'''The Crow's Nest''' is the final level in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where [[Rayman]] finally takes on [[Razorbeard\|Admiral Razorbeard]] and attempts to save [[Globox]].

	Although it too is set on the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', the Crow's Nest is handled as a different level to [[the Prison Ship]], possibly because the designers felt that it would be too difficult for the player if [[the Prison Ship]] led directly into this fight; another reason is that players might want to be able to return instantly to the last battle, rather than having to play all the way through an entire level to reach it. This method of design is particularly useful in the PlayStation version, as players can now return to the final fight, complete it and access [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)\|the post-credits 2D bonus level]].

After it is knocked down three times, [[~~Admiral Razorbeard\|~~Razorbeard]] attempts to take a giant jump and crush [[Rayman]], but he misses and causes the floor to cave in.

	Far away from ''[[Buccaneer]]'', [[Ly]] the Fairy meditates in a small glade. She responds to [[Rayman]]'s screams, and sends what looks like a [[Silver Lum]] to his location which saves him from falling into lava. [[Silver Lum\|The Lum]] catches him and gently guides him to safety, where he finds a [[flying shell]]. An image of [[Ly]] then appears to tell him that [[Polokus]] has destroyed all [[Robo-Pirate]]s on the land and encourages him to defeat [[~~Admiral Razorbeard\|~~Razorbeard]] to complete their victory.

	[[Rayman]] then turns around to see that [[~~Admiral Razorbeard\|~~Razorbeard]] and the [[Grolgoth]] have survived, and the second phase of the battle begins. In a room full of lava, his [[Grolgoth]] keeps itself away from the lava by holding itself up on two wooden posts and attacks by shooting heat seeking missiles as the battle goes on. Towards the end of the battle, [[~~Admiral Razorbeard\|~~Razorbeard]] will periodically raise the level of the lava in the chamber, making it more difficult for [[Rayman]] to stay above it.

	[[Rayman]] attacks by finding an energy sphere in either of two tunnels, and shoots at each arm, causing the [[Grolgoth]] to fall in the lava. While the [[Grolgoth]] is in the lava, [[Rayman]] can shoot it directly for some additional damage. The energy sphere provides exactly 5 shots, after which it reappears (randomly) in one of the tunnels, and the process must be repeated. Eventually, [[~~Admiral Razorbeard\|~~Razorbeard]] abandons the [[Grolgoth]] and escapes, setting a five-second time bomb that explodes the entire ''[[Buccaneer]]'' with [[Rayman]] still in it.

	In the area where [[Rayman]] encountered [[Polokus]] earlier in the game, everybody mourns over all they could find left of [[Rayman]]; his left shoe. But suddenly, the shoe starts glowing, and [[Rayman]] emerges from the trees nearby, holding a walking stick in his shoe's absence. The shoe bounces back to [[Rayman]], and the [[baby Globox]]es run up to [[Rayman]] and hug him, happy for him to be alive, while everyone else cheers.

	The main difference in this version lies in phase 2; in this phase the [[Grolgoth]] is flying backwards through a endless tunnel and [[Rayman]] has to shoot the [[Grolgoth]] while avoiding all obstacles. There are also little differences in the [[Grolgoth]]'s attacks in phase 1. (See [[The Crow's Nest#External links\|the external links]] for a demonstration.)

	Another subtle difference is that part of the opening cutscene is removed, as the scene where [[~~Admiral Razorbeard\|~~Razorbeard]] hears that [[Rayman]] is on the ship and scolds the [[Spyglass Pirate]] for it occurs at the end of [[the Prison Ship]] instead.
