Stellar Blade: How to Unlock All Endings

The story of Stellar Blade is one that will bring players on quite a journey. From arriving on Earth to facing the threat of the Naytibas, to learning more about the human race and the Andros-Eidos, those willing to put in the time and effort will have plenty of takeaways from the story and the lore.

Of course, with Eve at the core of things, her story will definitely be the one that players care most about, and their role in determining the ending of the game will dictate just where Eve will go to next. For those seeking some help when it comes to unlocking all three endings in Stellar Blade, this guide will have all the relevant details.

Points of No Return in Stellar Blade

With three possible endings to obtain in Stellar Blade, there are some key conditions that players must take note of.

Throughout the game, as Eve completes objectives and quests or collects certain lore items, there will be a bar that appears in the top right corner with an icon of Lily. Over time, this bar will build up to a max of 100%, which will be important in determining the character’s fate in two of the possible endings. Depending on your preference, you will either need to max out this bar, or avoid filling it up.

The last opportunity players will have to change the above is before making the decision to head to the Orbit Elevator:

• Lily’s bar is at 100% – She will request the party to head to Eidos 9 first, an optional area that has its own enemies and collectibles, including Nano Suits.
• Lily’s bar is below 100% – The party will head straight to the Orbit Elevator, forgoing any chance to explore the optional area.

The other key condition is the decision you will make at The Nest. After discovering that Adam is the Elder Naytiba, he will offer players a choice. Either join with him to make a new race of humans and Andros-Eidos hybrids, or take him down and complete your original mission. This will cause the ending to differ as well.

How to Get Every Ending in Stellar Blade

Now that you are all caught up, it’s time to talk about the three endings: Making New Memories, Cost of New Memories, and Return to the Colony.

Making New Memories Ending in Stellar Blade

This ending can be considered the best ending for Stellar Blade. Players must fulfill the following conditions to get this ending:

• Ensure Lily’s bar is at 100%, meaning you went to Eidos 9 and completed the optional area.
• During the events at The Nest, choose to take Adam’s hand.

With these choices, we will see Eve join hands with Adam, fusing into a new entity that has plenty going for it visually and functionally. However, with the threat of the Elder Naytiba seemingly gone, the Providence exosuit that Lily is wearing starts losing control and will now attack the newly transformed Eve. As with most boss fights, the key is to use your Beta abilities as much as possible, and parry the enemy’s attacks. Don’t forget to use your Burst skills, too, along with Tachy Mode, to deal heavy damage to the boss.

Defeat Providence, and Lily will be kept safe and sound as she reunites with Eve. However, that is not all, as Mother Sphere will finally appear before the pair, noting the success of the Eve Protocol, and sending down more Airborne Squad members to eliminate the new threat to her control. The warriors will keep on coming, so make sure to use all of Eve’s new skills to cut them down. Eventually, the screen will fade to black, before showing Lily using the final Hyper Cell to start the rebuilding of Xion.

The people will finally have a reason to cheer, and they will witness the arrival of Eve at the city’s square, heralding a new age for humanity and Andros-Eidos alike. The game also teases that this is just the beginning, potentially setting the stage for a sequel.

Return to the Colony Ending in Stellar Blade

As for the Return to the Colony ending, any progress with Lily is negligible, as Eve will instead stick to her original mission of eliminating the threat of the Elder Naytiba for Mother Sphere. This predictably disappoints Adam, but he is understanding of Eve’s position.

As the fight commences, the human form of Adam will not be as aggressive as the other foes that Eve has faced along the way. Instead, it is likely that players will be able to defeat this form in a relatively quick time, but the real threat comes later when Adam turns into the Elder Naytiba.

This is easily the toughest fight in the game, as the Elder Naytiba hits hard and fast. Using its spears and size, it is a threat both up close and from afar. Be sure to always defend whenever possible, parrying its fast attacks and watching out for its teleportation around the battlefield. When it gears up for an insta-kill skill, use the drone to shoot down those cherubs, but watch out for projectiles while aiming.

Eventually, Eve will bring down the Elder Naytiba, and both she and Lily will take up Mother Sphere’s invitation to return to the colony. After learning about Mother Sphere’s true nature and its role in the tragedy on Earth, sticking to the mission can be considered the worst ending for Stellar Blade.

Cost of New Memories Ending in Stellar Blade

The third ending is essentially the same as the Making New Memories ending, except for the fact that Lily’s bar has not progressed to 100%. After taking up Adam’s offer at The Nest and battling Providence without the hacking code found at Eidos 9, Lily remains trapped in the exosuit and is fatally wounded. She doesn’t make it out alive, fueling Eve’s hatred against Mother Sphere.

Eve will still have to fight off the additional Airborne Squad members to survive, and while Lily is no longer with her, the rebuilding efforts in Xion and on Earth will still have to continue.
