The '''Tomb of the Ancients''' is a location in [[the Glade of Dreams]] and a level in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. This is where [[Clark]] the Giant was taken to for [[Technical Check-up|a check-up]]. The [[Robo-Pirate]]s use this place as one of their strongholds, and many signs of their occupation, such as their haphazard wooden constructions, are visible.


The Tomb of the Ancients is an eerie, haunted location which appears as a mixture of graveyard, cave, swamp and sewer. The green, poisonous water which flows throughout the Tomb is filled with [[piranha]]s and must be navigated by crossing floating wooden barrels. The walls and ground are made of dark, greenish rock, decorated by engravings of skulls and coffins and illuminated by wall-hung torches. The sky is dark and cloudy, lit only by one of the world's two moons. The Tomb is infested by creatures such as [[piranha]]s, [[spider]]s, and many [[Zombie Chicken]]s, one of which represents the level as a hologram in [[the Hall of Doors]].
It is notable for being the final level in [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]], as the final three levels of the game have all been removed.

===Phase 1===
===Phase 1===
As the player enters the level for the first time, a short cutscene is played. The [[Spyglass Pirate]] tells [[Admiral Razorbeard]] that [[Rayman]] has retrieved [[Four Masks of Polokus|the Third Mask]]. A furious Razorbeard warns him to make sure Rayman doesn't get the next one. Rayman emerges from a [[Magic Spiral Door]] onto some stairs. Once he climbs down he encounters a [[Robo-Pirate]] sign saying [[Clark]] was captured here before being brought to the [[Technical Check-up]].’ After hitting a [[switch]] that activates a door, Rayman is chased by a [[spider]] through a tomb until he reaches a few platforms sticking out of the water. Climbing on to these platforms, he reaches a passage with three possible routes. The left one leads to another platforming section where he has to avoid a [[Henchman 800]], a spider and a disembodied arm similar to the one encountered in [[The Cave of Bad Dreams]]. There is a crashed [[warship]] in this section. The right one is a graveyard with more disembodied arms and henchmen. Both of these contain switches that must be activated in order to progress further. Once the switches have been activated, Rayman must return to the passage and go forward, jumping across platforms and avoiding [[piranha]]s. Once he reaches the uppermost platform he has to jump down a hole to get to the next stage.

Once he climbs down he encounters a [[Robo-Pirate]] sign saying that ’[[Clark]] was captured here before being brought to the [[Technical Check-up]].’ After hitting a [[switch]] that opens a door, [[Rayman]] is attacked by a [[Spider (Rayman 2)‎|spider]] through a tomb until he reaches a few platforms sticking out of the water. Here, he must descend into the pit to activated a [[switch]], while being pursued by a [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]], and then escalate out using the spider web. Then, climbing on to previous platforms, he reaches a passage with three possible routes. The left one leads to another platforming section where he has to avoid a [[Red Henchman 800]], a [[Spider (Rayman 2)‎|spider]] and a disembodied [[arm]] similar to the one encountered in [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]].

The last platforming part features a secret passage which the player can access by jumping to the left once near the end of the phase. In the wall is a gap where a secret room can be found down some stairs. In this room, the player will have to fight several waves of [[Henchman 800|Henchmen 800]] before finding the [[1000th Yellow Lum]] necessary to obtain 100% completion of the game. If [[1000th Yellow Lum|this Lum]] remains uncollected, the game will be 99.9% complete, and even after it is collected the game screen will only display a total of 999 [[Yellow Lum]]s.

===Phase 2===
===Phase 2===
Rayman finds himself in front of a gate. After hitting the nearby cogs enough times to fully open it, Rayman jumps down onto a floating barrel. For the rest of the phase, he rides floating barrels and maneuvers up spiderwebs to reach the next barrel, avoiding electrical fences, [[zombie chicken]]s and [[Henchman 800|Henchmen 800s]].

He then rides the floating [[keg]]s and maneuvers up spiderwebs to reach the next barrel, avoiding electrical fences, [[zombie chicken]]s and [[Henchman 800|Henchmen 800s]]. A shortcut exists here where the player can skip a portion of the level by not entering a pipe. This phase also appears as two phases in the Nintendo 64 and [[Rayman DS|Nintendo DS]] versions. After executing another platform jump, [[Rayman]] once again rides a floating [[keg]] where he must avoid a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] throwing [[keg]]s at him from higher ground and then climb up into the [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] stronghold and defeat him. Once the [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] is defeated, a [[Purple Lum]] will appear. [[Rayman]] must use this [[Purple Lum]] to reach a net and climb up towards the next phase.

Revision as of 20:06, 27 May 2021

The Tomb of the Ancients is a location in the Glade of Dreams and a level in Rayman 2. This is where Clark the Giant was taken to for a check-up. The Robo-Pirates use this place as one of their strongholds, and many signs of their occupation, such as their haphazard wooden constructions, are visible.

It is notable for being the final level in the Game Boy Color version, as the final three levels of the game have all been removed.

In the PC, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo 3DS version of the game, a secret area can be found in the last phase of the Tomb of the Ancients. For more information, see Tomb of the Ancients secret.

Original version

A Zombie Chicken hologram represents the Tomb of the Ancients in the Hall of Doors.

Phase 1

As the player enters the level for the first time, a short cutscene is played. The Spyglass Pirate informs Admiral Razorbeard that Rayman has retrieved the third mask. A furious Razorbeard warns him to make sure Rayman doesn't get the last mask. The level then begins with Rayman emerging from a Spiral Door onto some stairs. Once he climbs down he encounters a Robo-Pirate sign saying that ’Clark was captured here before being brought to the Technical Check-up.’ After hitting a switch that opens a door, Rayman is attacked by a spider through a tomb until he reaches a few platforms sticking out of the water. Here, he must descend into the pit to activated a switch, while being pursued by a spider, and then escalate out using the spider web. Then, climbing on to previous platforms, he reaches a passage with three possible routes. The left one leads to another platforming section where he has to avoid a Red Henchman 800, a spider and a disembodied arm similar to the one encountered in the Cave of Bad Dreams. There is a crashed warship in this section. The right one is a graveyard with more disembodied arms and another Red Henchman 800. Both of these contain switches that must be activated in order to progress further. Once the switches have been activated, Rayman must return to the passage and go forward, jumping across platforms and avoiding piranhas. Once he reaches the uppermost platform he has to jump down a hole to get to the next stage.

The last platforming part features a secret passage which the player can access by jumping to the left once near the end of the phase. In the wall is a gap where a secret room can be found down some stairs. In this room, the player will have to fight several waves of Henchmen 800 before finding the 1000th Yellow Lum necessary to obtain 100% completion of the game. If this Lum remains uncollected, the game will be 99.9% complete, and even after it is collected the game screen will only display a total of 999 Yellow Lums.

How to get secret 1000th Lum (at 4:00).

Phase 2

Rayman finds himself in front of a gate. After shooting the nearby cogs enough times to fully open it, Rayman jumps down onto a floating keg. He then rides the floating kegs and maneuvers up spiderwebs to reach the next barrel, avoiding electrical fences, zombie chickens and Henchmen 800s. A shortcut exists here where the player can skip a portion of the level by not entering a pipe. This phase also appears as two phases in the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS versions. After executing another platform jump, Rayman once again rides a floating keg where he must avoid a pirate throwing kegs at him from higher ground and then climb up into the pirate stronghold and defeat him. Once the pirate is defeated, a Purple Lum will appear. Rayman must use this Purple Lum to reach a net and climb up towards the next phase.

Phase 3

The final phase begins with Rayman running across a narrow stretch of ground with polluted water towards the left, before reaching a door with a small pirate sign saying ‘Technical Check-up’ adjacent to it. (It is at this point that the entrance to the Tomb of the Ancients secret is hidden.) After opening the Technical Check-Up door, a small cutscene plays where Rayman and Clark are initially overjoyed to find each other before it is revealed that Clark has had a controlling device implanted on his back and is being controlled by the Spyglass Pirate from another room.

A boss fight ensues in which Rayman must activate a laser by hitting three switches, then tricking Clark into tripping over it in order to attack the controlling device. Once the controlling device is destroyed, Clark is restored to his normal self. Rayman climbs onto Clark's back to destroy the final cage, freeing a Teensie who then opens a Spiral Door. Rayman is then transported back to the Hall of Doors.

The first phase of the original is completely removed. The rest of the level is also edited in the form of were the start and end of each phase occurs. Alternate passages and forks has been omitted, making the level much more linear and straightforward. Overall, however, the general layout is similar, and the level still concludes with the battle against the hypnotised Clark.

Although the area depicted in the loading screen is part of the first stage of the original version, it does not actually appear in the PlayStation version.

PlayStation 2 version

In this version, Rayman discovers a treasure chest in the Technical Check-up after rescuing Clark, and upon opening it finds the Lums Radar, a magnet-like device that points the way to nearby Yellow Lums. He finds the 1000th Yellow Lum in the same chest. The secret location in phase 1, which contained the 1000th Yellow Lum in the original versions, is still present, and contains a few ordinary Yellow Lums. Therefore, Rayman must visit it to achieve 100% completion.

Whilst no real reason was ever given as to why Rayman went to the Tomb in the other versions of the game, he is specifically instructed to go here to rescue Clark in this version. In the other versions, Rayman appears to stumble across Clark solely by chance, and was simply passing through. This may be because the other games used the Hall of Doors as a level selector, where Clark does not need to do anything: whereas in Revolution, the game can not progress without Clark to open the way to the Iron Mountains, due to Revolution's use of a free roaming world map.

If Rayman destroys any Robo-Pirates and then revisits the level, they are replaced by Zombie Pirates.
