Uncover the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot Rescue Mission: A Comprehensive Guide to Finding All 10 Hidden Portals
Astro Bot Rescue Mission offers players a vast array of explorable worlds. However, a hidden tenth world, the Lost Galaxy, remains elusive, accessible only through ten cleverly concealed portals scattered throughout the game's levels. This guide provides precise locations and instructions for finding each portal.
Each level containing a hidden portal is marked by a distinctive swirling icon on the level select screen. These portals can be located early or late in a level, demanding keen observation from players.
Portal Locations:
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. The wall will then retract, revealing the portal.
2. Creamy Canyon:
Early in the level, navigate past a bouncing ladybug enemy to a charging pig. Grab the pig and swing it towards an icy statue. The statue's destruction will reveal a path. Backtrack, leap over the ladybug, and perform a charged spin attack to access the hidden portal.
3. Go-Go Archipelago:
After defeating Captain Pincher, locate his embedded claw. A glowing area nearby indicates a spot for a charged spin attack. This will unearth a hidden chamber containing the portal and treasure.
4. Downsize Surprise:
Near the level's end, find a bubble-blowing frog. Blow into your controller to activate the bubbles. Shrink your size and ride a bubble to a higher branch, then navigate to the opposite branch to discover the portal.
5. Free Big Brother!:
This portal is easily accessible at the level's start. Turn around to find platforms with an electric enemy. Lure the enemy to electrocute the platforms, revealing a hidden wall and the portal.
6. Bathhouse Battle:
Locate a house with a flaming chimney. After absorbing water, climb to the roof and extinguish the flames. Descend the chimney to find the portal.
7. Hieiroglitch Pyramid:
At the level's conclusion, turn right to find falling jewels and a bounce pad leading to a hidden area. Activate a trap and locate two hidden switches to open the path to the portal.
8. Balloon Breeze:
This is the most challenging portal. Obtain the pufferfish power-up and backtrack to an area with a ladybug enemy. Use the pufferfish and Astro's hover ability to reach a platform, then use motion controls to clear bamboo surrounding the portal. Activate it by circling the perimeter.
9. Djinny of the Lamp:
After defeating Djinny, climb the ruins, utilizing Astro's hover ability to navigate invisible platforms indicated by glowing ground sections. Ride an unfurling rug to the final platform and the portal.
10. Frozen Meal:
Before the boss fight, roll a snowball into a large ball and use it as a platform to reach a cliffside area containing the final portal.
