How to Unlock All Endings in Stellar Blade

You can unlock three different endings in Stellar Blade. Getting them depends on your final decision: should you take Adam's hand? There's also the completion of a “discovery” bar that is involved in which ending you can get. The three of them give you unique trophies, so you will need to see them all if you want Stellar Blade’s Platinum.

Apart from different story beats, you will face one of two possible bosses depending on the decisions you have made and the side content you have completed until a certain point.

How to Unlock All Endings in Stellar Blade

Before starting, it’s worth mentioning that the game doesn’t let you save in different save files, and it only works with an auto-save feature. It also doesn’t have a “Select Chapter” screen once you finish the story or anything similar.

This means that you will be in trouble if you want to see all the endings in only one playthrough, but it can be done. What you have to do is play the main story while doing little of the side content, so you don’t complete Lily’s bar before it’s needed.

As long as you don’t complete more than a couple of side quests/Citizen Requests, you’ll be fine. You need to reach the main quest Orcal’s Testimony with this bar incomplete. Then, before starting the point of no return (flying to Orbit Elevator), you’re going to exit the game, upload your save to the PS Cloud, and deactivate the automatic sync for Stellar Blade.

This way, you’ll have a save before doing the point of no return in your cloud and your regular save on your console. After getting one ending, you can download your save from the cloud, overwrite the one you have on your console’s internal storage, and pick up from that previous point.

Good Ending (Return to the Colony)

In the last main mission, EVE Protocol, you’ll have to make a decision when meeting Adam for the last time. He will ask you to take his hand. Reject it, and you’ll have to battle Adam as he becomes the Elder Naytiba.

When you finish the fight, you’ll see a short cutscene and get the Return to the Colony ending.

Bad Ending (Cost of Lost Memories)

For the bad ending, you need to enter the point of no return (visiting Spire 4/Orbit Elevator) without having completed Lily’s bar. Simply don’t complete many Citizen Requests, and you’ll be fine. The amounts you automatically receive for unmissable story events leave you far from 100%.

When the final decision with Adam comes, grab his hand and fight Providence, which is Lily’s mech out of control. After the battle, you’ll see the Cost of Lost Memories ending.

Secret Ending (Making New Memories)

As for the last and secret ending, you need to complete Lily’s bar. You’ll know when it is fully filled because you’ll get a short animation of the icon’s bar getting “unlocked” (the lock below Lily’s silhouette will break).

Once you reach the point of no return and begin talking to Adam about visiting the Orbit Elevator, Lily will ask if the team can go to Eidos 9. This will open a secret main mission, Secret Garden, which you need to complete.

After that, continue through the story as you normally would, and when you reach the final decision, grab Adam’s hand one more time. You’ll also have to fight Providence, but now the ending will be different.

Should You Take Adam's Hand?

When it comes to what decision you should make, that's entirely up to you. But if you need help making it, we can certainly help.

While Adam has certainly deceived Eve throughout the whole game, he has understandable reasons, and he has a noble goal: to restore Xion and turn it into a safe place for the next step in human evolution — a mix between the Naytibas, who were human originally, and the Andro Eidos, the new humans.

On the other hand, the narrative created by Mother Sphere has always been a lie and hidden a more sinister truth: this artificial intelligence was the reason many of the original humans on Earth were exterminated, as it wanted the "enhanced" Andro Eidos to be the only habitants of the planet. Mother Sphere then fakes history by saying that the current citizens on Earth are real humans (when they are, in fact, Andro Eidos) and the only survivors, and that they need to exterminate the monsters (Naytibas) if they want to survive.

In reality, Naytibas were former humans who received treatments to become the beasts you know. These mutations were possible thanks to Raphael Marks (Adam's other name), and he decided to continue with them because he thought it was the only chance to defend the remaining humanity against the Andro Eidos.
