This article is a stub. You can help the Celeste Wiki by expanding it.

CELESTE Classic 2: Lani's Trek is a video game released by Maddy Thorson, Noel Berry and Lena Raine for Celeste's third anniversary. It is available on the PICO-8 console.

The game contains five chapters: Prologue, Trailhead, Glacial Caves, Golden Valley and Destination. It features a different mountain climber than the original CELESTE Classic or Celeste; this character's name is Lani, possibly a play on the name Lena (after Lena Raine).

Show/hide content

The story takes place presumably later than the events of Celeste, and by extent, Celeste Classic. It begins without much of a plot, with Lani journeying across where the Prologue would be. Granny's house can be seen, but cannot be accessed. The bridge, however, is already significantly damaged, and ends up collapsing under Lani's feet.

After Lani falls to the bottom, she finds a grappling hook. The main soundtrack of the level, "Lani's Trek", begins playing. Lani then proceeds to cross the Trailhead, and to the Glacial Caves, a set of icy underground caves. She later arrives at the Golden Valley, which is somewhat reminiscent of Golden Ridge, albeit situated at a much lower altitude, before making it to her destination, which appears to be a small ravine filled with flowers.
