Pagie Puzzle Pieces are the sneakiest collectibles in Yooka‑Replaylee. Each Grand Tome hides eight of them; every four pieces fuse into a Pagie, so there are 40 pieces total for 10 extra Pagies. They’re often tucked behind simple but easy‑to‑miss triggers: a buried glow spot, a chest perched just out of view, an arena clear, or a small interaction that only makes sense once you stumble into it.

Here’s how the system breaks down and where to find every single piece, world by world, with a deeper walkthrough for Galleon Galaxy’s set.

Pagie Puzzle Pieces: rules and common triggers

  • Count and conversion: 8 pieces per Grand Tome; 4 pieces combine into 1 Pagie (10 extra Pagies from all 40 pieces).
  • Where they come from: pieces can pop from opened chests, Buddy Slams on golden glowing ground, wave clears after defeating all nearby enemies, or small interactions like switches and environmental props.
  • Progress pacing: you only need 120 Pagies to finish the story, so these pieces are optional for completion but essential if you’re chasing 100% or trophy milestones tied to piece collection.

Galleon Galaxy Pagie Pieces: Quick guide

  • GaGa1 — spawn island balloon: Use the small platforming path just south to reach a cloud box, gain flight, and attack the balloon so the chest drops.
  • GaGa2 — tower interior: Enter the center tube, grab the cloud power on the left, then fly right and up to the piece floating above the entrance.
  • GaGa3 — water tower roof: Slurp the projectile power at ground level, break the blocked doorway, swim up through the flooded interior, and exit to the roof for the piece.
  • GaGa4 — spiked duo cleanup: At the landing before the long ramp, Buddy Slam the two spike enemies off the platform and clear any nearby crates to force the spawn.
  • GaGa5 — robot battery switch: Climb the robot, lick the battery to electrify, then quickly drop to the right foot and stand on the blue lightning switch.
  • GaGa6 — red‑carpet sweep: After helping Schell, roll up the angled ramp, defeat all visible enemies, and break the boxes to flush out the explosive ducks; the piece appears after a full clear.
  • GaGa7 — ship form demolition: Transform via Dr. Puzz and the Mollycool, sail to the marked pier, and cannon the fragile rock under the wooden frame.
  • GaGa8 — pirate ship interior: Fly from the cloud box south of the ship, land on the main deck, and enter to claim the final piece.

Progress notes and trophy context

  • Collecting four pieces in a single world triggers a Pagie and satisfies the “collect 4 Pagie Puzzle Pieces” milestone.
  • If you’re working toward overall completion, remember there are 300 main Pagies plus 10 more from puzzle pieces, alongside extensive quills, tonics, and cosmetics spread across the five Grand Tomes.

If you’re missing just one piece in a world, revisit the entries tied to enemy clears, Buddy Slam glow spots, and tucked‑away chests; those are the most commonly overlooked spawns. Finish out any you’re missing to convert stray pieces into Pagies and bank the extra pages you need for your endgame push.
