All Important Story Choices in each Chapter | Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

There's a lot of talking and decision-making in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, but how do you know now what will be an important choice or not? The game sometimes clearly states the obvious what is essential and what isn't, but other times it doesn't, so that a simple choice you make may change things further on in the game.

This guide will tell you what chapters these critical choices lay and when you need to make them.

All Important Story Choices in each Chapter

Chapter One

This isn't very important, but it does get referenced from time to time.

• How to win the bet against Rocket in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy

Chapter Two

There are two important choices to be made here. One changes how much you are fined, and the other locks you out of some collectibles later on in Chapter Seven. All other dialogues choices are not important, choose what you will.

• Should you Hide the Space Llama or Hide Rocket's Secret Stash
  • This choice only effects how much you are fined, for full information follow our guide.
• Should you side with Nikki or Ro-Kel?
  • This choice effects if you are locked out of collectibes later on in the game.

Chapter Three

There is one massively impacting choice for Chapter Four and one not-so-important choice that doesn't change anything apart from the route you have to take in Chapter Four.

• Should you sell Rocket or Groot to Lady Hellbender?
  • This choice completely alters the next chapter.
• Should you encourage Drax to throw Rocket or stop him?
  • This choice only changes the path you take.

Chapter Four

Depending on who you chose to sell in the previous chapter. Depends on if the conversation with Lady Hellbender succeeds or not.

• If you sold Groot
  • How to negotiate with Lady Hellbender?
    • This affects how many units you get.
• If you sold Rocket
  • For information on what's different follow this guide. What changes in Chapter Four if you sold either Groot or Rocket?

Chapter Five

These choices aren't important and don't change much to the game.

• Should you speak into the helmet or put it down?
  • Decides a battle
• What happens when you free the Nova Corp. prisoner?
  • This one is funny

Chapter Six

This choice is completely optional, meaning it's missable. If you miss it you will not get a Compendium Item. But due to it being optional/missable isn't important to the later chapters of the game.

  • Somewhat helps the guardians find a way out sooner
• How to get past the Flashback with your Mother?
