There are a lot of ways to improve Eve's capabilities in Stellar Blade. One method, in particular, involves looking for her fallen comrades, which then grants her permanent boosts. Here's our guide on how to increase Eve's energy and HP by finding all Beta Cores and Body Cores in Stellar Blade.

All Body Core and Beta Core locations in Stellar Blade

The Stellar Blade Body Cores and Beta Cores come from Eve's fellow Colony soldiers. They've long perished, but she's able to acquire the last remnants of their souls. Every three Body Cores and Beta Cores you collect will increase Eve's maximum HP and maximum energy, respectively.

Eidos 7: Beta Core 1

Go to the end of the Silent Street and turn at the corner.

Eidos 7: Body Core 1

Found behind the steps that lead to the supply camp in the Parking Tower.

Eidos 7: Body Core 2

Upon exiting the Parking Tower, you'll see a camp in front of a statue of a woman. Head to the opposite street just past a couple of Naytiba enemies.

Eidos 7: Body Core 3

Found inside a store just after you defeat the first Dozer Naytiba.

Eidos 7: Beta Core 2

After arriving at the Flooded Commercial Plaza, continue to the opposite end of the street (not where your objective is). You'll find this Stellar Blade Beta Core behind the exterior of the station.

Eidos 7: Beta Core 3

Make your way to the clock tower and solve the puzzle (1-2-2-5) to reach the next area. Check the side of the camp to see indentations that you can use to hang and reach the left-hand side. Once you reach the top, you'll see the corpse of this woman.

Eidos 7: Beta Core 4

After beating the Corrupter Naytiba, you'll spot this inside a restaurant.

Eidos 7: Body Core 4

This Stellar Blade Body Core upgrade is in the Construction Zone. Once you have control of the crane, move the metal beam to the left side. This allows you to reach the upper floor of a ruined building.

Eidos 7: Body Core 5

Upon entering the sewer facility, continue straight ahead. You'll see this woman's body leaning on some rubble.

Eidos 7: Beta Core 5

Head further down the sewer facility until you get past the gap. There's a hole with a downward slope.

Wasteland region Body Cores and Beta Cores

Above, you can see a map of the Wasteland region. We've pinpointed the locations of the Stellar Blade Body Core and Beta Core upgrades. Take note that you can obtain these in any order, though we've numbered them in clockwise fashion.

Wasteland: Body Core 1

Go to the Oil Storage Facility in the northern part of the zone. Once you defeat the Naytiba boss, you can get this upgrade to increase your max HP in Stellar Blade.

Wasteland: Beta Core 1

Found at the villa; it's somewhat hidden behind the wreckage and scrap metal.

Wasteland: Beta Core 2

Go to the ruined apartment building near the eastern part of the zone. Climb up and reach the other ledge by using the monkey bar.

Wasteland: Body Core 2

This one is in the Eastern Great Canyon. The soldier's body is behind some crates.

Wasteland: Body Core 3

In the Central Great Canyon, there's a small nook that has this soldier's body.

Wasteland: Beta Core 3

You should see wooden branches jutting out of the cliffs near the southwestern part of the zone. Swing across these to reach the reward.

Don't forget that there's also a Mountain Sparkle Halla can collectible nearby. Moreover, if you continue climbing up the ledges, you can find a crate with an outfit for Adam.

Matrix 11: Body Core 1

Matrix 11 is similar to Eidos 7 in that it's a linear corridor world. As such, there's no map, though you could spot these upgrades if you continue to scan the vicinity.

The first one is a Body Core just past the Landfill area. Complete the objectives in the Landfill area to reach a tunnel with a Hive monster. Kill it to get the reward that it's guarding.

Matrix 11: Beta Core 1

Upon reaching the top of the collapsing bridge, you'll see the woman's body inside a train.

Matrix 11: Body Core 2

When you make it to the interior, you'll find this dead woman behind some crates.

Matrix 11: Beta Core 2

Continue onward until you reach the room where you open the floodgate. When the water level has risen, dive to the opposite side of the cell, where you can get this upgrade.

Matrix 11: Beta Core 3

At the Rotten Labyrinth, there's a small room that you can reach by going through a tunnel.

Matrix 11: Beta Core 4

After removing the Hive Naytiba, follow the looping path through the sewer tunnels. This one is at a dead end.

Matrix 11: Body Core 3

Upon arriving at the Train Graveyard, swim to the opposite side. You'll see this Stellar Blade Body Core on a platform.

Matrix 11: Body Core 4

Eve's fallen comrade is behind the metal steps just past the camp and before the Contaminated Water Purification Plant boss.

Great Desert region Body Cores and Beta Cores

These are the Stellar Blade Beta Cores and Body Cores we obtained in the Great Desert region. We've also included the location of a side quest that rewards a similar upgrade.

Great Desert/Xion: Body Core (Roxanne's quest)

This Stellar Blade Body Core is from a side quest called An Offer You Can't Refuse. Roxanne, the information trader from Xion, gives it.

The goal is to destroy the Grand Turret in the Great Desert. To do this, hide behind obstacles to avoid its blasts. Once you get close enough, use your firearm to shoot it with explosive rounds or stinger missiles. Once you've completed this task, return to Roxanne for a Body Core upgrade.

Great Desert: Beta Core 1

This plateau has yellow-painted indentations that you can use to climb up. Shoot the floating target so that it creates a rope, which you can then use to reach the crate.

Great Desert: Beta Core 2

Found inside a destroyed building in the Buried Ruins.

Great Desert: Body Core 1

Go to the eastern portion of the Buried Ruins. You'll see this soldier's remains slumped on some rocks in front of a fence.

Great Desert: Body Core 2

South of the Buried Ruins, there's a section with climbing spots and monkey bars. This upgrade is within a destroyed building.

Great Desert: Beta Core 3

You can get this Beta Core in Stellar Blade by doing the Fallen Angel side quest, which comes from a Sentinel NPC in the southeastern part of the Great Desert. Follow the destroyed freeway that leads to a tunnel, then inspect the woman's body.

Loop around and exit back to the other side of the highway. Continue following the road until you're able to pull a large metal container. This will let you jump over the barricade and reach this chest.
