How to get all endings in Stellar Blade

Stellar Blade has three endings:

Good (Return to the Colony)
Bad (Cost of Lost Memories)
Secret Finale (Making New Memories)

The factor that makes acquiring all of them in one go is the game's save system. You can mark your progress in only one slot. Furthermore, the game only has an auto-save feature. While you can see all endings in one playthrough, you must follow a complicated procedure to achieve it.

Before doing that, you must know about all the points of no return. There are three of them:

The first point is when you complete the Great Desert - Abyss Levoire objective. Adam will ask if you're ready to head to the Orbit Elevator. You can't take on side missions in Xion if you say "yes."
The second point is after completing the objectives in Orbit Elevator. This will be the final time you'll be allowed to explore the previous regions of Stellar Blade (except the interior of Xion). If you agree to trace the bike signal, you'll head to the Nest, the game's final area.
The final point of no return is going to the camp inside the Nest.

Another mechanic you need to understand is Lily's bar. It is a percentage-centered graphic that will progress after seeing certain events, meeting some characters, and completing side quests. There's no way to check its progress at command. It only appears on the top right of the screen when you progress it. You don't need to find every collectible to fill Lily's bar completely.

The good ending has no prerequisites. Simply reject taking Adam's hand during the last mission, EVE Protocol.
For the bad ending, ensure Lily's bar is less than 100% when at the first point of no return (Orbit Elevator). After that, accept Adam's hand during the last mission.
To get the secret conclusion of the game, Lily's bar must be 100% when at the first point of no return. You'll know it is complete when you see the lock below Lily's silhouette break. During the first point of no return, she will ask you about going to Eidos 9. This unlocks an additional mission, Secret Garden, which you must complete. After that, accept Adam's hand during the last mission, EVE Protocol. While the boss fight will be the same as the bad ending, the concluding cutscene will be different.

How to get all endings in one run

Here's the process to get all finales:

Keep track of Lily's bar. Once it reaches 97-99%, stop acquiring collectibles and create a backup save. For PS5, go to Settings -> Storage -> Saved Data -> PS5 Games -> Upload to Cloud Storage. For PC, make a copy of the saved file as a backup. Now complete Abyss Levoire and follow the story. Take Adam's hand at the final mission to get the bad ending.

Next, load the backup save and progress Liliy's bar to 100%. Complete Eidos 9 and make another backup save before visiting the camp inside the Nest. Progress the story, and when Adam offers his hand, choose to either accept or reject. Reload the new backup save, and when you're presented with the same choice, select the other option.
