Bukdek Byway is a densely populated area of Kaineng City, with several levels of housing and confusing passages to navigate. The southeastern corner is controlled by the Am Fah of the Undercity while the Jade Brotherhood holds sway towards the northeast. The Afflicted have some presence in the center of the area.

[edit] Bosses

Afflicted

• 24 (30) Afflicted Guardsman Chun → Enraged Smash (only during the quest the Afflicted Guard)

Humans

• Jade Brotherhood (none of these will spawn if Chasing Zenmai is active)
  • 24 (30) Wing, Three Blade → Triple Chop (Wing's Axe)
  • 24 (30) Jin, the Purifier → Expel Hexes (The Purifier)
  • 24 (30) Kenshi Steelhand → Palm Strike (Kenshi's Butterfly Daggers) (a copy of him spawns during the quest Eliminate the Jade Brotherhood even with Chasing Zenmai active)

[edit] Notes

• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests yielded roughly 135 foes or so. Discounting quest influences, it has been reported to range from 1 to 170.
  • The Chasing Zenmai quest will make this area devoid of foes. As such, there are three ways to enable the vanquishing of this area with a single kill or with less than ten kills. Entering from the Marketplace is recommended to avoid triggering Chasing Zenmai. Also note that the quests Eliminate the Am Fah and Eliminate the Jade Brotherhood must not be active.
    • With the Afflicted Guard quest active, only one kill is needed.
    • With the Drunken Master quest active, only one kill is needed.
    • Without the above two, the Missing Daughter quest, when acquired, will spawn a few foes that can then be eliminated to vanquish the area.
• There is a lazy cat curled up napping next to the Balthazar shrine near the southeast exit to the Undercity which will occasionally flick its tail or stretch itself.
• A pug (a type of dog) can be found in a trough just outside Kaineng Center.
