How to Take Pictures in Astro Bot (Photo Mode Guide)

There are 44 Trophies in Astro Bot, two of which require players to take pictures of certain things. To do so, they'll need to use Photo Mode, though, unfortunately, Photo Mode isn't available right away. In fact, players won't actually be able to take photos for a fairly significant portion of their playthrough.

Most of the Astro Bot cameo characters are pretty easy to identify, but there are a few VIP Bots who are obscure and thus can be difficult to place.

This is because players will need to unlock Photo Mode in Astro Bot. Thankfully, although certainly time-consuming, the method for doing so is actually relatively straightforward once players know what's expected of them, as too is using Photo Mode to unlock the two aforementioned Trophies.

How to Unlock Photo Mode in Astro Bot

In order to unlock Astro Bot's Photo Mode, players will simply need to build and then visit the Safari Park at the Crash Site, then grab the camera near the entrance. Unlocking the Safari Park will require 64 Puzzle Pieces, which is more than half of the 120 total that are available throughout the game. The earliest that players can unlock Photo Mode is after reaching the Camo Cosmos galaxy.

How to Use Photo Mode in Astro Bot

After unlocking Photo Mode, players will be able to use it by pressing Up on the D-Pad. It's fairly basic when compared to some of the fantastic Photo Modes found in other modern video games, but is still more than capable of doing the job. Players can raise and lower the camera using the left shoulder buttons and take photos by pressing R2.

Which Astro Bot Trophies Require Photo Mode?

As mentioned above, there are two Astro Bot Trophies that require players to use Photo Mode: Strike A Pose! And Thick As Thieves. For the former, they'll need to take a picture at one of the game's many photo spots, while the latter can be unlocked by snapping a photo of Nathan Drake (rescued in the Lady Venomara stage) and Lara Croft (rescued in the Heiroglitch Pyramid stage). Photo spots can be found in various Astro Bot stages, or in the Safari Park.
