In the vibrant universe of *Astro Bot*, players can embark on a thrilling adventure across dozens of worlds. However, hidden within the game is the secret Lost Galaxy, which contains ten unique worlds that can only be accessed through hidden portals scattered across ten different stages. Here's a detailed guide to help you locate each of these elusive portals.
Where Are the Portal Locations to the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot?
As you navigate through *Astro Bot*, you might notice some stages marked with a distinctive swirly icon, indicating the presence of a portal to the Lost Galaxy. These portals can be tucked away anywhere from the start to the very end of a level, so vigilance is key. If you're struggling to spot them, this guide will pinpoint each portal's location and how to access it.
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Midway through the level, you'll encounter a dark room with a wall adorned by four lit torches. Equip the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish these flames, triggering the wall to open and reveal the portal.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon
Early in the level, you'll find a snowy arena with a bouncing ladybug enemy. Proceed past it to encounter a charging pig. Grab it, then swing it towards the edge of your platform, targeting an icy statue. Once the pig destroys the statue, backtrack, flip the ladybug, and use it to bounce to a higher platform. Perform a charged spin attack to enter a room containing the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago
After defeating Captain Pincher, look behind you to find his claw embedded in the ground, marked by a glowing light. Perform a charged spin attack to drill into the ground, unveiling a hidden room with treasure and the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise
Near the level's end, locate a frog that blows bubbles. Blow into your controller to prompt the frog to start blowing bubbles. Shrink down and hitch a ride on a bubble to reach a branch above the bot. From there, navigate to the opposite branch to find the next secret portal.
Hidden Portal #5: Free Big Brother!
This portal is the easiest to find in *Astro Bot*. At the start of the level, turn around to see platforms with an electric enemy. Swim to it and bait it into electrocuting the platforms, causing the wall behind to open and reveal the hidden portal.
Hidden Portal #6: Bathhouse Battle
Midway through the level, find a house with a flaming chimney. After absorbing water, climb to the roof and extinguish the flames. Then, descend the chimney to enter a room with the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #7: Hieroglitch Pyramid
At the level's end, turn right to see an area with falling jewels. Use the nearby bounce pad to reach a hidden area. Before accessing the portal, you'll trigger a trap. Find the hidden switches in two walls pushing you back to open the path to the portal.
Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze
This is the most challenging portal to find. Obtain the puffer-fish power-up and backtrack to an area near the start with a distant platform and a bouncing ladybug enemy. Flip the ladybug, punch it towards the edge, and 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 until the hidden portal is visible. Run around its perimeter to power it up and activate it.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
After defeating Djinny and reaching the goal, turn around and climb the ruins. Notice the glowing ground indicating invisible platforms. Hover over these platforms to reach an elevated area. Unroll the rug to ride to another elevated platform, which holds the secret portal at its end.
Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
Before engaging the boss, roll a snowball until it becomes massive. Use it as a platform to reach an area along the cliff, where you'll find the final secret portal in *Astro Bot*.
