The Precipice: Difference between revisions

''‘Take a [[Warship|vessel]] and only come back with his dead body!’'' —[[Admiral Razorbeard]]

'''The Precipice''' is a location in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', notable for having similar gameplay to [[the Bayou]].

This level takes place in a wide canyon, where [[Rayman]] is in pursuit by the [[Robo-Pirate]] army shooting bombs and shells at him. He has to escape them by running across a weak pier, climbing on nets, and jump whenever bits of it are blasted off.

[[Rayman]] enters a cave and follows another wooden pier, which leads him to a tower the Pirates built that sinks under rising water (reminiscent to the flooding levels in the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman]]''), while bombs and rolling kegs try to slow him down.   

[[Rayman]] comes out somewhere else in the canyon, and is still in pursuit across wooden piers. There is then a cave with a bottomless pit, which [[Rayman]] has to glide through until he lands on another pier. At the end of this, he ends up on a pirate stronghold which was built over a cliff, still under attack by a [[Ninja Henchman]] and bombs. Notably, these bombs can hit the [[Ninja Henchman]], inflicting him 5 damage (one third of its [[resistance]]). Once the pirate is defeated, [[Rayman]] can exit after freeing the [[Teensie]].  

* One of the game's six [[Glob Crystal]]s is found hidden at the very end of the Precipice. For every two Glob Crystals collected, a new minigame becomes accessible from the [[Globox Village]].

The level is identical to the original, except there are more Yellow Lums to be collected.

==PlayStation 2 version==

This version plays out as part of a large mission to destroy 2 generators to enter The Lava Sanctuary. It has had many alterations made, based around the fact that it now has 4 phases. Phase 2 has been removed and now features as Phase 1 of [[the Echoing Caves]]. Phase 3 has become phase 2 accordingly, but the level now features phases 2 and 3 of the original Echoing Caves as phases 3 and 4, concluding with a [[Ninja Henchman]] battle as the player attempts to destroy the generator.

In [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color adaptation]], the Precipice directly follows [[the Echoing Caves]], and it also features [[warship]]s, though they don't move at all. It is also the only time that Rayman fights a pirate, aside from the final battle of course.
