Jade Empire Hints

Find Spear Catches Leaf

  • 1 of 13: You'll get this task from Lord Yun after you finish the "Seek Out Lord Yun" task.
  • 2 of 13: Go up the stairs that lead north to reach a clearing where a ghost and two lost spirits will appear and attack.
  • 3 of 13: Go east from the clearing to find some bones to loot and a spirit font to recharge at, then return to the clearing and go up the stairs to the west.
  • 4 of 13: Past the stairs, follow the path along until you reach a bridge.
  • 5 of 13: Find and loot the bones that are a bit to the east of it, then cross it.
  • 6 of 13: As you cross the bridge, you'll need to protect a guy who's fleeing from two lost spirits.
  • 7 of 13: After he talks to you, the Forest Shadow will attack, but will be unable to destroy you for some reason.
  • 8 of 13: After it runs off, finish crossing the bridge and continue down the path, smashing headstones for silver and random gems as you come across them.
  • 9 of 13: Soon after you find the third headstone, you'll come to a clearing with a very tough battle. You'd better be at full strength for it.
  • 10 of 13: After it's over, start down the NW path, since its sign says it leads to the Temple of the Forest Shadow.
  • 11 of 13: Kick down a headstone near the beginning of the path to get some treasure, then run along until you come to the steps leading up to the temple.
  • 12 of 13: When you approach, you'll see a big guy named Black Whirlwind easily trash a bunch of ghosts. Unfortunately, he attacks you next.
  • 13 of 13: Use your weapon and focus mode to quickly defeat him, then talk to him and Spear Catches Leaf.
