Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has recently been released and we already have a complete walkthrough for finding all of the Guardian Items in various chapters. As these collectibles aren’t highlighted on your HUD, it’s quite possible to skip past them.
Many of the items are hidden behind crevices in your ship, making them extremely difficult to spot. However, finding these collectibles allows you to strengthen your bond with your team as it unlocks various new conversations between you and your shipmates.
How to find All Guardian Collectibles
Finding the Guardian Items unlocks various trophies like the Thoughtful Captain which you can achieve after hunting down half of the Collectibles. If you manage to find all of the Guardian Collectibles relating to a single Guardian, you will receive the Managerial Skills Trophy. Here are the locations of all the Guardian Items scattered across various Chapter:
