Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the second game in the series by Playtonic Games. You play the rold of two little creatures, Yooka and Laylee, who must explore the world in search of bees. Once you have enough of them you’ll be able to storm the Impossible Lair and defeat Capital B.
There are 20 Chapters that you’ll find out in the overworld. Each of them has an alternate version making 40 chapters in total. You’ll find a trapped bee at the end of each chapter and a few scattered around the overworld.
Yooka can roll, jump and spin. If you have Laylee with you you’ll be able to perform a Buddy Slam. Doing a Buddy Slam and immediately pressing roll and jump will give you a Jump Boost. You can use this to reach areas you can’t ordinarily reach.
Yooka-Laylee Walkthrough – Introduction
Once the game begins you’ll be in the tutorial level where you’ll learn the basic movements. Follow the level to the right until you run into Queen Pheobe again. She’ll give you her Beetalion, a swarm of bees that will surround and protect you.
Make your way through the hazards until you come to the boss fight against Capital B. The game intends for you to die pretty quickly here although it is possible to beat the game if you are really good.
After the fight you’ll be taken out to the overworld where you can explore and search for secrets. Queen Pheobe will be here and will remove the Chapters from the Tome so you can complete them and gather up the bees.

Walk down to the south and buddy slam on the last tile to the south. This will reveal Tonic 1/62 (Quill Banker). Walk to the south and try out the first chapter:

Push the crate to the south into the recess and the gate will lower. Head through and drop down the steps for Chapter 2.
Just to the right you’ll find a Switch. Flip it to turn the sluice gate. You’ll use it later to alter the flow of water. For now jump onto it so you can get up to the ledge and enter the cave. Use the Bombs on the Bomb Plant to break the weak blocks so you can get to the Treasure Chests. When you’re done exit the cave.
Head to the right and talk to the Paywall. This one requires 1 Coin to lower. Other paywalls will be more expensive. Go through to the next area.

To get to the alternate version of this chapter you’ll need to turn on the electricity. Move the horizontal wire block into place so the door opens to the next room.
Grab the spare wire block in the next room and move it to the northwest platform. Use it to jump up so you can push off the 4-way wire block.
Push the first wire block onto the yellow platform to the south and the 4-way wire block onto the bottom wire. You should now be able to jump up to the southwest platform.
Push off the third wire block and move it onto the yellow platform to the north. Take the 4-way wire block and move it to the wire on the west side. Take the other 2-way wire block and move it to the wire on the east side. This should lift up the yellow platform. Place the wire block next to the wall to connect the wire on the wall and the 4-way wire block on the east side.
Power now should be running to the room to the east. Run back and try the next chapter.
Chapter 18: Pumping Plant – Powered
Leave the Pumping Plant and make your way back to the west. You’ll face another Pagie Challenge. Swing across the ropes to kill the little creature to complete the challenge. The Pagie will remove the toxic cloud from the area. Continue to the west and jump on the chapter on the cart.
From the chapter jump to the ledge to the west. Slam down on the ground just at the foot of the vine and a Bomb Shrub will grow. Grab a Bomb and use it to blow up the stone block in the west wall.
Go through to the cave and move the Crate onto the pressure plate. Only the north side of the Crate has a handle. Climb up the steps to Tonic #59 (Roll Even Faster).
Head outside and use the flowers to bounce up to the ledge on the north side. Go inside the building and make your way up to the very top.
You need to bring a Crate from the top floor all the way to the bottom. At the top floor use the pressure plates to bring a Crate down and place it on the trapdoor. Stand on the pressure plate next to it to drop the Crate to the floor below.
On the next floor bring the Crate up to the left side of the ledge with the lever, grab a rock, jump onto the crate and throw it at the lever. Drop the Crate down to the floor below.
On the next floor you’ll need to hit 3 Levers to open the center cage. Use the Rocks and move the Crate around to reach all 3 Levers. Once that’s done drop the crate down to the floor below.
Go down to the next floor and use the pressure plate to drop the Crate to the outside area. Go outside and use the final pressure plate to drop the crate down to the floor. Push the Crate onto the tracks so it stops the cart with the chapter.
Chapter 20: Scareship Scroll – Docked
Jump from the Crate to the ledge to the southwest for Tonic #59 (Negative Film). Head back to the east, past the entrance, and use the flower near to the Crate NPC to get up to the platform above. Slam on the top of the roof with a faint circle on it. This reveals Tonic #60 (Spotlight).
Go back to the entrance to the Secret Area and speak to Trowzer. Give him the 99 Coins for the real Fourth Slot for your tonics.
Make your way back to the Hive and use the Hive Tents on the east side to get up to the ledge. Walk to the north for Tonic #61 (TickTockTickTock!).
The final tonic can only be found by completing The Impossible Lair straight after the tutorial at the start of the game. If you can do it without any bee helpers you’ll get Tonic #62 (The Golden Try).
Once you’re done exploring the overworld return to the hive to take on Capital B.
