Extras (Asterix & Obelix XXL)

*This page is for additional content in the first entry of the XXL series. For the extras in the 2nd game see Extras (Asterix & Obelix XXL 2).*

In Asterix & Obelix XXL the player can unlock extra content, which are outfits for Asterix and Obelix and Gallery pictures.

## Outfits

The player is rewarded with an outfit whenever they collect all the Laurels in a location. Outfits are selected through the Great Map Menu. They do not affect gameplay. The outfits come in 3 themes for both main characters: legionary uniforms, swimsuits and pirate costumes.

## Gallery

The player can use Helmets to buy humorous pictures in the Gallery, accessible from the Great Map Menu. Every picture is divided into several pieces, and every new piece is more expensive. Many of these pictures show Etranges Libellules members in the game’s world, edited from photos into the pictures. In some pictures the characters are portrayed as actors, and in the 7th picture two Romans are shown as robots with the torso and legs missing.

### Gallery commentary

The 1st picture takes place in the 1st temple of Greece (with a Save Druid). Some unusual Roman soldiers can be seen in the left. Unlike in the actual game, the Romans are not paying attention to Asterix and Obelix who are dressed like them.

The 2nd picture takes place in Normandy. It features more pirate models and includes the canon characters Redbeard (whose model is used for pirate captains), Pegleg (the old pirate) and Baba (the lookout), who also do not appear in the game.

The 3rd picture appears to take place in a non-existent part of Greece, judging by the architecture in the background.

The 4th picture parodies retro videogames Pong, Space Invaders and Tetris. It also could be seen as a prediction for Asterix & Obelix XXL 2, which is full of videogame references.

The 5th picture takes place in the temple of Greece where the player encounters retiarius Romans for the first time. It features female villagers who are not present in the actual game: Bacteria (Unhygienix’s wife), Fulliautomatix's wife and two unnamed women.

The 6th picture takes place in a non-existent part of Rome.

The 7th picture takes place at the frozen lake in Normandy. The robot legionary has an unusual helmet.

The 8th picture takes place in the Gaulish village. All the people are looking at the tall stone with Panacea on top of it holding Dogmatix. There is some mathematical text on the stone.

The 9th picture takes place in the pre-boss area of Helvetia.

The 10th picture takes place in the Gaulish village at midnight where all people are dancing and celebrating. This is the only picture where a missing part is not blacked out (all the ELB members except for Laforest).

The 11th picture takes place in a non-existent part of the Gaulish village.

## Remaster

The remaster does not feature any new extra content.

The outfits and the Gallery are found in the Collection section. The outfits are presented with static images instead of animated models. The Gallery images are slightly rotated and take up little space on sceen.

## Trivia

* Outfits:
	+ The legionary uniforms for Asterix and Obelix do not have shoulder spikes.
	+ Obelix's pirate outfit looks very similar to that of a pirate captain.
	+ The game uses a small portion of outfits that were shown in the concept art, and some looked a bit different in the drawings.
* Gallery:
	+ The Gallery pictures must have been made during beta, judging by the Roman shields in Pictures 1 and 7, a fully modeled place in Rome which is not in the actual game, and Asterix’s red swim shorts.
	+ The wanted posters in the 1st picture use concept art for the main characters’ outfits, more than a half of which are not in the game.
	+ In the PC version, the Gallery pictures are located in the game’s files in the folders Galery1 and Galery2 and can be easily viewed, as they are in PNG format. The folders also contain empty and incomplete variations.
	+ In the PS2 version of XXL, the 11th picture causes the console to freeze upon buying the last piece. This is a game breaking glitch which can't be fixed and makes it impossible to complete the Gallery on PS2.
