The Sonar Splosion is a powerful offensive ability featured in the game Yooka-Laylee, which can be acquired by Laylee through instruction from the character Trowzer in the Moodymaze Marsh world, in exchange for 60 Quills. It acts as an enhanced version of Laylee’s standard Sonar Shot ability, requiring a greater expenditure of energy from the Power Meter. In order to use the Sonar Splosion, players must hold the LT button on an Xbox Controller to assume a crouching position while simultaneously holding the Y button. After a brief period, the ability will be triggered. While the Sonar Shot renders enemies disoriented for a limited duration, the Sonar Splosion possesses the capability to vanquish surrounding adversaries or inflict more substantial damage. Also, the Sonar Splosion technique proves effective in demolishing obstacles, including glass walls or ice cubes, causing them to shatter and thereby revealing new places. In the context of Moodymaze Marsh, this skill is employed multiple times, including an instance where Yooka and Laylee must swiftly eradicate all red mushrooms within a time constraint to obtain a Pagie. Moreover, in order to secure the Mollycool in Moodymaze Marsh, the Sonar Splosion must be utilized in conjunction with the Buddy Bubble to dismantle the cage’s Mushroom structure, allowing for collection of the rare collectible. Nonetheless, players must exercise caution when utilizing the Sonar Splosion, as there exists a brief casting period during which Yooka and Laylee are susceptible to opponents and other dangers. Notably, the Sonar Splosion attack serves as an effective means to eliminate the swarm of bees that will chase the heroes encountered during the battle against Capital B.
