Jade Empire Hints

The Burning Town

  • 1 of 14: This main quest begins when you finish "The Search for Dawn Star."
  • 2 of 14: After looting the bones that are near the north border of the beach, head west down the path that leads to the town square.
  • 3 of 14: Beat up the two mercenaries there, then enter the school area.
  • 4 of 14: Use the spirit font and focus shrine at Dawn Star's garden if you need to (and loot the remains near the focus shrine), then go west a bit more to find two more mercenaries to kill.
  • 5 of 14: Past them, take the central path that leads to the sparring ring and Master Li's quarters.
  • 6 of 14: NOTE: If you healed Kia Min earlier, you'll come across her killing off some mercenaries, and you'll get some more Open Palm points. If you didn't heal her, you'll see her killed by the mercenaries.
  • 7 of 14: Don't approach the sparring ring until you're ready to do the final fight and escape to Chapter 2.
  • 8 of 14: Before you do that, you might want to head over to the sparring arena area to kill off some mercenaries and loot some student remains for silver. You can go back to Dawn Star's garden and recharge afterward.
  • 9 of 14: When you approach the sparring ring, you'll get caught up in a combat that involves a whole bunch of mercenaries at once.
  • 10 of 14: Even with your companion's help, it'll be tough to finish them all off. And when you do, you'll have to fight two more along with a powerful lieutenant.
  • 11 of 14: I hope you have a lot of focus energy, since the best strategy here is to use your weapon against the first bunch, and then use focus mode to quickly beat the lieutenant down.
  • 12 of 14: After that's over, you'll talk to Dawn Star and Sagacious Zu for a bit.
  • 13 of 14: Then you'll get a chance to either attack the enemy flyers on the way out (if you want to play a harder version of the flyer mini-game) or evade them.
  • 14 of 14: Either way, you'll end up crashlanding and starting Chapter 2.
