Ancient Egg: Difference between revisions

[[File:The Ancient Egg.png|350px|thumbnail|right|An ancient egg that appears in the reveal trailer for Rayman Adventures.]]

'''Ancient Eggs''' are the main objects in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. These eggs contain the ''[[Incrediball|Incrediballs]]'', creatures who are inside these eggs. The Ancient Eggs used to reside inside the ''[[Sacred Tree]]'', that is until some ''[[Livingstones|Lividstones]]'' broke inside the tree, stole the eggs, and unaware to them, had the eggs scattered all over the ''[[Glade of Dreams]]''. One of these eggs falls upon [[Rayman]] or [[Barbara]] (whoever the player chooses) and this starts off the premise for the game. Eggs appear on both the World Map and Adventure Map in Rayman Adventures and are shown to be imprisoned in cages.

*'''Bronze''': These eggs are ''common'', meaning the player will be finding these more than others on the Adventure Map.  

*'''Silver''': These eggs are ''uncommon'', meaning the player will be finding these less than bronze eggs, but more than gold and crystal eggs on the Adventure Map.

*'''Gold''': These eggs are ''rare'', meaning the player will be finding these less than bronze and silver eggs, but are way more common than crystal eggs on the Adventure Map.

*'''Crystal (Purple)''': These eggs are ''royal''. These are rarest eggs in the game. These eggs only appear on the Adventure Map when all other lower rarity members of an [[Incrediball]] family have been found and hatched.

Before the player can release the Incrediball within, the eggs must be incubated inside '''[[Incubator|The Incubator]]'''. In previous versions of the game, the hatch time for each egg was eight hours. But beginning in the 1.3.7 update, the hatch time has been reduced to four hours and in the 1.4.0 update, some eggs' wait times were reduced to two hours with bronze and silver Surprise eggs only taking 30 minutes. Gold Surprise eggs take an hour and thirty minutes to hatch. While inside the Incubator, the player can use the many [[Elixir (Rayman Adventures)|elixirs]] they have obtained and alter the egg's rarity or hatch time. Though if the player finds and incubates a non-Surprise egg, they cannot use a New Creature elixir on it as that egg guarantees a new creature when hatched.

Event Exclusive Eggs were introduced in version 1.4.0. For each [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|event]] in the game, there are special event eggs which can be obtained using the collectibles of the event. Each event egg guaranteed one new member of the event-exclusive Incrediball families inside.  

Each event had a special design for the eggs that only appeared in the event's shop.

Starting from version 1.5.5, duplicate eggs have now been replaced by Surprise Eggs. These eggs don't hatch new Incrediballs, but will instead reward the player with items, such as gems or [[food]]. All elixirs can be used on these eggs. Surprise Eggs come in all rarities except Crystal (Royal).
