===Phase 1===

The [[cage]] under the net can be accessed if [[Rayman]] goes back to the first [[plum]] tree and uses the fruit to travel all the way back to the beginning of the stage, where he will find a tunnel that leads to a cavern. In there, there is a pit with a new type of lava that will actually burn away the [[plum]], with a large pointed metal spike sticking out. [[Rayman]] has to throw a [[plum]] onto it to help him get to the other side. Then, using two more spikes, he will throw another [[plum]] onto one, allow it to fall off the spike, and then do the same again until the [[plum]] can be used to help him reach a ledge that leads to the hidden [[cage]].

===Phase 2 (the optional temple)===

This second temple does not hide away [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask of Polokus]] and is therefore completely optional. It does however have some [[cage]]s and [[Yellow Lum]]s to find. Inside the first room is a pit of lava with a stone bridge over it, and a set of flamethrowers (stone carvings that resembles mouths and shoot fire from time to time). On one of the pillars is a [[cage]], and between them is a door that can be broken down by [[Rayman]]'s [[Magic fist|shots]]. Then there is another pit of lava below a stalactite that grows from the ceiling - this can be [[Magic fist|shot]] down and used to cross the pit. Down the corridor, [[Rayman]] will encounter another stalactite and a [[cage]], and will then come across several pillars that can only be knocked down by [[Magic fist|shooting]] the wooden [[sparadrap]]s that a stuck on them.

After crossing a set of broken stone paths down the lava river, and [[Magic fist|shooting]] down another stalactite, [[Rayman]] will step on a piece of [[rock]] that flows down the river by itself, until he sees a set of smooth stone altars, one of which leads to a short corridor round the back crawling with [[small spider]]s, which then leads to the top where a [[Purple Lum]] flies. [[Rayman]] uses that to cross the gap, and then go down the next corridor. There, he will drop down, and come across another moving piece of [[rock]] floating in the lava, and [[Magic fist|shooting]] down more stalactites and avoiding the flamethrowers, he makes it to a set of staircases. The one to his left doesn't lead to anywhere, so he needs to take the one to his right, which leads to a room with three breakable doors. One contains times [[Red Lum]]s, one contains a [[cage]] and a [[Power Fist]], the last contains a giant [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]]. This very door then leads a [[walking shell]], which runs across the stone ledges, across rivers of lava, to the exit of this temple.

===Phase 1 (revisited)===

Unlike [[Axel]], who was aggressive and tried to ward [[Rayman]] away from [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask]], [[Umber]] will not fight, but rather allow [[Rayman]] to stand on his head and sink into the pool of lava that finally leads to the pillar that keeps [[Four Masks of Polokus|the second mask]] inside. [[Rayman]] gives this to [[Polokus]], and then continues his journey to find the next one.

This level contains a number of the graphical enhancements characteristic of the Dreamcast version. The most notable is the addition of an active volcano in the background at the very beginning of the level. The volcano which forms the heart of the map-like [[The Isle of Doors|Isle of Doors]] may be a representation of this one. In addition, after placing the golden [[Magic Sphere|sphere]], the set of stairs that leads up to the rotating door has been replaced with a [[Spider (Rayman 2)|spider]] web.

The level is mostly identical to the original, but has a few tweaks and graphical enhancements.

===Major changes===

===Minor changes===

* The battle with the [[Mini Jano]] features different music and a different camera angle.

====Phase 2====

* The passage leading from the [[Spider (Rayman 2)|big spider]] to the [[Walking shell|shell]] ride is covered with cobwebs.

* The first tunnel in the [[Walking shell|shell]] ride is covered with [[nettle]]s instead of lava.

The level is easier if returned to after completion of [[Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava|the Lava Sanctuary]], where [[Rayman]] gains the ability to hover over lava. In particular, most of phase 2 and phase 3 can be completed without [[plum]]s and auxiliary platforms, although it takes longer. More importantly, the entire second part of phase 3 featuring the silver [[Magic sphere|sphere]] can be skipped, as [[Rayman]] does not need to awaken [[Umber]] at all, and can just hover over the lava river to the exit chamber.

In ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire directly follows [[the Canopy]], but contains no [[Four Masks of Polokus|mask]]. However, it still features [[plum]]s, and a section where the lava is rising. The music for the first two levels is an edited version of [[the Precipice]]. The final level contains the Game Boy Color games' standard boss battle music.
