''Jade Empire'' is an ActionRPG computer game developed by Creator/BioWare for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} in 2005 and subsequently ported to the PC and, much later, to Macs and iOS mobile devices. It is set in a fantasy world based on ImperialChina in which [[AllMythsAreTrue all (local) myths are true]]: ghosts, demons and ogres litter the landscape, magic is fueled by chi, and a CelestialBureaucracy keeps the world in harmony. [[SchizoTech And there are flying machines that shoot fireballs.]]

* ThePlan: And a borderline [[GambitRoulette roulette]], if the guy weren't so '''good''' at it. [[spoiler: Master Li, really the Emperor's brother Sun Li, killed a spirit monk rescuing you from the destruction of Dirge in order to raise you as his prized pupil, but also ensuring to teach you a flaw in your technique that ''only'' he could exploit (other sometimes see it, but none are good enough to exploit it before they're on their back staring at the lights, as it were, and most conclude it's a feint). That way, he'd get you to kill all the people he needed dead--in particular, his now god-like brother Emperor Sun Hai, who is uniquely suited to be dealt with by a Spirit Monk. Then, at your moment of triumph, he would use your trust and the flaw he taught you to kill you, since you couldn't defend against him.]]

* KillTheParentRaiseTheChild: [[spoiler:Sun Li The Glorious Strategist took part in the massacre of the Spirit Monk monastery orchestrated by his brother, Emperor Sun Hai. Leaving the monastery, he killed a Spirit Monk who was fleeing across the mountains with a baby, then took the baby into the backwoods of the empire and raised them, training them in martial arts so they would grow up to become a TykeBomb, assassinate Sun Hai for him and allow him to claim the empire for himself]].

* BraggingRightsReward: Defeating the BonusBoss in the Imperial Arena earns you the Superior Warrior Gem. There are barrels and crates that give randomly-generated treasure that give better gear. Additionally, beating all of the Arena without losing ''once'' (for most Arena fights, you don't die on a loss) earns you a Technique (minor stat increase). Not surprisingly, this is one of the hardest challenges in the game, barring SaveScumming.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: Tang's Vengeance, a pair of axes similar to Black Whirlwind's and the Jade Golem's. They're probably the most powerful weapon style available, but you get them by defeating [[spoiler:the Ravager]], the most deadly BonusBoss in the game. Still, at that point there's plenty about a third of game left, and a lot of ''not''-bonus bosses to cleave through.
