Nine Sols: All Poisons Checklist

Track all 15 poisons in Nine Sols. Use this checklist to reach 100% completion.

Poisons are special collectible items scattered throughout New Kunlun that serve a beneficial purpose rather than a harmful one. When given to Shennong, each poison contributes toward increasing Yi's maximum health, making them an important part of character progression. Despite their name, these items are purely advantageous and act as upgrades rather than threats.

To gain a health boost, you need to collect poisons and turn them in, with each upgrade requiring two of them. There are 15 poisons in total across the game. Most are easy to find and not hidden, while others can be purchased from shops. Although they may seem expensive at first, they become more affordable as you progress, allowing you to eventually obtain them all without too much trouble.

How Poisons Work

Bring poison items to Shennong to raise Yi's maximum health. Each tier of the upgrade uses two poisons, so you want every entry on this list if you plan to max out those bonuses.

Most are found in the world in plain sight; several are sold by vendors such as Chiyou. Early prices can feel steep, but Jin flows more freely later, so you can buy out the shop listings when you are ready. For Shuanshuan's artifact gifts, see the Gifts and Artifacts checklist.
