Overview: What Are Cans In Stellar Blade?
For you min-maxers chasing 100% completion and that sweet Platinum trophy: cans are the hidden drink collectibles scattered across every open region in Stellar Blade. Shift Up hid 31 total, and unlike most collectibles in this game, 7 are fully missable if you blast through the main story without stopping to explore. That means no do-overs unless you reload an old save or start a New Game+.
Collecting every can unlocks the Hidden Can Badge trophy, a 5000 gold payout, and that permanent +10% movement speed buff I mentioned earlier. If you’re farming endgame Naytibas or grinding for gear upgrades, that speed boost cuts your traversal time by almost 1/10, it’s no throwaway reward.

Missable Cans: Critical Warning Before You Progress
Stop right here if you’re about to start the final story mission Stellar Blade. You cannot return to any previous regions after starting the final mission. That means if you leave any cans behind, you’re screwed until New Game+. Even worse, three missable cans are in the Xion Interior that gets locked off after you complete the main story arc for Matrix 11. I’ve marked every missable can with a [MISSABLE] tag below, don’t ignore that.
Pro Tip: Clean up all collectibles right after you finish the Matrix 11 mission and before you accept the final story call. You’ll have full access to every region at that point, no locks, no going back later. Do it now.Region-by-Region Numbered Checklist: All Can Locations
