Hint:
Easy money: After talking to Master Li, enter the other room. You will find a
chest that has three small statues in it. Take them. Then, go to the large
statue of a lion. Approach the altar, and whatever color his palm glows,
place the corresponding statue there. After you have placed all three
statues you will receive one silver coin. You can do this until you receive
17 silver coins, and you will keep the small statues. If you decide to
destroy the alter, you will be given 24 silver coins and will lose the small
statues.
To get silver and a item at the
start of the game, after you talk to Master Li there is a statue in the room
next to the one where you and Li had a discussion. In the room with the
statue is a chest with colored lions.Put the lions one by one on the wooden
frame corresponding to the color of the sphere the statue lion holds. For
example, blue sphere, blue lion, etc. You can do this seventeen times and
get silver coins. With those silver coins, go out in the back of the school
(not where smoky mountain is, but on the other side). There is a path that
leads up to a spot where two students are training. Defeat them for easy
experience. Then, keep exploring that area. You will see a bridge with a
burial memorial. Deposit the silver coins and you will get the headstone.
Take that head stone to the lion statue and put it in place. Three more
colors will appear on the sphere. Choose the correct combinations of the
lions to get a lion statue that helps with your health and something else.
Note: Do not break the table because you will only get twenty silver coins
and it is not worth it. If you break table you will not be able to do this
trick.
Instead of getting the maximum
number of coins from the altar, get a coin, then explore the tomb of the old
master of the school. Put a coin in the bowl. You will then get the symbol
from the tomb. Go back to the lion altar, place the symbol in the lion's
mouth, and the test will change. Complete the new test (yellow + blue =
green, yellow + red = orange, and red + blue = purple), and you will receive
the Gaze of the Lion, which will give you a few bonuses.
Instead of foisting your
essence gems off on the Magical Abacus or random merchants, save them until
you reach the Imperial City. Make your way to the Arena and fight through
the ranks until Lucky Cho and Sweet Poison Lyn make their "offer."
After either refusing or accepting, sell your gems to the poisoner. She will
pay twice the amount for the gems that the Abacus will pay. This is an
extremely useful tactic to stockpile money.
Hint:
Regain health: If you are running low on health in battle, hold B (block)
and hold White (heal) to heal yourself without receiving damage from
enemies. Note: This drains Chi energy.
Hint:
Get all endings easily: Save near the end of the game. You can then choose to complete
the game as desired and view each of the three different endings.
Hint:
Bonus dialog: Successfully complete the game and allow the credits to continue
until the end to hear extra dialog from various characters.
Hint:
Dragonfly mini-game: Always select "Attack" between each chapters and
complete the Dragonfly missions to unlock the Dragonfly mini-game at the
main menu.
Hint:
Technique from Sweet Poison Ivy: When you enter the Imperial Arena fights, do not lose any matches
before becoming champion to gain a strong technique.
Hint:
Ice Shard style: When training to be a Lotus Assassin, talk to the woman that you
replaced to be a trainer. See what she has for sale. In her wares, she has
the Ice Shard style. Buy it and you can control fire and ice; or if you
start with ice then you will get fire from her.
Hint:
Paralyzing Palm support style: When you visit the Black Leopard School at the Imperial City, you
will fight four students. Defeat them and you will talk to the first
brother. Agree to join the school and support the Open Palm Master. You will
end up fighting the Closed Fist Master. Afterwards, the Open Palm Master
will teach you Paralyzing Palm and give you the items that the Closed Fist
Master promised you.
Hint:
Upgrades: You can find enhanced weapons when playing as Dawn Star, Silk
Fox, or Whirlwind. They appear in chests in their respective levels. For the
girls, run down to the fountain in that area and a chest will appear on the
far side when you get close enough. Whirlwind's weapon is near a wall. These
upgrades significantly increase your deadliness in those scenarios.
Hint:
Deal greater damage quickly with any martial style: Use the following trick to increase the damage you deal for a
short period of time. Go into focus mode then power up your martial skills
with Chi. The focus will make it harder for your opponents to dodge your
attacks and the Chi power up will make you deal greater damage.
Hint:
Defeating Sun Li: Before fighting the final battle with the Glorious Strategist on
your second trip to the Imperial Palace, check in with the Magical Abacus.
He will have three books for sale. One will add +50 Health, another +50 Chi,
and the final one will add +50 Focus. Each book costs 50,000 silver, but can
provide that extra edge to defeat Sun Li.
Hint:
Defeating The Ravenger: Block in front of him by holding B. When you see him turn
blue and hold his axes up, quickly roll beside him and attack him with a
combo. Then, switch to block and repeat. He should not do the three step
combo he has, because every time he sees the shield, he should go for his
strong attack which will give you time to perform a combo. He may also try
and perform an area attack, which you can block and fit a few hits in before
blocking again.
Hint:
Defeating blocking enemies: For enemies who continue to block after every time you break
their shield, simply jump behind them and use a normal combo at their back:
press A(3). This will send them falling forward. They will start
attacking again, but eventually will start blocking. Repeat this as many
times as needed.
Hint:
Easy bounty: When you get to the Imperial City, you will encounter an officer
who is offering bounties. Go to the Scholars Garden to find Scholar Kongyu.
If you have Sky with you he will ask a question and confuse Kongyu. He then
reveals his plight to you. He claims the bounty is unjust. If you decide to
help him leave the city, you will see just how much a fool he is.
Hint:
Shadow creature: Play as any character following the Path Of The Closed Fist.
Stand still for awhile and watch your shadow. It will grow tentacles.
Hint:
Lotus Assassins: When trying to become part of the Lotus Assassins. feel free to
be tough as needed while trying to get in. If you are following the Path Of
The Open Palm, it will not count against you.
Hint:
Gambling accident: When at the arena, talk to the gambler and play a game. If you
manage to win twenty times in a row, he will explode. Also, if you win more
than 5,000 silver, he will stop gambling with you and say that you are bad
for business.
Hint:
Ghost: When you are at Tien's Landing and are about to close the dam,
there is an orphanage in one of the corners before you enter the quarry.
When you get the old caretaker from the tavern to go back and the bury the
bones of the children, there will be a ghost in the background as he is
speaking. It will be by the back wall. When he finishes speaking, he will
disappear. It looks like he is making funny faces and such. Note: This was
done while being a follower of the Open Palm Road.
Glitch:
Move while standing: While in Chapter 3, take the side quest from the gravedigger.
Kill the elder Fong and talk to his son. After that he starts to walk away.
Quickly talk to him before he leaves and keep pressing A. Instead of
walking, you will just stand there when you move around.
