Today is a special day for both Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and Stellar Blade fans! Today marks the launch of their special collaboration event as it also commemorates the launch of the game on PC. NIKKE fans in particular were really looking forward to a special NIKKE skin that came with the Stellar Blade Complete Edition. This would be a skin for the NIKKE SSR Pilgrim character called Scarlet. Now that the game’s out and the collab event has officially started, a lot of people are asking “How can I get my NIKKE CD-Key from Stellar Blade?” All that’s clearly stated is that a CD-Key will be given with the Complete Edition? But how will it be given? Where can you find it? Here’s how!
First off, you have to AGREE when the game asks your consent to providing personal information – specifically your SteamID, Stellar Blade Complete Edition purchase history, and playtime. The game asks you this when you first boot up the game but, in case you missed it for some reason, you can find this agreement under SETTINGS > SYSTEM. You just have to click ACCEPT.
Next, you just need to play the game and keep progressing until you reach the city of Xion. You will need to beat the intro level (which was covered in the game’s demo) as well as the whole level that follows that. If you’re playing at a normal pace, you should reach this part around 3-4 hours. This was the amount of time it took me personally to reach Xion but, full disclosure, I also was kind of looking all around for secrets and whatnot.
Upon reaching Xion, you should be able to see a special chest almost immediately once you regain control of your character again coming from a cutscene and, if you’re a NIKKE player, you’ll recognize the very distinguishable PILGRIM logo on the chest. The game will then give you a few prompts where you will choose which server your NIKKE account is in and it will generate this code once and only once. This will now be the CD-Key you need for the skin. Just input it into your NIKKE CD-Key Redemption Page (you can do so via Blabla, Discord, and in-game itself) and, once successful, you’ll be mailed the ‘Scarlet – Racer’s High’ skin.
That’s it! That’s how you get your NIKKE CD-Key from Stellar Blade. Congrats! You are now the proud owner of a really cool skin for Scarlet!
Maybe you’re wondering why it takes too long to get this skin? We think that’s it’s probably just to safeguard against people who planned to just buy the game, get the code, then refund the game on Steam. By the time you reach Xion, you should be way past the 2-hour grace period that Steam gives for refunds.
