The '''Four Masks of Polokus''' are a group of magical masks that appear in ''[[Rayman 2~~: The Great Escape~~]]''. Long ago, the god [[Polokus]] left [[the Glade of Dreams]], but first he created the four masks and hid them away in secret Sanctuaries. When [[Rayman]] rescues [[Ly the Fairy]] near the beginning of the game, she relates the story of the [[Polokus]], telling him that he must retrieve the four masks if they are to have any hope of defeating the [[Robo-Pirate]] army. Each Sanctuary is protected by a Guardian, who was instructed by [[Polokus]] to ward off any intruders that attempt to steal them. The fourth mask is not protected by a Guardian in most versions, and is instead found by a helpful [[baby Globox]] in [[the Iron Mountains]]. The Guardians were omitted in ''[[Rayman 2 Forever]]'', the Game Boy Color version.

Line 13:

Each of the Four Masks of Polokus is contained within a four-sided pillar at the end of its Sanctuary; each side of these pillars is decorated by the same [[Rayman's symbol|‘O’-shaped symbol]] found on [[Rayman]]'s chest. When [[Rayman]] approaches these pillars, a beam of energy connects [[Rayman's symbol|his symbol]] with one of the ones on the pillar, causing the pillar to open, and the Mask to rise out of it for [[Rayman]] to collect. When [[Rayman]] takes hold of one of the Masks, he is teleported to [[Polokus]], who takes the Mask from him and affixes it to one of the four sides of the pillar he is standing on (this pillar looks the same as the ones the Masks are found in). When all four Masks are attached to [[Polokus]]'s pillar, the pillar spins rapidly, transforming into a gas-like substance. When [[Rayman]] steps into this at [[Polokus]]'s instruction, he is transported to [[the Prison Ship]]. Then, the pillar resolidifies under the newly-awakened [[Polokus]], but the Four Masks are nowhere to be seen.

In the Sega Dreamcast version ~~of ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]''~~, the player can gain access to the [[Globox Disc]] minigame in the [[Globox Village]] by collecting the [[Glob Crystal]]s. Entering the [[Globox Disc]] minigame causes a short cutscene to play: [[Globox]] and [[Uglette]] are watching as [[Baby Globox|their children]] play; the First and Third Masks are visible on wooden sticks in the background; the other two Masks are presumably also in the area. A male [[baby Globox]] accidentally drops the Third Mask into a pool of water; this causes a [[Globox]]-shaped statue to rise out of the pool. The statue opens its mouth and sinks back into the pool, leaving behind the [[Globox Disc]] on which the [[Baby Globox|babies]] play the ‘Game of the Gods’.

In ''[[Rayman M]]'', the bonus arena level [[Spooky Towers]] features an enormous carving of the third Mask of Polokus. It adorns the top of the tower that stands in the centre of the level.
