Jade Tablets might look like ordinary junk in Dead Rails, but in reality, these items are the key to unlocking a legendary weapon: the Jade Sword.
This article will reveal the locations of all four tablets, how to use them, and secret tips for claiming this mystical sword. Read on for more.
What Are Jade Tablets?
Jade Tablets are items classified as Junk that have a unique appearance:
- Design: Rectangular green stone slabs with ancient carvings.
- Text: Divided into two complementary parts.
- Texture: Appears rough, chipped, and gives off a mystical vibe like an ancient artifact.
Although categorized as junk, these four tablets are mandatory items to unlock access to the Jade Sword!
All Jade Tablet Locations
There are a total of 4 Jade Tablets scattered across the following areas:
1. First Tablet: Sterling Church

- Location: Enter the Sterling church, then search around the altar area or the dark side rooms.
2. Second Tablet: Near Jade Masks Vault

- Location: Find the area with the strange masks (Jade Masks vault). The tablet is located near the wall or floor around that location.
- Clue: Check the corridor leading to the underground room.
3. Third Tablet: Inside the Mines

- Location: Explore the dark and dangerous mines area. The tablet is usually hidden:
- Near broken rail tracks.
- Inside an open minecart.
- In the corner of a room near the elevator.
4. Fourth Tablet: On Top of the Red Button

- Location: This tablet is already situated on top of the Red Button that accesses the Jade Sword.
- Note: You don’t need to search for the fourth tablet—head directly to the Red Button location after collecting the other 3 tablets.
How to Use Jade Tablets to Unlock the Jade Sword
Once all four tablets are accounted for (3 collected, 1 at the location), follow these steps:
- Find the Hidden Room:
- Look for an area with 3 barrels on the map. The secret room is located behind this arrangement of barrels.
- Access the Red Button:
- Insert all the collected Jade Tablets into the slots on the Red Button.
- Claim the Jade Sword:
- Once all tablets are placed correctly, the Jade Sword will be unlocked and can be picked up!
