“Disrupt the Jade Brotherhood's operations by hacking machines, causing chaos, setting listening devices, collecting hazardous samples, and beating up anyone who challenges you.
— Heart objective
Infiltrate and sabotage operations in the Jade Brotherhood headquarters is a renown heart in Brotherhood Woodlands, The Echovald Wilds. Completion of this heart is part of the optional quest chain for the story instance To Catch a Spider.
Walkthrough[edit]
This heart requires you to speak to Kestrel Michiko to put on a disguise (feminine, masculine, or neither), which applies the Disguised and Suspicious effects. If you do something suspicious in the sight lines of Jade Brotherhood Guards, the Suspicious effect will be replaced with the Suspicion Level effect. You must monitor the progression of the Suspicion Level effect, as each suspicious action that is seen will add 10 stacks of suspicion per guard that saw it (e.g. picking up Technician's Supplies within sight of three guards will give 30 stacks of suspicion, however picking it up in front of one will only give 10 stacks). Reaching 100 stacks of suspicion will have you removed from the camp, but you can simply speak to Kestrel Michiko to reapply the disguise.
If a guard's icon changes from to , the guard is not looking and will not see an action completed before they resume looking.
If you are holding an item that can be used with an object, an icon will appear above the objects you can use it on (e.g. if you are holding a bucket of water from interacting with Water Supply, an icon will appear above Bonfires to indicate you can douse them with it). Once used, a clock icon may appear above the object that was interacted with and it cannot be interacted with again for a short period of time.

Notes[edit]
- Going under disguise is also required for map completion, giving you access to the vista in this area, and the Mi-Shen's Lab point of interest. To access the Mi-Shen's Lab point of interest, use a Jade Bot Dispenser (the closest is at the top of the stairs). Using your Jade Bot, fly it towards the Laboratory Intake Vent, which is located just above the door. You can also interact with the vista using the Jade Bot.
