How to Start NIKKE DLC in Stellar Blade
Written by Rahul Gupta
You can’t play the NIKKE DLC right away in Stellar Blade. You’ll need to progress the main story first until a few key areas open up.
Once you unlock Xion, the Wasteland, and the Great Desert, all the NIKKE DLC content will become available in pieces.
Unlocking the DLC Content
Reach Xion and the Wasteland First
To get started with the NIKKE DLC, you need to finish the main mission called “Xion, The Last Remaining City.” This unlocks the Wasteland region.
Once you're in the Wasteland, the following NIKKE content will become available:
Scarlet Boss Fight – Defeat her to unlock a new NIKKE outfit, hairstyle, and a song for EVE
Shooting Range Minigames – These are NIKKE-themed side games you’ll find in the Wasteland
Volt’s Vendor Shop – Volt the robotic dog appears here with DLC cosmetics and items
Unlock the Great Desert for Fishing
To get the rest of the DLC, keep going in the story until you unlock the “Abyss Levoire” mission. This opens up the Great Desert.
That’s where you’ll be able to do the NIKKE-themed fishing activity, which lets you collect 6 new themed items.
What’s in the NIKKE DLC
Here’s everything included once unlocked:
Fight Scarlet and unlock her rewards
Play NIKKE-styled minigames in the Wasteland
Go fishing in the Great Desert for themed collectibles
Shop from Volt the Vendor Dog to grab outfits and cosmetics
You won’t need to install anything else or enter a code, as long as you bought the DLC. Just play the story and unlock the areas.
Final Blurb
The NIKKE DLC in Stellar Blade isn’t locked behind a menu. It’s baked into the story, so just keep progressing and you’ll naturally reach it.
If you were hoping to fight Scarlet or go fishing with NIKKE flair from the start… sorry, you’ve got a few hours to go first.
