- 2Proceed left and wait out a scene in a control room.
- 3Go left to find a Root Node, then head left to a gate. Hack a node with your fairy to proceed upwards.
- 4Navigate the obstacle course of ropes and grapple points. On the right side, find a Treasure Chest.
- 5Head left and down. Look for a breakable rock to access the middle area. Kill the rock monster below with a charge attack. Hack two ropes down to reach a chest on the right.
- 6Continue down the normal path, using walls and grapple points. At the bottom, head right to drop a rope for a shortcut, then drop past a grapple point to a big chest containing the Kunlun Immortal Portrait.
- 7Head left into the "Factory (Great hall)". Be aware of flame trap floors.
- 8Kill soldiers and head up to the upper platform by jumping on two trap floors. Ride a platform up to encounter Flying Blades; dodge their dive-bomb and slash attacks.
- 9To the left, past a flame trap, is a room with a giant laser. Wait for it to end, then quickly go south, kill the archer, and go left to a machine that protects you from the laser. Kill the swordsman first.

- 14Open the immediate Treasure Chest. Hack it for the Swift Descent Jade.
- 15Head right to exit back to the Factory and go left to unlock a door, creating a shortcut.
- 16Return to the underground and go left. Hop over red spikes and choose the right path down to find the "Red Tiger Elite" mini-boss. Kill him for a Standard Component and hack the console.
- 17Head right to an area with spikes and a mechanical unit. Continue down, killing enemies, to the bottom where you can dash to a Shield Guardian and break it to unlock 1/2 of a hidden treasure.
- 18Head back up to the middle level and go left, watching for falling spikes. Use ropes to go left, and ignore the elevator. Go left to a Root Node.

- 20Return to the area with the broken machine (right and up) and air dash over to get the Abandoned Mines Chip.
- 21Continue right, killing a Ninja, and stay on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.
- 22Go back and down, heading southeast. Enter a peculiar room where you can "hide inside a container" to reach the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".
- 23Head right and navigate the cave area with red spikes. At the bottom, open a chest for money and the Fusang Amulet.
- 24Continue right through a spike pit. Hack the rope and go down. Note the gap to the left but do not go there yet. Head right to find a Root Node.
- 25From the root node, go up the left rope and dash left between spikes to find the mini-boss Celestial Spectre: Shangui.
Tips
- Use charge attacks to break certain rocks and defeat specific enemies.
- Hack nodes with your fairy to open paths or activate mechanisms.
- Be mindful of environmental hazards like flame traps, lasers, and spikes.
- The mid-air dash ability is crucial for navigating later areas and obtaining certain items.
- Utilize the Azure Sand in the Shangui boss fight by shooting arrows to the right of it, so it doesn't break until needed.
