The side quest Recruit Passcode Specialists in Stellar Blade is one of the most challenging optional tasks in the game. You'll need to meticulously explore locations to find all the password fragments.

To complete this quest, you must find six Chapter of Trial documents hidden in Matrix 11, Great Desert, and Wasteland. Each is tied to a separate shrine and contains part of the password needed to unlock a mysterious container on an abandoned ship.

Let's look at how to activate this quest, where to find the shrines, and what you'll receive upon completion.

How to Start the Recruit Passcode Specialists Quest

The Recruit Passcode Specialists quest is activated after you find any of the Chapter of Trial documents scattered throughout the game world. After your first discovery, return to the Bulletin Board in Xion to start the task. If it hasn't appeared yet, progress further in the main storyline.

The task involves opening a locked container on a broken ship in the southwestern part of Wasteland. But even if you try to trick the game and already know the code (βθαλδζ), you won't be able to open the container until you visit all six shrines and collect each part of the code. So you'll still need to wander the locations to find all the puzzle pieces.

Where to Find Chapter of Trial 1 – β (Matrix 11)

After defeating the boss Stalker in Matrix 11, you'll reach an abandoned refugee camp. On the upper level of the shelter, climb the ladder to a small shrine. On the table, surrounded by candles and religious artifacts, in a box lies the first document — Chapter of Trial 1.

If you missed it during the storyline, use fast travel to Rail Yard and walk back to the shelter.

Where to Find Chapter of Trial 2 – θ (Great Desert)

Head to the northeastern corner of the Great Desert. There you'll find a ruined building. Climb to the second floor to see a small shrine with the second code fragment. It's quite easy to find, especially if you use the radar.

Where to Find Chapter of Trial 3 – α (Great Desert)

From the Supply Camp on the way to the Solar Tower, head north. To the left near a broken bridge, a narrow path will appear. Follow it to a shattered building and look for the shrine behind a partially destroyed wall. Interact with the box on the table to get the third letter of the code.

Where to Find Chapter of Trial 4 – λ (Great Desert)

This shrine is located after passing through the Hypertube on the western side of the Great Desert. Complete the mini-game of sliding through obstacles, and Eve will fall into a pool. Swim to the right and follow the path to the shrine. If the Hypertube is not yet available, complete or activate the side quest King of the Tunnel in Xion.

Where to Find Chapter of Trial 5 – δ (Wasteland)

Use fast travel to the Western Great Canyon Supply Camp. From there, move east — you'll come across a shrine hidden in a rock crevice. Inside the box will be the fifth part of the code. It's easy to miss if you don't thoroughly inspect the crevices around the rocks.

Where to Find  Chapter of Trial 6 – ζ (Wasteland)

From the Supply Camp near Altess Levoire Entrance, head northeast along the path where enemies await. Pass the elevator, then turn the corner — in the rock crevice will be the shrine. This is the last fragment in the code sequence.

How to Open the Container and Complete the Quest

After collecting all six Chapter of Trial documents, head to the ship in Wasteland, where the quest marker leads. Approach the container and enter the full password: βθαλδζ. Even if you knew it beforehand, the container won't open until you collect all the documents.

Inside, you'll find the nanocostume La Vie en Rose and Chapter of Salvation 0 – Ω. These are the final elements needed to complete the task. Return to Xion to turn in the quest via the Bulletin Board and receive your reward — 20,000 gold.
