The Stellar Blade Secret Request explained

The Stellar Blade Secret Request being refused leads to a confusing situation for players, and it's understandable that you may think you've done something wrong or missed a trick when it happens so that you could have accepted the Request instead. If this has happened to you then don't worry as you haven't messed up – the Secret Request in Stellar Blade cannot be accepted, which means it will be automatically refused as soon as you select it no matter what you do. If this all sounds a bit strange, I'll explain more below.

No, there is no way to accept the Secret Request in Stellar Blade - as mentioned above, it's immediately rejected and refused the moment you select it. This is due to the request itself - somebody asking you to bring them back "little drops that twinkle all green", that are "forbidden" and "overclock the brain". Whatever you think about narcotics, Eve will have a moment of dialogue where she sounds apprehensive about the request before coming down hard in the "users are losers" camp - and automatically refusing the Secret Request.

If you're wondering if this is setting up a change of heart or some sort of twist, then no - there's no way to change Eve's mind later and accept the Secret Request - it literally exists as a combination of world-building and arguably as an Anti-Drug PSA.

He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
