As a seasoned Astro Bot adventurer with countless hours under my belt, I can confidently say that navigating through the ancient ruins of “Trapped in Time” is a thrilling journey indeed! The level’s design, inspired by the theme of being trapped in timeless ruins, adds an extra layer of immersion to the gameplay experience.
In the Serpent Starway nebula, you’ll find one of the stages named “Ensnared in Time.” True to its name, this level is reminiscent of a barren, desert landscape dotted with crumbling antiquities and pyramids. The ambiance reflects a sense of being immersed in timeless ruins, as if you’re stuck in a bygone era.
In this Astro Bot stage, gathering all three Puzzle Pieces proves more challenging compared to previous stages. However, on a positive note, there are just three puzzles to solve.
Our guide will help you navigate tricky areas to locate all the pieces.
Where To Find All Trapped in Time Puzzle Pieces
In an unexpected twist, there are only three puzzle pieces to discover, and their locations are not immediately obvious. The first piece can be found prior to starting the level, while the second one lies just beyond the entrance. Interestingly, the third piece is placed right before exiting back outside. Here’s a more comprehensive guide on uncovering these hidden gems:
Trapped in Time Puzzle Piece #1
Locating the initial puzzle piece may prove challenging because it is visible before landing within the hourglass. Keep an eye out for a prominent sand dune on your left side as you approach with your DualSense vessel. Upon drawing nearer, a golden serpent will gradually emerge and glide across the dune.
Be mindful not to overlook it: The snake can be quite elusive, so keep a keen eye out for it. Press R2 when you spot the snake and fly directly towards it for maximum impact. You may find it beneficial to deactivate motion controls for enhanced accuracy during flight; aiming becomes simpler without them.
Every time I approach it, I should aim for the elusive puzzle piece that’s attached to the snake-like creature. If it doesn’t detach, keep trying. It seems to materialize right before I land near the hourglass area. I need to swiftly maneuver and grab the puzzle piece before touching ground. Missing the piece won’t be a game over; just a simple restart will allow me another chance.
Trapped in Time Puzzle Piece #2
After shattering the first blue sand timer, draining its contents, and jetpacking your chicken to uncork the bottle, you’ll find the second puzzle piece. Swivel left to uncover a concealed spot beneath a platform that houses a slimy green adversary. Defeat it, then keep pressing and holding the Square button to hoist ropes from below.

This will activate a flower booster that rises into the air like an umbrella. Jump onto the flower booster, and it will carry you upward. Once it reaches its peak, let go and immediately use your rocket ability (R2 or L2) to propel yourself higher with your jetpack. Target the upper part of the platform where the enemy was first seen as you go up. You should now be high enough to glide over and land safely. At the top, you will see a chain of enemies parading around a bottle that requires caution.
Approach each part of the chain cautiously, but retreat when they begin vibrating because they discharge an electric jolt during this phase. Defeat all the adversaries that follow, then position yourself before its entrance and hammer on it repeatedly to shatter it open. Jump into the vacant receptacle once the liquid from the bottle has been depleted, and the next puzzle piece will be ready for collection there.
Trapped in Time Puzzle Piece #3
On my journey through this level’s indoor section, I eventually arrive at a spot adorned with arrows in the walls. Leaping over these embedded projectiles, I find myself inside a room shaped like an hourglass. Nearby, there’s a lever resembling a flower that, when activated, raises platforms teeming with foes. Agilely jumping from platform to platform, I take down the electric enemies with Astro Bot’s laser-equipped feet.
Exercise caution when engaging these foes, for contact can give you quite a jolt. Defeat them to reach a checkpoint. This location is adorned with golden coins and has a transparent floor beneath the enemies. The aim here is to shatter this glass surface, exposing two secure platforms below, which are protected from the harmful slime encompassing them.
Soar above and touch down at one of the platforms. Then, rotate the camera to explore the surrounding area thoroughly. Keep an eye out for the last puzzle piece hidden in a small recess on an adjacent platform. Leap across when you locate it to grab the piece.
