PS5
Stellar Blade requires a clear separation between an exploration playthrough and one built around a different level of Lily’s progression. The three endings are not controlled solely by the last choice: two routes require different states of her bar. Complete side quests and collections during the first adventure, inspect both points-of-no-return warnings and use the next run for the opposite condition. Buying a subscription for a backup procedure is unnecessary: additional legitimate playthroughs can be planned while retaining what the game transfers to New Game+.
Base-game trophy roadmap. Expansions and additional trophy packs are not required for the platinum.
- Required difficulty: The platinum can be pursued on Story Mode.
- Missable trophies: Two points of no return and endings tied to Lily’s progression.
- Online: The route is offline.
Dedicate the first run to exploration and quests
Explore areas and advance Enya, Kaya and D1G-g2r’s stories while working on collections. This route also develops Lily’s involvement, making it suitable for the full-bar condition. Track her bar separately from ordinary story progression: reaching the same chapter does not prove that two playthroughs have the same Lily state.
- Finish side stories and inspect Lily’s bar.
Finish Xion before its lockout
After Abyss Levoire, the journey toward Spire 4 changes access to Xion’s content. Before confirming with Adam, review quests, requests and city items. A departure warning is an operational checkpoint rather than mere dialogue: pause, open the list and inspect anything that will not be easy to collect afterward.
- Inspect Xion quests and collections before leaving.
Separate target quantities from full completion
Can Collector requires every can, while other trophies use specific thresholds such as thirty Nano Suits or two hundred Data Bank entries. Follow each requirement: a complete collection is not always necessary, but an all-items category cannot be finished by reaching an approximate threshold. Organize fishing, boxes and upgrades too, avoiding purchases or detours without a clear goal.
- Read which categories require everything and which require a threshold.
Rotate combat tools before the final area
Before permanently leaving explorable zones, inspect kills using Beta Skills, Burst Skills, Tachy Mode and ranged attacks. These are separate counters: a long run of sword victories does not automatically complete the others. Dedicate short sessions to one tool at a time and inspect progress rather than leaving every counter to the final fights.
- Inspect counters for the different combat abilities.
Plan endings before the last choice
Making New Memories and Cost of Lost Memories require different Lily conditions. Read the final choice together with the preceding route: do not expect a save near the boss to erase all bar progression. Return to the Colony is another outcome to record. Plan the needed playthroughs without assuming external backups will be used.
- Record Lily’s state and the intended ending before the choice.
Use New Game+ for the opposite condition
New Game+ preserves several forms of progress while restarting the adventure and allowing a new Lily route. If pursuing the ending tied to an incomplete bar, avoid automatically repeating every side activity from the first run. Inspect recorded items and trophy groups: Repeating Protocols and Infinite Blade belong to the additional New Game+ content rather than the base platinum.
- Plan Lily’s second-run bar rather than repeating everything out of habit.

Frequently asked questions
Can every ending be earned by changing only the last choice?
No. Two outcomes also depend on different Lily progression states. Plan separate playthroughs for those conditions.
Is PS Plus required to complete the endings?
No. Cloud backup is optional; outcomes can be earned through subsequent in-game playthroughs without purchasing a service for the procedure.
Are New Game+ trophies mandatory for the base platinum?
Repeating Protocols and Infinite Blade are in an additional group. New Game+ is nevertheless useful for recovering missing collections and endings.
