Dive into the vibrant world of Astro Bot, where adventure awaits around every corner! Beyond the main game's numerous levels lies the enigmatic Lost Galaxy, a secret realm accessible only through cleverly hidden portals scattered throughout ten different worlds. Ready to uncover this hidden paradise? Let's explore where to find these elusive gateways.
As you journey through Astro Bot, keep an eye out for a distinctive swirling icon next to the stage selection. This symbol indicates the presence of a hidden portal leading to the Lost Galaxy. These portals can be tucked away early in a level or even at the very end, demanding keen observation and exploration. Need a helping hand? This guide reveals the location and access method for each portal.
Hidden Portal Locations in Astro Bot's Lost Galaxy
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Midway through the level, you'll encounter a dark chamber with a wall flanked by four lit torches. Utilize the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish each flame. The wall will then magically open, revealing the portal to the Lost Galaxy.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon
Early in the level, you'll spot a snowy arena with a bouncing ladybug enemy. Proceed past it to find a charging pig. Grab the pig, swing it towards the icy statue at the platform's edge, and release it to shatter the statue. Backtrack, flip over the ladybug, bounce to the higher platform, and perform a charged spin attack to uncover the hidden portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago
After defeating Captain Pincher, turn around to locate his claw embedded in the ground. A glowing light indicates the spot for a charged spin attack. Drill into the ground to unveil a hidden chamber containing treasure and the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise
Near the level's end, you'll find a bubble-blowing frog. Blow into your controller to activate the bubbles, shrink your size, and ride a bubble. Navigate to the branch above the bot (you might need to switch bubbles), then reach the opposite branch to discover the portal.
Hidden Portal #5: Free Big Brother!
This portal is relatively easy to find. At the level's start, turn around to see platforms with an electric enemy. Lure the enemy to electrocute the platforms, opening the wall behind it to reveal the hidden portal.
Hidden Portal #6: Bathhouse Battle
Locate the house with a flaming chimney in the middle of the level. After absorbing water, climb to the roof and extinguish the flames. Descend through the chimney to find a room containing the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #7: Hieiroglitch Pyramid
At the level's end, turn right to an area with falling jewels. A bounce pad leads to a hidden portal area. Activate a trap, then find two hidden switches on the walls pushing you back to open the pathway to the portal.
Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze
This is the most challenging portal. Obtain the pufferfish power-up and backtrack to an area near the start with a distant platform and a bouncing ladybug. Flip the ladybug towards the floating area, bounce on it, activate the pufferfish, and use Astro's hover to reach the platform. Use motion controls to cut the bamboo surrounding the portal, then run its perimeter to activate it.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
After defeating Djinny, climb the ruins. Glowing ground indicates invisible platforms. Hover to each platform, then unfurl the rug and ride it to another platform containing the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
Before the boss fight, roll the snowball into a large ball and use it as a platform to reach the cliff area, revealing the final portal.
