In order to find the Special Bot in GPU Jungle, travel to Renderforest. A second message will appear, revealing: "A Special Bot is hidden and trapped in Renderforest. Can you find it and solve the riddle to set it free?"

Head immediately forward and climb to higher ground, then look to the left where the Lady Maria-style Astro Bot is showing off her swordplay skills. In the foliage behind her, punch the grass and a trapped Lady Maria Special Bot will appear in a capsule.

Climb up to the platform where the caterpillars are roaming and destroy them. Then hold down the Square button to attack the plant that sprouts with a spinning move, causing it to grow so you can climb up the CD leaves.

Navigate across the tree tops to the third tree. On the outside you'll see a clock. Push the Options button while standing in front of it and a clock will appear. Input the date 24th November, 2015, which is when Bloodborne: The Old Hunters released. This will free the Lady Maria Special Bot and unlock the Hunted Down Trophy.

SSD Speedway Special Bot Location

Make your way to the level SSD Speedway. You'll be greeted with a message that says a special bot is hidden somewhere in Deep Dataspace.

Travel to this part of the level. Proceed through the stage as normal until you reach the first dynamite enemy.

Head up to where the checkpoint is, and on the raised platform behind the pink plant is a small outcropping. Stand here and look out to space, and the special bot will appear. It's Selene from Returnal! On Selene's capsule is an image of an astronaut.

Pull the nearby wires and open the chest to get the weapon. Proceed through to the next area, taking down all the enemies as they come. When the room fills with green enemies who shoot projectiles at you, stop shooting; you need these guys alive.

Climb past these enemies and carefully reach the top of the walls of this room, which you can walk along. Up here, you'll spot a small astronaut lying on the ground. Stand over it so a blue circle illuminates around it. Wait here for one of the enemies to fire a projectile at you. When one hits you, Astro will be reset to the last checkpoint, and Selene's capsule will open. She's free, and you'll nab the Déjà Phew! Trophy.
