Jade Empire Hints

The Height of Power

  • 1 of 10: This is the main quest that you start the chapter with.
  • 2 of 10: After checking Zin Bu's inventory for new stuff, approach the large gate to the north to get it to rise.
  • 3 of 10: Check the room beyond for breakable jars and focus shrines before going through the next north gate and fighting some soldiers.
  • 4 of 10: After finishing them off, go up the stairs to find a bunch more guys to fight, including some Lotus Assassins.
  • 5 of 10: Check around at the top of the stairs for bookshelves to read (one of which will complete a hidden book set if you've already read its other volumes) and ceramic urns to loot.
  • 6 of 10: The room north of that is a PNR (point of no return), so be sure that you've done everything you want to in the Imperial City and Tien's Landing first.
  • 7 of 10: After you go up on the big, round elevator, go through the exit that leads to the throne room region.
  • 8 of 10: Run along the large passageway to find two soldiers to fight, followed by an area with a spirit font, a focus shrine, and some other items.
  • 9 of 10: Past that, you'll come to three more soldiers to fight before you reach the entrance to the throne room.
  • 10 of 10: After you have a talk with the emperor, a whole bunch of soldiers and assassins will attack you a few at a time.
