Stellar Blade: full platinum guide step by step

«Activated the first Camp.» · Camp Preparation

Activate the first Camp in Eidos 7, just before the first boss. 90.0% have it.

To activate a Camp you use the coin lying on the ground in front of it. Resting at a Camp respawns the enemies in the area: that is what later lets you farm the combat counters and skill points without crossing half the map.

«Defeated Abaddon.» · Abaddon

Defeat Abaddon, the first real boss, on top of the parking garage in Eidos 7. 76.1% have it.

Its attacks can be guarded comfortably, so it is a good place to learn the timings before risking a Perfect Parry. The striking figure: between the first Camp (90.0%) and this boss, 13.9 points are lost, the biggest drop on the whole list.

«Defeated Corrupter.» · Corrupter

Defeat the Corrupter in Eidos 7, right after picking up the area’s Hyper Cell. 68.6% have it.

It is a simple boss with heavily telegraphed attacks. The only thing that punishes you is the poison: back off when it winds it up instead of standing there guarding.

«Defeated Gigas.» · Gigas

Defeat Gigas inside the crater at the end of Eidos 7. 65.6% have it.

It is the game’s first Alpha Naytiba and closes the first long chapter. After it Xion opens up, and with it the side stories that are lost for that playthrough if you move on past Abyss Levoire without doing them.

«Retrieved the Hyper Cell from Altess Levoire.» · Altess Levoire

Retrieve the Hyper Cell from Altess Levoire, after the boss guarding it at the end of the area. 59.6% have it.

Category

No

Unlocked by

59.60% of players

In Altess Levoire the sword is disabled: only ranged attacks are left. Everything you kill here counts towards Cold-blooded Sniper, so do not avoid the fights. There are no collectible cans in this area.

«Defeated Stalker.» · Stalker

Defeat the Stalker, the first boss of Matrix 11, as you enter the Rail Yard. 55.8% have it.

Category

Story

Missable

No

Unlocked by

55.80% of players

The catch: not all of its attacks can be guarded or parried. The ones with a yellow indicator must be dodged; trying to block them is the usual way to die here. Beating it opens up Burst Skills, which Relentless Destroyer needs.

«Defeated Juggernaut.» · Juggernaut

Defeat the Juggernaut at the bottom of the giant cargo elevator in the same area. 55.1% have it.

Category

It is slow but every hit takes a big chunk: dodge rather than guard and punish after each combo. It is a good moment to rack up Perfect Dodges for Battlefield Martial Artist.

«Defeated Tachy.» · Tachy

Defeat Tachy on reaching the Contaminated Water Purification Plant, the last boss of that area. 54.7% have it.

Category

Story

Missable

No

Unlocked by

54.70% of players

She is an Alpha Naytiba with two phases. In the first, attacks with a yellow indicator must be dodged; in the second, the blue and purple indicators let you counter if you dodge them well. Shortly after, the story unlocks Tachy Mode, which is what the hidden trophy Revenging Agent asks for.

«Retrieved the Hyper Cell from Abyss Levoire.» · Abyss Levoire

Retrieve the Hyper Cell from Abyss Levoire after the boss at the end of the area. 50.4% have it.

Category

50.40% of players

This is the first point of no return. When you return to Xion and talk to Adam to move on, the city closes for that playthrough, along with its cans, its collectibles and the Kaya and Enya and Su stories. The game warns you; say no until everything is done. As in Altess Levoire, there is no sword and no cans here.

«Defeated Belial.» · Belial

Defeat Belial at the end of the Space Center. 45.2% have it.

Category

Story

Missable

No

Unlocked by

45.20% of players

From here on the bosses step up a lot. Belial has three health bars that must be emptied in a row without dying; once the third is gone, the rail gun finisher is automatic and asks for a quick-time prompt.

«Defeated Karakuri.» · Karakuri

Defeat the Karakuri in the same area, after Belial. 44.8% have it.

Category

No

If you are slow, it summons support enemies: kill them as soon as they appear or they overwhelm you. Its attacks are well telegraphed, so the fight is mostly about rhythm.

«Defeated Demogorgon.» · Demogorgon

Defeat the Demogorgon at the end of the station, the last boss of that area. 44.6% have it.

Category

Story

Missable

No

Unlocked by

44.60% of players

The fight is about aiming the rail gun: shoot the big eyes. And on your way back comes the second point of no return: once you follow Lily to the final area, there is no way back to any map. Before that step you need every combat counter and every collectible except the last Camps and Naytiba data, which are in the final area.

«Defeated Raven.» · Raven

Defeat Raven in the duel in the Wasteland, right at the gates of the final area. 43.1% have it.

Category

Story

No

Unlocked by

43.10% of players

As with Tachy, watch the colour of the warning: yellow must be dodged, the rest can be guarded or parried. It is the last trophy before the endings, and the figure says it all: 43.1% get this far and only 9.4% earn the platinum.

«Defeated Brute.» · Brute

Defeat the Brute in Cyrus’s side quest. 48.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

48.60% of players

Cyrus is in Xion, down the stairs to the bar, and the quest opens on your second visit to the city, after the Altess Levoire Hyper Cell. He sends you to look for a missing scavenger in a pit in the Wasteland, where the boss is waiting. It is lost for that playthrough if you talk to Adam to move on after Abyss Levoire without having done it.

«Defeated Behemoth.» · Behemoth

Defeat the Behemoth in Kaya’s second quest, which sends you to the Great Desert to look for her sister. 40.8% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

40.80% of players

The hidden requirement: the quest only appears with Kaya’s shop at affinity level 2 — buy anything from her until it goes up —, her first quest done and after returning from Tachy’s area. Beating it and going back to Kaya also pops Sisterly Love. It is lost for that playthrough after the first point of no return.

«Completed Enya and Su's story.» · Beyond Fate

Complete Enya and Su’s three quests in Xion. 35.5% have it, the lowest of the character stories.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

35.50% of players

The reason is the chain: the first opens once you can roam Xion freely, the second after handing in the second Hyper Cell, and the third requires having reached the Great Desert and finished D1G-g2r’s story first (Beep!). Do the drone’s story first and do not go past Abyss Levoire without closing this one: it is lost for that playthrough.

«Completed Kaya's story.» · Sisterly Love

Complete Kaya’s two quests, the scavenger in Xion. 40.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

40.60% of players

She gives you the first herself when you meet her at her shop during the story. The second is the Behemoth one, and it requires raising her shop to affinity 2 by buying materials. That is why this trophy and Behemoth pop almost together (40.6% and 40.8%). It is lost for that playthrough if you continue the story after Abyss Levoire without finishing it.

«Completed D1G-g2r's story.» · Beep!

Complete D1G-g2r’s two quests, the drone in the Wasteland. 38.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

38.60% of players

The first starts on its own as you explore the north of the Wasteland: you have to dig him out from under the scrap. He then opens his shop, and the second only appears with that shop at affinity 2. In it you activate three computers, one in the Wasteland, one in Xion and one in the Great Desert. Do it early: Enya and Su’s third quest depends on it.

«Achieved Return to the Colony ending.» · Return to the Colony

In the final conversation with Adam, do not take his hand. 24.7% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

24.70% of players

Refusing his offer always leads to this ending, whatever Lily’s bar says, and it also unlocks the last three Naytiba entries that Naytiba Researcher needs. The game only has one autosave: if you win the last fight first time you can reload and pick the other option, but if you die you cannot. That is why you should upload a copy to the PS Plus cloud at the last Camp before talking to Adam.

«Achieved Cost of Lost Memories ending.» · Cost of Lost Memories

Take Adam’s hand in the final conversation with Lily’s progress bar below 100%. It is the rarest trophy on the list: 13.8% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

13.80% of players

The bar rises as you pick up Memorysticks and documents and complete side quests, and there is no menu to check it in: it only pops up when you pick up some collectibles. The tell is in the story: if after Abyss Levoire Lily does not suggest going to Eidos 9, you are on track for this ending. The sensible way is to do it in New Game +, where the bar resets to zero: follow the story only and pick nothing up.

«Achieved Making New Memories ending.» · Making New Memories

Take Adam’s hand in the final conversation with Lily’s bar at 100%. 31.8% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

31.80% of players

The bar fills with Memorysticks, documents and side quests; when Lily’s icon flashes white and stops showing a percentage, it is full. Confirmation comes after Abyss Levoire: when you pick the next destination with Adam, Lily interrupts to ask to go to Eidos 9. Go: without that visit there is no ending, and it also holds Camps and Naytibas that two other trophies require.

«Enhanced 10 Exospines to their max.» · Perfect Exospine

Upgrade 10 Exospines to max out of the 12 in the game. 27.0% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

27.00% of players

Each Exospine has three tiers and is upgraded with Nano Elements of three grades plus gold; they drop from boxes and enemies and are sold in shops. D1G-g2r sells the materials in exchange for the parts mechanical enemies drop. The advice: do not spend everything on the first run, because New Game + adds Mk2 versions that are stronger, and the trophy counts just the same with them.

«Enhanced Blood Edge to its max.» · Perfect Blood Edge

Upgrade the Blood Edge to max: 15 upgrades at the Repair Consoles in large Camps or in Xion. 40.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

40.60% of players

Weapon Cores mostly come from bosses. The catch: two Damaged Weapon Cores trade for a whole one in D1G-g2r’s shop, and once he runs out, those trades can only be made on another playthrough. If you are short at the end, the trophy is finished in New Game +.

«Enhanced the Rechargeable Tumbler to its max.» · Perfect Rechargeable Tumbler

Upgrade the Rechargeable Tumbler to max: five upgrades at a Repair Console. 33.9% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

33.90% of players

The material is almost always carried by small relic bots that flee as soon as you get close: if you do not catch them, it is gone until you return. Scan your surroundings often to spot them before they spot you. Like the other upgrades, it can be finished in New Game +.

«Enhanced HP to its max.» · Perfect Physical Enhancement

Upgrade HP to max: the trophy pops after six upgrades. 28.0% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

28.00% of players

Each upgrade takes three to five Body Cores, hidden in out-of-the-way corners of the maps; scanning reveals them. The six upgrades count on any playthrough, so whatever you do not finish on the first is completed in New Game +.

«Enhanced Beta Energy to its max.» · Perfect Beta Energy Enhancement

Upgrade Beta Energy to max: again, six upgrades. 28.0% have it, exactly the same as the HP one.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

28.00% of players

It works the same way: three to five Beta Cores per upgrade, hidden around the maps and revealed by scanning. That tie at 28.0% says people do them together: whoever hunts one kind of core finds the other. It can be finished in New Game +.

«Learned all skills.» · Thorough Technician

Learn all 96 skills of the normal game. 22.5% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

22.50% of players

The 12 added by New Game + are not needed: they have their own trophy. Points come from killing enemies, quests and collectibles, and Training Gear increases them. If you are short at the end, there is a good spot by the Space Center Camp (Belial’s area): go into the next room, through the big door on the left, clear it and rest so everything respawns.

«Perfect Dodged 200 enemy attacks.» · Battlefield Martial Artist

Pull off 200 Perfect Dodges. 46.4% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

46.40% of players

First you need to buy the Perfect Dodge skill in the Survival tree. The catch that confuses people: normal dodges and the special Blink and Repulse dodges do not count, only Perfect Dodges, the ones that slow the action down with red sparks. The Reflex-Type Exospine, from Tachy’s area, widens the window. The counter carries over to New Game +.

«Perfect Parried 300 enemy attacks.» · Agile Gladiator

Pull off 300 Perfect Parries. 50.2% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

50.20% of players

Mind the difference: a normal parry also negates damage, but only the perfect one counts, the one with bigger yellow sparks and a distinct sound. A Survival skill widens the window and the Reflex-Type Exospine widens it further. On Story difficulty, Action Assist slows some combos down and flags the moment. The counter carries over to New Game +.

«Defeated 50 enemies by execution.» · Silent Executioner

Kill 50 enemies by execution. 45.7% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

45.70% of players

The practical way is the Ambush: buy that skill in the Attack tree, sneak up behind an enemy that has not spotted you and finish it in one hit. Attacks from above also count and are available by default, but you will use them far less. Make the most of every idle group before a fight starts. The counter carries over to New Game +.

«Defeated 100 enemies with Beta Skills.» · Naytiba Hunter

Kill 100 enemies with Beta Skills. 54.8% have it, the highest of the combat counters.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

54.80% of players

The catch: the killing blow has to be a Beta Skill; weakening an enemy with one and finishing it with the sword does not count. If you are short, use an area Beta Skill in the Wasteland against groups of weak enemies and rest at the Camp to respawn them. The counter carries over to New Game +.

«Defeated 50 enemies with Burst Skills.» · Relentless Destroyer

Kill 50 enemies with Burst Skills. 30.5% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

30.50% of players

They unlock after beating the Stalker, but none come by default: you have to buy them in their tree, and plenty of people reach the end without ever using them. The gauge charges with Perfect Dodges and special dodges. As with Beta Skills, it only counts if the skill lands the kill; on Wasteland groups with a Camp rest it goes quickly. The counter carries over to New Game +.

«Defeated 50 enemies in Tachy Mode.» · Revenging Agent

Kill 50 enemies in Tachy Mode. It is a hidden trophy and only 13.9% have it, fewer than any collectible.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

13.90% of players

Tachy Mode is triggered by pressing L3 and R3 together with its gauge full, which charges as you fight. While it lasts you take no damage, but every hit you take drains it faster. To farm it: fill the gauge, gather several weak enemies in the Wasteland, trigger it, switch it off manually when done so you do not waste the charge, and rest at the Camp. The counter carries over to New Game +.

«Defeated 150 enemies with ranged attacks.» · Cold-blooded Sniper

Kill 150 enemies with ranged attacks. 49.7% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

49.70% of players

Lily gives you ranged attacks just before you head into the Wasteland for the first time. No need to force it: in Altess Levoire and Abyss Levoire the sword does not work and everything you kill there is at range. Finish off stragglers with shots along the way and it will come on its own. The counter carries over to New Game +.

«Defeated 1,500 enemies.» · Cruel Liberator

Kill 1,500 enemies in total. 39.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

39.60% of players

The counter is cumulative and carries over to New Game +, so the second run adds to it. If you reach the final area without it, remember there are no normal enemies after that point: farm it beforehand, in the room just past the Space Center Camp (Belial’s area), through the big door on the left, resting at the Camp to respawn everything.

«Collected all cans.» · Can Collector

Collect all 49 cans. 20.3% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

20.30% of players

The vending machine in Xion keeps count of the ones you have and hands out rewards in tiers; can 49 gives a Nano Suit. There are no cans in Altess Levoire, Abyss Levoire or Eidos 9. The risk is in Xion: the city’s cans are lost for that playthrough as soon as you pass the first point of no return. Collected cans carry over to New Game +, so a slip can be fixed on the second run.

«Acquired 30 Nano Suits.» · Nano Suit Collector

Get 30 Nano Suits. 34.5% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

34.50% of players

There are well over 30, and many are bought from shops in Xion; the rest come from boxes and quest rewards, such as the one for all 49 cans or the one for catching every fish. Some need materials that Kaya sells in her shop. The suits are purely cosmetic, so buy the cheap ones first: nobody asks which ones you have.

«Collected 200 Data Bank entries (Memorysticks, Documents, or Passcodes).» · Records Collector

Gather 200 Data Bank entries across Memorysticks, documents and passcodes. 40.7% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

40.70% of players

You do not need them all: there are at least 50% more than the trophy asks for, so exploring thoroughly and scanning your surroundings often, which reveals them, is enough. The catch: each one counts only once; picking it up again in New Game + adds nothing. And since Memorysticks and documents fill Lily’s bar, this trophy belongs to the first playthrough.

«Caught 20 different fish.» · Lonely Fisherman

Catch 20 different species out of the 25 in the game. 24.6% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

24.60% of players

Fishing opens with the quest from Clyde, who is fishing at the oasis in the Great Desert; his shop then sells bait and the fishing manuals you need for the big fish. Before you start, turn on the accessibility option that replaces the fishing controls: it swaps button mashing for holding. The five species of slack let you skip the hardest ones.

«Opened 200 boxes.» · Box Hunter

Open 200 boxes. 32.2% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

32.20% of players

There are far more than 200, so there is no need to chase them all: practically any sealed container that opens counts. The game does not track boxes per area, so follow the progress in the trophy menu. And as with records, only boxes you had not opened count: reopening the same ones in New Game + adds nothing. Opening boxes does not fill Lily’s bar.

«Got information on all Naytibas.» · Naytiba Researcher

Get data on all 67 Naytiba types; killing each type once is enough. 21.0% have it.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

21.00% of players

It is one of the trickiest because it depends on the endings: some enemies only appear in Eidos 9, which you only visit with Lily’s bar at 100%, and three entries are tied to the Return to the Colony ending. Before entering the final area you should be at 63 of 67; the rest come there and with that ending.

«Activated all Camps.» · Meticulous Explorer

Activate all 89 Camps. 16.6% have it, the third rarest of everything that counts towards the platinum.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

16.60% of players

The game does not flag which ones you are missing, and that is the problem. On top of that, Eidos 9 has Camps of its own, so it is only possible on the playthrough with Lily’s bar at 100%. Before entering the final area you should be at 87; the last two are there and come as you progress. Activate them all as you pass and use a per-area location guide.

«Completed New Game +.» · Repeating Protocols

Complete a New Game +. 14.7% have it, and it does not count towards the platinum: it is one of the two trophies in the New Game + group.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

14.70% of players

It fits naturally into the normal route: the second run, the one that rushes the story without picking anything up for Cost of Lost Memories, is a New Game +. Any difficulty works and in this mode cutscenes can be skipped. All gear, skills and trophy counters carry over.

«Learned all skills in New Game +.» · Infinite Blade

Learn the 12 new New Game + skills. 14.4% have it and it does not count towards the platinum.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

14.40% of players

They sit at the end of the Beta and Burst trees and cost 6 points each. The catch: those two trees cannot be reset, but the other three can, with the SP reset item sold at Camps, which gets you a good part of what you need. The rest is farmed by resting at a Camp with enemies nearby; Training Gear, sold by Kaya, increases the points you earn.

«Acquired all trophies.» · EVE Protocol

Earn the other 42 base-game trophies. 9.4% have it. The two New Game + trophies sit in a separate group and do not count towards the platinum.

Category

Other

Missable

No

Unlocked by

9.40% of players

You need two playthroughs: the Making New Memories and Cost of Lost Memories endings depend on Lily’s progress bar and exclude each other. The comfortable route is to do everything on the first run (bar at 100%) and rush the story in New Game + without picking anything up. The wall is that second ending: 13.8% have it, fewer than any other trophy. Between 40 and 60 hours, and no trophy depends on difficulty.
