Djinny of the Lamp Astro Bot: The Secret Portal Everyone Misses

Finding everything in Djinny of the Lamp Astro Bot is basically a rite of passage for anyone trying to platinum the game. It’s one of those levels that starts off feeling like a standard desert romp and then suddenly pivots into a chaotic tornado-fueled boss fight. If you’ve been scratching your head trying to find that one last bot or the elusive Lost Galaxy entrance, you’re definitely not alone.

Honestly, the Feather Cluster is where the game starts to really test your peripheral vision. Djinny of the Lamp isn't just about beating a purple robotic genie; it's about paying attention to the stuff the game wants you to walk past.

The Djinny of the Lamp Secret Level Trick

Most players finish the boss fight, see the level exit, and just hop right through. Big mistake. If you want to unlock the High-Suction Hero level in the Lost Galaxy, you have to literally turn your back on the exit.

After you’ve smashed the Djinny’s hat and he’s retreated into his lamp, don’t leave. Turn around. Look at the ground where those glowing stone tiles are. You’ll notice they form a path leading out into what looks like thin air. This is a classic invisible walkway. Walk across those invisible blocks—they’ll light up as you step on them—until you reach a rolled-up magic carpet.

Give that carpet a spin attack. It’ll unfurl and float you up to a higher platform. Once you're up there, pull the wires to reveal the secret disco-ball portal. That’s your ticket to the Lost Galaxy. It's subtle, but once you know it's there, it's impossible to miss.

Every Bot Location in Djinny of the Lamp

There are seven bots to rescue here, and a couple of them are deep-cut PlayStation cameos that’ll make old-school fans pretty happy.

1. Galactic Pirate (Jaster Rogue): Early on, you’ll see a cannon. Don't just ignore it. Climb the ladder on the back of the cannon to find Jaster from Rogue Galaxy.
2. The Rooftop Hider: Before you even trigger the genie, check the town roofs. One bot is just chilling on top of a building near a clothesline.
3. The Pottery Captive: You’ll find a group of enemies surrounding a monkey bot who’s levitating a bunch of pots. Smash everything. One of the pots holds a bot that was basically caught in the crossfire.
4. Kat (Gravity Rush): Once the tornado starts and the level gets crazy, look for a falling airplane. Kat is hanging onto the tail fin for dear life. You’ve gotta dash over to grab her before the platforming gets too intense.
5. The Hidden Wall Bot: After you get the Barkster (the bulldog booster), look for a wall with a bulldog symbol. It’s hidden behind some breakable pottery. Smash through the wall to find this one.
6. The Umbrella Bot: This one is tricky. There's a bot hanging onto a purple umbrella near some rotating cubes. You have to use the Barkster dash to reach the cubes, then jump over to the umbrella.
7. Raven (Gravity Rush): Near the end, by the giant vertical spinning fan, look at the very top of the fan’s blades. Use the platforms to get enough height to reach her.

Taking Down the Djinny Boss

The fight itself is more about timing than raw power. The Djinny of the Lamp follows a very specific rhythm. He’s going to throw waves of skulls at you. The white ones? Avoid those like the plague. The golden skull is your weapon.

When he throws the gold one, use your bulldog dash (R2) to slam into it and launch it back at his face. You have to do this three times. Each round gets a bit more crowded with "Smoky Jab-Jabs" and other annoying enemies, but the core mechanic stays the same. Once he's stunned after the third hit, dash directly into the Barkster symbol on his hat to finish the job.

Finding those Puzzle Pieces

Don't forget the puzzle pieces while you're dodging tornadoes.

• Piece 1: Right at the start on the Dual Speeder. It’s floating in a mini-tornado. If you miss it, honestly, just restart the level immediately.
• Piece 2: On a roof in the starting town. You’ll need to climb a ladder after walking across a clothesline tightrope.
• Piece 3: Inside a giant pot near the end of the level, just before you reach the spinning fan area.

Pro Tips for 100% Completion

If you're struggling with the platforming in the second half, remember that the Barkster dash gives you a tiny bit of extra air time. It’s not a double jump, but it can bridge gaps that feel just a little too wide.

Also, the "invisible" path to the secret portal actually has a visual cue. Look at the sand particles blowing over the blocks. Even if the blocks aren't lit up yet, the way the wind hits them gives away where the floor is.

Actionable Next Steps:

1. Re-run the level specifically for the Raven and Kat bots if you missed them during the chaos.
2. Unlock High-Suction Hero by using the stone-tile path after the boss fight.
3. Check your collection in the Crash Site to make sure Jaster Rogue and the Gravity Rush crew are accounted for.
