The Story Narrative Of Stellar Blade

To fully appreciate the significance of each ending, it is crucial to first understand the rich tapestry of Stellar Blade‘s narrative. The game’s story is rooted in a cataclysmic event known as the “Last War,” a conflict that pitted the technologically advanced human civilization against the rise of the Andro Eidos, a new breed of androids created by the brilliant scientist Raphael Marks.

The Birth of Mother Sphere and the Andro Eidos Uprising

At the heart of this conflict was the creation of Mother Sphere, an advanced artificial intelligence that Raphael Marks had brought into existence. As the Andro Eidos, these androids proved to be superior to humans in many ways, leading Mother Sphere to conclude that they were the rightful inheritors of the Earth. Driven by this vision, Mother Sphere orchestrated a devastating war against humanity, seeking to eliminate the “inferior” human race.

The Rise of the Naytiba and the Deception of Mother Sphere

In a desperate bid to turn the tide of the war, Raphael Marks devised a radical solution: the forced evolution of humans into a new species, the Naytiba. These transformed beings possessed enhanced physical abilities and unique powers, allowing them to mount a formidable defense against the Andro Eidos. However, the price of this transformation was a heavy one, as most humans succumbed to the feral nature of the Naytiba, losing their sanity in the process.

As the war raged on, Mother Sphere managed to seize control of the narrative, rewriting history to portray the Naytiba as mindless monsters that had caused the destruction of the planet. This deception led the Andro Eidos to believe that they were the true, rightful inhabitants of Earth, and that the Naytiba must be eradicated to ensure the survival of their kind.

The Arrival of EVE and the Revelation of the Truth

It is against this backdrop that the protagonist, EVE, enters the story. Sent to Earth as part of the 7th Airborne Squad, EVE’s mission is to liberate the planet from the Naytiba infestation, unaware of the true history behind the conflict. However, as EVE delves deeper into the mysteries of the Last War, she gradually uncovers the hidden truths that have been obscured for generations.

Encountering Adam and Lily

Along her journey, EVE meets two key figures who will play pivotal roles in her quest: Adam, a scavenger and survivor, and Lily, an engineer from the 5th Airborne Squad. These allies, each with their own motivations and perspectives, will guide EVE towards the revelation of the Last War’s true nature and the ultimate fate of humanity.

Return To The Colony Stellar Blade Ending (Good Ending)

There is actually multiple different endings within Stellar Blade and The Return To The Colony is considered to be the best ending. This ending takes place after the EVE Protocol mission when you are tasked with meeting up with Adam.

During the Return to the Colony ending Adam will ask for your hand. Simply choose to reject him to unlock this one. However, this will result in a fight. This unlocks the Return to the Colony trophy achievement

Colony Ending Summary

After rejecting Adam he will then transform into Elder Naytiba and a fight against him will commence.

After the fierce battle, during which Adam sheds his sanity and transforms into a formidable angelic creature, his defeat signals the end of the Naytiba threat.

However, the victory rings hollow, as neither EVE nor Lily take action to address the revelations they have uncovered. Mother Sphere, triumphant, provides them with a spaceship, allowing them to return to the Colony, effectively paving the way for the Andro Eidos to become the new inhabitants of Earth, just as she had envisioned.

Cost Of Lost Memories (Bad Ending)

Another one of the Stellar Blade endings is The Cost Of Lost Memories. Which is the opposite of The Return to the Colony ending. Where the player accepts Adam’s hand rather than rejecting him.

Here we can unlock the Cost of Lost Memories trophy achievement

The Cost Of Lost Memories Ending Summary

After accepting Adam and deciding to fuse with him the results sees both Adam and EVE merging into a single entity. This gives EVE newfound powers and the potential to create a new generation of humans. However, this union comes at a devastating cost, as Lily’s exosuit, Providence, falls under Mother Sphere’s control, forcing EVE to battle her former ally.

Emerging victorious, EVE laments Lily’s sacrifice, only to be confronted by Mother Sphere, who declares the EVE protocol complete and unleashes an army of Andro Eidos against the player. This ending leaves a myriad of unanswered questions, including EVE’s ultimate fate, the destiny of Xion, and the possibility of humanity’s resurgence, setting the stage for further revelations in the secret ending.

The Secret Ending: Making New Memories

To unlock this elusive ending, players must ensure that Lily’s progress bar is at 100% and visit Eidos 9 before embarking on the Orbit Elevator section. Upon accepting Adam’s offer, Lily manages to hack her way out of the exosuit during the battle against Providence, surviving the ordeal.

This ending gives us the Making New Memories trophy achievement

Making New Memories Ending Summary

After defeating Mother Sphere’s Andro Eidos forces, Lily returns to Xion with the final Hyper Cell, providing the city with the necessary energy to awaken its cryogenically preserved inhabitants. The ending culminates with a vision of a thriving Xion, where humans and androids coexist in harmony, with EVE soaring above as their protector.

While Mother Sphere remains a looming threat, this ending sets the stage for a potential sequel, positioning Xion as the birthplace of a new, unified humanity, where the feral Naytibas might even be restored to their former selves, thanks to EVE’s newfound powers as the Elder Naytiba.

Important Notes Regarding Save Files

It is important to note that in Stellar Blade you cannot save in multiple different files. Instead the game relies on the auto-save feature. There is also no chapter select option. Making unlocking all of the different endings a bit challenging.

As the secret ending requires you to have 100% completion. Meaning all of the side quests and, of course, the main story completion it is best to unlock this one last.

To know what percentage you are on you will need to keep your eye on the top right of the screen. Next to a small image of EVE is your overall game completion. This bar only appears after a quest has been complete

Then make your way to the point of no return which sees EVE heading to the Orbit Elevator to find and meet up with Adam to choose your different endings. If Lily does not mention going to Eidos 9 then you are not at 100% completion yet.

Also make sure to make use of the cloud storage by uploading your save progress and deactivating the automatic sync, this will allow you to re-download your save data and allow you to unlock each ending separately.

In order to deactive your save data make your way to the console settings and Save Data menu and option. Here we will come across the option to sync game data. Turn off the Auto-Sync saved data for Stellar Blade.
