1) Version History
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1.1 - 11th March 2004 - Added neoseeker.com to the list,
1.0 - 8th March 2004 - Started writing this FAQ. Will get as much detail down
as possible.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2) Zhang Jiaos Background
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is the in-game bio for Zhang Jiao
"A former government official of the Ju Lu Territory. He spread his teachings
as the founder of the religious sect known as the Way of Peace. He used the
turmoil of the land to gather the support of the people. With these supporters
he formed the group known as the Yellow Turbans. Declaring himself the "General
of Heaven", he turned against the Han Dynasty, leading the Yellow Turban
Rebellion."

3) Unlocking
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In DW4 he was my last character to unlock. You have to open the Yellow Turban
Musou Mode. How? Beat the other campaigns... Wu, Shu, Wei, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo,
Nanman and Yuan Shao.
In DW4:XL he is already unlocked, so no worries there.

4) Moveset
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In case you hadn't noticed, Zhang Jiao and his moveset are based around the
fire element. Zhang Jiao's moveset is... well, it's a little unorthodox. OK,
its freaky but it gets the job done in the right hands.
S: 360 degree spin twirling staff as he goes.
SS: After first 180 degrees of S he jabs his staff backwards into the enemy.
SSS: Turns back around and brings staff up with him.
SSSS: Overhead crush, direct hit on one enemy.
SSSSS: Identical to ^^^
SSSSSS: Angled swipe from top-left to bottom right.
As it goes, Zhang Jiao's basic combo is not an effective clearer. Quite good
for hitting single enemies though.
T: Thrusts staff in front. Unblockable. Heavy Charge up time. Levitates enemy
then throws them away.
ST: With back turned reaches behind him and launches into the air. Avoid!!
SST (TTT): Heh heh. One of the freakier moves to watch, but nonetheless,
moderately useful. Only hits in front leaving back vulnerable. Ends in
Shockwave
SSST: Burn baby Burn! Spews fire from staff hitting a 180 degree radius with
serious knockback. Useful, my favourite move.
SSSST (T): Grasps staff in both hands and thrusts upwards. Follow up with a
slash downwards.
SSSSST (T): 4 mini-fireballs. Useful at mid-range but I do not like this move.
O: Its like a C6 followed by a C4. Spits lots of fireballs finishing with a
nice round of fire. Use in short bursts for the fire wave.
O (while critical): Same as normal with an extra round of fire.
R3: Announce - Moderately useful, Stuns all enemies in a radius. "Feel the
Wrath of the Heaveeens!"
Horse: Bog standard, left-right slashes.. *yawn*
X + S: Throws staff downwards. OK, but don't rely on it.
X + T: Flips and on landing creates a forcefield around himself damaging
enemies in a radius.
Counter: The T from ST

5) Legend Stage
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Yellow Turbans Last Stand.
I like this legend. No special rules and a few enemies to fight. Quite simple
really.
Objective: Seal all strongholds and defeat all officers.
I recommend killing officers first as they will re-open strongholds while they
are alive.
Your opponents will be:
Zhang Fei Huang Gai
Xiahou Dun Liu Bei
Cao Cao Sun Jian
Depending on how fast you work you may never see some of the later generals.
This stage is extremely simple. You shouldn't have any trouble whatsoever.
Something you might pickup on is that when a Soldier yells something like
"We should seal all the enemy strongholds first" it actually says 'Strondholds'
Silly KOEI.

6) 10th Level Weapon
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
REQUIREMENTS: Current Weap Lev = 9
Difficulty set to Hard or Expert.
Good Stats of course!
Volcano Staff
Level 10
Atk + 52
Carries orb effects constantly
On DW4 you must defeat many generals while keeping Zhang Bao & Liang alive.
Therefore you must defeat
Huangfu Song
Zhu Jun
Gongsun Zan --> Zhao Yun
Liu Bei --> Guna Yu
Sun Jian --> Huang Gai
Cao Cao --> Xiahou Dun --> Xiahou Yuan
and then finally He Jin
After this, Dong Zhuo should appear, defeat Hua Xiong and the Volcano Staff is
yours.
To earn in DW4:XL isn't difficult either. You must achieve a KO count of 100
before 4 minutes 30 seconds have elapsed. Just head near a gate and just kill
everything that comes out of it. Not too difficult.

7) 11th Level Weapon
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
REQUIREMENTS: Current Weapon Lev = 10
Dificulty set to Expert.
Preferably MAX stats.
Peace Staff
Atk + 60
Items
Peacock Urn 15
Speed Scroll 17
Nanman Armour 10
Seven Star Sash 20
*More data will be added when I finally get round to obtaining his 11th. I
have been really busy these past few days, what with exam prep and all. So
if anyone would like to email me any info about this, credit and many thanks
will be granted.*
Wooohooooo many thanks go out to Lord Cronos who wrote to me and I
have been meaning to add his data for a while. This is what he said:
"Okay I noticed that I got the weapon around eight minutes in the stage
also I only got it when I had 100 K.O.s and had only one officer and
gate captain left. So I think that you need 100 K.O.s and have at
least one officer and gate captain left."
So basically:
8 minutes elapsed
100 K.O.s obtained
MUST HAVE 1 officer and gate captain left.
Thanks Lord Cronos

8) Orbs
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Orbs, these are one of the biggest pains in the ass to get, yet they are so
useful in surviving against the masses.
Fire: Since Zhang Jiao is aligned with fire, I don't really see the point in
using this orb. You may, if only for boosting his C5.
Lightning: As you may or may not know, I do not like lightning. Many people
worship this orb, I hate it. Since his C4 carries the lightning effect it would
do wonders for his crowd clearing ability. Your choice.
Ice: Freeze entire crowds. Combo with musou for nice results.
Poison: I find Zhang Jiao to be one of the only characters that poison can
ALMOST carry off on, as you can poison entire crowds. Only workable with a
Poison 4 though.
Blast: Could be useful, your choice though.
Vorpal: Now we're talking. With a good level orb you can smoke entire crowds
with C4. Nuff said.

9) Equipment
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Before we start,
THIS IS NOT A BE ALL AND END ALL SETUP.
THIS IS NOT A BE ALL AND END ALL SETUP.
THIS IS NOT A BE ALL AND END ALL SETUP.
Understand? Do NOT email me saying "1 t41nk ur 3q1p suxxxxors!!!!1111!!11!"
as it will be filed under B. For bin. This is my personal choice.
Saddle: Shadow Runner. Gets you where you want to be without the worry of
eating dirt.
Orb: Unless you didn't read Ch. 8 you will know that I am impartial to Vorpal.
Peacock Urn
Tortoise Amulet
Tiger Amulet
These three are essentials on any character if you ask me.
Wind Scroll - Allows you to hot a lot more. Doesn't extend range on C4 though,
shame really.
The final slot can go to a variety of items depending on the situation.
Master of Musou, Meat Bun Sack or Way of Musou are quite useful additions.
After you have the Peace Staff you can remove the Peacock Urn and add one of
the above items.
