"Stellar Blade" has a total of 3 endings, including Return to the Colony, Cost of Lost Memories, and Making New Memories. Many players may wonder why they only unlocked one ending after playing through, and how to unlock the other two endings. This article will introduce the methods to unlock all endings in Stellar Blade. Quickly log in to your Stellar Blade Account and experience the alternative endings!
Overview of Stellar Blade Endings
The endings of "Stellar Blade" are: Return to the Colony, Cost of Lost Memories, and Making New Memories. The endings of 【Cost of Lost Memories】 and 【Making New Memories】 are mutually exclusive, requiring the Lily's bar to reach 100% or not reach 100%. The progress bar needs to be increased by collecting memory sticks and documents.
To unlock all endings within one playthrough, you need to ignore all collectibles until the first plot point where you can't go back (the lower area of Luvah), and create a PS+ cloud save at this point. Since this game doesn't support manual saving, backing up to the PS+ cloud is the only option. Then, complete the ending that didn't achieve 100% Lily progress first, reload the save in the lower area of Luvah to collect everything for 100% completion, and finally replay the remaining plot.
Unlocking all three endings in one playthrough will inevitably affect the gaming experience to some extent because you must skip all side content initially and replay a lot of content later to unlock 100% completion. Since this game has related trophies for New Game+, you'll need to play through twice regardless to achieve platinum. So it's recommended to go through two complete playthroughs, collecting all trophies and achieving the ending with 100% Lily progress for a more enjoyable and explorative experience. After that, speed through the main story in New Game+, skipping all side content.
Conditions Affecting Stellar Blade Endings
During the final showdown in the game, players will have a long conversation with Adam, with two options: accepting his proposal or rejecting it. Rejecting the proposal will unlock the ending 【Return to the Colony】, while accepting it will lead to either 【Cost of Lost Memories】 or 【Making New Memories】 depending on whether the Lily's bar reaches 100%.
Plot Points Where You Can't Go Back
These points are crucial turning points in the game where players need to make careful decisions and ensure they have completed all necessary tasks and collectibles to reach different endings.
1. After completing the area "Lower Luvah": Once this area is completed, players will be unable to return to the entire city portion of Siyung. All collectibles in this area will no longer be accessible. If players want to unlock all endings in one playthrough, they must preserve a PS+ cloud save before this point and reload to regain all collectibles for reaching 100% of Lily’s bar.
2. After completing the area "Spire 4": Once this area is completed, players will be unable to return to any other areas in the game.
This means players need to ensure they have completed all necessary tasks and collectibles before completing this area.
