Embark on your journey through the captivating world of Stellar Blade starting with the exploration of Eidos 7, an ancient city claimed by the Naytiba. While navigating this city, players encounter a High-Security Sealed Chest, hinting that a Drone Hacking Tool is required for access as advised by Adam.

Although the urge to search for this tool may arise, players must progress further into the game before obtaining it. These chests are scattered throughout the game, offering valuable loot once unlocked with the indispensable hacking tool. This comprehensive guide will lead you through the process of acquiring and utilizing the Drone Hacking Tool in Stellar Blade to open High-Security Sealed Chests.

Acquiring the Drone Hacking Tool in Stellar Blade

To secure the Drone Hacking Tool, players must first advance the main storyline to Xion. This involves locating and defeating the Alpha Naytiba Gigas in Eidos 7, enlisting Lily to the team, and reaching Xion. Upon meeting the Orcal, powering up the city, and returning to Eve's stronghold at your leisure, Lily will introduce the upgraded Drone, now equipped to serve as a weapon for Eve.

Players can enhance the Drone's capabilities either through Lily or at any Repair Console in a camp. By accessing the Drone menu, players can purchase various gun upgrades with the initial focus on utility, including the Hacking Tool upgrade requiring only one Drone Upgrade Module. While Drone Upgrade Modules are scarce and usually obtained from formidable foes or chests, players should possess at least one by this stage of the game.

Accessing High-Security Chests in Stellar Blade

High-Security Sealed Chests bear a resemblance to regular chests, distinguished by yellow holographic police tape encircling them. Due to their requirement of a Drone upgrade, the contents of these chests are notably more valuable and abundant compared to others in the vicinity. To unlock them, simply approach the chest and allow the Drone to scan and unlock it. Subsequently, Eve can open the chest as usual and claim its contents. This upgrade applies universally to all High-Security Sealed Chests in the game, making it an immediate and essential enhancement for maximizing loot collection.
