What to Do to Fix the Pipe System in the Desert in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair

The first thing you’re trying to do is unlock the door in the desert by finding the key. To do so, head to the west of the desert and solve the Pagie’s challenge you’ll find there.

Once you’ve done that, head up the new set of stairs to the cage and pay 1000 quills to get the key. Then, unlock the door and head inside the building to speak to the pipe’s sister.

To help her fix the pipe machine, simply drag the outlying piece of pipe back in line with the rest. This will make several sections of pipe outside the building pop out, and you’ll have to put them back.

One pipe will blow off at an angle, so move it to the nearby rotating platform. To spin it around, you’ll need to reach the switch on a high platform on the other side of the pipe.

Move one of the other pipe pieces towards the rock to create a ledge to jump on. All you need to do is jump up onto the rock and then hit the switch. This will then completely fix the pipe system and you’ll be able to carry on with the game.

Time needed: 10 minutes

In short, follow these steps to fix the pipe system in the desert:

  1. Head to the west of the desert area and solve the Pagie’s challenge.

  2. Head up the stairs and pay to open the cage to get the key.

  3. Speak to the person inside to start fixing the pipe, dragging the loose piece in line with the rest.

  4. Head outside and align the rest of the pipe pieces.
