ASTRO BOT Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

Find your first Puzzle Piece. This is unmissable and will happen during the first level, Sky Garden. Pick up your first Puzzle Piece and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Nothing fancy here. Grab the shiny puzzle piece and enjoy one of the easiest trophies in the game.

Unlock Details

Open the Safari Park. The Safari Park is the fourth building created with Puzzle Pieces. Collect 64 Puzzle Pieces in total, then return to the Crash Site and the Safari Park will be built. Once the building opens, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

By the time you are reaching 64 Puzzle Pieces, you should be finding them pretty regularly. Keep grabbing them as you explore and this will come naturally without turning your playthrough into a scavenger hunt marathon.

Unlock Details

Rescue all 48 Bots in Feather Cluster. Feather Cluster is the fifth galaxy in the game and contains 48 Bots, 19 Puzzle Pieces, and 2 Secret Exits. Find and rescue every Bot across the galaxy to unlock the trophy. If you miss any during your first run, revisit the levels that still show missing Bots and clean them up.

Tip

Feather Cluster has the highest Bot count of the main galaxies, so this is a good one to stay on top of as you go. Picking them off during normal progression is much nicer than realizing later that 48 tiny astronauts have filed a missing-person report against you.

Unlock Details

Find and defeat all 8 green ravens in Bot Of War. Bot Of War is the final level in the Tentacle System. The ravens are hidden throughout the level and can be destroyed with the Leviathan Axe or, in one case, with your controller ship. Their locations are: As you fly into the level, stay to the left and hit the first raven with your controller ship. In the first main area, climb up the large structure on the left. The raven is on the back side near the sea. Along the main path, look toward the large tortoise. The raven is sitting on the ridge above it. Head left off the main path and summon the World Serpent. From its head, you can see one raven. From the World Serpent’s head, look around again for a second raven nearby. At the section where you need to drop two blocks to progress, look to the left for another raven. Go backward from the two-block section and break through the walls leading toward part of the World Tree. A raven holding a Bot can be found here. After tipping over the large statue later in the level, look underneath its left side for the final raven. Destroy all 8 and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

The ravens stand out nicely against the snowy environment, so scan the horizon whenever you reach a new open area. The first one is the easiest to miss because you need to hit it while flying into the level.

Unlock Details

Rescue all 42 Bots in Serpent Starway. Serpent Starway is the third galaxy in the game and contains 42 Bots, 16 Puzzle Pieces, and 2 Secret Exits. Rescue every Bot across the galaxy and the trophy will unlock. Any Bots you miss can be collected later by replaying the relevant levels.

Tip

Do as much of this naturally as possible while progressing through Serpent Starway. The collectible count is much less intimidating when you are picking them up a few at a time instead of turning cleanup into Astro Bot: Search Party Edition.

Unlock Details

Collect your first prize from the Gatcha Lab. The Gatcha Lab unlocks after you collect 16 Puzzle Pieces and return to the Crash Site. Once it is built, head inside and spend 100 coins on a spin. As soon as you receive your first actual prize, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You only need one prize for this trophy, so this is basically your free sample before the Gatcha Lab starts eating your coin supply.

Unlock Details

Open the Gatcha Lab. The Gatcha Lab is the first building created with the Puzzle Pieces you collect. Once you have collected 16 Puzzle Pieces, return to the Crash Site and the Gatcha Lab will be built. As soon as it opens, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You will naturally collect plenty of Puzzle Pieces while exploring levels, so there is no need to go out of your way for this one early.

Unlock Details

Rescue all 55 Bots in Lost Galaxy. Lost Galaxy is an extra galaxy containing 55 Bots and 22 Puzzle Pieces. Unlike the main galaxies, its levels are unlocked by finding Secret Exits hidden inside regular stages. You can tell a level contains a Secret Exit by checking its summary. If you see a galaxy/swirl icon alongside the normal Bot and Puzzle Piece icons, that level has a second exit hidden somewhere inside it. Finding and using the Secret Exit unlocks a new level in Lost Galaxy. Every main galaxy contains 2 Secret Exits, so you will need to explore across the game to open all of the Lost Galaxy stages. If you have trouble locating one, the bird helper available when replaying a level can lead you toward the Secret Exit. Once all Lost Galaxy levels are unlocked, work through them and rescue every Bot. The trophy will unlock after all 55 have been saved.

Tip

Do not leave every Secret Exit until the very end if you can help it. Unlocking Lost Galaxy stages as you find them breaks the cleanup into smaller chunks and makes the final collectible push feel much less like Astro has assigned you homework.

Unlock Details

Earn 150 prizes from the Gatcha Lab. The Gatcha Lab becomes available after collecting 16 Puzzle Pieces and returning to the Crash Site. Inside, you can spend 100 coins per spin to receive prizes. You need 150 actual prizes for this trophy, so you will need at least 15,000 coins. In practice, expect to spend more because some spins can give you plain soda cans instead of prizes. The best way to prepare is to collect coins naturally throughout your first playthrough. Grab loose coins, break containers, defeat enemies, and take advantage of the bonus at the end of levels. When you are sitting on the controller at the end of a level, watch for the rainbow box moving between different points on the screen. When it gains a golden glow, launch the controller into it to earn an extra 100 coins. If you still need coins later, replaying a short level such as Sky Garden in Gorilla Nebula is a solid farming option. Collect everything you can and grab the 100-coin end-of-level bonus before repeating. You can check your current prize total in the top-right corner of the Gatcha Lab. The trophy unlocks as soon as you collect your 150th prize.

Tip

Tip: Start hoarding coins early. Future you will appreciate it when you are standing in front of the Gatcha machine trying to fund Astro’s increasingly expensive toy addiction. Tip: Do not panic if your total coin cost goes past 15,000. Soda-can pulls do not count as prizes, so a little bad luck is completely normal.

Unlock Details

Rescue all 42 Bots in Gorilla Nebula. Gorilla Nebula is the first galaxy in the game and contains 42 Bots, 16 Puzzle Pieces, and 2 Secret Exits. You’ll need to find and rescue every Bot across the galaxy to unlock this trophy. If you miss any, return to the individual levels and clean them up before moving on.

Tip

Grab Bots as you see them during your first run instead of leaving the whole galaxy for cleanup. Forty-two sounds like a lot more when you decide to hunt all of them at once.

Unlock Details

Unlock the Golden Statue. The Golden Statue is the final structure built with Puzzle Pieces, and you will need to collect every Puzzle Piece in the game before it becomes available. Once you have found them all, return to the Crash Site and the Golden Statue will unlock, earning you the trophy.

Tip

This is one of the last big collectible milestones, so do not worry if it takes a while. Keep cleaning up missing Puzzle Pieces galaxy by galaxy and eventually that giant golden monument will be yours. Very subtle reward, too. Nothing says “I found everything” quite like an enormous gold statue.

Unlock Details

Rescue all 40 Bots in Camo Cosmos. Camo Cosmos is the fourth galaxy in the game and contains 40 Bots, 16 Puzzle Pieces, and 2 Secret Exits. Find and rescue every Bot throughout the galaxy to unlock the trophy. If you miss any during your first trip through the levels, you can return later and collect the remaining ones.

Tip

Camo Cosmos has slightly fewer Bots than the previous galaxies, but that does not mean they suddenly learned how to make themselves easy to find. Explore thoroughly as you go and leave as little cleanup as possible for later.

Unlock Details

Rescue your first Bot. This is unmissable and will happen during the first level, Sky Garden. Rescue the first Bot you come across and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

No cleanup needed here. Astro basically hands you this one before the adventure has even had time to get started.

Unlock Details

Open the Dual Speeder Garage. The Dual Speeder Garage is the second building created with the Puzzle Pieces you collect. Once you have collected 32 Puzzle Pieces in total, return to the Crash Site and the garage will be built. The trophy unlocks as soon as it opens.

Tip

Keep collecting Puzzle Pieces as you naturally move through levels and this should unlock without any extra work. Consider it your reward for not ignoring every shiny object you see.

Unlock Details

Rescue all 43 Bots in Tentacle System. Tentacle System is the second galaxy in the game and contains 43 Bots, 16 Puzzle Pieces, and 2 Secret Exits. You’ll need to find and rescue every Bot across the galaxy to unlock this trophy. If you finish the area and the trophy does not pop, revisit any levels where you are still missing Bots and clean them up.

Tip

Keep grabbing Bots during your first run through each level. Future you will be much happier cleaning up one or two stragglers instead of organizing a full 43-Bot rescue operation.

Unlock Details

Rescue the Special Master Bot at the top of the Golden Statue. This is the big collectible payoff. To reach the final challenge, you need all 300 Bots and all 116 Puzzle Pieces in the game. Collectibles are spread across the main galaxies, Lost Galaxy, challenge levels, space encounters, and the Crash Site. You are basically cleaning out the entire game, so by the time this unlocks Astro should probably be charging everyone rescue fees. After completing a level once, you can replay it and find a small dome near the beginning containing a bird. Spend 200 coins to release it and the bird will act as a collectible radar, pointing toward anything you are still missing and pulsing more strongly as you get closer. You can use this in every level as long as you have enough coins. You can also find collectibles while flying around the galaxies. Asteroids, space rocks, and robots carrying Puzzle Pieces can appear as you explore. Hitting them can reward collectibles or unlock additional challenge levels. These smaller stages usually contain a single Bot earned by completing a short combat or platforming challenge. If a galaxy shows everything completed but you are still missing something, spend some time flying around and checking for any remaining space encounters. The Crash Site also contains Bots and Puzzle Pieces. It is best to clean this area up later because many of its collectibles require you to have already rescued a large number of Bots. You are given a map showing Bot locations, and many of the remaining rescues involve using your existing Bots to create platforms or help reach new areas. Once you have all 300 Bots and all 116 Puzzle Pieces, head to the Golden Statue behind the Mothership. Call over all 300 Bots to create a Bot Wall and climb to the top. Enter the room there to begin the final platforming challenge. This is one of the hardest sequences in the game, so focus on controlling your movement instead of trying to rush through it. Work your way through the course and reach the very end to find the Special Master Bot. Rescue it to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Tip: Use the bird radar for any level where you are missing a stubborn collectible. Spending 200 coins is much less painful than running around the same stage for twenty minutes questioning whether a Bot has somehow learned advanced camouflage. Tip: Take your time during the final challenge. Clean movement and patience matter more than speed here. If you have already collected everything else in the game, you have absolutely got this far enough to finish one last platforming gauntlet.

Unlock Details

Collect all 3 egg artifacts in Dude Raiding. Dude Raiding is the final level in Serpent Starway, where you play as Nathan Drake. The three egg artifacts are hidden throughout the level and are collected by hitting them. Their locations are: Under the crashed plane in the tree, near the Bot. Jump off the ledge behind it to reach a hidden wall puzzle. Set every slate so it shows the face with the small eyes. This opens the wall and reveals the first egg. After sliding down the large grassy slope and reaching the water area, head to the right and follow the path. The second egg is sitting on top of a pillar. During the rope-climbing section, turn around while climbing. The final egg is on a nearby platform behind you. Collect all three and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

The first egg is the easiest one to miss because of the hidden wall puzzle. Once that one is out of the way, the other two are much more straightforward.

Unlock Details

Open the Changing Room. The Changing Room is the third building created with Puzzle Pieces. Collect 48 Puzzle Pieces in total, then return to the Crash Site to have it built. Once the Changing Room opens, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

There is no need to grind Puzzle Pieces specifically for this. If you are exploring levels properly, you should reach 48 without much trouble.
