The Prison Ship: Difference between revisions

'''The Prison Ship''' is a level in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes. [[Rayman]] must travel through the ''[[Buccaneer]]'', the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' prison ship, to reach the [[Admiral Razorbeard]] and save [[Globox]]. The interior of this colossal ship is filled with poor wooden construction work, various metalworks, boilers, engines and computers, and many pools and tunnels of lava and fire. It is also where [[Rayman]] ultimately frees the [[Robo-Pirate]]s' slaves – at least 45,263 of [[the Glade of Dreams|the Glade]]'s inhabitants were imprisoned there over the course of the invasion. The Prison Ship is the second-last level of the game, and is followed by the final battle with [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]'s [[Grolgoth]] atop [[the Crow's Nest]], another part of the ''[[Buccaneer]]''.

===Phase 1===

This part consists entirely of flying on [[Flying shell|the shell]], while avoiding various obstacles. After flying through a few large chambers, [[Rayman]] will have to go through two narrow rooms, navigating between wooden beams in tight spaces. Exiting these rooms, [[Rayman]] finds himself outside the ship in an open-ceiling chamber with a few beam obstacles, an opening opposite the entrance and a [[laser]] which will fire at him every couple of seconds, and is very hard to avoid. While being hit by the [[laser]] does not harm [[Rayman]], it will unbalance [[Flying shell|the shell]], and can cause it to crash if it is too close to the surface and [[Rayman]] does not stabilize his flight fast enough. [[Rayman]] must navigate through this room and enter the opening on the other side, which leads to the final chamber of the level. [[Rayman]] can instead choose to follow a trail of [[Red Lum]]s which leads to a secret tunnel with more [[Red Lum]]s, and eventually loops back to the chamber with the [[laser]]. This seems to serve no other purpose other than allowing [[Rayman]] to replenish health before the battle in [[the Crow's Nest]]. The final chamber contains more beams for [[Rayman]] to fly around before completing the level.

The level itself is identical, except for an extra cutscene at the end. In this new scene, [[Rayman]] arrives in the corridor seen at the start of the game when the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] take [[Globox]] to the cell, to find the prisoners still [[cage]]d. [[Rayman]] breaks out the prisoners, who are typically [[baby Globox]]es and [[Teensie]]s, as well as the [[bird]] seen in [[the Fairy Glade]]. The [[Teensie]]s can be seen wearing prison uniforms. [[Rayman]] then tells the freed prisoners to get off the ship whilst he finds [[Globox]] and fights [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]].

This version retains the first two sliding sections, however the first section has been altered. The section involving the [[Ninja Henchman]] has been omitted, instead, when [[Rayman]] has completed the second section, he will find himself on a [[flying shell]] in a heavily modified version of the last section.

Phase 3 no longer includes a [[Ninja Henchman]], as these are only used as guardians of the two [[generator]]s in this version. Instead, [[Rayman]] fights two [[Red Henchmen 800]].
