You’ve been there. You’re staring at the trophy list, sweating slightly, because your counter is stuck. 88 out of 89. It’s a special kind of torture that Stellar Blade inflicts on completionists. You’ve scoured the Wasteland. You’ve squinted at every corner of the Great Desert. Honestly, it’s enough to make you want to throw the DualSense across the room.
Finding every single one of the stellar blade camp locations isn't just about having a place to sit down and listen to some chill K-pop. It’s about that Meticulous Explorer trophy. But here’s the kicker: the game doesn't exactly hold your hand when it comes to the ones hidden behind "points of no return" or tucked away in side-path elevators you’d normally ignore.
The Math of 89 Camps
Let’s get the numbers straight because there’s a lot of misinformation floating around. To get the achievement, you need 89 camps. If you count the two in Xion, you actually have 91 "resting spots" in the game world, but Xion doesn't count toward the trophy.
Basically, if you’re at 87 or 88 right before the final boss, you haven't necessarily failed.
The breakdown usually looks like this:

- Eidos 7: 14 camps (including the one near the clock tower).
- Wasteland: 11 camps.
- Matrix 11: 12 camps.
- Great Desert: 19 camps.
- Spire 4: 13 camps.
- Final Area: 2 camps.
Then you have the Levoires and Eidos 9. This is where people usually mess up.
The Eidos 9 Trap
If you’re missing two camps, there is a 90% chance they are in Eidos 9. But here’s the catch—you only go to Eidos 9 if you’ve filled Lily’s progress bar to 100% before heading to the Orbit Elevator. If you didn't do the side quests and pick up the data sticks to max out that bar, you skip Eidos 9 entirely.
No Eidos 9? No platinum.
In Eidos 9, there’s a section called the Submerged City. Most players follow the main path, but if you keep following the broken monorail track instead of jumping down to the cocoon area, you’ll find a camp tucked away. There’s another one further up the building. These are the "hidden" ones that ruin 100% runs.

Spire 4 and the Elevator Missables
Spire 4 is a nightmare for missables because once you finish the boss at the top, you can’t go back. There is one camp in particular—the one on the cargo elevator—that people fly right past.
It’s near the beginning of the conveyor belt section. If you aren't looking for the blue glow of the vending machine, you'll miss it.
Honestly, the linear levels in Stellar Blade are more dangerous for your trophy hunt than the open-world ones. In the Great Desert, you can always fast-travel back. In Spire 4, once the door closes, it’s over. You’re looking at a New Game+ run just to click one chair.
Why Do We Even Care?
Aside from the trophy, camps are your lifeline. You get the vending machine (buy those SP initializers!), the console for upgrading your weapon, and the chair to reset your health and the enemy spawns.

Pro tip: if you’re farming for SP or materials, find a camp near a group of Heavy Guardians. Kill, sit, repeat. It’s boring, but it works.
The Final Two
Don’t panic if you’re at 87/89 and you’re standing at the "point of no return" for the final boss. The very last area—the path leading to the final encounter with Adam—contains exactly two camps.
- One right at the entrance of the final zone.
- One right before the "final" final boss.
If you activate these and the trophy doesn't pop, then you definitely missed something in a previous area.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring the Levoires: Both Altess Levoire and Abyss Levoire have camps. They are hard to miss because the levels are so narrow, but if you’re rushing to the boss, you might forget to actually activate the console.
- The Wasteland's Edge: There’s a camp in the Wasteland near the canyon entrance that doesn't have a fast travel point associated with it. You might have walked past it and thought, "I'll get that later," and then never did.
- The "Bugged" Camp: Some players report the counter not updating immediately. If you’re sure you have them all, try sitting at a camp you’ve already visited. Sometimes the game needs a nudge to realize the checklist is complete.
How to Check Your Progress
Check your trophy progress on the PS5 UI. It will tell you exactly how many out of 89 you have. If it says 88, and you are at the final camp, you missed one. Use the regional map in the Wasteland and Great Desert to check the campfire icons. If the icon is dimmed or missing, that’s your target.
To ensure you don't miss the 100% mark, make it a habit to explore every "dead end" on your map before pushing the main objective. In Stellar Blade, the path to the side is usually the one with the rewards.
Next Steps for Completionists:
- Check Lily’s Bar: Ensure it’s at 100% before finishing the Abyss Levoire to guarantee the Eidos 9 trip.
- Scan Frequently: Use your drone's scan pulse (R3) constantly in linear missions to highlight the blue glow of camp consoles through walls.
- Map Audit: Open your Great Desert map and count the icons. You should see 19 campfire symbols. If you see 18, start at the Oasis and work your way clockwise.
