The Fairy Glade: Difference between revisions

'''The Fairy Glade''' or '''the Fairy's Glade''' is a location in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. It follows [[the Woods of Light]] and is the second level in all versions of the game but [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]], in which it is the first level. This is where [[Rayman]] enters the [[Robo-Pirate]] stronghold where [[Ly]] the Fairy is held captive and eventually frees her.

==Original version==

* In phase 2, at the area with the tree covered with vines, there is another [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] at ground level. Then in the next area, there is a funny looking plant that has to be watered with the [[Rain Mask]] later on in the game. When it grows, it can then be used to access the area of the level which in previous versions, could be backtracked via [[the Echoing Caves]].

* In phase 3, instead of the passage in the left of the [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] stronghold, there is now a ledge in which there is [[Yellow mushroom|a tiny yellow mushroom]]. Like the plant earlier on, this has to be watered with the [[Rain Mask]], and once it is grown, [[Rayman]] can eat it. Alluding to [[Flying Blue Elf|the blue elves]] in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Yellow mushroom|this mushroom]] will make him shrink, and then he can squeeze through a hole in a pile of rocks and find the hidden [[cage]]. He will have to defeat a [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]] while he is still tiny, too. Another [[yellow mushroom]] is then found, grown and eaten to bring him back to normal size.

* In the room with the [[keg]]s, a metal [[sparadrap]] on the pipes needs to be destroyed to lower the metal grating. The secret room with the [[cage]] also appears to have three small prisons. There is no netting on the ceiling, but rather a wooden floor, and the [[switch]] that opens the door is on another wall. Then, near the extra [[Robo-Pirate|pirate]], there is a dining room, and then [[Rayman]] finds the [[switch]] that will deactivate the electric bars, and moves on.

* Phase 4 holds the most notable of differences in level design. Instead of a clearing, there is a prison, full of [[cage]]s and rooms in which a number of [[Yellow Lum]]s are found. Instead of one machine that powers [[Ly]]'s prison, it is a cluster of many machines, though the three weaknesses are still there. One machine has a hidden [[cage]].

==Trivia==

*Due to the need to return via [[the Echoing Caves]] to acquire the last [[cage]], the Fairy Glade is the only world in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' that cannot be completed 100% during the player's first visit. This is not the case in [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version]] where the relevant [[cage]] has been removed, and ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' where other levels also have secret areas that cannot be accessed during the first visit.
