This is the Heart Of China hint section.
Problem:
What can I do at the dock?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
Is this paper blowing around on the street of use?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
What must I do at Ho's Bar?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How can I get Chi to join me?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How can I get Madam Wu to help me?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How can I get past the immigration official?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
What information can I get from Lomax?
Hint:
Lomax will not say anything helpful to you at this point in the
game. Check in with him later as the game progresses.
Chengdu Fortress (part 1)

Chengdu Fortress. He will tell you whether or not a particular
site is safe to land if he is with you in the Eagle.
Problem:
What do I need from the peasant?
Hint:
You need the peasant's clothes from him to help you sneak inside
the fortress gate.
Problem:
How do I interact with the peasant?

You will need to select Chi as the active character and offer
the peasant some tobacco in exchange for his clothing. Use the

as the active character and lasso the cow with the rope.
Problem:
How can I get into the fortress through the front gate?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How can Lucky enter the fortress?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
Is there another way into the fortress?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
I keep drowning in the sewer! Help!
Hint:
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.

pass out.
Problem:
How can I get into the throne room?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How do I avoid capture in other parts of the fortress?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How do I get past the guards in the foyer?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
What should I do in the dining room?
Hint:
You need the bottle of rice wine from the center table. Pushing
the dining room lamp over will start a fire and distract the
guards in the foyer.
Problem:
How can I rescue Kate?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How do we escape from the great hall?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How do I get out of the fortress?
Hint:
You need to take one of Li Deng's tanks. They are parked near
the back of the fortress.
Problem:
Where are the keys to the tank?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
Tips on the Tank arcade.
Hint:
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.
Katmandu
Problem:
How can I save Kate?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
How can Chi use the healing touch?
Hint:

into a hand. Move the hand icon over Kate and click the left
mouse button.

You will need to make more than one trip to see the Lama. On the

meditating. Return later. You must exit all the way to the
street scene before the Lama will see you again. When you
return, the Lama will tell you about the sacred scroll.

The people at the tavern will help you get the sacred scroll
from Bojon if you visit them after seeing the Wally Lama.

2, 2. If you give him your gun he will help you to retrieve the
scroll from Bojon.
Problem:
What should I do at the junk yard?
Hint:
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.
Problem:
What do I do at the telegraph office?
Hint:
You need to send a cable to Lomax to update him on your
progress. This will make things easier for you later in the
game.
Istanbul
Problem:
What should I do at the British Officer's Club?
Hint:
You need to phone Lomax from the officer's club to let him know
you aren't going to be able to meet him in Hong Kong. Order two
drinks from Hoji, the bartender, and ask to use the phone. When
you speak with Lomax, use the following responses if you
telegraphed him from Katmandu: 2, 2, 1 otherwise, use these
choices: 3, 2.
Problem:

rescue him. Talk to Almira for hints on rescuing Lucky.

and to buy the items she needs to rescue Lucky. Try the

locket - 3, 2. Accept Kasim's offer of 105 sheckels. Next, buy
the hacksaw. This is the only item you will need from here.

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

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.
Problem:
What do I do when the Tong's men blow up the Yankee Eagle?

retreat immediately or you will die.
