Stellar Blade Trophy Guide, Trophy List & Platinum Roadmap

This guide explains a recommended route to earn Stellar Blade trophies and covers the three endings. Do as much side-content, collectible gathering, and questing as possible on a first playthrough if you want the 100% Lily ending (Making New Memories). If you prefer fewer runs, you can aim for two playthroughs using cloud save backups at the Nest before the final encounter to swap endings; otherwise expect three runs. Main points:

• Lily’s affinity (Memorysticks, Documents, cans, and many side quests) determines two of the endings: full 100% = Making New Memories; under 100% and accepting the hand = Cost of Lost Memories. Denying the hand yields Return to the Colony and ignores Lily’s bar.
• Finish everything available in Xion before progressing past the Abyss Levoire story beat; Xion content (collectibles, some sidequests) becomes inaccessible afterwards.
• New Game+ carries equipment, upgrades, items, SP and skills but resets mission progress and world collectibles; cumulative counters for many trophies persist across playthroughs.
• Use Camps to rest and skill/weapon shops to upgrade. Some trophies and quest chains are missable if you advance the story too far without completing their prerequisites.

Recommended stages:

• Stage 1: Complete main missions up through the Abyss Levoire return, then clean up Xion (collect cans, finish sidequests tied to Lily and quest chains) before talking to Adam.
• Stage 2: Continue to Spire 4 and defeat Demogorgon. At the Nest, create a cloud save if you plan to swap endings later. Decide whether you want to 1) have cleared everything possible or 2) focused strictly on story.
• Stage 3: Use New Game+ to finish any remaining trophies quickly (max upgrades, skill trees, and cumulative kill/skill-use requirements). Choose the final ending as needed; cloud save swapping can allow you to obtain both hand choices without a third full run.
• Stage 4 (optional): If you still need Return to the Colony and cannot cloud-restore, run a third playthrough and deny the hand.

Notes:

• Difficulty does not affect trophies.
• Some collectibles and region-specific enemies are only available in Eidos 9 or are tied to specific endings; missing those can make certain trophies missable.
• Track cumulative counters (kills, executions, skill kills, box openings, fish caught, nano suits) across playthroughs and plan which actions to grind in NG+ if needed.
