Jade Empire Hints

Confront the Minion of Suffering

  • 1 of 9: You get this task after you finish "Restore the Fountains of Dirge."
  • 2 of 9: Before you head off after the demon, you should do the "Gem of Power" subquest to gain a powerful new Dragon Amulet gem.
  • 3 of 9: When you're ready to go after the demon, start down the SE path in the fountain area.
  • 4 of 9: After fighting a horse demon and rat demon near the start of the path, keep going to find another rat demon and then two rat demons and a rhino demon.
  • 5 of 9: Check the trapped urn in their area to see if you can get a random gem, then go through the nearby cave exit.
  • 6 of 9: Follow the path along, fighting powerful animal demons as you encounter them, until you approach the cave chamber with the fountain seal in it.
  • 7 of 9: Go back and use the nearest spirit font and focus shrine to fully recharge yourself, then move into the seal chamber to get the Minion of Suffering demon to attack you.
  • 8 of 9: As with all single powerful opponents, either use your weapon and focus mode or your favorite transformation style to quickly finish it.
  • 9 of 9: After the minion goes down, you'll get the seal for the second fountain after briefly speaking to some weird "darkness" creature.
