''Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil'' is the second mainline entry in the ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}'' series, released on 2001 exclusively for thePlatform/PlayStation2.

Taking place sometime after the events of ''VideoGame/KlonoaDoorToPhantomile'', Klonoa finds himself in a new dream world called Lunatea after he was summoned there by a mysterious voice. Landing in the sea of tears upon arriving, he is soon rescued by a wannabe priestess named Lolo and a dog-like creature named Popka, who quickly become his allies.

Soon after, Klonoa, Lolo and Popka meet with Baguji, a wise person who tasks Klonoa with a mission, that being to go to four kingdoms, The Kingdom of Tranquility, La-Lakoosha, The Kingdom of Joy, Joliant, The Kingdom of Discord, Volk, and The Kingdom of Indecision, Mira-Mira, to ring their respective bells to gather their elements in order to prevent a fifth bell, which threatens to doom Lunatea if it reappears. Klonoa, being the AllLovingHero he is, agrees and sets off on a quest with his newfound allies to find the elements.

However, they are not the only ones setting off on the quest, as the trio faces off against a duo of sky pirates by the names of Leorina and Tat, who are also motivated to get the elements for their own personal reasons.

''Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil'' is the second mainline entry in the ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}'' series, released on 2001 exclusively for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2.

** A slower variation of Lolo's character theme is played during the ending cutscene for the Maze of Memories stage after she starts weeping over believing she isn't worth being a priestess and getting mocked by the priestesses. In the same game, The High Priestess' character theme titled "High Priestess" (alongside the level theme to La-Lakoosha) is later given a sadder version when Klonoa, Lolo, and Popka revisit the High Priestess when Lunatea is overcome by sorrow titled "The High Priestess of Sadness". A more sinister version of Leorina's theme also plays after Biskarsh is defeated.

* BrutalBonusLevel: So you've found 6 Momett Dolls and unlocked a quaint "Chamber o' Fun," have you? [[TemptingFate This level doesn't seem so tough]] — [[SubvertedTrope and it isn't]]. Though finding the ''remaining'' 8 dolls unlocks the "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Chamber o' Horrors]]", and hoo boy, [[DoubleSubversion it most certainly lives up to that name]], having some of the toughest and most precise platforming in the entire series, many of which often requires pitch perfect timing or you'll fall to your death. Fortunately, you don't lose any lives in the level, but that doesn’t make it any less challenging.

* ArtEvolution: Klonoa gains a noticeable redesign between ''Door to Phantomile'' and this game. Gaining a slightly older, more anime-esque look that makes him resemble a modern ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' character, as opposed to the cutesy look he had back in ''Door to Phantomile''.
