	After [[Rayman]] overcomes his [[The Maze of Memories\|Maze of Memories]], the Dark Magician is ultimately challenged in [[Final Showdown (Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror)\|Final Showdown]], wielding his two wands, and is ~~defeated after taking~~ five hits while unshielded.		After [[Rayman]] overcomes his [[The Maze of Memories\|Maze of Memories]], the Dark Magician is ultimately challenged at the top of the [[Dark Stronghold]]'s tower in [[Final Showdown (Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror)\|Final Showdown]], wielding his two wands.
	Once ~~vanquished~~, he explodes and disappears without a word, with only [[Collectible\|his red hat]] surviving and falling slowly to the ground, being able to be picked up by [[Rayman]] as a [[collectible]]. [[Collectible\|His personal wand]] can also be found in [[Eye of the Storm]] as the game's final [[collectible]], making him the only character in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' to have [[collectible]]s tied to them.		During his final boss battle, the Dark Magician is protected by a dark shield, and flies around while repetitively shooting four dark projectiles in a line at [[Rayman]]. [[Rayman]] starts directly with a [[Big Power]], and two [[Simple Powers]] can be picked up, both being located at the platform's edges.

			[[Rayman]] must destroy the shield by punching it very quickly in the air using his [[Telescopic fist\|fist]], as the magic barrier slowly regenerates, although it can't be reformed once broken until the Dark Magician himself is damaged. While his health bar displays twenty health points like the other bosses, the Dark Magician can only withstand five hits while unshielded as a punch from [[Rayman]] damages four points from the bar.
			After taking a hit, the Dark Magician stays above out of [[Rayman]]'s range and starts a new cycle of attacks by summoning moving columns of dark [[spiky ball]]s fifteen times which swipe over the arena, which [[Rayman]] must either crawl under or jump over depending on the obstacles' position.

			In the second phase, the Dark Magician reforms his shield and launches eggs birthing [[Magic Minion]]s, until getting damaged again. During his following cycle of dark [[spiky ball]]s, the Dark Magician generates them in horizontal rows instead, with either four [[spiky ball]]s with a hole between them or just one aimed at [[Rayman]]'s position.
			The shield reforms again during the third phase, and Dark Magician now launches five explosive [[Fire\|fireballs]]. Once hit a third time, he replaces the dark [[spiky ball]]s attacks with five continous series of many dark magic projectiles, forcing [[Rayman]] to move towards one side of the area or the other, preferably doing so neither too slow or too fast to not get overwhelmed or stuck in a corner where he won't be able to dodge.

			During the fourth shielded phase, the Dark Magician teleports above [[Rayman]] instead of flying around to shoot down three columns of dark magic projectiles in a square. Once the evil sorcerer is damaged, [[Rayman]] must avoid the Dark Magician's ultimate cycle of attacks, similar to his previous offensive phase, excepts he shoots down dozens of dark projectiles in a very fast stream, doing so six times, making it imperative to run and use the brief moments of respite to avoid getting trapped at an edge of the arena.
			In the final shielded phase, the Dark Magician repeats his previous method of shooting dark magic in squares, but this time two dark [[spiky ball]]s continuously appear from one side of the arena and then the other, which [[Rayman]] must dodge by either jumping or crawling while being wary of the Dark Magician's attacks at the same time.

			Once defeated by being hit a fifth time, he explodes and disappears without a word, with only [[Collectible\|his red hat]] surviving and falling slowly to the ground, being able to be picked up by [[Rayman]] as a [[collectible]]. Should the player challenge the Dark Magician boss again, fleeing his battle with the Enter key will once again send them to the title screen instead of skipping the showdown, due to an oversight.

			[[Collectible\|His personal wand]] can also be found later in [[Eye of the Storm]] as the game's final [[collectible]], making him the only character in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' to have [[collectible]]s tied to them.

	He appears many times throughout the game, taunting [[Rayman]] confidently about the many trials of his design the hero will face. ~~Once~~ [[Rayman]] ~~reaches~~ the [[Fiery Fort]]~~, the Dark Magician takes matters into his own hands for the first time, facing [[Rayman]] in a chase~~ and ~~stealing [[the Magician]]'s wand to double his power.

He appears many times throughout the game, similarly to [[Betilla]], taunting [[Rayman]] confidently about the many trials of his design the hero will face.
			While he only shows up in most worlds to provoke [[Rayman]], he is faced as a boss twice, firstly in the [[Fiery Fort]] and lastly in the [[Dark Stronghold]], also appearing as an threat in the latter regularly attacking [[Rayman]] with his magic.

	~~As a boss, he~~'s first ~~fought~~ in a chase ~~taking~~ place ~~during~~ [[Freeing the Magician]] ~~inside~~ [[~~Fiery Fort~~]]. Despite having a health bar, it isn't possible to damage him and [[Rayman]] must ~~actually survive~~ his attacks for a long enough time.		===[[Fiery Fort]]===
	He's ultimately challenged in [[Final Showdown (Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror)\|Final Showdown]], wielding his two wands, and is defeated after taking five hits while unshielded. Once vanquished, he explodes and disappears without a word, with only his red hat surviving and falling slowly to the ground, being able to be picked up by [[Rayman]] as a [[collectible]]. His wand can also be found in [[Eye of the Storm]] as the game's final [[collectible]].		{{quote\|text=[[Rayman\|You]] are already here?! You just don't give up! I will destroy you!\|sign=Dark Magician\|source=''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''}}
			Once [[Rayman]] reaches the [[Fiery Fort]], the Dark Magician takes matters into his own hands for the first time in [[Freeing the Magician]], facing [[Rayman]] in a chase before stealing [[the Magician]]'s wand to double his power.

			His first boss fight takes place in the penultimate part of [[Freeing the Magician]], uniquely taking the form of a chase where [[Rayman]] must follow him without losing a [[life]], with only a [[Simple Power]] found along the way. Despite having the usual health bar of twenty points, it isn't possible to damage him and [[Rayman]] must insteade evade his attacks for a long enough time.

			The Dark Magician attacks with series of spells, throwing three dark projectiles at a time spreading slowly in different directions, such as a corner or a downward horizontal line. At the end of each cycle of dark magic orbs, he either spawns five tall [[Fire\|flames]] on the path, casts a rain of explosive [[Fire\|fireballs]] or creates [[Magic Minion]]s by launching four eggs. [[Rayman]] must survive four complete cycles before they both reach the end of the area, with the [[exit sign]].

			As he can't be vanquished during this part, he's the first and one of the few bosses who doesn't leave [[coin]]s upon [[Rayman]]'s victory, although five [[Ting]]s are found instead at the end of the area just before the [[exit sign]].
			Due to an oversight, fleeing his battle with the Enter key when later returning to his chase results in the player being sent to the title screen instead of skipping the pursuit, which may result in considerable loss of progression if the player didn't save recently.

			The Dark Magician then appears in the final part to warn [[Rayman]] about [[Final Showdown (Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror)\|their future final battle]] in [[Dark Stronghold\|his fortress]], now wielding [[the Magician]]'s wand along his own.

			===[[Dark Stronghold]]===
			He becomes a threat again in the [[Dark Stronghold]] appearing regularly in various areas to attack [[Rayman]] by surprise similarly to [[Reaper\|the Reaper]], shooting magic projectiles at him before instantly vanishing away.

			He's ultimately challenged in [[Final Showdown (Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror)\|Final Showdown]], wielding his two wands, and is defeated after taking five hits while unshielded.
			Once vanquished, he explodes and disappears without a word, with only [[Collectible\|his red hat]] surviving and falling slowly to the ground, being able to be picked up by [[Rayman]] as a [[collectible]]. [[Collectible\|His personal wand]] can also be found in [[Eye of the Storm]] as the game's final [[collectible]].
