Jade Empire Hints

Configuration of the Tiger

  • 1 of 8: You get this configuration by finishing the "Jinlin" subquest.
  • 2 of 8: Checking the scroll in your plot items list, you'll see that it refers to iron and nickel, reactive fuel, the dragon, controlled lightning, and cogs.
  • 3 of 8: You'll clearly need a bar of nickeled iron for fuel, and will be pressing the dragon button.
  • 4 of 8: But first, figure out which machines you need to activate.
  • 5 of 8: The cogs clearly refer to the whirling cogs, so go activate them.
  • 6 of 8: Controlled lightning refers to the conductor, so activate it, too.
  • 7 of 8: As it turns out, that's all you need. The reactive fuel reference isn't useful.
  • 8 of 8: So put the nickeled iron bar into the fuel hopper and hit the dragon button to get a new technique called The Quieted Mind (Focus +30).
