Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Pavilion, head west to the Cortex Center. Use a 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. Use your fairy to hack a node, then ascend using ropes and grapple points.
  3. 3
    Fight the Yellow Hornet, then grapple upwards to the right to find a Treasure Chest.
  4. 4
    Head left and down. Look for a breakable rock to access a middle area. Defeat a rock monster and hack two ropes to reach a chest on the right.
  5. 5
    Continue down the normal path, using walls and grapple points. Drop a rope on the right for a shortcut, then drop past a grapple point to find the Kunlun Immortal Portrait in a big chest.
  6. 6
    Enter the "Factory (Great hall)" to the left. Be wary of flame trap floors (grating).
  7. 7
    To the left, kill soldiers and ascend using trap floors and a platform to reach an upper platform. Fight the Flying Blade enemy.
  8. 8
    To the left of the upper platform is a "CRAZY ROOM" with a giant laser. Wait for the laser to end, then quickly go south, kill the archer, and go left to a machine that protects from the laser. Kill the swordsman first.
  9. 9
    From the laser protection machine, go to the lower left for a Treasure Chest, then return.
  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 hack a chest to the left for a Standard Component. Enter another laser room.
  12. 12
    Head left, hit the green device to protect yourself, then get the Treasure Chest to your lower right. Drop down through the middle to reach 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
    Return to the underground and go left. Hop over red spikes and choose the right path down to face the "Red Tiger Elite" mini-boss.
  16. 16
    Kill the Red Tiger Elite for a Standard Component and hack the console to the right.
  17. 17
    Head right to an area with spikes and a mechanical unit. Go down, killing enemies, to the very bottom. Dash to a Shield Guardian, break it to unlock half of a hidden treasure.
  18. 18
    Return to the middle level and go left, watching for falling spikes. Use ropes to go left, ignoring the elevator for now. Go left to a Root Node.
  19. 19
    Use the Root Node to be transported back to your mentor, who grants you the mid-air dash ability.
  20. 20
    Use the mid-air dash to navigate the obstacle course.
  21. 21
    Return to the area with the broken machine (right and up) and air dash to get the Abandoned Mines Chip.
  22. 22
    Continue right, killing a Ninja, and stay on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.
  23. 23
    From here, head right to find the "Abandoned Mines" area (note for later).
  24. 24
    Go back and down southeast to a peculiar room where you can "hide inside a container" to enter the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".
  25. 25
    Navigate the cave area in the Apeman Facility (Depths), using your air dash to avoid red spikes. Find a chest at the bottom containing money and the Fusang Amulet.
  26. 26
    Continue right through a spike pit. Hack a rope and go down. Note the gap to the left but proceed right to a Root Node.
  27. 27
    From the Root Node, go up the left rope and dash left between spikes to find the mini-boss, Celestial Specter: Shanguai.
Tips
  • Utilize the charge attack on shielded enemies.
  • The mid-air dash is crucial for navigating many platforming sections and reaching hidden areas.
  • Pay attention to environmental hazards like flame traps and lasers; use protective devices when available.
  • The Celestial Specter Shangui fight is similar to Shuigui but tougher; utilize Azure Sand for an advantage and be prepared for randomized attacks.
  • Remember to backtrack to previously inaccessible areas once new abilities like the mid-air dash are acquired.
