This page details one or more prototype versions of Nine Sols.

A demo of Nine Sols was released two years before the full game came out, playable up to the General Yingzhao boss.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Assets are present for some enemies appearing later in the game. Any way to spawn them?

The first tutorial triggered after the first death was changed:

  • In the demo, Yi meets unmasked Lear right away and must successfully parry and put a talisman on Stone Golem a few times to complete the tutorial.
  • In the final version, Yi must do so on masked Lear instead.
