Tao Fruits are Key Items inNine Solsthat grant Skill Points and increase slash and talisman damage. As indicated by the in-game description, those effects are activated through “absorption” of the fruit, and some fans may be confused about exactly how that action is performed. This guide is here to alleviate that confusion, and it will also detail the locations of the Tao Fruits inNine Sols.
The section detailing the locations of the Tao Fruits is a work-in-progress and will be updated over time.
Nine Sols: How to Use Tao Fruit
To put things simply, if a player has collected a Tao Fruit, then they have “absorbed” it and received its effects.Metroidvaniafans can confirm this by watching their Skill Points tracker closely when picking up a Tao Fruit, as the points that they grant are awarded immediately. The slash and talisman damage increases that these Key Items provide are not so easily confirmed, though, as those values are not displayed in any of the menus.
