In the enchanting universe of *Astro Bot*, players have the opportunity to explore dozens of captivating worlds. Yet, there's a special thrill reserved for those who venture into the secret Lost Galaxy, accessible only through hidden portals scattered across ten distinct worlds. Let's guide you through these mysterious gateways to unlock the wonders of 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 marked with a swirly icon, signaling the presence of a portal to the Lost Galaxy. These portals might be tucked away early in a level or right at its conclusion, requiring keen observation to discover. For those eager to embark on this secret journey, here's a detailed guide to pinpointing and accessing each portal.
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Midway through the level, you'll encounter a dark room adorned with a wall encircled by four lit torches. Equip the Twin-Frog Gloves to douse the flames, triggering the wall to unveil the portal to the Lost Galaxy.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon

Seize it and swing it toward the edge of your platform, targeting an icy statue. Release the pig to shatter the statue, then backtrack, flip over the ladybug, and bounce to a higher platform. A charged spin attack here will lead you to a room housing the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago

Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise

Hidden Portal #5: Free Big Brother!

Hidden Portal #6: Bathhouse Battle

Hidden Portal #7: Hieroglitch Pyramid

Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze
Screenshot captured by The Escapist. The most challenging portal to find, obtain the puffer-fish power-up and backtrack to an area with a distant platform and a bouncing ladybug. Flip the ladybug, punch it toward the platform, bounce on it, activate the puffer-fish power-up, and hover to the platform. Use motion controls to clear surrounding bamboo, then run around the portal's perimeter to activate it.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp

Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
