In the captivating universe of *Astro Bot*, players can dive into a multitude of worlds, but the real thrill lies in uncovering the secret Lost Galaxy. This hidden realm is accessible through ten portals scattered across ten different worlds. Here's your comprehensive guide to locating these elusive portals and unlocking the wonders of the Lost Galaxy.
Where Are the Portal Locations to the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot?
As you navigate through the stages of *Astro Bot*, keep an eye out for a distinctive swirly icon that appears alongside the number of bots and puzzle pieces in each world. This icon signifies the presence of a portal to the Lost Galaxy. These portals could be tucked away early in a level or even right at the end, so vigilance is key. If you're looking for a quick and efficient way to find them, this guide is here to help you pinpoint each portal and unlock its secrets.
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Midway through the level, you'll encounter a dark room with a wall illuminated by four torches. Equip the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish these flames, and watch as the wall recedes, revealing the portal to the Lost Galaxy.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon

After it charges at you, grab it and swing it towards the icy statue on the platform's edge. Once the statue is destroyed, backtrack, flip the ladybug, and use it to bounce up to a platform where a charged spin attack will unveil the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago

Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze

Flip the ladybug, use it to bounce, activate the puffer-fish power-up, and hover to the platform. Use motion controls to clear the bamboo around the portal, then run its perimeter to activate it.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
