Shift Up’s Stellar Blade has captivated players with its seamless fusion of combat mastery and immersive storytelling. Step into Eve’s armored boots as she battles to liberate Earth from extinction-level threats, where in-game actions directly shape humanity’s fate across multiple narrative conclusions.
This guide explores all possible conclusions in Stellar Blade, detailing unlock requirements for each finale. Central to these outcomes are critical decisions about coexistence, sacrifice, and the definition of humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.
Understanding Stellar Blade’s Narrative Conclusions
Players can experience three distinct conclusions:
- Making New Memories
- Return to the Colony
- Cost of Lost Memories
Each outcome requires specific conditions tied to Lily’s rapport and pivotal choices during the Selection of Species mission. These endings are mutually exclusive per playthrough.
Forging New Beginnings
The optimal conclusion demands:
- Maximize rapport with Lily through side missions
- Accept Adam’s alliance proposal
- Confront the transformed Adam/Naytiba hybrid
Completing these steps rewards players with the ‘Making New Memories’ achievement, depicting Eve and Lily forging a hopeful path as hybrid beings.
Rebuilding Society
To achieve this hopeful outcome:
- Reject Adam’s proposition
- Defeat Adam’s Naytiba form
This path preserves Eve’s humanity and halts the hybridization process, offering a traditional hero’s victory against overwhelming odds.
Sacrifice of Identity
Conditions for this tragic conclusion:
- Maintain Lily’s affinity below maximum
- Accept Adam’s merger offer
This path triggers the EVE Protocol, sacrificing Lily to create a hybrid entity. Players face Providence as the final antagonist in this bleak resolution.
Optimal Narrative Path
While each conclusion offers narrative closure, “Making New Memories” provides the most satisfying balance of character survival and thematic resolution. This path reconciles humanity’s past with its potential future, allowing both Eve and Lily to define their destinies beyond their programming.
