In the expansive universe of *Astro Bot*, players can explore dozens of worlds, but there's a special treat hidden within the game: the Lost Galaxy. This secret area contains ten unique worlds, accessible only through hidden portals scattered across ten different stages. Here's a detailed guide to help you locate these elusive portals and 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 distinctive swirly icon. This icon indicates the presence of a portal to the Lost Galaxy, which could be hidden anywhere from the beginning to the end of a level. To save you time and effort, here's a comprehensive guide to finding each portal.
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail

Midway through the level, you'll encounter a dark room with a wall surrounded by four lit torches. Use the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish the flames, and the wall will reveal the portal to the Lost Galaxy.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon

Grab the pig and swing it towards the icy statue at the edge of the platform. Once the statue is destroyed, backtrack, flip over the ladybug, and bounce up to a new platform. Perform a charged spin attack to access the secret portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago

Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze

Flip the ladybug, punch it towards the platform, and bounce on it. Use the puffer-fish power-up and Astro's hover ability to reach the platform. Use motion controls to cut down surrounding bamboo, revealing the portal. Run around its perimeter to activate it.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp
