Reach the Wasteland

Once theNikkeDLC is installed, players must playStellar Bladeup to the point at which theAltess Levoiremain quest becomes available and theWastelandmap becomes accessible. For the uninitiated, Altess Levoire is the fourthmain quest inStellar Blade, and it will take new players aroundthree hoursto reach it.

If a player wants to access theNikkeDLC from a save file that has already made it to the Wasteland, they should locate the Tetrapod on the current map, speak with Adam in front of the ship, select “travel to another region,” and choose Xion. After fast traveling to that map, players should exit through the south end to enter the Wasteland.

Using the Tetrapod to travel directly to the Wasteland may prevent the NPC who starts theNikkeDLC from appearing, which is why players are advised to pass throughXionfirst.

Find Volt

After entering the Wasteland, players should open the in-game map, look for theStellar BladexGoddess of Victory: Nikkemarker, and navigate to the location that it marks. This marker looks like a white diamond, and its precise position is shown on the preceding map.

Upon arriving at the location indicated by the marker, players will findVolt, a robotic dog, and examining him will trigger a cutscene that marks the beginning of theNikkeDLC. Indeed,Stellar Bladeplayerswill be able to accept numerous new requests when the cutscene comes to an end, and those requests award the Bone-Wrenches that can be used to purchase cosmetics from Volt’s shop.
