Where to Find Kara in the Great Desert in Stellar Blade

By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-06-22 14:06:49
After defeating Tachy in Stellar Blade, EVE’s journey leads her to the treacherous Great Desert, where powerful monsters lurk. One of the toughest challenges here is the Behemoth, encountered during the "Encounter" side quest tied to Kaya’s missing sister.
This guide covers everything you need to know to unlock the quest, locate the Behemoth, and defeat it efficiently to claim your rewards—the Sky Ace outfit and the Sisterly Love Trophy/Achievement.

How to Unlock the "Encounter" Side Quest


Before facing the Behemoth, you must first:
  • Complete the "Scavenger's Story" side quest (a prerequisite).
  • Speak to Kaya outside The Sister’s Junk shop in Xion.

  • Once the quest is active, prepare thoroughly—this battle is no easy feat.

    Preparing for the Behemoth Fight


    The Behemoth is one of the strongest enemies in the Great Desert, so proper preparation is key:
    • Spend unused Skill Points to upgrade EVE’s abilities.
    • Stock up on Healing Items and WB Pumps (essential for reviving EVE mid-fight).
    • Equip the best Gear available to maximize defense and attack power.

    Since WB Pumps are single-use per battle, carrying extras ensures you can revive and re-engage if defeated.

    Where to Find the Behemoth in the Great Desert


  • Travel to the Great Desert via Adam’s ship after speaking with Kaya.
  • Head to the Northern Desert and track the "Encounter" mission marker.
  • Avoid unnecessary fights—rush straight to the marked rocky area.
  • Follow the narrow path leading to the Behemoth’s arena.

  • If you die, you’ll respawn near the entrance, so keep WB Pumps ready for a second attempt.

    Behemoth Boss Fight: Best Strategy


    The Behemoth has two phases, each with deadly attacks. Learning its patterns is crucial for survival.

    Phase 1: Basic Attacks


    • Claw Swipes (2-3 hits) – Perfect Dodge or Parry to counter.
    • Wind Attacks – Dodge sideways to avoid damage.
    • Leaping Slam – Run away when it jumps to evade AoE damage.


    Optimal Counters:


    • After dodging, use Retribution Attacks for high damage.
    • When the Behemoth is staggered, unleash Beta AttacksCross Wave is ideal for knocking it down.

    Phase 2: Enraged Mode


    After losing ~50% health, the Behemoth roars and becomes more aggressive:


    • Triple Wind Attack – Sprint and dodge repeatedly.
    • Faster Claw Combos – Stay defensive and wait for openings.


    Winning Tactics:


    • Use Burst Attacks like Tempest or Punishing Edge (with Disable Skill active) to stagger it.
    • Activate Tachy Mode near the end to finish the fight safely.
    Rewards for Defeating the Behemoth


    After the battle:


  • Inspect the corpse to confirm it’s Kaya’s sister, Kara.
  • Return to Kaya in Xion to complete the quest.

  • You’ll receive:


    • Sky Ace Outfit (a stylish cosmetic reward).
    • Sisterly Love Trophy/Achievement.

    Final Tips for Success


    • Master Parrying & Dodging – The Behemoth punishes reckless play.
    • Save Beta & Burst Attacks for critical moments.
    • Use Tachy Mode Wisely – It’s a fight-ender when the Behemoth is low on health.


    With this strategy, you’ll conquer the Behemoth and progress further in Stellar Blade’s gripping story.
