Cheat Codes/Hints
Alternate Title Screen
The game will auto-save once you reach the final boss in the game. Once this auto-save happens, the alternate title screen will appear when you restart the game.
Bonus dialog
Successfully complete the game and allow the credits to continue until the end to hear extra dialog from various characters.
Crimson Tears
To receive the upgraded dual sword style Crimson Tears, climb the ranks in the Imperial Arena to the Bronze Division. When Cho comes and asks you to poison Crimson Khana refuse, then find her and tell her about this. Once you defeat her in the ring she will teach you Crimson Tears.
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.
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.
Defeat an enemy without using any Chi
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dragonfly Mini Game
To unlock the dragonfly minigame in the main menu, during the story choose attack instead of evade enemy between each chapters and complete the dragonfly missions.
