When entering the Guo-Lai Halls, make note of the symbol at the bottom of the stairs. Many of the rooms in here have stones with various symbols on them and stepping on those with the same symbol will prevent you from taking damage from various sources.
This quest is a reference to the famous orchestral piece In the Hall of the Mountain King, composed by Edvard Grieg for the sixth scene of act 2 in Henrik Ibsen's 1876 play Peer Gynt.

Description
The second artifact of power is the Battle Helm of the Thunder King. Emperor Lei Shen wore the helm into every battle. It became so well-known that his enemies would flee at the mere sight of it. When the Emperor died, they placed the helm in the very bottom of the Guo-Lai Halls to the west, surrounded by thousands of terracotta soldiers. Thus, they could look upon their leader and follow him into death.
