INGENIOUS ICON

Brawls early on are EZ, but they get trickier later. To make them more manageable, pay close attention to the markers next to enemy health bars. These icons indicate what kind of damage you should be dishing out. This’ll boost stagger to help you smash through those health bars faster!

BOSS BRAWLS

Mini-bosses and maxi-bosses make for tricky fights. First, stagger them. Then hit them with all of your stacked Guardians attacks. Gamora and Rocket have the handiest big-hitters. Groot is also totes helpful with the right upgrades. Nab his Mammoth Grab unlock ASAP to keep bigger foes in check in big battles!

OFF-ROAD REWARDS

Sticking to the main path’ll get you to the end of the game, but blazing your own trail rewards with precious pick-ups. When your fellow Guardians complain you’re going the wrong way, that’s the right way. For rewards. Scan with Star-Lord’s Visor heaps to spot pick-ups. You can always replay if you’ve missed crit collectables!
