Astro’s Playroom All Collectible Locations (Artefacts & Puzzle Pieces)

Astro’s Playroom has 142 Collectible Locations (46 Artefacts & 96 Puzzle Pieces). This guide shows you where to find all Collectibles in Astro’s Playroom on PS5. They are needed for several trophies listed below.

None of the Collectibles are missable. You can replay all levels at any time to grab your missing items. There is a built-in progress tracker on PS5 trophies so you can easily keep track how many you found already.

The way the game is structured is that there’s 4 Main World, each containing 4 Levels. Each World has 9 Artefacts (4×9 = 36) and the remaining 10 come from the Gatcha Machine in PS Labo. That’s your “trophy room”, a sort of hub world. To use the machine you need to put in the coins you find throughout the game. There are also 16 puzzle pieces per world (4×16 =64 pieces), another 4 pieces in CPU Plaza (hub world) and another 28 from the Gatcha Machine at PS Labo. What this means for you is that only 104 Collectibles are actually ‘found’ in the world and 38 come as rewards from the Gatcha Machine.

Trophies unlocked from Collectibles:

• In Mint Condition 
• Such a Big Fan! 
• Charted! 
• Welcome to the Third Place 
• … And Conquered Worlds 
• Dude Raider 
• One Down, Lots More to Go! 
• Cool Hoarder 
• The Found Legacy 
• Omega Booster! 
• Ico-nic 
• A Grand Tour! 

This Astro’s Playroom Collectible Guide lists everything in chronological order (all Artefacts and Puzzle Pieces in one playthrough).

PlayStation Labo

10 Artifacts, 28 Puzzle Pieces

The items in the Playstation Labo area are obtained by using the Gatcha Machine at the back of the area, where you spend 100 coins at a time to get a random item from the machine, which includes some specific Gatcha prizes as well as these Artifacts and Puzzle Pieces. There isn’t a specific way to get these items only, you just have to keep rolling until you get them. If you want an idea of what each Gatcha ball gives, puzzle pieces are obvious, silver balls are the Gatcha Prizes, and the gold balls are the Artifacts. If you need more coins you can go replay levels you’ve already completed, grabbing the Puzzle Pieces and Artifacts again because those give a large number of coins when you obtained them again.
