Beta Energy is required in Stellar Blade to perform special attacks and chain combos and do significant damage to foes and bosses. This guide will help you find all the Beta Cores that may be found in the Great Desert section of Stellar Blade.

Beta Core #1 - Great Desert

Stellar Blade Guide, Beta Core #1 - Great Desert

After your tetrapod lands in the Great Desert, you’ll see a rock formation nearby on your left. Head towards that rock formation.
You'll see several yellow markings and a climbable container. Ignore those for the time being and instead go around it to its left, closer to the other part of the big wall.
There, you’ll see the small yellow marking to climb up the rock initially.
After climbing up, look for the firing target on the left side. Shoot it to release a rope, which you will later use to hop across.
Now, to climb higher, jump across the tree branches and use the rope pulley to reach the top. There’s a container that gives you a Can, too.
Go straight and look for a tiny ledge, then drop off and continue around the area until you find the body with the First Beta Core.

Beta Core #2 - Buried Ruins

Make your way to the North of the Buried Ruins, next to the building entrance.
Head towards the building. From the waypoint, proceed to the building. If required, use your scanning abilities to locate the body.
There will be some Naytibas. Clear them out to improve the experience.
Go inside the structure and see the body that holds the Second Beta Core.

Beta Core #3 - Solar Tower Area

Stellar Blade Guide, Beta Core #3 - Solar Tower Area

The campsite is near the Solar Tower, which is connected to a quest.
This Beta Core is associated with a quest. So, go to the campsite at the bottom of the map on your route to the Solar Tower. To activate the quest, speak with the NPC who is hiding from Naytibas.
Once triggered, follow the quest and proceed to Fallen Angel.
You'll be welcomed with a cutscene and some prizes, including XP, but you'll need to carry on to reach the Beta Core.
Pass through the door and continue along the shattered road. Activate the pulley system to avoid missing the following jump.
Look for more loot: Keep an eye out for boxes and goodies, but the main goal is to get to the conclusion.
Climb over blue containers. Once you've reached the blue containers, defeat the Naytibas before climbing the final ledge with a movable object as a platform.
After hopping across, check for a body in front of a car. This is the Third Beta Core you have been looking for.
