In *Astro Bot*, players can explore a multitude of worlds, but the most intriguing are the ten secret worlds hidden within the Lost Galaxy. To access these, you must find hidden portals scattered across ten different levels. Here's a detailed guide on where to locate these portals and how to access them.
Where Are the Portal Locations to the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot?
As you navigate through *Astro Bot*, you'll 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 early in a level or right at the end, so vigilance is key. If you're looking for a shortcut, this guide will pinpoint each portal's location and provide instructions on how to reach them.
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Midway through the level, you'll encounter 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 find a snowy arena with a bouncing ladybug enemy. Move past it to encounter a charging pig. Grab the pig, swing it towards the edge of the platform until the icy statue is targeted, and release it to destroy the statue. Backtrack, flip over the ladybug, bounce up to the platform, and perform a charged spin attack to access the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago
After defeating Captain Pincher, turn around to spot 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 the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise
Near the level's end, you'll encounter a bubble-blowing frog. Blow into the controller to start the frog blowing bubbles, then shrink and ride a bubble to the branch above the bot. Jump to another bubble if needed, and navigate to the opposite branch to find the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #5: Free Big Brother!
This portal is the easiest to find. At the start of the level, turn around to see platforms with an electric enemy. Swim over, bait the enemy to electrocute the platforms, and the wall behind will open, revealing the hidden portal.
Hidden Portal #6: Bathhouse Battle
Mid-level, locate the house with the flaming chimney. After absorbing water, climb to the roof and extinguish the flames. Hop down the chimney to enter a room with the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #7: Hieiroglitch Pyramid
At the level's end, turn right to 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 pushing you back to open the pathway to the portal.
Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze
This is the most complex portal to find. Obtain the puffer-fish power-up, then backtrack to an area near the start with a distant platform and a bouncing ladybug. Flip the ladybug, punch it towards the platform, 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, revealing the portal. Run around its perimeter to power it up.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
After defeating Djinny and reaching the goal, climb the ruins. The glowing ground indicates invisible platforms. Hover over these platforms, guided by glowing concrete slabs, to reach an elevated platform. Unfold the rug to ride to another platform with the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
Before facing the boss, roll the snowball into a massive ball. Use it as a platform to reach the cliff area, where you'll find the final secret portal in *Astro Bot*.
