A Pagie is the main collectible in Yooka-Laylee that can be spent on the Grand Tomes to both unlock worlds and expand upon them. There are 145 Pagies in the game. There are 25 in each main world and 20 in Hivory Towers.The duo needs 100 Pagies to engage the battle with Capital B.

There is also a version of them that are found in ripped pieces and a version trapped in cages.

While not being the main collectible in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, they offer a brief challenge level after baddies were trapped in their realm. After completion, they call in the flyer squad to alter the Royal Stingdom

Name Origin[]

The term "page" is used to describe a sheet of paper in a collection of sheets bound together like in a book. Like most of Playtonic Games' names, the developers replace the "e" at the end of "page" with an "ie" to form the name "Pagie".

The Flyer Squad of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is named after a flyer, a small paper advertising, and the act of flying.

Appearance[]

Pagies are glowing golden pieces of parchment that fled from the One Book when it was captured by Capital B. They have butterflies as a trim and are torn in various places.

Pagie in a Cagie[]

"Look Laylee... A Pagie in a Cagie. Amazie!"
― – Yooka, as he found a Pagie in a Cagie in Hivory Towers.

A Pagie in a Cagie is a Pagie that has been locked inside of a steel cage by Capital B's minions. These Cagies are unlocked by a nearby task or objective, and upon being unlocked, the top part of the cage will open, and Yooka and Laylee can jump inside to grab the Pagie.

Appearance[]

The top of the Cagie is made out of wood and is held together with bent steel strips and rivets (highly resembling the Treasure Chests that hold Quills), while the lower half consists of long narrow steel bars as well as a steel platform at the bottom.

Trivia[]

The text on the Pagies is Lorem ipsum, a filler text commonly used in graphic design.
Pagies were inspired by the Jiggies from the Banjo-Kazooie series.
In fact, the way the Pagies are alive may be a reference to Mr. Jiggy. The first jiggy found in Grunty's Lair.
The Pagie was featured on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 as the Character of the Day.
There is one pagie, who calls himself "Crazy Kirkhope". This is referencing Yooka-Laylee's music composer and this specific pagie's voice actor, Grant Kirkhope.
There are, as found by hacking the PC version, 30 slots for Pagie collections for each level; this is because there was originally going to be 30 Pagies on each world, as is mentioned in a review of an early build of Tribalstack Tropics on the PlayStation 4.
In the Toybox build of Yooka-Laylee, there can be found a set of textures for a 2D sprite for the Pagie collectible. This may imply that at one time Pagies were intended to have the same 2D art style as of the other collectibles, or perhaps this was simply a placeholder.
In Galleon Galaxy, there's a Pagie whose cage couldn't open. So the Pagie had to slide out from between the bars, and goes on to explain that throughout the whole game, any Pagie in a Cagie can simply exit themselves without help from the duo.
- One Pagie in a Cagie in Tribalstack Tropics tries to do this but fails; he was likely lying.
In Banjo-Tooie; Sequel to Yooka-Laylee's spiritual predecessor, Banjo-Kazooie, one Jiggy requires the player to grind up a large boulder with a Jiggy inside. Once ground, the player must pick up the various bits of the Jiggy, that game's equivalent to a Pagie.
