How to unlock Balloon Breeze Lost Galaxy in Astro Bot

Two levels per galaxy in Astro Bot contain a secret exit to a level in the Lost Galaxy. For the most part, they can be tricky to find. The Lost Galaxy exit in Balloon Breeze easily falls under this category, because unlocking it takes a bit of awareness.

You probably cleared Balloon Breeze before realizing you missed the Lost Galaxy exit completely. Just know that you’re not alone. I was moments before the end of the stage when I had to stop and scratch my head. Where the hell did I miss the exit? My friends, it was quite a while ago.

Balloon Breeze Lost Galaxy exit location in Astro Bot

The Lost Galaxy exit is near the start of Balloon Breeze. If you’re near the end of the stage, it’s best to finish and start again. Thankfully, you won’t have far to go.

Make progress on the stage until you reach the part with the ladybug robot. Knock the ladybug upside down and bonk it toward the platform’s edge near the pink flower.

As before, reach the pink flower and wait for Big Brother to show up with the balloon ability. Take it and turn around. Do you see what appears to be a large, flying potted plant? That’s where we need to go.

Next, return to the ladybug. This time, turn it over and bonk it to the edge closest to the flying potted plant.

Use the ladybug as a jump pad and, at the height of your jump, activate the balloon and float to the flying pot.

Use your spin attack to clear the flower petals. Activate the spinning switch and a hidden island will ascend from the clouds. Again, activate your float ability to reach the new island.

Press the button to activate a shuriken-tossing controller. Use it to cut down the cluster of bamboo in the center.

Once that’s done, jump onto the platform that was hidden by the bamboo. Use your jump jets and circle the robotic face, turning the gray rectangles blue.

When all the lights are blue, the Lost Galaxy disco ball appears. Pull down on its wires to reveal the secret exit.

The Lost Galaxy exit unlocks the Danger Dojo level of Astro Bot. If you like shooting shuriken at things, this level is made for you.
