__________________________
/ The Search for Dawn Star \
============================---------------------------------------------
\ INITIATION: Given once you finish "A Master's Teachings" quest. \
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Dawn Star
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Get out of Master Li's chambers and through the school gates. Run past
Dawn Star's garden and enter Two Rivers. There, you see the burning
corpse of student Si Pat. According to eyewitnesses, it was Gao the
Lesser who did this. He also was carrying a big sack. Head to the left
up the stairs, and run past Gujin's shop. You will have to deal with
some mercenaries here, then Guard Yung will tell you that Gao took off
towards the marshes.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Pursue Gao to the Marshes
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Head through the town gate and you will immediately be transported to
the swamp. Run off the only path available and deal with the outlaws
that are pestering Hing. Deal with the farmer, then head further up
the path. Here, you will meet up with Sagacious Zu, who, upon uttering
Dawn Star's name, becomes your new Follower. He also mentions a camp
of Gao's men, which lies to the north.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A Camp to the North
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Loot the area, then take the only passage that leads north by making
use of the mini-map. You will deal with more bandits here, and you
can eventually complete the "Flower of the Fields" quest. You can now
choose to go left or right. Both have about the same amount of enemy
forces, so it's up to you. Clear out Gao's camp and your character
will interrogate one of the mercenaries. He tells you that Dawn Star
escaped into the nearby caves.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Rescue Dawn Star from Gao
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Take the path that lay in front of you when the cutscene ended, and
enter the Swamp Cave. In there, you will have to face Ogres and a
Toad Demon, but the route is pretty straightforward. Eventually, you
will have to face a more powerful Gao the Lesser. See the walkthrough
for strategies. Once Gao's dead, our friends gather outside the cave,
unless you chose to clear out the entire cave. Once outside, the three
fighters notice flyers overhead... with weapons aimed for Two Rivers.
__________________
/ The Burning Town \
====================----------------------------------------------------
\ INITIATION: Given once you finish "The Search for Dawn Star" \
\ quest. \
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Burning Town
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Only one way to go here. Take care of all the bandits on your way to
the school. Once there, you will have to face off against lots and lots
of bandits and Death Hand's Lieutenant. The walkthrough can offer you
strategies to deal with them. Once they're dead, a dying Jing Woo
comes trooping out of the building to tell you what happened. The
three adventurers decide to take Gao's flyer and head for Tien's
Landing, marking the end of Chapter One.
~*~*~ SIDE QUESTS ~*~*~
_________
/ Kia Min \
===========------------------------------------------------------------
\ INITIATION: Talk to Smiling Mountain about sparring after the \
\ bandit attack, and he will mention that you can \
\ only try to break Kia Min's record for most foes beat \
\ at once if you find a way to heal her. \
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ask Kia Min About Healing
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Look around the practice ring to find Kia Min. Talk to her and she will
mention a special herb with healing properties. It seems that Old Ming
may know more about it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ask Old Ming About Herbs
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Head to the Two Rivers beach and Old Ming can be found near the big
statue. After a lot of chattering, he will mention Red Silk Grass and
Bearded Tongue Grass as healing herbs. Unfortunately, Bearded Tongue
Grass is only a painkiller.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Acquire a Red Silk Grass Poultice
OR Acquire a Bearded Tongue Grass Poultice
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Run back to Two Rivers' town square and find Merchant Fen Do. If you
want Open Palm points, buy a Red Silk Grass Poultice, if you want to
be Closed Fist, go for a Bearded Tongue Grass Poultice. The first
costs fifty silver pieces, the latter twenty-five silver pieces.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Deliver the Poultice to Kia Min
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Return to the School and talk to Kia Min. You can have her pay you back
for the poultice. Having her pay back more than she's due to will give
you more Closed Fist points. No matter which medicine you gave her, the
contest Smiling Mountain set up can finally take place now. If you gave
Kia Min Bearded Tongue Grass and you won the contest, she will be
severely injured and you will gain even more Closed Fist points.
_________________________
/ The Lions of Two Rivers \
===========================--------------------------------------------
\ INITIATION: There is a big statue in Master Li's quarters with \
\ a peculiar light around its claws. \
----------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In Master Li's quarters, there is a big statue of a lion. Next to
it is a black chest. Open it for a Red, Yellow, and Blue Figurine,
then walk towards the statue. If you choose to destroy the altar
- which you SHOULD NOT - you get some gold, but that's not our
intention here. Place the figurines in the order that the lion
statue tells you two (blue light means placing the Blue Figurine).
You get 1 Silver piece once you have placed the three sculptures.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Exit Master Li's chamber and head to the right until you find a
small opening, which leads into the grassland behind Li's room. In
a moment, you should see a small shrine dedicated to the first
master of Two Rivers. Place a silver coin on the shrine to retrieve
the Lion Head Token.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Head back to the big lion statue. Place the Lion Head on it and the
color in its paws should turn to green. Now place the BLUE and the
YELLOW figurine. Then remove the BLUE figurine, and place the RED
figurine for orange. Finally, remove the YELLOW figurine and once
again place the BLUE figurine for the purple orb. This gains you
75 XP and the "Gaze of the Lion" technique.
__________________________
/ The Flower of the Fields \
============================-------------------------------------------
\ INITIATION: In the marshes, you will encounter a merchant named \
\ Hing who has apparently lost someone dear to him. He \
\ asks you to find his "Flower of the Fields". \
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunt Down Fen's Kidnappers
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Proceed your main quest until you find Sagacious Zu, who joins up with
you. Head through the passage to the north and you will find bandits
holding captive a woman. Kill the bandits to free the woman, named
Sing Wa. The "Flower of the Fields" seems to refer to a water buffalo
named Fen. Hing comes storming to see his dear animal. If you act
politely, you will gain Open Palm points, if you rudely demand money,
you will gain Closed Fist points. Both yield you money.

Styles
-----------
MARTIAL STYLES
================
_______________
/ Leaping Tiger \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Assign it as your starting martial art
when initiating a new game. Alternatively,
you can buy it from Zin Bu later on.
With the vigor and speed of the animal for which this martial
style was named, Leaping Tiger dazzles onlookers even as it
carves up opponents. Practitioners of this Martial style focus
so completely on the strength and quickness of the tiger that
razor-sharp claws seem to sprout from their fists. The style's
quick, leaping techniques and punishing strikes create a
flurry of death that can keep even armed opponents at bay.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
__________________
/ Legendary Strike \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Assign it as your starting martial art
when initiating a new game. Alternatively,
you can buy it from Zin Bu later on.
Many in the Jade Empire have heard of Legendary Strike, but
few have actually seen it in action. Fewer still have
mastered this martial style, but those who have are to be
feared, their blows rain down too fast to block, and their
kicks can quickly put an opponent out for good.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_______________
/ Thousand Cuts \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Assign it as your starting martial art
when initiating a new game. Alternatively,
you can buy it from Zin Bu later on.
Thousand Cuts is aptly named, though the style does not
involve blades. A master of this style relies on numerous light
strikes in quick succession instead of singular punishing
blows of murderous kicks. Most opponents reel under such a
relentless assault, unable to counter fast enough to find an
opening for their own attacks.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_____________
/ White Demon \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Assign it as your starting martial art
when initiating a new game. Alternatively,
you can buy it from Zin Bu later on.
Many martial artists criticize the White Demon style for being
slow and ponderous, but in the hands of a true master it can be
one of the deadliest martial styles of all. While it lacks the
crowd-pleasing panache of faster styles, White Demon's sheer
power and intimidating techniques plow through opponents like
an ogre in a teahouse.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
SUPPORT STYLES
================
_______________
/ Heavenly Wave \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: You get it automatically at the start of any
new game.
This style's Power Attack can initiate a Harmonic Combo that
produces a Health power-up.
Fighters skilled in Heavenly Wave learn techniques that can
slow their opponents to a crawl. While this Support style does
no damage on its own, a master can manipulate the chi in the
area around opponents, rendering them sluggish and easily
defeated. Even the most lightning-fast of foes can be slowed to
a turtle's pace with the skillful application of Heavenly Wave.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_____________
/ Hidden Fist \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Help master Smiling Hawk disperse Radiant in
the Black Leopard School quest in Chapter 3.
This style's Area Attack can initiate a Harmonic Combo that
produces a Chi power-up.
Warriors willing to tread a darker path learn that a confused
mind is a weakened one. This infamous Support style is a
collection of techniques that render the practitioner's foe
disoriented and unable to fight back. A master of Hidden Fist is
not above using dirty tricks and forbidden strikes to serve the
goal of total domination.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_________________
/ Paralyzing Palm \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Help Radiant defeat master Smiling Hawk in
the Black Leopard School quest in Chapter 3.
This style's Power Attack can initiate a Harmonic Combo.
This esoteric style has a sinister reputation but many more
peaceful masters prefer it for its ability to render an opponent
helpless without killing him more unscrupulously. Masters take
advantage of this style's paralyzing blows to weaken foes for
the killing blow. It is designed around its magical palm strikes,
which can stop a man in his tracks with a single hit.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
______________
/ Storm Dragon \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Purchase from merchant Cheung in Tien's
Landing during Chapter 2. Alternatively, you
can buy it from Spear Catches Leaf in the
Great Southern Forest, also in Chapter 2.
This style's Area Attack can initiate a Harmonic Combo that
produces a Focus power-up.
The forms and strikes of Storm Dragon enable the master to call
upon the power of lightning to damage an opponent. While this
style's attacks don't cause any direct damage, its motions
summon forth electricity to course through its victim, doing
small but constant damage over time. Storm Dragon will rarely
win a fight on its own, but combined with other styles it can
easily change the tide of a difficult battle.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
WEAPON STYLES
===============
All weapon styles drain Focus.
_______________
/ Crimson Tears \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PARENT: Double Blades
LOCATION: Warn Crimson Khana of the poisoning Lyn and Cho
are planning when going up for the Bronze
Championship in the Arena during Chapter 3.
This inscription on these unique sabers is written in a long-
forgotten dialect. The writing, deciphered by scholar Shao Shen
many years ago, reads: "The innocent are cut down with the guilty;
the brave die beside the craven; the blades do not weep for the
dead." Rumor has it that the Crimson Tears have ended more lives
than the great drought itself. Despite centuries of use, these
sabers are as sharp and deadly as the day they were forged.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
______________
/ Dragon Sword \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PARENT: Longsword
LOCATION: Buy from the Blacksmith in the Imperial City
for 10,000 silver pieces in Chapter 3.
Before his departure to the unknown, the Celestial Dragon
crafted the first true warrior, Lu Fang. Though Lu Fang's fists
were stronger and quicker than any blade, the Celestial
Dragon forged the Dragon Sword to give the warrior a weapon
worthy of his skill. Hard as dragon scales and sharp as a
dragons tooth, it is still one of the most formidable swords in
the Empire.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
__________
/ Flawless \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PARENT: Staff
LOCATION: Buy from the Blacksmith in the Imperial City
for 7,500 silver pieces in Chapter 3.
The scrolls of Peng Qi contain the story of a monk who shaped a
flawless staff using only swatches of silk. At first, the silk
did nothing but polish the rough wood, but after thirty-four
years the staff was perfectly smooth, straight and flawless.
After finishing the staff, the monk told his abbot he was going
for a walk to test his new staff, and he never returned. An
exiled warrior eventually discovered the staff and attached a
sharp blade that is every bit as perfect as the staff itself. It
has since been adorned with precious metals, but it remains as
flawless as ever.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
____________________
/ Fortune's Favorite \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PARENT: Longsword
LOCATION: Choose it when Gujin the Weapon Master
presents it to you together with Golden
Star in Chapter 1.
This long sword bears the mark of Shining Fortune, the
blacksmith of the gods. Shining Fortune's weapons were so finely
crafted that the gods forbode him from creating weapons for
anyone but them. When his son was enlisted to subdue the
barbarians from the west, Shining Fortune forsook his oaths and
forged this marvelous long sword for his son. The gods cursed
Shining Fortune for breaking his oath, and he was never again
able to produce weapons of any worth. Still, the blade he made
for his son never experienced defeat. It is truly Fortune's
Favorite.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_____________
/ Golden Star \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PARENT: Staff, Regular Edition Unique
LOCATION: Choose it when Gujin the Weapon Master
presents it to you together with Fortune's
Favorite in Chapter 1.
Forged under an auspicious comet, this staff was originally a
gift for the Water Spirit of the Silkworm River. A young prince
named Seng Lo sought to win the heart of the Water Spirit and
had the staff created as a gift. He convinced the Great Eastern
Serpent to fly him to the heavens, where he dipped the staff in
the golden comet. The light of the comet dimmed, but the staff
became more powerful than any before it. To this day, no one
knows if Seng Lo won the Water Spirit's heart, but there is no
questioning the magnificence of the staff he created.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
___________
/ Mirabelle \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PARENT: Gun
LOCATION: Defeat the Outlander in battle and choose his
weapon as your prize in Chapter 3.
A strange weapon from a strange culture, Mirabelle is made of
wood and steel and emits thunder and fire. Loud and ungainly
(like its previous owner), Mirabelle is nonetheless capable of
doing real harm at medium range. Etched with undecipherable
symbols from the Outlander's language, this weapon is a
unique (and dangerous) trophy. The power of some enemies is
such that fate itself turns away the cold, foreign steel
Mirabelle projects.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
__________________
/ Tang's Vengeance \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PARENT: Double Axes.
LOCATION: Defeat Kai Lan with the Black Whirlwind in the
Imperial Arena during Chapter 3.
When Emperor Fong died without at heir, the Empire became
fractured and divided. After years of war, Tang the Merciless
rose to be the forerunner in the battle for the contested throne
of the Jade Empire. Tang's own father betrayed him into the
hands of his enemies, fearing that his son's violent ways
would ruin the Empire. Rumor has it that before he fled into
exile, Tang the Merciless used these very axes to cut off his
father's head. These devastating axes remain extremely sharp,
even after hundreds of years of use.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
________________
/ Tien's Justice \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PARENT: Staff, Limited Edition Unique
LOCATION: Choose it when Gujin the Weapon Master
presents it to you together with Fortune's
Favorite in Chapter 1.
This ceremonial staff was once displayed in Sagacious Tien's
great hall. Many years after his reign, Emperor Yan Shun took up
the staff to defend the palace from rebels. Once the infidels
had been stopped, Yan Shun gathered his army and left the palace,
vowing to rid the Empire of all dissidents before he returned.
Emperor Yan Shun returned after seventeen years. In that time,
Yan Shun and Tien's ceremonial staff had become a symbol for
justice in the Jade Empire.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
MAGIC STYLES
==============
All magic styles drain Chi.
____________
/ Dire Flame \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Choose it when the Water Dragon offers you
the choice between Fire and Ice in Chapter 1.
This style's Area Attack can initiate a Harmonic Combo that
produces a Health power-up.
Practitioners of Dire Flame can throw bolts of fire, project
explosive fireballs, and even summon dragon-like burning
constructs that immolate enemies with tongues of flame.
Sometimes the sight of a fighter weilding the power of flame is
enough to reduce the bravest of opponents to begging for
mercy.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
___________
/ Ice Shard \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Choose it when the Water Dragon offers you
the choice between Fire and Ice in Chapter 1.
Alternatively, buy it from Guang in the Lotus
Assassin Fortress in Chapter 3.
This style's Attack can initiate a Harmonic Combo that
produces a power-up.
While many warriors swear by the power of Dire Flame, many
others seek to master the powerful Ice Shard. By using their Chi
to summon forth the soul-chilling cold of the highest mountains,
masters of Ice Shard can send daggers of ice flying towards
enemies, call a freezing ice storm to slow their shivering foes,
or even encase opponents in columns of ice before shattering
them with a single blow. Few fighters have the courage to stand
up to the cold stare of an Ice Shard master.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
________________
/ Stone Immortal \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Impress mistress Vo with your knowledge of
the Way of the Open Palm in Chapter 2 for
her to teach you this style.
RESONANCE: Stronger when wielded by a follower of the Way
of the Open Palm.
This style's Power Attack can initiate a Harmonic Combo.
Fighters who study this style gain mastery over the ponderous
element of earth, putting the mighty power of stone and crystal
at their command. Masters of Stone Immortal have the ability to
attack enemies with crystalline missiles, encase foes in stone,
or even open the ground beneath an opponent's feet. To command
the power of earth requires a mind centered on balance,
stability, and order, and so the Stone Immortal is a favored
style among followers of the Way of the Open Palm. It is far
less effective if wielded by those who follow the Way of the
Closed Fist.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_________
/ Tempest \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Impress Jian the Iron Fist with your knowledge
of the Way of the Closed Fist in Chapter 2 for
him to teach you this style.
RESONANCE: Stronger when wielded by a follower of the Way
of the Closed Fist.
This style's Power Attack can initiate a Harmonic Combo that
produces a Focus power-up.
Warriors proficient in Tempest have the winds at their beck
and call. Fighters who have faced this style and survived tell
tales of blasts of gale-force winds and of powerful whirlwinds
that effortlessly sent them flying away from the Tempest
master himself. Many practitioner of Tempest face entire
gangs without even taking a wound, as the mighty winds at
their command keep their foes at bay. Warriors with the chill
of the wind in their hearts fing Tempest far easier to
command, so it is a favored style of the Way of the Closed Fist,
and less effective in the hands of those who follow the Way of
the Open Palm.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
TRANSFORMATION STYLES
=======================
All transformation styles constantly drain Chi.
____________
/ Toad Demon \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Kill the Toad Demon in the Swamp Cave to get
this transformation style in Chapter 1.
Toad Demons might not be the most highly respected demons,
but this style proves that they are not to be trifled with. A
warrior using this style takes the hulking form of the deadly
toad demon, complete with the demon's clawed flippers and
its punishing tongue attack. This form also makes the martial
artist immune to all Support styels, just like the toad demon
itself.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_____________
/ Horse Demon \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Kill all Horse Demons in Heaven to get
this transformation style in Chapter 2.
Powerful warriors can gain the power to take the form of the
fearsome horse demon. This transformation grants the horse
demon's legendary ferocity, as well as its mastery of the
element of fire and its immunity to the effects of Support
styles. Faced with the immolating brutality of the horse
demon, weak-willed foes cower in fear, helpless against the
raging flames.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
____________
/ Jade Golem \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Kill the Jade Golem in the Lotus Assassin Fortress to get
this transformation style in Chapter 3.
This style imbues the martial artist with the power and form of
the towering Jade Golem. Powerful and terrifying, the Jade
Golem mauls foes with brutal strikes and inhuman cunning,
and the form's complete immunity to magic and martial styles
makes it the perfect tactic when facing deadly sorcerers and
certain demons.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
______________
/ Red Minister \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Kill the Red Minister in spiritual Dirge to get
this transformation style in Chapter 5.
When an eminent sage dies, its spirit sometimes returns as a
ghostly red minister. Taking the form of a red minister grants a
warrior the nefarious ability to feed on an opponent's life force
and the incorporal spirit's immunities to weapons and
Support styles. Few people in this troubled age have the
resilience to withstand the spine-chilling touch of a red
minister.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
UNIQUE STYLES
===============
______________
/ Spirit Thief \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Help Hui the Brave in her fight against the sailors
for her to teach you this in Chapter 2.
EFFECTS: Drains Chi from enemies. Does direct damage in Chi
Strike mode, but Spirit Thief's Power Attack does
not drain any Chi when doing this.
Those most adept at manipulating chi find that even the
spiritual energy of others is within their grasp. The strikes and
forms of the Spirit Thief style enable practitioners to tap an
enemy's vital energies and refill their own reserves. While the
techniques of this style do no physical damage to its victims
without being charged with the user's chi, those who face a
Spirit Thief master find themselves without the resolve to put
their hearts into the fight.

______________
/ Alloyed Body \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Succesfully beat five opponents in
Smiling Mountain's grand test in
Chapter 1
EFFECTS: Health +5
Focus +5
The Alloyed Body is Smiling Mountain's ultimate
series of exercises, designed to offset some of the
weaknesses the corpulent trainer saw in the exercises
he developed earlier in his career. Practicing these
holistic exercises strengthens both health and focus.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
___________________
/ Balance of Nature \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Buy from Darting Lynx in Chapter 2
EFFECTS: Focus +15
Chi +3
To be one with your art, it must be your entire world,
your only focus. But to lose yourself in that world is
also a serious falling. If you balance the needs of
your art with the needs of your inner self, you can
achieve true transcendence and clarity of purpose.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_______________
/ Belly of Iron \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Buy from Smiling Mountain in Chapter 1
EFFECTS: Health +3
Chi -1
A series of excercises developed by Smiling Mountain.
Those who learn and use his Belly of Iron techniques
learn to take blows better, giving them more stamina
in combat. The strain of using these exercises in
battle can slightly reduce a warrior's ability to
channel their Chi.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
_________________
/ Chaotic Strains \
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
LOCATION: Agree to aid Bladed Thesis in the
"Zither of Discord" sidequest.
EFFECTS: Health +5
Chi +5
Played by skilled hands, the Zither of Discord can
attune the chaos in a person's soul, making one
stronger and better able to walk the Way of the
Closed Fist. Every so often you catch a hint of
music carried on the breeze to remind you of this
ancient artifact.
