Main story path

The game presents the Sols in roughly this order. Each entry lists the Sol Seal (where one exists) and the location the fight takes place in.

#BossSol SealLocation
1GoumangEqualityAgricultural Zone
2YanlaoLegacyWarehouse Zone
3JiequanDisciplineTransmutation Zone
4Lady EtherealBenevolenceCortex Center / Dream
5Fengs (Fuxi & Nuwa)—Nobility Hall / Banquet Hall

7EigongKnowledgeResearch Institute (final)

Goumang and Yanlao are both reachable from the early game, so you can take them in either order. After Jiequan, Lady Ethereal, the Fengs and Ji fall in sequence, and defeating them gives Kuafu and Ruyi the parts for the Super Mutant Buster, which opens the path to Eigong.

Optional and branching bosses

These are not required to reach the ending, but they carry loot and lore:

  • General: Yingzhao — Radiant Pagoda. A centaur-like biological weapon guarding Kuafu’s Sol; gains new follow-ups in phase two.
  • Xingtian — Boundless Repository. Unleashed by Yanlao during the story; a Battlelord with no self-awareness.
  • Kanghui — Prison. An optional side fight; defeating him grants the Noble Ring. At 1820 HP, dropping him to half (910 HP) opens the nearby liquid banks.

How to prepare per boss

Each Sol’s Seal is a hint about the fight’s theme: Equality (Goumang) is about agriculture and crowds, Discipline (Jiequan) about transmutation and heavy hits, Knowledge (Eigong) about Qi-blade mastery. Read the boss database entry, then spend your CPU on Jades that answer that specific shape — a parry-heavy boss rewards blue Jades, a crowd boss rewards green (Talisman) Jades.

Frequently asked questions

How many bosses are there?

Ten distinct bosses: the Sols of the Tiandao Council plus key rivals. Fuxi and Nuwa share the Fengs fight, so they count as one encounter.

Is there a fixed boss order?

The story gates most bosses in a set sequence, but the Warehouse and Agricultural Zone are both reachable early, so Yanlao and Goumang can be faced in either order. Eigong is always the final boss.

Which bosses are optional?

General: Yingzhao (Radiant Pagoda), Xingtian (Boundless Repository) and Kanghui (Prison) are not on the critical path. Kanghui is a side fight that drops the Noble Ring.
