Embarking on an adventure through *Astro Bot*, players will discover a multitude of captivating worlds. However, tucked away in the mysterious Lost Galaxy are ten exclusive worlds, accessible only by locating hidden portals within ten different levels. Here's a detailed guide to help you uncover these secret portals.
Where Are the Portal Locations to the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot?
As you navigate through *Astro Bot*, you'll notice certain stages marked with a distinctive swirly icon. This icon signifies the presence of a portal to the Lost Galaxy within that stage. These portals can be cleverly hidden, appearing anywhere from the beginning to the very end of a level. To ensure you don't miss them, keep your eyes peeled, or follow this comprehensive guide to pinpoint each portal and learn how to access them.
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Midway through the level, you'll encounter a dark room featuring a wall surrounded by four lit torches. Equip the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish these flames, causing the wall to open and reveal the portal.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon
Screenshot captured by The Escapist Early in the level, you'll come across a snowy arena with a bouncing ladybug enemy. Proceed past it to encounter a charging pig. Grab the pig, and as you swing it, aim for the icy statue at the platform's edge. Release the pig to shatter the statue, then backtrack to flip over the ladybug and bounce up to the platform. Execute a charged spin attack to access a room containing the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago
Screenshot captured by The Escapist After defeating Captain Pincher, turn around to spot his claw embedded in the ground, accompanied by a glowing light. Perform a charged spin attack to drill into the ground, uncovering a hidden room filled with treasure and the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #4: Downsize Surprise

Shrink your size and ride a bubble to the branch above the bot, possibly switching bubbles to prevent popping. Navigate to the opposite branch to discover the next secret portal.
Hidden Portal #5: Free Big Brother!

Hidden Portal #6: Bathhouse Battle

Hidden Portal #7: Hieiroglitch 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 early area with a distant platform and a bouncing ladybug enemy. Flip the ladybug, punch it towards the platform's edge, and bounce on it. Activate the puffer-fish power-up to hover to the platform. Use motion controls to cut down surrounding bamboo, revealing the portal. Run around its perimeter to power it up and activate it.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
Screenshot captured by The Escapist After defeating Djinny and reaching the goal, climb the ruins, noting the glowing ground indicating invisible platforms. Hover to each platform, guided by glowing concrete slabs, to reach an elevated platform. Unfold the rug to ride to another elevated platform hosting the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #10: Frozen Meal
Screenshot captured by The Escapist Before confronting the boss, roll a snowball into a massive ball and use it as a platform to reach an area along the cliff, leading to the final secret portal in Astro Bot.
