===Storming [[the Prison Ship]]===
===Storming [[the Prison Ship]]===
[[Image:Buccaneer prow.jpg|thumb|right|318px|The prow of the ''Buccaneer'' is an enormous metal skull.]]
Near the end of the game, after [[Rayman]] returns the fourth and final [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask]] to [[Polokus]]; [[Polokus]] transports [[Rayman]] to the ''Buccaneer''. This level is called [[the Prison Ship]]. Meanwhile, [[the General]] (a malevolent character who also appeared in ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'') sells the ''Buccaneer'''s [[Admiral Razorbeard]] a pilotable war-machine called the [[Grolgoth]]. [[Rayman]] has to make his way past treacherous slides and fly through labyrinthine passageways on a [[flying shell]] before he finally found his way to the part of the ship where the prisoners (including many [[bird]]s, [[Teensie]]s, [[Ludiv]]s and [[baby Globox]]es) were being held. A [[Teensie]] opens a [[Spiral Door]] through which the prisoners can escape, and [[Rayman]] runs off, saying he still needs to find [[Globox]].

The next (and final) level, [[the Crow's Nest]], takes place on the crow's nest of the ''Buccaneer'' and follows directly from the previous level. [[Admiral Razorbeard]] lures [[Rayman]] to the nest by using [[Globox]] as bait. After managing to get [[Globox]] out of harm's way, [[Rayman]] confronts [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], who is now wielding the [[Grolgoth]] he purchased from [[the General]]. [[Rayman]] manages to damage the [[Grolgoth]] a little in a brief struggle which ends when the [[Grolgoth]]'s weight causes the floor of the crow's nest to collapse. [[Rayman]] and the [[Grolgoth]] are both sent plunging directly through the ''Buccaneer'''s hollow mast into the lava pool below. [[Rayman]] is saved by [[Ly]] the Fairy, who sends a [[Silver Lum]] which catches [[Rayman]] and gives him a [[flying shell]] with an energy-weapon attached. He then turns to see the [[Grolgoth]] clinging to the walls of the lava-filled chamber. After a long battle in this furnace, [[Rayman]] defeats [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]], who activates the [[Grolgoth]]'s self-destruct mechanism before entering his escape pod and flying up through the mast (and eventually into outer space). The [[Grolgoth]]'s explosion is large enough to destroy the ''Buccaneer'' completely. [[Rayman]]'s friends can find only his shoe and presume him dead; however, he survived the explosion and is reunited with them at the end of the game.
