I made this FAQ as I got time to spare and I am training my typing skills.
I am a tactican, like Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Pang Tong, etc (Historically.)
Doing an FAQ is kinda a second nature to me. Too bad I aint a warrior at games.
*sighs* Well... can't have the best of everything. (=^_^=)
Another reason is because I prefer to make sure that the things did work, before
I write an FAQ. I had tried all the things I put here. The only reasons why it
could ever go wrong are these 4 possibility:
1) My fault. (My typo error. Or I may have missed out on some 'do not'
cos I was lucky. Luck plays a major factor in many scenarios)
2) You had misinterpreted what I wrote. (I'll try my best not to let this happen)
3) You were just unlucky. (Sometimes you could have missed making the
requirements by parts of a second, it does happen. Or some events happened
before/after when they should. Or you were just too excited that u killed
some generals that u shouldn't. Accident happens.)
4) ARE YOU SURE U READ CAREFULLY AND MET EVERY REQUIREMENT!!!!
I do accept questions for the mass. I have a choice of answering or ignoring
them. I will try to reply the emails too, time will be the factor.
E-Mail:
[email protected] (Its juz a spare account, juz for the questions,
requests and such. I will read it when I am free.)
A little "scary" fact
The "Very Hard" difficulty is hell worse than the "Hard" difficulty.
The "Very Hard" difficulty is a truely a little stressful. BUT never fear!!
There's a easier way to obtain the 5th weapon for all characters. There is
definately no need for gameshark.
But I doubt anyone that really PLAY DW3 & DW3:XL would want to do it.
For those CHEAPSHOTS, go spend the effort to find out how. Begging me is an
option, but it depends on my mood at the time I read your request. *Laughs*
U can try E-Mailing:
[email protected]
Time taken to get all 5th weapon easily (All characters start at basic stats):
------------------------------------------------------
Stats training time: 2hr ~ 10hr
Play time:41 x 20mins = 13hr 40mins (rough estimate)
Misc time:40mins (toilet, food, drinks and such)
Load time:10mins (all those loading and results displaying)
------------------------------------------------------
Total time: 16hrs 30mins ~ <24hrs
The normal way will be anything from >24hrs to days! There are some horrid
requirements, such as for SIMA YI's 5th weapon, etc.. You may spend hours to
days to try obtaining it.

For newbies or beginners:
*!!! ARCHERS are the main causes of most deaths. IT is proven that archers are
the most hated/dangerous enemies u will face in DW3 or DW3:XL. TAKE them out
as soon as you see/discover them. This will save a lot of your life, especially
in the 'Very Hard' mode.
*!!! REMEMBER to use the block button (L1). It saves a lot of life when u are
fighting generals.
* Since u aint that great at the game yet. I suggest that you do not attempt
the 'Very Hard' mode yet. It is truely hell on a map.
* A short/medium musou bar is suggested, a long musou bar takes a little
too long to fill. Sometimes you may be killed just because your musou bar
did not fill up in time, whereas u could have stayed alive if you had executed
that musou move.
For novices:
*!!! Archers are the main causes of most deaths. IT is proven that archers are
the most hated/dangerous enemies u will face in DW3 or DW3:XL. TAKE them out
as soon as you see/discover them. This will save a lot of your life, especially
in the 'Very Hard' mode.
*!!! REMEMBER to use the block button (L1). It saves a lot of life when u are
fighting generals.
For the experts/professionals:
I doubt I got anything to say that you do not know. If I need to teach you
strategies, maybe you ain't suppose to be an expert or a professional yet.
Some fearful facts on 'Very Hard' difficulty:
!!!!!Take great caution when battling GAN NING. NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! get hit
by his musou attack. I would rather waste a musou bar to make it a weapon lock
than be hit by GAN NING's musou attack.
GAN NING's musou attack: ('Very Hard' Difficulty. The CPU using GAN NING. Does
damage to a maxed out LU BU)
Normal Musou: More than 15% of the life bar for each hit.
True Musou: About 40% - 60% of the life bar depending on the numbers of hits
struck.
!!!!!The death element is also very dangerous. It wipes out your life bar in
chunks. Therefore be VERY careful when battling generals with a death element
on their 4th weapon, such as CAO CAO, LU XUN, XIAO QIAO, ZHANG HE, WEI YAN.
!!!Interestingly, troops NEVER retreat. Not even after the main general is
killed. Luckily the sub generals DO retreat once the main general is killed.

Your character will still be in blocking position. The movement speed is
decreased significantly. Your character only can move in straight lines
left, right, up and down.
Bow Attack: Hold down R1 to switch to bow screen.
Press 'S' for normal shot. 'T' for charged shot. 'C' for musou shot.
Nornal: 'S' 'SS' 'SSS' 'SSSS' 'SSSS' 'SSSSS' 'SSSSSS'

Effects varies. Needs charge time of abt 1 second.
Charge 2: ST
Hits opponent up in the air.

Charge 4: SSST
A rushing attack.
Charge 5: SSSSTT
'SSSST' will hit the enemy into the air the following up 'T' will knocks
the enemy down from the air.
'SSSSTT__S' is a better variable. After your character hits the enemy down in

_____________
Comments: !!Choosing which weapon is better (4th/5th) for some is worse than
taking an examination!!
I still don't know what "charge" does; Eg. PANG TONG's 5th.
(Shu)-----------------------
----------------------------
ZHAO YUN:
– War Dragon (5th)
Basic Attack +43
Lightning
Musou Max +78

Stage: The Nanman Campaign, Shu's side

Hints: You need not beat Meng Huo 6 times. BUT kill him whenever he pose a
threat to ZHUGE LIANG or yourself.
----------------------------------------
– Fierce Dragon (4th)
Basic Attack +43

Method: Defeat XIAHOU DUN and ZHANG LIAO, CAO CAO's backup troops appear
event, LIU BEI calls for help, ride a horse and go near LIU BEI, ZHAO YUN
announces his presence event, defeat ZHANG HE.
Comments: 'Fierce Dragon' will be a better choice. The defence and attack
boost is a better choice than the reach and musou charge boost. 'War Dragon'
is a better choice for novice to normal difficulty, its more of a fun weapon.
Personally, I would prefer 'War Dragon' because of the long musou bar caused
by either weapon and lightning element is more fun than fire element.
GUAN YU:
– Divine Dragon (5th)
Basic Attack +49
Speed +21
Musou Max +82
Defense +60
Musou Charge +25
Red Hare Saddle
Stage: The Battle At Fan Castle, Shu's side

Direction: Toward south
Method: Pass the 4th gate.
Comments: 'Blue Moon Dragon' gives HP boost and the lightning element.
'Divine Dragon' gives speed and musou charge. Both are with some plus and
minus, I prefer 'Blue Moon Dragon'.

– Serpent Blade (5th)
Basic Attack +47
Fire
Musou Max +83
HP Max +81
Bow Defense +58
Musou Charge +24
Element attack on: SSSSST

Requirements: At Huang Zhong’s initial position, grab a horse and run down
the center of the map. You will get a message saying that the run

Hints: To what I remember, running down the side path does not trigger the
'The run down the hill is sucessful' message.

Basic Attack +47
Attack +29

Mounted Attack: +56
Mounted Defense: +57

Method: Meet with enemies on the 'chang ban bridge', 'ZHANG FEI yell' event,
defeat Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.
Comments: 'Serpent Blade' has HP boost, bow defence, musou charge and the
fire element. whereas 'Viper Blade' gives attack, defense and mounted
advantage. I prefer 'Serpent Blade' for the HP boost and musou charge.
ZHUGE LIANG:
– Griffin Feather (5th)
Basic Attack +40
Wind
Speed +22
HP Max+ 80
Attack +30
Luck +22
Reach +25

After you get 1000 kills, you will be called 'a hero of the three kingdoms',
all of your side morale will be full. The item will now appear.
!!But remember to keep SUN QUAN alive and safe.
----------------------------------------
– Peacock Feather (4th)
Basic Attack +40
Fire
Speed +22
Jump +22
Defense +55
Bow Defense +55
Mounted Defense +55
Elemental attack on: SSSST
Stage: The Battle At Wu Zhang Plains, Shu's side
Type: Precious item
Location: East end of ZHUGE LIANG's initial position
Method: Wait for the enemy backup troop to appear, defeat Cao Xiu.
Comments: 'Griffin Feather' is way easier to get then 'Peacock Feather'.
Just compare 'Wu Zhang Plains' to 'Chi Bi', you don't get rocks falling on
you at 'Chi Bi' and the soldiers u face aint tough. The difficulty just
makes your kill count go up faster only. 'Peacock Feather' is mainly pure
defence. Whereas 'Griffin Feather' gives HP boost, attack and reach. To me
'Griffin Feather' looks more attractive with more offence.
LIU BEI:
– Dragon Star (5th)
Basic Attack +40
Lightning
Speed +24
Musou +65
Defense +40
Mounted Attack +44
Arrows +27
Element attack on: SSSSTT

and rescue Ma Su.
Hints: Just dont bother about Ma Su's side until you see the 'Ma Su is being
surrounded' message, it will take about 2mins before that happens. Then go
to save Ma Su and kill Xing Pi.
----------------------------------------
– Gold Moon Dragon (4th)
Basic Attack +40
Speed +20
Musou Max +70
Mounted Attack +44
Mounted Defense +52
Luck +22
Stage: The Battle At Yi Ling, Shu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Inside SUN QUAN's camp.
Method: Defeat SUN SHANG XIANG.
Comments: The only difference: 'Dragon Star' = defense and lightning element,
'Gold Moon Dragon' = mounted defense. Credit goes to 'Dragon Star'

Lightning
Jump +21
Musou Max +87

Basic Attack +42
Fire
Jump +21

Mounted Defense: +60
Reach: +21
Elemental attack on: SSSSST
Stage: The Battle At Tong Gate, Shu's side
Type: Supply team
Location: Right side of the bridge on the north of the map
Direction: Toward north-east entry point
Method: CAO CAO meet Han Sui event, wait for Han Sui to defect.
Comments: I really got nothing to say on this. Both are useless enough. A
3rd weapon with good stats would be a better choice than these. My choice
between the two would be 'Steel Dragon'.
HUANG ZHONG:
– Mystic Blade (5th)
Basic Attack +44
Wind
Defense +52
Bow Attack +60
Reach +28
Arrow +47
Meat Bun Recovery +10

Basic Attack +44
Attack +23
Defense +45
Bow Attack: +60
Bow Defense: +58
Reach +26
Stage: The Battle At Mt.Ding Jun, Shu's side
Type: Precious item
Location: To the west of CAO CAO's initial position
Method: Run down the center route, defeat Xiahou Shang.
Comments: 'Mystic Blade' makes HUANG ZHONG into a greater archer thats all.
But still 'Oracle Sword' will be a better choice for its useful stats.
Needless to say, 'Oracle Sword' is better.
JIANG WEI:
– Starlight Pike (5th)
Basic Attack +41
Musou Max +79
Attack +21
Defense +58
Musou Charge +20
Defender
Stage: The Battle At Yi Ling, Shu's side
Location: North-west of the map. Near a boat.
Requirements: Wait for Wu fire attack to happen. !!!DO NOT kill Zhu Huan yet.
Liu Bei will escapes into the 'stone warrior formation'.
After the ambush party appears near the South-Western part of the map.
Defeat Zhu Huan.
Hints: Use the waiting time to kill LU MENG. If you are fast enough, go kill
the next nearest general. By then the fire attack event should be done.
----------------------------------------
– Blink (4th)
Basic Attack +41
Lightning
Musou Max +74
Attack: +23
Luck: +25
Elemental attack on: SSSSST
Stage: The Battle At Jie Ting, Shu's side.
Type: Supply team
Location: Entry point to the north-east of SIMA YI.
Direction: Toward northwest entry point.
Method: Defeat ZHEN JI and Cao Zhen.
Comments: At least there's improvement in 'Starlight Pike' over 'Blink',
such as defense and musou charge, though the element property was removed.
With little consideration, I prefer 'Starlight Pike'.
WEI YAN:
– Twin Stars (5th)
Basic Attack +46
Musou Max +82
HP Max +82
Reach +22
Musou Charge +20
Way of the Musou
Stage: The Battle At Yi Ling, Shu's side
Location: At the left of the enterance of the WU's base.
Requirements: Defeat every main general (The ones that u see in the unit
info list) and gate captain.
!!!You must personally deal the killing strike to each.
Hints: Allow the 'Wu Fire Attack' to happen, Liu Bei will go into the stone
warrior formation. He is safer there. At least better than near the center
of the map.
----------------------------------------
– Double Comet (4th)
Basic Attack +46
Death
Jump: +23
Attack: +24
Defense: +56
Reach: +22
Elemental attack on: SSSSTT, SSSSS(T)
Stage: The Battle At Jie Ting, Shu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: On top of the hill where Ma Su made camp
Method: Wait for Ma Su to move up the hill on his own, enemy to surprise
attack and surround Ma Su, Defeat the enemy general attacking Ma Su to
rescue him, then defeat all enemy generals except SIMA YI.
Enter SIMA YI's camp.
Comments: 'Double Comet' has attack, defense and the death element. whereas
'Twin Stars' has HP boost, musou charge and 'Way Of The Musou'. I guess
'Double Comet' will be the better choice for its death element and defence.
PANG TONG:

Defense +56
Bow Defense +50
Musou Charge +30
Charge +5

Stage: Assault On Cheng Du, Shu's side
Type: Precious item
Location: Northwest of map
Method: After 'PANG TONG surrounded by Zhang Ren' message, defeat Zhang Ren.
Comments: 'Lightning Staff' gives defense, bow defense and musou charge.
'Tornardo Staff' gives HP boost and reach. I prefer 'Lightning Staff' more
for its defenses and charges.
(Wei)-----------------------
----------------------------
XIAHOU DUN:
– Tempest Sword (5th)
Basic Attack +48
Wind
HP Max +82
Attack +28
Mounted Attack +55

Reach: +24
Elemental attack on: ST
Stage: Guan Yu's Escape, Wei's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Northeast corner of the fort Guan Ping is in
Method: Defeat Zhou Can, Chen Zhen, Guan Ping.
Comments: A hard choice. 'Tempest Sword' has HP boost and mounted attack,
while 'Kirin Fang' has bow defense and mounted defense. Since I dun use
horses for other than speed travelling *FEDEX LMAO* 'Tempest Sword' looks
more appealing.
DIAN WEI:
– Beast Axe (5th)
Basic Attack +49
HP Max +90
Attack +28
Defense +52
Bow Defense +50
Hex Mark Saddle
Stage: The Battle At He Fei, Wei's side
Location: North of where GAN NING appear from.
Requirements: Wait for the TAISHI CI's death event. Then defeat LU XUN.
Kill GAN NING.
Hints: GAN NING and his backup army will appear a little later in the game.
Just wait for him to appear. He will appear as a surprise attack.
----------------------------------------
– Mad Bull (4th)
Basic Attack +49
Lightning
HP Max: +84
Attack: +27
Musou Max +28
Elemental attack on: SSSSTT, SSSSST
Stage: The Battle At Wan Castle, Wei's side.
Type: Supply troop
Location: East of Hu Che Er's initial position
Direction: Toward entry point guarded by Jia Xu.
Method: Defeat Hu Che Er.
Comments: Definately 'Beast Axe' is better with defense and bow defense
replacing "attack +27" and "Musou Max +28". 'Hex Mark' isnt that bad, just
a little slower than 'Red Hare'. The loss of the lightning element is a
little sad.
XU ZHU:
– Earthly Mace (5th)
Basic Attack +50
Fire
Speed +24
HP Max +82
Defense +55
Bow Defense +50
Meat Bun Recovery +14

Stage: The Battle At Tong Gate, Wei's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Southeast of MA CHAO's fort
Method: Defeat Ma Dai and Pang De, then pass through the gate
of MA CHAO's fort.
Comments: Both 'Stone Crusher' and 'Earthly Mace' are very similar. I prefer
'Earthly Mace' simply because I hate the 'Musou Max +88' which is crap and
speed which XU ZHU desperate needed and also gets bow defense and the fire
element. The loss of attack and luck is of minimal concern.
CAO CAO:
– Blue Steel (5th)
Basic Attack +45
HP Max +86
Defense +51
Bow Defense +58
Reach +24
Musou Armor
Stage: The Battle At Mt. Ding Jun, Wei's side

Direction: Toward center North entry point
Method: Defeat Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang without killing any of the enemy
entry point captains and not losing any ally entry points.
Comments: 'Blue Steel' has HP boost, defense, bow defence and 'Musou Armor'.
Whereas 'Wrath Of Heaven' is all attack with the death element which makes it
the better weapon. But I would prefer 'Blue Steel'.
XIAHOU YUAN:
– Mystic Fang (5th)
Basic Attack: 45
Death
Attack +24
Bow Attack +58
Mounted Attack +58
Reach +21
Elemental attack on: SSSSST
Stage: The Battle At Tong Gate, Wei's side

Requirements: Let Han Sui meet Cao Cao. Then wait for him to defect.
Hints: Do not need to bother about who u kill, just leave Han Sui and
MA CHAO alive. Then sit back and wait for Han Sui to defect. It takes
time, so be patient.

Basic Attack +45
Fire
Musou Max +84
HP Max +78
Bow Attack: +58

Stage: The Battle At Mt.Ding Jun, Wei's side
Type: Precious item
Location: In the alcove west of HUANG ZHONG's initial position.
Method: After the 'Huang Zhong run down the hill' event, defeat HUANG ZHONG.
Comments: 'Mystic Fang' is all out offensive. 'Demon Fang' has HP boost and
bow defence. I choose 'Mystic Fang' for its death element.
ZHANG LIAO:
– Dragon God (5th)
Basic Attack +48
Fire
Attack +27
Bow Defense +53
Reach +25
Musou Charge +23

Mounted Attack: +58
Mounted Defense: +58
Reach: +21
Stage: The Battle At He Fei, Wei's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: To the north of the broken bridge
Method: Defeat Chow Tai.
Comments: Both 'Dragon God' and 'Dragon Breath' are equally matched.
'Dragon God' has bow defence, musou charge and the fire element, whereas
'Dragon Breath' has HP boost. I prefer 'Dragon God' as I found the bow
defence and musou charge more tempting.
SIMA YI:
– Raven Feather (5th)
Basic Attack +40
HP Max +71
Bow Defense +55
Reach +30
Musou Charge +25
Defender
Stage: The Siege Of He Fei Castle, Wei's side.

Hints: You have less than 9 minutes to complete these requirements. You have
to kill those 4 generals by 8'30'00 to be certain to get the item. Which
leaves you 2mins per general.

– Dark Feather (4th)
Basic Attack + 40
Lightning
Attack +28
Bow Attack +50
Mounted Attack +55
Reach +29
Musou Charge +26
Elemental attack on: SSST
Stage: The Battle At Wu Zhang Plains, Wei's side
Type: Supply team & precious item
Location: Entry point Southeast of Shu base
Method: Defeat Zhang Bao. 20 mins later, a supply team will appear around
near Zhang Bao's initial position, defeat the captain to receive a precious
item report.
Comments: This is possibily the hardest 5th weapon to get in DW3:XL.
!SERIOUSLY with such conditions, not many can make it at first try! I was
lucky to do so. 'Raven Feather' isnt worth of such a torture. I prefer
'Raven Feather' to 'Dark Feather'. Though 'Dark Feather' increase his offence
to decent level, but he is weak in life and defence right from the start.
XU HUANG:
– Tiger Fang (5th)
Basic Attack +46
Fire
Speed +23
HP Max +81

Reach +28
Elemental attack on: SSSSST

Requirements: Let Han Sui meet CAO CAO. Then wait for him to defect.
Hints: Do not need to bother about who u kill, just leave Han Sui and
MA CHAO alive. Then sit back and wait for Han Sui to defect. It takes
time, so be patient.

Luck +24
Reach +22
Stage: The Battle At Fan Castle, Wei's side
Type: Precious item
Location: Near the northeast edge of the ground level.
Method: Defeat Guan Ping before the flood event.
Comments: Obviously 'Tiger Fang' is better; with HP boost, defence
and the fire element. 'Marauder' only has speed, attack and reach.

HP Max +73
Bow Defense +58

'Phoenix Talon' that have HP boost and bow defence.

Elemental attack on: SSSSST
Stage: The Battle At Guan Du, Wei's side
Location: At the outside of the castle. North of the main castle gate.
Requirements: Burn down YUAN SHAO's supply depot.
!!!BUT it must be the last one you investigate.
Hints: You must find the 3 fake depots first, so save the game before you
enter any of the 4 camps. If the camp you enter is the real one, load game
and enter the other 3 camps first before entering the real one. To burn down
the supply depot, kill Chun Yuqiong.

Mounted Attack +50
Reach +25
Stage: The Battle At Jie Ting, Wei's side
Type: Precious item
Location: Near ZHUGE LIANG's camp.
Method: Defeat JIANG WEI.
Comments: Another difficult choice, because both are equally lousy. *LMAO*
'Dark Moon Flute' is better as it has defense which she needs more than attack.
(Wu)------------------------

Stage: The Battle At Chi Bi, Wu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Southwest of CAO CAO's initial position.
Method: Defeat XIAHOU DUN and ZHANG HE.
Comments: A very hard choice. Defence and musou charge or HP boost and speed.

Hints: The event will occur at around the 10 minutes mark. Kill off all the
enemy generals except SIMA YI, Zhou Fang, Cao Xiu and Zhang Pu or ZHANG HE.
I suggest that u kill ZHANG HE first. He is annoying.

Defense +43
Reach +29
Elemental attack on: SSST
Stage: The Battle At Yi Ling, Wu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Northeast of ZHUGE LIANG's 'stone warrior formation'
Method: With either LU MENG or GAN NING still alive, break through the
'stone warrior formation' and defeat ZHUGE LIANG.
Comments: Just because of LU XUN's death attack. I look pass that crappy
"Musou Max +75" and recognise that 'Falcon' is the better weapon. But I still
like 'Flash Blade' better because of the HP boost. Ironical... *Sighs...*
TAISHI CI:
– Tiger Wolf (5th)
Basic Attack +45
Speed +22
Defense +46
Bow Defense +55
Reach +26
Divine Helmet

Stage: Assault On The Wu Territory, Allied side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Area in front of the center north entry point
Method: Defeat all enemy generals except SUN CE.
Comments: 'Tiger Slayer' is all attack with the lightning element and HP
boost. 'Tiger Wolf' is solid defence with speed, reach and 'Divine Helmet'.
I choose 'Tiger wolf', seems what made the break was the 'Divine Helmet'.

Then go back to clear a way for one of your troops to enter the castle, when
they get near the west gate. The 'Wu army open all gates from inside' message

Type: Precious item
Location: To the right of the entrance of the path toward Lu Gong.
Method: Defeat Lu Gong.
Comments: Definately 'Savage Wolf', it has an element, HP and attack boost.
'Wolf Blade' seems stumped to me, the buckler doesnt make it much better.

Death
Musou Max +68

Mounted Attack +55

Stage: The Siege Of He Fei Castle, Wu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: To the east of the pond in the center of the castle.
Method: Defeat ZHANG HE.
Comments: 'Master Wolf' has bow defence and musou charge. "Heavenly Wolf" has
HP boost and the death element. I choose 'Heavenly Wolf' since his musou attack
isnt that great.
LU MENG:
– Fighting Tiger (5th)
Basic Attack +45

Attack +25
Mounted Attack +50
Reach +25
Musou Armor
Stage: The Siege Of He Fei Castle, Wu's side

Requirements: Defeat XU HUANG and ZHANG HE. Then set off the archer ambush.
Then defeat XU ZHU and Man Chong.
Hints: Go pass the Walls of arrows and Wind corridor. Go directly south to
kill XU HUANG and ZHANG HE. Then trigger the archer ambush event by walking
near the walkway across the center river. then defeat Xu Zhu and Man Chong
who arrives with Cao Rui as Wei's reinforcements. Try to defeat XU HUANG,
ZHANG HE, XU ZHU, set off the arrow trap before Wei's reinforcements arrive.

Elemental attack on: SSSSST
Stage: The battle At Fan Castle, Wu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: South-east of the Wei base, on a platform.
Method: Defeat Guan Ping.
Comments: Real hard choice. 'White Tiger' has all defences, musou charge and
the lightning element. 'Fighting Tiger' has 'Musou Armor', HP boost, attack
and reach. *brain cells exhausted* Verdict: I GIVE UP!! ITS A TIE. *SIGHS*
GAN NING:
– Seven Seas Blade (5th)

Wind
Speed +24

Stage: The Battle At He Fei, Wu's side.
Type: Supply team
Location: Entry point north-west of map
Direction: Toward entry point south-west of map
Method: Wait for TAISHI CI's death event.
Comments: Tough choice. 'Seven Seas Blade' has defence and reach, while
'Sea Master' has musou charge. Because of GAN NING destructive musou attacks
*Laugh out loud* I prefer 'Sea Master'.

Mounted Attack +50

Stage: The Battle At Chi Bi, Wu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: To the north of ZHUGE LIANG's prayer structure.
Method: Defeat ZHANG LIAO.
Comments: 'Black Shadow' is way better. It has HP boost, defence and musou
charge. 'Spiked Mace' is kinda stumped, you don't get much out of it.

Lightning
Speed +22
Bow Defense +50
Reach +30

Elemental attack on: SSSSTT, SSSSS(T)
Stage: Assault On The Wu Territory, Wu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Southwest of TAISHI CI.
Method: Defeat Liu Yong. TAISHI CI will defect.
Comments: Easy choice. 'God Of War' is better. Though it missed the HP boost,
it has bow defence and musou charge.
DA QIAO:
– Yellow Beauty (5th)
Basic Attack +37
Fire
HP Max +65
Attack +26
Reach +22
Meat Bun Recovery +10
Elemental attack on: SSST

Stage: The Battle At You Ting, Wu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Dead end to the west of the north-west entry point
Method: Defeat ZHANG HE.
Note: This one cannot be obtained in Musou Mode
Comments: 'Yellow Beauty' has useful stats and fire element. 'True Beauty'
only has "Defence +48". I prefer 'Blue Beauty', in favor of the element.

Musou Max +85
Attack +28
Bow Defense +54
Reach +22
Survival Guide

Elemental attack on: SSSSS(T)
Stage: The Nanman Campaign, Shu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: To the east of the bridge at the north-west of map.
Method: Defeat ZHU RONG.
Comments: Definately 'Blue Grace' is better. The death element, speed and
defence. The only things useful in 'True Grace' is the bow defence and reach.
There no comparison, 'Blue Grace' is undoubtly better.
(Unaligned/Other)(All 5th are on XTREME mode unless otherwise stated)
----------------------------
DIAO CHAN:
– Imperial Mace (5th)
Basic Attack +40
Fire
Jump +21
HP Max +72
Attack +25
Reach +30
Musou Charge +10
Elemental attack on: SSST
Stage: Diao Chan’s Escape, Diao Chan’s side
Location: Dropped by LU BU.
Requirements: Defeat LU BU.
Hints: LU BU IS STRONG! Luckily you are faster. LU BU will appear later in
the game. The battle with him is UNAVOIDABLE. You have to defeat him for the
last gate to open. A very simple requirement, but tough to fufill.
----------------------------------------
– Gold Globe (4th)
Basic Attack +40
Musou Max +65
Defense +48
Luck +30
Reach +28
Musou Charge +30
Stage: The Battle At Hu Lao Gate, Dong Zhuo's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: West of su shui gate.
Method: Defeat Yuan Shu.
Comments: 'Imperial Mace' is more offensive while 'Gold Globe' is defensive.
I prefer 'Imperial Mace', though "Defence +48" is better than "HP Max +72",
but the "Musou Max +65" dulls everything, at the same time all the stats of
'Imperial Mace' are of use.
LU BU:
– Demon Slayer (5th)
Basic Attack +50
Fire
Musou Max +90
HP Max +90
Attack +30
Reach +30
Red Hare Saddle
Elemental attack on: ST, SSST, SSSSS(T)
Stage: The battle At Chi Bi, Lu Bu's side.
Location: At south-west corner of the map. In the prayer area.
Requirements: Wait for LU MENG, TAISHI CI, HUANG GAI, GAN NING to appear.
Kill them all.
Hints: The WU forces appear at the 10 minutes mark. Be near DIAO CHAN by then
or else LU MENG is very likely to kill DIAO CHAN in mere minutes. Kill LU MENG
first, then kill TAISHI CI and HUANG GAI as they will soon come towards you.
GAN NING is the last one to get to you. Kill him when you finish off the other
3 Wu generals. Read the part in the "Strategies" section on GAN NING.
----------------------------------------
– Sky Scorcher (4th)
Basic Attack: +50
Lightning
Jump +24
Musou Max +90
HP Max +90
Attack +30
Defense +60
Elemental attack on: SSST, SSSST, SSSSS(T)
Stage: The Battle At Hu Lao Gate, Dong Zhuo's side.
Type: Supply team
Location: Below the entry point at the north-east of map.
Direction: Toward entry point behind CAO CAO's initial position.
Method: Defeat ZHANG FEI, GUAN YU, LIU BEI.
Comments: I DEFINATELY prefer 'Sky Scorcher' to 'Demon Slayer'. I choose the
defence boost rather than reach boost or 'red hare saddle'. The reach of
LU BU's weapons is long enough. Further more, 'Red Hare' isnt as good as it
once was. I still think the "Musou Max +90" is the useless stat, should have
been replaced, rather than the "Defence +60". How I wished 'Demon Slayer' had
defence instead of musou max.
DONG ZHUO:
– Black Steel (5th)
Basic Attack +41
Death
Musou Max +74
Defense +45
Mounted Defense +53
Reach +29
Arrows +30
Elemental attack on: SSST
Stage: The Battle At Wu Zhang Plains, Dong Zhuo’s side.
Location: Near the center of the map, at the right wing of the ally fort.
Requirements: Defeat PANG TONG before the catapult attack event happens. It
is ok for the loading catapult event to happen. Fan Chou must survive
until reinforcement troops arrive.
Hints: If Fan Chou dies, GUAN YU will appear instead of reinforcement troops.
So don't let it happen. PANG TONG is the cause of the catapult events, so kill
him as soon as possible. PANG TONG is at north-east part of the map, on a hill.
----------------------------------------
– Grand Star (4th)
Basic Attack +41
Lightning
HP Max + 70
Defense +45
Reach +25
Elemental attack on: SSSSTT
Stage: The Battle At Hu Lao Gate, Dong Zhuo's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: The entry point at west of map
Method: Wait until all your generals are defeated except for LU BU and DIAO
CHAN. DIAO CHAN will defect to the allied troop side, defeat DIAO CHAN.
Comments: I definately prefer 'Grand Star'. The only good in 'Black Steel'
is the death element, defence and reach. The arrows and mounted defence are
kinda extra, where as the "Musou Max +74" is a waste. The thing missing in
both weapons is a speed boost. DONG ZHUO needs speed.
YUAN SHAO:
– Imperial Saber (5th)
Basic Attack + 44
Fire
Speed +21
Attack +27
Defense +54
Bow Defense +49
Elemental attack on: SSSST, SSSSST
Stage: The battle At Hu Lao Gate, Allied side
Location: Near the north-west corner of the map, by the gates.
Requirements: LU BU, CAO CAO, SUN JIAN and LIU BEI must be alive.
Defeat DIAO CHAN before DONG ZHUO’s backup forces arrive.
Hints: you don't have much to fear. Just don't run into LU BU. Run down all
the way. Defeat Diao Chan.
----------------------------------------
– Grand Master (4th)
Basic Attack: +44
Jump: +20
Musou Max: +78
Defense: +54
Bow Attack: +51
Mounted Attack: +46
Stage: The Battle At Guan Du, Yuan Shao's side.
Type: Supply team
Location: North of the south-east fort
Direction: Toward south-east entry point
Method: Keep Wen Chou alive for 10 minutes.
Comments: Definately 'Imperial Saber'. 'Grand Master' has nothing of value
except defence and bow attack. 'Imperial Saber' made him more durable and
faster with the addition of an element.
ZHANG JIAO:
– Thunder Staff (5th)
Basic Attack +37
Lightning
HP Max +68
Defense +43
Mounted Defense +55
Luck +18
Meat Bun Recovery +13
Elemental attack on: SSST, SSSSST, Musou
Stage: The Nanman Campaign, Yellow Turban side.</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
Location: On the path leading to the left forest area
Requirements: Allow all of the 4 Peasant units to escape safely.
Hints: Be ahead of all your peasant units and clear the path for them AT ALL
TIMES. Killing off the generals and some of the troops will be enough. NEVER
let any of your peasant units to be under attack for more than 2 minutes, so
as to be certain that all your peasant units will have enough peanuts spare
to reach the escape point at the south of the map.
----------------------------------------
– Volcano Staff (4th)
Basic Attack: +37
Fire
Musou Max: +72
Attack: +43
Reach: +27
Elemental attack on: SSSST
Stage: The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yellow Turban side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Southeast of the river north of map
Method: Defeat either; Shu forces or Wei Forces or Wu forces
Shu forces(3) - LIU BEI, GUAN YU, ZHANG FEI
Wei forces(5) - CAO CAO, XIAHOU DUN, XIAHOU YUAN, Cao Ren, Cao Hong
Wu forces(4) - SUN JIAN, HUANG GAI, Han Dang, Cheng Pu
Comments: ZHANG JIAO is originally low on the defence side. 'Volcano Staff'
may have attack and reach, but the "Musou Max +72" cuts down on your frequency
of musou attacks. 'Thunder Staff' toughen him with defence and HP boost and
the "Meat Bun Recovery +13" is good to have.
MENG HUO:
– Shadow Beast (5th)
Basic Attack +48
Lightning
Speed +24
Attack +30
Mounted Attack +54
Luck +13
Charge +8
Elemental attack on: SSST
Stage: Assault On The Wu's Territory, Nanman side
Location: Near MENG HUO's initial position.
Requirements: Defeat in this order; LU XUN, TAISHI CI, GAN NING, LU MENG.
Hints: LU XUN has the death element. GAN NING has a dangerous musou attack.
Read the part in the "Strategies" section on GAN NING and death element.
Time is not a problem here. You yourself is the loss condition *Laughs*
----------------------------------------
– King Of Beasts (4th)
Basic Attack: +48
Fire
HP Max: +88
Attack: +27
Mounted Attack: +54
Mounted Defense: +54
Elemental attack on: SSSSST
Stage: The Nanman Campaign, Nanman side.
Type: Precious item
Location: West of the blocking mountain at the center of the map
Method: Defeat all enemy generals on the east side or west side.
East side - MA CHAO, Zhang Yi, Ma Dai.
West side - ZHANG FEI, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing.
Comments: A hard choice, 'King Of Beasts' has "HP MAX +88" while 'Shadow Beast'
has "Speed +24" MENG HUO is desperately in need of speed, whereas extra life
never hurts. I hate his slowness enough to forgo the benefits of havng extra
life, so I choose 'Shadow Beast'
ZHU RONG:
– Tri Blade (5th)
Basic Attack +42
Wind
HP Max +78
Attack +25
Reach +26
Arrows +47
Elemental attack on: SSSSST
Stage: The Siege Of He Fei Castle, Zhu Rong's side
Location: In the area south of the 'wind corridor'.
Requirements: Defeat ZHOU YU, XIAO QIAO, Cao Pi, ZHEN JI amd DIAO CHAN.
Hints: Zhou Yu is nearest to you, so go kill him first. XIAO QIAO and DIAO
CHAN is very near each other, both are fast and XIAO QIAO has the death
element on her 4th, so NEVER fight them at the same time. To make matters
worse, when enough time passes, LU BU will be near DIAO CHAN and XIAO QIAO.
Fighting them 3 at the same time is equal to near sucidal. ZHEN JI just
block too often, otherwise she is a breeze. Cao Pi is peanuts.
----------------------------------------
– Magma Wheel (4th)
Basic Attack +42
Fire
Musou Max: +72
Defense: +52
Bow Defense: +52
Reach: +26
Elemental attack on: SSST, SSSSTT
Stage: The Nanman Campaign, Nanman side.
Type: Precious item
Location: Near the bridge at the center of map.
Method: Keep Dong Tu Na and A Huei Nan alive for 15 minutes, the two of them
will meet and trigger the escape from battlefield event.
Comments: A very hard choice. 'Magma Wheel' has the benefit of solid defence
and extra reach with the crap of a "Musou Max +72". While 'Tri Blade' has
the benefit of more life and attack. I prefer to suffer the crap of
"Musou Max +72" for the solid defence.
FU XI:
– Dragon Slayer (5th)
Basic Attack +46
Musou Max +86
HP Max +80
Reach +28
Charge +8
Art of War
Stage: ORIGINAL, The Battle At Wan Castle, Zhang Xiu’s side
Location: Near FU XI's initial position.
Requirements: Defeat DIAN WEI, XU HUANG and XU ZHU.
Hints: XU ZHU is slow, blocks a lot, has a heavy attack and steady defence.
Its easier to hit him from behind.
----------------------------------------
– Fu Xi's Sword (4th)
Basic Attack +46
Fire
Attack: +26
Defense: +51
Reach: +23
Musou Charge +24
Elemental attack on: SSSSTT, SSSSS(T)
Stage: Surprise Attack on Liu Biao, Liu Biao's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: The dead end at the north-west corner of the beach.
Method: Defeat HUANG GAI.
Comments: Speed is still missing. 'Dragon Slayer' has more life, but without
a decent musou charge boost, the "Musou Max +86" is causing you a burden by
making it harder to cancel enemy attacks with musou moves. Since 'Dragon Slayer'
doesnt have speed, 'Fu Xi's Sword' will be a better choice.
NU WA:
– Dragon Rapier (5th)
Basic Attack +39
Attack +23
Defense +41
Reach +30
Musou Charge +20
Defender
Stage: ORIGINAL, The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yellow Turban side.
Location: At the south-west area of the castle.
Requirements: Zhang Bao must be alive. Defeat GUAN YU, ZHANG FEI, LIU BEI.
!DO NOT defeat LIU BEI first, else GUAN YU and ZHANG FEI will escape.
Wait for Zhang Bao to do his stone attack event.
Hints: Just run down south from your initial position. You will meet LIU BEI
and GUAN YU, kill GUAN YU. Then run further south, you will see ZHANG FEI,
kill him and go back up north and take out LIU BEI.
----------------------------------------
– Nu Wa's Rapier (4th)
Basic Attack +39
Death
Musou Max +62
HP Max: +62
Attack: +21
Defense: +46
Elemental attack on: SSSSS(T)
Stage: The Battle At Wan Castle, Zhang Xiu's side.
Type: Precious item
Location: North of DIAN WEI's initial location
Method: Defeat DIAN WEI.
Comments: Tough choice. 'Nu Wa's Rapier' has more HP and death element.
'Dragon Rapier' has reach and musou charge. Since her death element misses
frequently, I prefer 'Dragon Rapier' for the reach and musou charge.

----------------------------
(Speed Demon:)
(Gives: Beast Harness - Shows the position of the last horse you rode.)
Preferable ZHOU YU or LU XUN.
Any fast character will also be fine.
Part1> Steal "Red Hare" from LU BU and mount it and run off by 12sec
Take left path.
Keep on the right side till u pass the 1 archer group.
After that always keep left till u pass all the archer groups.
Cut to the right juz when u are abt to meet YUAN SHAO group.
Do it in under 1mins02sec. Don't get knocked off "Red Hare"
Part2> Take center path.
start by moving to the right side, cut to the left or right to avoid all the
spear barriers. U will need a little practice at timing to avoid the first
volley of arrows. TRY your BEST not to get knocked off "Red Hare".
Rush your way pass the finish line.
Do it under 1min30sec in total.
------------------------------
(Balancing Act:)
(Gives: Master’s Cloak - Automatically perform the mid-air evade and land
on your feet)
Simpily use LU BU, His 'T' attack will easily get u pass
the 100 mark.
------------------------------
(Combo Mania:)
(Gives: Seven Stars Blade - Makes it easier to receive high scores on your
combos by extending the time for the combo points to disappear.)
Suggest= ZHOU YU
Don't really need to use 'SST' attack (only abt 10pts diff)
By the way, 'SSSSTT__S'(30pts+)brings in more pts than 'SSSSSTT' (26pts+)
Attack 1(46pts to 80pts):
SSSTT ( do 1 or 2 flying slash NOT more)
-> SST (Not really required, may omit)
-> SSSSTT__S (missing the 2nd jump slash is ok)(42pts~60pts till here)
-> Musou (If possible)
Attack2(50pts to 72pts):
SSSTT ( do 1 or 2 flying slash NOT more)
-> SST (Not really required, may omit)
-> SSSSST (do not wait for the projectile slash)
-> Musou (DO before the slash projectile of the 'SSSSST')
* !LAST THING! DO NOT RUSH DOING COMBOS, Its very likely that u will juz
waste time gaining no extra points.
WAIT TILL THE POINTS DISPLAY DISAPPEAR BEFORE STARTING A NEW COMBO.
Getting pass 1000pts is easy, juz rake:
>400pts in 1st min /// >750pts by 2nd min /// >1000pts by end.
------------------------------
(Ironman:)
(Gives: BG Healing Scroll)
Suggested> ZHOU YU
<Speed Demon> Clear it in under 1min28sec
(1'30'00 will give u 100pts, 1'26'65 gives ~142pts)
DONT get knocked off "Red Hare".
REPLAY IF U DON'T GET >100pts for this stage.
<Balancing Act>(1 person = 1pt)
Knock off at least 70 persons. (juz to be safe)
TRY to get more than 50pts for this stage.
<Combo Mania>
ZHOU YU's favourite stage, LoL.
Nuff said. (=^_^=)
Get more than 900 combo points. (~180pts)
1000 combo points = ~200pts
------------------------------

(Bodyguards:)
_____________
(Normal Bodyguards:)---------
-----------------------------
Hints: Set the growth to 'Custom' so that you can choose how to distribute
the points. It takes a little trial and error to find out the best
combination that suits your style of play.
The 'BG Healing Scroll' can only be obtained thru 'Ironman' in the
Challenge mode.
The 'Nanman male outfit' is unlocked by clearing MENG HUO's Musou Mode.
The 'Nanman female outfit' is unlocked by clearing ZHU RONG's Musou Mode.
The 'Pink uniform color' is unlocked by clearing DIAO CHAN's Musou Mode.
The 'Yellow uniform color' is unlocked by clearing ZHANG JIAO's Musou Mode.
The 'Black uniform color' is unlocked by clearing DONG ZHUO's Musou Mode.
The 'White uniform color' is unlocked by clearing the special 'Chi Bi' Stage.
The 'BG Wind Scroll' is a rare item. I havent seen more than 2 occurance
so far. It a good item, but the item slot is reserved for better items such
as 'BG Tortoise Amulet', 'BG Tiger Amulet' or 'BG Peacock Urn'.
Bodyguard Advancements List:
Experience Advancement
25000 Increase to 4 bodyguards
30000 "Fighter" Title
50000 Increase to 6 bodyguards
60000 "Warrior" Title
75000 Increase to 8 bodyguards
90000 "Elite" Title
You will get a total of 25 points to distribute. Use them wisely. Increasing
the rank of your bodyguards is a MUST!!. So u are left with 22 points.
(Warrior Bodyguard:)---------
-----------------------------
Warrior bodyguard just give you an extra character that is controlled by the
CPU. It function on an AI basis, you do not get to give commands to it.
He/She does not follow you closely. You will not be able to play 2 players
with this choice. The only benefit you get from it that the normal bodyguards
cannot give is the 'double musou attack'. U do not get to equipt any weapon
or items on him/her. When he/she dies, thats that, no more bodyguard. Trust
me, he/she will die real fast on 'Hard' or 'Very Hard' difficulty.
(The verdict:)---------------
-----------------------------
Warrior Bodyguard: This is just for fun. NO REAL USE. Don't provide any
substancial help at all.
Normal Bodyguards: The support team, at least this bunch of fries last way
longer and does more carnage/damage than a 'Warrior Bodyguard'. They
will work under all situations.
Minimal Specs to be able to last thru 1 stage >
On 'Novice' & 'Easy': 4 bodyguards, Rank = Guard, EXP=25000.
On 'Normal': 4 bodyguards, Rank = Guard, Title = Fighter, EXP=35000
On 'Hard': 6 bodyguards, Rank = Guard, Title = Warrior, EXP=60000
On 'Very Hard': 8 bodyguards, Rank = Guard, Title = Elite
Definately, 'Normal Bodyguards' is the better choice. At the very least, you
have a use for them and they are more efficient than a CPU controlled
character that is as weak as paper. *Laughs*
