Astro Bot Rescue Mission isn’t just a top-tier PlayStation 5 game; it rivals even Mario for the title of best 3D platformer. Beyond its stunning visuals, precise platforming, and inventive levels and power-ups, the game is packed with collectibles. While bots and puzzle pieces are relatively easy to find, the elusive secret exits are a true challenge. There are only 10 hidden throughout the five nebulas, two per nebula. For trophy hunters aiming for 100% completion, uncovering these secret exits is essential. This guide will pinpoint the location of every secret exit in Astro Bot Rescue Mission.
Astro Bot Secret Exit Locations
The 10 secret exits are distributed across the game’s five nebulas. Let’s explore each nebula and reveal the hidden pathways.
Az-Tech Trail Secret Exit
A wall opening up in Astro Bot.
In the Az-Tech Trail level, as you navigate with the snake gloves, you’ll encounter a room requiring you to pull a red square from the wall. This action spawns a bug, serving as a bounce pad to reach the upper level. Before bouncing, use the snake gloves to punch all four torches on the wall. This will open a hidden passage revealing the secret exit.
Creamy Canyon Secret Exit

Upon reaching the platform with the pig, which you typically spin and throw at a sprinkle-covered ice wall, turn around. Throw the pig backward at the ice block containing the puzzle piece. Retrieve the puzzle piece, then execute a charged spin to drill down and uncover the secret exit.
Go-Go Archipelago! Secret Exit

Downsize Surprise Secret Exit

Upon leaving the bedroom and returning outside, you’ll encounter a green machine producing bubbles. Shrink yourself down and ride a bubble up to the tree branch. From there, jump across to the secret exit.
Bathhouse Battle Secret Exit

In the area with the bath and rubber ducks, absorb water and make a U-turn before crossing the roof with the fire enemies. Jump to the Torri gate, then hop onto the tree. Use your stored water to extinguish the burning chimney and drop inside to find the secret exit.
Free Big Brother! Secret Exit

At the very beginning of this level, turn around and swim towards the ruins in the water. Jump onto the middle platform and lure the alien to the side pillars, provoking it to strike them with lightning. Once both pillars are hit, the door will open, revealing the secret exit.
Hieroglyph Pyramid Secret Exit

After reaching the standard level exit, turn right and jump to the platform showered with jewels. Jump to a second platform and clear the gems to reveal a breakable wooden floor. Smash through, which propels you upwards to a wall. Rub against the wall to locate the correct block to push, granting access to the secret exit.
Balloon Breeze Secret Exit

After acquiring the octopus ability and grabbing the backpack, turn around to spot a flower pot suspended in the air. Use the enemy as a springboard, get as close as possible, and then float over to the pot. Clear away the leaves to expose a lever. Pulling the lever creates a platform reachable after cutting the bamboo. Use your hover ability to activate the circular pad, spawning the secret exit.
Djinny of the Lamp Secret Exit

After defeating the Djinny and reaching the normal exit, turn around and scale the wall behind you. Break the pot to reveal an invisible path. Follow the path, observing the stone markings below. These markings glow as you pass over them, indicating safe footing. Use them to navigate the invisible path until you reach the other side. Catch a ride on the carpet to arrive at the secret exit.
Frozen Meal Secret Exit

Just before the snowman boss fight at the end of the level, locate the large snowball the penguins are building. Roll the snowball until it reaches its maximum size. Roll it into the slot on the nearby wall, climb atop the snowball, and pull the wire. This activates a vacuum. Use the vacuum to remove all the ice bricks, granting access to the secret exit.
