Follow this comprehensive Nine Sols walkthrough to navigate The Factory, overcome traps, defeat enemies like the Flying Blade and Red Tiger Elite, and find key items like the Kunlun Immortal Portrait and Swift Descent Jade.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Pavilion, head west to the "Cortex Center" via the upper walkway. Use a charge attack on the shield guard to proceed.
  2. 2
    After a scene in a control room, you'll find yourself in the same room. Head left to a Root Node, then left again to a gate. Hack a node with your fairy to open the way.
  3. 3
    Head upwards, navigating ropes and grapple points. On the right side, find a Treasure Chest containing an item.
  4. 4
    Continue upwards, then head left and down. Look for a breakable rock on the rope to access the middle area. Defeat the rock monster below with a charge attack, then hack two ropes down to reach a chest on the right.
  5. 5
    Follow the normal path down, using walls and grapple points. At the bottom, head right to drop a rope for a shortcut, then drop past a grapple point to find a big chest with the Kunlun Immortal Portrait.
  6. 6
    Head left into the "Factory (Great hall)". Be aware of flame trap floors (grating).
  7. 7
    To the left, defeat soldiers and use two trap floors to reach an upper platform. Ride a platform further up to encounter the Flying Blade enemy.
  8. 8
    To the left of the Flying Blade encounter, past a flame trap, is a "CRAZY ROOM" with a giant laser. Wait for the laser to end, then quickly go south, defeat the archer, and go left to a machine that protects from the laser. Kill the swordsman first.
  9. 9
    From the laser protection machine, go to the lower left for a Treasure Chest. Return and watch for a turret.
  10. 10
    On the next laser cycle, head to the upper left. Defeat the archer, pass the flame trap, and find a Root Node.
  11. 11
    Heal at the Root Node, then head left to hack a chest for a Standard Component. Enter the next laser room.
  12. 12
    Head left and hit the green device to protect yourself, then get the Treasure Chest to your lower right. Drop down through the middle of this platform to reach the "Factory (Underground)".
  13. 13
    Open the immediate Treasure Chest for the Swift Descent Jade.
  14. 14
    Head right to exit back to the Factory and go left. Unlock the door to find a shortcut.
  15. 15
    Return to the underground and go 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 his right.
  16. 16
    This leads to an area with spikes. Head down, defeating enemies. At the very bottom, dash to a Shield Guardian and break it to unlock half of a hidden treasure.
  17. 17
    Head back up to the middle level and go left, avoiding falling spikes. Use ropes to go left, ignoring the elevator for now. Go left to a Root Node.
  18. 18
    Use the Root Node to be transported back to your mentor, who grants you the mid-air dash ability.
  19. 19
    Use the mid-air dash to navigate the obstacle course.
  20. 20
    Return to the area with the broken machine (right and up) and air dash to get the Abandoned Mines Chip.
  21. 21
    Continue right, defeat a Ninja, and stay on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.
  22. 22
    From this point, heading right leads to the "Abandoned Mines" area, which is noted for later exploration.
  23. 23
    Go back and down (southeast) to find a peculiar room where you can "hide inside a container" to reach the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".
  24. 24
    Once inside the "Apeman Facility (Depths)", head right through a cave area with red spikes. At the bottom, open a chest for money and the Fusang Amulet.
  25. 25
    Continue right, navigating a spike pit using the 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 find a Root Node.
  26. 26
    From the Root Node, go up the left rope and dash left between spikes to find the "Celestial Spectre Shangui" mini-boss.

Boss Fight: Celestial Spectre Shangui

  • Shangui is an "Elite Elite Ninja Boss" similar to Shuigui but tougher with more damage resistance.
  • He replaces mines with a larger, circular mine that shocks a wider radius.
  • His moves include disappearing and leaving a bomb, a two-hit slashing attack, and a crimson attack from above after leaping back.
  • Be ready to jump away from bombs or attack if he stands still. Rush behind him during his crimson attack for free hits.
  • There is Azure Sand on the left of the arena; use arrow shots to the right of it to break the urn when needed.
