Where Are the Resident Evil Characters in Astro Bot?

Astro Bot contains characters based on a range of PlayStation franchises, including the Resident Evil series. However, while most franchises represented in the game can usually be found in a single level, the Resident Evil cast are scattered across multiple levels, including some secret ones.

Where to Find Chris Redfield (Alpha Male)

Chris is one of the easier Resident Evil characters to find in Astro Bot, as his level is one of the main story levels. You can find him in Spooky Time, which can be found in the Camo Cosmos galaxy.

After you’ve passed a group of ghosts throwing knives around, which you have to slow time to get past, you’ll fight some enemies in a graveyard. Once they’re defeated, turn left to see a wooden pier and some candles. Blow into the DualSense to extinguish the candles, and you can hop over to a platform where Chris is waiting.

Where to Find Jill Valentine (Alpha Female)

Like Chris, Jill can also be found in the Spooky Time level of Astro Bot. Carry on through the level until you pass a path with a brick structure occasionally slamming down. You’ll reach a void with invisible platforms that need a lightbulb to see. Look slightly right and you’ll see an isolated platform covered in graves. Pull a light out of the ground, advance along the platforms then after the route has turned right, turn right again and you’ll spot a route to the grave platform. There’s a portal in the graves, so jump down.

In this next area, you have to navigate a series of platforms in a dark space. The route is straightforward, just time the stopwatch for when the lightning flashes to see the platforms and slow down their movement. After crossing two gaps, you’ll find the master of unlocking herself.

Where to Find Leon Kennedy (Rookie Cop)

The Resident Evil 2 characters are where things get trickier, as they require digging into some of the secrets of Astro Bot. In order to find both Leon and Claire, you’ll need to unlock a series of levels associated with the Lost Triangle Void.

When you’re moving around the space map, keep an eye on what’s going on outside the levels, as sometimes you’ll notice asteroids floating around. If you see asteroids in the top left of the Tentacle System, boost into them and you’ll reveal a cluster of stardust forming a circle. Boost through the middle of this to reveal a satellite bot, which can also be boosted into to reveal the Lost Triangle Void. This short level will cause more levels to open on the map, including two containing Resident Evil characters.

For Leon, you’ll need to head to the level Cut ‘N Grind. This is a challenge level which presents Leon to you at the start, but as soon as you walk towards him, he gets picked up and flown away. For this level, you’ll need to traverse a series of platforms with buzzsaw enemies before jumping through a series of grind rails without hitting some mines in between. It’s short and not too difficult, and at the end you’ll be able to free Leon.

Where to Find Claire Redfield (Motorcycle Enthusiast)

Just like Leon, you’ll need to unlock the challenge levels from the Lost Triangle Void to find Claire. She can be found in the Pumpkin Peril level. As with all these levels, you’ll see Claire at the start before she gets whisked away to the end, requiring you to complete a platforming challenge.

This challenge isn’t too bad, as the platforms are mostly stable. The real challenge comes from avoiding enemy projectiles while you jump, and the final stretch where you have to traverse some long rotating platforms. Reach the end and you’ll be able to grab Claire, giving you the last of the Resident Evil characters in Astro Bot.

Astro Bot is out now for PS5.
