* ''This article is about the world in the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games. For the level in [[Rayman 3]], see [[the Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)]]. For the level in [[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]], see [[Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge)]].''

The '''Land of the Livid Dead''' is the optional final world in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', and a location that also features in ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'' and ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. It is a subterranean realm filled with graveyard-like structures, hazardous obstacles and dangerous creatures. Its relationship to [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|the eponymous level in ''Rayman 3'']] is unknown.

==Description==
In stark contrast to [[The Land of the Livid Dead (Rayman 3)|its identically named counterpart from ''Rayman 3'']], the Land of the Livid Dead in the [[UbiArt Framework|UbiArt]] games is entirely subterranean, exuding a morbid, cemetery-like atmosphere reminiscent of the [[Tomb of the Ancients]] from ''[[Rayman 2]]''.

Graveyard-like structures dot the landscape, interspersed with natural rock formations and pools of poisonous fluids. Some areas resemble a subterranean city, with towering structures reminiscent of skyscrapers in the background, connected by bridges. These structures appear to be made of sepulchres piled endlessly upon each other. Most are shrouded in darkness, but some have yellow or blue lights in their windows. Similar small mausoleums can be seen alongside the paths the heroes traverse, bearing symbols resembling the heads of enemies encountered elsewhere in the game, such as [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and [[Stone man|stone men]]. In other sections, the most common structures are towers seemingly made entirely of blackish tombstones. Some have flat, gray stone lids, while others seem to continue infinitely upwards, like the piles of sepulchres. Some even have large stone tentacles protruding from them. Stone coffins are plentiful and often serve as platforms.

The area presents numerous hazards to navigate, including [[Granny|grannies]], spiky [[Antitoon|Darktoons]], beds of [[tulip]]s obstructing the paths, [[Darkroot]]s, [[buzzsaw]]s, flamethrowers, fire projectiles, pools of toxic purple liquid and bottomless pits. The [[Snake of the Dead]] can also be found here.

==In ''Rayman Origins''==
{{ROWorld
| name = Land of the Livid Dead
| image = [[File:Ph death.png|200px|Land of the Livid Dead]]
| preceded by = [[Moody Clouds]]
| connected to = [[The Snoring Tree]]
}}

The Land of the Livid Dead is the optional final world in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', situated beneath [[the Snoring Tree]]. To gain access, the heroes must collect all ten [[Skull Tooth|Skull Teeth]] and present them to [[Mister Death]], who guards the entrance. It is intended to be the most difficult challenge in the game and features precison platforming throughout. Some levels are designed so that player actions are synchronized with the music, a concept that was further developed in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' with the musical levels.

Uniquely, it is represented as a single entry point on the world map, despite being internally divided into two distinct levels. The initial four sections are collectively identified as [[Don't Trample the Flowers]] within the game's files, although this name is not displayed to the player. The fifth and final section, [[the Mamma of All Nightmares]], culminates in a confrontation with the game's final boss, [[Big Mama]]. Defeating her triggers the ending credits sequence once again.

Beating the level in the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 versions unlocks the hidden trophy/achievement [[Nothing Lasts Forever]].

==In ''Rayman Jungle Run''==
In ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', seven levels are set in the Land of the Livid Dead, one for each world. To unlock one of these levels, the player must have collected five [[Skull Tooth|Skull Teeth]] in the normal levels of the corresponding world, which can only be obtained by collecting all 100 [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] in a level. Levels set in the Land of the Livid Dead do not contain any [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]]. They do, however, save the player's record time and display it on the level selection screen. Some of these levels feature multiple paths that can be taken.

==In ''Rayman Legends''==
[[File:Land of the Livid Dead.png|thumb|The painting for the Land of the Livid Dead in the [[Online Challenges]]]]

In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', the second and final level of the Land of the Livid Dead, [[the Mamma of All Nightmares]], appears in the [[Mystical Pique]] painting in the [[Back to Origins]] mode.

Additionally, several of the new levels in this game take place in the Land of the Livid Dead. This includes the two rescue missions in [[Fiesta de los Muertos]], [[Run for your Life]] and [[Sprint for your Life]], as well as the final musical level, [[Grannies World Tour]]. The Land of the Livid Dead is also one of the settings for the [[Online Challenges]], and elements from this world appear in the level [[How to Shoot your Dragon]].

[[Granny|Grannies]] no longer appear as enemies in this world, and [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|toads]] can sometimes be found instead. [[Eyebumper]]s have been replaced with the [[bouncing skull]]s from [[Fiesta de los Muertos]], and new elongated structures with snake heads appear for the first time.

==In ''Rayman Fiesta Run''==
{{StandardLevel
| name = Land of the Livid Dead
| image = [[File:Land of the Livid Dead Island.jpg|320px|Land of the Livid Dead]]
| preceded by = [[World 4 (Rayman Fiesta Run)|World 4]]
| followed by = [[Candy Land]]
}}

In ''[[Rayman Fiesta Run]]'', levels featuring the Land of the Livid Dead are similar to their counterparts from ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', where the heroes merely need to reach the end of the level as quickly as possible. These levels are unlocked by accumulating [[Teensie]]s, which are gained by collecting [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] from the normal levels in the game.

The official website for the game refers to this world as the Land of the Livid Dead Island,<ref>ubisoft.com, ''Rayman Fiesta Run'', https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/rayman/fiesta-run, « Beat all 4 new epic bosses to reach the dreaded Land of the Livid Dead Island! »</ref> suggesting that it is indeed located on an island. However, no such indications are found in the game, hinting that the idea may have been scrapped or that the terminology is purely metaphorical. Additionally, the mention of the island is present across all languages, except German.

==In ''Rayman Adventures''==
In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', the Land of the Livid Dead appeared during the [[Online Challenges#Rayman Adventures|Marathon Challenges]]. It was first introduced during the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)#Summer Marathon Event|Summer Marathon event]] and has since appeared in mini-marathons and other events. It reuses several areas and assets from ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', as well as some from other areas of the game. New here is the presence of [[Devilbob]]s, which are the only enemies to have appeared in these [[Online Challenges|challenges]].

===Unused level===
The game also features an unused level set in the Land of the Livid Dead, in which the heroes must dodge fire and defeat [[Devilbob]]s to reach [[the Captain]] at the end. While this could have been a test for the [[Online Challenges#Rayman Adventures|Marathon Challenges]], it may have the case that the Land of the Livid Dead was intended to have its own set of levels and be accessible from the [[World map (Rayman Adventures)|world map]]. Its presence on an early version of the [[World map (Rayman Adventures)|world map]] strengthens the latter possibility.

==Trivia==
*Like the [[The Land of the Livid Dead (disambiguation)|other identically named locations]], its name is a pun on the 1968 horror film ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Living_Dead Night of the Living Dead]''.
