Consequences of taking or not taking Adam’s hand in Stellar Blade
Without giving away exactly what happens in each scenario, we can say that whether or not you take Adam’s hand, it changes the ending you get. Not taking Adam’s hand means that Adam will be the final boss, and this decision truly marks the end of humanity. This ending is always the same, no matter what you did before making your choice.
Taking Adam’s Hand requires you to fight a robot and a small horde as the final bosses, and this move combines the human Naytiba and android races to create a new type of humanity. However, Lily can die if you take Adam’s hand and her Lily progress bar is not at 100% before leaving for Spire 4.. This happens because you need to unlock Lily’s bonus mission on Eidos 9 in order to get an item to save her.
We have more information in our endings guide, but in short, you can fill Lily’s progress bar to 100% by simply collecting any data entry logs you come across during your exploration. You don’t need them all, but picking up everyone you see should fill the bar well before the point of no return.
Unfortunately, you can only see the status of the Lily Bar after you retrieve a data entry log that fills it, so keep an eye on the upper right corner of the screen while retrieving each data entry to keep track its progress. exploring.
Should you take Adam’s hand in Stellar Blade?
Having experienced all three endings, we think you should take Adam’s hand in Stellar Blade, but only if your Lily progress bar is at 100%. This seems like the best ending most fitting to the story being told, but if you want to stay on Mother Sphere’s good side and complete your mission to eliminate all Naytiba for good (or want to save Lily), then don’t take that of Adam. hand might be the choice you want to make instead.
Good luck with the final boss after you make the decision!
