In Stellar Blade, your maximum HP is the most important factor in surviving the game’s brutal boss encounters. To increase your health, you must find and collect Body Cores. Just like Beta Cores, these are found on the bodies of fallen Angels; for every three you retrieve, your Max HP increases permanently.
There are 19 Body Cores hidden throughout the semi-open worlds and linear missions. While you only need to collect a portion of these to reach the maximum health cap and unlock the Body Preparation trophy, finding all of them will help you stay ahead of the difficulty curve.
You must be thorough in your exploration, as many of these are tucked away in optional side-paths or behind environmental platforming challenges in regions like the Wasteland, Matrix 11, and the Great Desert.
To find every core, you should use your drone’s scanner to pick up the distinct glow of dead Angels in the environment.
Pay close attention to the "one-time" areas like Eidos 7 and Spire 4, as these locations contain missable cores that become inaccessible once you pass the story's points of no return. Boosting your health early is the best way to handle the aggressive Naytiba types you'll encounter in the late-game stages.
To help you track down every Body Core, we have listed their locations below and also included them on our Stellar Blade interactive game maps.
