Walkthrough

1
From the Pavilion, head west to the "Cortex Center". Use your charge attack on the guard to proceed.
2
After a scene in a control room, find a Root Node. Head left to a gate and have your fairy hack a node.
3
Navigate upwards using ropes and grapple points. Collect a Treasure Chest on the right side.
4
Head left and down. Break a breakable rock to access the middle area. Kill the rock monster and hack ropes to reach a chest on the right.
5
Continue down, using grapple points. Drop a rope for a shortcut, then descend to find a big chest containing the Kunlun Immortal Portrait.
6
Enter the "Factory (Great hall)". Be wary of flame trap floors (grating).
7
To the left, defeat soldiers and use trap floors to reach an upper platform. Defeat the Flying Blade enemy.
8
In the CRAZY ROOM with the giant laser, wait for it to end, then quickly go south. Kill the swordsman, then the archer, and hit the machine in the center to be protected from the laser.
9
Retrieve a Treasure Chest to the lower left, then return.
10
On the next cycle, head to the upper left. Kill the archer and find a Root Node.
11
Hack a chest for a Standard Component. In the next laser room, hit the green device for protection and get the Treasure Chest to your lower right.
12
Drop down to the "Factory (Underground)". Open a chest for the Swift Descent Jade.
13
Head right to exit back to the Factory, unlock the door, and create a shortcut.
14
Go back to the underground and head left. Choose the right path down to face the "Red Tiger Elite" mini-boss. Kill him for a Standard Component and hack the console.
15
Head right, then down. Dash to a Shield Guardian to unlock half of a hidden treasure.
16
Return to the middle level and go left. Ignore the elevator and head to a Root Node.
17
You will be transported to your mentor, who grants you the mid-air dash ability.
18
Use the mid-air dash to navigate the obstacle course.
19
Return to the area with the broken machine and air dash to get the Abandoned Mines Chip.
20
Continue right, staying on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.
21
Head southeast to a peculiar room and hide inside a container to enter the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".
22
Navigate the cave area with red spikes. At the bottom, open a chest for money and the Fusang Amulet.
23
Continue right through a spike pit. Hack a rope and go down. Do not go left yet. Head right to a Root Node.
24
From the root node, go up the left rope and dash left between spikes to find the mini-boss CELESTIAL SPECTER: SHANGUI.

Tips

Use charge attacks on guards with shields.
Wait out the giant laser in the CRAZY ROOM and then quickly activate the protective machine.
The Flying Blade enemy can be countered by dodging its dive-bomb attack.
The Red Tiger Elite is easier in this section due to the environment.
Utilize the Azure Sand in the Shangui fight by shooting arrows to the right of it.
Shangui's attacks have some randomness; be ready to jump away from bombs or rush behind him after his crimson attack.
