Introduction

In the Far East, there is a person that has a destiny to create a wave of drastic change over the beautiful and regarded Jade Empire. Their journey will not be an easy one, as they will encounter many fiendish enemies and ghouls to tear apart on their venture. That person is you, young reader. But what if you cannot save the Jade Empire by overcoming these obstacles? What if those toad-men looking beasts kick you in the teeth before you can whip out your Chi powers?

Do not fear, Silent Boar, as IGN Guides is here to show you the ways of the Open Palm. If you still want your MTV, you're here in the Intro. If you don't know your Chi Blast from your Chia Pet, you should check out the Basics. The Followers section should do you some good, as it will tell you all about your followers in the game. The Fighting Styles section will keep you plenty busy as we go through the brief descriptions of each class. The Walkthrough will describe how to clear the game, and hopefully bring peace to the Jade Empire. Take a gander at the Boards if you would like to share your own strategies with IGN's finest... or at least the fanboys.

in this Jade Empire strategy guide, you'll find:

• Basic Strategies
• Followers Details
• Fighting Styles Descriptions
• Complete Jade Empire Walkthrough
