Easy Way to Deal With Ogres Jade Empire

Function 6: Cherry Skies

Episode 05: Cerise Skies

Final time, we learned from a mysterious spirit that Wu is the last Spirit Monk. Before nosotros could learn more than from Master Li, we found out Gao has kidnapped Dawn Star. There is only one fashion Gao could take gone, and that is to the swamp exterior Two Rivers.

Hither nosotros are. It's... well, information technology'south a swamp. Information technology's very drab and boring, just like whatever self-respecting swamp level in a video game. That said, nosotros're here to find Dawn Star, then nosotros should get a movement on before Gao gets too big of a head beginning.

Naturally, the swamp is infested with all manner of scum, and nosotros barely go to take ten steps before we overhear bandits threatening some poor bastard.

Apparently, the local ruffians aren't likewise pleased about Gao's mercenaries running around the swamp, or about the states beingness hither for that thing.

At present that we've murdered/horribly injured our first men outside Two Rivers, we should probably find out why the bandits were threatening Merchant Hing here.

Merchant Hing is voiced by Jeff Folio, who you lot may know ameliorate equally Conrad Verner from the Mass Consequence games. Nothing special virtually that, really, considering BioWare uses the aforementioned voice actors all the time, just thought it was funny to hear Conrad'south VA voicing another hapless moron.

We were traveling to Two Rivers. I bring goods between the farms that line the valley. I knew we were getting besides close to the marshes. Why was I so foolish? Of grade these thieves would strike at my beautiful Fen. I can't leave without her. They'll work her to death, or eat her, or worse! Can you do anything? Delight?

If I encounter her, I'll do what I can.

I cheers, and my Fen volition cheers when she is returned to me.

I decided to requite Wu a new portrait, considering that return didn't look anything like her in-game model. Of course that ane also stood out more, simply this should be okay as well. If information technology's not, please let me know.

We'll keep an eye out. Information technology would've helped if Hing could have told u.s. what Fen looks like, but if nosotros beat out upwardly every bandit in this swamp I'm certain nosotros'll run across someone who knows something about her.

Nosotros besides leveled up during the fight. I'thou not showing off the leveling from here on, because there usually isn't that much to say about it. If there is something interesting, I'll betoken it out.

As nosotros brand our way forwards, we're greeted by a cutscene.

Someone'south being attacked by Gao'due south men, merely doesn't seem to exist intimidated past them in the slightest.

Existence surrounded by Gao'south soldiers doesn't bother him much either...

...and every bit such he proceeds to murder the shit out of them with his staff.

He also clearly doesn't mind finishing off a defeated opponent.

When he'southward done with all the murdering, he notices Wu looking on and approaches her.

This is a very reasonable response on her role. We have no thought who this person is, aside from the fact he'south a skilled combatant and fights without mercy. For all nosotros know, he's merely some other brigand.

A misunderstanding? I still say we had a very appropriate reaction to a staff-wielding maniac approaching us after effortlessly killing half a dozen trained soldiers, just sure, let's call information technology that.

I don't picture a thoughtful and perceptive emperor fighting in a swamp.

I see your signal. There are differences. Tien was a knowledgeable man, whereas I feel that a person can sometimes think as well much. I don't believe I demand to explicate myself beyond that.

Sagacious Zu is plainly a man of few words. Still, though... why alive in this swamp? I doubt he's staying hither for the nifty weather and picturesque scenery.

I meant zip. Information technology's just that I was trained fairly well, so I recognize when someone else is skilled.

If yous are non an enemy, why are you out hither?

Seriously, there's a perfectly fine town correct next to the swamp and you even visit information technology regularly. I'm sure he has his reasons.

Besides, I have already shown that I accept no love for the more mutual kinds of filth roaming out here.

Why were you fighting Gao's mercenaries?

If you know that name you know the blazon of men the family employs. I wonder... does their increased presence in the marsh have anything to exercise with why you are hither?

Gao the Lesser? I know the family. This is a brazen act, fifty-fifty for them, just now I understand why their men are immigration a path through the marsh. No wonder you came out here every bit you did; you're looking to rescue someone. You probably gave no thought to your own safety. That is very selfless of you. I tend to think more than... efficiently. I did hear something most a camp. They seem to be killing bandits and so they won't exist disturbed. There wasn't much more. I but wanted some peace and quiet.

Y'all must know the swamp well. Can y'all lead me in the right management?

I mean, you have a unique grapheme model and I'm pretty sure we saw your silhouette in the party screen (and you were on this expanse's loading screen as well), so we all know where this is going. Let's get to it, shall nosotros?

What? You'll just sit down here in the swamp for the residual of your life then? Fine.

I'yard sad.

I'1000 sure. Thanks for nada, Zu. Accept fun doing whatever it is y'all practice around here, I'1000 off to boot Gao in his impaired smug confront again.

Well, that's more similar it.

I tin can reject some fool determined to get lost in the swamp, but I dubiety your friend earned her fate. Gao the Bottom shouldn't get such a prize without a off-white fight. Now come, we accept some catching up to practice. We'll discover them. Similar I said, they can't get out in that management. Not on pes.

Also, he totally pulled that excuse from his ass, but we're non gonna inquire about it further. Not that nosotros can do and so at this point, anyhow. I'chiliad certain it's zippo to worry about.

Permit's go. The master camp is to the north, only at that place are soldiers all around this area. If you want to find trouble, let's exercise information technology apace.

Zu has joined the party, and we should not believe what the game is proverb about him being a valuable asset in battle because he's only as useless at fighting as Dawn Star. His support ability isn't that dandy either and he's generally a bit deadening, so I rarely gyre with him unless the plot requires information technology or he has unique dialogue with an NPC. He is also a Closed Fist character, so he disapproves of all kinds of altruistic deeds. Not to the extent of MORRIGAN DISAPPROVES (-10), only he'south withal a bit of a elevate at times.

Now before we become anywhere, in that location is a scrollstand we need to look at. Priorities, you know. This whorl has some data on ogres, which we haven't seen yet simply that'll change before long enough.

As Zu helpfully informs us, we accept ii paths to the northward. It doesn't matter which path we take because they both converge to the same location, and in fact the well-nigh efficient way to do this is to explore both paths. There's plenty of EXP to be gained, and the paths are also very short so it doesn't take much time to cheque out both of them. This whole area is actually very short and linear, if you skip all dialogue you tin can easily go through the swamp in a couple of minutes. In whatsoever event, let's start with the path on the right.

I approximate we may have found the Blossom of the Fields.

Permit's only do a bit of pest command outset.

I thought I was saved when they killed the bandits that raided my husband's wagon, but these soldiers were no amend. Y'all take my gratitude.

Oh. Oh my. At to the lowest degree we didn't call her Fen, that would have been awkward. Well, more than so.

Zu, at least, seems quite amused by the situation. I didn't think he had a sense of humor.

You aren't the Flower of the Fields that Hing mentioned?

I guess that'southward a safe assumption to make at this bespeak.

Fen! Come!

Moo.

I knew this great fighter would save you. I couldn't get out without you. The cart needs your forcefulness to pull it.

Groovy Dragon give me strength Have either of you seen a human named Gao?

Gao? One of the soldiers said someone with that proper noun is at a military camp to the far n. Of course, he may have been speaking of someone more important. Perhaps the army camp goat!

I prayed for your safe return, dear, but the cart volition not motion itself.

You will exist lucky if I don't brand you pull it while the ox rides. She is clearly important plenty.

This has all been fascinating, but is in that location a advantage or something?

Aye, dear.

Do I have to slaughter that affair for yous to prove me some attention?

No, dear.

Are you lying again?

No, dear.

Are you listening to me?

No, dear.

Wonderful. Let's forget that whole episode ever happened and check the rest of this path.

This is the camp Sing Wa was talking nearly, but as mentioned we're not going there just however because there is a whole other path to explore.

At least someone bothered to build something resembling a bridge on this path so we don't need to wade knee-deep in swamp water. Non that information technology makes any departure to u.s. at this betoken, since we've already spent some time doing exactly that.

The left path has a couple of Gao's men, who mistake us for bandits.

Fortunately, some actual bandits bear witness up to correct them.

We proceed to kill them all. At that place's not much of a deviation between Gao's men and regular bandits, really.

And this is the end of the left path. We're right dorsum at the mercenary camp, and standing adjacent to us is quite an interesting contraption. Nosotros'll get a better look at it shortly.

Just got to take care of business organisation first. We tin can actually see the contraption a scrap better from hither, looks like a big musquito of some kind.

Zu went and got himself knocked out. Good job. The cutscene made him look competent in a fight, but I guess not. What we're doing here is the expanse assault of the Dire Flame style, in which you conjure up this burn down-spewing dragon to immolate anyone foolish enough to be in its area of outcome. The problem with this attack is that information technology'south massively slow and you tin can however get damaged while doing it, which is one reason why I'm a bit low on health here (another reason is that I am bad at video games).

Huh, i of them managed to stay live. Good for him, he'll tell us what nosotros need to know.

Fine. Only tell me what I desire to know.

Yes, I tin do that. Whatsoever y'all want.

Hm, he's more than branch than I expected.

Well, we read that ringlet before so we know about ogres, simply demons? So far we've been fighting by and large bandits and the occasional spirit and have barely heard well-nigh demons even beingness a thing. I think if you lot speak to Si Pat and enquire him to list all the fighting styles, he'll mention transformation styles that will permit you to change into a fauna or even a demon, merely that's about it.

Why did he kidnap Dawn Star?

I don't know. He just said information technology was very important that he get her tonight. He brought a few groups of usa over for it. We didn't take her; nosotros made Gao practice that himself. I know we shouldn't have let him talk us into any of this, but he doubled our pay. It was just one adult female. Compared to some things... well, all I'll say is that this wasn't the worst thing done by a Gao lately.

What practise you hateful?

Await, that's all I tin say. Just permit me become. I won't be any more trouble for yous. If I go back to Gao'due south male parent, I'll exist killed as a failure.

Yep, Airtight Fist all right. He's normally fairly pleasant so you kinda forget most that, but then he chimes in with "FAILURE SHOULD Exist PUNISHABLE By Decease" or something to that effect.

Get out of here. I'll follow Gao into the cave.

We don't kill surrendering opponents. What the shit, Zu? Perhaps he thinks this guy will become back on his word and tell Gao the Greater or whatever, simply I highly dubiousness sparing this random mook's life will turn out to be our undoing.

The merc runs off. Earlier we head into the cave, allow's simply explore this camp and steal everything not nailed downwardly.

BLARGHFGHL

Well, that's a dick move. Many loot chests in Jade Empire are trapped in diverse ways, and you get hurt if you don't manage to focus evade the trap. Before this, the game has not told yous that is fifty-fifty a mechanic.

I may have accidentally pressed A when the trap activated. I similar to interpret this line as Zu making fun of us.

Yeah, thanks. We tin besides go some gems that increase our chance to evade traps, as well equally ones that let united states of america see which containers are rigged. Correct now, there is no way to tell.

Let's just get into this cave before nosotros embarrass ourselves any further.

This cave could maybe exist considered a mini-dungeon, although there is barely annihilation to it and then I don't know if it really counts equally one. We can just about see in that location are a couple of paths we can accept, so let's encounter if we can discover Gao and Dawn Star.

Well, first we find two ogres on the path to the right. There's also something going on further ahead, seems to exist some other ogre walking effectually.

Walking around or, more accurately, fighting Gao.

Gao has no time for any of that nonsense. If you didn't read the coil earlier, this cutscene likewise gives you a hint on how to deal with ogres. They are very weak to both fire and ice.

Gao manages to cause a cavern-in by knocking the ogre downwards. Either the touch was much larger than it appeared, or these are load-bearing ogres.

At least Dawn Star seems to exist doing okay and got free at some point, which is nice to see.

I wonder how long they've been at this.

Be careful, that means fresh enemies for us. These caves harbor foreign creatures.

The path to the correct has two ogres, whereas the path to the left only has i. Starting with the path that has fewer ogres is generally a decent thought. Both paths are really dead ends and there's only a couple of chests at each of them, but since we're here let's fight some ogres.

As you may have figured out, ogres are very stiff but also extremely slow. One of them is no problem at all.

Fire works well, equally Gao demonstrated in the cutscene. That one fireball is near to striking Zu, only at that place's no friendly fire here so no harm washed.

The two ogres at the other dead stop aren't actually that much more of an issue. As long as you can avoid their clubs, you should have no problem whatsoever.

dammit

These chests accept zero practiced in them, by the way. This ane has a flake of silver and the other contains a Scholar's Precious stone of Fate, which increases the drop rate of focus powerups at the cost of a -1 reduction to Heed. Can you say "vendor trash"?

I exercise quite like those glowing mushrooms. They make this cavern a fiddling chip less boring to await at.

Oh, and speaking of inconveniences.

Toad demons are no joke. They're much tougher than ogres and their attacks are harder to avoid, and beingness demons they are allowed to magic styles. They're too too fat to exist afflicted by expanse attacks from any style.

Oh, and their attacks poisonous substance you on pinnacle of being pretty strong in the first place.

They have a couple of special attacks, the first of which involves their tongue. I don't know how much damage that does or what status furnishings information technology causes, because I'thousand absolutely not going to get hit by that.

Like I said, magic won't piece of work at all.

This is the toad demon's other special assault. He charges at you and tries to hit you with his massive gut, which (I'm assuming) does massive harm merely is pretty piece of cake to dodge considering it's telegraphed from a mile away.

Eventually I figure out that weapons piece of work just fine, and Fortune'south Favorite makes fairly quick work of the demon.

And we get our first transformation style! That's right, y'all can be the toad. Honestly, I've never used transformation styles very much considering even though they're powerful and it'due south fun to stomp around as 1 of these guys, they tend to exist a bit too slow and lumbering for my liking.

There'south Gao and Dawn Star. Equally I said, the cave is a very brusque expanse and just takes a couple of minutes to explore.

Gao reacts to our presence in his usual dignified and understated manner.

Did he retrieve we wouldn't come after him after he kidnapped our best friend?

I... don't like the sound of that.

You'll encounter. Death comes from in a higher place to ferret out your subconscious master and his real proper noun! Dawn Star was the merely matter I wanted to relieve, and what thanks do I go? Goose egg! So exist it, I'll just kill you all and forget your lamentable little hamlet e'er existed!

What take y'all done, Gao?

You'll run across. You lot've already lost, no affair what happens here. You'll meet. I'll make you lot see!

Yeah, that's what the ghost of the Former Master said, and look what happened to him. It does seem similar Gao knows something we don't and information technology'd be nice if we could investigate that further, only that's unfortunately non an option here. Well-nigh dialog options we get here are of the variety.

If nosotros accept to fight this moron once more (spoiler: we do), we'll get Dawn Star to aid united states of america out.

Actually, I think Dawn Star might want to kick Gao in his stupid face herself, simply she'll have to settle for support duty.

I'm pretty certain everyone except the primary characters know where this is going. Right now, though, all we tin do is fight Gao again.

VIDEO: Dominate: Gao the Lesser (again)

I don't know how, but Gao manages to striking united states of america with a strong fireball from point-blank range. That was not pleasant.

Despite that pocket-size setback and the fact he can at present utilize his fire magic against us in the commencement identify, Gao isn't that much tougher than he was in our previous encounter. Dawn Star's chi-restoring ability is of course extremely useful hither, and the game fifty-fifty drops a chi powerup for united states of america.

Gao probably didn't expect us to also exist able to throw fireballs. What better way to take him down than the very same magic he'due south been using against us and been all smug well-nigh?

Unfortunately, while I spend several seconds setting up my fire-animate dragon assault, Gao takes the opportunity to heal... and keep healing while on burn down. Welp, so much for all that progress we've made in this fight.

One nice thing about the combat in Jade Empire is that enemies tin can as well run out of chi. Gao used all of his on healing, so at present all we need to do is crush him upwards some more and that should be the end of that.

The stop of Gao the Bottom.

He had to know that someone in the village would come for me... although I suspected it would be yous.

I wouldn't allow annihilation happen to y'all, Dawn Star.

Well, I am grateful I have you as a friend. I've always respected your strength. I'thou surprised Gao didn't have an interest in you lot, instead of me.

Yes. Yes, he was. About the things he was saying before we fought him, though...

Never mind that, why are his arms covered in brownish gunk?

I don't know, but I call back nosotros should head dorsum to the hamlet.

Agreed. I want Primary Li to know that nosotros are both safe. Information technology'due south too bad, though; he wanted to attain Gao. I'm certain of it. Gao just seemed to get more and more biting. He didn't respond well to discipline. It's also bad.

Zu, head for the entrance. Dawn Star and I will clear the balance of the cave.

Nosotros could leave immediately, but at that place are goodies to exist found.

That mosquito-looking affair we saw earlier? That's a flying machine. The world of Jade Empire has a hint of... magical tech? I guess you could call it that. We haven't seen much of that technology nevertheless, but we'll exist seeing all kinds of interesting contraptions subsequently.

Gao drops this gem, which gives the states a +five boost to Intimidation and +one to Body and Spirit. Pretty good, although I usually prefer to apply Charm or Intuition rather than Intimidation.

I'grand non sure what the point is of having these spirit and focus shrines AFTER the boss fight. I certainly would've liked to top up my chi before fighting Gao.

Viper's Wit is a technique (Focus +two, Charm +one), non to exist dislocated with the Viper martial style.

Here's what evading a trap looks like. Commonly there is some kind of dodge animation equally well, but maybe I was too far from the breast for it to actually trigger.

This is the offset whorl of the Viper mode, which we won't exist seeing in this playthrough because information technology's a Airtight Fist style. I'd testify it off in the bonus Zither of Discord update, but the save editor doesn't seem to let you add or replace fighting styles.

That's all the loot, permit's get out of hither.

I didn't realize you took that much of a risk getting to me. Thank you.

I didn't desire to fight them all, but there was no real choice.

I heard Gao yelling at them to kill whatsoever bandits who might approach. I gauge they wouldn't stop to ask questions. His mercenaries didn't seem too eager to follow me into the cave, though. Information technology seemed like they were humoring him.

Yeah, that's what the merc told us as well.

An entire armada of flyers and some kind of balloon. That doesn't look promising.

You may accept won a victory over Gao the Lesser, but it looks like he put things in motion that have outlived him.

What? What exercise yous mean?

These machines have weapons. They drib casks that explode on touch on. In that location volition be soldiers on the footing as well.

Definitely does not sound promising.

He kidnapped y'all so yous wouldn't become caught in an attack?

It doesn't matter! We have to get back! The students... everyone will demand our help!

No Zu, we're not going to sit in the swamp while Gao's flyers bomb the boondocks.

I doubt there are 2 people in the Empire that know *how* they work. It'southward a baffling combination of magic and bamboozlement.

How do you lot know so much about it?

I've seen this kind of assault before. The tools used are different, but it'due south the aforementioned kind of destruction.

Wouldn't that be a different kind of set on?

At that place is a handle attached to something like the reins of an ox yoke. You move information technology left and right, forward and dorsum. It should swim through the air fairly smoothly.

Will you come to help us, Zu? You seem to have a good centre.

If... you are intent on returning, I volition accompany you. I have already washed more than I wanted, simply I could non avert this forever.

I'm sure that's goose egg and will never come up up over again.

Maybe I am imagining it. We will discuss it another time. I hope nosotros are non as well tardily.

At to the lowest degree we got it into the air. Flight it and landing it might be tougher, simply so far so good.

It seems we've got everything under control every bit far as flying this thing goes. At present all we have to practice is head towards Two Rivers and promise we are not too late.

You lot know how BioWare's games occasionally have vehicle sections spicing things upwards? KotOR had the swoop racing and the space battles, Mass Effect had the Mako (and Hammerhead, only I'll pretend that doesn't exist) Well, Jade Empire has its ain have on these. I don't know if there was a gas leak or what at BioWare'southward offices when they were coming upwards with concepts for Jade Empire'due south minigames, simply somehow we ended upwards with... well, this:

VIDEO: A vertically scrolling shoot 'em upwards

It's a pretty involved 1 as well. We can use various powerups (Radiant Aura is the simply 1 we take for at present, it'south a shield that absorbs a scrap of impairment) and upgrade our main cannon to fire two or three shots instead of 1 at a time. As far every bit shoot 'em ups go, this definitely isn't Radiant Silvergun or fifty-fifty Ghost Pilots, but yous can't arraign BioWare for half-assing it.

While this is very, very weird, it also works quite well in this particular department of the game. As we fly over 2 Rivers, we can encounter the town on burn down below us and I think this is more effective than a simple cutscene would be. This is the school, and it has been hit hard already.

The town has not fared whatsoever improve. Nosotros are, indeed, too late. Not that we'd have had much chance against a whole bombing armada anyhow, I suppose.

We eventually land on the beach. Everything is destroyed, but perhaps we can still observe someone who survived.

Nosotros will detect survivors. There has to exist someone left.

I hope you are right. Master Li wouldn't let this happen. Non without a fight.

Practise what y'all tin can together. Nosotros will meet in the heart of your school.

Zu runs off, presumably to scout ahead. He seems to know a lot well-nigh what's going on, and then perhaps he tin can observe something that could assistance united states. Maybe non. Doesn't seem like there's much to be washed for Two Rivers at this signal.

This is not how information technology was supposed to become. We were supposed to beat upwardly Gao, rescue Dawn Star and come back in fourth dimension for a celebration at the embankment.

We immediately notice out One-time Ming didn't get in. At least it seems he died doing what he liked all-time, disposed to the statue of the Emperor.

This whole section has pretty great atmosphere, bolstered by the fact we've actually spent time in this expanse, knew all the townspeople and therefore take a connection to Two Rivers. Obviously, information technology was the boring tutorial village and I uncertainty anyone's too broken up past its destruction, but at least they gave united states of america some reason to intendance.

I think that was Lin.

They said no survivors, so there better exist no survivors.

Looks like we take a few more peasants to put downwardly.

Let's just brand it quick.

Well, if you insist.

Things aren't getting whatever amend equally we approach the school. No sign of survivors.

Wait, mayhap I spoke too soon. Looks like someone'south still fighting.

Kia Min is still kicking ass, thanks to us helping her out before. Had nosotros screwed her over and given her the bearded tongue grass, this fight would take had a very dissimilar event.

I'll look to the villagers and save equally many every bit I tin can. Become!

Information technology's a bit difficult to tell in the screenshot, merely there are a couple of other people escaping alee of Kia Min. At to the lowest degree some fabricated information technology out okay, it seems.

Not that yous could tell by looking at the state of the school. In that location's something going on in the heart ring, simply it doesn't look good.

Indeed, it's just 1 of Gao'south men murdering yet some other student.

Of course he's gloating. With the exception of that 1 merc whose life nosotros spared dorsum in the swamp, everyone who works for (or is related to) Gao is required to be equally much of a raging dickhead as possible.

I think we have a pretty good idea why, just might too inquire.

Men! Gao the Greater wants this village cleared! Get the chore done!

A couple of waves of Gao's mercs for us to mop up, they can't really practice much to us at this point.

The lieutenant eventually joins the fray with his Leaping Tiger claws.

He has more health than the low-level mooks effectually him and hits a bit harder, but dodging his attacks isn't that large of a deal.

This is a support style nosotros haven't seen earlier. Information technology's called Storm Dragon, and information technology's 1 of the more useful ones especially if you lot want to practice harmonic combos. "Shocked" status causes damage over time, although the corporeality is rather minimal.

The fight takes a scrap longer than I would've liked, because this dick keeps avoiding that last striking and his martial style has a range advantage over mine. So, I end up throwing a fireball in his face.

Jing Woo emerges from the wreckage, badly wounded.

Shhh. We've chased off all of Gao's men. You'll be safe now.

It turns out Gao'due south men weren't responsible for this whole affair. They were involved, obviously, but it seems the Lotus Assassins did the heavy lifting and Gao's goons got to mop up what was left.

Expiry's Mitt himself arrived to oversee the proceedings. No wonder almost nobody made information technology.

Jing Woo finally succumbs to his injuries. It's a phenomenon any of the students even survived this long against such a horde.

Principal Li was taken when it began. He went without a fight, giving them what they wanted, merely afterwards the students... they were killed anyway.

The effigy your friend spoke of is Death's Hand, the leader of the Lotus Assassins. This... student was potent to alive equally long as he did.

Woo mentioned a woman giving orders. What well-nigh her?

A lieutenant, perhaps? Death'due south Manus leads all others. He would not appear unless this was important. He usually acts behind the scenes. I don't know why they were so intent on taking your Master Li, but they never set on without purpose.

Master Li told me that he was the Emperor'south brother. Gao overheard.

That's... not possible. Sunday Li the Glorious Strategist was the Emperor's brother and the head of the Purple Army. Your Principal Li cannot be him.

I'thousand pretty sure this is the offset fourth dimension Dawn Star really learns about Master Li existence the Glorious Strategist, although I suppose Gao may have mentioned it at some point.

And as well, the Glorious Strategist would not have made such mistakes.

What mistakes?

Revealing himself, for one. For another, he would have known that giving himself up would not save your students.

If Expiry's Hand is as vicious as yous say, he had to attempt something.

The Glorious Strategist would know his enemy, and if anything is true nearly Lotus Assassins, it's that they don't leave survivors. I should know.

That would explain how he knew so much about the set on. All the same, if Zu was still associated with them, he would've tried to kill u.s. already and certainly wouldn't have helped us discover Dawn Star.

I similar it when these games let you pick a reasonable response.

You know a lot. We volition have to talk almost the source of that knowledge.

Well, I guess this is still a reasonable thing to say hither. Zu may not exist a Lotus Assassinator anymore and doesn't seem to exist trying to actively kill us, but we'll yet want to be on guard just in example because we notwithstanding don't know much about him or what he may be planning.

I have to say - while the faces in Jade Empire occasionally end up in territory, the expressions we see here are quite well done for the fourth dimension. Especially Dawn Star'due south.

Information technology won't be stable plenty to go to the Royal Urban center, just we might reach the trading village of Tien'south Landing. All trade routes atomic number 82 to the heart of the Empire. If we are lucky nosotros can find someone to give the states passage. If we're lucky.

And so, with Chief Li missing and well-nigh of their friends dead, our heroes exit the ruins of Two Rivers - their by - behind them for proficient.

As for the hereafter, all they know for sure correct now is that they must find Master Li, and to do so they need to get to the Regal City via Tien's Landing... somehow. Wu and Dawn Star have spent their entire lives being guided past Main Li, and now that that guidance is gone information technology's pretty much off to the unknown for them.

Let'southward go.
