Astro Bot Photo Spots can be confusing, as you’ll most probably find them before you actually know how to use them. These fun cut-out prop boards are located across the game, appearing early in your adventure. The camera pans in when you approach them and the characters around you react when you stand behind them. So, what are they? Well, we touched briefly on them in our Astro Bot guide for budding space adventurers, but essentially you need to unlock the right tool for the job - a camera. Once you’ve done this, you’ll be on your way to earning the Strike A Pose! Trophy from the Astro Bot Trophy list. Here's how to acquire the camera and take a picture at a Photo Spot in Astro Bot, one of the best games of 2024.
How to get the camera for Astro Bot Photo Spots
To get the camera for Astro Bot Photo Spots, you need to open the Safari Park on the Crash Site hub planet with the Puzzle Pieces that form part of the Astro Bot collectibles. This is the fourth construction you'll unlock in this way, following the Gatcha Lab, Dual Speeder Garage, and Changing Room containing all of your Astro Bot outfits, which means you'll need to find a total of 64 Puzzle Pieces to reach this point. If you've been 100% completing levels as you go, including the Lost Galaxy and searching the Crash Site, then you should have enough around the time that you can smash the lock in Serpent Starway.
With the Safari Park open, head inside and you'll be presented with the camera, which can then be activated at any time by pressing up on the d-pad. Move ahead to the marked area, then tap up on the d-pad and take a photo with R2 to unlock the Strike A Pose! Trophy. From this point onwards, the camera will appear whenever you discover a cut-out prop board to stand behind, and if you take a photo then you'll receive some bonus coins – the pictures will also be automatically saved to your Media Gallery, so you can view them there later.
