Who are the Legendary Explorers in Astro Bot?

So, the first thing you'll need to do before you can collect this trophy in Astro Bot is to actually unlock Photo Mode and also rescue two special VIP Bots: Lara Croft (Aristocratic Archaeologist) from the Tomb Raider series and Nathan Drake (Raider Dude) from Uncharted.

  • To unlock photo mode in Astro Bot, you must first build the Safari Park at the Crash Site by collecting 65 Puzzle Pieces from the various planets.
  • To find the Lara Croft Bot, you must rescue her from the Hieroglitch Pyramid level in the Camo Cosmos system (she's the third Bot).
  • To find the Nathan Drake Bot, you must defeat the Lady Venomara boss in the Serpent Starway system.

How to Take a Photo of the Legendary Explorers at Crash Site in Astro Bot

Lara Croft and Nathan Drake Locations at Crash Site

If you look at the group of bots to the left of the Dual Speeder Garage, you'll see the Nathan Drake bot sitting on a couch and playing the PlayStation 1. And you can find the Lara Croft bot running away from a dinosaur in a repeating loop around the giant PS5 spaceship in the middle of the Crash Site.

In order to get the trophy, you must snap a photo (up on the d-pad) with both of them in the frame. We managed to do this by going over to where Drake is and then hitting the Triangle button to call the Bots. Wait until Lara passes by, and you should be able to make it so that she ends up close to Drake. Get the photo mode ready and keep snapping pictures until the trophy pops.

Some players report that you can get the picture to work if you just wait for Lara to pass by in the distance (without calling the Bots). But feel free to use whatever method works best for your trophy hunt.
