Explore New Kunlun Before the Next Sol
On this page
Nine Sols is framed around a vengeful quest to slay the 9 Sols, the rulers of New Kunlun. The publisher describes the city as interconnected regions, which makes exploration the preparation phase for every boss.
Re-walk the region you thought you finished
Interconnected regions mean a new ability or a new route changes an older one. A district that felt complete often contains a branch that only opens from the other side, and the store describes traversing New Kunlun as its own feature rather than filler between bosses.
Check which of your three answers is failing
The official feature list gives you three tools: deflection, the bow, and the talisman. When a Sol keeps winning, name what is actually beating you, because a boss described as a larger-than-life guardian usually punishes one specific answer while leaving the others open.
Leave and return prepared
Because the Sols are rulers of the realm rather than optional encounters, the honest option is to walk away from a fight you are not ready for and come back with the upgrades the rest of New Kunlun is holding. Nothing in the official description suggests the order is fixed for you.
Start from the mechanics rather than the map: deflection is the default answer and the bow covers what deflection cannot.
