How many endings are there in Stellar Blade?
There are currently three different endings in Stellar Blade. These endings are obtained by making a crucial choice at the end of the game, but also by completing or not completing various tasks in the game. Be aware that these endings can be blocked if you advance too quickly and reach the point of no return.

How to get the different endings?
One of the conditions for these endings concerns the secret level of Eidos 9. It unlocks before going to Orbital Elevator 4, on one condition. Must have increased the level of affinity with Lily to 100% so that the young woman asks you to take this detour. To increase this, you must collect notes concerning the Matri-Ark, or complete quests that are related, such as “Taboo”, which drastically increases the percentage. Make sure to level up to 100% before completing the mission at Abyss Levoire to have peace of mind.
Unlocking Eidos 9 or not will determine the endings you can have. Which means that if you unlocked the secret level in your first game, you absolutely must not unlock it during your second game. Here is the list of endings Stellar Blade.
Cost of lost memories
If you want to see this ending, you will have to make sure not to fill Lily's bar and not to visit Eidos 9. Then continue to the final boss and accept the outstretched hand to unlock this ending.

Return to the colony
For this purpose, unlocking Eidos level 9 doesn't matter. Once in front of the final boss, do not accept his outstretched hand and engage in combat. A cutscene will follow and you will face a most mysterious ending, which is undoubtedly not the best.
Create new memories
If you have unlocked Eidos 9, this time accept the boss's outstretched hand. You will face another boss, and you will witness a new gameplay sequence before the credits. Note that this ending and the previous one can be accomplished just by reloading the save before the final boss.
What is the best ending for Stellar Blade?
Difficult to answer this question given that everything is relative and the game strives not to be Manichean. However, There is one ending that seems to have a slightly more positive outcome, and it's about “Creating New Memories”. It remains to be seen whether this is the one that will be retained in a possible sequel.
