Quest Overview
The “Xion, the Last Remaining City” main quest in Stellar Blade is the third primary mission, guiding EVE, Adam, and Lily to the central hub of Xion. This quest involves meeting key plot figures like Orcal, activating the Hyper Drive, and exploring Xion, which opens up side quests and introduces important merchants. The main objectives include following Adam and Lily into the city, visiting the Presence Chamber, inserting the Hyper Cell into the Hyper Drive, locating Sisters’ Junk, and returning to the Safehouse to talk to Adam.
Arrival and Presence Chamber
Upon the cutscene’s conclusion, EVE, Adam, and Lily will land at a Safehouse situated outside Xion. Before proceeding, a Camp is available behind you, with the shop and skill settings device functional. The game will also notify you that the option to change Lily’s and Adam’s outfits is unlocked, though only their default attire is available initially. Follow Adam and Lily into the city center. As you progress, the characters will comment on the inhabitants’ avoidance.
Once in the city center, the party will move left, entering what appears to be a subway station. Descend the stairs and continue forward to a wagon lift. Utilize this lift to reach a lower floor, where another Camp is directly in front of you. Proceed along the path to the left, where you’ll encounter two guardians. Interact with Rael, one of the guardians, to gain access.
The subsequent scene takes place within the Presence Chamber. Here, you will meet Orcal, the prophet and elder of Xion, who is highly regarded by the city’s inhabitants. The party will present the Alpha Core to Orcal. He will then explain the necessity of defeating the Elder Naytiba, the leader of the creatures, which requires gathering three additional Alpha Cores to form the Master Core.
Hyper Drive and City Exploration
After regaining control, follow Adam to the left side of the room to enter the Hyper Drive room. You must insert the Hyper Cell obtained from the Hall of Records in Eidos 7. It will be revealed that three more Hyper Cells are needed, as each contributes to the well-being of the city’s people. Return to Orcal, where you will meet Mann, his bodyguard.
Once conversations are complete, you will find yourself back at the subway station. Return to the city center, and Adam will instruct you to find something. Your next destination is Sisters’ Junk. At this point, Citizen’s Requests, which are the game’s side quests, become available. From your current position, move forward and speak to the man on your right, standing on a pillar near the Cafe. He will provide you with a map. This map can be activated by swiping up on the DualSense touchpad or by accessing the “Map” tab in the menu. The map displays all available objectives, allowing you to track one main and one side quest. Pink bag icons indicate stores, while exclamation marks denote the start of side quests and other events.
This marks a significant opening in Stellar Blade’s gameplay. From this point until a later stage in the game, you are free to accept and complete Citizen Requests at your leisure; they will not be lost or blocked. You can accumulate these quests and complete them as you are able. Additionally, you can explore for collectibles such as cans and dresses. For instance, you can visit the Bulletin Board, marked with a chat icon on the map, which hosts simpler citizen requests. To the right of the Bulletin Board, Roxanne offers information, dresses, and other items.
Sisters’ Junk and Return to Safehouse
To advance the main objective, proceed to Sisters’ Junk, located on the west side of Xion. Speak with Kaya, the owner, who will provide the Propulsion Control Board Adam requested. She will also initiate “The Scavenger’s Story” side quest. A Document titled “The Lost 72 Years 2” can be found on a table to Kaya’s left.
If you encounter a Payphone nearby, interact with it. This action activates fast travel points throughout Xion and its surrounding areas. When you have finished exploring and are ready to continue the story, return to the location of your teammates and the Tetrapod, on the southeast side of Xion. Before reaching the Safehouse, a rope next to the bridge leading to Xion can be used. This path leads to a Gold Box containing resources, and a can is also located beyond it. A Supply Box, “Below the Bridge to Xion,” can be found here.
While returning, you can also find the Document “Notes on EVE Protocol 1” to the right of the bridge leading to the ship. Upon reaching the Safehouse, a cutscene will play, during which Lily will provide an upgrade, the Ranged Attack, and unlock the Drone tab in the Repair Console. This completes the “Xion, the Last Remaining City” main quest.
