Be warned thatthe following sections will contain spoilers for the story of Stellar Blade, so only proceed if you are okay with knowing what happens.
Points of No Return in Stellar Blade
With three possible endings to obtain inStellar Blade, there are somekey conditionsthat 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 isbefore making the decision tohead to the Orbit Elevator:
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. Eitherjoin with himto make a new race of humans and Andros-Eidos hybrids, ortake him downand 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 forStellar Blade. Players must fulfill the following conditions to get this ending:
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, theProvidence exosuitthat Lily is wearing starts losing control and willnow 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 touse 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 fora 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 theElder Naytiba.
This is easily the toughest fight in the game, as theElder 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 toreturn 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 forStellar 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, therebuilding efforts in Xionand on Earth will still have to continue.
