You can now freeze the jellies! A lot of them appear, but you’ll now be able to freeze them which allows the rest of the team to destroy them. You only need to shoot a jelly once to freeze. Look out for the yellowish jellies they can explode. However you can freeze their remains and have Drax toss them at other enemies. To make it across, stand near the bridge and look on the right to find some brittle material. Destroy it and squeeze through. Have Drax through a boulder through the stinky wall and get to the other side. Mythology Gag: The game contains a large number of references to Marvel Comics history, particularly the cosmic side of the universe. Particularly noteworthy is The Collector's Emporium Gallery, which displays and explains significant items like Frog Thor, the Cosmic Cube and the Book of Cagliostro. The gallery's entries make mention of even more Marvel staples like Galactus and the gods of Asgard. No Item Use for You: The last level starts you off fighting waves and waves of enemies without Peter Quill's casette tapes. Without those, you can't use the Huddle abilities to get a bunch of free uses of the Guardians' special abilities. Great Offscreen War: The game takes place twelve years after the Galactic War and that the Universal Church of Truth is gathering followers by promising to restore everything that was lost during the war.

Sequel Hook: While the game’s story wraps up nicely, there are a few lingering plot lines that are set up. Mostly noticeably, the fact that it’s incredibly likely that Thanos is still alive and plotting his next move, also an optional conversation with Gamora reveals that he’s in league with Lady Death. Shield-Bearing Mook: Several enemies have energy shields that partially or totally encase their bodies and prevent you from doing damage to them. You can break them by either filling up their stun meter or by freezing the shield with Peter's elemental guns.Heaven: Drax tells Peter on Knowhere about the afterlife his people belief in, Ultath, where those who completed good lives go to enjoy rest forever. Peter mentions in the same conversation that he thinks his mom is in Heaven, while Drax continues to happily talk about Ultath whenever a good opportunity for death comes up. With the "huddle-up" mechanic available in each fight, Star-Lord's speech buff the team or leaving them more confused. Make your way down the slope ahead, using the slide and another drop down until you reach the large field filled with round yellow platforms. There are quite a few of these small platforms and we'll need to make our way across them to reach the next area. Unrelated in the Adaptation: Despite the fact that Heather "Moondragon" Douglas exists in this continuity, it seems that she’s not Drax's daughter, as he’s no longer the reincarnation of a human but an alien. Furthermore, this Drax had a wife and daughter whose deaths he still grieves to this day. Moondragon's existence is relegated to a single Novacorp log with no mention of Drax in it. Mundane Utility: Peter can direct his teammates to use their talents in non-combat contexts to overcome obstacles.

You're a valued member of the team". It's almost Quill's Catchphrase throughout the game, which he uses multiple times both in mandatory and optional conversations with the Guardians. It begins as a somewhat awkward reassurance, then largely devolves into a platitude highlighting Peter's flaws as a leader (namely his fear of confrontation and toxic positivity) and towards the end of the game it becomes a genuine shared sentiment of the whole group. Talking Is a Free Action: The Huddle Up action brings combat to a halt so Peter Quill can give the Guardians a rousing mid-fight pep talk. Whether the enemies are brainwashed space cops, bloodthirsty religious fanatics, or ravenous alien beasts, all of them will politely stand around waiting for the Guardians to finish psyching themselves up. While looking for evidence of what happened to Ko-Rel in the Nova Corps database, you'll find files and mugshots of several characters from the cosmic side of Marvel who don't appear in the game, such as Moondragon, Quasar, Darkhawk, Ronan the Accuser, and Richard Rider. Drax spends most of the early game suspecting Gamora of planning to betray the team. Ultimately it's him who does that, though under the effect of The Promise. The Blood Brothers wear suits of high-tech armor that render them immune to all harm. Fortunately, the armor only activates when they're near each other.Chain Lightning: The element gun's lightning setting allows you shoot a blast of electricity that jumps from the target to anyone nearby and paralyzes them for a moment. Happily Adopted: It’s revealed that Ko-Rel adopted Nikki to protect her from the Kree empire's purity laws. At the end of the game, the Guardians adopt her as well. Hop onto this new platform. Now rather than hopping across, look towards where the platform dropped down to spot a slope behind it. Climb this and at the top turn to the left to spot an Archive: Collateral Damage. We can drop down the ledges to the right of this to find a cache of Components.
