| << Previous level | — | Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric Lyric's Lair |
Lyric's Lair is the ninth and final area of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. It is the central headquarters of Lyric the Last Ancient; a nightmarish and highly technological fortress filled with death traps and robot armies, located in a lifeless waste. Being built for Lyric himself, this place is a terrifying example of Lyric's twisted plans for the world: a place devoted of organic life and ruled by nothing but soulless machinery.
When Lyric stole the Chaos Crystals from Team Sonic, the team pursued Lyric to his lair, intending to face him in a final showdown for the fate of the world to stop him from activating his Sentinel army and wiping the planet clean of all organic life.
Overview
Easily the darkest setting in the game, Lyric's Lair lies in a barren, dead and rocky black wasteland with cliffs, small mountaintops and plateaus and cracked gorges. Amidst the area is seemingly a lake with murky waters. The sky above is completely overcast by dense grey clouds, with lighting flashing them up occasionally, and the horizon and gorges are covered in rust-colored fog.
Around the landscape are several structures that is Lyric's Lair which is made of black metal with glowing red outlines and circuits. The lair looks like a cross between a technological fortress and industrial plant, with enormous buildings resembling storage facilities, arching spires and towers, some of which have crescent-shaped spires. Embedded in the landscape are sections of metallic stations resembling platforms, silo-shaped towers and pipes which wind through the land like a network. The deeper into the level the player goes, the larger and more closely packed the lair become until it is nothing but a mechanized labyrinth. The insides of the lair is heavily industrialized and is operated by Treasure Minions.
In addition to its technological layout, the lair has computer terminals and screens (either red or blue) everywhere, automatic doors and roads that instantly teleports into view. On the floors and several surfaces the Ancients' runes and markings are also engraved.

Some doors also depicts Lyric's symbol which resembles a slithering snake. At the end of the level lies Lyric's Sentinel army and four receptors for the Chaos Crystals.
Story
Having crashed at Lyric's lair in the Tornado, Team Sonic fought their way through the metallic fortress with the unexpected help from Q-N-C, determined to prevent world destruction.
Team Sonic soon found Lyric as he was activating his Sentinel army with the Chaos Crystals attached to a generator, swearing to finish what he started a thousand years ago. Lyric then noticed Sonic and his gang, and though annoyed at their presence, he told Sonic that he finally knew his weakness: his friends. Sonic claim otherwise, saying they are his strength, and they begin their final battle.
When he was brought on the brink of defeat, Lyric noticed Team Sonic's Enerbeams and used his armor's device to have the Enerbeams ensnare them. As Lyric was about to finish them off, Eggman appeared and shot him from behind with his his mech, making the Enerbeams deactivate. By working together, Team Sonic tied up Lyric as he tried to escape, leaving him helpless. Just then, a portal opened nearby and out came Shadow, who was ready to fight them again, but when he saw they had stopped Lyric, he left while giving his approval. Sonic then look off the technopathy device on Lyric's suit and had Knuckles throw it away, shutting down the Sentinels. With this victory, it was time to go back to the village and celebrate.
A while later, Lyric's device was found by Eggman who installed into his wrist controlled and laughed maniacally as he pushed it, reactivating Metal Sonic in the process.
