Lily's Progress Bar in Stellar Blade can also be treated as your relationship with Lily. The game doesn't exactly explain the idea behind it and here our guide comes to the rescue. On this page we explain why this bar appears and what actions may improve and charge it. Additionally, we discuss its importance in regards to exploration (new optional region) and finale of the campaign (different endings).
The page contains general spoilers about the influence of Lily's Progress Bar on the course of the game and its finale. However, we avoided major spoilers about what happens during the course of the game and how the main storyline can end.

When Lily's Progress Bar appears on the screen?
- Lily's Progress Bar is hidden by default and you can't check it on demand. It appears only after performing an action that affects your relationship with Lily.
- The bar can appear in the upper right corner of the screen - right from the compass. It shows Lily's icon and current percentage (1.9% in the example from our screenshot). You can reach up to 100% completion of the bar.
If the bar doesn't appear at all in your game, make sure that your game is updated to the newest version. Additionally, you can consider adjusting the HUD to appear permanently, instead of a dynamic one.
Lily's Progress Bar can be charged by:
- Finding selected collectibles (example in the screenshot) - these may be various notes or memory sticks. However, not all collectibles count towards the progress bar, so Scan the area on a regular basis and try to collect as many secrets as you can.
- Completing selected quests - The percentage value of the bar may (but does not have to) increase when a task is completed. Make sure to undertake every possible side quest, especially those involving important NPCs in Xion.
Influence of the Progress Bar on availability of locations and received ending
- The relationship with Lily gains significance after reaching the first point of no return in the main plot. We described this moment in more detail on page Is there a point of no return? from our FAQ chapter.
- At this moment, if you managed to fill the Progress Bar 100%, Lily will ask the team to visit a secret region - Eidos 9. This is a medium-sized location with mandatory and side activities and battles to fight. Only after its completion will the team head to the next location from the main plot - Needle 4.
- If the Progress Bar haven't reached 100% by that time, the team will set off directly to Needle 4 without stopping at Eidos 9.
The above situation also affects what ending among the 3 you'll receive:
- If you have filled the bar 100% and visited Eidos 9, then one of the endings you'll be able to choose will be Making New Memories.
- If you skipped Eidos 9, one of the available endings will be Cost of Lost Memories.
