Whether you are looking for details on how to unlock the second Exospine slot, how to upgrade Exospines, or the best ones to upgrade, I’ve got you covered with this Stellar Blade Exospine guide.

Exospines are one of the primary gear items that you can equip on EVE to influence her combat style.

EVE has two Exospine slots, one is accessible in the early game with the other unlocked in the latter half of the game.

Depending on which Exospine you use and the level of upgrade it has, you can achieve different builds.

And that is why, every player must know how to unlock all Exospine slots, how to upgrade these Exospines, and the best ones to use.

So keep reading!

How to unlock the second Exospine slot in Stellar Blade

You can unlock the second Exospine slot by progressing and completing the main mission, Altess Levoire.

Once you complete the mission, head back to Xion and talk to Lily. And that is it.

How to upgrade Exospines in Stellar Blade

In Stellar Blade, you can upgrade Exospines via the Repair Console found at Camps that you can find at multiple locations in different regions and even in Xion.

To upgrade, head to the Repair Console and interact with it.

Doing so will open the EVE menu.

Navigate to the Exospine tab.

There, you will find all the Exospines you currently have.

Select the one that you want to upgrade and use the ‘Enhance’ button to upgrade.

Upgrading Exospines mostly requires Gold and the different varieties of Nano Elements.
