Here is a step-by-step guide to help you open up Aaron's Locker and get your rewards, while engaging more in Stellar Blade's lore.
1. Start the "Looking for My Brother" Side Quest
First, you will need to accept a side quest called "Looking for My Brother". The quest is obtained from NPC Melina, whose brother Aaron is missing. You may accept this quest at the bulletin board in Xion, where you find side quests.Once you've accepted the quest, you'll need to locate Aaron in the Wasteland, which is the game's very first large open space.
2. Travel to the Wasteland and Search for Aaron
If you have already unlocked fast travel, travel to the Wasteland. Fast travel to the last telephone on that side of the map, or if you have not unlocked fast travel, sprint to the far east. Aaron was last seen here, so this is where you should travel.Once in the area, you’ll encounter some platforming challenges, including jumping over or navigating around rocks and stalagmites. Keep heading east, and you’ll come across a pile of junk and wooden crates. Skip this by either jumping over or moving around it, and you’ll find a machine nearby.
3. Complete the Target Challenge
Walk to the machine and touch it. Three floating targets will appear on the ground. Shoot them before they dissipate into the ground. Do not worry if you do not succeed; this can be done a number of times until you manage to do it. After you shoot the targets, the ground where the targets are will crack open, and a pit will be visible.Climb into the pit (yes, don't worry, it's fine!) and you'll find Aaron's corpse. Unfortunately, he's dead, but the good news is that you can steal from his corpse for the important passcode needed in order to unlock his locker. The passcode is "αζαζαζ", but you can't use it until it's in your inventory.
4. Fast Travel Back to Xion
Once you have the passcode, you can use Stellar Blade's quick travel to go directly back to Xion. Tap and hold the X button, and you will be transported back to the main world hub where the bulletin board is located.5. Find Aaron's Locker in Xion
Now that you possess the passcode from Aaron, it's time to head to Aaron's Locker. From the bulletin board of Xion, proceed north. Find a tunnel to Aaron's Locker, which is available just past the info dealer Roxanne.Enter the tunnel, and at the terminal, type the passcode you obtained from Aaron's corpse. When you input the code, the gate to the locker will unlock.
6. Collect Your Rewards
Now! You can grab some useful rewards once Aaron's Locker is opened. First, step on the box at your left and receive crafting resources that will allow you to upgrade your equipment and enhance outfits. These items are instrumental in strengthening your character and even making them more fashionable!
Further back in the locker, there is an aging computer with a green-screened monitor. Activate it to view Aaron's Journal, an important item of information that completes the Stellar Blade background. The journal has some important revelations about the game's story and some of its characters and some insight into the world and world mysteries.
7. Complete the Side Quest
Once you’ve collected your rewards, you’ll have finished both the “Looking for My Brother” quest and the task of unlocking Aaron’s Locker. The quest may be optional, but it’s an excellent way to uncover more about the world of Stellar Blade, as well as unlock valuable resources.
