All endings in Stellar Blade can be opened during the first playthrough of the story campaign, if you use a backup save at a decisive moment. The game presents several options for the development of events - there are three possible endings, which you will come to depending on the additional content unlocked during the storyline and the decisions made at its completion.
In this guide, we'll explain how to unlock all endings on your first playthrough, including the secret one. Each Stellar Blade ending represents a different conclusion to Eva's journey and can unlock specific achievements and rewards.
❗️Please note that the following contains spoilers regarding storyline details.❗️
How many endings are there in Stellar Blade?
There are three endings to unlock in Stellar Blade:
- "The Price of Lost Memories."
- "Return to the Colony."
- "Creating New Memories."
The first two endings are determined by the decisions you make at the end of the campaign. However, to open the third, secret ending, you must fill out the relationship scale with Lily 100% by collecting documents from the data bank around the world and completing side missions.
How to unlock all endings in one playthrough
The only way to unlock all endings in one playthrough is to not collect any collectibles from the data bank before the first point of no return. When you complete the research Levoir "Abyss" need to do backup to PS+ cloud.
The game cannot record individual saves manually; there are no additional slots for this, so you will have to copy external progress files to the PS+ cloud yourself. Before completing the Levoir "Abyss", turn off auto-sync, as well as the Internet, so that cloud saves are not automatically overwritten.
Next, come to the ending without reaching 100% progress in your relationship with Lily, restart the backup save and start collecting all the items from the end of the Abyss levoir. When you level up your relationship with Lily, go through the rest of the story again, this time watching the other two endings.
What affects the ending?
In the final task there will be a long dialogue with Adam, during which there will be two options: either offer his hand to accept his offer and unite as one, or refuse and not return the gesture.
Refusal of the offer will in any case lead to a good ending «Return to the Colony" and the battle with Prime Biotiv. If you take Adam's side, you can open two other options for the development of events: “The Cost of Lost Memories” and “Creating New Memories.” The further fork will depend on the progress in the relationship with Lily - whether it was possible to achieve 100% mutual understanding with her or not.
At the end of exploring the Eidos-7 area, you will be given the opportunity to cooperate with Adam. While this may seem like an important choice at the beginning of the game, the decision actually has no effect on the outcome of the story, so you can choose whichever option you like.
Points of no return
There are two points of no return in the game that you should :
- First point of no return — when you finish exploring the Levoir “Abyss”, most of the game world will become inaccessible. Xion will be closed, as will all collectibles in this city. If you plan to watch all three endings in one playthrough, create a PS+ backup before the end of the journey to the Levoir "Abyss" and it again to collect all the items from the data bank and get 100% progress with Lily.
- Second point of no return - will be at the end of the Spire 4 area. ing this point in the plot will block all other locations of the game, there will be no way back.
Scale Lily, Eidos-9 and Spire-4
By collecting various memory cards and scanning documents throughout the storyline, you will gradually fill the percentage scale with Lily. Bringing this scales up to 100% progress will determine the ending of the story after you extend your hand to Adam. After the levoir area "Abyss", according to the plot, the team will have to go to the orbital elevator, but Lily will intervene in the dialogue and say that she would like to visit Eidos-9 for the sake of a certain workshop.
If the gauge isn't 100% full, it's best to continue collecting collectibles and completing side quests before moving on to Spire 4, the crucial point of no return where the only way to get to the nest is. Complete as many orders as possible from the notice board and requests from residents, keep track of prayers, magazines and books in the data bank.
Journey to the Nest
After completing all the tasks in Spire 4 and on the orbital elevator, talk to Lily - she will ask if you want to follow the signal of the motorcycle, which will lead to the Nest. Please note that then you will not be able to visit other locations, find new items or complete quests. Complete the optional content before agreeing to trace the signal if you want to get Lily's meter to 100% and unlock the secret ending.
Final battle and backup
When you get to Supply camps in Nest, Eve will mention that this is the last camp. If you want to see other endings, then at this stage make a backup copy to roll back your game progress and see all the endings of the story.
To do this you need to go to settings and go to "Storage". In a new tab, select "Saved data for PS5 games" and click on the option " to cloud storage". After the finale, you can return to the camp and make another decision - to take Adam's hand or not.
How to get all endings in Stellar Blade
It's better to play through the game twice rather than try to unlock all the endings at once. The new Stellar Blade game allows you to skip cutscenes and defeat enemies faster, since all the skills, equipment and items from the previous playthrough are retained. Therefore, the best way is to collect everything on the first run for 100% progress with Lily and continue the story in New Game+, skipping the side content.
