'''Kleever's Kiln''' is the boss level of [[Crocodile Cauldron]] and the place where [[Kleever]] is fought in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

Concept drawings show that [[Squawks]] would originally fight Kleever, and his Animal Barrel would have been hidden in an area behind the starting point. This was changed to Squawks fighting another boss instead, King Zing, in the boss level [[King Zing Sting]].

Kleever's Kiln takes place in a volcanic area with a ledge on each side and a wide [[lava]] pit in the middle. Two [[Banana Coin]]s are hidden at the top right of the area, and they can be reached by either jumping from [[hook]]s at the top right or from Dixie using her [[Helicopter Spin]] from the same position. The battle starts with Kleever rising from the lava, held by an arm made of fire. Kleever throws three individual [[Fireball (obstacle)|fireballs]] at [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. After this, the [[Kong]]s have to throw a [[Cannonball|kannonball]] at it. When Kleever is hit, a set of hooks fall from the sky, and as the Kongs cross to the rightmost part of the arena, Kleever follows them there while throwing more fireballs in their direction. After a third hit, Kleever retreats back into the lava before suddenly charging back out, now hovering in midair independently, without the fiery arm. Kleever moves around faster and starts by horizontally charging himself at Diddy and Dixie. Kleever can be dodged by jumping over him. Many rows of hooks drop above the pool of lava, allowing Diddy and Dixie to cross over to the right side. Kleever uses his charging attack again, and after having another kannonball thrown at it, Kleever begins to violently slash for a few seconds. After six hits, Kleever is defeated, his blade shattered into pieces as he spins around for a few seconds before falling into the lava. Diddy and Dixie are rewarded with a [[Kremkoin]] and can continue on to [[Krem Quay]].
