How to beat Magus in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy – Chapter Sixteen

In Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Magus will eventually turn evil. Who could have predicted that a person who called himself a god would turn out in such a way? Being the biggest jerk to him is the best way to beat him.

You must do what The Guardians of the Galaxy do best to aggravate Magus so that he comes after you if you want to beat him. Magus will face you in three stages during the final battle. Before entering this fight, we recommend that you buy all of Peter's character skills and craft as many perks for him as possible.

Part One: Kneel

When talking to Magus, you should choose the Slow Clap option. He won't throw a planet at you if you kneel, but Star-Lord kneels to no one! You should choose Slow Clap like a real warrior and then run straight for Nikki's shield to avoid being killed by this silly choice. Even after the big planet, Magic will still send shadow creatures onto the battlefield for the player to fight.

Additionally, Magus will launch bombs at you. You should be on the lookout for the red impact zone indicators on the ground and avoid standing in them.

Part Two: Badger Him

When you speak to Magus, you should choose the Badger Him option. Nikki's shield can save you from being killed by another massive planet that he'll throw at you.

Magus will launch more shadow creatures at you after you have survived the planet being thrown at you, and you will have to fight them off as before.

Part 3: Provoke The Magus

By choosing the Provoke the Magus option this time, you will finally irritate him enough that he will charge at you. To defeat Magus, you need to pass the stone from Guardian to Guardian until it reaches Star-Lord. With each pass, a command prompt will appear, and you should hit the command as soon as it has reached the highlighted area. If you do this successfully for all of the characters, Star-Lord will get the stone.

You need to press the command prompt button as fast as possible to beat Magus once Star-Lord has the stone. A cutscene will follow after the screen fades out, and you will have defeated The Magus.
