In Chapter 9 of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, the Guardians contact the Nova Corps Worldmind and try to convince it to help fight the Universal Church of Truth. In this guide, we explain how to reach the Worldmind through the Nova Corps terminal and which dialogue options you need to choose to secure its help later in the game.
How to Contact the Worldmind in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
After the space battle in Chapter 9: Desperate Times, Peter Quill will use the Milano's communications terminal to contact the Nova Corps. When the language prompt appears, choose Standard Galactic.The terminal contains several menus, but only one route lets you reach the Worldmind. Select:
Criminal Offenses > Past Crime > Pay a Fine.
Choosing this route brings up the Xandarian Worldmind and starts the conversation.How to Contact the Worldmind in Marvel's Guardians of the GalaxyHow to Contact the Worldmind in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
How to Convince the Worldmind to Help You
The Worldmind believes that fighting the Universal Church of Truth is effectively hopeless and plans to leave. To make it reconsider, you need to challenge that conclusion with information and logic rather than emotional arguments.Choose the following dialogue options:
[Share Intel].
[Question Strategy].
[Put in Perspective].
The second answer is important. Some older guides incorrectly recommend Appeal to Duty, but the reliable route is Question Strategy.If you choose all three answers correctly, a notification appears in the upper-right corner:You planted a seed of doubt in the Worldmind's logic routines.This is the successful outcome.How to Convince the Worldmind to Help YouHow to Convince the Worldmind to Help You
What Happens if You Convince the Worldmind?
Your decision pays off later in Chapter 14. During the Guardians' assault against the Universal Church of Truth, the Worldmind returns and eliminates a large group of enemies for you.If you fail to convince it in Chapter 9, the story still continues normally. You simply lose this reinforcement and have to fight that enemy group yourself.Convincing the Worldmind does not unlock a separate ending. It changes part of the later combat sequence and gives the Guardians additional help during the final stretch of the game.To convince the Worldmind in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, contact it through Criminal Offenses > Past Crime > Pay a Fine, then choose Share Intel, Question Strategy, and Put in Perspective. If the notification about planting a seed of doubt appears, you have successfully secured the Worldmind's help for Chapter 14.
