{{quote|text=One peaceful day, everything was going fine in [[the valley]]... until a great [[Dark Storm|dark storm]] arrived! No one knew where [[Dark Storm|the sinister storm]] had come from. Everyone trembled in fear, waiting for [[Dark Storm|the storm]] to pass. Suddenly a giant red lightning bolt struck the [[Great Protoon]]! Something was happening... The dark powers of [[Dark Storm|the storm]]... caused the [[Great Protoon]] to create [[Dark Magician|something terrible]]...|sign=[[The Magician]]|source=''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''}}

'''Heart of the Storm''' is the final boss of ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''. It is the core of the mysterious [[Dark Storm]], the true main antagonist of the game, which invaded the atmosphere of [[the valley]] with its dark magic and gave life to the [[Dark Magician]].

==In ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''==
[[Dark Storm|The storm]] first appears in the game's introduction, suddenly obscuring the skies of [[the valley]] and stricking the [[Great Protoon]] with one of its lightning bolts, which subsequently birthed the [[Dark Magician]], who claimed he would take over [[the valley]] for the great darkness, possibly referring to the [[Dark Storm]].

{{quote|text=The [[Dark Magician]] has been beaten, but... I'm afraid there is still something [[Rayman|you]] have to do. The [[Dark Storm|dark storm]] that started all this has grown bigger. It will only keep causing more and more horrors! You have to find the Heart of the Storm and destroy it. But my magic alone can't open the path for you... You must free all of the [[Electoon]]s.|sign=[[The Magician]]|source=''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''}}

It isn't mentionned again until the end of the game, once [[Rayman]] defeats the [[Dark Magician]] and reaches the roof of the [[Dark Stronghold]]. [[The Magician]] informs [[Rayman]] that [[Dark Storm|the storm]] is still active and has grown bigger, and he must thus locate and destroy its Heart.
Entering the [[Eye of the Storm]] thanks to the [[Electoon]]s, [[Rayman]] finds and battles the Heart of the Storm in its final part, a [[Big Power]] being placed above it. It is one of the few bosses in the game with an accurate health bar, having twenty life points in total.

The Heart attacks [[Rayman]] with the same dark magic projectiles as [[Dark Magician]], first spitting them in a slow continuous stream and then shooting dozens of them very quickly in a torrent, which [[Rayman]] can avoid by circling around the Heart using the [[cloud]]s. It is invincible during these attack phases, and its subsequent vulnerability is indicated by pulsing dark waves around the Heart.
Once vulnerable, the Heart of the Storm switches continuously between propelling four dark magic orbs horizontally and vertically, and shooting them in diagonal directions. [[Rayman]] can hit the core ten times, which becomes increasingly faster the more damage it takes.

Once it loses half of its health, the Heart becomes invincible and repeats its first cycle of attacks, for a much greater duration and by shooting the final streams of dark projectiles in lines.
It subsequently becomes vulnerable once again and repeats its attack sets of four dark orbs, shooting even faster as [[Rayman]] damages the Heart.

After ten more successful hits, the Heart of the Storm pulsates violently before exploding, which immediately starts the game's end cutscene. As [[Rayman]] falls down, the sky starts to clear and the dark [[cloud]]s disappear one by one, the atmosphere becoming clean of the [[Dark Storm|Storm]]'s dark magic, and [[the valley]] becoming peaceful once again.

==Trivia==
* The Heart's sprite is a purple recolor of the water drops thrown by the {{rw|bubble throwing clown}}s in {{rw|Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman''}}.
* As [[Dark Storm]] is both an antagonist and a location, a parallel can be drawn to {{rw|My Heartburn's for You}}, as [[Rayman]] battles the storm from its heart in ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'' while the heroes travel into {{rw|El Stomacho}}'s stomach and must overcome his heartburn from within in ''{{rw|Rayman Origins}}'' and ''{{rw|Rayman Legends}}'' through {{rw|Back to Origins}}.
* [[Mr Dark]]'s final battles and transformations in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' are reminiscent of the [[Dark Storm]], as both are beings embodying "great darkness" and are ultimately fought in the skies of [[the valley]], and both have corrupted the [[Great Protoon]]. Before bursting into a void engulfing [[the End of the World]] after his defeat, [[Mr Dark#As_Darker_Mr_Dark|Darker Mr Dark]] claims that he will always come back as long as there is darkness in the world, which could be interpreted as the inexplicable [[Dark Storm]]'s appearance being a form of reincarnation of [[Mr Dark]], although the parallel between the two antagonists is likely unintended.
