Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Jade Empire - Strategy Guide (Page 04).


        >  "What's wrong?"
        >  "If you won't even try to help yourself, I won't help you."
        >  "I'm not interested in helping you, ghost!"


  This will yield you a small amount of Closed Fist points. Make your way out
  of the quarry and back to the orphanage area. Behind the orphanage, you can
  find a Bamboo Cask with silver after beating the Rat Demon that is intent
  on guarding it... and eating your toes. Afterwards, continue the main
  quest by heading through the next archway. Make sure you pay attention
  during the next cutscene as you can hear the password to disable those who
  guard the dam. Shao Hua. Defeat the Imperial Soldier and pursue the Lotus
  Assassin. Unfortunately, the guy curls up the drawbridge before you can set
  foot on it. Head to the right and hit the switch to lower the thing again,
  A-Team style.

  Proceed over the bridge and check the - trapped - Bamboo Casks for silver
  pieces. Head up the hill and you'll be brought to a standstill by a new
  vision of the Water Dragon. Tell her anything you want, she'll still give
  you a shitty speech about the guardian of the ruins. Now that all this is
  done, run through the archway, toward the Dam Site.

  It would be a good idea to SAVE your game here. Then head straight ahead and
  meet up with a little girl. This is Wild Flower.


        >  "Who are you?"
        >  "Make sense, girl!"


  Now you have to face off against the Guardian Demon of this place, of whom
  the Water Dragon said that he would be an ally. Wow, he's so friendly right
  now... sarcastically speaking. Anyways, Chai Ka isn't easy to overcome with
  ordinary jump-over-and-bash strategies. He will use his Area Attack a lot
  when you try to get behind him. It's best to roll sideways, before he does
  his strikes, and nail him with a small combo. Use weapons here or you'll be
  fighting him forever. Once he's almost dead, he speaks to you in total
  bewilderment.


        >  "I am --Your Name Here--"
        >  "You better tell me what's going on here!"
        >  "You better make yourself useful."
        >  "So what happens now?"
        >  "What have you done to her, demon?"
        >  "If you're coming with me, let's go."
        >  "There's nothing else I want to ask."
        >  "What would I need it for?"
        >  "Come on. You and Chai Ka are with me now."
        >  --Choose whoever you want--


      +--------------------+
        Main Quest Updated
      +--------------------+
        Hui the Brave
         -> Return to Hui

       The Lotus Assassins tricked Chai Ka the Heavenly Gate
       Guardian out of the amulet piece he was protecting, but he
       managed to preserve some of what was rightfully yours: a
       powerful gem you can add to your amulet. Return to Hui the
       Brave in the Teahouse and tell her what you have learned.
      +----------------+


  You will get Wild Flower as a Follower, an Inferior Scholar Gem, and the
  machine called the Inscrutable Power Source for beating the demon. From
  where you entered, take the left path and open the chest at the end to learn
  The River of Time technique, then head back. Enter the red chapel and read
  the scrollstand for XP, as well as lowering the drawbridge with the switch
  and opening the trapped chest for silver and a Flawed Warrior Gem.

  Now run inbetween the two golem sentries and they will ask you for the word
  you heard earlier. Tell them Shao Hua and they will let you pass. Head all
  the way down and make your way to the bridge controls unscathed.


        >  [Remove the Jade Heart and disable the dam so it can never close]
        >  [Remove the Jade Heart]


      +--------------------+
        Main Quest Updated
      +--------------------+
        The Great Dam
         -> Talk to Jiang

       You have destroyed the controls of the Great Dam as
       Merchant Jiang in Tien's Landing asked. Bring the Jade
       Heart, a part of the console, to Jiang at his shop in Beggar's
       Pier for a reward.
      +----------------+

  Now you get a LOT of Closed Fist points. Make your way up the stairs again
  and there will be new enemies waiting for you. You get to talk to them, but
  no matter what you choose, they will always choose to assault you. Make
  sure you take out the Lotus Assassin first, then the rest. Once they're
  dead, use the nearby drawbridge to get back to the very area you first
  started the game in. You should know how to get to Tien's Landing from here.
  Do so now.

  When you near the exit towards Tien's Landing, Silk Fox will appear again.


        >  "Another ambush? You barely escaped last time."
        >  "I will not be your errand-boy!"
        >  "What do you want for this information?"
        >  "He is Sun Li the Glorious Strategist, the Emperor's
           brother."
        >  "Do not call me a liar!"
        >  "Help me defeat Death's Hand."


      +---------------------+
        Sidequest Completed
      +---------------------+
        A Woman in Black

       You encountered the woman in black again. Her name is Silk
       Fox.
      +----------------+


      +---------------------+
        Main Quest Received
      +---------------------+
        Silk Fox
         -> The Silk Fox

       You met the mysterious woman known as Silk Fox in the
       ruins outside Tien's Landing. She did not join you on your
       journey, but if you reach the Imperial City, she may assist you
       in finding Master Li. It seems clear that Silk Fox enjoys
       manipulating those around her.
      +----------------+


  When back in Tien's Landing, head for the Teahouse once more. Inside, Hui
  will still be waiting. Speak to her.


        >  "The Lotus Assassins already took the amulet from the ruins."
        >  "I have a lot ahead of me. I should go."


      +----------------------+
        Main Quest Completed
      +----------------------+
        Hui the Brave

       Hui has completed her sworn duty to Master Li and has gone
       off to resume her life now that it is once again her own.
      +----------------+


  Now exit the Teahouse and make your way to Beggar's Pier. It's the spot with
  all the beggars and courtesans, where you first met Captain Ing. Walk along
  the left side wall and eventually a cutscene should start. Ing has given up
  all hope and his drinking away his troubles with the help of merchant Jiang's
  expensive wines. Go talk to the ripoff.


        >  "It's right here."
        >  "This town will be stronger for learning to live without the dam."
        >  "Don't forget who got you here. I certainly won't."
        >  "Goodbye."


      +----------------------+
        Main Quest Completed
      +----------------------+
        The Great Dam

       By sabotaging the dam, you doomed the town of Tien's
       Landing to a long and slow death, but at least Merchant Jiang
       lined your pockets with silver.
      +----------------+


  You receive a Gem of Purpose and 2600 silver for doing this. If you continue
  following the leftmost wall, you will eventually meet up with Darting Lynx,
  from whom you can buy some new techniques. I suggest buying the Balance of
  Nature, which has no penalties and delivers a big upgrade to your Focus,
  which you will definitely be putting to use on the Pirate Isle. Also, make
  sure you pay a visit to Jian the Iron Fist and ask him to train you. You
  should have gained enough Closed Fist points by now.

  Defeating Jian isn't all that hard, just make sure you don't get caught up
  in the Tempest's Area Attack or Power Attack and you should be fine. This
  also means you should not try to hop behind him when he's wielding the
  Tempest style (you can see that he is using his magic from his stance). Lure
  him into using his normal, martial style, and then inflict major damage with
  the jump-behind-and-kick-arse technique. When he's reached about 1/8 of his
  health gauge, he will stop and teach you the Tempest style.


      +---------------------+
        Sidequest Completed
      +---------------------+
        An Ancient Game

       After you faced the aged master in battle, Jian the Iron Fist
       agreed to train you in the basic techniques of Tempest, a
       style fueled by discord in the practitioner's soul.
      +----------------+


  When you're done with everything here, save your game and head over to the
  Beggar's Pier once more. Walk to its far end while keeping to the right and
  you should eventually see Ru the Boatswain. Tell him to take you to the lair
  of the pirates. The game reloads and you're on the tropical isle before you
  know it.

  Tell Ru "Very well" and walk forward until a cutscene triggers. An old pirate
  is being mocked by his younger colleagues. Eventually, he runs off the pier,
  to a location close to your position. Approach him and a dialogue will
  automatically start.


        >  "Who are you?"
        >  "I better kill you to keep you quiet."
        >  "Sounds like a good idea."


  Now walk up the pier and interact with the rope. The cannon will drop down,
  taking the pirates (and the innocent slave with them) down to the depths of
  the waters. This will give you Closed Fist points. Say goodbye to Cheung,
  then walk over the wooden walkways until you get to a platform full of
  pirates. Be careful here, use your Area Attack a lot or you'll be ganged
  upon. Fortunately, the pirates aren't really tough. Try to take out those
  with the longswords first, since they have the farthest reach. When they're
  all dead, read the scrollstand, check the vase for an Intimidation Gem and
  some silver, and eventually use the Focus Shrine should your Focus Gauge
  have run empty during the previous fights.

  There's only one way to go from here if you want to progress. Enjoy the
  scenery as you head towards your next fight. The area that follows seems to
  be the slave chamber. In a cutscene, you will see how a mysterious man, Sky,
  cuts down pirates like nothing. When more appear, he drags you into his
  fight by mentioning you. With his help, you should be able to easily finish
  the ruffians off. Afterwards, Sky speaks to you.


        >  "I should kill you for that little stunt!"
        >  "Why are you here?"
        >  "Is this man Gao the Greater?"
        >  "Let's talk about this plan of yours. How do we get past
           that door?"
        >  "I don't think of pirates as the ingenious type."
        >  "This seems awfully convenient."
        >  "If you betray me, I'll kill you."
        >  "I trained under Master Li of Two Rivers."
        >  "Perhaps you've just never seen a properly trained
           warrior."


  After that, a familiar woman talks to you. Yeung Yifong, Fuyao's mother.


        >  "How did you end up here?"
        >  "I don't have time to look for your daughter."


      +--------------------+
        Sidequest Received
      +--------------------+
        Yifong and Fuyao
         -> Find the Slave Breaker

       Yifong's daughter, Fuyao, has been captured by pirates. She is
       powerless to deal with these brutal men. Find Fuyao and
       rescue her from the pirates.
      +----------------+


  You didn't agree to help her, yet you still get a quest? How's that for some
  linear gameplay? Anyway, there's still only one way to go, and that's up,
  towards the door. As you approach the construction, Sky holds the lever
  down. You can now open the door. Behind it are some fresh pirates to deal
  with. Make good use of the small area you fight in. Afterwards, check the
  chest (it's trapped) and make use of the Spirit Font if you need it.

  Head up the next set of wooden stairs. Eventually, a new cutscene should
  trigger. It seems we've finally met Gao the Greater, and another, strange
  man called Inquisitor Lim. Part of the storyline is unfolded here. Once
  they're done, walk around the walkway until you find a way to enter their
  quarters. To your surprise, the mad scientist will help you beat his pirate
  guardians. It seems he is not too happy with his current position.


        >  "Who are you?"
        >  "What else can you do?"
        >  "You built Gao a special flyer?"
        >  "Will you help me against Gao and the Lotus Assassins?"
        >  "I agree. I will see what I can do."
        >  "Goodbye."


  Open the chest in this room for 175 silver, then head to the second level of
  these quarters. Keep heading up the stairs until you get to a wide area where
  you, again, will face off against several pirates. Same story. Kill them,
  then search the chest for fresh silver, and walk into the carved path that
  lies near it. Eventually you should meet up with Fuyao and the Slave Breaker,
  who will attack you. Defeat them and Yeung Yifong will show up. Time to earn
  Closed Fist points once again |>..<| Muahahahaha.


        >  "I guess the slave breaker didn't finish with this one."
        >  "Gao is not selling these slaves now. I am."
        >  "At least they'll be together. It's a deal."



      +---------------------+
        Sidequest Completed
      +---------------------+
        Yifong and Fuyao

       Lordling Lun paid you well for Yifong and Fuyao.
      +----------------+


  You also get some gold for this. Exit the slave quarters and head up the
  staircase to the left of the platform. You will meet up with more pirates on
  the elevated platform. Oldskool hack'n slashing. Finish them off, then
  proceed into the Workshop.

  Only one way to go here, and that's into the big building. There, one of the
  more difficult challenges await you. This is your first encounter with the
  fearsome Horse Demons. These abominations will fire orbs of flame at you
  from afar, immolating you. They also have a fiery aura that will hurt you
  if you physically touch them (Martial and Weapon styles). Upon death, they
  may explode, leaving a painful fire upon your limbs. Make sure to deal with
  them from BEHIND, even if they keep doing Area Attacks, you will be able
  to beat them eventually.

  When they're dead, ordinary pirates come storming into the workshop. They are
  lead by a brutish Ogre Guard. Fortunately, this wave isn't quite as hard as
  the demons you first faced. Save your weapon for the Ogre Guard, and first
  deal with the pirates. When they're dead, you've got a lot of reading to do
  around here. There's one bookstand and two scrollstands around, one of which
  contains the Configuration of the Horse. Also check the chest for 750 silver
  and a Flawed Warrior Gem.

  Now make your way to the Marvelous Dragonfly, the flyer levitating in the
  center of the workshop. Next to it are the Dragonfly Controls. Use them to
  make the Dragonfly shoot a missile into the cargo doors, opening a new path
  to hidden treasures. Open the prison door and you will meet up with an
  elephant demon. It will attack you no matter what you say. This beast is
  agressive so make sure you keep nimble and moving. Try to lure it into
  attacking, then jump behind it and pounce it with a quick combo. If you try
  to jump behind it without the elephant attacking you, there's a big chance
  it will cast you away with its Area Attack. Once you defeat it, use the
  nearby Focus Shrine if you need it, then search all containers here for
  silver and some gems, one of which is the unique Gem of the Frail Scholar.

  Exit the demon's territory and head through the door the Ogre Guard bashed
  open some moments before. The next set of stairs lead up to Gao the Greater's
  lair, so make sure you save. Before you enter Gao's territory, circumvent the
  octagonal construction and crash the bonsai tree at its backside for some
  silver and a gem. Then approach Gao the Greater. Tell him whatever you wish,
  though you should act with malice if you want to be Closed Fist. No matter
  what, you will end up battling Gao the Greater.

  As long as you take out all of his pirate allies, Gao won't be much of a
  problem. Take out the weaklings first, they're easy to dispose of, but do
  make sure that you're not suddenly blindsided by Gao. If you can get your
  follower to attack Gao, so much the better. When it's finally one-on-one,
  use normal tactics to beat Gao. He fires magic with ease and does it often,
  but the only thing that could possibly worry you is the area attack which
  can slow or immolate you. Otherwise, you shouldn't really have any trouble
  killing him. When he's dead, Sky comes storming in, with Kang in his wake.


        >  "Where have you been?"
        >  "You know I did. Get to the point."
        >  "That's horrible!"
        >  "I've seen similar evidence."
        >  "It will be good to have you along."
        >  "Stumbled across? You mean stole."
        >  "Glad to have you aboard, Sky."


  Open the chests in Gao's quarters for silver and the Zither Case, which is a
  plot item for the Zither of Discord quest. Also read the bookstand, which
  should complete a book set, granting you the 'Strength of Wood' technique
  as a reward. Afterwards, hurry yourself back to the Workshop, where Kang
  and Sky are already waiting.


        >  "I have an Inscrutable Power Source."
        >  "Okay, let's get out of here."


  Choose whether you want to beat the flyer mini-game or not. I personally
  chose to evade them, but that's because I'm not good at flying the damn thing
  around ;) Whatever you choose, you will eventually make it to your base camp
  in Tien's Landing, with two new followers in your footsteps. Now there's
  only one thing left to do: finding a wind map.

  First things first, though, head over to Beggar's Pier and head into the
  grassy area once again. Speak to Scholar Six Heavens, now that you have
  found the Zither Case.


        >  "I found both of the components you were looking for."
        >  "What do you need me to do?"
        >  "I'll do it."
        >  "Where is this spot?"
        >  "Goodbye."


      +-------------------+
        Sidequest Updated
      +-------------------+
        The Zither of Discord
         -> Find the Zither's Bridge

       Having recovered the strings and case, you have agreed to
       help Scholar Six Heavens find the bridge to the Zither of
       Discord, the final piece he would need to reconstruct the
       ancient instrument.
      +----------------+


  Now that this is done, go to the town square. It's the place where you found
  Minister Sheng and his guard earlier, remember? Where the messenger asked
  you to help Lord Yun. Head through the gate nearest to this messenger and
  you will arrive in the Great Southern Forest. Save, because immediately
  after you will be onassaulted by several Lost Spirits. These enemies are the
  most annoying in the entire game, not too powerful, but their numbers make
  them a pain to deal with. Make sure to close the distance between you and
  them with forward rolls (B+UP) and get behind them to disperse them with a
  martial style. Always take out Lost Spirits before other ghosts, because
  otherwise they will keep pelting their greenish projectiles at you, which
  can very well blindside you. When one-on-one, you can BLOCK but not DODGE
  their green projectiles and you can DODGE but not BLOCK the blue ones. Keep
  these guidelines in mind when facing them.

  Once they're dead, Lord Yun runs off the stairs.


        >  "Not many people have my skills."
        >  "Perhaps there's some way I can help you."
        >  "I heard that you needed help opening the forest for travel
           again."
        >  "Where did you acquire a wind map that would cover the
           distance?"
        >  "It seems I need your wind map to travel north."
        >  "What do you propose?"
        >  "You have a deal. I'll find out what's wrong with your land."
        >  "Who is the Forest Shadow?"
        >  "I've heard enough about this fox spirit. What do I need to do?"
        >  "She could be behind this. I'll just eliminate her."
        >  "I need that wind map, so I have work to do."


      +--------------------+
        Main Quest Updated
      +--------------------+
        The Sickened Forest
         -> Find Spear Catches Leaf

       In return for your help, Lord Yun has offered you a copy of a
       highly prized wind map that covers the skies between Tien's
       Landing and the Imperial City. Impressed with your skills, he
       has asked that you find a cure for the blight that affects his
       forest.
      +----------------+


  Run up the concrete (WHA? Concrete in a forest?! Whatever.) and you should
  reach a clearing once again. Two Lost Spirits and a normal ghost pop up to
  make your life a misery. Notice that, if you wish, you can run over to the
  shrine that lies behind them. This will trigger some yellow-lit patches over
  the forest floor for a limited amount of time, which will damage all spirits
  that pass through. I usually only make use of it on Grand Master difficulty,
  as on lower difficulties the ghosts are easily disposed without the shrine's
  support.

  Though Yun told you to take a left, we will go right here. Run off the hill
  and talk to the Red Minister waiting there. Don't forget to check the bones
  on your way there.


        >  "Who are you, spirit?"
        >  "I see trees tearing and water churning at the rocks, and I
           see time destroying all this because it is weak."
        >  "It would be an honor to serve."
        >  "You want me to repair your instrument?"
        >  "Why do you want him dead?"
        >  "I really don't care what happens to the scholar. You have
           a deal."
        >  "How did you get past the ghosts?"
        >  "I have the bridge here. It's all yours."
        >  "I hope you at least made him suffer."


      +---------------------+
        Sidequest Completed
      +---------------------+
        The Zither of Discord

       Bladed Thesis' spirit was bound to the Zither of Discord, and
       with its reconstruction, he was able to absorb some of
       Scholar Six Heavens' life force.
      +----------------+


  This concludes the Zither of Discord quest and yields you 500 silver pieces
  and the Chaotic Strains technique. Use the Spirit Font if you wish, return
  the way you came and this time take the left path, up the staircase. Follow
  the winding path until you get to a bridge over the river. Here, you will
  be attacked by two more Lost Spirits. When they're defeated, the man at
  the other end of the bridge talks to you.


        >  "Yes, I was in Tien's Landing."
        >  "I don't have time to baby-sit some simpleton. Make your own way."
        >  "These ghosts are the Forest Shadow's minions?"
        >  "I've had about enough of you. Go where you wish."


  After this a cutscene starts. A fox spirit destroys the man that just spoke
  with you, and after that, comes for you. She manages to turn you to stone,
  however, through the magic of fate, you are revived. In awe and fear, the
  fox spirit flees your grasp, leaving only the words "What are you?" for
  you to ponder. Continue up the road and smash all headstones you encounter
  for silver and a gem. Eventually you should reach a clearing with some
  fresh ghosts. To the right of this area, there is another shrine should
  you be willing to use it. When they're dispersed, take the left path.

  Proceed until you arrive at the Forest Shadow's temple. Your entrance will
  initiate a cutscene wherein a wild axeman is taking care of a multitude of
  ghosts. Unfortunately, mad with rage, he attacks you, seeing you for a
  ghost! The Black Whirlwind is only dangerous if you linger in front of him
  for too long. Keep jumping and mobile and he'll be picking himself off of
  the floor. Once they're dead, Spear Catches Leaf nobily grants you his
  apologies.


        >  "Ha! Your strikes are clumsy as a drunken cow."
        >  "I don't care about him. Lord Yun sent me here to help you."
        >  "Tell me more about this ritual."
        >  "Do you have any idea where the crystal might be?"
        >  "What was strange about them?"
        >  "I met a man from the inn on my way up here."
        >  "I'll go back to the inn and ask them about the missing crystal."
        >  "Goodbye."


      +--------------------+
        Main Quest Updated
      +--------------------+
        The Sickened Forest
         -> Restore the Missing Crystal

       You made your way to the temple of the Forest Shadow and
       met with Spear Catches Leaf. Spear Catches Leaf has told
       you that a missing crystal is key to a ritual he hopes will
       allow you to meet with the Forest Shadow.
      +----------------+


  You can also buy some techniques from Spear Catches Leaf before you go, and
  I strongly suggest you do so. Hunter's Spirit and the Storm Dragon style can
  be especially useful, with Hunter's Spirit having a somewhat higher priority
  than the support style. From the path you first entered from, take the right
  path uphill. You should reach the area right before the inn.

  There will be A LOT of ghosts to deal with at the next clearing. Defeat them
  one way or the other, then head up the stairs towards the Pilgrim's Rest Inn,
  and once there, deal with the ghosts, look behind the tree to find a rock with
  80 silver and a gem, then watch the cutscene on the walkway, and enter the inn
  to speak with the Innkeeper.


        >  "I'm in search of a missing crystal from the temple."
        >  "That crystal is the key to reaching the Forest Shadow!"

        Fox Hunt
         -> Tracking the Forest Shadow

       The people at the inn seem to want nothing more than the
       death of the Forest Shadow, the fox spirit who serves as
       guardian of the Great Southern Forest. They have offered a
       handsome reward of silver for her death.
      +----------------+


  Search the upper level of the inn for a scrollstand and some containers which
  hold some silver for you. You can also talk to Henpecked Hou if you want. Once
  done, exit the inn and make your way back to the temple of the Forest Shadow,
  where you should talk to Spear Catches Leaf.

        The Sickened Forest
         -> Complete the Ritual of Seasons

       You have retrieved the missing temple crystal from the
       Pilgrim's Rest Inn and brought it back to Spear Catches Leaf.
       Now it falls to you to complete the Ritual of Seasons at that
       temple in the hopes of finding the elusive Forest Shadow and
       ultimately a cure for the forest.
      +----------------+


  And another follower is ours. If you want to be evil, always take Whirlwind
  with you, as he can approve of such things. Now it's time to complete the
  damn ritual. First walk up the staircase behind you and interact with the
  pedestal atop it. Your character will place the Temple Crystal. Now the
  levers can be set to work. Run off the stairs, away from the temple, and
  switch the first lever. Head to the right and downstairs some more to
  find the second singular lever. Now head back to where you came from, and
  stand still at the start of the pedestal's staircase.

  First, take the leftmost stairs and pull the BLUE switch, which stands for
  the season of winter. Now head over to the final set of levers and this time
  choose the RED switch, representing summer. Now head back to the pedestal
  and interact with it to put the focusing crystal in place. Finally, a portal
  to Heaven will be opened. It's time to head into the temple itself.

        The Sickened Forest
         -> Enter the Portal

       While Lord Yun's wind map will eventually take you to the
       Imperial City, it seems retrieving it will take you considerably
       farther. Completing the Ritual of Seasons has opened a portal
       in the inner sanctum of the Forest Shadow's temple.
      +----------------+


  Before you scurry through the portal, look left and right to find a pair of
  scrollstands which you can read for experience. Use the Focus Shrine if you
  must, then head up the stairs and into... Heaven.

  All seems peaceful as you arrive. Still, it would be a good idea to save here
  as it's just the calm before the storm.
