Damage Shield
There is a very powerful essence gem that will help when ending the game. In the Imperial City, at the Black Leopard school, you can choose to side with one of the two masters, each following a way. You will be confronted by each of them. They will both tell you to kill the opposite. Either way, you will get a gem labeled "Damage Shield". This surrounds you in a shield that reduces damage significantly.

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. This was done while being a follower of the Open Palm Road.

Transform to horse deamon style and start tapping X during the transformantion until you start to throw a fireball. Then quickly switch to a style thats not a transformation and the fireball will continue and hit the enemy without costing any chi.

This glitch will instantly and completely kill whatever enemy you face if a cutscene is known to occur in the middle of the battle. To achieve this you must have a transformation style in your hot keys for styles. Then right before the cutscene is known to occur, transform. During the cutscene, you will notice that you have changed back to your normal form, but are blinking oddly. When you enter battle again, you will slide along the floor without walking, and will not be able to attack. Now use the transformation style again and the enemy will die, instantly.

During a battle equip a style that you like and keep it equipped until the end of the battle. After the battle change the quickstyle(unequip it with a new one). The next fight you start you will have the style automatically and use no chi or focus.

After talking to Master Li, go into 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.

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.

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 your behavior will not count against you.

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.

Play as any character following the Path Of The Closed Fist. Stand still for a while and watch your shadow. It will grow tentacles.

When you enter the arena fights, do not lose any matches before becoming champion to gain a strong technique.

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.
