Where to Buy Nano Materials in Stellar Blade

After defeating the Gigas boss, you’ll gain access to the city of Xion, where merchants sell the Nano Materials needed for crafting Exospines. The cost varies based on the rarity of the Nano Material you are looking for, but you can always acquire more money by revisiting previously cleared areas and killing the Naytiba there.

How to Search Crates for Nano Materials

The crates scattered throughout Stellar Blade often have valuable items, including Nano Elements. To ensure you don’t miss any:

  • Continuously use the Scan feature to detect these crates.
  • Upgrade your scanning ability to increase its effectiveness and range.

Venturing off the main paths can lead to lucrative finds. Pay attention to less-traveled areas that might hide valuable crates, especially those containing Exospine and Suit upgrades. These hidden spots are often easy to miss, making them excellent sources of rare Nano Materials.

Not only can Crates provide a steady supply of Nano Materials, but they might also contain other crucial items. Some might have ammunition in them, which might be particularly useful if you use the Drone gun a lot. Keep in mind that you won’t always be able to open any crate or chest you find. High-Security chests require a Drone upgrade before they can be unlocked.
