Yooka-Replaylee: Ghost Writer Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

Ghost Writers are one of the most distinctive collectible challenges in Yooka-Replaylee — 25 spectral characters spread across all five Grand Tome worlds, each demanding a different approach to capture.

Finding all five in any single world earns a Pagie and contributes to the Ghosts Righted trophy.

Every Ghost Writer's exact position and capture method is in the checklist below, with links to the Yooka-Replaylee interactive maps for each one.

What Ghost Writers Are in Yooka-Replaylee

Each of the five Grand Tome worlds contains exactly five Ghost Writers — one of each type.

They don't all behave the same way: some are passive and simply need to be found and approached, others are hostile and will attack if you make a mistake, and some are hidden behind environmental puzzles or locked behind Mollycool transformations.

Knowing each type's behaviour and capture method before entering a world is the most efficient way to collect all five in a single run.

Five Ghost Writer Types and How to Capture Each

Heidi is a yellow Ghost Writer found in enclosures, on platforms, and in underwater locations. She isn't aggressive but will flee. Pacify her by hitting her with the Sonar Shot move to make her dizzy, then get close to collect her. If Heidi isn't visible on approach, the Sonar 'Splosion will reveal her.

Heidi appears in Tribalstack Tropics (enclosure), Glitterglaze Glacier (bottom of the lake), Capital Cashino (upper walkway via northern grappling points), Moodymaze Marsh (between four large trees), and Galleon Galaxy (on top of a robot).

Ann-Gree is a red Ghost Writer and the most aggressive type — he attacks on sight and cannot be captured while in his attack state. Dodge his attacks and wait for him to turn yellow before striking.

He appears in the clearing in Tribalstack Tropics, the back of a cave in Glitterglaze Glacier, on a wooden platform in a tree in Moodymaze Marsh, inside a large room behind breakable glass in Capital Cashino, and inside a flying saucer above the golf course in Galleon Galaxy — reachable via the Flight Bomb on the course.

Normy is a green Ghost Writer who doesn't fight back. He simply needs to be reached. That said, several Normy locations require specific access: Glitterglaze Glacier's Normy is in a hidden alcove past a flaming wall — fire immunity from the nearby brazier under a breakable crate is required.

Capital Cashino's Normy is on the roof of the house of cards and requires the Mollycool helicopter transformation to reach. Galleon Galaxy's Normy sits on a floating rock accessible via grappling points on smaller surrounding rocks.

Evie is a blue Ghost Writer that is passive but often located in areas requiring environmental unlocks. Tribalstack Tropics' Evie is trapped under a large stone block — destroy it with the nearby bomb.

Glitterglaze Glacier's Evie is in a cave accessed via a southeastern tunnel entrance. Moodymaze Marsh's Evie requires the Mollycool shoal transformation from Dr. Puzz, then entry via a pipe at the bottom of the lake to reach the Swampy Station basin.

Capital Cashino's Evie is on top of moving suspended roulettes, reached by ascending to the upper casino level. Galleon Galaxy's Evie is inside an ice boulder — bring the Mollycool to Dr. Puzz to become a ship, then use the cannons to melt the boulder.

Fee-Dee is a pink Ghost Writer that must be fed a bomb to be pacified — finding the nearby bomb source is the key step. Tribalstack Tropics' Fee-Dee is on a ledge accessed via a pressure plate grapple point.

Glitterglaze Glacier's Fee-Dee is frozen inside an ice block — melt it with the flamethrower behind the tower, then feed the bomb. Moodymaze Marsh's Fee-Dee is on a suspended platform reached by gliding through airstreams, with the bomb found on top of the nearby tower.

Capital Cashino's Fee-Dee is inside a breakable crate — the bomb is on the upper platform. Galleon Galaxy's Fee-Dee is under a large ice boulder — melt it using the ship transformation, then use the Cannon Shot to pacify.

Moves and Transformations Required for Ghost Writers

The Sonar Shot is required for every Heidi in the game — without it, she cannot be pacified.

Several Ghost Writers across Moodymaze Marsh, Capital Cashino, and Galleon Galaxy require specific Mollycool transformations (shoal, helicopter, and ship, respectively) unlocked by bringing the world's Mollycool to Dr. Puzz.

Attempting those Ghost Writers before obtaining the relevant Mollycool will make them inaccessible — the checklist entry for each cross-links both the Mollycool and Dr. Puzz positions.
