Jade Empire Hints

Subquest: Gem of Power

  • 1 of 9: You get this quest when you finish the "Restore the Fountains of Dirge" task on the "The Land of Spirits" main quest.
  • 2 of 9: From the fountain area, find the west path and go along it.
  • 3 of 9: You'll pass a ceramic urn with a Brilliant Gem of Balance and then a spirit font before you reach a gate.
  • 4 of 9: Go through the gate, then immediately turn left to find a hard-to-see doorway that leads to an area with a focus shrine and a ceramic urn with the Gem of the Infinite Spirit in it.
  • 5 of 9: Return to the gate and go up some stairs to start a fight with a lost spirit and a ghost lord.
  • 6 of 9: You can find two more lost spirits if you look around near the NE corner of the area.
  • 7 of 9: When you approach the magically protected gem repository, a Red Minister will attack you along with two lost spirits.
  • 8 of 9: After the battle is over, you'll gain the Red Minister style, which is well worth investing some style points in. Not only does it give you the same immunities that spirits have, but you can absorb your targets' health and chi every time you attack them.
  • 9 of 9: Approach the gem repository and click on it to get the Eye of the Dragon gem (Open Palm players) or the Eye of the Demon gem (Closed Fist players).
