Knowhere

See **Knowhere** at *Marvel Database*.

**Knowhere** is an independent spaceport on the edge of the known universe in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. The station was built inside the giant head of a Celestial in close proximity to The Rift, and is a port where various species, travellers, misfits, smugglers and more meet. Locals are called "Knowbodies".

## Characteristics

Points of interest include: Seer's Square, Mantlo's Bar, Cosmo Tower, the Continuum Cortex, Collector's Emporium, Knowhere Lottery machines, the Spirit Tree, etc.

The place has wormhole waste receptacle for keeping Knowhere clean (and warn not to stick appendages in the can) and art commissioned by the Tivan Group, such as "Deft Hands".

## Gameplay

Knowhere plays a major role in the story, appearing in Chapter 6: Between a Rock and a Hard Place, Chapter 7: Canine Confusion, and Chapter 12: Knowhere To Run. During Chapter 6, it serves as a hub for the players to simply explore, although a boss fight will occur; later on, it is overrun by the Universal Church of Truth and becomes a battleground for the team to navigate.

Many a Galactic Compendium entry can be unlocked here. Of note are the missable Lipless and Skrat entries, and the miscellaneous items that can be purchased by spending units.

Regarding archives, players can find Overhead, three Egghead Reviews, "Nothing", Reply: Missing Persons Report, Investigating the Hand, Knowhere Safe, Work-Related Death Report and A Prophetic Convergence. One can also obtain two Collectible items here, the Collector's Emporium Doll and Glarnot Mask. Peter can find the following costumes: Peter's Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) outfit, Thanos Imperative, The Smuggler, Impaler, Casual Kill and Apocalypse-Lord.

KNOWHERE
The last spaceport on the edge of the known universe, Knowhere drifts precariously along the edge of the Rift.

Long before it was a bustling city, it was a nameless research station built inside the gigantic, severed head of one of the godlike Celestials. Research quickly turned to profit as various illegal mining operations set up to harvest the potent brain matter. The commercial side of Knowhere sprang up to feed and service the researchers-turned-miners. Food supplies became a plethora of market kiosks, offering cuisine from every corner of the galaxy. Shelters became brothels and bars. Many soon traded their mining tools for untraceable firearms as they moved toward back-alley deals, assassination contracts, and smuggling operations.

The station's head of security, Cosmo, maintains a loose kind of order, keeping the various criminal factions from tearing the place apart, while allowing them their questionable operations so businesses can continue. Knowhere sits outside the jurisdiction of Nova Corps and remains neutral in galactic conflicts.

Hangin' Tough

"**Hangin' Tough**" by New Kids On The Block is a licensed song that appears in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy* via the Huddle mechanic. It originally is from the album album of the same name, released in 1988.

## Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [*x4*]
Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance
Just get on the floor and do the new kids' dance
Don't worry 'bout nothin' 'cause it won't take long
We're gonna put you in a trance with a funky song
'Cause you gotta be hangin' tough
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough,
We're rough
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [*x2*]
Everybody's always talkin' 'bout who's on top
Don't cross our path 'cause you're gonna get stomped
We ain't gonna give anybody any slack
And if you try to keep us down we're gonna come right back
And you know we're hangin' tough
[*Chorus*]
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough,
Are you tough enough?
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough,
We're rough
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [*x4*]
Get loose everybody 'cause we're gonna do our thing
'Cause you know it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings
*Chorus*
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Just hangin' tough, oh, hangin' tough
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Just hangin' tough, oh, hangin' tough
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Hangin' tough,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Hangin' tough
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Just hangin' tough
Human

See **Human** at *Marvel Database*.

**Humans**, more often called **Terrans**, are a major race in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. They are the dominant and intelligent species of planet Earth, but have yet to achieve spacefaring capabilities.

## Traits

Humans are terrestrial mammals characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion, manual dexterity, and complex brains. Human biology is considered to be fairly average for sentient standards; however, they also possess a sub-group of individuals known as Mutants (such as Dazzler), who are inherently born with a gene that allows them to develop superpowers.

Humans are know to be able to produce offspring with Spartoi, with Peter Quill as an example, and potentially with Kree. While Nikki Gold's parentage remains a mystery, she suspected Peter to be her father, meaning crossbreeding is possible, if forbidden by Kree purity laws.

A Miracle!

**A Miracle!** is an archive item in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. The author, Ynx Dxllym, speaks of Jxllem's healing by a golden-skinned man of the Universal Church of Truth at the time of the Galactic War.

## Gameplay

Players can find this message in Chapter 1: A Risky Gamble in the Quarantine Zone when they explore the Wrecked Mining Vessel. The final archive to be obtained in this chapter, it can be found after reuniting with both Gamora and Drax. As they continue through the rooms, it can be found next to some metal pipes on top of stacked metal plates.

## Records

A MIRACLE!

YNX DXLLYM

After the Chitauri destroyed our outpost, we journeyed for 15 rotations to reach the Healer. Every night was harder than the next as Jxllem's breathing worsened. We could find nothing medically wrong with him — the Chitauri assault had damaged his mind and he was simply... giving up. After he'd led us through so many battles, we weren't about to let him go out this way.

We found His Church aboard one of its converted mining ships. The line was long, but the excitement was palpable. Each time we advanced, we would hear screams of joy at the front of the crowd. When it was our turn, we approached this gold-skinned miracle worker. I do not have the proper vocabulary to describe him, but it is the closest we have ever been to divinity.The Healer pressed his hands against Jxllem's forehead and whispered to him. Our friend's eyes widened and he took a deep breath for the first time since he fell in battle. Oxxo be praised, he was healed!

Jxllem has been... distant on our return trip, we believe he is simply dealing with his near-death experience. We hope he will be himself once again soon.
Groot/Outfits

The following is a list of **outfits** for Groot in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*.

## Gallery

## Trivia

* Groot's appearance is special is that each outfit completely changes his look. It was a lot of work to remake him each time, but after defining the workflows on the second outfit, the rest was a lot easier to make. The Golden Guardians look was probably the easiest outfit since only the harness is changed.
* The in-game description of the Impaler outfit erroneously mentions that it first appeared in the *Age of Apocalypse* variant cover. Its first appearance was in *Guardians of the Galaxy* #1 (2019). Via Twitter, issue #4 is given as the source.
* While the team's *Age of Apocalypse* looks only appeared on a variant cover for the 2016 event *Apocalypse Wars*, they were chosen because they were very "striking". The team had a lot of fun recreating them, especially Groot's.

Assassin's Ring

An **assassin's ring** is a rare item in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*, bestowed upon veteran members of the Galactic Assassin's Guild.

## Gameplay

The Assassin's Ring is a Collectible item that can be used to begin a conversation with Gamora, to find out more about her personality and her past. This item can be found in Lady Hellbender's Fortress in Chapter 4: The Monster Queen.

If the player sells Groot, this ring can be found in the pen area near a closed cage in the middle of some trash and animal food. If Rocket is sold, the crew will at some point be locked up in Hellbender's vault and Peter Quill can find the ring in there.

## Records

ASSASSIN'S RING
The Galactic Assassin's Guild ring, granted only to members with at least fifty kills on their record, is as deadly as those who wear it. It is lined with tiny compartments that can produce spikes with various pre-loaded poisons, each designed to have maximum destructive impact on a specific race. A simple brush across the back of the neck is enough to kill most targets. The ring responds to motion, specifically hand gestures that the assassin can set before the mission. It also allows one preset suicide gesture, which will inject every poison into the wielder's finger. The Guild recommends choosing a gesture that cannot accidentally be recreated through normal activity.
Lethal Legion

See **Lethal Legion** at *Marvel Database*.

The **Lethal Legion** is one of the factions in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. Theis mercenary legion is a potential threat for the Guardians of the Galaxy with their leader Glah-Ree.

## Gameplay

## Records

LETHAL LEGION
The Lethal Legion is a band of super-powered mercenaries operating from Knowhere's eclectic spaceport. They are led by Glah-ree, a disgraced Kree soldier who now calls himself Captain Glory. Eager to claim the highest paying contracts and conquer the most intimidating challenges, the Lethal Legion takes on high-profile bounty-hunting jobs that most would deem suicidal. As a result, the roster is constantly in flux as its members are frequently killed off. The seemingly invincible twins calling themselves "The Blood Brothers" maintain their spot on the team, but former members include many notorious criminals, including Metal Master, Mentacle, Drall, and Ferene.

As of late, the Lethal Legion has been working jobs primarily for the Monster Queen of Seknarf Nine.

Dweller-in-Darkness

See **Dweller-in-Darkness** at *Marvel Database*.

The **Dweller-in-Darkness** is a supporting character and enemy in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. Some of the tentacles can be spotted before, when the Guardians of the Galaxy are trying to find their way through the jungle on Seknarf Nine.

## Gameplay

Players receive the "Squid Kicker" trophy after the defeat of this monster.

## Records

DWELLER-IN-DARKNESS
In the deepest reaches of Lady Hellbender's fortress lies the Dweller-in-Darkness, believed to be a dimensional traveler from Everinnye. Worshipped as a monster God by Seknarf Nine's former ruling priests, Lady Hellbender added the creature to her menagerie following her bloody ascension to the throne.

Mystics believe the Dweller to be a hyper-intelligent entity, though the mutilation required to squeeze into this dimension has left it wounded and confused. Further abuse by Seknarf Nine's former priests rendered it feral, but it thrives under Lady Hellbender's care. It has regrown several tentacles and has started warping reality to send its feelers out into the wild.

First appeared in Thor #229 (1974)

If Anyone Finds This...

**If Anyone Finds This...** is an archive item in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. It is one of four messages left by Maintenance Chief Dugar, the others being Elevator A23, Memo: Suit Protocol and Knowhere Safe, regarding his first encounter with The Promise.

## Gameplay

Peter Quill can find this text in Chapter 5: Due or Die. After defeating converted Nova Corps in a hallway, the archive can be found in a blue server room on the ground.

## Records

IF ANYONE FINDS THIS...

MAINTENANCE CHIEF DUGAR

There's something flarkin' weird going on.

At first, I thought the Corpsmen were messing with me. They like to do that. Mess with me. I get at least four prank service calls a week.

But now I'm not so sure.

They keep talking about some "Matriarch" and a "Promise." Whatever the flark that is.

And then that d'ast idiot, Centurion Vikar, attacked me! He shot AT me!

WE'RE ON THE SAME SIDE, DUMBSCUT!

It was like he had brain parasites. I warned them about that bar on Knowhere...

I managed to escape into the service tunnels. I tapped into the comms, hoping to reach management, and it's also filled with Promise this and Matriarch that.

And of course, I can't get a hold of the Worldmind. As per usual--

Scut. I can hear them. I gotta keep moving.

If anyone finds this...

Tell my wife I want a divorce.
Alpha Herculis system

**Alpha Herculis** is a star system in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. It is located in the Keystone Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy, which also encompasses the Elidra system and Halfworld.

## Trivia

* This star system, known for being on the constellation of Hercules, being chosen as the last battle against the Universal Church of Truth could be a reference to *Guardians of the Galaxy* #15 (1991). In the story, the original Guardians fight a childlike ruler of the Church on Homeworld—the equivalent of Sacrosanct—in the Hercules System.
Enemy

An **enemy** is a non-playable hostile foe that a player must defeat and a common gameplay element in many video games. In *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*, they come in clusters making Guardian teamwork a necessity.

## Overview

Enemies come in many sizes and shapes, but all of them have a visible Health Bar in read above their heads, indicating how much life they have. Some have multiple Health Bars, which are indicated by Health Markers (a small skull icon along with a multiplier) above the gauge. When a bar is depleted, the Marker vanished, revealing the next, and when all Markers are gone, the enemy's last Health Bar appears.

Certain enemies, mostly the larger and more challenging ones, have a Stagger Bar placed below their Health meter. Enemies with a Stagger Bar are more resistant to damage, taking little to none unless it is filled up. When an enemy is staggered, they will be momentarily crippled while their Stagger Bar flickers. At that point, players should unleash the team's Abilities via Guardians Mode. All Guardians have at least one Ability that deals Stagger damage, but Drax is the one who specializes in dealing this type of damage. Using an element that the enemy is weak to can also stagger them.

All enemies can be analyzed via the Visor's Tactical Scan feature, should the optional Perk be crafted. Scanning an enemy provides clues as to how to defeat them; while doing so, time slows down.

Blade of Ichor

See **Ichors** at *Marvel Database*.

The **Blade of Ichor** is a minor item in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy* that once belonged to Aldrif Odinsdottir, or "Angela" for short.

## Gameplay

This item can be found in the Collector's Emporium, which can be visited during Chapter 6: Between a Rock and a Hard Place if the player acquires an entrance ticket.

## Records

BLADE OF ICHOR
Perhaps "Blades of Ichor" is a more appropriate descriptor since this divine weapon can be divided or reconfigured into multiple lethal instruments due to its divine liquid-metal core. Before I was able to procure them, they were wielded by an angel from Heven. Or was she an Asgardian? Queen of Hel? One thing is clear: Aldrif Odinsdottir, Angela for short, used the Blades of Ichor to sever countless limbs from sinners and heathens across galaxy. She would not hesitate to claim my own limbs, should she and her weapons be reunited.

## Trivia

* Inspired by the 2015 comic event *Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: Black Vortex*, Gamora's Black Vortex outfit was also one of the team's favorites, with a cape that is "just badass."
* While the team's *Age of Apocalypse* looks only appeared on a variant cover for the 2016 event *Apocalypse Wars*, they were chosen because they were very "striking".

Hala

See **Hala** at *Marvel Database*.

**Hala** is a minor, mentioned-only location and planet in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. It is the home planet of the Kree and other species, such as the Cotati.

## Gameplay

In the game, the planet is mentioned multiple times, but not visited. In the Galactic Compendium, it is mentioned in the Kree and Priests of Pama entries. It is also mentioned in the archive Unthinkable, written by Roth-Denn, as well as Ronan's criminal file in the Nexus.
Guardian Collectible

**Guardian Collectibles** are special items in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy* which trigger conversations and give the players more background information of all the main characters.

## Overview

Collectibles must be picked up during chapter explorations, being usually hidden from view (found in secluded locations, hidden in gaps, or protected by other obstacles), prompting a comment from Peter Quill and a close-up view when grabbing it; one can rotate it for a bit, or put it away by pressing ◯ (PlayStation), ? (Xbox) or F (PC).

After putting it away, a notice pop-up signalling that it is a Collectible will appear shortly afterwards. Whenever the player has some free time aboard the *Milano* to talk to the Guardians, one can go to their quarters and pick up the Collectible. Almost immediately, one of the crew members will have something to say about it. All of these items have a Galactic Compendium entry, which unlock upon triggering the conversation. Each conversation the player has will also affect the post credits of the game.

All characters, including Peter, have three Collectibles each. Players earn the achievement "Managerial Skills" for finding all Collectibles for one Guardian, and "Thoughtful Captain" for finding half of all Guardian Collectibles (that is, eight out of ? items).

Dazda Vandonton

**Dazda Vandonton** is a character who left a messages in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Peter Quill can pick up Dazda's message called Failed to Send Message in The Quarantine Zone. Dazda complains in this text to her sister, that the smuggled creatures from Crackgh II destroyed her ship and she plans to escape the Nova-Corps troops with a shuttle to Knowhere.
Knowhere Lottery

The **Knowhere Lottery** is a gambling system in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. Its participation tickets can be bought throughout the entire galaxy and by Peter Quill on Knowhere itself.

## Records

KNOWHERE LOTTERY TICKET
The chances of winning Knowhere's lottery are astronomical. Using quantum-kiosk technology, tickets are sold across the galaxy, allowing trillions of entries for each draw and making its owners unthinkable profits. However, nobody knows exactly where those profits go. Nova Corps has tried to investigate the operation several times, but always backs down under pressure from Knowhere's security chief, Cosmo.
Huddle

**The Huddle** is a combat mechanic in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy* in which Peter Quill rallies the Guardians whenever they have their backs to the wall, and uses his cassette player to listen to a mixtape of his favorite songs from the 1980s.

## Overview

On bottom right corner of the screen, next to team portraits during combat, the Huddle Gauge can be found. Shaped like a angle bracket, it builds up over time (it fills every time the player uses a Guardian ability) and, once full, the wheel momentarily turns into a "Huddle Ready!" notice depicting Star-Lord's cassette player. The player can press `L1` + `R1` (PlayStation), or `LB` + `RB` (Xbox), or `R` (PC) to activate a Huddle.

During a Huddle, the player is taken out of the battle temporarily, as Drax, Gamora, Rocket and Groot come running towards Peter to say how they feel—ranging from whining, grumbling or snapping at each other to overconfident claims—regarding the current battle before leaping back into the fray. As they speak, the most important key words will appear, faded on the background, as clues for the player, who must choose the correct response.

Regardless of whether the player wins, loses, or says nothing, all Guardians will immediately be resurrected, and a random song will play. There are two outcomes to each Huddle. If the player guess correctly, the whole team will receive a boost to damage, wheareas answering incorrectly means only Peter gets the bonus to damage. The general rule is: If the team seems down, Peter must motivate them; if they appear cocky, ground them; and if they are too excited, bring them back to reality.

Acanti

See **Acanti** at *Marvel Database*.

The **Acanti** are giant, space-whale monsters that appear throughout *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*.

## Gameplay

At the end of Chapter 1: A Risky Gamble, an Acanti who resides in the Quarantine Zone attacks the Guardians. It has a boss cinematic, with a title and Health Bar appearing, but before the player can begin the battle, it is killed by a mysterious shadow.

Later on, during Chapter 3: The Cost of Freedom, multiple Acanti are seen flourishing in Seknarf Nine near Lady Hellbender's Fortress's fortress while the team crosses the bridge. Finally, when the team and Mantis persuade Hellbender to help them fight the Universal Church of Truth during Chapter 14: Into The Fire, she appears with a flock of Acanti and Hellraiser ships.

## Records

ACANTI
Legends about the Acanti say that these giant space whales are spiritual knowledge-seekers who travel the cosmos in search of ancient wisdom and then, upon their impending deaths, hurl themselves into stars so that their souls may pass onto the next Acanti.

These tales certainly do not match the Acanti living on Seknarf Nine under the care of the Monster Queen. But Lady Hellbender has an explanation. She claims her Acanti are rescues, taken from the Brood, who wanted to use them as spacefaring vessels. Her whales had been lobotomized, robbed of their free will. She has returned what she could to them. They fly free and are welcome to leave, should they again seek the stars. Instead, they remain near their savior. Oddly, these creatures known for their peaceful nature fight vigorously to protect their Queen.

Components

**Components** are items in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy that are spread across all the levels in the game. Rocket can use them on a Workbench to improve Peter Quill's Boots, Visor, Suit and Element Guns with Perks.

There are two kinds of components to be found in the game, the Basic Components and Advanced Components. The basic ones look more *cylindrical* and are also more common, while the *spherical*, advanced components, are rather rare.

Most perks will need both types of components, and only a few just need the basic ones. See more here on Perks.

## Locations

Generally speaking, most of the components lie on the way, when Peter and the crew roam through the levels. But like with the collectibles and the outfits, Peter also can find components in hidden locations.

The Hyde Formula was created by Calvin Zabo in an effort to push the Human body to its limits . After he consumed the formula Zabo developed the alternate identity known as Mr Hyde the serum also gave him immense strength allowing Hyde to battle against some of Earths most powerful heroes . Eventually Zabo was imprisoned and the formula was found by the Collector

## Records

HYDE FORMULA
Occasionally, the Terran mind is capable of exceptional brilliance. Take Calvin Zabo, for example. Through chemistry, Zabo believed he could push the human body beyond its accepted limits and created this potent serum. Upon imbibement, his musculature rapidly expanded, enabling his brutish alter ego, "Mr. Hyde," to hold his own against some of Earth's greatest champions. Zabo now wastes away in a Terran prison, but I wasn't going to let his serum go to waste as well.

## Trivia

* Mr. Hyde originally appeared in Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), a novella by author Robert Louis Stevenson.
Battery

**Batteries** are common items in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. They are sources of power with external connections for powering technological devices.

## Gameplay

A Charged Battery is needed by Rocket during Chapter 1: A Risky Gamble when the crew is in the Quarantine Zone. Faith batteries appear starting in Chapter 5: Due or Die onwards, all over places occupied by Universal Church of Truth.
Deep Mine Device

A **deep mine device** is a minor item in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. Of unknown procedure and function, the item serves as a Guardian Collectible.

## Gameplay

The Deep Mine Device is a Guardian Collectible and conversation trigger item for Rocket. Players can find it during Chapter 8: The Matriarch.

## Records

DEEP MINE DEVICE
An ancient technological device unearthed by a deep space mining colony. Their chief scientist, Raker, submitted the artifact to the Galactic Science Committee for study, but they were unable to discern its origin or its function. They did conclude that it was potentially an aerosol delivery system, perhaps even a weapon. They advised Raker to dispose of the device.

One of the GSC researchers dissented and believes it to be a Badoon egg warmer. The Committee denied his request for further study.
Captain America

See **Captain America** at *Marvel Database*.

**Captain America** is a minor cameo character in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. A known hero from Earth, he is the presumed leader of the Avengers and an apparent associate of Jack Flag.

## Gameplay

Captain America doesn't appear in-game other than as a voice during Chapter 7: Canine Confusion, while the Guardians travel the Continuum Cortex in order to teleport to the *Hala's Hope*. He is also referenced in the Galactic Compendium in Jack's entry, who has urged Nova Corps to contact him to verify at least one of his stories.

## Trivia

* Bruno Gauthier-Leblanc came up with the triangles in the Continuum Cortex as windows into other realities. While this game is a different continuity from any of the *Avengers* and *Spider-Man* games, comics, or movies, the team thought it would be cool that in a sense they could be. Originally, the player would get to see what is happening (such as the Avengers in action), but due to production constraints, they had to scope it down and use audio nods.

Drax's Knives

See **Drax's Knives** at *Marvel Database*.

A pair of unnamed **knives** are Drax's weapons of choice in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. They are Katathian in origin.

## Gameplay

Drax's knives cannot be customized, like all of the Guardians' signature weapons with the exception of Peter Quill's Element Guns. Its Galactic Compendium entry is unlocked by default.

## Records

DRAX'S KNIVES
Ancient Katathian blades were usually forged from ultra-dense ore, deep-mined from the planet's nearest moon. Since proper Katathian weapons retain their edges even after hacking through armor or bone, they are often passed down through generations. They are bestowed upon the worthy through austere coming-of-age rituals, creating a solemn, life-long bond between the two.

According to tradition, warriors do not keep the names of their inherited weapons, nor do they rename them. Instead, they discover what the steel wishes to be called through battle. Drax has not yet discovered the names of his blades but is watching for omens and portents. It could be the writing on a wall, the last sound of a dying foe, or a particular pattern of arterial spray.
Chewbacca Toy

A **Chewbacca toy** is an item featured in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. An action figure that once belong to Peter Quill, he gave it to Ko-Rel as a keepsake during the Galactic War.

## Description

The toy is a 1977 Kenner action figure based on the character Chewbacca from the *Star Wars* film series, but without its Bowcaster Rifle accessory.

The figurine appears again later on the Hala's Hope in Ko-Rel's office in Chapter 2: Busted, and in Chapter 7: Canine Confusion when the Guardians return on the Hala's Hope and search Nikki's secret hideout. After claiming it back, it appears on the Milano from then onwards.

## Records

CHEWBACCA TOY
This childhood toy represents a strange brown creature called Chewbacca from a popular entertainment franchise on Earth. Nova Corps Centurion Ko-Rel describes the object in a Hala's Hope possessions report: "A child's toy. No toxic materials or weapon functions. It was the childhood toy of Peter Jason Quill, also known as Star-Lord. His Chitauri captors confiscated it, but for some reason he went back for it, as well as for his other possessions, before escaping. He said it used to have something called a "bowcaster" that was chewed up by an Earth beast called a Kubrick."

## Trivia

* Director Jean-François Dugas explained that the figurine's presence is due to his own childhood, while also serving to immediately ground players across the world in that time period. He was initially told he wouldn't be able to include it, but after a year of working with the people at Marvel, they were given the approval to use the character's likeness in the game.

Continuum Cortex

The **Continuum Cortex** is a location on *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. A heavily guarded point of interest on the Knowhere space station, the Cortex is said to be a portal to other worlds, timelines and dimensions.

## Gameplay

The Guardians of the Galaxy will enter this place with Cosmo's help in Chapter 7: Canine Confusion, after the incidents in Chapter 6: Between a Rock and a Hard Place. Cosmo takes them there, so they can investigate the Hala's Hope and find answers to the recent strange events. Later, the team must free the Cortex from the Universal Church of Truth in Chapter 12: Knowhere To Run.

The Cortex is subject of the archive Investigating the Hand written by Resme Valot.

## Records

THE CONTINUUM CORTEX
Rumors travel fast on the Knowhere station. Speculation about the dead Celestial's remaining power is an old tradition. Whispers suggest that the brain stem has been reactivated to allow travel through space, dimensions, and perhaps even time itself. However, control of the Cortex is strictly protected by the station's security chief, Cosmo, and his loyal pack of security guards.

Everybody's heard from a friend of a friend who claims to have traveled through the Cortex, supposedly riding an enormous five-fingered hand made of pure energy. Some stories speak of quick glimpses of various alternate timelines along the way. Others suggest these are just hallucinations caused by extreme mental stress of hurtling one's particles through space. Cosmo refuses to discuss the matter.
Care of Our Charges

**Care of Our Charges** is an archive item in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. It is a text by Keeper Rutub'Ol, and contains a description of creatures in Lady Hellbender's menagerie, including a Sporknaught and a Pugiluum. His other message is Drones.

## Gameplay

CARE OF OUR CHARGES

KEEPER RUTUB'OL

With so many interesting and largely unknown creatures arriving almost every cycle, I have begun to put together a care and feed newsletter for each section.
Please read it carefully and come to me if you have any questions.

Species: Sporknaught
Diet: Omnivore. Especially enjoys thistles and kittens.
Exercise: Recommend daily walks. Seems to appreciate the area beneath the Salt Flats.
Health: Speciment seems healthy, awaiting bloodwork for confirmation. Bit of a limp in left foreleg.

Species: Pugiluum
Diet: Carnivore. Especially voracious.
Exercise: Drop live prey into cell, and let the delightful creature murder them. It really is fascinating to watch.
Health: Specimen is on the mend after devouring that young Warthos. I had no idea it was such a glutton.

Species: [Undetermined] This creature defies most of what we know. Further study is necessary. It does not appreciate captivity, so be extremely cautious when cleaning out the pen, and during feeding times.
Diet: Unknown. What it refuses one day, it devours the next. Further study is necessary.
Exercise: After three near escapes already, creature is to remain in its pen until a suitable area is built.
Health: Specimen is robust, almost frighteningly so.

Species: Flora Colossus
Diet: Herbivore? Would that make it a cannibal? Suggest starting with Yaro Root, with molasses.
Exercise: Supervised exercise time in walled-in garden.
Health: Specimen is slightly malnourished. Covered in several scars and healed wounds, but in overall good health. Seems lonely, suggest finding creature small animal companion.

Kammy

**Kammy** is an original supporting character in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. A wooly, purple and elusive creature found in the Quarantine Zone, the Guardians end up taking the "space llama" with them as they escape from a mysterious creature.

## Gameplay

Kammy is found at the end of Chapter 1: A Risky Gamble, and Gamora warns the others it might be a potential health and security risk, and a level 2 biohazard. In Chapter 2: Busted, the player has two options: to hide the llama or Rocket's crate of illegal tech. As it is indeed a biohazard, its discovery by Nova Corps will result in 9,000 ₳ fine (whereas the tech will be only 7,000 ₳).

Kammy is relevant again in Chapter 10: Test of Faith, when Drax falls for the Promise and locks everyone inside their rooms. If Peter decided to hide Kammy earlier, he discovers that the llama gnawed a way into his quarters, and uses it to leave and free the others. On the other hand, if he chose to hide the tech instead, Peter must sing with the rest of the trapped crew to guide Kammy in the right direction, and bite some cables to open the doors.

The trophy "Llama Wrangler" is obtained the player captures it in Chapter 1.

## Records

GALAXIUS OMNIPACUS
The crew of Hala's Hope, a Nova Corps vessel, has reported many encounters with unusual creature thriving inside the war wreckage of the Quarantine Zone. While most appear to be primitive parasites feeding on the remains of crew rations or fuel leakage, there's one bizarre creature that yet eludes Nova Corps. Those who have caught a glimpse of it claim it is far too fast to track and appears to vanish when cornered. While the best has yet to attack any Corpsman like the other Quarantine Zone inhabitants do, it has generated anxiety and superstition among the crew. Some have called it a ghost of the Galactic War.

Nova Corps Denarian Kar-Los reported jagged bitemarks in solid steel, as well as chewed wires. He claims to have heard spinechilling, awful sounds that kept him from sleeping for several cycles.

## Trivia

* Kammy is voiced by Robert Montcalm, who also voices Groot and the Xandarian Worldmind in the game.
* Kammy can be seen floating in space on the upper left corner of the screen during the Final Boss fight. She can be spotted when the Guardians "claps" at Magus, and when Magus sends a planet to crash onto the party the second time.
* According to Director Jean-Francois Dugas, when they first started working on the game, they needed a proof of concept; they had settled on the basic gameplay idea but needed to define the mechanics and find their own flavor for the team, but there was no story. So, they built a storyboard purely for the PoC in which the Guardians' mission is to save a kid from some bad guys, but the 'kid' would turn out to be a baby goat. They loved the idea so much they repurposed it for the final game, which inspired Kammy's creation.

FAILED TO SEND MESSAGE

DAZDA VANDONTON

Got some real bad news for you, sis. Them critters you had me smuggle off of Crackgh II? You didn't tell me they bred like Seknarfian mudhogs. I got a cargo bay full of the ugly flarkers and they grew up FAST. I can hear them banging on the walls and shrieking something fierce. Probably hungry. When I saw my fuel was leaking, I put two and two together and realized they're chewing up my fuel lines.

To make it worse, I gotta fly right through a Nova Creeps blockade. I ain't got no way to hide them things, so I'm thinking about scuttling this old heap and taking my shuttle to Knowhere. Expect a bill for a new ship soon and we can figure out our next haul. I know you're good for it.

What can I say? Scut happens.
Jet Boots

**Jet Boots** are items in *Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy*. They are one of Peter Quill's equipment items, next to Visor and his Element Guns. These boots can lift Peter up, make him jump higher and help him to fly to higher ground. The boots also can be improved by Rocket with various Boot Perks.
