In the expansive universe of *Astro Bot*, players can venture into the mysterious Lost Galaxy, accessible only through hidden portals scattered across ten different worlds. These portals are marked by a unique swirly icon when selecting stages, hinting at their presence within each level. Whether you're an avid explorer or simply seeking to uncover all the secrets *Astro Bot* has to offer, this guide will help you locate each of these elusive gateways to 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 with a swirly icon next to them. This icon signifies that a portal to the Lost Galaxy is hidden somewhere within that level. These portals can be tucked away early in the stage or right at the end, so thorough exploration is key. If you need a quick reference, this guide details the location of each portal and how to access 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 each flame, causing the wall to reveal the portal to the Lost Galaxy.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon
Early in the level, you'll come across a snowy arena with a bouncing ladybug enemy. Continue past it to find a pig. After it charges, grab it and swing it toward the icy statue at the platform's edge. The pig will shatter the statue, allowing you to backtrack, flip the ladybug, and bounce up to a platform where a charged spin attack will reveal the portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago
After defeating Captain Pincher, look for his claw embedded in the ground. A glowing light signals the spot for a charged spin attack. Drill into the ground to uncover a secret room with the portal.
Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise
Near the level's end, you'll encounter a bubble-blowing frog. Shrink down and ride a bubble to a branch above a bot. From there, 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 level's start, turn around to see platforms with an electric enemy. Lure it to electrocute the platforms, revealing a hidden portal behind it.
Hidden Portal #6: Bathhouse Battle
Midway through the 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 with the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #7: Hieiroglitch Pyramid
At the level's end, turn right to an area with falling jewels. Use a bounce pad to reach a hidden area, but be prepared for a trap. Find hidden switches on two walls to open the pathway to the portal.
Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze
This is the most challenging portal to locate. Acquire the puffer-fish power-up and backtrack to a platform with a bouncing ladybug. Flip the ladybug, bounce on it, activate the puffer-fish power-up, and hover to the platform. Use motion controls to clear the surrounding bamboo, then run around the portal's perimeter to activate it.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
After defeating Djinny and reaching the goal, climb the ruins. Glowing ground indicates invisible platforms. Hover to each platform, then use a rug to reach another elevated platform with the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
Before the boss fight, roll a snowball into a large ball and use it to reach a cliffside area. There, you'll find the final secret portal in *Astro Bot*.
