Catch the Golden Butterfly in Astro Bot is one of the things you can do while exploring the Apes on the Loose level in Gorilla Nebula.

Armed with a net, Astro Bot is ready to hunt down and catch the naughty monkeys, but he can also go after that shiny butterfly for the secret Net Profit trophy.

Without further ado, here is how to catch the golden butterfly in Astro Bot.

How to catch the golden butterfly in Astro Bot

To catch the golden butterfly in Astro Bot, you need to find the butterfly, chase it, and catch it with your net. Sounds simple, we know, but this butterfly is surprisingly fast.

Your first task is to find where the golden butterfly is hiding in Apes on the Loose. To do this, continue through the level to get your net, then stop when you reach the area containing the large statue.

Face the statue itself, then move forward around the right side of the statue until you are behind it, with your back to it. You should now be facing a ladder – it leads to a glass bridge with a monkey at the end, but don’t climb it yet.

The golden butterfly is in the bush to the right of this ladder. To free it, simply approach the bush and disturb it: the butterfly will then fly away!

Since the Golden Butterfly is quite fast, we found the easiest way to catch it was to follow its path while running (or rail grinding) next to it along the platform the statue is on. Then, when the butterfly is in range, jump towards it and swing your net with R2 to catch it. This may take a few tries!

Once you catch the golden butterfly, you will get a good amount of coins and unlock the secret trophy “Net Profit”.

We hope you have fun in Astro Bot!
