Q: What can I do at the dock?
A: You won't be able to accomplish anything at the dock until you've
solved two other puzzles in Hong Kong. First you must get Zhao Chi
to join you. Secondly, you need to visit Madam Wu, the Master Herbalist.
If you approach Madam Wu correctly, she will send you to get some
seagull droppings to mix in an herbal potion. Go to the dock and give
the seagull on the piling the prune from Chi's inventory, then pick-up
the bird droppings and return with them to Madam Wu's.
Q: Is this paper blowing around on the street of use?
A: Wait until one of the pieces of paper lands on the ground near
the center of the screen, then pick it up. You will need this piece
of paper in a puzzle to get Zhao Chi to join you.
Q: What must I do at Ho's Bar?
A: Ho's bar is the place where you will recruit the Ninja, Zhao Chi.
He is in the bar, but you can't talk to him without first going through
Ho, the bartender, and then some of Chi's other friends. Go to the
left side of the bar and talk to Ho. Use the following dialog choices
to meet Zhao Chi: 3, 1, 2, 2, 3. Be sure not to waste time with the
bar girl, she's trouble.
Q: How can I get Chi to join me?
A: You will have to convince Chi of two things before he will join
you: First, that you are sincere in your mission and second, that
flying in a plane is a safe means of travel. To convince him of your
integrity use the following dialog choices: 1, 2, 3. Next, you must
use the piece of paper you found in the street outside Ho's Bar to
demonstrate the principles of flight by folding it into a paper airplane
and throwing it to Chi. To fold the airplane, open the main inventory
and drop the flyer on Lucky.
Q: How can I get Madam Wu to help me?
A: You must have Chi with you to get anything useful from Madam Wu.
After Chi introduces you, she will agree to make the herbal potion
if you bring her some seagull droppings. Madam Wu will also offer
you some other items. Not all items will be helpful.
Q: How can I get past the immigration official?
A: Tell him you forgot your identification. If you took the fake
passport from Madam Wu, don't give it to the customs agent. Hun Fa
Lo is a wanted criminal and you will be arrested if you try to use
his passport.
Q: What information can I get from Lomax?
A: Lomax will not say anything helpful to you at this point in the
game. Check in with him later as the game progresses.

Q: Where do I land the Yankee Eagle?
A: Zhao Chi knows the location of a good landing site near the Chengdu
Fortress. He will tell you whether or not a particular site is safe
to land if he is with you in the Eagle.
Q: What do I need from the peasant?
A: You need the peasant's clothes from him to help you sneak inside
the fortress gate.
Q: How do I interact with the peasant?
A: You will need to select Chi as the active character and offer
the peasant some tobacco in exchange for his clothing. Use the following
dialog responses: 1, 1, 1.

A: You will need the rope from inside the Yankee Eagle. Select Chi
as the active character and lasso the cow with the rope.
Q: How can I get into the fortress through the front gate?
A: Select Chi as the active character and dress him in the peasant's
clothing. Make sure he has the cow with him as well. Wait outside
the gate until you see a farmer enter the fortress with another cow,
then Chi may enter. Lucky must get into the fortress another way.
Q: How can Lucky enter the fortress?
A: You will need to make a grappling rope by combining the rope and
the grappling hook from the Yankee Eagle. Throw the grappling rope
over the wall on the west side of the fortress. Make sure that Chi
changes into his Ninja veil once he is inside the fortress or he will
be caught by the guards.
Q: Is there another way into the fortress?
A: Together, Lucky and Chi can enter through the sewer grate on the
side of the fortress. You will need the crowbar from the Yankee Eagle.
Wait until the patrolling guard is out of sight, then use the crowbar
to pry the gate open.
Q: I keep drowning in the sewer! Help!
A: Once inside the sewer you only have a limited amount of time to
find the exit. Use Lucky's lighter to light torches in the sewer.
In the third chamber there is a beam you can use to climb up the hole
in the roof near the caved-in part of the tunnel.

A: Only Chi can sneak into the throne room. He must go in alone and
be wearing the Ninja veil. You don't need to go into the throne room
to win the game, but if you do manage to get in you will hear a hint
on how to escape the fortress after you have rescued Kate Lomax.
Q: How do I avoid capture in other parts of the fortress?
A: If you are alone in the fortress as Chi, you must be wearing the
Ninja veil at all times or you will be seen by the guards. If Lucky
and Chi are together you cannot enter the throne room or any other
room which has a guard posted at the door.
Q: How do I get past the guards in the foyer?
A: Create a diversion by pushing the lamp over in the dining room.
The lamp will start a fire. Hide in the cook's bedroom until the guards
find the fire. Make sure to take the cook's knife.

the dining room lamp over will start a fire and distract the guards
in the foyer.

Q: How can I rescue Kate?
A: The only way to get past the cobras is to shoot them. Unfortunately,
when you shoot one of the cobras, the other will bite Kate. There
is no way to avoid this. To shoot the snake, drag the gun from the
inventory to the picture of Lucky. He will now have the gun in his
hand. When you return to the first person point of view, click on
your right mouse button. You will see a gun sight. Put the sight on
a cobra and fire the gun.
Q: How do we escape from the great hall?
A: You must exit via the balcony at the far end. Use the curtain
rope holding drapes on the left side of the balcony to swing down
with Kate while Chi covers you. Barring the door of the great hall
will give you a little more time to escape.
Q: How do I get out of the fortress?
A: You need to take one of Li Deng's tanks. They are parked near
the back of the fortress.
Q: Where are the keys to the tank?
A: The keys to the tank are kept in the guardhouse at the front of
the fortress. If you don't have the keys, you can attempt to hot-wire
it by prying off the starter switch cover with the cook's knife or
the crowbar.
Q: Tips on the Tank arcade.
A: After driving the tank down the hill, take the road that goes
to the left. When you reach the rolling hills, leave the road (again
to the left), and drive along the bushes. Look for a break in the
brush and you will find a road. Stay on the road until you find the
Yankee Eagle. Be sure to blow up the truck or Li Deng's men will sabotage
your plane.
Q: How can I save Kate?
A: First of all, Lucky must go for help. When Lucky has gone, Chi
needs to shelter Kate with the tarp and blanket from inside the Yankee
Eagle. Next, give her the healing herbs from Madam Wu's. Finally,
Chi must use the Shaolin healing touch on Kate.
Q: How can Chi use the healing touch?
A: Click and hold the right mouse button. The mouse icon will turn
into a hand. Move the hand icon over Kate and click the left mouse
button.

the Lama will see you again. When you return, the Lama will tell you
about the sacred scroll.

A: The people at the tavern will help you get the sacred scroll from
Bojon if you visit them after seeing the Wally Lama. Approach the
man named Sardar and try the following responses: 2, 2. If you give
him your gun he will help you to retrieve the scroll from Bojon.
Q: What should I do at the junk yard?
A: You can get fuel for the Yankee Eagle from Kubla, but you have
to give him something first. For best results, select response 1.
You need to make a toy for Kubla by combining the cigar box found
in the junk yard with the chopsticks and coins from Chi's inventory.
Give Kubla the toy and the fuel will be at the plane waiting for you.

Q: What should I do at the British Officer's Club?

with Lomax, use the following responses if you telegraphed him from
Katmandu: 2, 2, 1 otherwise, use these choices: 3, 2.
Q: What do I do after Lucky gets captured?
A: Due to a previous misadventure in Istanbul, Lucky has gotten himself

to play. Watch Mohmar carefully during the shell game. He will often
try to cheat if he starts losing.

A: Almira can help you rescue Lucky if you befriend her and have
the necessary equipment with you. Make sure to give her the flower
you got from the fruit stand at the entrance to the city. To successfully
rescue Lucky, you must also have a hacksaw and a camel.
Q: What do I do when the Tong's men blow up the Yankee Eagle?
A: You have very little time to get out of Istanbul after the Eagle
has been blown up. You need to take the Orient Express to Paris.
