• The full drinks collection unlocks a permanent +10% max HP and a unique weapon perk that makes this endgame grind 100% worth it.
• Use our region-by-region walkthrough and printable checklist below to knock this out in 90 minutes or less, no backtracking headaches.

Overview: How Many Cans Are There In Stellar Blade?

If you're going for 100% completion on Stellar Blade, the drinks collection side quest is one of the most rewarding hidden collectible grinds in the entire game. Shift Up hid 21 unique cans across the wasteland, Matrix 11, the Great Desert, Abandoned Station, Xion, and the Wrecked Ship. You turn them in to the vending machine repairman Conrad in Xion's Central Square to unlock his custom drink bar, and the end rewards are game-changing for endgame Naytiba hunting.

Unlike most hidden items in Stellar Blade, cans don't show up on your default map scan. You have to find them by interacting with specific breakable crates, abandoned containers, and hidden ledges. Most players miss 2-3 on their first playthrough, and 3 are permanently locked after the Point of No Return (when you leave for the final mission on the Wrecked Ship).

Missable Cans Warning: Don't Progress Past This Point

Before we start, let's get the most important warning out of the way. The 3 following cans are permanently missable if you accept the final mission to leave for the Wrecked Ship. You can't return to any previous regions after starting the final sequence, and New Game+ doesn't carry over your collectible progress (you have to collect all 21 again in NG+ if you miss any here). Stop everything and collect these three first if you're approaching the endgame.

1. Matrix 11: Energy Bolt Can (Locked behind the research lab side door you can't access post-story)
2. Abandoned Station: Frostbite Can (Only accessible before you clear the station's main objective)
3. Wrecked Ship: Solar Punch Can (You only get one shot to grab this on your first run through the ship)

Region-by-Region All Can Locations Walkthrough

We're going region-by-region in the order you unlock them in the main story, so you can collect these as you play instead of backtracking later. I've included exact map references, interactable locations, and notes to avoid dead ends.

1. Wasteland (4 Cans Total)

The Wasteland is the first open region you unlock, right after leaving the Ark. All 4 cans here are available from the moment you gain access, no story locks.

1. Name: Thunder Fizz

2. Matrix 11 (5 Cans Total, 1 Missable)

Matrix 11 is the ruined city you unlock after the Wasteland. One can here is missable post-story, so don't leave without grabbing it.

   Map Reference: Grid square H1, B2 level of the Research Sector.

3. Great Desert (5 Cans Total)

The Great Desert is the massive open desert region you unlock after beating Matrix 11. Cans here are spread out, so use your sparrow bike to cut down travel time. None are missable here, but they're easy to miss in the sand dunes.

1. Name: Dune Dew
   Location: In the ruined outpost north of the Desert Camp. Climb the ruined watchtower, the can is in a locked supply crate on the top platform (use your lockpick to open it, requires level 1 lockpicking).

   Map Reference: Grid square D7, 120m southwest of the pyramid entrance.

4. Xion (2 Cans Total)

Xion is the last surviving human city, and the two cans here are inside the city walls, easy to miss if you just rush through main story dialogue.

1. Name: Citadel Cooler
   Location: In the residential district of Xion, top floor of the abandoned apartment building east of the market. Jump across the broken hallway to the back bedroom, the can is on the nightstand next to the bed.
   Map Reference: Grid square 2C, Xion Residential District.
2. Name: Ark Ale

5. Abandoned Station (2 Cans Total, 1 Missable)

Abandoned Station is the short linear dungeon you unlock after the Great Desert. One can here is permanently missable once you clear the dungeon's main objective, so grab it first.

   Map Reference: Main concourse, 50m from entrance.
2. Name: Frostbite (MISSABLE)
   Location: In the frozen freezer car of the abandoned train in the back of the station. You can only access this before you pull the main power lever to open the exit. Once you pull the lever, the freezer door locks permanently and you can't get back in. Break the ice blocking the door with a heavy attack, grab the can off the crate in the back of the car.
   Map Reference: Back of the station, train yard section.

6. Wrecked Ship (3 Cans Total, 1 Missable)

Wrecked Ship is the final story region, and it's only accessible once right before the endgame. All cans here are technically missable if you rush through, but Solar Punch is the easiest to miss if you don't know it's there.

1. Name: Brine Bitter
   Location: Right after you board the ship, in the captain's quarters on the bridge. The can is in the locked safe behind the captain's desk, requires level 2 lockpicking to open.

   Map Reference: Lower engine room, Wrecked Ship.
3. Name: Solar Punch (MISSABLE)
   Location: In the cargo hold of the ship, right before the final boss room. When you enter the cargo hold, the can is in a broken shipping container on the north side of the room.
