How to start Lost Ark in Stellar Blade

Speak to Mann beside The Orcal after exploring Altess Levoire as part of the story to start the Lost Ark side quest in Stellar Blade. If Mann doesn't have this quest for you even after completing Altess Levoire, try completing a few more side quests and Requests in and around Xion to trigger it.

Once you accept the quest, head to the alley with the locked chest in the North of Xion to find the rebel's corpse. After reading their note, continue up the alley and climb the nearby stairs and interact with the console outside of a locked gate, then pick up the readable beside the gate. You need this clue to work out how to open the locked gate later, but first, you need to track down the Ark's puzzle by finding six terminals around Xion.

Ark puzzle location 1

The first Ark puzzle terminal is located in the very north of Xion, below the locked gate, just before the entrance to the alley where you found the dead rebel.

To find the next Ark puzzle terminal, go down the main stairs and look at the left wall across the way. The terminal is beside a closed shutter, just right of the fence with a huge gap in it.

Stellar Blade Lost Ark password

Now that you've found all of the terminals, it's time to solve the puzzle to open the door to the mysterious Ark in Xion!

The Lost Ark password in Stellar Blade is Oukaer (θμkαετ).

We struggled a little bit with working this out, as the answer isn't as obvious as the 'Turn Xion, turn clockwise!' hint suggests, as you don't know what symbol the sequence starts on, and there's a stray symbol in the middle that complicates just inputting the code in a clockwise sequence.

How to Investigate the interior of the Ark in Stellar Blade

Go inside the facility and pick up the note left on the corpse at the entrance, then go down the lift. You need to interact with the terminal at the back of the room on the right, but we recommend exploring the small area before you do so, as you'll need to leave ASAP after using the terminal.

When the red alarm kicks in, go to the door at the back of the room and smash the noisy object blinking red to open the door and continue your escape. All you have to do after escaping is return to Mann to complete the Lost Ark quest and get your rewards.
