The Nine Sols experience

Hmm...

...I defeated Goumang first try with four Pipe charges, 150 health, and just a level 2 Medicine Pipe. What made defeating Goumang so difficult?

What? How?? The tint zombie kept killing me with the staffs

Dodge, jump, or parry.

Much harder when you're getting your ass kicked by the other one.

Dodge away from the trajectory of crimson flame attacks, and jump over the fire to avoid walking on it and getting burnt to a crisp. Simply dodge or parry the arm sweeps. Of course, I can't entirely remember if you CAN block the arm sweeps, because I fought Goumang probably about three or four weeks ago...

I've already beaten her, im going back to the apeman village
This post is eight months old I dunno how you found it

I searched the "Nine Sols" tag

Wait how far into the game are you?

Just going back to the Apeman village. Killed the old guy whose name I forgot pretty recently. Almost ready to fight Jiequan.

Oh, if you thought Goumang was annoying, just wait until you see the second/third-to-last Solarians...

Fuxi and Nuwa? Yeah I watched my dad fight them (I didn't see the story tho) they look like hell

Those two took me somewhere around 15 attempts, the other one (literally ancient) Solarian took me 4.

Fifteen? How????

Advanced Full Control, three additional Azure Sand Magazines, Cloud Piercer X. You can stun Fuxi with Azure Bow, a successful Unbounded Counter, and a 5-Qi Talisman (Advanced Full Control only). I recommend using Steely Jade, Iron Skin Jade, Breather Jade, and Quick Dose Jade. You could probably substitute a Jade with Immovable Jade to deal more damage when Fuxi is stunned.

Oh, and maybe around 195 or 210 Health, 6 additional Pipe Vials, and a Lv. 6 or Lv. 7 Medicine Pipe.

How long have you taken? I've been at it for about 40 hours and am at the final point of the game.

Around that amount of time for me too.

Yeah i suck ass at video games.

I would just equip the Cultivation Jade and go to a specific Root Node with a high-tier enemy near it, I would shoot it with the Azure Bow from behind, then a Charged Thrust, and three Slashes. Also, before you confront the fifth Solarian, search everywhere you possibly can on the map, especially places where you can hack things with the Mystic Nymph.
