In *Astro Bot*, players can explore a variety of worlds, but the most intriguing are the ten secret worlds located in the Lost Galaxy. These worlds are accessible only through hidden portals scattered across different levels. Here's a detailed guide on where to find these portals to unlock the mysteries of the Lost Galaxy.
Where Are the Portal Locations to the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot?
As you navigate through *Astro Bot*, keep an eye out for stages marked with a swirly icon on the level select screen. This icon indicates the presence of a hidden portal to the Lost Galaxy within that stage. These portals might be tucked away early in a level or right at the end, requiring keen observation and exploration. To help you on your quest, here's a comprehensive guide detailing the location and how to access each portal.
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Midway through the level, you'll enter a dark room with a wall surrounded by four lit torches. Use the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish the flames, and the wall will reveal the portal.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon
Early in the level, you'll encounter a snowy arena with a bouncing ladybug enemy. Move past it to find a pig. Grab the pig after it charges, swing it towards an icy statue at the edge of the platform, and release it to destroy the statue. Backtrack, flip over the ladybug, and bounce up to the platform. A charged spin attack will lead you to a room with the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago
After defeating Captain Pincher, look behind you to find his claw embedded in the ground with a glowing light. Perform a charged spin attack to drill into the ground, revealing a hidden room with treasure and the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise
Near the level's end, you'll find a frog that blows bubbles. Blow into the controller to activate the frog's bubble-blowing. Shrink your size, hitch a ride on a bubble, and navigate to the branch above the bot. From there, move to the opposite branch to discover the next secret portal.
Hidden Portal #5: Free Big Brother!
This portal is the easiest to find. Right at the level's start, turn around to see platforms with an electric enemy. Swim over, bait the enemy to electrocute the platforms, and a wall will open, revealing the hidden portal.
Hidden Portal #6: Bathhouse Battle
Mid-level, locate a house with a flaming chimney. After absorbing water, climb to the roof and extinguish the flames. Drop down the chimney to enter a room containing the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #7: Hieiroglitch Pyramid
At the level's end, turn right to see an area with falling jewels. Use the bounce pad to reach a hidden area. Before accessing the portal, you'll trigger a trap. Find the hidden switches in two walls that push you back to open the pathway to the portal.
Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze
This is the most challenging portal to locate. Obtain the puffer-fish power-up and backtrack to an area with a platform and a bouncing ladybug. Flip the ladybug, punch it toward the platform's edge, bounce on it, activate the puffer-fish power-up, and use Astro's hover ability to reach the platform. Use motion controls to cut down surrounding bamboo to reveal the portal, then run around its perimeter to activate it.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
After defeating Djinny and reaching the goal, climb the ruins to find glowing ground indicating invisible platforms. Hover over these platforms to reach an elevated platform, unfurl a rug, and ride it to another platform with the secret portal at its end.
Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
Before battling the boss, roll a snowball until it grows massive. Use it as a platform to reach a cliff area where you'll find the final secret portal in *Astro Bot*.
