Finding every single can in Stellar Blade isn't just about being a completionist. Honestly, it’s about survival. Shift Up decided to hide 49 of these little relics across Earth, and while they look like simple pieces of pre-fall trash, they are actually the key to some of Eve's best upgrades—and that infamous Black Pearl Nano Suit.
Most players stumble upon a few in Xion and think they've seen it all. You've probably kicked a vending machine or two and thought, "Cool, a collectible." But as you get deeper into the Wasteland and the Great Desert, these things become devious. We're talking physics puzzles, hidden timers, and even robots you have to shoot down from the sky.
If you want the full collection, you’re going to need to explore every nook of Eidos 7, Xion, the Wasteland, Matrix 11, the Great Desert, and Spire 4. Here is the breakdown of what you're looking for and where to find it.
Why You Actually Need Every Can
Don't ignore the display case near the Tetrapod. Every time you bring back a batch of cans, Lily’s display case rewards you. It’s not just cosmetic stuff until the very end.
Early on, you get boosts to your Shock Grenades and Lingering Potions. By the time you hit 35 cans, you unlock an extra WB Pump, which is basically an extra life. That’s huge for the late-game bosses. Of course, the real prize is at 49 cans: the Black Pearl Nano Suit. If you’re playing New Game+, you can even snag a red variant from Lyle in Xion, but only if you finished the original set first.
Eidos 7 Can Locations
You can't get all of these on your first pass. Two of them are locked behind a side quest that literally changes the map.

- Potential Blast (No. 33): This one is in the Construction Zone. When you're facing the Supply Camp, head northwest. Look for a ramp leading into a crumbling building. Go to the top floor, clear out the Cricket Slasher, and check the table by the mesh fence.
- Elixir Carrot (No. 25): You must complete the "Oblivion" side quest to drain the Flooded Commercial Sector. Once the water is gone, head to the shopping district below the monorail. There's a shop called "Red Grill"—the can is on a shelf inside.
- Cryo Original (No. 1): Also in the Flooded Commercial Sector after draining it. Go to the very bottom level, opposite the monorail station. There’s a vending machine just sitting there waiting to be kicked.
Xion: The Vending Machine Capital
Xion is the easiest place to pad your collection. Most are in vending machines, but one is a bit of a platforming trick.
The Easy Pickups
You'll find Dionysus C in an alleyway north of the bulletin board. Bayern Weissbier Dunkel is tucked in the alley next to the hair salon. The Machinetta Caramel Macchiato is up some stairs in the northern plaza. Pixie is just lying on the ground in that same northern plaza area.
The Hidden Ones
- Behemoth Red (No. 27): Look for an alleyway near the bar where you find Enya and Su.
- The Machinetta Americano (No. 9): This one is on a balcony near the hair salon, right next to an NPC named Erin.
- Mountain Sparkle Mont Blanc (No. 39): Go to the walkway above Sister's Junk. It’s in a vending machine behind the shop.
- GrainT Oolong (No. 19): This is the only one in Xion not in a machine. Cross the bridge toward the Tetrapod, look down the cliff for a rope, and climb down. It’s in a crate across a small gap.
Mastering the Wasteland
The Wasteland is where the puzzles start. You’ll need the Double Jump for a lot of these, which you get after the Altess Levoire section.
- Cryo Zero (No. 2): Look for a flying robot. Shoot it, and it will move. Shoot it again. Keep chasing it until it drops the can.
- Potential Tempest (No. 34): This is a multi-step puzzle near the Solar Tower. You have to activate three different terminals and move a yellow crate to reach the chest.
- Pixie Zero (No. 10): Near the Junkyard, you’ll see a robot trapped under some bridge debris. Shoot the beams to free it, and it will dig up the can for you.
- Behemoth Green (No. 28): In the southwest, near a Supply Camp, you’ll see two floor plates. You need to roll two large metal spheres onto them. One is right there; the other is hidden around the cliffside corner.
- Nectar Orange (No. 21): In the southern area with all the ruined cars, find a yellow box. Move it to the large sign so you can jump up to the protruding bars and reach the cooler.
Don't forget the Forbidden Area. Cryo the Clear (No. 42) is hidden under some rubble there. You have to slide down a rope and jump to a gate in the middle of the pit.

Matrix 11 and Spire 4
These are more linear, but if you miss them, you’re looking at a long trek back.
Matrix 11
- Newfoundland Dry (No. 5): After you kill the Juggernaut, check behind the pile of shipping containers.
- Cryo Café Vanilla (No. 13): In the Rail Yard, after the crane puzzle, look for a robot. The can is on a raised platform nearby.
- Corsair Ale (No. 47): In the Train Graveyard, swim to the right side of the submerged tunnel.
Spire 4
- Milky Pop (No. 7): At the Space Logistics Complex entrance, check the very end of the upper walkway.
- Moonwell (No. 37): This is in a vending machine in the Maintenance Sector. Pro tip: if you miss this one, you can actually fish it up at the Oasis later, though that's a gamble.
The Great Desert: The Final Stretch
The Great Desert has 16 cans. It's the biggest chunk of the collection.
The Buried Ruins
A lot of these are clustered here. Cryo the Malt requires you to hit a terminal on a rooftop and then race against a 45-second timer. Liquid Nuclear is inside a destroyed building where you have to move a yellow container to reach a high ledge.
The "Demogorgon" Can
Starwell (No. 38) is tricky. In the western part of the desert, you'll see a "Lurker" (it looks like a Demogorgon from Stranger Things) moving under the sand. Watch for the sparkle. You need to drop a Smart Mine on the sparkle to force it up. Kill it, and the can is yours.
The Hypertube
The Haven Earl Grey (No. 15) is sitting on top of the Hypertube. You have to approach it from the west side to land on the tube correctly. If you fall off, you're just going for a ride.

What to Do Next
Once you have all 49, head back to the Tetrapod and talk to Lily. The Black Pearl outfit will unlock automatically in the rewards menu of the display case.
If you're missing just one or two, check your collection menu. Every can has a specific number. If you see a gap at No. 37, you know you need to head back to Spire 4 (or start fishing). Most importantly, make sure you finish this collection before heading to the final point of no return in the story, as several areas become inaccessible.
If you've already passed that point, your best bet is to wrap up the story and grab the remaining ones in New Game+, where your progress carries over. Just remember that you only get the suit once you've filled every single slot in that cabinet.
Go to Xion and buy any missing info from Roxanne if you're struggling with the exact map markers; she sometimes sells documents that point toward collectibles. Once the suit is yours, you’ve officially conquered one of the most tedious but rewarding grinds in the game.
