In *Astro Bot*, the thrill of exploration extends to the secret Lost Galaxy, accessible only through hidden portals scattered across ten different worlds. As you navigate through the game, keep an eye out for stages marked with a unique swirly icon. This icon signifies the presence of a portal to the Lost Galaxy, which might be tucked away early in a level or concealed right at its end. To streamline your journey, here's a detailed guide on where to find these elusive portals and how to unlock them.
Where Are the Portal Locations to the Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot?
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail
Midway through the level, you'll encounter a dark room with a wall surrounded by four lit torches. Equip the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish these flames, prompting the wall to open and reveal the portal.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon

Pass it and reach the pig, grab it after it charges at you, and swing it toward the icy statue at the platform's edge to destroy it. Backtrack, flip the ladybug, and bounce up to the platform. Execute a charged spin attack to enter a room housing the secret portal.
