Alright folks, settle in. Today was all about hunting down every single outfit for Eve, Lily, Adam, and even the drone in Stellar Blade. Wanted a complete collection, you know? Here’s how the grind went down.
Starting Point: Knowing What I Was Hunting For
First things first, I fired up the game and realized that outfits? They aren’t just lying around. Eve’s Nano Suits, Lily’s looks, Adam’s gear, the drone’s skins – they come from everywhere. Shops, exploration, beating bosses, doing side stuff… it’s a proper scavenger hunt.
Step One: Grabbing the Easy Pickings
Started simple:
- The Basic Starters: Obviously played through the intro missions. Boom, Eve’s first Nano Suit and Adam’s standard gear were just handed out. Drone looked pretty default too. Lily showed up later, rocking her initial look.
- Cash is King: Headed straight for Xion whenever I could. Scoured every corner and beat up enough nasties to get cash. Hit up those clothing shops hard. Spent good money on a few basic Nano Suits for Eve and some color variations. Saw Lily gear too, but way too expensive early on! Marked those for later.
- Talking Pays Off: Made sure I talked to absolutely EVERYONE. Seriously, every NPC with a name. Some folks in Xion, after you help ’em out or just chat ’em up, straight up give you outfits. Got a neat Nano Suit for Eve just for listening to some guy’s problems.
- Secret Spots: Kept my eyes glued to the scanner. Whenever it beeped, I went off the beaten path. Found some containers tucked away behind rubble or up high on ledges I needed the drone to unlock. Popped ’em open – sometimes it was crafting junk, but sometimes? Boom, new outfit piece or a whole Drone skin!
The Middle Slog: Hunting the Exclusives
This is where the real effort kicked in:
- Side Quest Spree: Stopped rushing the main story cold turkey. Focused entirely on those yellow question marks. Man, some of those quests are LONG! Delivered packages, tracked down missing folks, killed specific monsters… But the rewards? Definitely worth it. Knocked out a bunch of quest chains for Roxanne, the tech guys, others… each finale usually gave a unique Nano Suit or Lily outfit. Adam’s special hacker-looking gear? That came from doing stuff for him.
- Beating Bosses Properly: Before tackling any major story bosses, I hit the pause menu. Scrolled down to the rewards section – saw that Nano Suit listed as a completion reward? Made damn sure I fought clean and won. No way was I missing those! Boss rematches in the VR place count too, learned that later.
- Clearing Zones: Made it my mission to get 100% on every area the map could show. That meant finding all the data pads, scanning all enemies, opening every single container I could physically reach. Tedious? Yep. But those zone completion rewards? Often unique Drone skins or rare color palettes.
The Grind: Farming for Specific Drops
Got down to the last few, the nasty ones:
- Checklist Time: Pulled up my collections menu constantly. Used it like a shopping list. Eve’s suits? Check. Drone skins? Almost. Lily? Missing that fancy pink one. Adam? Got his.
- Monster Mash (The Tedious Part): Had two or three outfits where I needed rare drops from specific nasty creatures. Think big brutes or flying nightmares in the later deserts. Saved right before encountering them. Fought, killed… no drop? Reloaded. Fought, killed… still no drop? Reloaded again. Rinse and repeat for what felt like hours until finally seeing that sweet, sweet item pop up after a kill. Felt like winning the lottery, kinda.
Final Tally and Checking
When the dust settled, I went into Eve’s closet, Lily’s wardrobe (when I could access her), and the Drone customization menu. Scrolled through. Every slot filled? Yes. Checked my key items to see if Adam’s special outfits were accounted for? All there.
Real Talk: The Takeaways
- Cash is CRUCIAL: Can’t stress this enough. Visit Xion shops often. Sell junk. Buy those outfits as soon as you have the cash.
- Talk is NOT Cheap: Seriously, talk to everyone, multiple times. Especially after major story beats. Free outfits are the best outfits.
- Side Quests > Main Story: For gear? Absolutely. The main story gives some, but the best and most unique stuff comes from helping folks on the side.
- Be a Completionist: Scan everything. Open everything. Get that zone percentage up. It pays off in drip.
- Save Before Bosses & Rare Mobs: Save scumming feels cheesy, but if you want all outfits without replaying the entire game a dozen times? Yeah, you might need to do it for those super rare monster drops.
- Check Collections RELIGIOUSLY: Knowing exactly what you’re missing saves so much time wandering aimlessly.
That’s the full scoop. Took patience, a lot of running around, and some stubborn reloads, but Eve, Lily, Adam, and the drone are now the best-dressed crew in the wasteland. Totally worth it. Happy hunting!
