Unlocking the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot: A Comprehensive Guide to Finding All 10 Hidden Portals
Astro Bot Rescue Mission offers players a vast array of explorable worlds. Beyond the standard levels, however, lies the Lost Galaxy, a secret area accessible only through ten hidden portals scattered throughout the main game. This guide details the location and method for accessing each portal. Look for a swirling icon on the level select screen – its presence indicates a hidden portal within that stage.
Portal Locations and Access Methods:
1. Az-Tech Trail:
Mid-level, locate a dark chamber with four lit torches. Utilize the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish all four flames. This action will reveal the hidden portal behind the wall.
2. Creamy Canyon:
Early in the level, you'll encounter a snowy arena with a ladybug enemy. Proceed past it to a charging pig. Grab the pig, swing it, and aim towards the icy statue at the platform's edge. Releasing the pig will destroy the statue. Backtrack, flip over the ladybug, bounce to the upper platform, and perform a charged spin attack to uncover the portal.
3. Go-Go Archipelago:
After defeating Captain Pincher, locate his claw embedded in the ground. A glowing light indicates the location for a charged spin attack. Drill into the ground to access a hidden room containing the portal.
4. Downsize Surprise:
Towards the end, find a bubble-blowing frog. Blow into your controller to initiate bubble production. Shrink your size, ride a bubble, and transfer to another bubble if necessary, to reach a branch above a bot. Navigate to the opposite branch to find the portal.
5. Free Big Brother!:
At the level's start, turn around to find platforms with an electric enemy. Lure the enemy to electrocute the platforms, revealing the portal behind.
6. Bathhouse Battle:
Locate the house with a flaming chimney. After absorbing water, reach the roof and extinguish the flames. Descend the chimney to find the portal.
7. Hieiroglitch Pyramid:
At the level's end, turn right to an area with falling jewels. A bounce pad leads to a hidden area. Activate a trap and locate two hidden switches to open the pathway to the portal.
8. Balloon Breeze:
This requires the puffer-fish power-up. Backtrack to an early area with a distant platform and a ladybug. Launch the ladybug towards the floating area, bounce on it, activate the puffer-fish, and use Astro's hover to reach the platform. Use motion controls to clear bamboo and activate the portal.
9. Djinny of the Lamp:
After defeating Djinny, climb the ruins. Invisible platforms (indicated by glowing ground) require Astro's hover ability. Traverse these platforms, unfurl a rug, and ride it to the final platform containing the portal.
10. Frozen Meal:
Before the boss fight, roll a snowball into a large ball and use it as a platform to reach the cliffside, where the final portal awaits.
This completes the guide to locating all ten Lost Galaxy portals in Astro Bot Rescue Mission. Good luck! Further guides for walkthroughs and trophy unlocks are available elsewhere. Astro Bot Rescue Mission is available on PlayStation 5.
