EASY Guide: How to Complete the Great Master Challenge in Astro Bot

[@TranceClassicsOfficial]

Well done on collecting all bots and puzzles, here is your reward. A fucking insanely frustrating challenge level. This one and the one with the ducks and lava sucked major balls.

[@PizzalandStudios]

Somebody else agrees that splashing sprint was horrible!

[@Max_The_Sniff]

Actually made me end the game on a low :(

[@JonathanWendt1986]

Splashing sprint was awful. Still working on beating the great master challenge

[@GiBMan70]

I stopped this one before I got too frustrated...didn't want this to be my last memory of the game. For me, getting the 300 was my end. Not a 'git gud' grind like this is.

[@tacotitofrito_69]

I genuinely enjoyed playing the whole game and was looking forward to seeing what was atop the cool gold statue. Then comes this level. Once i saw the symbols X O Square and Triangle symbols i knew it was about to be a shitty time and boy was i right.

[@MadeBy9K]

This level is insanely fuking hard. Screw this

[@weird-manYT]

I hate this. Just as I thought I was getting an award for beating the game, instead I getting this

[@MarcTRussell]

you collect all the puzzle pieces and unlock the statue, you rescue all the bots and this is the reward?! It’s a punishment.

[@murremannanting7092]

Its nice, a challenging level. Isnt this what the game is about?

[@TDF0907]

I just wanted to say thank you. I played for about 10 minutes yesterday, watched this before bed and today I managed to get it with another 30 minutes of play. By far the hardest section for me to master was the pull cord bird with the bells. The last section with the birds and ice blocks had me worried but somehow I got that section on my first try.

[@BlazeLs-je7yo]

That pull cord bird with the bells was super easy for me. It was everything after that, and between the birds at the end that had me dying over and over lol.

[@jeremymodell]

Finall figured out the trick for the last spinning guy- the ice blocks last much longer than you think if you dont run, so jump onto the first one and wait a second to time the rest of your run. Trying to time It while running straight was just impossible.

[@animeisthabomb101]

This was so helpful. Besides that I was having trouble timing the stupid birds at the end.

[@BlazeLs-je7yo]

Yea, I figured that out real quick actually. I was doing exactly what you just said to do. One part that was giving me so much trouble for some reason was that stupid chameleon shooting fire balls as you have to jump between the button platforms.

[@adora_burst8143]

Ngl I really don't wanna do this. I just beat the final boss and collected all 300 bots. I was expecting a special bot at the top not another pain in the ass challenge. I really just wanna be done with this game already.

[@LocoCocoPops]

That spinning X near the end has had my life so many times

[@randomfools808]

Its one of the hardest jumps in the game. I've gotten to it many times and perfected most of the rest. There needed to be a checkpoint right before that green triangle.

[@JhuntdaProdigy]

Took me about 30-40 minutes of trying, but I finally beat the stage and got the platinum. Thanks for the video!

[@AbyxGaming]

Wow! That's a first for having a music verified channel commenting here. Glad to help! :)

[@samstratten1331]

The biggest problem with these sorts of things is they come at a time when you’re pretty much done with the game. They require so much repetition that you’re left feeling so burnt out and done with the game. This is the last thing I need to do to get the platinum and the memory of all the good stuff in the game is all but erased by this level. It’s poor game design in my opinion.

[@Ollie_NL]

Agree, if there wasn't a platinum trophy I would have uninstalled 53 goes ago

[@noahrichardson1504]

I commented basically the same thing and people are not having it 😂 I’m so with you though

[@buflen]

How is a very difficult optional post game challenge "poor game design". Nothing forces you to play it if it's not fun for you, nothing forces you to plat the game. If it ruins the game for you, it's not a game issue, its a you issue. A lot of people likes to get their skills pushed to the limit and platformers have done this for decades. The hardest challenges were the best part for me in astro bot. Personally there are many games that I love that I'd never 100% because of tediousness, doesn't make me like them less.

[@noahrichardson1504]

@@buflen dawg this game is made for kids. You want a challenge so bad go play Elden ring or something. And if it was optional it would tell me I have 100% progressed the game in the PlayStation hub after completing all normal levels. Just like it tells me I have 100% completed spider man 2 even though I have only mainlined the story. I’m not one of the platinum grinding goons. It’s like the “secret” levels in Mario. They’re meant to be played. And those are very challenging. But still proportionate to the rest of the game. This and some of the lost levels are COMPLETELY disproportionate to the rest . That’s why it’s poor design

[@tetsuoshima7385]

The game design is exemplary. Your skillset appears not so much.

[@tool_army]

This video was instrumental for me to beat this level!!! Thank you! I love the resting points and especially the suggestion on the lanes at the end.

This might have looked easy, but it was easily 8-10 hours (I suck at platforming). Congrats on beating this and getting the Platinum!

Done at last! This video was so helpful. Your endgame strategy with those bloody birds helped a ton. I eventually realised that aligning with a gap between birds while skating the lanes you recommended was the best way to clear a single jump over them from triangle onwards.

Congratulations on completing it! Glad to help!

[@planeking1]

My man i don't think i wouldve got the plat trophy without this video so thank you.

[@miyazakisimping]

For the part with the chickens, I would suggest double jumping. You have way more control, did it first try when I switched from simple jumps.

[@TolgAkpinar]

Thanks a lot man. I knew what kind of a challenge was waiting for me so I decided to watch some videos before engaging. And your video helped a lot. I passed it within 10 mins after just a few tries.

[@Smile_2021_pls]

This was my last achievement that I needed for platinum and this tutorial rlly helped me with the bird but at the end TYSM 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@Scorched_Ivory]

For completing the stage, you get a ps1 astro bot costume and a ps1 paint job for the controller. Im a trophy hunter, so this was a fun side challenge. Had a great time with it :) Thankfully, it only took a handful of tries. If you are struggling, i recommend skipping most platforms and enemies by taking shortcuts and adding a spin into your jumps, which extends air time by a little bit

[@mikeforeman3324]

FINALLY beaten it. such a relief. i can get pretty far no problem but the cannons were a pain.

Same. Final did it. I just had to stay calm and not worry about the endless dying. Trust yourself and not rage.

[@bertt646]

Nice tips, though I think the jump back at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="100">1:40</a> is unnecessary. The enemy never attacks fast enough so you should be able to do it without stopping from what I remember. The bit at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="115">1:55</a> is the most crucial tip of the run too imo. You don't mention it specifically when you do it, but skipping the X platform for the flamethrower makes this so much easier!

[@AbyxGaming]

Thanks! I am very curious on how everyone else did that 1:40 part because I swear that's the only way I could consistently do it without the enemy hitting me every time. Yeah! I figured jumping to that X platform would be a nightmare, so that made sense!

[@andrelucas8950]

Start spin attacking on the way up the first ramp, keep it going through all the blobs. Works every time, run straight through - no need for the extra jump.

[@khr1395]

Yeah the entire time I was doing this level I never had to dodge an attack from that enemy, I just immediately started running up and got to him before he could attack at all

[@bendthe15th]

yup!! that chameleon was really tough until i figured i could skip the triangle and go straight to the circle lol! i posted a vid on how i did it too, but wasnt a proper tutorial like this one (w commentary n all)

[@BlazeLs-je7yo]

This shit is beyond difficult. It took me at least 2 or 3 hours of just trying it over and over and over for me to finally beat it. Each time I would get a section of it down, I would come to the next section and have to do that 100 times to figure out the timing of it.

[@pushistayaovechka]

After days of trying, I gave up on this level. I'm literally shaking while playing it. First half is super easy, but that damn second spinning enemy is always killing me. I got to the birds only for a few times and they still get me, even tho I'm sure I jump at the right moment. Tried jump over the edge, didn't help. Too sad that this level is the last thing you see in the game, kinda ruins the experience. ☹

[@pushistayaovechka]

I guess the secret here is whining because after writing this comment I tried for a few more times and managed to beat it 🗿🗿🗿 Tho I'm sure I just got lucky, I didn't stop or think, just run forward. But honestly, this level is a pure nightmare anyway.

I mean... I've found that sometimes its the most challenging levels that hold some of our greatest gaming memories. The easy stuff gets easily forgotten. But the levels we had to really work for to beat? Those feel earned, and those levels and battles stay with us, often becoming cherished gaming memories.

[@noahrichardson1504]

@@OtterloopB you have a point to a degree. This just feels so out of place in comparison to the rest of the game. Even the lost void levels are nowhere near the level of difficulty as this. I get it’s the final mission and there should be some challenge to it, but it’s meant mainly for kids and not supposed to be this extreme challenge you have to grind through to feel some sort of accomplishment. The joy and what I will remember ab the game is its atmosphere, level designs( apart from this one lol), music, and the cameos.

[@Mozartkugel]

Splashing Sprint is twice as hard. This one here was actually easy.

[@Galactic613]

Is this your first platformer? Most of them will have an end game challenge level for those wanting a much harder challenge regardless of the rest of the game’s difficulty/feel.

[@noahrichardson1504]

@@Galactic613 nope. Avid Mario player. Not claiming it’s too difficult to beat. Simply claiming its difficulty is disproportionate to the entire rest of the game. Mario has plenty of challenging levels that are not at the end. And you get almost like a build up of difficulty towards the end, and then of course the end challenge levels like the badge one in Mario wonder. Seriously Astro bot as a whole is a freaking cake walk and unfortunately instead of ending the game with me smiling and like “aw that was cute” I ended up finishing the game a little annoyed

[@thegreatdoctordank5559]

This seems to be staple in most platformers in general. Super Mario World had the special star level. This is nowhere as challenging as the special levels in Mario Wonder. Both games I referenced were easy but had challenging bonuses level after game completion. Don’t get too frustrated, take a break and you will eventually get it and feel rewarded.

Hey, I'm not complaining It's not like I didn't keep trying to beat it.

Splshing Sprint took me 12 tries to beat. This took me 35. I hate when games expect perfection from you to beat a level, but their mechanics in game are nowhere near perfect. Also, the jump @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a> is unnecessary. Just immediately head to the ramp after landing on the ice. You'll be faster than the slime enemy and can defeat it before it shoots.

[@zomg51]

Currently on 200+ tries I just can’t, the way that the purple blobs shoot is unfair and the 3d nature of the game has my depth of field out of whack. Maybe one day.

[@msgebster]

I did it in about 2 hrs. My own advice for you is to just go slow and learn the patterns and form your own route. And also on the last bird section what made me die there every single time was me rushing because i tought if i stay too much on the ice it would break. So just go slow and time your jump. If you think you need one more cycle just wait 1 second on the ice and it will not break then do the jump. The moment i slowed down on the ice on 3rd attempt there i got it. Hope you manage to do it

Personally I thought To The Beat was harder. That level is all timing, which for me was difficult. Master Challenge is skill, and I found it to be easier. Don't get me wrong. Both are hard. But I took hundreds of deaths over two days on To The Beat, while The Master Challenge took one sitting. Maybe 45 minutes.

[@KaiSchSp]

Not a fan of this as the final challenge. After like the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="92">1:32</a> mark I did it all on my first try. It ran out of steam super quickly. I think the reason why some struggle so much is that most of the level is movie in a straight line in the z-axis. Depth perception is super difficult here when you got huge gaps between floating platforms without depth. Super Mario Galaxy 2s final level is still the king of endgame platforming challenges imo. That one felt like an Odyssey.

[@NASCAR_NEAL]

This ruined the entire game

[@randomfools808]

The level design on the spinning spike on the X before the birds is awful because of the camera. I must have been able to get to that easily around 60 times today. Try resting at that second purple block right before it but as soon as you get on, you have to have the right speed to get over it and then after while the ice is falling, you have to readjust the camera towards the green triangle at full speed. Its the worst jump in the game followed by that X right before the birds area. Even here slowed down, you are on the edge of the platform leading towards the triangle. It readjusts after but just getting past it to the birds is not worth the stress. There could have been a checkpoint right on that green triangle and it wouldnt have hurt the challenge at all because of how long this is. Ive spent hours just getting to that green triangle and the few times that Ive made it to the birds. Thats not a challenge, thats stupid. If I can perfect the rest up until that and do it faster then this then there is something wrong with the design in that area. Its too stressful having to do it over again just to have to fight that everytime. The rise in blood pressure to complete this will not be worth the challenge.
