Has anyone had problems with the monk epic? I keep talking to Master Makoto Shoda with both books in my bag, but he doesn't give me the quest.
I"m going to guess you've missed a prerequisite. You did get the book Teachings of Master Wu from the collection turn-in, right? If that isnt the issue, then maybe this is: You must have completed Wu's Edict of the Material quest-line that starts with Wu's Edict of Existence.
