Empyrean Dist. (Living Area)

From the Pavilion, head west to the Cortex Center. Use your charge attack on the guard to proceed.

After a scene in a control room, head left to find a Root Node. Continue left to a gate and have your fairy hack a node to open it.

Head upwards, navigating ropes and grapple points. On the right side, find a Treasure Chest at the top.

Go left and then down. Look for a breakable rock on the rope to access the middle area. Kill the rock monster below and hack two ropes to reach a chest on the right.

Continue down the normal path, using walls and grapple points. At the bottom, head right to drop a rope for a shortcut. Drop down past a grapple point to find a big chest containing the Kunlun Immortal Portrait.

Head left into the "Factory (Great hall)". Be aware of flame trap floors (grating).

To the left, kill soldiers and head up to the upper platform by jumping on two trap floors. Ride a platform up to encounter the Flying Blade enemy.

To the left of the Flying Blade encounter, past a flame trap, is a room with a giant laser. Wait for it to end, then quickly go south. Kill the archer on the right, then go left to the center. Hit the machine to protect yourself from the laser after killing the swordsman.

From the laser protection machine, go to the lower left to get a Treasure Chest. Watch for a turret on the way back.

On the next laser cycle, head to the upper left. Kill the archer, pass the flame trap, and find a Root Node.

From the Root Node, head left to hack a chest for a Standard Component. Enter the next laser room.

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 the platform to reach the "Factory (Underground)".

Open the immediate Treasure Chest for the Swift Descent Jade.

Head right to exit back to the Factory and go left. Unlock the door to find a shortcut.

Head back 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 the Red Tiger Elite for a Standard Component and hack the console to the right.

Head right into an area with spikes and a mechanical unit. Go down, killing enemies. At the bottom, dash to a Shield Guardian to unlock half of a hidden treasure.

Head back up to the middle level and go left. Watch for falling spikes. Use ropes to go left, ignoring the elevator for now. Go left to a Root Node.

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 where the broken machine was (right and up) and air dash over to get the Abandoned Mines Chip.

Continue right, killing a Ninja. Stay on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.

From the Evacuation Notice, head right to find the "Abandoned Mines" area (note for later). Go back and down when possible, heading southeast.

Find a peculiar room where you can hide inside a container, leading to the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".

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.

Continue right, navigating a spike pit with your air dash. At the end, 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.

From the Root Node, go up the left rope and dash left between spikes to find the mini-boss Celestial Specter: Shanguai.

Defeat Celestial Specter: Shanguai to receive an Herb Catalyst and the Soul-Severing Blade.

Return to the Pavilion, purchase the Enhanced Talisman ability, and give ShuanShuan his gifts. Consider buying Pipe Upgrade Lv. 3 and Arrow: Cloud Piercer S. Hand over map data.

Head back to the last node. From the node, go down and right. Find a room where you can bounce upwards (kill the hornet) and hit a device on the right to lower platforms.

Lower the middle platform and ride it.
