10 Best Astro Bot Video Game References & Easter Eggs
Astro Bot has plenty of references to first and third-party PlayStation properties, with some of them going above and beyond to service fans.
Wako Tako can be found onWako Tako Planet. When you get past the first island in this level, you’ll reach Wako Tako’s boss battle arena. Wako Tako is a two-stage boss battle that begins with Wako Tako towering over you, ready to punch you through the ground. This battle is shockinglysimilar to the Lady Luctopus boss battleinPsychonauts 2, so if you’ve played through that game, you may have an edge over other players.
You’ll need to have rescued at least sixty Bots before you can go to Wako Tako Planet.
Both boss battles involve towering octopus bosses who drop heavy attacks from above. While in this phase, you’ll need toattack Wako Tako’s glovesafter they land. Eventually, you’ll stun Wako Tako and have the change toslingshot yourself into its facewith your Frog Gloves. When it’s knocked out,attack the sides of its head. This will eventually lead you to the second stage of the fight, where you’ll chase Wako Tako through a small platforming section.
The second battle arena is smaller, which can make it hard to dodge Wako Tako’s Urchin Rain attacks. Dodge them as best they can, waiting until Wako Tako puts its eye close to the ground. When this happens,attack its eyes. You’ll eventually pull out the octopus' eyes and complete the boss battle, rescuing Boy and Dad Of Boy while progressing toBot of War, one of the coolest levels inAstro Bot.
