A comprehensive walkthrough for Nine Sols, guiding you through The Factory area, including enemy encounters, puzzles, and item locations like the Kunlun Immortal Portrait and Abandoned Mines Chip.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the Pavilion, head west to the Cortex Center. Use your charge attack on the guard to proceed.
  2. 2
    After a cutscene in a control room, find and use a Root Node. Hack a node to open a gate, then ascend using ropes and grapple points. Collect a Treasure Chest at the top right.
  3. 3
    Head left and down. Break a rock to access a lower area. Kill the rock monster and hack two ropes to reach a chest on the right.
  4. 4
    Continue down the normal path, using walls and grapple points. At the bottom, head right to drop a rope shortcut, then drop past a grapple point to find a big chest containing the Kunlun Immortal Portrait.
  5. 5
    Enter the "Factory (Great hall)". Head left, being wary of flame trap floors (grating).
  6. 6
    To the left, kill soldiers and use trap floors to reach an upper platform. Ride a platform up to encounter the Flying Blade enemy.
  7. 7
    To the left of the Flying Blade encounter, navigate a laser room. 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.
  8. 8
    From the laser protection machine, go to the lower left for a Treasure Chest. Return and watch for a turret.
  9. 9
    On the next laser cycle, head to the upper left. Kill the archer, pass the flame trap, and find a Root Node.
  10. 10
    Heal at the Root Node, then head left to hack a chest for a Standard Component.
  11. 11
    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 through the middle to reach the "Factory (Underground)".
  12. 12
    Open the immediate Treasure Chest for the Swift Descent Jade.
  13. 13
    Head right to exit back to the Factory and go left to unlock a door, creating a shortcut.
  14. 14
    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.
  15. 15
    Kill the "Red Tiger Elite" for a Standard Component and hack the console to the right.
  16. 16
    Proceed right to an area with spikes and a mechanical unit. Head down, killing enemies, and dash to a Shield Guardian to unlock half of a hidden treasure.
  17. 17
    Head back up to the middle level and go left, avoiding falling spikes. Use ropes to go left, ignoring the elevator for now. Go left to a Root Node.
  18. 18
    Use the Root Node to be transported back to your mentor, who grants you the mid-air dash ability.
  19. 19
    Return to the area with the broken machine (right and up) and use your air dash to reach the Abandoned Mines Chip.
  20. 20
    Continue right, killing a Ninja, and stay on the upper path to find the Evacuation Notice for Miners.
  21. 21
    Go back and down when possible, heading southeast to a peculiar room where you can "hide inside a container" to enter the "Apeman Facility (Depths)".
  22. 22
    Navigate through the cave area in the "Apeman Facility (Depths)" (watch for red spikes). At the bottom, open a chest for money and the Fusang Amulet.
  23. 23
    Continue right through a spike pit. Hack a rope and go down. Note the gap to the left but do not go there yet. Head right to find a Root Node.
  24. 24
    From the Root Node, go up the left rope and dash left between spikes to find the mini-boss Celestial Specter: Shangui.

  • Flying Blades can be countered by dodging their dive-bomb and attacking from the air.
  • In the laser rooms, look for green devices to activate for protection.
  • The "Red Tiger Elite" mini-boss is a repeat encounter; use your established strategy.
  • The mid-air dash ability is crucial for navigating later sections and reaching hidden areas.
