Stellar Blade
Stellar Blade is a third-person sci-fi action game with some puzzles, platforming, and RPG elements, developed by Shift Up and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The combat focuses on understanding the enemy’s attack patterns, and using precise timing to successfully parry or dodge attacks, while using a variety of fighting combos. The game also includes customization of the player-character, including various upgrades and outfits.
In the far future, humanity has been forced to evacuate Earth and live in the Colony in orbit, after it has been taken over by monstrous creatures known as the Naytibas. In an effort to retake the planet, Eve joins her squad and head to Earth to fight the Naytibas. After the squad faces disaster, Eve is rescued by a scavenger named Adam and takes her to the last surviving human city named Xion. Eve continues on her mission to save humanity and take back Earth from the Naytibas.
Stellar Blade received positive reviews with an average score of 82%, praised for its impressive visuals, unique soundtrack, and battle mechanics, though criticized by some for its characters and story. It has also received some controversy among Western critics who accuse the game of “oversexualizing” the main character.
There are no difficulty-related trophies, and so the game can be played on Easy mode. While this is still no cakewalk, and a few boss battles may require a couple replays, completing the game is certainly doable for any average gamer. However, the platinum does require a minimum of two playthroughs, and there are plenty of collectibles to search for. Overall, this is a fairly average platinum in terms of difficulty with a little time required.
Expect roughly around 60 hours of gameplay for this platinum.
The game has no difficulty-related trophies, so feel free to play on Storymode (easy). This is still no cakewalk, and will continue to be a fun challenge to the gameplay.
There are three trophies for each of the three different endings. Two of these endings require a full playthrough with all side-quests completed, and most collectibles found. However, a save can be made before the final boss which, after completing the first ending, can be reloaded to get the second. The third ending can be a speed-run.
More specifically, the first two endings require a 100% trust by the character Lily. By finding collectibles and doing side-quests, this percentage gradually increases. The third ending requires less than 100% trust, which means avoid finding collectibles and side-quests. The good news is, Shift Up has added a New Game+ with two extra trophies. This means that doing a speed-run for the third ending on New Game+ will also knock out these two extra trophies.
The three ending-related trophies and their requirements are as follows:
The Return To The Colony trophy requires 100% trust with Lily, and select “Do NOT take the hand” at the ending’s option.
The Making New Memories trophy also requires 100% trust with Lily, and select “Take the hand” at the ending’s option.
Finally, the Cost Of Lost Memories trophy you to have LESS than 100%, and select “Take the hand” at the ending’s option.
Lastly, in order to get one ending, then reload and get the second ending, the Auto-Sync Saved Data on your PS5 must be switched off. To do this, go to Settings, then Saved Data and Game/App Settings, then Saved Data (PS5), then Sync Saved Data, then Auto-Sync Saved Data (Enabled), then scroll down to Stellar Blade and toggle the switch off. This will allow you to make a save before the final boss, get the first ending, then reload your save to get the second ending. Otherwise, you will have to do another 100% completion playthrough.
Now, when going for the 100% completion playthrough in order to unlock the first two endings, it should be noted that there are two points of no return. The first is when you are given the option to visit the Orbital Elevator. After this event, you will no longer be able to visit the Xion location. The second point of no return is when you are given the option to “follow the bike signal and leave.” This is because you are about the complete the game, and therefore all other areas will be inaccessible.
With all that in mind, the strategy we recommend is first going through the 100% completion playthrough and get the two endings, then play on New Game+ and speedrun to get the third ending.
Begin by playing up until the first point of no return (before choosing to visit the Orbital Elevator – which will lock you out of Xion). This means completing all the side-quests, and finding all the cans and other collectibles in Xion. If done correctly and you have gotten 100% trust from Lily, she will request first heading to a new location called Spire 4.
After visiting both Spire 4 and the Orbital Elevator, you will now be locked out of Xion. However, you can still visit the other locations. Before the second point of no return (follow the bike signal and leave) make sure to do everything else. This means, finding all the cans, all the fishing, and all the combat-related trophies. At this point, the only outstanding miscellaneous trophies should be Naytiba Researcher (63/67) and Meticulous Explorer (87/89) as these will be unlocked on your last route to the final boss. Also, be sure to toggle off the Auto-Sync Saved Data, and make a save at Xion before selecting to follow the bike signal and leave.
Once you’re ready, select to follow the bike signal and leave. You will be given the option to either “take the hand” or “refuse the hand.” Select either one, and play until the end of the game.
Next, reload your save, revisit the boss, and this time select the opposite option in order to get the second ending.
After the credits, select to play on New Game+. All your stats and equipment will carry over, making for a rather easy replay. This time, avoid doing any side-quests, and avoid picking up any memories from fallen soldiers or humans, as you want your trust level with Lily to be under 100%. Simply play through the story. At the final boss, select the option to “take the hand,” and you should get the final trophy, Cost Of Lost Memories, as well as the platinum trophy.
