This section of the walkthrough covers the Factory area in Nine Sols. You'll encounter various challenges, including trap floors, laser rooms, and new enemy types. Key objectives include finding treasure chests, activating Root Nodes, and ultimately acquiring the mid-air dash ability.

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    After a scene in a control room, you'll find yourself in the same room. Go left to find a Root Node.
  3. 3
    Head left to a gate, then send your fairy up to hack a node. Grapple upwards, staying on the right side to find a Treasure Chest.
  4. 4
    Go left and down, breaking a rock to access the middle area. Kill the rock monster and hack ropes to reach a chest on the right.
  5. 5
    Continue down, using grapple points. At the bottom, head right to drop a rope shortcut, then drop further to find a big chest with the Kunlun Immortal Portrait.
  6. 6
    Enter the "Factory (Great hall)". Head left, being wary of flame trap floors.
  7. 7
    To the left, kill soldiers and use trap floors to reach an upper platform. Ride a platform up to encounter the Flying Blade enemy.
  8. 8
    To the left of the Flying Blade encounter, you'll find a "CRAZY 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.
  9. 9
    From the laser room, go to the lower left for a Treasure Chest, then head back.
  10. 10
    On the next cycle, head to the upper left. Kill 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.
  12. 12
    Enter the next laser room. Hit the green device to your left for protection, then get the Treasure Chest to your lower right. Drop down to 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 to unlock a door, creating a shortcut.
  15. 15
    Go back to the underground and head left. Navigate 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.
  16. 16
    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 part of a hidden treasure.
  17. 17
    Go back up to the middle level and head left, avoiding falling spikes. Use ropes to go left and find a Root Node.
  18. 18
    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.

    Head back to the broken machine area (right and up) and air dash to get the Abandoned Mines Chip.
  21. 21
    Continue right, killing a Ninja, and stay on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.
  22. 22
    From here, head right to find the "Abandoned Mines" area (note for later exploration).
  23. 23
    Go back and down, heading southeast to a peculiar room where you can "hide inside a container" to reach the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".
  24. 24
    Navigate the Apeman Facility (Depths), using your air dash to cross spike pits. Find a chest at the bottom for money and the Fusang Amulet.
  25. 25
    Continue right, navigating a spike pit. Hack a rope and go down. Note the gap to the left but head right to 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.
Tips
  • Be mindful of flame trap floors and laser rooms; use environmental elements for protection.
  • The mid-air dash ability is crucial for navigating many areas and overcoming obstacles.
  • The "Red Tiger Elite" and "Celestial Spectre: Shangui" are mini-boss encounters that require careful observation of their attack patterns.
  • Collectables like the Kunlun Immortal Portrait, Swift Descent Jade, Abandoned Mines Chip, and Fusang Amulet are found throughout this area.
  • The "Abandoned Mines" area is accessible but marked for later exploration.
