The Guardians of the Galaxy Nikki character is first introduced in Chapter 2 as Nikki Gold, after the Guardians are captured by the Nova Corps. Nikki is the daughter of Nova Corp captain Ko-Rel, of whom Peter has a history. Peter quickly begins to suspect that Nikki may be his estranged daughter. 

Nikki also becomes the catalyst for the Promise, a mind-altering entity stemming from the Soul Stone - one of the six Infinity Stones. Urging the Guardians on, they aim to save Nikki not just because they believe her to be Peter’s daughter, but also to save the Galaxy. It’s kind of their thing. 

This chapter is just one of many, so check out our Guardian of the Galaxy chapters guide to see just how long this adventure will take.  

Guardians of the Galaxy Nikki: Tell Ko-Rel The Truth Or Take The Blame

In Guardians of the Galaxy Nikki is in trouble with her mother, when they finally reunite later in Chapter 2. Here you have the options to tell Ko-Rel that Nikki has stolen a pass key, or take the blame yourself and say you hacked your way through the space station. Telling Ko-Rel the truth in Guardians of the Galaxy has next to no benefits, as she confiscates the pass key from Nikki. 

On the other hand, if you take the blame yourself, Nikki will give you the pass key to hide. Later in the game when you return to Hala’s Hope, you will be able to access a collectible thanks to Nikki’s pass key. In Guardians of the Galaxy Nikki is the one to side with when it comes to deciding whether to tell Ko-Rel the truth or take the blame. 

This is just one of the many choices throughout the game. Need to know what to do in the Guardians of the Galaxy llama or tech decision, we have the guide just for you. 

Guardians of the Galaxy Nikki: Is Nikki Peter Quill’s Daughter?

For the majority of Guardians of the Galaxy Nikki is believed to be Quill’s daughter. We even get what is seemingly confirmation when the team finds an unfinished DNA test. However, upon speaking to the remnants of Nikki’s mother Ko-Rel inside the Promise, it is revealed that Nikki is an orphan of war. Nikki is not the daughter of Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy

Despite this Peter Quill appears to be taking on the guardian role pretty seriously with Nikki. Although we suspect that Guardians of the Galaxy Nikki won’t be needing any protection after the events of this game. 

Nikki brings the team together, however choices such as the Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket or Groot dilemma can tear them apart.
