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.

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]] informs [[Admiral Razorbeard]] that [[Rayman]] has retrieved [[Four Masks of Polokus|the third mask]]. A furious [[Admiral Razorbeard|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.

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]].
