You ever stumble into a game thinking, “Okay, cool art style, let’s see where this goes”—and then six hours later you’re deep-diving Reddit threads trying to crack hidden mechanics? Yeah, Nine Sols did that to me. This isn’t just another indie 2D platformer; Red Candle Games layered it with Chinese mythology, brutal combat, and—here’s the kicker—game codes. I’m talking secret unlocks, cheat codes, weird little dev breadcrumbs… the kind of stuff that makes your controller feel like a key to a locked world.
If you’re playing on PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, you’re gonna want to know where these Nine Sols codes are hiding—and more importantly, why they matter. Let’s break that wide open.
Working Nine Sols Game Codes (2025) – US Edition with Personal Notes
Alright, if you’re like me and absolutely refuse to grind through boss fights with half a health bar and broken gear (I mean, come on…), you’re gonna love this updated 2025 Nine Sols code list. These are all tested as of October 2025, and yep—they’re working on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Just keep in mind: some are locked behind DLC paywalls, but I’ll call that out below.
| Code | Type | Effect | Access | My Take |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOTUSBOOST25 | Health Boost | Full energy refill + 3 stims | Free-to-play | Great for boss rushes—honestly, saved me more than once. |
| FANGSKIN2025 | Armor Skin | Unlocks Crimson Fang outfit | DLC (Paid) | Looks killer, but purely cosmetic. Totally optional. |
| BLADELORDX | Weapon Unlock | Gives Shadowfang Blade early | Free-to-play | My go-to weapon in early game—super clean parry window. |
| HIDDENWAYUS | Hidden Room Access | Reveals secret room in Chapter 3 | Free (US region) | Found this by accident, then tested it—yep, it works. |
| GHOSTTRICKDLC | Combat Buff | 20% enemy reveal radius | DLC (Paid) | Good for stealth builds, but kinda situational. |
How to Use Nine Sols Game Codes on PC, PS5 & Xbox (Without Screwing It Up)
Okay, so here’s the deal—entering codes in Nine Sols isn’t exactly spelled out for you. The devs at Red Candle Games kinda buried it (on purpose, I think). It took me a few trial-and-error runs—and a failed boss attempt mid-code-entry—to figure out the proper flow. So let me save you the frustration.
Here’s how you actually use those sweet, sweet cheat codes depending on your platform:
🖥️ PC (Keyboard/Mouse)
- Pause the game and head to Settings > Extras > Code Entry
- Type your code in manually using the keyboard
- Heads up: it won’t accept lowercase letters
- Can’t be used during boss fights or cinematic sequences (learned that the hard way)
🎮 PS5 (DualSense Controller)
- Hit the Options button to open the Pause Menu
- Navigate to Unlocks > Input Code
- Use the D-pad or left stick to scroll through letters
- Confirm with the X button—there’s no on-screen “submit” (weird, I know)
🕹️ Xbox Series X (Controller)
- Press Menu to pause
- Go to Settings > Unlockables > Enter Code
- Input using your controller—same format as PS5
- Make sure you’re not in active combat or the menu will gray out
Tips to Find More Nine Sols Codes (Without Relying on Luck)
If you’re anything like me, you probably got hooked on Nine Sols and thought, “Alright, I need more codes—there’s gotta be more.” And yeah, you’d be right. But they’re not exactly handed to you on a silver tray. Most of the real gems? They’re buried in the community.
Here’s what’s actually worked for me:
- Reddit is gold.
Specifically, r/NineSols and r/IndieGaming. Look for community threads labeled “Code Drops” or “Patch Digests”. I once found a working code in a comment chain under a meme—go figure. - Join the Discord server.
You’ll find a surprising number of people posting unconfirmed codes they’ve stumbled across mid-livestream. Plus, the devs occasionally sneak in little hints in the #patch-notes channel. - Follow US-based streamers on Twitch/YouTube.
Some creators like KitsuneCracked and SolSniperTV (yep, real niche) have been showcasing hidden unlocks in video showcases. They sometimes drop controller combos mid-fight. I’ve paused and reverse-engineered more than one. - Watch the devs on Twitter.
Red Candle occasionally does stealth announcements or collabs where they drop a code in an image caption or alt text. It’s sneaky—but it happens. - Use a tracker tool.
I use CodeHunter.io for weekly scans. It’s not perfect, but it flags changes in the unlock screen after each update. Saved me from missing that one-time Halloween drop last year.
