To fully enjoy the collectibles aspect of PlayStation Labo in Astro’s Playroom, follow this comprehensive guide on unlocking all artifacts and puzzle pieces via the gatcha machine.

Understanding PlayStation Labo
– PlayStation Labo is a unique area within Astro’s Playroom designed specifically for collecting PlayStation artifacts and puzzle pieces.
– Unlike Nintendo Labo, it focuses on the history and hardware of PlayStation, providing a nostalgic experience for fans.

Collecting Artifacts and Puzzle Pieces
– Artifacts: These represent various PlayStation hardware items, with a total of 17 artifacts available through the gatcha machine. Notable artifacts include the PSP Camera, PSPgo, PSone, PS3 Slim, and PS4 Pro.
– Puzzle Pieces: There are 28 puzzle pieces that contribute to completing murals depicting iconic PlayStation consoles, adding another layer of collectibility.

Using the Gatcha Machine
To utilize the gatcha machine effectively, follow these steps:

1. Location: The gatcha machine is situated at the opposite end of the PlayStation Labo room. Keep an eye out for its distinctive design.

2. Cost: Each pull from the gatcha machine costs 100 coins.

3. Coin Collection:
– Gather coins by defeating enemies and breaking open crates throughout the main campaign levels.
– Aim for the total of 3,800 coins to unlock all 28 puzzle pieces and 17 artifacts. This doesn’t account for additional collectibles that may also be available from the machine.

Special Considerations
– Free Pulls: Initially, you will receive four free coin canisters. These allow you to make four pulls on the gatcha machine without using your earned coins.

– Soda Cans: Occasionally, you may receive a soda can instead of a collectible. Keep in mind that these cans do not count towards your collectible goals.

– New Artifacts and DLC: Game updates may introduce new artifacts. Some of these may be linked to downloadable content (DLC) or new versions of the game, so it’s worth checking periodically for new additions.

Astro Bot vs. Astro’s Playroom
– It’s crucial to note that Astro’s Playroom is the game containing the PlayStation Labo, whereas Astro Bot has a different focus and lacks the collectible gatcha system and Labo area.

Conclusion
By honing your skills in collecting coins, utilizing the gatcha machine wisely, and staying alert for updates, you can unlock all the artifacts and puzzle pieces in the PlayStation Labo area of Astro’s Playroom. Enjoy your nostalgic journey through PlayStation history!
