Stellar Blade has been released worldwide on PlayStation 5 and is receiving mostly great reviews. The world of Stellar Blade is filled with epic action and adventure where players will have to face hostile enemies and brave through numerous challenges to survive. They must keep in mind some ground rules and tips that will come in handy while playing the game.

Stellar Blade includes gameplay mechanics similar to those of action RPGs. While in the game, one of the most important aspects for players is having a good amount of HP. The game gives players the option to increase their default HP. In the game, players can collect Body Cores to increase their HP and gain energy points.

What Are Body Cores?

Stellar Blade has a massive storyline that starts with the protagonist Eve being sent to Earth with the 7th Airborne Squad. However, the mission suffers a serious setback when all the members of the squad get killed, leaving Eve as the sole survivor. As Eve embarks on her mission, she will be able to collect the Body Cores of her deceased comrades. The bodies will be shown with a golden outline, and Eve will be able to collect the Body Core. Collecting three Body Cores results in gaining an HP boost.

The Body Cores are similar to energy units, which feed the cybernetic upgrades of the Airborne Squad members. Each collected core either increases your maximum HP or Beta Energy, depending on the sequence in which they have been collected.

Where Are All the Body Cores in Stellar Blade?

There are 18 Body Cores in Stellar Blade, and players must remain aware while collecting these Body Cores. Once you have located a Body Core, interact with it to absorb it. The bodies of the deceased squad members can be recognized by their unique sitting positions. Use your drone to scan areas and locate deceased squad members.

The Body Cores are scattered across various regions and can be collected by players looking for them in these locations. Collecting all the Body Cores in the game will allow players to increase their HP six times. The Body Cores can be found in the following locations:

Eidos 7

Players will be able to find four Body Cores in this location. Players will be able to find the first core behind the steps, which will lead to the supply camp located inside the Parking Tower.

Now, move on to the location of the second core in this region. Exit the Parking Tower, and you’ll be able to see a camp in front of a statue of a woman. Move towards the opposite street after facing a couple of Naytiba enemies, and you will find another dead body holding a Body Core.

After gaining control of the crane, move the metal beam to the left to get access to the upper story of a damaged structure. You will be able to find the third Body Core.

The final Core can be found inside a store, which can be found right after you have defeated the first Dozer Naytiba.

Wasteland

You will be able to get three Body Cores in the Wasteland region. First, head to the Oil Storage Facility in the northern part of the zone. Once you reach here, you will have to face a Naytiba boss. Defeat this boss to get this upgrade.

To find the next Body Core, go to the Eastern Great Canyon, and you will be able to find a deceased soldier’s body behind some crates.

The third and final Core can be found in a small nook inside a soldier’s body.

Matrix 11

The first Body Core in Matrix 11 can be found after passing the Landfill area. You will have to complete certain objectives in this area to reach a tunnel with a Hive monster. Eliminate the monster to earn the reward that it is guarding, and you will have a Body Core.

Next, you will have to make it to the interior, where you will find a dead woman’s body behind crates.

To get the third Body Core, go to the Train Graveyard. Next, you will have to swim to the opposite side, where you will find the Body Core, which is located on a platform.

The final Body Core can be gained from a deceased comrade behind the metal steps just past the camp.

Great Desert

You will be able to find the first Body Core by playing a side quest called An Offer You Can’t Refuse. This quest will be given to you by Roxanne (an information trader from Xion). The objective of this quest is to destroy the Grand Turret in this Desert. Try getting closer to the turret to launch explosive rounds or stinger missiles on it. To get closer to the turret, hide behind obstacles to avoid its blasts. Once you’ve completed this task, go back to Roxanne to receive the Body Core upgrade.

The next Body Core can be found in the eastern portion of the Buried Ruins. You’ll be able to find the body of a deceased soldier and interact with it to get the Core.

Next, you will have to move to the south of the Buried Ruins, where you will be able to find a section filled with climbing spots and monkey bars. The Body Core upgrade is located inside a demolished building.

For the final Body Core, you will have to find a metal container. Next, you will have to push it aside. After pushing it aside, you will be able to climb up and reach the camp. Jump to the opposite building by clawing on the yellow-painted handholds. Once you have reached the second floor, you will be able to see the Body Core.

Spire 4

The Spire 4 region houses four Body Cores. You will need to start by heading for the tunnel system. To enter the tunnel, shut down the dam first. After entering the tunnel, you will reach its narrow end, where you will find a steep slope. After dropping down this slope, you will see a narrow path that leads to the Body Core.

For the next core, you will have to reach an area filled with conveyor belts and green laser tripwires. Scan the surrounding area, and you’ll see a glowing body outline below. You will be able to get the Body Core by reaching down.

The third Body Core is located in the Gate 2 area of Raphael Space Center. The Body Core can be obtained from the body of a deceased woman.

The last Body Core can be found in Cargo Lift 121. Wait for the lift to stop and then pass through the doorway. You’ll be able to find another deceased comrade behind the steps. Reach it by going down an elevator.

So, these are the locations of all the Body Cores in Stellar Blade. Along with the Beta Cores, they are crucial to upgrade Eve’s abilities.
