Jade Empire Hints

Where can I find the zither's bridge?

  • 1 of 7: He hints that you'll find it in the woods.
  • 2 of 7: That's where the "The Sickened Forest" main quest takes place, so see it for hints on getting started.
  • 3 of 7: After you fight the first spirits you come to while on the "Find Spear Catches Leaf" task, check the east-side area that has the spirit font.
  • 4 of 7: Near the font will be a Red Minister spirit named Bladed Thesis.
  • 5 of 7: Talk to him and ask him who he is.
  • 6 of 7: If you then get the conversation option that starts out "I see trees tearing and water churning," choose it in order to skip by his test.
  • 7 of 7: Otherwise, you'll have to either fight Bladed Thesis (not the best option even if you can beat him) or pass his test.
