The Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke add-on expansion gives players the opportunity to earn a variety of outfits, items, and collectibles. The first step towards earning those rewards is starting the DLC, though the way that is done may not be immediately obvious. Fortunately, it is not extremely difficult to start the Nikke DLC for Stellar Blade, and this guide explains exactly how that is done.

Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke is a paid DLC that costs $9.99.

How to Start Nikke DLC in Stellar Blade

Buy Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke

Players must buy and install the Nikke DLC for Stellar Blade before they can access its content, and it is available on Steam and in the PlayStation Store. Notably, the Nikke add-on is part of Stellar Blade Complete Edition and the Stellar Blade Twin Expansion Pack, which also includes the Stellar Blade x NieR:Automata DLC, and both of these bundles can be found at the aforementioned storefronts.

Players who have not purchased the Nikke DLC should also see a graphic for the add-on at the bottom of Stellar Blade's title menu, and they can select that graphic to be taken directly to the purchase page.

Reach the Wasteland

Once the Nikke DLC is installed, players must play Stellar Blade up to the point at which the Altess Levoire main quest becomes available and the Wasteland map becomes accessible. For the uninitiated, Altess Levoire is the fourth main quest in Stellar Blade, and it will take new players around three hours to reach it.

If a player wants to access the Nikke DLC from a save file that has already made it to the Wasteland, they should locate the Tetrapod on the current map, speak with Adam in front of the ship, select "travel to another region," and choose Xion. After fast traveling to that map, players should exit through the south end to enter the Wasteland.

Using the Tetrapod to travel directly to the Wasteland may prevent the NPC who starts the Nikke DLC from appearing, which is why players are advised to pass through Xion first.

Find Volt

After entering the Wasteland, players should open the in-game map, look for the Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke marker, and navigate to the location that it marks. This marker looks like a white diamond, and its precise position is shown on the preceding map.

Upon arriving at the location indicated by the marker, players will find Volt, a robotic dog, and examining him will trigger a cutscene that marks the beginning of the Nikke DLC. Indeed, Stellar Blade players will be able to accept numerous new requests when the cutscene comes to an end, and those requests award the Bone-Wrenches that can be used to purchase cosmetics from Volt's shop.
