Unfortunately, you’ll soon find that it’s going to cost a whopping 5,000 credits if you want to get in, which puts a big hitch in your plans for paying off that Nova Corp fine. Luckily there’s a secret way of getting a free ticket into the emporium in Guardians of the Galaxy if you know what to do. 

Stop at Mantlo’s Bar First Thing in Knowhere

Mantlo's Bar.

The first thing you’ll need to do is make sure to stop at Montlo’s Bar as soon as you see it on Knowhere. Right after the first time you meet Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy, you’ll see the bar, so head to the window and press triangle to interact with Rocket and Groot.

Make absolutely sure that you go into Mantlo’s first and don’t step forward onto the stairs, which is when Drax leaves your party. If you go to the stairs first you won’t be able to get the free ticket.

Once you step into the bar a cutscene will play, and soon enough Star-Lord will find himself looking down the barrel of a gun held by Lipless, who claims to be an old friend.

To get the free ticket you need to “salvage Lipless’ friendship,” which involves making the right choices in the following conversation. There are multiple ways to salvage the friendship, but as long as you make the following three choices you’ll be guaranteed to succeed. 

  • Pretend You Remember
  • Like A Hurricane
  • Through The Rain
