Exciting new content unlocks with the Stellar Blade Nikke DLC release. This premium DLC content is up for purchase, offering exclusive outfits, cosmetics and other collectibles. Here’s a quick and simple guide on how you can start the Stellar Blade Nikke DLC.

Purchase and Install the DLC

First thing to cross off from the checklist is purchasing the Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke DLC. This content is available on both Steam and PlayStation Store at $9.99, a fairly decent price for players. Moreover, this DLC also includes the Stellar Blade Complete Edition and the Twin Expansion Pack. 

It is bundled with the NieR: Automata collaboration DLC, further exciting many fans and players across platforms. Purchasing the DLC will only be your way to access these new contents and missions prepared. Also, a promotional graphic at the bottom of Stellar Blade’s title menu appears if you haven’t purchased it yet. But after you’re done with the purchase, make sure you’ve downloaded and installed it on your device.

Progress to the Required Campaign Point

While already purchased, the Stellar Blade Nikke DLC won’t be immediately accessible for players and fans. You will have to process through the Stellar Blade’s main campaign to reach the fourth main quest. It is called “Altess Levoire”, where you can unlock access to the Wasteland region.

This region will be critical to jump into the new thrilling adventure of Nikke DLC. However, if you’re a new player, then it might take you longer to finish the gameplay. Moreover, the game only requires players to understand the progression requirements and combat system.

On the other hand, you’ll take easier roads if you already have your saved files that progressed past the needed point. It will already give you easy access to the required area with fast travel.

Navigate to the Wasteland Region

After unlocking the Wasteland region, you will need to travel there to finally start the Nikke DLC. If you happen to use fast travel, make sure you are following the correct route. The DLC NPCs will only appear through the right route to get there. Here’s what you will need to do to trigger the Nikke DLC content in your game:

1. First, locate the Tetrapod on your current map.
2. Then, you have to speak with Adam right in front of the ship.
3. After that, you can select “travel to another region” and choose Xion.
4. After fast traveling, you may exit through the south end to enter the Wasteland region.

This specific route guarantees you the chance to encounter the NPC to start the Nikke DLC. Meanwhile, traveling with Tetrapod to Wasteland is not recommended as it may prevent you from finding the NPC.

Find Volt and Start the Stellar Blade Nikke DLC

Now, that the Wasteland is accessible, you can begin tackling the missions to progress through the content. Following these steps will be a great starting point for your Stellar Blade Nikke DLC adventure. 

1. Open your in-game map and look for the Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke marker. This marker will appear as a white diamond icon in the middle of the Wasteland region.
2. Then, navigate to this location by using the map as your guide.
3. After arriving at the marked location, a golden robotic dog character called “Volt” will appear. 
4. By interacting with Volt, a cutscene will show up and mark the beginning of the DLC content. 

Complete DLC Missions and Earn Rewards

Once the introductory cutscene ends, there will be several new requests and missions you can accept. These missions will include both Scarlet and Volt for engaging gameplay featuring the game’s combat mechanics alongside the victory goddess. Moreover, completing these missions will reward you with Bone-Wrenches.

These Bone-Wrenches are the special currency you may use in purchasing cosmetics from Volt’s shop. Also, this Stellar Blade Nikke DLC will feature exclusive outfits, hairstyles, and other cosmetic items. You may use these to customize your character with Nikke-inspired designs as you play. Here are the rewards you may get after completion of the content:

• • Cooling Suit (Outfit)
  • Elegant Dress (Outfit)
  • Elysian Combat Uniform (Outfit)
  • Missing Link(Outfit)
  • Never Look Back (Outfit)
  • Energetic Bangs (Hairstyle)
  • First Affection (Hairstyle)
  • Noble Elegance (Hairstyle)
  • Poppin’ Twin Tails (Hairstyle)
  • Standard Long (Hairstyle)

Furthermore, this Nikke DLC will split across two regions in the game. The first half of the content takes place in Wasteland while the latter is in the Great Desert. The Great Desert will only be available after finishing the sixth main mission. 

So, this downloadable content will require you to progress through it alongside the main campaign. However, you may also opt to complete it all at once after unlocking both required regions for the content.

Conclusion

That sums up how you can start the newly offered Stellar Blade Nikke DLC content. It offers a unique exciting experience with exclusive Nikke-themed missions and rewards. Moreover, it lets you explore across the region alongside a dog character named Volt. However, players will need to purchase this expansion for $9.99 on platforms like Steam and PlayStation store.
