A comprehensive walkthrough for Nine Sols' Factory and Underground areas, detailing navigation, enemy encounters, treasure locations, and the Celestial Spectre Shangui boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Pavilion, head west to the "Cortex Center." Use your charge attack on the guard to proceed.
  2. 2
    After a scene in a control room, find a Root Node and proceed left to a gate. Hack the node to open the gate and head up, using ropes and grapple points. Collect a Treasure Chest on the right side at the top.
  3. 3
    Head left and down. Break a rock to access a middle area. Defeat a rock monster and hack ropes to reach a chest on the right.
  4. 4
    Continue down, using grapple points. At the bottom, drop a rope for a shortcut, then drop past a grapple point to find a chest containing the Kunlun Immortal Portrait.
  5. 5
    Enter the "Factory (Great hall)" to the left. Navigate through areas with flame trap floors and new enemies like the Flying Blade.
  6. 6
    In a "CRAZY ROOM" with a giant laser, wait for it to end, then quickly go south. Kill the archer, go left, and hit the machine to gain protection from the laser. Kill the swordsman first.
  7. 7
    Collect a Treasure Chest in the lower left, then return. On the next cycle, head to the upper left, kill the archer, and find a Root Node.
  8. 8
    From the Root Node, hack a chest for a Standard Component. Navigate another laser room by hitting the green device and collect a Treasure Chest. Drop down to the "Factory (Underground)".
  9. 9
    Open the immediate Treasure Chest for the Swift Descent Jade. Head right to exit back to the Factory, then left to unlock a shortcut.
  10. 10
    Return to the underground and go left. Choose the right path down to find the "Red Tiger Elite" mini-boss. Defeat him for a Standard Component and hack the console.
  11. 11
    Head right, then down. Go to the very bottom, dash to a Shield Guardian, and break it to unlock half of a hidden treasure.
  12. 12
    Go back up to the middle level and left. Use ropes to go left, ignoring the elevator for now. Go left to a Root Node.
  13. 13
    Use the Root Node to be transported back to your mentor, who grants you the mid-air dash ability.
  14. 14
    Use the mid-air dash to navigate the obstacle course.
  15. 15
    Head back to where the broken machine was (right and up) and air dash to get the Abandoned Mines Chip.
  16. 16
    Continue right, staying on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.
  17. 17
    Note the "Abandoned Mines" area to the right but do not enter yet. Go back and southeast to a peculiar room where you can "hide inside a container" to reach the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".
  18. 18
    Navigate through the cave area in the "Apeman Facility (Depths)" and open a chest for money and the Fusang Amulet.
  19. 19
    Continue right, navigate a spike pit using air dash, hack a rope, and go down. Note the gap to the left but do not go there yet. Head right to a Root Node.
  20. 20
    From the Root Node, go up the left rope and dash left between spikes to find the Celestial Spectre Shangui boss.

BOSS FIGHT: CELESTIAL SPECTER: SHANGUI

  • Shangui is an "Elite Elite Ninja Boss" similar to Shuigui but tougher with more damage resistance.
  • He replaces mines with a larger, circular shock mine.
  • His moves include disappearing and leaving a bomb, a two-hit slashing attack, and a crimson leaping attack from above.
  • He may also just stand still after disappearing.
  • Be ready to jump away from bombs or attack when he stands still.
  • Rush behind him after his crimson leaping attack for free hits.
  • There is Azure Sand on the left of the area; use arrow shots to the right of it to break the urn when needed.
Tips
  • Use charge attacks on guards with shields.
  • Wait out laser attacks in the "CRAZY ROOM" if you have enough health, or quickly hit the protective machine after the laser stops.
  • The mid-air dash is a game-changer for navigation and combat.
  • Remember the "Abandoned Mines" area for later exploration.
  • When fighting Shangui, use the Azure Sand strategically by shooting the urn to the right of it.
  • Kunlun Immortal Portrait
  • Standard Component (from Red Tiger Elite)
  • Standard Component (from Celestial Spectre Shangui)
  • Swift Descent Jade
