- Rayman 2 could have a plot hole. At the very least, there's a big explaination missing here... so I have my own theory I want to tell you about!
Thanks for watching, if you enjoyed this, please check out my other Rayman videos! :D
All dead Lums go to the tomb of the ancients
All lums go to heaven
I think someone else said it before me, but I always thought it makes sense: Razorbeard KILLED the Lum, so it's in the tomb of the ancients, which acts as some sort of Graveyard. It's Dead so it's there...being Dead. For who that Skull belongs to... Some Deko I guess by Razorbeards Wife from Rayman Arena? This Series is weird...
Wild idea, while Rayman 2 implies there are only 1000 lums which came from the heart of the world, Origins and Legends show that yellow lums exist outside of the heart of the world. These two facts can co-exist, the heart is made of 1000 lums and shattered, but there are still just yellow lums hanging out wherever and all Rayman has to do is collect 1000 of any yellow lums to fix the heart, and there just so happen to be 1000 across each level he visits because video game.
honestle makes a lot of sense as a retcon. they probably didnt have that in mind yet when they made rayman 2 tho
Rayman Hoodlums' Revenge, Rayman 3 GBA and Raving Rabbids DS/GBA have the 1000 lums
Can’t wait for Rayman 4 : How did Razorbeard sh*t out that lum lol
@@Basile.BowBow 😂
It's called Hoodlums Revenge
“they can’t poo out lums” 😭😭
or are they🧐
Rayman 2: The Great Escape and outright the greatest rayman game of all time.
But as Razorbeard ate the Lum, the platform-driven nature of the game ate Rayman's ability to fly (#Rigged). It is like not having Super Sonic playable in few Sonic titles after completing them or collecting everything.
Being allowed to fly around would've been an epic reward for getting 999/999 Lums and not having that still messes with me till today.
That was weird seeing my own footage from like ... A decade ago. XD
Hahaha! That’s crazy that you came across this video so fast as well! Hope you don’t mind me using the footage, it was perfect to help show my point :)
@corkben It's fine. I just wish someone else would have remade the footage of the 3DS version with an emulator or capture card by now, but it's not a great version to go through.
My Rayman continuity theory is that all three of the first games are set in different universes. Rayman, Rayman 2 and Rayman 3 are the names of the characters, not the titles of their adventures.
The book "l'histoire de Rayman" conforme that every games are connected
You ranting about the quality of the final boss of Rayman 2 felt very cathartic.
There’s actually a hidden scene of razorbeard shitting out the lum in a lake, but it’s only unlocked after beating the baby globox racing game 50 times and any wins after that has a small chance of showing the cutscene.
My guess is that the area with the Skull was the original path to get through Tomb of the Ancients. However, when the Level got changed later on, the Skull Area was never blocked off to prevent Rayman from reaching it.
That's such a cool little easter egg, I'm surprised nothing gets acknowledged for collecting it
In some versions of the game, collecting the 1000th lum specifically causes a "YAHOO!!" to show up on screen.
What weighs more, a kilogram of yellow Lums or a kilogram of robot poo
I remember watching a Rayman 3D video of somebody collecting the lum and during the video they said 'Razorbeard must've used the skull as an outhouse to get rid of the lum after eating it'
I assume the 3ds bounce web pad thing doesn't work because the devs made it not bouncable on purpose because the 1000th lum crashes the game, which is why the lum is unreachable
Yeah the PS2 1000th lum is by far the strangest one as it will only leave the chest if have found the secret area prior to beating clark
Could you talk about the story of origins? I can't help but think an entire story was scrapped moments before release.
It really feels that way.
I think it was scrapped. I was already thinking of doing a deep dive into its development… 👀
@corkben cool. I'll wait for the video then.
Such a fun thing to think about.
I remember that I wanted all Lums to get to the secret of raymans birth... and was disappointed when I got to it😅
I always assumed the implication was that Razorbeard pooped it out, albeit a joke that doesn't really fit the tone of R2
another theory, razorbeard eating the yellow lum was a display of power in front of his minions, and he then removed it coz he didn't find a use for it yet, and he only needed to destroy the heart of the world which made rayman weaker. So Razorbeard disposes of the lum, maybe where no one can see him, coz there are robo zombies so robo pirates generally avoid the tomb of the ancients.
Loving your videos man! Growing up 20 years ago I didn’t think anyone loved Rayman and Beyond good and evil as much as me! I bought a steam deck and the Remastered BGE + Rayman emulations are my main thing to do!
Anyway would you consider doing a video on the desert of the knaren? That place scared the pants off me (still does!)
@@dylandogroc8804 thanks! I’m glad it’s not just me who loves these games. I’ve got a video going through ever world of Rayman 3 coming soon, but yeah I’d be tempted to do one just for that world too!
I've played pretty much all versions of Rayman 2 (except DS) and, yeah, this mystery always kind of bugged me. I always wondered why the developers bothered to have that extra Lum if it didn't count towards to overall total. The secret Lum is really out of the way, so chances are most new players aren't going to find it intentionally.
Regardless, this is my personal favorite of all the Rayman games as it has some of my favorite set pieces in the series. Rayman 3 was decent (and charming), but it lacked a certain something compared to 2. I would love to see a true follow-up to Rayman 2 with the same sort of energy and atmosphere. There were some amazing 3D platformers in the late '90s and Rayman 2 still stands tall among them!
Very interesting, this lum is at the center of many questions
8:19 This is the only other Rayman 2 character to not have limbs as far as I’m aware, almost looks as if it was re used from Tonic Trouble
Erm actually Rayman Revolution is the most canon version you see, because there are no Lums in the Cave Of Bad Dreams there, and it doesn't make sense for there to be Lums there you see.
I clicked on this video cause your channel keeps popping up in my feed. I've only played Rayman origins and Legends but i hope Rayman gets more games 2D or 3D.
Thanks, I hope you enjoyed it!
Looks like more is coming, but it’ll most likely be 3D. You should definitely check out the 3D games!
@corkben enjoyed the video! Interesting theory as usual.
rayman 2 on n64 on my birthday before school. That was sick.
ive been binge watching some of your videos and they have all been great and have reintroduced me to rayman after a decade! prehaps ill give rayman 2 a go again soon though may i ask what background music is used in your videos im not too familiar with the rayman soundtracks as it has been so long all i know is that my ears like what it hearing
For each video I typically just use tracks from their respective game. So for this one I used the Tome Of The Ancients’ level theme. The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava theme. Riding The Shell, and Clark :)
My answer is that the 1000th still exist cause no matter your Lum count at the end Ly conformed that the Heart of the world reformed and it is even conformed in Rayman Hoodlums' Revenge, Rayman 3 GBA and Rayman Raving Rabbids GBA/DS does have 1000 lums, also EVERY version are canon
I like this theory of yours. Btw, are you an og Rayman player from N64 or PS1, or did you start playing it a little later?
First played on PC, but yeah a long long time ago. I think i first played Rayman 2 in 2003/2004, so not quite at release
Interesting theory, but I don't really think it's that complex. The lum died, so you can find it in the graveyard themed level. I think that's about as deep as it goes.
I also don't think Razorbeard ate it to gain power. He just did it to be sadistic.
JUSTICE FOR THE PS1! Thank you sir

Entertaining video editing, good luck with your channel
Thank you
I remember getting the last lum in the 3DS version but.. I never had my game crash? Odd..
Really? Lucky!! I know you can exit out the level after getting it BEFORE going down the slide afterwards. It seems that level warp is the part that’s broken
I recall another version of the game has the lum in the toilet in the pirate base
i meant i've already downloaded on pc
Another plot hole is how the story doesn't connect to the first or third games.
Yeahhh that’s a messy one
It does, Just vaguely. There are easter eggs refering to Rayman 1 & 2 in 3. It would be cool to see what happened inbetween the games though to make a more defined timeline.
@ yeah. The Easter eggs are a nice touch, but man there are so many inconsistencies
It's like every Rayman Game is just it's own Timeline. Constantly building a new world. It's not just the story that doesn't connect. Really NOTHING does. Notice how in Rayman 1 EVERYTHING is limbless. Every Boss, pretty much every Enemy, some of Raymans Allies. But in 2 Rayman is the only limbless one left. 2 and 3 are more simular on that part, but they are also waaaay different with the characters. Really think they are not supposed to be connected. The Only Games I can remember with continuos Storys are Rayman 3 and it's "Sequel" Hoodlus Revenge on the GBA. That's the only Time the Story actually continued in another Game
I am from 2026 and Rehman is going to release
this is why i think revolution is the better version
Ypu should do a video on raymans age, though out the games that would be interesting
Oooooh good idea!
@corkben I recall seeing something about Ray being 16 in the 3rd game and 1016 in legends
ps1 rayman2 enjoyers where
You probably don't believe me but I'll prove it and I already did see you in 2025
I for one do believe you. I’m the one who predicted/theorised about his return originally anyway. Plus Ubisoft themselves confirmed it.
Anyway he has a release in 2025
orginirs?
