Ever wander into The Last Gulp in Xion and think, "Man, this singer has seen better days"? You're not alone. Enya is basically falling apart, and Su, the guy running the bar, is desperate. This kicks off the side quest "Looking at You," which is where most players first run into the hunt for mind map copies Stellar Blade.
Honestly, the game doesn't hold your hand much here. It tells you to go find three copies, but if you're just sprint-jumping through the Wasteland, you’re going to miss them. They aren't just lying in random chests like most loot. They're tied to specific NPCs and a very annoying robot.

Where the Mind Map Copies Actually Are
You need three. No more, no less. If you're stuck at 2/3, it's usually because you haven't talked to a certain depressed robot in the middle of a junk pile.
The first one is easy if you've been doing your shopping. You can buy it directly from Kaya at Sister's Junk. She’s the merchant in Xion who always looks like she needs a nap. If it’s not appearing in her shop, you might need to increase her affinity level by buying other stuff first, but usually, it's there once the quest is active.
The second one is tucked away in the Wasteland. You have to find D1G-g2r. He’s a maintenance robot trapped under some debris in the Scrapyard. To get his copy, you actually have to finish his personal quest, "Plan to Clean the Earth." It involves a puzzle with a crane and some logic terminals (Ticker, Buzzer, and Clunker). Once he’s free and sets up his shop, he’ll sell you the second mind map copy.
Now, the third one is the one that kills people's patience. It’s held by a Wasteland Cocoon (or a specific small, exploding bot depending on your game version's translation) located near the Western Grand Canyon. Look for the quest marker in the Wasteland. There’s a specific enemy roaming there that looks like a little walking bomb. Smash it. It drops the final copy.
Why Do These Even Matter?
It’s easy to think this is just another fetch quest for Gold and some potions. But Stellar Blade is sneaky with its lore. These "Mind Maps" are essentially AI data that hasn't been processed by machine learning yet. In the world of EVE and the Naytiba, consciousness is a messy, digital-organic hybrid.
By bringing these to Lily, you aren't just fixing Enya's voice box. You’re literally rebuilding her soul. It’s one of the few questlines that actually makes Xion feel like a living city rather than just a hub for upgrades.
Common Glitches and How to Fix Them
If you’ve played Stellar Blade for more than five hours, you know the physics can get... weird. There have been reports of the third mind map copy falling through the floor after you kill the robot in the Grand Canyon.
If this happens:
- Don't panic. 2. Travel to a different region (like back to Xion) and return.
- Check the spot again; the enemy usually respawns or the item resets to its original spawn point.
- Some players found that checking D1G-g2r’s shop again after a glitch actually allowed them to buy a backup, though this isn't 100% consistent across all patches.
The Payoff: Beyond Fate
Completing the quest doesn't just give you 900 Gold and some Extreme Nano Elements. It's the prerequisite for the "Beyond Fate" trophy. If you care about platinum-ing the game, you cannot skip this.
More importantly, it builds your relationship with Lily. Your "Lily Affinity" is a hidden stat that determines if you can access the secret area, Eidos 9, later in the game. If you ignore Enya and Su, you might find yourself locked out of the game's "true" ending.
Actionable Steps for Your Playthrough
Don't wait until the end of the game to do this. Once you reach the first Point of No Return (Abyss Levoire), some of these interactions become much harder to trigger or lock out entirely.
- Check Kaya's Shop immediately upon reaching Xion to see if you have the affinity to buy the first copy.
- Head to the Scrapyard in the Wasteland early. D1G-g2r is one of the best merchants in the game anyway because he sells high-level upgrade materials.
- Clear the Grand Canyon enemy the moment you're in the neighborhood for the "Reboot" quest. It saves you a long trip back later.
Enya’s story is one of the most emotional arcs in the game. It’s worth the 20 minutes of hunting through the dirt.
