'''The Sanctuary of Water and Ice''' is a location in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes. It follows [[the Bayou]] in all versions of the game except [[Rayman 2 Forever|the Game Boy Color version]] in which it is absent, and [[Rayman 2 (PlayStation)|the PlayStation version]] where the Sanctuary is found at the end of [[Whale Bay]]. In [[Rayman Revolution|the PlayStation 2 version]] the Sanctuary is found on [[the Lost Island]], but the level itself retains its original name. This is where [[Rayman]] fights [[Axel]] and finds [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask of Polokus]]. | '''The Sanctuary of Water and Ice''' is a location in ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and its remakes.

Before entering the Sanctuary, [[Rayman]] is instead teleported to a hall, in which he meets the four [[Teensie]]s he met in [[the Woods of Light]]. They tell him that he is now in [[the Chamber of the Teensies]], a strange place that grants access to new worlds, provided that [[Rayman]] has collected at least 100 [[Yellow Lum]]s. If he has, then they will allow him to pass through the gigantic stone doors. A little hesitant, [[Rayman]] approaches them, and is then coaxed to go in by the [[Teensie]]s. | Before entering the Sanctuary, [[Rayman]] is instead teleported to a hall, in which he meets the four [[Teensie]]s he met in [[the Woods of Light]].

[[Rayman]] arrives on the beach of an island – one side, there are cliffs to climb, on the other side is a wooden pier with a [[cage]] hanging from a pole. While climbing up the cliffs, he will encounter a [[crab]] and a [[purple Henchman 800]] that can drill into the ground and tunnel to a nearby position – the drill can be deadly if it emerges and catches [[Rayman]] from underground. At the top of the cliffs, there is a little cave, and a pool of water, which has an underwater passage that leads to a small room with a [[cage]]. | [[Rayman]] arrives on the beach of an island – one side, there are cliffs to climb, on the other side is a wooden pier with a [[cage]] hanging from a pole.

[[Rayman]] will then have to go back that way, and then climb the netted ladder, where he will then end up on a higher cliff on which small [[Robo-Pirate]] installations were constructed. There is also a strange door, and on its foot are two odd looking triangles, a yellow and a blue one – the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] have been looking for a way to open this door as well. Then [[Rayman]] will encounter a [[red Henchman 800]], and once the coast is clear, he can proceed to throwing [[keg]]s at the metal [[sparadrap]]s that lock the two buildings. Each one contains a [[Magic Sphere]], which needs to be placed on top of these triangular bases according to their colour. Once they are both placed on, the door, which leads to the Sanctuary itself, will open. It is possible to move [[Rayman]] during the scene depicting the door opening. If the player moves him away from the location of the scene, he will disappear off screen, although will simply be found by the player wherever he ended up after the cut scene. | [[Rayman]] will then have to go back that way, and then climb the netted ladder, where he will then end up on a higher cliff on which small [[Robo-Pirate]] installations were constructed.

After stepping through the passageway, [[Rayman]] finds himself on a blue stone platform, floating in a star-filled abyss reminiscent of [[the Hall of Doors]]. Chunks of stone float in the void. [[Rayman]] must slide down a slippery, water-coated slope, jumping over bottomless pits, sliding through icy tunnels and catching [[Yellow Lum]]s as he goes. At the end of this series of slopes, [[Rayman]] slides up a ramp into the air and finds himself face-to-face with [[Axel]], the Guardian of the Sanctuary of Water and Ice, who exists solely to defend [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask of Polokus]] from all intruders. A chain of [[Purple Lum]]s leads from [[Rayman]] to [[Axel]]; with his [[grappling fist]], [[Rayman]] must swing from one [[Purple Lum]] to the next while avoiding the icicles thrown by [[Axel]]. When [[Rayman]] gets close enough, he must use his [[magic fist]] to strike the icicle hanging above [[Axel]]'s head; this causes it to fall on the Guardian, defeating him. If [[Rayman]] falls or is knocked down from a [[Purple Lum]], he slides back down the slope and must begin the battle again. | After stepping through the passageway, [[Rayman]] finds himself on a blue stone platform, floating in a star-filled abyss reminiscent of [[the Hall of Doors]].

Once the battle is over, an extra [[Purple Lum]] appears from [[Axel]]'s remains, and he will have to swing onto the others once again, to cross the gap in between, onto another floating building with a waterfall flowing down. The waterfall curtains a large hallway. At the end of the hallway is a grassy chamber with a thin but steep hill, which has a strange pillar at the top with rings engraved on it. As [[Rayman]] shyly approaches this, [[Rayman's symbol|the white ring on his chest]] begins to glow, as does the ring on the pillar, and an electric beam connects it to his body. This opens the pillar up, revealing [[Four Masks of Polokus|the first mask of Polokus]]. [[Rayman]] climbs onto it, and when he takes it, he is finally warped away as the pillar closes itself. | Once the battle is over, an extra [[Purple Lum]] appears from [[Axel]]'s remains, and he will have to swing onto the others once again, to cross the gap in between, onto another floating building with a waterfall flowing down.

[[Rayman]] then arrives on a moonlit cliff. At the edge of the cliff is a pillar similar to the one in the sanctuary, but atop it sits [[Polokus]], the god of [[the Glade of Dreams]]. [[Polokus]] explains that he is far away despite being physically present, and can only speak in dreams, but by travelling to the Sanctuaries and acquiring their corresponding masks [[Rayman]] can bring [[Polokus]] back. [[Polokus]] takes [[Four Masks of Polokus|the mask]] from the sanctuary and places it on his pillar, then warps [[Rayman]] back to [[the Hall of Doors]] (the [[Teensie Circle]] in [[the Minisaurus Plains]] in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]''). | [[Rayman]] then arrives on a moonlit cliff.

While the game still refers to this level as the Sanctuary of Water and Ice, the characters now refer to it as [[the Lost Island]], which appears to be the name of the island upon which the sanctuary was built.
