Swift Descent

From the Pavilion, head west to the Cortex Center. Use a charge attack on the guard to proceed.

After a scene in a control room, find a Root Node. Head left to a gate, send your fairy to hack a node, then ascend using ropes and grapple points. Collect a Treasure Chest at the top right.

Head left and down. Break a rock from the rope to access a middle area. Defeat a rock monster, hack two ropes down to reach a chest on the right.

Continue down, using walls and grapple points. At the bottom, head right to drop a rope shortcut, then drop past a grapple point to find a chest containing the Kunlun Immortal Portrait.

Enter the "Factory (Great hall)". Head left, being cautious of flame trap floors.

To the left, kill soldiers and ascend using two trap floors to an upper platform. Ride a platform up to encounter the Flying Blade enemy.

To the left of the Flying Blade encounter, past a flame trap, is a room with a giant laser. Wait for it to end, then quickly go south. Kill the swordsman, then hit the machine in the center to gain protection from the laser.

From the laser protection machine, go to the lower left for a Treasure Chest. Return and watch for a turret.

On the next laser cycle, head to the upper left. Kill the archer, pass the flame trap, and find a Root Node.

From the Root Node, hack a chest to the left for a Standard Component. Enter the next laser room, hit the green device to the left for protection, and collect the Treasure Chest to the lower right.

Drop down through the middle of the platform to reach the "Factory (Underground)". Open the immediate Treasure Chest for the Swift Descent Jade.

Head right to exit back to the Factory and go left, unlocking a door that creates a shortcut.

Return to the underground and head left. Hop over red spikes and choose the right path down to find the Red Tiger Elite mini-boss. Defeat him for a Standard Component and hack the console to the right.

Head right to an area with spikes and a mechanical unit. Go down, killing enemies, and dash to a Shield Guardian at the bottom to unlock half of a hidden treasure.

Return to the middle level and go left, avoiding falling spikes. Use ropes to go left, ignoring the elevator for now. Reach a Root Node on the left.

Use the Root Node to be transported back to your mentor, who grants you the mid-air dash ability.

Use the mid-air dash to navigate the obstacle course.

Return to the broken machine (right and up) and air dash to get the Abandoned Mines Chip.

Continue right, killing a Ninja, and stay on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.

From the Evacuation Notice, head right to find the "Abandoned Mines" area (note for later exploration). Return and head southeast.

Find a peculiar room where you can "hide inside a container" to enter the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".

Navigate the cave area in the Apeman Facility (Depths), using your air dash to avoid red spikes. At the bottom, open a chest for money and the Fusang Amulet.

Continue right, navigating a spike pit with your air dash. Hack the rope at the end and go down. Note the gap to the left but do not go there yet. Head right to a Root Node.

From the Root Node, go up the left rope and dash left between spikes to find the mini-boss, Celestial Spectre Shangui.

BOSS FIGHT: CELESTIAL SPECTER: SHANGUI - Shangui is a tougher version of Shuigui. He uses bombs and a circular shockwave attack. Use Azure Sand on the left for an advantage. Dodge his attacks, rush behind him after his crimson attack, and be ready to jump away from bombs.
