Olympus Maximus: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

One of the most important environments of this world is that of the labyrinth. These labyrinths are vast closed structures constructed in grey stone. On the walls, complicated diagrams appear, or sometimes symbols, such as a stylised "H", which resembles a gate of Hell and probably references Hades. These structures and diagrams on the walls probably reference the labyrinths of ancient mythology, most notably that constructed on Crete by Daedalus to imprison the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minotaur Minotaur] (the creature which inspired [[Minotaur|the main enemies of this world]]). Sometimes, huge floating stone cubes appear as elements of the scenery. In the ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' level [[Hell Breaks Loose]], we learn that [[Dragon (Olympus Maximus)|dragons]] live among these floating cubes. These [[Dragon (Olympus Maximus)|dragons]] might reference oriental mythology.

The walls are often covered with spikes, and numerous [[buzzsaw]]s appear on the paths through the labyrinths, which makes these sections resemble somewhat the factories of the [[Moody Clouds]] of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. Little turrets appear on the walls, which shoot flaming swords which follow the heroes (like the missiles shot by the [[hunter]]s or the turrets of the [[Moody Clouds]] and [[20,000 Lums ~~under~~ the Sea]]). To progress in these sections, the heroes must use their power to run on the walls quite often. Another detail of this environment, which is quite strange, is the fact that drums sometimes appear, which bounce the heroes when they jump on them. Some sections invert the screen, which increases the difficulty of the puzzles.

In this labyrinth, the heroes again meet the [[Dark Teensy|Dark Teensie]], who is oiling the wings of his flying contraption. When he sees them, he calls some [[Dragon (Olympus Maximus)|dragons]] from the depths of the labyrinths, who come and chase the heroes, and escapes from the place. The heroes must avoid the dragons by running on the floors, the walls and the ceilings of the labyrinth, before using a [[Champibumper]] to return to the Underworld, where [[Murfy]] helps them use jets of lava to kill their pursuers.

This world culminates in [[A Cloud of Darkness!|a long battle]] against [[Hades' Hand|a floating horde]] of [[dark creature]]s. This begins in the abyss, but the creatures and the heroes use air currents to get back up onto Mount Olympus, where the battle ends definitively. Once the cloud is defeated, the heroes can walk about peacefully on the mountain, where a large amount of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] is poured on top of them as a reward for saving the world. Then they find the [[Dark ~~Teensie~~]], who has also somehow escaped from the abyss. He tries to flee but gets stuck between two pillars. The heroes can then send him to the [[moon]].

The musical level [[Dragon Slayer]] features a parody of the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfD8Dnh2xho Antisocial] by Trust, and has sections which take place in the abyss and in the labyrinths, with [[champibumper]]s linking them. At the end of the level, the heroes can see that the temples of the abyss are collapsing after the defeat of the nightmares.

Olympus Maximus is the second world in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. It is unlocked once the [[Sacred Tree]] grows to at least 210 meters high. The [[dark ~~creatures~~]] are absent.
