Why did that annoying cat have to steal the element, huh?

How To Catch Purple Tat In Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil

Catching purple Tat and getting the element from her in Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil is simple in concept, but tricky real life.

To start off with, players go through a cool boarding level checking out the sights of the river. This level is basically here to show the advancements from the first Klonoa game, with some cool Crash Bandicoot-esque chase scenes from big fish that look as though they’ve been eating steroids all their lives.

Making your way through this part is simple; dodge spikes, and pull back from time to time to slow down whenever there’s a drop.

Tip – there’s usually an item to collect near a drop or a ramp, so take your time before heading over them and do a flutter jump for good measure.

Once in the second half of the level, you’ll have to chase after purple Tat on your board. Tat is super fast, however, and always just hovers an inch too far away from Klonoa.

Funny how these things work, right?

The main thing to watch out for are the obstacles that pop up along the way. Branches and spikes will try to slow you down and take your health, ultimately resulting in a return to the start if you die.

Catching Purple Tat

My main tip for how to catch purple Tat in Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is to keep hitting your air bullet button while travelling forward. Push forward on your joystick to get that extra speed and button-mash your fire button.

If anything, this process gives you a little more speed and will eventually help you catch up to Tat.

Look ahead for obstacles, just like you would when driving a car in real life. Timing is everything here, and you need to be planning two or three moves ahead if you’re going to catch up to her.

Don’t worry if you don’t do it first, third, or even fifth time; there’s a cannon that sends you back up to the start every time so you can try again.

By mashing that air-bullet button, you’ll eventually grab hold of Tat and shake the devil out of her trying to find that element.

But does she have it?

I guess you’ll have to wait and find out!

And that’s a wrap!

Thanks for checking out this article on how to catch purple Tat in Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series. Like I said earlier, it’s not a difficult task on paper, but boy do they make it hard for you to actually catch her.
