'''The Woods of Light''', also known as '''the Clearing''', is the first level in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remakes. It follows [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]]'s escape from  [[the Buccaneer]], and is the first level in all versions of the game but [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color adaptation]], in which it doesn't appear at all. It is a tutorial level without enemies and significantly shorter than the other levels in the game. This is where [[Rayman]] learns that [[Ly the Fairy]] was captured by the [[Robo-Pirate Army|pirates]] and then decides to set her free.

[[Rayman]] soon finds the first [[cage]] in the game, which contains the first [[yellow Lum]] he will collect. He has to go down a waterfall, and then up a small valley to find three [[baby Globox]]es crying.

At the end of the level, a [[purple Lum]] giving access to [[Globox Village]] can be found, even though [[Rayman]] will have to get [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]]'s [[silver Lum]] in [[the Fairy Glade]] first.

The level was significantly remodelled in the PlayStation version, but very little actually changes in [[Rayman]]'s progression. The waterfall at the beginning of the level is totally different, and the part where [[Rayman]] has to climb between two walls was replaced by several pillars and a rope ladder. [[Murfy]] doesn't appear and the advice is given by [[Ly the Fairy|Ly]] instead.

In ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', this level may only be accessed once, and the beginning area has been completely remodelled. This is where [[Rayman]] acquires his [[magic fist]] from the [[Grand Minimus]], who gives him a [[Silver Lum]].
