Uncover the Secrets of Astro Bot's Lost Galaxy: A Comprehensive Guide to Finding All 10 Hidden Portals
Astro Bot Rescue Mission offers players a vast array of explorable worlds. However, a hidden tenth world, the Lost Galaxy, remains elusive, accessible only through ten cleverly concealed portals scattered throughout the main game. This guide details the location and access method for each portal.
Note that levels containing a hidden portal are indicated by a swirling icon on the level select screen. These portals can be found early or late in a level, so keep your eyes peeled!
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Mid-level, locate a dark chamber with a wall flanked by four lit torches. Utilize the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish all four flames. This will reveal the portal.
Hidden Portal #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 and swing it towards the icy statue at the platform's edge. Releasing the pig will destroy the statue. Backtrack, leap over the ladybug, and bounce to the upper platform. Perform a charged spin attack to uncover the hidden room and portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago
After defeating Captain Pincher, locate his claw embedded in the ground. A glowing light indicates a spot for a charged spin attack. Drill into the ground to access a hidden room containing treasure and the portal.
Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise
Towards the level's end, find a bubble-blowing frog. Blow into your controller to activate the bubbles. Shrink down and ride a bubble to a branch above a bot (you might need to switch bubbles). From there, navigate to the opposite branch to find the portal.
Hidden Portal #5: Free Big Brother!
This portal is easily accessible. At the level's start, turn around to find platforms with an electric enemy. Lure it to electrocute the platforms, revealing the hidden wall and portal.
Hidden Portal #6: Bathhouse Battle
Locate the house with a flaming chimney. After absorbing water, climb to the roof and extinguish the flames. Descend the chimney to find the portal.
Hidden Portal #7: Hieiroglitch Pyramid
At the level's conclusion, turn right to an area with falling jewels. A bounce pad leads to a hidden area. Activate a trap, then locate two hidden switches to open the path to the portal.
Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze
This is the most challenging portal. Obtain the pufferfish power-up and backtrack to an early area with a distant platform and ladybug enemy. Launch the ladybug towards the platform, activate the pufferfish, and use Astro's hover to reach the platform. Use motion controls to clear bamboo surrounding the portal, then activate it by circling its perimeter.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
After defeating Djinny, climb the ruins. Invisible platforms are indicated by glowing ground. Hover to each platform, then ride a rug to the final platform containing the portal.
Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
Before the final boss, roll a snowball into a large ball and use it as a platform to reach the cliffside, where the final portal awaits.
This concludes the guide to locating all ten hidden portals in Astro Bot Rescue Mission. Good luck exploring the Lost Galaxy! Further guides on trophy unlocks and cameos are available elsewhere.
Astro Bot Rescue Mission is available now on PlayStation 5.
