. Break the rack and you'll be able to pick up the Glowing
Sword, an unbreakable secondary weapon that does a ridiculous amount of damage, but will gradually
cause increasing damage to you each time you use it.

Hockey Stick Weapon:
First you'll need the Scorpion Sword. When you return to the Central Hall during the Throne and
the Mask stage of the game, rotate the lever so that the ground level gap is covered. Then head
down the path you took to get the Life Upgrade earlier but this time rather then going in to door
turn right and break the part of the wall with sand coming down. The Hockey Stick is in the weapons
rack.

level select:
ability to choose levels in the game

Pink Flamingo weapon:
To get this weapon you'll need a sword that can break walls. In the Garden Hall (Present), starting
from the middle passageway at the very top of the hall, do a wall run to the rope, then a wall run
to the central platform. Turn left and walk directly through the wall of rubble in front of you.
You'll turn around and grab the platform you were just standing on. From here, jump across the gap
to the next platform. To your left you'll see another platform with a switch. Make your way there,
hit the switch, then return to the platform you were just on. There will now be a block you can
climb on. From the top of the block, do a vertical wall run + jump to reach the beam above you.
Walk along the beam to the right, then jump to the ledge on the far wall. Follow the ledge around
to an alcove. Drop into the alcove and break the rear wall on the right-hand side to expose a weapon
rack. Break the rack and you'll be able to pick up the Pink Flamingo, an unbreakable secondary
weapon that does moderate damage and knocks all regular enemies to the ground with one hit.

Rayman Glove weapon:
In the main tomb in the Catacombs, going through the exit triggers a Dahaka chase. On the 2nd and
3rd chases through this exit, you'll come to a branch in the passageway. If you turn left at the
branch, there's a weapon rack hiding immediately to your left. Break the rack and you can pick up
the Rayman Glove, an unbreakable secondary weapon that does minimal damage, but knocks all regular
enemies to the ground with one hit.

Teddy Bear weapon:
To get this weapon you'll need a sword that can break walls. In the Mechanical Pit (Present), go to
the room with the fireplace at the top of the pit, where you once fought a Brute. At the back of the
room there's a passageway that bends to the right and dead-ends at a water pit. Drop into the pit and
you should see a section of wall with light shining through it. Break this wall to expose a weapon
rack. Break the rack and you'll be able to pick up the Teddy Bear, an unbreakable secondary weapon
that does minimal damage, but restores some health to you every time you hit an enemy with it.

Light Sword:
The light sword is the most powerful secondary weapon in the game. When in the mystic caves you come
upon a door that you must unlock via switch. Directly after that door there is a drop in the floor.
Drop down and break the left wall and break the rack to pick up the light sword. As with all secondary
weapons it is unbreakable, but if you throw it you lose it for good. The light sword has maximum damage
and maximum attack rate.

Secret Ending:
To get the secret ending simply obtain all 9 life upgrades, when you get to the room before the
Empress' throne room there will be a new sword waiting for you. It is the water sword and said to
be the only thing that can kill the Dahaka. For your final battle, instead of fighting the Empress
you fight the Dahaka.

The Dahaka's attacks are repetitive and predictable. When far away he will shoot his tendrils throw
the ground up at you, run around in circles to avoid it making your way ever closer to him. If you
get too close he'll shoot out his tendrils directly at you, roll to dodge them. As you roll slow down
time and go in for some heavy combo hitting, as you get him lower in health the Empress will help you
and shoot him off the arena, he will be stuck on the ledge, stock up on sand tanks (They regenerate
around the arena) and slow down time or use Ravages of time to inflict maximum damage. He'll eventually
get back up and jump at you, constantly roll until he calms down and remains stationary. Repeat the
same method as before until he is defeated.

Rayman Fist unbreakable:
The Rayman is one of the tougher secondary secret weapons to get because of the Dahaka. It is located
in the Catacombs. (Where you have to pull those three stones out of the wall to raise the central area.)
After pulling the first, go to the stairway, make a right, run on two walls and jump to the bar on the
right side. Swing from the bar and follow the path. (Make a quick left.) Then use the Scorpion Sword
to break through and retrieve the Rayman Fist. The Rayman fist is unbreakable and has a high attack
rate but does little damage. If you throw it, you lose it for good.

Hockey Stick:
After you obtain the Scorpion sword find your way back to the central room. Turn the turnstile so that
the lever is facing the doorway with the save point fountain. Stand facing the opposite doorway and
walk up a bit and to the right. You will find a ledge that is one step lower than the area around you.
Walk down and grab on to it. Jump to the opposite ledge and jump back and forth to slowly make your
way down. Once you reach the bottom drop down to the ledge below it. Wall run to the next wall and
get ready to jump off and back and forth to make your way up. Wall run again and when you reach the
end wall jump to slow your descent once more, you'll eventually grab onto a ledge. Make your way to
the doorway that is next to it, but DON'T GO IN. Instead keep going on the rocks until you see the
area where sand is falling. With the scorpion sword in hand break the wall. Break the rack of weapons
and pick up the hockey stick.

As with all special weapons the hockey stick is unbreakable, but if you throw it you lose it for good.
It has moderate damage and a relatively slow attack rate.

Instant kill:
After vaulting over an enemy by running up to them and pressing Space, press C three times for an
instant kill

Unlock Teddy Bear:
One of the miscellaneous secondary weapons is the teddy bear. Locate it after earning the Scorpion
Sword in the clock (west) tower. There are three encounters with a giant golem enemy in the
clocktower when you initially go through it; the first is before you start negotiating the vertical
climbing of the tower (past); the second is atop the clock tower (past); the third is is stationary
and throws exploding monsters in the clock tower's second area (past).

Look for the room where the second giant golem enemy is. You will need to be in the present (so
find a time portal) and drop into the water-filled dead end past the golem's room. Break the wall
and retrieve the teddy bear.

The teddy bear is almost unbreakable and does almost no damage, but has the ability to restore lost
life to the Prince with each successful blow on an enemy.

Pink Flamingo Weapon:
To get this weapon you'll need a sword that can break walls. In the Garden Hall (Present), starting
from the middle passageway at the very top of the hall, do a wall run to the rope, then a wall run
to the central platform. Turn left and walk directly through the wall of rubble in front of you.
You'll turn around and grab the platform you were just standing on. From here, jump across the gap
to the next platform. To your left you'll see another platform with a switch. Make your way there,
hit the switch, then return to the platform you were just on. There will now be a block you can
climb on. From the top of the block, do a vertical wall run + jump to reach the beam above you.
Walk along the beam to the right, then jump to the ledge on the far wall. Follow the ledge around
to an alcove. Drop into the alcove and break the rear wall on the right-hand side to expose a
weapon rack. Break the rack and you'll be able to pick up the Pink Flamingo, an unbreakable secondary
weapon that does moderate damage and knocks all regular enemies to the ground with one hit.

Hockey Stick Weapon:
First you'll need the Scorpion Sword. When you return to the Central Hall during the Throne and
the Mask stage of the game, rotate the lever so that the ground level gap is covered. Then head
down the path you took to get the Life Upgrade earlier but this time rather then going in to door
turn right and break the part of the wall with sand coming down. The Hockey Stick is in the weapons
rack.

Fight Shadi:
This is an easy but precise way to defeat Shadi. Attack her until you hear a large "clank", which
indicates that she has blocked. Then, roll to the side of her. When this is done, most of the time
you will be able to get behind her and repeat the attack. You should get to hit her about four
times (and possibly up to six times) before she blocks. However, sometimes you may only hit her
about two times before she blocks. You must listen for the "clank".

Rayman Glove Weapon:
In the main tomb in the Catacombs, going through the exit triggers a Dahaka chase. On the 2nd and
3rd chases through this exit, you'll come to a branch in the passageway. If you turn left at the
branch, there's a weapon rack hiding immediately to your left. Break the rack and you can pick up
the Rayman Glove, an unbreakable secondary weapon that does minimal damage, but knocks all regular
enemies to the ground with one hit.

Go as maggot man:
When you reach the portal room for the second time, when you have to switch the time to the present
for the first time, the Prince will say that something is wrong. You must run the switches on the
wall to make the portal work correctly. Do not run the switches on the wall. Instead, enter the
portal as it is and you will switch the time to the present. Save the game, then exit and load the
game. You will now be playing as the maggot man. In this mode you will constantly lose life and
much more health when hit than in normal mode. However your attacks will be very powerful and you
are much more quicker. Note: Save the game on a different file if you wish to continue the game as
the Prince.

only weapon capable of defeating the Dahaka.
