Jade Empire Hints
Enter the Fortress
1 of 11: When you're ready to get to the fortress, enter the Necropolis from in the Golden Way region.
2 of 11: Move along the path until you come to a spot where two lost spirits appear and attack.
3 of 11: After they're defeated, you'll talk to Chen and get the "The First Gravedigger" subquest.
4 of 11: Head down the north path to reach a large circular "spirit arena" where you may or may not have to fight a single lost spirit.
5 of 11: Use the north exit and go east along the path until you come to another "spirit arena" where three lost spirits may appear and attack.
6 of 11: Go out its SE exit and then find the path that leads NE.
7 of 11: Follow it along until you reach a large pagoda and see Sagacious Zu enter it.
8 of 11: NOTE: At this point, anyone you've been having a lot of "romantic" dialogue with will show up and talk to you. Choose your responses carefully, since they can determine who you "end up" with at the end of the game.
9 of 11: Enter the pagoda to find that Zu is gone, indicating that there's some sort of secret exit from the pagoda.
10 of 11: The only interactive item in there is the "Blessing Board" scroll, so try it.
11 of 11: The special Lotus Assassin seal you got will cause the entrance to the fortress to be revealed.
