Guardians of the Galaxy Chapter 12 Collectibles Locations

Guardians of the Galaxy Chapter 12 contains 14 Collectible Locations. This walkthrough will guide you to all collectibles in Chapter 12 in chronological order. Everything that’s needed for trophies and 100% completion is included: Outfits, Guardian Collectibles, Compendium Items, Archives.

All of the Collectibles are missable, the reason being that your progress reverts in Chapter Select to the progress you had when you played the Chapter for the first time (except Outfits which do stay). Finding missing items in Chapter Select doesn’t add them to your save later in the game. In other words, whatever you find through Chapter Select doesn’t get saved and doesn’t count towards trophies & achievements. Because of this it’s recommended to save in a different Manual Slot at the start of every Chapter. If you miss something you can reload the save to replay the Chapter right away. Make sure you save in a different slot each time, because the autosave automatically keeps overwriting the active Save Slot.

Chapter 12 – Nowhere to Run

Galactic Compendium Item: Mourning Candle
While on your spaceship, interact with it in Drax’s room and exhaust all dialogues to add this to your Compendium Items. Only available if you found it in Chapter 10.

Galactic Compendium Item: Meditation Stone
While on your spaceship, interact with it in Gamora’s room and exhaust all dialogues to add this to your Compendium Items. Only available if you found it in Chapter 10.

Outfit – Drax: Thanos Imperative
After defeating the very first group of enemies at the start of the chapter, there’s a pillar in the center of the area that you can command Drax to move. Do so, then climb up the platform to find the purple chest at the top.

Archive: Knowhere Safe
From the last collectible, climb back down and follow the other guardians. On the left side of the path is this archive. BEFORE getting to the big round elevator.

Archive: A Prophetic Convergence
From the last collectible, use the big round elevator. This leads to a burning marketplace area. In a stall on the right side is this archive on the ground.

Outfit – Rocket: The Smuggler
In the same area as the last collectible. After fighting a group of enemies, you’re supposed to squeeze through a gap. BEFORE squeezing through it, turn to the right side and use your Wind Element gun to pull a wall, which reveals the outfit chest behind it.

Archive: Egghead Reviews: That’s More Like It
From the last collectible, squeeze through the gap opposite the outfit chest, use your wind gun to pull down a wall, command Gamora to jump on a wall and lift you up. Drop down on the other side and use your gun’s Wind Element to open the gate for your fellow Guardians. After doing so, while facing the gate you’ve just unlocked, look to your left to find this Collectible on some wooden crates.

Archive: Reply: Missing Persons Report
From the last collectible, interact with the next barricade to push it aside. Then keep heading straight until you come to some vending machines, on the floor there you find the archive.

Guardian Collectible: Glarnot Mask
From the last archive, slide down the ramp left of the vending machines. Then climb up the yellow ledges and you’ll see some toxic gas ahead. Use your Ice guns to freeze the leaks on the poison pipe. On the platform where the poison was, is this Guardian Collectible.

Outfit – Groot: Impaler
From the last collectible, get back up to where you came from and command Gamora to cut through the wires near the vending machines. Then shimmy along two ledges. In this new area, BEFORE helping Drax push some rubble out of the way, to the left of where Drax stands is a green wind-element part of a wall. Use your wind guns to pull it out, then command Groot to make a bridge. This leads to a locked gate, shoot the panel above it and use electric element gun to open the door. In the next area, shoot the vent on the left and command Rocket to go through it to turn off the electricity in the water. Now you can find the Outfit chest on the right side of the area.

Outfit – Gamora: Casual Kill
Much later into the Chapter, after some enemy encounters, you’ll have to ask Drax to tear the ground open to slide down a slope. Once you’ve reached the bottom, turn around 180° and you will find an opening in the rubble you can crouch under. Reach the other side to find a purple container with this Costume collectible.

Outfit – Star-Lord: Apocalypse-Lord
Later into the chapter, after some more enemy encounters, you’ll come to a sandy circular area and have to command Drax to move a big pillar to proceed further. After using the pillar to climb up the ledge, look to your right to see a wall Gamora can interact with. Anchor Gamora halfway up the wall and then jump to her, so that she can give you a boost. Use the boost momentum to make it across the gap on your right and reach a new area. Here you’ll find a purple container with this Costume collectible.

Archive: Investigating the Hand
From the last collectible, drop down and continue on the main path, but instead of going down the stairs, activate your visor vision and you will see a platform Groot can interact with. Stand on the platform and have Groot lift it all the way up and you will see this on a crate near some blue barrels.

Archive: Work-Related Death Report
From the last collectible, get back down to where Groot lifted you up the platform. Walk past the workbench and head straight, jump down the broken stairs and then check the left corner for this archive. BEFORE squeezing through the gap where Drax is waiting.
