Bathhouse Battle can be found inthe Serpent Starway star systemand becomes available onceAstro Botplayers have finished the Slo-Mo Casino stage. Those looking to fully complete it will need to find seven Bots, three Puzzle Pieces, and one Lost Galaxy warp, the latter of which is particularly well hidden.
To accomplish this,Astro Botplayers will need to make use of the stage’s sponge power-up, which allows Astro to become bigger, clean up messes, and extinguish flames. The latter will be important when it comes to finding the Bathhouse Battle secret exit, as it’s hidden away inside a flaming chimney.
Bathhouse Battle Bot #1
The first Bathhouse Battle Bot is tied to a rock in the stage’s opening area before the big water slide.
Bathhouse Puzzle Piece #1
Shortly after acquiring the sponge power-up players will see a ring of saplings to their right. Spraying these with water will cause them to grow into pink bushes, and doing this with all twelve of them will cause a Puzzle Piece to appear in the center of the ring.
Bathhouse Battle Bot #2
The stage’s second Bot can be found by washing away the ink to the left of the ink-spitting enemy that’s guarding the path forward.
Bathhouse Battle Bot #3
Not long after rescuing the previous Bot, players will come to an area with a green spitting enemy and some bamboo. After breaking through the bamboo, they’ll see a bamboo pipe to their right. Filling this with water will allow them to cross over to a secret area, where they’ll find the third Bathhouse Battle Bot just waiting to be rescued.
Bathhouse Puzzle Piece #2
In the next area, players will find an enemy spitting ink onto a Japanese-style mural. After killing the enemy, they should clear away the ink, which will reveal the stage’s second Puzzle Piece.
Bathhouse Battle Bot #4
There’s a green sprout on the opposite side of the area where players find the second Puzzle Piece. Spraying this with water will cause a structure to come out of the ground, on top of which players will find the next Bot.
Bathhouse Battle Portal / Secret Exit
Immediately after climbing up the pile of sponges to exit the previous area, players should load up on water and take a left towards the big red tori gate. From here, they can climb up onto a cherry blossom tree and extinguish the flames coming out of the nearby chimney. Doing so will allow them to jump inside, where they’ll findthe Bathhouse Battle warp portalbeing guarded by a screw enemy.
Bathhouse Battle Bot #5
If players go straight after climbing the sponges rather than left, they’ll soon come to some platforms that they need to climb to reach the next area. If they make their way to the right here instead of going straight up, they’ll find the fifth Bathhouse Battle Bot clinging to a ledge.
Bathhouse Battle Bot #6
When players arrive in the area with the wooden boxes containing sponges, they should look for a flaming platform over to their right. After extinguishing the flames, they’ll finda cameo Bot based on one of the Shibito enemies from theSirengamescowering behind the platform.
Bathhouse Puzzle Piece #3
The last Bathhouse Battle Puzzle Piece is on top of one of the piles of sponges near where players find the Shibito Bot.
Bathhouse Battle Bot #7
Right after using the aforementioned sponges to reach the next area, players will find a large red circle with a flaming dog on it on the ground. If they stand on this after absorbing some water, they’ll fall through to a secret area. Here, they’ll need to spray water to clear a path, which will eventually lead them to a cameo Bot based on Kutaro from an oldPS3-exclusive gamecalledPuppeteer.
