Hey, hey there. I'm Luke, and I'm bringing you a guide with all the achievements of Stellar Blade.

I recommend that you pay attention to each step of the guide so you don't get lost.

If third-party content is used to help you understand the path of this guide, all credits will be given.

So, let's get started!
Initial Observations

Estimated Difficulty for 100%: 3/10 (Story Mode) - 5/10 (Normal Mode)
Approximate Time to Obtain All Trophies: 40H - 50H
Total Trophies: 45
Missable Trophies: 3+
Minimum Playthroughs: 2 or 3
Bugged Trophies: 0
Co-op or Multiplayer Trophies: 0
Difficulty Affects Trophies: No. Getting 100% on Story Mode is easier



To make things easier to understand, this guide is divided into 5 parts.
  • Boss Battles
  • Missions
  • Collectibles
  • Combat
  • New Game+



Attention!

I've decided to classify the trophies by difficulty level. This takes into account how complex or time-consuming each trophy is. See the examples below:

Tips

For this guide, using the Interactive Map is extremely important to help you find collectibles and key locations throughout the game.

Interactive Map Link Below:
https://www.gamepressure.com/stellar-blade/interactive-map/z2113f7

Most trophies in the game can be missed, except those tied to story progression. There are two major “Points of No Return” that can prevent you from getting collectibles, completing missions, or unlocking certain trophies.

The first one happens after you head to the Orbital Elevator. After that point, you can no longer return to Xion City or other regions, so you'll lose access to any side quests and collectibles left behind. The game gives you a warning when you reach that moment.


The second is after completing the Spire 4 area, right before the final section of the game. Once you enter the last area, there’s no turning back.

But don’t worry: after finishing the game, you can start a New Game+, where all your progress and upgrades carry over. This is your chance to grab whatever you missed.




If you want to search for a specific trophy, press CTRL+F to open a search bar, type in the name of the trophy, and you’ll be taken straight to it.

Missions


Achievements Related to Main and Side Missions

The 3 achievements below are missable. Stellar Blade has three different endings. Two of them can be earned using the same save, so here’s the tip: when you're getting close to the end (around the Lily part or, if you’ve already collected everything, right after the fight against Raven), make a manual save in your save files.

The correct way to unlock both endings in a single playthrough is a bit different. One option is to manually back up your save files by going to the AppData > Local > SB folder and copying them somewhere safe. Alternatively, you can use this method: during the boss fight, make sure you don’t die — if you do, avoid reviving and instead force quit the game and reload it. After the credits roll, return to the main menu and select "Continue." You’ll respawn at the camp, allowing you to make a different choice with Adam and see the alternate ending.


Then continue to the end of the game, choose one of the options, get the trophy, and then restore the save to return to that point and make the other choice. Done — two endings secured without having to replay the whole game.

But to see the third ending, you’ll have to play again (New Game+ is fine). That’s because completing side missions and collecting items fills up Lily’s affinity bar (you’ll see it appear occasionally in the top right corner).
If this bar is full, after the first point of no return, you’ll unlock a special area that reveals more about Lily’s past.

If you don’t visit this area, the ending where you accept Adam’s offer will be different from the true ending. So, to see everything, a second playthrough is worth it.

To optimize your playthrough, I recommend following the instructions below:
  • Play until you reach the first point of no return. At this point, try to get all collectibles and complete all possible missions.
  • Keep playing until the second point of no return and finish collecting what’s left — collectibles, documents, and side quests.
  • When you’ve done everything, leave just two campsites uncompleted (stay at 87/89). At this point, back up your save, then go for the first ending by Refusing Adam’s offer.
  • After that, restore the save and choose the other option to get the second ending by Accepting Adam’s offer with Lily’s bar at 100%.
  • With both endings done, start a New Game+ and only follow the main story missions, skipping extras — that way Lily’s bar won’t increase.
  • At the end, accept Adam’s offer and boom, you’ll see the third ending, earning all three achievements.


Return to the Colony
Reached the "Return to the Colony" ending.

During the final decision in the Nest, do not take Adam’s hand to trigger this ending. This will also lead to a fight with the Elder Naytiba. Remember to back up your save beforehand.

Making New Memories
Achieved Making New Memories ending.

First, make sure Lily’s affinity bar is at 100%. You’ll know you’re on track for this ending if you go to Eidos 9 before heading to Spire 4.

Cost of Lost Memories
Reached the "Cost of Lost Memories" ending.

First, make sure Lily’s affinity bar is not at 100%. Just avoid collectibles and side missions in general. This way, her bar will never fill up. You’ll know you’ll get this ending if you skip Eidos 9 and go straight to Spire 4.

Beyond Fate
Completed the story of Enya and Su.

There are a total of 3 side missions in Enya and Su’s storyline:
    [] Looking at You – Available after receiving the main mission in Altess Levoire, when you can explore Xion freely.[] Keeping Secrets – Available after turning in the second Hyper Drive and completing the previous side mission.
  1. Madame Machine – Available after traveling to the Great Desert for the first time and completing the side mission "CnL – Communicate and Connect."

Sisterly Love
Completed Kaya’s storyline.

There are a total of 2 side missions in Kaya’s storyline:
    [] The Story of the Gatherer – Automatically given by Kaya when you find her at the Sisters’ Reed during the story.[] Meeting – Available after defeating Alpha Naytiba in Matrix 11 and completing the previous side mission.

Beep!
Completed D1G-g2r’s story.

There are a total of 2 side missions in D1G-g2r’s storyline:
    [] Plan to Clean the Earth – Available when entering the Wasteland for the first time.[] CnL – Communicate and Connect – Available after completing the previous side mission and reaching affinity level 2 with D1G-g2r.
Collectibles


Achievements Related to Collectibles

The game has hundreds of collectibles. For those who prefer a visual approach, here's a playlist with all collectibles by area.
PlayList

Can Collector
Collected all cans.

Collect all 49 cans. To do so, explore the game world and don’t miss the two points of no return mentioned at the beginning of the guide.
Video with the location of all cans:

Nano Suit Collector
Acquired 30 Nano Suits.

There are more than 30 suits in the game, so this should happen naturally.

Records Collector
Collected 200 Data Bank entries (Memorysticks, Documents, or Passcodes).

The game contains well over 200 documents, so no need to rush collecting them all — you'll find most of them naturally while hunting for cans and other collectibles. Just don’t forget to scan the environment often so you don’t miss anything.

Lonely Fisherman
Caught 20 different fish.

You learn to fish in the oasis in the Great Desert. The more you fish, the more points you earn, and those points can be used to buy books in the same area that unlock bigger fish. Bait is also sold there, but you can find some during the journey as well.

This trophy only requires catching 20 different fish, so you don’t need to catch every single one in the game.

Video discussing fishing in Stellar Blade:

Box Hunter
Opened 200 boxes.

There are far more than 200 boxes in the game. Just like documents, you'll open these naturally while collecting cans and exploring.

Naytiba Researcher
Got information on all Naytibas.

Every time you defeat a Naytiba, it's automatically registered in the database.
So the tip is simple: defeat them, and they’ll be recorded — so make sure to eliminate every Naytiba you come across.

One important detail: you need to choose the ending where you refuse Adam’s proposal, because only in that ending the final boss is a Naytiba — and it counts for the trophy.

Camp Preparation
Activated the first Camp.


Meticulous Explorer
Activated all Camps.

There are 89 camps you need to activate. Just keep in mind the last two are on the way to the final boss.
Video with all camp locations:

Perfect Exospine
Enhanced 10 Exospines to their max.

You’ll find Spine Modules naturally as you progress through the game. They can be upgraded at the workbenches located in camps. There are more than ten in total, so if you’re already collecting and exploring, you’ll likely get them without even noticing.

Perfect Blood Edge
Enhanced Blood Edge to its max.

EVE’s sword can be upgraded every time you defeat bosses, but the robot QU35-t40 also sells the upgrade material in his shop. In the end, there will be more than enough materials to max out the sword, so it’s easy.

Perfect Rechargeable Tumbler
Enhanced the Rechargeable Tumbler to its max.

Just like the sword, the flask also has more upgrade items available than needed to reach the max level.

Perfect Physical Enhancement
Enhanced HP to its max.

To do this, you need to find all fallen squad members’ bodies.

Perfect Beta Energy Enhancement
Enhanced Beta Energy to its max.

To do this, you need to find all fallen squad members’ bodies.
Fight


Combat-Related Trophies
Thorough Technician
Learned all skills.

The game has a total of 96 skills to unlock. To unlock them, you’ll need to gather SP, which you can earn by defeating enemies, completing missions, and doing other side activities. You can speed this up by equipping Training items that boost SP gain.

If you complete all side quests and defeat every enemy you find, you can unlock all skills before finishing the game. But if you're short on SP by the end, there’s a great farming spot: in Spiral 4, starting from the Space Center camp. Go to the room next to it and enter a big door on the left — there you’ll find several tentacled droid-like enemies. You can defeat them, return to the camp, rest, and repeat until you have enough SP.

And don’t worry about New Game+ skills for this trophy. They’re separate and have a DLC-specific trophy. Only the initial 96 from the first playthrough count here.

Battlefield Martial Artist
Perfect Dodged 200 enemy attacks.

First, you need to unlock the Perfect Dodge skill in the skill tree. Don’t worry, you get this one early in the game.

Agile Gladiator
Perfect Parried 300 enemy attacks.

Same as the one above — just unlock the Perfect Block skill.

Silent Executioner
Defeated 50 enemies by execution.

For this trophy, you first need to unlock the Ambush skill in the Attack tree. Then, you’ll have to eliminate enemies stealthily — sneak up behind them when they're unaware (or from above).

Naytiba Hunter
Defeated 100 enemies with Beta Skills.

Just defeat 100 enemies using Beta Skills.

Relentless Destroyer
Defeated 50 enemies with Burst Skills.

Explosive skills are unlocked after defeating the Stalker in Matrix 11.

Revenging Agent
Defeated 50 enemies in Tachy Mode.

Tachy Mode is unlocked after defeating the story boss "Tachy" in Matrix 11.

Cold-blooded Sniper
Defeated 150 enemies with ranged attacks.

You’ll unlock ranged attacks right before heading into the Wastelands.

Cruel Liberator
Defeated 1,500 enemies.
New Game+


New Game+ Related Trophies
Infinite Blade
Learned all skills in New Game+.

In New Game+, the game unlocks 12 new skills that you’ll need to obtain for this specific trophy. They’re divided as follows:

    Beta Tree:
  1. Infinite Pierce
  2. Extreme Enhancement (Triplet)
  3. Infinite Breaker
  4. Extreme Enhancement (Shield Breaker)
  5. Infinite Wave
  6. Extreme Enhancement (Shock Wave)
  7. Infinite Slash
  8. Extreme Enhancement (Slash)

    Explosion Tree:
  9. Damage Boost III (Punishing Edge)
  10. Disable Limiter
  11. Damage Boost II (Tempest)
  12. Damage Boost (Descending Break)


Each of these skills costs 6 SP, meaning you’ll need a total of 72 SP.

You can reset the Attack, Survival, and Tachy trees to recover up to 59 SP, so you’ll still need to farm 13 SP through gameplay.
However, you can’t reset the Explosion and Beta trees, since these NG+ skills are locked at the end of their branches.

Repeating Protocols
Completed New Game+.

EVE Protocol
Obtained all trophies.

Have played through the game three times and have 107 out of 125 nano suits. It would be great if there was a list of all the nanosuits in the same order as they are in inventory available somewhere.
Aytgh 26 Jul @ 4:14am 
@Algester

You can't go to Eidos 9 for the Cost of Lost Memories run.
Algester 25 Jul @ 7:16pm 
Eidos 9 has 3 sets of nano suits to collect (technically 8-9 nano suits) 3 per run

Also NG++ has new earrings that can be collected in the wild anything bought prior has no alternate form
Aytgh 6 Jul @ 4:52pm 
I can confirm that you get alternate versions of the Eidos 9 nano suits as well. So there's a reason to replay that level, if you wanna get them and the weapon core.
Aytgh 30 Jun @ 7:38am 
Well, the only way to find out is to replay that stage then.
Luke-Son  [author] 30 Jun @ 5:29am 
@Aytgh

I don't know about that, I'm sorry
Aytgh 30 Jun @ 12:08am 
Do the nano suits in Eidos 9 have alternate versions of them? That's pretty much the only reason to replay that stage.
Aytgh 26 Jun @ 9:26am 
@Luke-Son

Thank you.
Luke-Son  [author] 26 Jun @ 9:25am 
@Aytgh

It depends. If you're the type of person who explores every corner of the level, you might not need a guide. But there's one specific can that you might miss without a guide.
Aytgh 26 Jun @ 9:22am 
@Luke-Son

What I meant was are they easy to find without a guide?
