Astro Bot Serpent Starway Walkthrough – All Bot Locations, Puzzle Pieces, & Secrets

With Astro Bot now out in the wild, that means players will have plenty of bots to find, puzzle pieces to unearth, and of course, secrets to discover. As you attempt to put together the mothership and save the day, it will eventually bring you to specific galaxies like the Gorilla Nebula or the Tentacle System, but if you are seeking help on the Serpent Starway galaxy in Astro Bot, we have all the info you’ll need.

Serpent Starway in Astro Bot

This will be the third main area that players will have to conquer in order to repair the mothership. With the green alien once again escaping our grasp, it will require the completion of four main levels, the boss level, and a themed level to get what you need. Along the way, there will also be various shorter secret levels that must be completed if you are hoping to collect everything within the Serpent Starway.

Slo-Mo Casino in Astro Bot

The first level of the galaxy, players will have to master their timing using the stopwatch to slow down time in order to get past the obstacles. Here’s where you will need to go if you wish to find every bot and puzzle piece in the level.

Bot #1

After getting past the busy crossing of flying cars, look at the fountain before you. Three dolphins will jump up, forming platforms that can get you to the nearby roof. Stop time using R2 and make your way up. Defeat the enemies here, and the bot will drop down, ready to be rescued.

Bot #2

After entering the casino area, you can spot four different slot machines here. The one on the right will have a bot just hanging on the screen. Watch the spinning symbols closely, and stop time so you can hit the power button when it displays a row of bots. This will make it a winning spin, and send the bot dropping down as well.

Bot #3

Moving on from the previous area, you will reach a part where there are balancing planks to navigate past. Defeat the first enemy here, and you will spot a bot hanging out on a small platform. Stay on the right of the plank, stop time, and jump up to the bot.

Puzzle Piece #1

As you progress up, look to the right at the top. You will need to adjust the plank to face the other way so you can make the jump to two thin platforms, before landing near the puzzle piece.

Puzzle Piece #2

Eventually, you will reach a platform with an iguana spitting fireballs at you. Defeat it, and look off the platform to the left. You will spot a roulette wheel with the second puzzle piece. Suspend time and jump down to grab it, but watch for the electricity.

Bot #4 Ring-Tailed Thief

At the area with the floating chips, once you get to the top, turn around to see the special bot stuck behind a golden cage. Slow down time and jump over, and go around it to find the symbol puzzle. Use the DualSense vibration to find the right panel and push in to rescue the bot.

Bot #5

Before crossing the gate after defeating the card shark enemy, jump down to the left to find a bot stuck on the spinning fans. Slow down time and give it a good whack to save your friend.

Bot #6 Dice Tumbler

After jumping across the two giant dice, destroy the stack of purple chips to reveal wires that can be pulled. It will create a trampoline that launches Astro across, where a secret area can be accessed. Simply punch the big dice in this area to reach the special bot.

Bot #7 Phantom Thief

Locate the darts area, particularly the one with two darts. On top of the dartboard will be this special bot, so slow down time just as the darts hit the board. This will allow you to jump across and climb the ladder to find this bot.

Puzzle Piece #3

In the same area, look below the platform from which you jump onto the darts. Follow the coins into an alcove, where you can stop time to jump across spinning wheels to reach the final puzzle piece.
