The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava

The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava is a level in Rayman 2: The Great Escape. It is the last of the sanctuaries to bear one of the Four Masks of Polokus, which is actually beneath the sanctuary, and is the second one to be filled with lava. In Rayman Revolution it's called Beneath the Lava Sanctuary or Beneath the Sanctuary of Lava. It also features a new mini-boss called Chenille, a larger, reddish version of the shadow creatures.

This sanctuary is located deep in the marshlands, and inside the temple are steams of lava and thickets of nettles. Rayman can avoid these by standing on floating nenuphars which carry him though the nettle pits, but eventually either wither away or get burnt.

The level continues as a separate level set beneath the sanctuary, where the Lava mask is really hidden.

The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava ← The Top of the World Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava → The Walk of Power Original version Phase 1 The level begins in a swamp. An entrance to the Walk of Power can be found nearby to the left. Rayman soon passes through the swamp and finds himself inside the Sanctuary itself. Inside he finds a nenuphar which takes him to the lower floor, and he must break several obstacle walls along the way. Once there, he has to jump across some collapsing pillars and hit on a switch to get through the door. Phase 2 Once through the door, Rayman finds himself in a room with a rotating stone structure floating above a pool of lava. Once he climbs it and makes his way to the next room, he must hit a switch in a room full of attacking caterpillars, and quickly jump the door temporarily opened by the switch. Rayman must them make his way through a lava-filled passage where deadly shifting walls threaten to push him off their platforms. At the end, a cage containing a Teensie can be found. Once freed, the Teensie creates a Door to take Rayman back to the Hall.
