Unlocking the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot: A Comprehensive Guide to Finding All 10 Hidden Portals
Astro Bot Rescue Mission offers a wealth of exploration beyond its main levels. Ten hidden portals lead to the secret Lost Galaxy, requiring players to discover cleverly concealed entrances within the game's existing worlds. This guide details the location and method for accessing each portal. Look for a swirling icon on the level select screen to indicate a hidden portal within that stage.
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Mid-level, locate a dark chamber with four lit torches surrounding a wall. Utilize the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish all four flames. This will reveal the portal.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon
Early in the level, a snowy area features a bouncing ladybug enemy. Proceed past it to a charging pig. Grab the pig, swing it towards the icy statue, and release it to shatter the statue. Backtrack, leap over the ladybug, and reach the upper platform. Perform a charged spin attack to uncover the portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago
After defeating Captain Pincher, locate his claw embedded in the ground. A glowing light indicates the location for a charged spin attack. Drill into the ground to access a hidden chamber containing the portal.
Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise
Towards the level's end, find a bubble-blowing frog. Blow into the controller to initiate bubble production. Shrink, ride a bubble, and transfer to another bubble if needed, to reach a branch above a bot. Navigate to the opposite branch to find the portal.
Hidden Portal #5: Free Big Brother!
At the level's start, turn around to find platforms and an electric enemy. Lure the enemy to electrocute the platforms, revealing a hidden wall and the 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 with a trap. Locate two hidden switches to open the pathway to the portal.
Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze
Obtain the pufferfish power-up. Backtrack to an early area with a distant platform and a bouncing ladybug. Launch the ladybug towards the platform using a punch. Bounce on it, 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 located where the ground glows. Use Astro's hover to reach each platform. Unfurl the rug on the final platform to reach the portal.
Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
Before the boss fight, roll a snowball into a large ball and use it as a platform to reach the cliffside, revealing the final portal.
