The Star-Lord 2014 skin, a faithful recreation of Peter Quill’s look from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, is a sought-after cosmetic item in the Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy game. Obtaining it requires a bit of exploration and a keen eye during Chapter 6 of the game. Here’s exactly how you acquire this classic outfit:
To get the Star-Lord 2014 skin, you need to go to Knowhere during Chapter 6. When you find yourself on Knowhere, make your way to the right, heading towards a set of stairs in the distance. At the top of these stairs is an area populated by several aliens, including some children at play. Instead of going into this area, look to the railing to the left of the children. There you’ll see red pipes on the other side of the railing. Jump over the railing onto the red pipes. Turn left from there and you will find an opening underneath the stairs. The Star-Lord 2014 outfit is hidden underneath the stairs in this spot. Simply navigate to this area, and the skin will be added to your collection, allowing you to change Star-Lord’s appearance at any point in the game.

Other Outfit Locations in Guardians of the Galaxy
While you’re hunting down Star-Lord’s classic outfit, you might be interested in other cosmetic items hidden throughout the game. Here are a few key examples.
Rocket’s 2014 Movie Outfit
This one is found very early in the game. Immediately after Star-Lord slides down a piece of metal in Chapter 1, you will come to a fork in the path. You will get the option to go left or right, take either direction, and the outfit will be in plain sight
Gamora’s MCU Outfit
To find the Gamora MCU outfit, head right before following the tracks, towards a small cave entrance. Enter the cave, defeat the enemies and climb up to find the outfit.
Rocket’s Stinger Outfit
This outfit is located near some poison plants. Look for an area with four glowing plants (using Star-Lord’s visor can help). Shoot them to reveal the outfit hidden behind them.
Drax’s 2014 Movie Outfit
You can obtain Drax’s outfit in Chapter 4. However, this is only accessible if you chose to sell Rocket to Lady Hellbender. Explore the underground tunnels of the fortress to find the Drax costume.

You’ll find this one by looking under a crate after you make a certain decision. If you’re in the right spot, you’ll hear Star-Lord say something about the cadet owing him one.
