The '''Tomb of the Ancients secret''' refers to an unnamed secret area found in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]] in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''. It is known to be accessible in the PC, Sega Dreamcast and the [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] versions of the game; in most other versions of the game, the secret is present, but there is no known way to access the area. In the Sega Dreamcast and [[Rayman 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] versions, three cheats are given to the player in the secret area.

==Description==

The entrance to the secret area in hidden in the final phase of the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], outside the door to the [[Technical Check-up]] where [[Rayman]] fights [[Clark]], ~~who~~ is ~~under the control~~ of the ~~[[Spyglass Pirate]]~~. In the ~~Sega~~ Dreamcast ~~and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game~~, if the ~~player presses~~ A, B, X, Y, X, Y (B, Y, D-Pad Right, D-Pad Left, D-Pad Right and D-Pad Left on ~~Nintendo 3DS) while Rayman is in front of~~ the ~~Technical Check-Up door~~, a puff of dust will appear on Rayman's left and a wooden crate will materialise. ~~(Pressing the equivalent buttons in any version other than the Dreamcast and the 3DS ones yields no effect.)~~ Rayman can then climb onto the crate, and use it to reach a previously inaccessible tunnel whose entrance is hidden in the shadows high on the wall. The walls of the tunnel are decorated with the engraved coffins and skulls typical of the level. As Rayman makes his way through the tunnel, he will come across three Robo-Pirate signs, one after another, each bearing a different message. The first sign says ‘To gain life points, try to shoot on a bridge’, the second says ‘To gain 3 [[Power Fist|Mega-Shoots]], try to jump under a well’, and the third says ‘To recover full life, try to push a tree’. At the very end of the tunnel, Rayman encounters an impassable net, but the player is treated to a unique view: a small forested glade with a campfire at its centre lies beyond the net, and surrounding it are two [[baby Globox]]es playing stones as if they were drums, a [[Grand Minimus]] dancing, and another large character (thought to be an early version of [[Clark]], though his face is not visible) can be seen playing a guitar. The scene is very similar to the one shown during ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'''s end credits, which may have been based on it.

The entrance to the secret area in hidden in the final phase of the [[Tomb of the Ancients]], outside the door to the [[Technical Check-up]] where [[Rayman]] fights [[Clark]]. In each version, the area can be accessed by pressing certain buttons or keys while Rayman is standing in front of the Technical Check-Up door. On the Dreamcast version, the button combination is "A, B, X, Y, X, Y", on the 3DS version, it is "B, Y, D-Pad Right, D-Pad Left, D-Pad Right and D-Pad Left" and on the PC version, typing "playjeff" will unlock the secret. If successful, a puff of dust will appear on Rayman's left and a wooden crate will materialise. Rayman can then climb onto the crate, and use it to reach a previously inaccessible tunnel whose entrance is hidden in the shadows high on the wall. The walls of the tunnel are decorated with the engraved coffins and skulls typical of the level.

The scene is very similar to the one shown during ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'''s end credits, which may have been based on it.

The secret area also exists in the PC, Nintendo 64, [[Rayman DS|Nintendo DS]] and [[Rayman Revolution|PlayStation 2]] versions of the game, but cannot be accessed without hacking, as the code to make the crate appear does not function in these versions. The three cryptic cheat codes are not given if the player uses hacking to access the secret area in the non-Dreamcast versions, and nor do they function if the player attempts to use them.

==Cheats==

Each of three messages [[Rayman]] reads as he makes his way through the secret tunnel in the [[Tomb of the Ancients]] is in fact a cryptic clue to one of three cheat codes which Rayman can activate in various locations throughout the game. It is not necessary to enter the secret area and read the messages in order to use these cheats; however, they only function in the Sega Dreamcast version of the game and its derivatives, the Nintendo 3DS and iOS versions. In the iOS version, this area cannot be accessed due to the lack of buttons, but the cheats function properly. The words do not flash across the screen when these cheats are used in the iOS version.
