Guardians of the Galaxy · Trophy Guide

Collectibles & Missables

Almost the entire platinum unlocks automatically as you play. These six trophies are the only ones you have to actively plan for — and Guardians handles missables in a nastier way than most story games.

⚠️ Chapter select does NOT save collectibles. Replaying a chapter resets your Guardian Collectibles & Compendium progress. Collect everything on a clean first run — or grab misses in New Game Plus, which does carry your progress over.

Thoughtful Captain

Pick up Guardian Collectibles on the Milano.

TypeBronze
KindGuardian Collectibles

What it asks

Guardian Collectibles are personal trinkets scattered through the levels. When you find one, it appears on the Milano (your ship) — interact with it there for banter and to log it.

How to earn it

  1. Grab Guardian Collectibles as you explore each chapter.
  2. Back on the Milano between missions, interact with the new items when the prompt appears.

Managerial Skills

All Guardian Collectibles for one character.

TypeSilver
KindGuardian Collectibles

What it asks

Collect every Guardian Collectible tied to a single Guardian (each crew member has their own set). Following a full collectible route naturally completes at least one character's set.

How to earn it

  1. Use a collectible-locations checklist so you don't miss any.
  2. If you're short, New Game Plus keeps your progress — no need to restart.
Grabbing all Guardian Collectibles for everyone (via a full guide) earns this automatically.

Like a Glove!

Equip an Outfit.

TypeBronze
KindOutfits

What it asks

Outfits are alternate costumes hidden in the levels. This just needs you to find one and equip it from the Milano's wardrobe.

How to earn it

  1. Pick up any Outfit box during a chapter.
  2. Equip it back on the ship — trophy pops instantly.

Fashion Passion

Find & equip all Outfits.

TypeSilver
KindOutfits

What it asks

Find every Outfit across all 16 chapters and equip them. There are a fixed number hidden in specific levels.

How to earn it

  1. Follow an Outfit-locations list chapter-by-chapter.
  2. Equip each once found; the trophy pops when the last one is collected.
Outfits are level-bound — grab each one on your first pass, as chapter select won't preserve the pickup.

Lore Hoarder

SilverMissableFull guideCollapse

Unlock 65% of the Compendium.

TypeSilver
KindCompendium
Needs65%

What it asks

The Compendium fills with lore entries as you scan objects, meet characters and pick up collectibles. You only need 65%, so you don't have to be exhaustive — but you do need to be curious.

How to earn it

  1. Scan and interact with everything Star-Lord's visor highlights.
  2. Guardian Collectibles and Outfits also feed the Compendium, so a thorough collectible run gets you well past 65%.

Galactic Frugality

Pay the ~8,000+ credit fine in Chapter 9.

TypeBronze
Chapter9
Needs~8,000+ credits

What it asks

In Chapter 9 you're hit with a large fine. To pay it (and earn this trophy) you need to have banked enough credits — roughly 8,000–9,000.

How to earn it

  1. Credits ("Units") are spent at Wortt's shop on gear upgrades. Don't overspend in Chapter 6, where it's tempting to blow your savings.
  2. Arrive at Chapter 9 with ~8,000+ banked and choose to pay the fine.
This is the one missable that's genuinely annoying to redo — it's tied to a specific story beat, so guard your credits early.
