Ten of Astro Bot’s core worlds have secret exits in them, which allow you to unlock other hidden levels. Here’s how to find every secret exit.
There are secret exits in several Astro Bot levels, all of which will unlock a new stage in the mysterious Lost Galaxy nebula. To unlock them all, you’ll need to scour certain levels and even solve some mini puzzles.
In this Astro Bot guide, we’ll walk you through how to find all secret exits and how to unlock the 11th secret level in the Lost Galaxy.
There are 10 planets in Astro Bot that have a special swirl icon next to them in addition icons for any bots and puzzle pieces associated with that level. This denotes that there’s also a hidden disco ball in the level, which will turn into a secret exit that opens up an entirely new planet.
These secret can also be pretty tricky to locate, appearing after bosses are dead or completely obscured from view, but you’ll need to find them all if you’re trying to rescue every bot; the secret levels unlocked by the secret exits each have five bots and two puzzle pieces.
The following levels have secret exits:
Note: When you take a secret exit, it will not count as completing the level normally, so you’ll need to replay the 10 levels below at least twice if you’re looking to get a gold flag on every planet.
The secret exit in Az-Tech Trail is midway through the level, after you get the frog boxing gloves.
Continue until you use the sticky rollers to grapple your way into a dark room with four torches on the wall and a matryoshka doll enemy. Defeat the enemy and use the nearby sticky switch to liberate a ladybug trampoline.
On the wall near the torches, you’ll see four monkey faces. Use your alligator-fist gloves to destroy all four torches on the wall. (You’ll need to use the ladybug to reach the upper two.) This will open a hidden door. Behind this mysterious door is the first disco ball. Open it to leave the level early and unlock the Fan Club level in the Lost Galaxy.
The secret exit in Creamy Canyon is relatively early in the level.
Progress the level normally until you reach the ladybug trampoline burrowed in the snow. If you jump on it, you’ll notice a rather large seal made out of ice perched on a nearby tower. Ignore this for now and continue a bit further up the path, where you’ll find a charging pig. Dodge the pig and then grab its tail to spin it around and around. But instead of throwing the big at the big block of ice blocking your path, turn around and aim at the ice seal you just passed.
When you see the arrow appear above the seal, let the pig fly. The pig will crash into the seal, shattering it. Use the ladybug to reach where the seal used to be and use your charged melee to dig into the pillar. When you land, the disco ball will be right in front of you. Open it to unlock the Funky Fungi level in the Lost Galaxy.
The secret exit in Go-Go Archipelago doesn’t appear until after you defeat the boss at the end of the level.
Proceed through the level like normal until you reach the large mountain. As you climb up using your monkey backpack, you’ll see a map carved on a wall with a red X near the skull. Finish climbing and defeat Captain Pincher.
Once Pincher is down, his two pinchers will slam back into the arena, alongside the normal exit.
