If, like me, you have a wistful nostalgia for the aesthetic of the classic cartoon, Rolie Polie Olie, then I have good news for you: Astro Bot’s Luna Sola level channels that early 20th century feeling something fierce. Throw in some trippy day/night mechanics and it’s a lot to take in. So, let’s take the hassle out of tracking down collectibles so you can bop to this Luna Sola’s vibe.
Where to find every bot and puzzle piece in Luna Sola
Luna Sola Bots
Bot 1: The first bot is located behind a textured wall at the beginning. Take care of the Flame Spewer and break down the wall to rescue them.
Bot 2: The second bot is immediately after switching the level to night. Beat on the slime to free its hostage.
Bot 3 (Papercraft Postie): Iota from Tearaway is being held captive in a cage by a spooky ghost. After ascending the multicolored stairs, take out the enemies at the top, and pull the cord in the ground to the right. This will give you a light that reveals hidden platforms. Ascend them and toss the light at the ghost to free our paper friend.
Bot 4: After switching back to day, jump up the platforms moving vertically. The fourth bot is hiding behind the wall at the top.
Bot 5: Slide down the rail and take out the slimes that spawn on either side of the electric barrier to reveal the fifth bot.
Bot 6: Hit the light next to the rubber duckie pond to switch the level to day. This will dump the pond on Astro, but will reveal the sixth bot. Jump inside and pull the cord to reveal dynamite which is used to break the window.
Bot 7 (Knitted Kid): Sackboy is tucked in a portal in the same area as the third puzzle piece. Switch the level back to day and break through the glass on the right. Jump down and swap the level to night. Activate the correct green button to open a portal.
You’ll be transported to a retro level. Follow each short path, taking care of the enemies, and hitting the switches to rotate the level. Eventually you’ll come across Sackboy and a rope that leads you back to the main level.
Luna Sola Puzzle Pieces
Piece 1: When you switch to night after saving the fifth bot, you’ll see a spinning disc. Pull the rope in the ground to reveal a lightbulb. This will reveal hidden blocks. Follow them across the spinning disc to the first puzzle piece.
Piece 2: After encountering the first centipede troop, use a spin attack to destroy them. Swap the level to night and ascend the ladders. The tunnel at the top will now be a hole that contains the second puzzle piece.
Piece 3: You’ll come across so arches with glass windows. Swap the level to day after dispatching the enemies and you’ll see a rope in a wall. Turn the level back to night and go pull the rope to reveal the third and final puzzle piece.
