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.

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.

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. Additionally, 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 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 make a lot of money.

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 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.

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.

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.

Play with any character following the Path Of The Closed Fist. Stand still for awhile and watch your shadow; it will grow tentacles.

When trying to become part of the Lotus Assassins, you can 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
