Astro Bot – How to capture a photo of two legendary explorers

Where are they?

One of the many secret trophies in Astro Bot has you trying to put two specific Bots next to each other, so you can take a photo of them together.

The Trophy, Thick as Thieves, wants you to capture a photo of two legendary explorers—without telling you who those explorers are or how to take a photo. You don’t snap the share button for this one; instead, you need to meet specific requirements to get the job done.

The two Bots you’re looking for are Lara Croft and Nathan Drake in Astro Bot. Both are found in specific levels; while one is easy to find, the other isn’t.

Nathan Drake is given to you for beating the third world’s major boss, Lady Venomara. You don’t need to do anything extra here; as soon as you beat the boss, you get the first of the two Bots you need to complete the task.

As for the Lara Croft Bot, she is located in the Hieroglitch Pyramid level in Camo Cosmos. She’s one of the hidden Bots in the area, and you’ll need to continue through the level until you enter a sidescrolling portion with stones that drop. At the very end of the tunnel is a blue X mark you can spin-attack down.

Lara Croft is here, but you can’t run and get her. You need to tiptoe in her direction to snag her, because if you run, you’ll wake up the blocks above you, and they instantly kill you.

Before taking a picture, you first need to unlock the camera by collecting Puzzle Pieces throughout multiple worlds.

You unlock the camera when you get to the Safari Park building, which you can find at the Crash Site. It’s the fourth building you unlock while collecting Puzzle Pieces, and if you collect every Puzzle Piece, it’ll take until the third world to get enough to unlock it.

When you have the camera and the two Bots, you can press the Triangle button to summon every Bot to your location, and then quickly take a photo. Chances are you’ll get both of them in the shot first try, and won’t need to overcomplicate things. It sometimes doesn’t work, though, so try and get both of them to stand next to each other when you can.
