'''The Tomb of the Ancients''' is a location in the world of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.
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, in short, is a haunted graveyard within a cave. There are many tombstones and wooden dolls around here. The place is filled with green, poisonous water. The walls and ground are made of dark rock with a bluish tinge on them. You can hardly ever see any sky here, although when you can, you see a blackened, creepy sky. This place is haunted by [[Zombie Chickens]], Piranhas and Bats.
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.


In [[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]/[[Rayman Revolution]]/[[Rayman DS]], the Pirates use this place for one of their strongholds, meaning a lot of wood and [[Robo-Pirate Army|Robo-Pirate]]s themselves.
In the PC, Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] version of the game, [[Tomb of the Ancients secret|a secret area]] can be found in the last phase of the Tomb of the Ancients.

==Original version==
===Phase 1===
As the player enters the level for the first time, a short cutscene is played. The [[Spyglass Pirate]] informs [[Razorbeard|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 [[Four Masks of Polokus|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 (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]]. There is a crashed [[warship]] in this section. The right one is a graveyard with more disembodied [[arm]]s and another [[Red Henchman 800]]. Both of these contain [[switch]]es that must be activated in order to progress further. Once the [[switch]]es 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.
 
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===
[[Rayman]] finds himself in front of a gate. After [[Magic fist|shooting]] the nearby cogs enough times to fully open it, [[Rayman]] jumps down onto a floating [[keg]]. 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.
 
===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 [[Robo-Pirate|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 [[switch]]es, 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 level is identical to the original version, barring a few graphical enhancements such as the presence of [[bat]]s. Notably, the secret area at the end of the level has been finished and is now accessible via a button code.

==PlayStation version==
The first phase of the original is completely removed. The rest of the level is also edited in the form of where the start and end of each phase occurs. Alternate passages and forks have 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 Lum]]s. He finds the [[1000th Yellow Lum]] in the same chest. The secret location in phase 1, which contained [[1000th Yellow Lum|the 1000th Yellow Lum]] in the original versions, is still present, and contains a few ordinary [[Yellow Lum]]s. Therefore, [[Rayman]] must visit it to achieve 100% completion.
In addition, Rayman finds the Lums Radar, a sort of magnet that attracts to Yellow Lums, in a treasure chest. Also, if Rayman has destroyed any Robo-Pirates, and revisits the place, they will be replaced by [[Zombie Pirates]].
 
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 ''[[Rayman Revolution|Revolution]]'', the game can not progress without [[Clark]] to open the way to [[the Iron Mountains]], due to ''[[Rayman Revolution|Revolution]]'''s use of [[The Front|a free roaming world map]].
 
If [[Rayman]] destroys any [[Robo-Pirate]]s and then revisits the level, they are replaced by [[Zombie Pirate]]s.
