| | ====Reuniting with Clark==== |
| The next level is the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], an eerie graveyard-themed location. This area is under the rule of the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, who have several important installations here and seem to be burying their dead in the area. At the beginning of the level, [[Rayman]] finds a sign saying that the pirates have captured his friend [[Clark]] here and taken him to the [[Technical Check-up]]. This level also contains a notable secret passage in which Rayman can find the [[1000th Yellow Lum]] – the one which [[Admiral Razorbeard]] ate earlier in the game – though it is unclear how it came to be there. Another secret area, nicknamed the [[Tomb of the Ancients secret]], shows a strange celebration taking place and allows the player to unlock several cheat codes. At the end of the level, Rayman comes to the Technical Check-up, where he finds Clark. The giant is at first delighted to see his friend, but he soon begins acting strangely. Rayman discovers that he has a mechanical device implanted in his back; he is being controlled by the [[Spyglass Pirate]], a servant of [[Admiral Razorbeard]]. Rayman is forced to fight his friend, and eventually manages to destroy the remote-control device, freeing him from the Spyglass Pirate. Clark helps Rayman reach a [[Teensie]] [[cage]] and complete the level.
| | Rayman next enters the Tomb of the Ancients, where a sign alerts the player to the capture of Clark and his imprisonment in the [[Technical Check-up]], which is located within the area. The Tomb of the Ancients is notable for having secret passages, with one leading to the [[1000th Yellow Lum]], another allowing the player to skip through a large section of the level, and another that can only be legitimately accessed in the Dreamcast and Nintendo 3DS version of the game, nicknamed the [[Tomb of the Ancients secret]]. Once the player has reached the end of the level, it is revealed that the Robo-Pirates have been able to bring Clark under their control using a device implanted into his back. The [[Spyglass Pirate]] is shown demonstrating his control over Clark, before control is returned to the player, who must break the device. Once the device is broken, Clark lifts Rayman high enough to break the cage containing the [[Teensie]] to exit the level, and consequently exits the area. |

| | Finally, Rayman makes it to the [[Iron Mountains]], where he traverses through various pirate installations contained within the area. The area itself contains areas of differing themes, including swamps, rapids, an island and finally some [[Pirate Mines|mines]]. During his travels in the area, he comes across the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]], guarded by a [[Robot Dinosaur]]. Rayman infiltrates the facility and frees the captive [[baby Globox]]es within, before using a [[Walking Shell]] to reach the mines. |

| Next is [[the Iron Mountains]], a strange and eclectic level. First [[Rayman]] finds himself in a rainy swamp. Then he passes into a [[Robo-Pirate]] installation, goes through a high-tech electrical barrier with many moving parts, and emerges in a mountainous area where he must fight another [[Ninja Pirate]] – the second of only two in the entire game. He then [[helicopter]]s down into a [[hot air balloon]], which takes him to a misty, [[menhir]]-filled peak called [[the Gloomy Island]]. He makes his way past the gigantic [[Robot Dinosaur]] and enters the [[Reformatory for Disturbing Children]], where some of the [[baby Globox]]es are imprisoned. Eventually Rayman manages to free them, and rides a [[walking shell]] past the Robot Dinosaur and into a passage which leads to the next area – [[the Pirate Mines]]. Here Rayman meets a distraught [[Uglette]], who informs him that the pirates have kidnapped her and [[Globox]]'s babies and put them to forced labour in the mines. She says that Globox tried to stop them, but the pirates captured him too, and took him to the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. Rayman commandeers an unmanned nearby [[Warship]] and uses it to fly around to the four mines – north, south, east and west – collecting hundreds of baby Globoxes. He brings them back to Uglette, who is overjoyed. One of the baby Globoxes reaches into him mouth and takes out a mask, which he says he found in the mines. Rayman sees it and realises that it is the fourth and final [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]]; saying goodbye to Uglette and the babies, he takes the Mask and is transported to [[Polokus]]'s domain. Polokus congratulates Rayman, takes the Mask and attaches it to the remaining side of his four-sides stone column. The stone begins to spin rapidly, blurring until it is transfigured into a transparent, glowing portal. Polokus tells Rayman that, now that he has been awakened, he can destroy all of the Robo-Pirates in [[the Glade of Dreams]], but says that he has no power in the air – Rayman himself must confront [[Admiral Razorbeard]] onboard the flying ''[[Buccaneer]]''. Rayman steps into Polokus's portal; his health is increased to maximum, and he is transported to [[the Hall of Doors]].
| | Within the mines, Rayman encounters [[Uglette]], who is in despair over the loss of her babies, who are being used as labour in the mines, and Globox, who in the defense of their babies has been captured and sent to the [[Buccaneer|Pirate's Prison Ship]]. Rayman calms Uglette and promises to free her children, making use of a nearby [[Warship]] to travel to each mine and to allow the babies to leave. Once he has visited all the mines, Rayman returns and reunites the babies with Uglette. Uglette and her children then board the Warship to leave, but one of the children passes off the final mask to Rayman, stating that they had found it within the mines. Rayman says his goodbyes to the Globox family, and departs to Polokus. |
