Dead Rails has received some new items called the Jade Tablet and the Jade Sword and a quest involved to use them. While the Jade Tablets might seem like mere “junk,” they’re actually the key to unlocking the powerful weapon of the Jade Sword, which has a unique ability to bring enemies back to life as allies. Sounds interesting? Here’s what you need to know.
How to Find Jade Tablets in Dead Rails
There are four Jade Tablets scattered around Dead Rails, and if you can track them all down, you’ll gain access to the Jade Sword. Here’s where to find them:
- Inside the Sterling Church – One tablet is hiding inside the church in the town of Sterling. You can find it anywhere from 10,000-30,000m or even around 55,000-70,000m. Make sure the loot the town and grab the torch from the Sheriff’s building.
- In the Mines – The remaining three are deep in the mines near Sterling:
- One is next to a Strange Mask.
- Another is placed on a red button, hidden behind some barrels.
- The last one is kept at the very end of a long path in the mines—just keep moving left until you find it.
Once you’ve got all four, you’re halfway to getting the Jade Sword. Now comes the tricky part—unlocking it.
How to Get the Jade Sword in Dead Rails
This isn’t as simple as just collecting the tablets. You’ll need to head into the mines, survive some tough enemies, and solve a little puzzle. Here’s the step-by-step process:
- Head to Sterling – Keep an eye out for this town at the distances mentioned above.
- Enter the Mines – Behind the church, you’ll find a blocked-off mine entrance. Blow it open with dynamite (they can be found near a minecart).
- Survive the Mine – Expect a wave of skeletons and dynamite zombies spawning every few seconds. Stay alert.
- Find the Hidden Room – Locate the red button behind barrels, then place all four Jade Tablets on it.
- Unlock the Treasure – A hidden chamber will open, revealing not only the Jade Sword but also some gold, silver, and valuable bonds.
Is the Jade Sword Worth It?
The unique aspect of the Jade Sword is that it has a 50% chance to reanimate any enemy it kills, turning them into an ally. Imagine taking down a tough enemy (like a werewolf) and then having them fight for you—that’s a game-changer, especially in tough battles.
Of course, getting your hands on this legendary sword isn’t easy. The mines are full of dangers, and if you’re not careful, you might not make it out alive in your run. But a weapon that lets you turn the battle in your favor is worth the risk and effort.
