The Menhir Hills: Difference between revisions

'''The Menhir Hills''' is a location from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]'', and ''[[Rayman DS]]''.  It is characterized by its focus on riding [[Walking Shell]]s, its short length (one of the shortest levels in all versions of ''Rayman 2''), being the only level other than the [[Fairy Glade]] and [[Marshes of Awakening]] that [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] must re-visit at least once to complete the game, and being the first level in the game to give Rayman a sidekick--in this case, [[Clark]].

The Menhir Hills are mountainous foothills covered with large, pine tree-like boulders known as "menhirs," hence the area's name.  In most regions of the foothills, barely a sound of life can be heard, though every now and then the falling over of a menhir breaks the silence.  Large trees stand as loners in the small clearings that dot the landscape.  A great river flows through the Menhir Hills, and bridges are twice necessary to cross them.

This requirement forces the level to end immediately, unfinished.  In all versions other than the PS version, Rayman must backtrack to the [[Marshes of Awakening]] (in ''Revolution'''s case, this may be the first visit) to locate the [[Jano|Guardian of the Cave of Bad Dreams]].  As Rayman does not know the cave's name prior to his encounter with Clark, this cave was not accessible prior to the encounter.  In the PS version, Rayman may go directly to the Cave of Bad Dreams from the Menhir Hills.

===Return===

In all versions other than ''Revolution'', Rayman is again lectured by [[Murfy]] about the Walking Bullets when he returns to the Menhir Hills.  Rayman must travel through the entire level once more until he reaches Clark.

*In the ''Rayman DS'' and the N64 and PC versions of ''Rayman 2'', a Walking Shell runs by the [[Hall of Doors]] Menhir Hills portal.

*It is possible to do a very well known glitch here : the glitch of the [[Invisible Flying Keg]].
