Yooka-Replaylee: Complete Guide to Mollycool and Transformation Locations

Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, Yooka-Replaylee revitalizes the popular transformation mechanic that fans cherished in Banjo-Kazooie. To unlock exciting new forms, players must locate Dr. Puzz on each map. This eccentric character, a half human and half octopus scientist, is the key to mastering your transformations.

However, approaching Dr. Puzz isn’t sufficient on its own. To complete your transformation, you will need to gather and present the Mollycool, a collectible found within the game’s five uniquely designed stages. Collecting these can sometimes be a challenge, but fear not, avid adventurer, as this guide is here to assist you!

Below is a detailed walkthrough of each Dr. Puzz and Mollycool location throughout the game, along with tips for effective navigation to achieve your transformation. While you only unlock a trophy for your initial transformation, embracing these alterations in every level is beneficial, as they pave the way to discovering additional Pagies.

#1 – Tribalstack Tropics

Begin your quest in the vibrant Tribalstack Tropics. Navigate to the central structure and utilize your sonar blast to ascend to the second floor.

Upon reaching the designated spot, activate the series of invisible platforms using sonar to traverse across them.

Eventually, you will encounter a large pirate ship’s steering wheel. Attack it to reveal the hidden Mollycool beneath. After collecting it, return to Dr. Puzz at the indicated location.

Dr. Puzz will transform you into a flower, enabling you to cross the bridge and earn a Pagie by watering the plants in the stone arena. Additionally, neighboring flowers will provide helpful hints for locating even more treasures.

#2 – Glitterglaze Glacier

Next, embrace the festive atmosphere of Glitterglaze Glacier. Head towards the marked area on the map.

Here, you will find a wooden crate. Break it open, and collect the power-up to gain a projectile attack.

Proceed to the next marker, where you will utilize your newfound power to demolish a giant cracked block, revealing the Mollycool inside.

Afterward, bring your prize to Dr. Puzz to transform into a snow plow. This form allows you to clear snow drifts, access sub-world entrances, and complete a thrilling red coin challenge along the icy road.

#3 – Moodymaze Marsh

The Mollycool in Moodymaze Marsh is relatively easy to find. Head to the designated marker and dive into the expansive lake.

At this location, you will spot a circular metal structure filled with QUIDS. Break the crate perched above it with a spin attack to uncover the Mollycool!

Once again, deliver the Mollycool to Dr. Puzz. You will then transform into a school of piranhas—a powerful ability that enables you to break sticks in the pond and access a pipe leading to a sub-world packed with Pagies.

#4 – Capital Cashino

In Capital Cashino, players can unlock the most advantageous transformation of the game. To secure this Mollycool, head to the indicated location and find a slot machine.

To win, stomp on the buttons in front of the machine until you align three Yooka-Laylee icons in a row. Timing is crucial, but the game locks each correct icon in place, alleviating some pressure. Once successful, collect the Mollycool.

Next, visit Dr. Puzz at her location. She will metamorphose you into a helicopter, granting you access to all areas of the level. Utilize this aerial advantage to locate Pagies, Quills, and a plethora of activities that were once out of reach. Be on the lookout for pig knights, maximizing your potential to gather even more Pagies!

#5 – Galleon Galaxy

The final Mollycool in Galleon Galaxy is the most readily apparent. Travel to the tall tower at the center of the map and enter via the base.

Ascend to the top, where you’ll find the Mollycool waiting for you.

Deliver this last item to Dr. Puzz for your final transformation into a formidable pirate ship. With three types of projectiles at your disposal, explore the map extensively to unlock more challenges and gather more Pagies. You’ll also be equipped to confront the level’s boss while remaining in ship form, adding to the excitement of your adventure.
