Introduction - Welcome to Dynasty Warriors 5®
__________________________________________________________________
"My Kingdom. My Life."
"The place is the vast lands of China. The time is the turn of the 2nd
Century. This is the story of the Three Kingdoms, which has been passed
down for generations. A story of Peace, and Chaos. Prosperity, and
Decline. A story of brave Heroes, and Treacherous Villains. Witness the
tales of these warriors, for the stories of yesterday are the history of
tomorrow."
Welcome all new players, both to the series and to the game itself. If
you're new to the series, the main menu can be quite intimidating, I know
it was to me when I first got DW4 (good game I recommend this as well for
new players.) This game, although not all too different from those in
the past, brings in a lot of new elements from Koei. New characters,
which is brought into almost all of their newest games, new arsenal of
weapons, new attacks, longer attacks, stronger attacks, redesigned levels
and battlefields, unique storylines for each character as well as new
items, bodyguard system and much more.
I would also like to take this moment to show a legend for later in the
game:
S (S1 - S6) are Square attacks
Charge is Triangle
True Musou is the stronger Musou, (Musou used with bodyguard, Item, Musou
Rage or Almost dead.
Note: All Walkthroughs for Musou Modes, unless otherwise stated, were
completed in Normal difficulty. All Fourth weapons were attained in Free
mode.

Initial Characters- Who's Who and What Do They Do?
__________________________________________________________________
The game starts off with 18 warriors to choose from, 6 in all Wu, Shu and
Wei. There are no officers in unaligned forces, they all must be
unlocked. Each includes 5 warriors from games past, and one new officer
to play as. All officers' weapons start with 4 consecutive attacks.
-------------------------------------------------
Wu - "Warriors who fought for family..."
"Blessed with rich and fertile lands, the Kingdom of Wu strives to bring
peace to the chaotic land. Descendants of the legendary strategist Sun
Tzu (historically impossible to prove though) the strength of their
family bond remains strong in the face of adversity. Will this family of
warriors from Jiang Dong be able to realize their burning ambition? Only
time will tell."
------------------------------
-Zhou Yu
------------------------------
Brilliant strategist, responsible for Chi Bi, and skilled in literature
and music. Has been friends with Sun Ce since he was a young, and
sometimes becomes frustrated and loses his cool.
Musou Mode:
First battle - Battle of Si Shui Gate - I don't recommend doing Zhou Yu
first, especially if you're new to the Dynasty Warriors Series, Lu Bu is
here, and boy is he pissed. But, if your stubborn like me, and want to
do it, I recommend a good bodyguard, one with the slightly higher attack
power, and a close range weapon. Knock Lu Bu down, get behind him and
when he stands up, hack away. Kill as many troops as possible, as
always, and when fighting Lu Bu, if your Health gets dangerously low,
run, there is a pot to the left of the gate with a full heal, but don't
stay away too long, or those bastards you call allies will take your
kill.
Second Battle - Battle of Jing Province - You start off just below the
center, in the main base, Soon a cut scene will show, even if you know
the history here, it cannot be prevented, I tried. Go in the center,
take out the base, kill all who get in your way. This map is easy, no
way to really die, if you get close to Sun Ce, another cut scene will
show. Just kill here, try to get as many kills as you can, it's a fun
map.
Third Battle - Battle of the Wu Territory - You start the battle with a
cut scene, then you start to kick some ass. There is a set of two
crates, (weapon and item) in front of you, grab them. Kill enemies, and
defeat the officer guarding the gate, kill the officer controlling the
fort in front of you, and rush off to kill Yan Baihu. When that's done,
Sun Quan should be asking for help, go kill all officers and units inside
the base he was ambushed in. Then go kill Taishi Ci. This map is also
easy, kill as many as possible.
Fourth Battle - Battle of Xia Kou - Payback on Huang Zu. The battle
starts with a cut scene, once again obsessing over Sun Ce's death. You
start off by killing anyone in front of you, rush through enemy lines.
Kill off officers, then go after Cai Mao, take him out to prevent ships
from sailing. Then fight your way out of that area, Xiao Qiao should be
following you this mission, she'll keep saying stuff like "your so
awesome!" its very annoying. Attack your way through; kill Gan Ning,
yadda yadda. You can also get a high number of kills here.
Fifth Battle - Battle of Chi Bi - really no strategy here, just kill.
When someone needs help, go save him or her. Get a lot of kills. Fight
all officers, and clear the two bridges.

all around him.
Starting Weapon - Bronze Sword - 3 power
2nd Weapon - Iron Sword - 7 power
3rd Weapon - Elder Sword - 11 power
4th Weapon - Ancients Sword - 34 power -
(17 charge, 16 bow, 15 defense, 16 attack, 18 Musou)
How to Get 4th weapon: (Battle for Wu Territory) extremely easy, just
kill Wang Yan Baihu and Wang Lang, thus taking the fortresses. When
you're done, a note saying "Valuable Item Discovered" will appear. The
weapon is just atop the stairs of the wall on the fortress at the bottom,
by the checkpoint inside the castle, to the left.
------------------------------
-Lu Xun
------------------------------
- Another brilliant mind of Wu, his strategy brought the initial downfall
of Shu, and was revered by many, including Zhou Yu and Lu Meng. Started
in the military at a young age, seeks for a land under a single rule.
Musou:
The Invasion of Nan Zhong – Charge forward, taking out the enemy attack
base. When that's done, had after Jinhuan Sanjie's sub generals, Ahui
Nan and Dong Tu Na. Then, charge Zhu Rong and Jinhuan Sanjie in the
bottom. Take Zhu Rong's elephant, and march north, through the defense
base, and take over the neutral attack base in the north. When that's
done, march back south, and take over the attack base, next to where you
killed Zhu Rong and Jinhuan. When that's done, march forward, triggering
Meng Huo's "the moron fell for it!" decree. Kill Meng You, then Rush
back to the allied main base, and destroy the beast masters, which
appeared where the barricades next to the base once were. When that's
done, rush through the enemy camp, past Meng Huo, and kill King Duosi,
and the two bases you come across in their camp. Take out any gate, and
enemy you come across as well. When that's done, then go after Meng Huo.
Battle of Fan Castle – Head forward, and take the supply base ahead of
you. When that's done, head past to the second supply base, killing Liao
Hua on the way. Destroy the gate to the east of the second supply base,
and move west, killing the defense base, and Guan Xing. Move down, back
to the main camp (taking down Guan Suo on the way), then clear out the
designated gate, to allow Wei reinforcements to come. Then head west,
destroy the defense base, and assault Fu Shi Ren and Mi Fang. When Meng
Da arrives, kill him and Liu Feng as well. Mi Fang should have defected
to your side by now, so head up and kill Guan Ping, AND THOSE ANNOYING
ARCHERS. Zhang Fei shows up, you know what to do, and if you even think
of saying you don't, I will spend all my money just to hunt you down and
beat you senseless. (P.S. don't forget his Sub-general, Zhang Bao.) Now,
take out the last defense base in the middle, head for Zhou Cang, Ma
Liang and the other three bases on the top left. Then head for Fan
Castle, where Guan Yu should have already rushed. Slay him, and congrats
you win.
Battle of Yi Ling – Charge forward to the supply base ahead of you, and
just have fun killing until Zhu Ran is ready to initiate the fire attack.
When Wu Lan, Guan Suo, Ma Dai, Guan Xing and Li Yan get in your way, slay
them. The death of Li Yan will trigger Liao Hua to attack you, take him
out as well. Hurry up to Zhu Ran when the bridge layers activate, to
protect him, and make sure the fire attack is carried out. Keep
fighting, and charge through the maze, (cut scene triggers) and seek out
Liu Bei's main base. Now, you can do one of two things, just kill Liu
and get it over with, or have fun and slay the rest of the officers and
troops on the screen. I choose, and recommend the latter, as because
Zhuge Liang is a major pain in the ass. Have fun.
(Note: easy way through the maze, follow the enemy troops, if you keep
running into fresh troops, your doing good.)
Battle of He Fei Castle – Head forward, and attack the gate captain,
opening He Fei's west gate. Head inside (if you have a bodyguard,
instruct him to stay right now), around the castle to behind the inner
front gate. Kill any officer (Cao Xiu, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Hui and Cao
Zhen.) Destroy the first defense guard, taking out the catapults, then
the Cao Ren, then the next defense guard. Then jump over the wall, (even
if you have a horse, just leave it for now) and protect the ram. The
gate should open soon, and then you may get your horse back, if you left
it. Charge Xu Zhu in the center, then go after Cao Hong, (Sub-Gen: Xiahou
Shang) and Wang Lang (Sub-Gen: Wen Pin) if the units that take the path
opened by the rock slide advance to far, take them out as well (that's
why I instructed you to make your bodyguard stay, he should help take out
some of them.) Now, when Sima Yi says "the wind is just right" go to the
top ships of the fleet to the right of the map, and kill the task force.
Now, kill Cao Rui, Sima Zhao, Sima Yi (cut scene), and finally, Cao Pi.
(Side Note: Zhen Ji's "save the princess" comment is triggered when any
Wu soldier getting close to Xu Zhu. If you can get inside the chamber
that Cao Pi and Sima Yi are in soon after that, a cut scene and ambush
will trigger.)
Battle of Bai Di Castle – Starts out with an awesome movie, then you head
forward, killing enemy peasants, and attempting to surround the castle.
Move up to Wang Ping, killing him and his officer, Huang Zhong (you may
also want to kill Yan Yan before heading to Wang Ping, seeing as how he's
another of Huang Zhong's Sub-gens). Charge past up, up to the supply
base up top, tramping it. Then head back down, taking over that supply
base, and the attack base too. Take out Ma Chao (watch out, he's super
charged) when he shows up, and any other officers on the way (Guan Suo,
Ma Dai and Guan Xing). Then take the attack base in the bottom right
corner, moving up to the supply base in the middle right, and kill Yang
Yi to open the eastern gate of Bai Di castle, and storm in (P.S. Watch
out for the arbalests in the castle, they are a real pain in the
ass!!!!!!). Take out the two gates on top and bottom, along with Jiang
Wei, Xing Cai, and if you feel like it, Zhang Bao and Zhang Yi. Ignore
Liu Chan till the very end (watch out enemy reinforcements will show up a
few minutes after you enter the castle). Congrats, you win.
Attacks:

seconds, a couple in succession are a good crowd clearer.

downwards to the left.

one more slash while jumping into the air, and shooting a fireball
forward.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Twin Sabers - 3 power
2nd Weapon – Wing Sabers – 7 power
3rd Weapon – Eagle – 11 power
4th Weapon – Falcon – 34 power
(Fill 15, Luck 18, Speed 20, Attack 15, Musou 19)
How to get fourth weapon – Battle of Bai Di Castle – Ok, main thing here,
until you receive the weapon, stay the hell out of Bai Di Castle, and
stay the hell away from Xing Cai. Start off by charging after Huang
Zhong, to save Huang Gai from any embarrassment that the old man will try
to deal to him. When that's done, just slay the little peon peasants
until Ma Chao shows up, kill him, and rush through the maze (move around
to the center, take out the golden statue, then kill all the enemies that
appear), and slay Jiang Wei. The Valuable item will show up in the top
right corner of the stone sentinel maze. After this, go after Liu Chan,
beat him, Xing Cai will now rush you and if you stay in the castle too
long, Yue Ying's reinforcements will appear, (after she appears, if the
valuable item has not yet shown up, it won't appear at all).
------------------------------
-Taishi Ci
------------------------------
- Extremely loyal and powerful, will fight off anyone who tries to
disrupt Wu. Developed strong ties with Sun Ce, and fought on with Wu,
even after Sun Ce's death.
Musou Mode:
1. Battle of the Wu Territory - start off killing every officer, troops
and base you can. Take over bases, When Sun Quan is trapped, kill him,
and if you see Zhou Tai, kill him on the way. Take out Zhou Yu, hes a
major pain in the ass. So, just kill off troops, get a high KO rate, and
kill Sun Ce when you feel like it. When you encounter him, a cutscene
will play.
2. Battle of Xia Kou - Kill Huang Zu. Start off the battle, by rushing
to Cai Mao, Killing any officer on the way. If you brought a body guard,
leave him behind, as he can take alot of your kills. Kill Cai Mao, and
the other officer near him, and fight your way out. You can rack up alot
of kills here, so have fun.
3. Battle of He Fei - start off by taking over the defense base in front
of you, and the supply base beyond that. When Zhang Liao shows up, rush
to Sun Quan to save him. Kill off Xu Huang when he shows up, to make
sure he doesn't flank the bottom. Kill Zhang Liao when he appears again.
Take out Pang De on the way, to or from the bottom, and any bases in the
way. Kill Zhang Liao when he appears again, then rush up top, and slay
Cao Cao.
4. The Invasion of Nan Zhong - Kill Dong Tu Na, Ahui Nan and Jinhuan
Sanjie right off the bat, and slay any pesky peon that gets in your way.
Kill Zhu Rong, and take her elephant, take out the defense base on the
left of the map, and capture the attack base up top. March into the
allied base with the elephant, knocking down the walls on both sides.
When the task force shows up, take him out, don't let him knock out the
bridge, and kill the beast masters. Then march through the enemy camp, I
recommend long way, as to kill more troops, and kill Meng Huo. Don't let
anyone too close to Meng Huo, until the beast master and task force have
been taken care of, or he'll appear close to the main camp.
5. Battle of He Fei Castle - Whoo, I don't like this one. Start off by
eliminating Xu Huang, and those annoying troops in your way. When Lu Xun
gives the command, rush around the left side, killing Cao Zhang and
Cao Xiu on the way. Of course, attack soldiers on the way. Kill the
defense captains manning the catapults, (have a little fun flying down
the stairs with your jump charge attack) and kill the gate captain,
letting everyone in! When the task force appears on the ships, kill them
before they set the ship on fire, also don't forget, kill all officers
you come across. Wrap it up by killing as many soldiers as possible,
then go after Cao Pi.
Attacks:
Triangle (charge) - stamps the ground, knocking enemies down.
Jump + Triangle - flies at ground, stabbing ground and slamming enemies
around.
Musou - stabs repeatingly with left and right rod. Finishes with
attacking in two X shaped motions, and finishing with stabbing forward
with both rods at same time.
True Musou - Same as Musou, except stronger, and finishes with a swipe
up, and jumps down, slamming ground.
Square - Swings right rod.
Square X2 - Swings right rod, and stabs with left rod.
Square X3 - Swings right rod, stabs with left rod, then attacks while

3rd Weapon – Wolf Slayer – 16 power
4th Weapon - Tiger Slayer - 38 power
(Charge 15, Horse 15, Bow 15, Defense 18, Life 18)
How to Get 4th weapon:
(Battle for the Wu Territory)
This one is EXTREMELY easy. Start out just killing troops, wait for Sun
Quan to get trapped and kill him off before Zhou Tai saves him. Once
he's dead just kill off Zhou Tai, and the valuable item will appear up
top, to the left of Sun Ce, in front of the gate on the ship. From there
on, just kill and maim until you feel like taking on Sun Ce. Watch out
if the enemy infiltrates the main camp. Kill Zhou Yu off, that's a major
help.

in martial arts. She was so interested in war that even her chambermaids
knew how to fight.
Musou Mode:
1.Battle of Jing Province – start off by taking the two attack bases in
the center, don't kill a lot of soldiers, and just take them. If your
strong, feeling brave, and on red hare, you can attempt to take out Huang
Zu, and save your father, but it takes speed. Once that's done, take out
the defense base to the east, and clear out the outer castle courtyard,
move back out to the area before the main gate, if they're still
fighting. Then just move your way inward, killing any officer that gets
in your way.
2.Escape from Chi Bi – I recommend you have a horse for this battle,
preferably Red Hare. Chase after Cao Cao, that's it. Take out any
officer that gets in your way, not any ON your way, any that gets in your
way. The main ones there are Xiahou Yuan, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and
sometimes Liu Yan, Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao. Cao Cao will stop his
marches sometimes, nail him when he stops. Also watch out for the bridge
collapsing in the beginning, which takes a lot of time off of catching
Cao Cao.
3.Battle of He Fei – Start out by taking the gate and the supply base in
front of you. Start moving upwards, taking out the defense base, and
when Xu Huang shows up, quickly route him, to prevent him from flanking
the main base. Work to the center, and take out Zhang Liao when he
appears. Move up to the top right corner, and destroy the defense and
supply base, and kill Zhang Liao when he appears once more. Move towards
the castle, taking out that supply base in the middle top, and move down
to the supply//defense combo just below that. When Zhang Liao shows up
once more, kill him, and move up, take the supply base if it already
hasn't been. If you feel like it, kill Zhang Liao for the last time, but
I didn't, he got on my nerves. Take out Cao Cao and you win.

Dailai Dongzhu. When He's dead, go after Zhu Rong (Take her elephant),
take out the attack base next to her, and go capture the attack base in
the north. Take out the supply base on the way. Destroy the walls that
are enclosing the main camp, and march down at Meng Huo the long way,
through his camp.
5.Battle of Yi Ling – Start off by making your bodyguard stay, unless
your severely underpowered. Defeating enemies here should be a snap.
Defeat enemies, officers and gate captains while waiting for the fire
attack. Once that's done, go around the field, eliminating any rogue
officers that pose a threat, kill off enemies, and close gates. Finish
it by killing off her love, Liu Bei. A cutscene will show once you meet
with him.

-Sun Quan
------------------------------
- Son of Sun Jian, ruled after the death of both his father and brother,
the fate of Wu rests on his shoulders. Has a remarkable leadership
skills.
Musou:
Battle of Xia Kou – head forward, destroy the attack base, Zhang Hu, Chen
Sheng, Lu Gong, the supply base, then head to the southwest, defeating
the defense base. As soon as you are in the base, rush past everyone, to
Cai Mao, and kill him, defending the main base from his fleet. Now, go
after Wen Pin, the supply base inside the enemy's base, and the defense
base to the left. Go after Gan Ning and the attack base on the far left,
then head up after Huang Zu.
Battle of Chi Bi – head forward, and take out the gate right ahead of
you. Head forward even more, and defeat Wang Lang, taking down the east
bridge, right as the announcement goes out. Then go after Yu Jin and
keep on fighting in that little area for a while. When Zhen Ji comes
down, kill her and Xu Shu, then head west, to 'help' the overpopulation
of enemy troops. On the way, kill of Xun You, Wen Pin and Man Chong.
Next, go after Zhang Liao, who is probably trying to raid Zhuge Liang's
prayer by now. Now, go back easy, and kill off Xiahou Yuan, who ventured
a little far into your territory, and for that he must pay. Now, the
ships are probably set aflame by now, head up through the western bridge
(the one you were supposed to destroy, but I didn't for a good reason,
this) to go after Cao Hong in a hurry. After Hong, Go after Cao Zhen,
Cao Xiu and Cao Pi. Finish off with Jia Xu and finally, Cao Cao.
Battle of He Fei – start off by rushing the defense base in the center of
the map (straight ahead of you). Man Chong should be inside the base, so
take him out as well. When you're done, head outside the base and take
care of Niu Jin and Pang De (Niu Jin first, cause he'll run when Pang De
is defeated). While fighting them, Cao Zhang should show up with
reinforcements, so feel free to take him out as well. Now, take out the
gates that are right below the defense base. Zhang Liao's ambush should
have shown up by now, so rush over there and take him out, the arrogant
bastard. Next, head for the supply base above the defense base you
defeated, then go for the next defense base to the left of the defeated
defense base you conquered, the one right above where Xu Huang's ambush.
Now, go south, and take out the supply base, Xu Huang and Yue Jin, along
with the gate and soldiers, of course. By now, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong's
reinforcement units have shown up, along with the annoying Zhang Liao,
take them out, along with Li Dian and Yu Jin who up there as well, and
don't forget the defense base and two supply bases up top, along with
taking out the supply base below He Fei Castle on the way. Head back to
the southwest, and defeat Zhang Liao who appeared once more to the
bottom, and head to the top. Take Zhang Liao out one last time, and
defeat Cao Cao.
Battle of He Fei Castle – start off by charging ahead and defeating the
gate captain, watch out, troops appear from behind and may attack you by
surprise. Storm into the castle, and kill Wen Pin, and go north, taking
out Wang Lang. Go around the castle, to the inner castle, and take out
Xiahou Shang and Cao Hong on the way. In the castle, kill Cao Zhen, Cao
Ren and if you feel like venturing farther north, Xu Zhu. But, first,
take out the catapult's Defense captains (who are on top of the castle
walls, on each side of the inner castles front gate). If you
accidentally jump, fall or are knocked over the wall (for example, you
knock Cao Zhen over the wall on accident and jump over cause you are not
letting that bastard escape O=) Ahem,) just wait at the front gate, by
the ram, and wait for the door to open, it shouldn't take too long.
Next, fight through the western indirect route into the castle (where Cao
Zhang is//was), and route the troops over there, and when you see Zhen
Ji, get rid of her. Now, leave out of the side of the castle, and go
down, and right, past the outer castle's main gate, over to the ships,
and seek out Cao Rui, Man Chong and the Task Leaders. Next, head up to
Sima Yi and Cao Pi, and kill them.
Battle of Bai Di Castle - Head forward, killing anything in your way, in
an attempt to surround the castle. Go after Yan Yan, and trample the
attack base above him. Now, attack Wang Ping, killing him and his
officer, Huang Zhong. Charge up to the northern most supply base, and
trample it. Then head back down, taking over that supply base (If Huang
Gai already hasn't). Now, go back to your main base, and attack any
troops there, and wait for Ma Chao. Take out Ma Chao (watch out, he's
super charged, and he's looking for you) when he shows up, and then head
for the other officers, Guan Suo, Ma Dai and Guan Xing. Then take the
attack base in the bottom right corner, moving up to the supply base in
the middle right, and kill Yang Yi to open the eastern gate of Bai Di
castle, and storm in (P.S. Watch out for the arbalests in the castle,
they are a real pain in the ass!!!!!!). Take out the two gates on top
and bottom, along with Jiang Wei, Xing Cai, and if you feel like it,
Zhang Bao and Zhang Yi. Ignore Liu Chan till the very end (watch out
enemy reinforcements they show up a few minutes after you enter the
castle).
Attacks:
Charge: Stamps the ground, knocking enemies down. It does not do good
damage at all, but it is useful for making escapes, and getting ready to
nail the enemy.
Jumping Charge: jumps, flips, and slams sword into ground.
S: Swings sword left.
S2: Swings sword left, then right.
S3: Swings sword left, and then right, then left again.

uppercut motion, and then right once more, and then a couple 360 spin
attacks.
Musou: Swings sword back and forth continuously, finishing by slashing in

Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Wolf Sword - 3 power
2nd Weapon – Wolf Claw – 7 power
3rd Weapon – King Wolf – 11 power
4th Weapon – Master Wolf – 34 power
(Charge 17, Fill 15, Bow 15, Attack 16, Musou 18)
How to get 4th Weapon – Battle of Chi Bi – Go forward, and take out the
gate, and the bridge straight ahead (by killing Wang Lang), when that's
done go take out the western bridge (By killing Cai Mao). If Pang Tong
starts to struggle, watch out, at least until his cut scene shows, which
is soon after the collapse of both bridges. Now, go over to the land on
the left side of the map, and kill anyone that gets close to Zhuge Liang
(Mainly Xun You and Wen Pin). Also make sure to close the gate just
above Zhuge's position. Go up; take out Zhang Liao, and probably Xiahou
Yuan who will get in your way and any minions in your way. When Huang
Gai is summoned, make sure nothing major is in his way. If you go
through all three of the cut scenes (Zhuge's "there is no magic here"
speech, Huang's "flames of Wu" speech and Pang Tongs genius gloating)
then the valuable item will appear on the large ship right below Cao
Cao's large ship, to the left of the gate. Now, go take out Zhen Ji, who
has been causing trouble on the right side of the map, move up to the
rest of the officers, and finish off Cao Cao. As always, don't forget
your weapon.
------------------------------
-Ling Tong
------------------------------
- Son of Ling Cao, Ling Tong is an excellent fighter always raring to go.
Although a little bit cynical, his bravery carries him long distances.
When his father was killed by the pirate Gan Ning, he grew indifferent
towards him, constantly competing with him, on and off the battlefield.
(*Recommended Wu Starter)
I recommend you start any Musou Mode with him, because he is pretty easy.
He's extremely fast, he is pretty strong and is easy to learn the game
with. Charge attack isn't too useful, but his (SSS+/\) attack is a great
crowd clearer. Another reason I recommend him, is to get the Tiger
Amulet, that is possibly the best item in the game, it is extremely
useful. Side Note: strengthen up, the battle of He Fei is quite annoying
and I tried many times before defeating, just a warning.
Battle of the Wu Territory - His first battle is easy, just hack, slash
and kill, no real way to lose. Use your (SSS+/\) as mentioned above, and
have fun with it. When Sun Quan is ambushed, go help him. Watch out for
Taishi Ci, he killed me first try cause I was careless. Save a Musou rage
to deal with him, that'll fix his ass.
Battle of Xia Kou - This one can be quite annoying. Your father will die
here, make no mistake about that. When he does, Ling Tong becomes
enraged, this is when you go after Gan Ning, kill him, and just keep
killing officers. Fight your way to the center, and take out Cai Mao
before he launches the fleet, and any other officer on your way. then
fight up to Huang Zu. Kill a lot here, battle of He Fei, as stated
earlier, is quite hard.
Battle of Chi Bi - I royally screwed this up the first time, Zhuge Liang
never called the wind, but Huang Gai did set their ships on fire however,
that was good. Anyway, if Zhou Yu is defeated here, he dies, and Sun
Quan lets off some speech saying to avenge him, yadda yadda yadda.
Either way, don't let Wei get too far. Start off by eliminating all
officers near to you. That is about two or three. Then go clear off
those bridges, kill Xiahou Yuan on the other side of bridge one, it's
easy. When this is all done, just slay until the fire attack proceeds.
Kill Cao Cao when the times right, and you win.
Battle of He Fei - this one isn't too easy, but it can be done first try,
but I wouldn't know, I died like 5 times. First, head for Pang De, kill
him, and take out the officer on the way. Then, after him, take out Cao
Zhang (he appears behind him) and if you want, the base just above him.
Then head towards Sun Quan, taking out Man Chong and the base. When you
get to Sun Quan, chances are Zhang Liao is there, Rape him. Jump and hit
him off the horse, and kick his ass. Don't let a soldier or your
bodyguard kill him, it was your kill rightfully. Then head north, kill
soldiers. Wait for Zhang Liao to appear, and kill him once more. Head to
the bottom left, and kill soldiers there, and wait for Zhang Liao to show
up, and kill him, once more. When this is finished (you should probably
have a Musou rage by now) and wait to the right of the fort, and wait,
Zhang Liao will show up once last time, Musou rage him, and kill him off.
Head into the fortress, and kill units and work your way over to Cao Cao.
Battle of Yi Ling - Pshaw, what a joke. Only a few pointers for here,
make sure Zhu Ran doesn't die, and kill Liu Bei. Easy. If you go near
Gan Ning, you'll trigger a cut scene. When your inside the sentinel
maze, your map will disappear, just follow the trail of soldiers to kill.
It's easy to get over 1000 kills here. Have fun here, take out all the
enemy officers, not that difficult.
Attacks:
Charge: Running kick at an enemy, I don't recommend this, it sucks.
Jumping Charge: Kicks an enery disk at the enemy. Good for knocking
people off of horses, and clearing enemies in front of you.
S: Swings Nunchaku.
S2: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction.
S3: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite
direction again.
S4: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite
direction again, then opposite direction once more.
S5: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite
direction again, then opposite direction once more, then spins around,
flailing Nunchaku.
S6: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite
direction again, then opposite direction once more, spins around,
flailing Nunchaku, then charges and swings it at dead in front of him.
(Can trigger an evolution attack.)
C1: Swings Nunchaku, then charges and kicks with both feet upwards, doing
a backflip.
C2: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then does three
roundhouse kicks.
C3: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite
direction again, then does a front flip, slamming into ground. Good
crown clearer.
C4: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite
direction again, then opposite direction once more, then swings it in
front of him, causing a whirlwind.
C5: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite
direction again, then opposite direction once more, then spins around,
flailing Nunchaku, then causes a fire whirlwind, turns around, and turns
back.
Musou: flails the Nunchaku in front of him, finishes off by doing a 360.
True Musou: Flails the Nunchaku in front of him, and finishes a few more
stronger hits in front of him, finishes with an emitted beam.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Wood Nunchaku - 4 power
2nd Weapon - Iron Nunchaku - 8 power
3rd Weapon - Rising Phoenix - 12 power
4th Weapon - Dragon Fury - 36 power -
(Charge 16, Luck 16, Speed 19, Attack 17, Life 15)
How to Get 4th weapon: (Battle of He Fei) this one isn't too easy, but it
can be done first try, I did. First, head for Pang De, kill him, and
take out the officer on the way. Then, after him, take out Cao Zhang (he
appears behind him) and if you want, the base just above him. Then head
towards Sun Quan, taking out Man Chong and the base. When you get to Sun
Quan, chances are Zhang Liao is there, Rape him. Jump and hit him off
the horse, and kick his ass (Make sure its YOU that kills him, not your
bodyguard, or another soldier.) Then head north, kill soldiers. Wait
for Zhang Liao to appear, and kill him once more (Again, make sure its
YOU that kills him) Head to the bottom left, and kill soldiers there, and
wait for Zhang Liao to show up, YOU kill him, once more. When this is
finished (you should probably have a Musou rage by now) and wait to the
right of the fort, and wait, Zhang Liao will show up once last time,
Musou rage him, and kill him off. The fourth weapon will appear on top
of the bottom wall of the fortress Cao Cao is in, once you have it, kill
off Cao Cao.

Wei - "Warriors who sought to conquer..."
"With the rise of the Hero of Chaos, Cao Cao, a new era had been ushered
in. Will the land come to know peace under his ambitious rule? Or will
their oppressive rule simply increase the feelings of unrest throughout
the land? The Kingdom of Wei strives to prove that its brand of
government is what's best for the people."

Musou:
Battle of Xia Pi – Head forward, and take out the defense base ahead.
Then head up, don't cross the bridge to your north, go around, you should
run into Zang Ba, who you'll kill, on the way. After Zang Ba, head east,
and kill the supply base that you'll eventually run into, along with Cao
Xing and Zhang Liao. Then head to Gao Shun, and the Flood gate is right
ahead of him, you'll notice it by the giant churning wheel, well, to
capture it, kill Gao Shun. Now, Hou Cheng and Song Xian will defect, so
move into the castle, when the upper gate opens, slay, kill and maim, and
fight to Lu Bu.
Battle of Guan Du – Head forth, and defeat the attack base. Lu Wei Kuang
should be there, so take him out as well. Now, head out of the base,
going north, and take out Wen Chou, and the defense base right above him.
Chances are, Lu Xiang will charge you here too, so kill him. Not hard.
When Wu Chao opens up, charge in and kill every one in your way,
excluding Zhang He, he defects after Wu Chao is set aflame. But, if you
wish to kill him, it's always good to get extra points at the end of the
battle. Take out Yuan Shang, and finally, Chunyu Qiong, he triggers the
base being set on fire. Now, head after the four remaining officers
(Zhen Ji, Liu Bei (sub: Jian Yong), Yuan Tan (sub: Xun Chen), and Yuan Xi
(sub: Lu Kuang). When everything's safe, and all enemies are done, go
after Yuan Shao, who should have charged by now, and you win.
(Note: DO NOT LET GUAN DU CASTLE FALL!!!!! If a distress signal is sent
out, haul ass down there, pronto!)
Guan Yu's Escape – This one is not a real good battle for attaining KOs.
Rush forward, and attack any one and anything that gets in your way. The
order enemies appear in should be: Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Zhao Yun, Guan
Ping, Zhang Fei, and finally, Liu Bei. Defeat all them, then finally go
after Guan Yu, and you win. Defeat the carriage before you go after Guan
Yu though, as because its escape means your loss. P.S. if you run across
Guan Yu, and you haven't defeated them all yet, just charge past him.
Battle of Chang Ban – charge forward, attack the peasants if you wish,
they do no harm to you. Head forward, and kill Zhang Fei, the toll for
passage is death, His. If you don't defeat him in time, and Zhao Yun
shows up, ignore Zhang Fei for now, and charge Zhao Yun, but as soon as
your done, go back after that arrogant Zhang Fei. Now, go over, take out
Song Qian and Mi Fang, and the gate up top as well. Now, head down,
taking out the supply base on the lower route, and head down the enemy
defense base next. Rush over to the Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Guan Yu
trio, to attack them, and finish the game. If you start to feel uneasy
here, rush over to the neutral defense base at the end, to help cut them
off.
Battle of He Fei – Go forth, and take over the supply base and defense
base ahead of you (Use Red Hare here!!!). When that's done, kill Zhu
Ran, (and Chen Wu) who is outside of your defense base, and pissed off
cause his slow ass couldn't get to it. Ha ha, loser. Anyways, kill him
and defend the base. Now, kill Taishi Ci who is up there as well. Now,
when that's done, charge to the southeast, and help over take that base
that Wu quickly acquired. I killed Ma Zhong, Pan Zhang and Ding Fend on
the way down, but that's only cause the bastard Ma Zhong knocked me off
of my horse, and killing him for revenge just wasn't good enough, so I
recommend you do this too. Once that defense base is taken down, and Lu
Meng (if he's there) has been taken down, rush north to protect Cao Cao
from Gan Ning. When that's all done and over with, charge the succession
of Defense bases in the middle, go to the top defense base, and charge
down, to the supply base, ending at Sun Quan. Take his head, and you
have won.
Battle of Fan Castle – go forth, and kill the two supply bases, in
succession over to Guan Ping. Kill him to end the water attack ploy.
Right outside of the dam, should be Meng Da, take him out too. Just to
the south of the dam, is a defense base, you know what to do. After
that, chase down Liu Feng, who should have gone to the dam. Now charge
the defense base in the center of the map, then to the supply bases on in
the bottom right. Then head for Ma Liang and the defense base in the
middle of the south, then after Mi Fang and Fu Shi Ren if they haven't
defected. Then head after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Attacks:
Charge: charges ahead with sword at his side, and then swings left, then

knocks enemies into air, and swings. If he misses enemies, he'll swing

How to get fourth weapon – Battle of Fan Castle - go forth, and right
away, kill Guan Ping, he can get his Musou rage going, so watch it.
Then, if you wish to, just rush down to Guan Yu, cause the valuable item
appears in his base anyway, and defeat him then. I recommend bringing a
bodyguard that can heal you. But, if you're going to finish the rest of
the battle:
If you are going to beat the entire battle, Defeat the two supply bases
that are next to each other outside the dam, then go back to the dam.
Right outside of the dam, should be Meng Da, take him out too. Just to
the south of the dam, is a defense base, you know what to do. After
that, chase down Liu Feng, who should have gone to the dam. Now charge
the defense base in the center of the map, then to the supply bases on in
the bottom right. Then head for Ma Liang and the defense base in the
middle of the south, then after Mi Fang and Fu Shi Ren if they haven't
defected. Then head up Zhang Fei, don't forget the valuable weapon and
go after Guan Yu.

------------------------------
- Enchanting wife of Cao Pi, this beauty will hates being left behind,
and proves herself on the battlefield quite often.
-She is an ok game starter, her Charge attack is strong, but her
weapon range is short, watch out!
First Battle - Battle of Guan Du - Easy, use your charge attack to clear
enemies out. Save attack bases and generals if you can, and take out
Guan Yu. When the siege towers appear, protect them if possible. Search
out Cao Pi for a cutscene.
Second Battle - Battle of Chi Bi - Kill Huang Gai! You can kill Zhuge
Liang as well, but if you kill Huang Gai first, there is no need. They
are the main perpetrators of the fire, after that, just kill, maim and
murder your way through the masses to beat Sun Quan.
Third Battle - Battle of Jie Ting - So easy, battle your way up to Ma Su,
kill him and take the base, (a cutscene should appear, telling you when
to attack, till then, just kill anyone in the center.) Then battle your
way through other enemies to get to anyone who comes close to Cao Pi, and
kill Zhuge Liang. Take out Ma Chao when he shows up, he can become quite
a pest.
Fourth Battle - Battle of Wu Zhang Plains - If you haven't beefed her up
by now, this will be hard. Head to the right side of the map, to the
bottom of the three passages there, and kill the defense guard, or w/e
the hell his name is, that will end all supplies getting to the middle.
Once that's finished, take out the two attack bases in the middle, and
defend all defense bases till Zhuge Croaks (cutscene), then go to the
bottom center place, take out the arbalests (cutscene,) and advance with
the rest of the army to kill Jiang Wei. Watch out for explosions; take
out the task team on the bottom right.
Fifth Battle - Battle of He Fei Castle - Medium difficulty, just kill
your way till the army attacks Sun Quan's Boat. Save Sima Yi if he
starts struggling, and watch Cao Pi. Lu Xun usually attacks you, so be
wary of him. Also take out Ram's, they are annoying as well. When
that's all done and over with, go after Sun Quan, killing Zhou Tai on the
way.
Attacks:
Charge: plays flute, the note explodes after a few seconds.
(Note: I recommend this for the first battle, three of these in
succession will clear the large groups of enemies that surround you.)
Jump and attack: Plays flute in air (great for knocking enemies off
horse)
Musou: Plays flute, attacking anything in range
True Musou: Same as Musou, except stronger, and she plays 4 flute notes
at end, finishing off any normal enemy.
Square: swings flute
S2: attacks, then 360-spin attack
S3: attacks, then 360-spin attack, then attacks downwards
S4: attacks, then 360-spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick
S5: attacks, then 360 spin attack, and then attacks downwards, then 360
kick, then another 360 kick

then another 360 kick, then charged flute swing a (a few times if
evolution attack occurs)

times.

attack)
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Flute - 2 power
2nd Weapon - Iron Flute - 6 power
3rd Weapon - Moon Flute - 10 power
4th Weapon - Dark Moon Flute - 32 power
(Fill 20, Horse 17, Bow 18, Def 18, Life 17)
How to Get 4th weapon: (Battle of He Fei Castle) Oh god, if this were any
easier… Just kill at least 300 (hell, I got over 1100) people and go by
Cao Pi, you'll get an intermission movie, where Zhen Ji is killing troops
with her Musou. To do this, just run through the castle killing, simple
as that, kill troops, officers, whatever, there are more then enough.
Watch out for ambushes and whatnot, kill rams when they show up, and
destroy any officer who gets close to an important general. Item appears
just past Zhou Tai on Sun Quan's ship. When Lu Xun shows up, use a Musou
rage, when your done killing his little squad, another Musou rage token
should show, use that on Sun Quan.
------------------------------
-Cao Pi
------------------------------
- Son of Cao Cao, extremely intelligent and level headed, future of Wei
is in his hands. Began his legacy at the battle of Guan Du.
(*Recommended Wei Starter)
-----I recommend you start the Wei Musou Mode with him, he's strong,
fast, and his first battle is quite easy.
First Battle - Battle of Guan Du - Just destroys the towers when Cao Cao
tells you to (if this event occurs). I cannot emphasize this enough, USE
YOUR CHARGE ATTACK, it's an effective crowd clearer, and when your Musou
gauge is filled, it freezes enemies. Kill as many as possible, map is
extremely simple.
Second Battle - Battle of Chi Bi - KILL HUANG GAI! If you have Red Hare
by now, after you kill Huang Gai, haul ass over to Zhuge Liang, and kill
him as he retreats, triggering a special item. Other then that, just
kill here, if you take down Huang, that definitely swings the tide of
battle in your favor. Kill officers for extra points, and just slay,
slay, slay.
Third Battle - Battle of Jie Ting - head to the center, just at the foot
of the mountain, and kill people, take out officers and whatnot, and just
have fun. When Zhen Ji says to head to the mountain and slay Ma Su, do
so. Kill him, and Zhuge Liang will show up. Make your way through the
area, killing officers for the extra points, kill units, try to get over
1000, I know it's damn well possible.
Fourth Battle - Battle Of Wu Zhang Plains - Goddamn does this game like
this battle, I don't know how many people have this battle as one of
their Musou battles, but I know that two orbs, and countless 4th weapons
are attained here. Anyway, start the battle off by taking out the two
attack bases in the center, boy are their catapults annoying. Then rush
over to the right side of the map and take out the defense captain,
quelling supplies being delivered to the center. Kill any Wood Ox on the
way. Till Zhuge Liang dies, and they retreat, kill enemies. When they
do retreat, chase after them, and when the Arbalests show, go up there
and kill them, watch out for the juggernauts. Take the left way to Jiang
Wei, killing the task guards out, thus taking out the explosives as well.
Use the Musou rage that I KNOW you attained during the battle (because I
know of at least two on the battlefield) on Jiang Wei, and voila, the
battles your bitch.
Fifth Battle - Battle of He Fei Castle - Slay all who have entered your
castle! Damn them Wu Bastards, rush through the castle courtyard slaying
troops and officers, as well as getting items and weapons in the crates
that you see. It is so easy to get over 1000 kills here. Kill the rams
when they show, and kill Lu Xun as soon as he enters the castle. Watch
out for the Ambush that appears in the top left, and middle right. Then
just go down and take out Zhou Tai and Sun Quan.
Attacks:
Charge: Shoots out a ball of blue energy that explodes after a few
seconds, a couple in succession are a good crowd clearer. When Musou
gauge is full, it can also freeze enemies.
Jump attack: swipes at ground, bringing enemies into air. If misses, he
hits twice and falls, if he hits an enemy (or two, or hell, five) he
keeps swinging back and forth. Does significant damage, especially to
officers.
Musou: Disconnects his blades and swings back and forth consecutively.
Finishes off with connecting the blades and doing a powerful spin attack.
True Musou: Disconnects his blades and swings back and forth
consecutively. Finishes off with connecting the blades, doing two
powerful lunging attacks, and emits a pulse wave.
S: Swings downward.
S2: Swings downward, then horizontally.
S3: Swings downward, horizontally, then horizontally in the opposite
direction.
S4: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite
direction, then horizontally in the other direction again.
S5: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite
direction, horizontally in the other direction again, then spin attack.
S6: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite
direction, horizontally in the other direction again, spin attack, then
attacks upward. (Can trigger evolution attack, after nine attacks, and
count nine attacks, press triangle to release a red ball of energy,
explodes in black smoke, does great damage.)
C1: Swings downward, charges then swings up.
C2: Swings downward, then horizontally, then disconnects weapon, and does
a lunging attack forward about 5 times. Attack is similar to the ending
of True Musou.
C3: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite
direction, then jumps to the side, charges, and lunges diagonally
forward, attacking.
C4: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite
direction, horizontally in the other direction again, then stabs
disconnected swords into ground, sending out blue waves of energy all
around, throwing enemies away.
C5: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite
direction, horizontally in the other direction again, spin attack, then
charged spin attack.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Twin Blade - 3 power
2nd Weapon - Dual Fang - 7 power
3rd Weapon - Pure Havoc - 11 power
4th Weapon - Chaos - 34 power
(Fill 15, Speed 19, Def 15, Attack 15, Musou 19)
How to Get 4th weapon: (Battle of Wu Zhang Plains) Holy hell is this
hard, I must have tried at least 4 times to get this (yes, I know that's
not a high number for most of you, but considering I only tried once on
the rest of them so far, that's bad for me. To get this, you must kill 3
generals, NOT SUB GENERALS, right off the bat. This is easily done,
seeing as how there are four generals right below the middle. Don't go
for the Wang Lang, Liao Hua special, for the first two kills, I tried
that, it don't work, cause Ma Dai and Wei Yan just head for the middle,
making the kill time shorter. Instead, go for Wei Yan and Ma Dai,
killing them, and then head on to Liao Hua. Once this is done, Zhuge
Liang will croak, and you just have to wait for the Arbalest ambush to
appear. During this time, I suggest killing the Supply Line's Defense
Guard, and maybe take down an attack base. When the ambush does show up,
kill all the Arbalests, then the weapon will show up in the center of the
area you just killed the Arbalests. (P.S. if either Sima Yi or Cao Ren
dies in this battle, the weapon will NOT show up.)

Shu - "Warriors who fought to preserve virtue..."
"The way of the master and servant, the affection of the people, a
peaceful life. These important virtues have been forgotten in the chaos
of war. Liu Bei and his followers will keep fighting in order to restore
the glory of the Han and return peace to the land. Even if there are
some who scoff at their desires, they believe in a future after the
fighting is finished."

-Zhao Yun
------------------------------
- Brave young soldier who once traveled the land, Zhao Yun now serves
under Liu Bei, and seeks to end the chaos and unite the land. Once saved
Liu Bei's son, Liu Chan, from death, when he was left behind at an
abandoned castle overrun with enemy forces.
(*Recommended Shu Starter)
-----I recommend starting the Shu Musou mode with him, his Charge attack
is an effective crowd clearer, his attack is long range, and he's quite
powerful.
Musou Stages:
Battle of Ji Province - Kill Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang then kill Pei Yuan
Shao, and follow the message to the precious item at the bottom, easy way
to acquire Fire arrows in the beginning. On your way to these enemies,
slay as many troops as possible, I got well over 1000 kills here, and you
can too. Don't worry about the tornado's, they don't affect you none.
Zhang Jiao can be quite annoying, watch out.
Battle of Hu Lao Gate - A word of advice for the battle ahead: STAY THE
HELL AWAY FROM LU BU!! He is souped up good, and a pain to beat, so just
avoid him all together. Just fight your way through, that's all I can
say, its not too hard if you avoid Lu Bu. Zhang Liao is annoying, but
easy. When your fighting Dong Zhuo, however, Lu Bu may rush to his aid.
Battle of Chang Ban – Don't rush, it's easy. Casually fight your way
out, killing everyone in the way, but make sure you get to Liu Bei to
trigger a cutscene that raises allied morale. When that's done, rush
back up top and kill kill kill. Its OK, Liu Bei will make it to the
escape point safely. When Cao Cao appears, kill him to end the battle.
Extremely easy to get over 1000 KO's.
Battle of Cheng Du – Start off and charge the gate ahead of you, kill Lei
Tong to open it. Once inside, kill Fei Guan and Deng Xian, and finally
Liu Xun. To the north of the castle is the gate captain, open the
castle's northern gates. Now, move out of the left castle gate, to Li
Yan, kill him and the soldiers in that little area, and then move into
Cheng Du castle. Once Cheng Du is cleared out, head north, and kill
Zhang Ren, if Pang Tong hasn't already died, you just saved him. Now, go
in front of Cheng Du, to clear out Yan Yan and Wu Lan. Eventually, the
inner gates of Cheng Du Castle will open, go inside, clear the gate in
there, and finally defeat Liu Zhang. Ends with a cut scene.
Battle of Yi Ling – one major thing in this battle: KILL ZHU RAN. DO NOT
LET THE FIRE ATTACK COMMENCE, IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. Rush through enemy
territory, don't risk waiting till the bridge drops, you may be too far
away. Kill Ling Tong and Gan Ning on the way, piece of cake. From there
on, just slay, kill and mutilate till you win. Take care of Lu Xun, he's
a major pain.
Attacks:
Triangle (charge) – lunges forward, stabbing with spear.
Jump + Triangle – jumps and swipes, if he misses he swipes twice, but if
he hits, he swipes continuously. Does considerable damage.
Musou – spins around, and finishes off with a swipe covering a good
percentage of the area around him.
True Musou – like normal Musou, except stronger, and finishes with a jump
in the air, and an air pocket driving enemies into air.
Square – Swipes with spear.
Square X2 – Swipes then stabs.
Square X3 – Swipes, stabs then 360 attack.
Square X4 – Swipes, stabs, 360 attack, then slashes downward.
Square X5 – Swipes, Stabs, 360 attack, slashes downward, then another 360
attack.
Square X6 – Swipes, Stabs, 360 attack, slashes downward, another 360,
then a strong frontward slash.
(Evolution attack can be triggered, if acquired)
C1 – Swipes, then uses butt of spear to nail upwards.
C2 – Swipes, Stabs then strong slashes upwards and downwards, finishing
with a 360 attack.
C3 – swipes, stabs, 360 then charged 360.
C4 – Swipes, Stabs, 360 attack, downward slash, then spins around and a
charged downwards slash, slamming ground.
C5 - Swipes, Stabs, 360 attack, slashes downward, another 360 attack,
then jumps, spins and swipes.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Bronze Spear - 4 power
2nd Weapons – Great Spear – 8 power
3rd Weapon – Dragon Spear – 12 power
4th Weapon – Fierce Dragon – 36 power
(Charge 16, Defense 17, Attack 17, Musou 17, Life 17)
How to get 4th Weapon: (Battle of Cheng Du) – Extremely simple, just take
the entire southern base. Kill Lei Tong, Fei Guan and then Deng Xian, not
necessarily in that order, (except for Lei Tong) but you need them dead
before Liu Xun. When they are dead, kill the gate captain at the to, and
the guard captain at the bottom of the base. Then go after Liu Xun, and
kill the gate captain too. It will give you a notice "Luo Castle has
been captured!" and the valuable item will appear right in the center of
the castle.
Note: excellent starter, hes strong, he kicks ass, and his first Musou
mission gets you a rare item! Start it off with the (SSSS) attack,
that's his best crowd clearer, but test out the rest, his charge is
wonderful too.
------------------------------
-Guan Yu
------------------------------
- The God of War, he embodies virtue, justice and loyalty. Sworn brother
of Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, this warrior made a name for himself during the
Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Musou Stages:
Battle of Si Shui Gate – start off moving upwards, take out the gate all
the way to the top east, defeating Hu Zhen on the way. P.S. the pot
nearby the gate contains a Musou wine. Move west, and take down the
defense base, watch out for Niu Fu inside. Once this is done, head to
the middle, taking down Dong Min, Jia Xu, Guo Si and the attack base. If
you feel fast, you may also wish to take the defense base at the bottom,
the one Sun Jian is heading towards. When that's done, head to Si Shui
gate, killing Li Jue, and if your fast enough you can open the gate up,
instead of going around, here's where it changes:
(A) If you hurry up, and the gate opens, a cut scene showing Lu Bu will
show, and you have to defeat him. Don't worry, he's not that hard here,
unlike the next part, but it does take some time to get him, I recommend
a bodyguard here.
(B) If you have to go around, watch out for the ambush that will appear,
kill them all, and the officers, usually Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Gongsun
Zan are there to help.
By now, you will have reached Huang Zu, when you reach him, a cut scene
will play, and you have to defeat him. Finished.
Battle of Hu Lao Gate – Red Hare is a big help here. Charge forward, only
killing a couple of that huge group there, and head up to Xu Rong, kill
him and take the gate which he's by. From there on, take the attack
base, killing anyone in your way, and head to the supply base. Head to
Hu Lao Gate, killing Hu Zhen, when you see him. Take out the gate that
you pass when you first come into the opening, and clear out a ton of
units, including officers: Guo Si, Zhao Cen, Li Jue, Wang Fang, Li Meng
and Gao Shun when he come out. DO NOT KILL THE GATE CAPTAIN BY HU LAO
GATE! LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. Go clear the gate on the other side of the
clearing, where Li Jue is, which can give you quite a bit of kills. When
Lu Bu finally is unleashed, if your feeling a little brave, charge him.
Wait for the cut scene, and flee, go help Cao Cao defeat Li Ru, and let
your brothers take care of Lu Bu for awhile. When you come back, he
should have a sizable portion of his health taken out. Help them take
him on, til your close to death, then just don't risk it, take off. Be
warned, STAY AWAY FROM HIM WHEN HE GLOWS RED OR GOLD, HE WILL KILL YOU IF
HE ATTACKS, EVEN FROM JUST ONE!!!! If you didn't kill him, head up
through Zhang Liao, kill him, listen to the little conversation, and head
for Dong Zhuo. Watch it, he will call for help from Lu Bu, so eliminate
him fast.
Battle of Guan Du – Watch out here, this battle is easy to start screwing
up in. Start off by pushing forward through the castle, and heading
towards Yan Liang. Leaving your STRONG bodyguard at the top gate of the
castle, to protect from invaders, head towards him, slaughtering him as
you get near. You may also want to stop off to the left of the castle
first, to kill his sub-general, Han Meng (If your going to go this way,
get rid of that damn attack base above you, as its extremely annoying).
Once this is done, just continue fighting, and Liu Bei shall move towards
you. When you get close enough, a cut scene will play, showing Liu Bei
fighting, and Guan Yu rejoicing, having found his brother. Head after
him and defeat him and Jian Yong. What? It's an officer kill, worth good
points. Any who, head to Yuan Tan, and slaughter him, and work your way
west, and take down the attack base. Kill Yuan Shang, but during the
battle, try to ignore Zhang He, as he will defect later on, making a good
ally. From here on, just go after Zhen Ji, defeat her, destroy the rams
and arrow towers, and protect Cao Cao.
Guan Yu's Escape – This is quite possible the EASIEST stage ever. Unless
you suck at life, and can't play worth shit, you'll win. Just eliminate
anyone that comes near to the carriage, and take down the officers that
stand in your way. At the end, when the carriage stops and Xiahou Dun
challenges you, ride back and take him down.
Escape from Chi Bi – Well, this is why Guan Yu is known as the God of
War, his extreme loyalty, and codes of virtue. He owed Cao Cao big, so
he let him live after this. If he had killed Cao Cao, history would have
been SOOO different. Anyway. I recommend you have a horse for this
battle, preferably Red Hare. Chase after Cao Cao, that's it. Take out
any officer that gets in your way, not any ON your way, any that gets in
your way. The main ones there are Xiahou Yuan, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and
sometimes Liu Yan, Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao. Cao Cao will stop his
marches sometimes, nail him when he stops. Also watch out for the bridge
collapsing in the beginning, which takes a lot of time off of catching
Cao Cao.
Battle of Fan Castle – This Battle can be Quite Difficult. Start off by
rushing forwards and taking out the base in front of you, then rush up
top, kill Yue Jin and Niu Jin, and protect the site of the water attack,
until about 4 minutes in, when the attack commences. When this is
complete, go kill Pang De, to stop him from preventing the allied fleets
preparations, kill Yu Jin, Dong Heng and Dong Zhao, and take out the
supply and defense bases on the way. Xu Huang will have arrived by now,
and a cut scene will play, kill him before you go on the bridge. When you
proceed to the bridge, move in and kill Cao Ren. Now, kill Lu Xun and Lu
Meng, when they come up top watch out for them, they are annoying. Also,
watch out, a couple of your officers will defect to Wu when they show up,
if they affect you too much. And if you hold out long enough, Zhang Fei
will show up with reinforcements. (P.S. You can lead Pang De into the
ditch around Fan Castle just before the water attack commences, so you
wont have to deal with him)
Attacks:
Charge: Lunges forward, swirling his blade.
Jumping Charge: Jumps, slashes and slams ground.
S: Slashes.
S2: Slashes, then again in the opposite direction.
S3: Slashes, slashes in opposite direction, then stabs forward.
S4: Slashes, slashes in opposite direction, stabs forward, then slashes
again.
S5: Slashes, slashes in opposite direction, stabs forward, slashes again,
then slashes downwards.
S6: Slashes, slashes in opposite direction, stabs forward, slashes again,
slashes downwards, then a charged slash.
(Can trigger an evolution attack.)
C1: Slashes, then charges uppercut slash.
C2: Slashes, then in opposite direction, then charged uppercut slashes
from both sides, finishing off with a strong normal slash. Keep pressing
triangle to prolong attack.
C3: Slashes, slashes in opposite direction, then stabs forward, then a
360 attack.
C4: Slashes, slashes in opposite direction, stabs forward, then slashes
again, then finishes with a whirlwind.
C5: Slashes, slashes in opposite direction, stabs forward, slashes again,
then slashes downwards, then finishes by stamping the ground, emitting a
blue beam, that stuns enemies temporarily.
Musou: Spins continuously, finishing with a stronger spin.
True Musou: Spins continuously, finishing by raising spear into the air,
and knocking all enemies into air with a teal whirlwind.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Crescent Blade - 5 power
2nd Weapon – Moon Blade – 10 power
3rd Weapon – Blue Dragon – 16 power
4th Weapon – Blue Moon Dragon – 38 power
(Charge 16, Horse 16, Defense 17, Attack 18, Life 18)
How to get 4th Weapon – (Battle of Fan Castle) – Start off by Rushing
towards Yue Jin and Niu Jin (Cao Ren's sub-generals) and killing them.
You must kill them before the river overflows. Watch out for Yue Jin,
his movements can be a little tricky, but he tends to move below the
defense base in the top middle. When the report "the river is getting
too high// the Wei Army is moving to Higher Ground" watch out, you don't
have much time left, maybe 20 seconds. The water attack sets off Around 4
minutes (I had 4'03"73.) If you finished early, haul ass over to pang de,
and lure him into the drooping land around the castle, when there are
only a few seconds left, (hopefully you have red hare) haul ass to higher
ground, and the cutscene will play, and surprise, you don't have to deal
with Pang De! The Valuable item will appear on one of the building in
Fan Castle, lead to by the bridges within. The cutscene with all the
ships appearing will play, and just go get your weapon and kill Cao Ren!
If you didn't have enough time, or you didn't succeed in killing Pang De
with the water, then when the water attack commences, Finish the battle
by killing, maiming and hurting until the Shu Navy gets into position.
Kill Pang De and Yu Jin [especially Pang De], as they can become a
nuisance. Ignore Xu Huang, unless he comes after you. Move in, kill Cao
Ren, then Lu Meng. Don't forget to get your Weapon before the battle is
up. Congrats.
------------------------------
-Zhang Fei
------------------------------
- Originally a meat butcher, Zhang Fei made a name for himself during the
Yellow Turban Rebellion, which is where he met his future "brothers"
(they never actually made an oath), he went on to create the kingdom of
Shu with them. His major feat, is when he held off Cao Cao's army at the
battle of Chang Ban, so that Liu Bei, may escape:
"At the sound of this thunderous voice, a terrible quaking fear seized
upon Cao Cao, and he bade them take the umbrella away. Turning to his
followers, he said, "Guan Yu had said that his brother Zhang Fei was the
sort of man to go through an army of a hundred legions and take the head
of its commander-in-chief, and do it easily. Now here is this terror in
front of us and we must be careful." As he finished speaking, again that
terrible voice was heard, 'I am Zhang Fei of Yan; who dares fight with
me?'"
Although depicted as a violent alcoholic, Zhang Fei was actually an
extremely intelligent man, and showed great respect for his superiors,
but the same cannot be said about his inferiors. He later became one of
Shu's five tiger generals.
Musou:
Battle of Hu Lao Gate - Red Hare is a big help here. Charge forward, only
killing a couple of that huge group there, and head up to Xu Rong, kill
him and take the gate which he's by. From there on, take the attack
base, killing anyone in your way, and head to the supply base. Head to
Hu Lao Gate, killing Hu Zhen, when you see him. Take out the gate that
you pass when you first come into the opening, and clear out a ton of
units, including officers: Guo Si, Zhao Cen, Li Jue, Wang Fang, Li Meng
and Gao Shun when he come out. DO NOT KILL THE GATE CAPTAIN BY HU LAO
GATE! LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. Go clear the gate on the other side of the
clearing, where Li Jue is, which can give you quite a bit of kills. When
Lu Bu finally is unleashed, if you're feeling a little brave, charge him.
Wait for the cut scene, and flee, go help Cao Cao defeat Li Ru, and let
your brothers take care of Lu Bu for a while. When you come back, he
should have a sizable portion of his health taken out. Help them take
him on, till your close to death, then just don't risk it, take off. Be
warned, STAY AWAY FROM HIM WHEN HE GLOWS RED OR GOLD, HE WILL KILL YOU IF
HE ATTACKS, EVEN FROM JUST ONE!!!! If you didn't kill him, head up
through Zhang Liao, kill him, listen to the little conversation, and head
for Dong Zhuo. Watch it, he will call for help from Lu Bu, so eliminate
him fast.
Battle of Xia Pi – go forward, and attack the Defense, base, then the
attack base above that (make sure you don't keep your bodyguard around
the attack base, or they'll eventually die, in fact, I suggest that you
command your bodyguard to stay before you go down the flight of stairs).
By the attack base is Yin Li, so kill him too. Now, head back up the
stairs, and kill off Wei Xu, and head into the castle, closing the gate
and killing Diao Chan. Now, as you'll notice, those damn doors won't
open. Damn, so head around the castle, over to the defense base that Cao
Hong is struggling to defeat, and destroy all those pesky bases in that
area, including Song Xian and Hou Cheng, who are to the left of the
defense base. Now, head north, and kill Zang Ba, and the gate up by him.
Next, head east, and kill Cao Xing then Zhang Liao, along with the supply
base. Next, head to Gao Shun, and along with his defeat, is the collapse
of the dam. Now, just head into the castle, slay the soldiers, and kill
(or capture) Lu Bu.
P.S: If you fail to take the dam in time, and Yuan Shu's reinforcements
show up, don't worry, they're in the southeast corner, just go and kill
him.
Battle of Chang Ban – Here is the stuff of Zhang Fei's legends. You
start off on a very historical bridge, the one whose toll for passage, is
death. Kill anyone who attempts to pass the bridge, just stay n' slay,
your one stop shop for carnage and death. After the advancements from the
west stop, if you're feeling brave, you may advance on the gate above
you, and destroy that. Next, move westward, and kill the attack base,
WHILE BEING CAUTIOUS, DO NOT LET ANY TROOPS PAST THAT BRIDGE!!! Watch
out, Cao Zhang arrives with reinforcements, right above the bridges
position. When that area is safe from invasion, head farther west, and
take out the gate and Yu Jin, finishing off with the left-most gate.
Now, the north should be safe for a while, so head south, to Xu Huang's
unit and the supply base, to defeat them. Head farther south to the
defense and attack bases, and destroy them, along with Cao Hong and Jia
Xu (sub-generals: Jia Kui and Yue Jin are there as well). Now, you have
two choices:
-A.) Help Liu Bei escape, in which case, just kill till he reaches the
end, Or
-B.) Go up and kill Cao Cao, ending the battle right there.
Battle of Cheng Du – Start off and charge the gate ahead of you, kill Lei
Tong to open it. Once inside, kill Fei Guan and Deng Xian, and finally
Liu Xun. To the north of the castle is the gate captain, open the
castle's northern gates. Now, move out of the left castle gate, to Li
Yan, kill him and the soldiers in that little area, and then move into
Cheng Du castle. Once Cheng Du is cleared out, head north, and kill
Zhang Ren, if Pang Tong hasn't already died, you just saved him. Now, go
in front of Cheng Du, to clear out Yan Yan and Wu Lan. Eventually, the
inner gates of Cheng Du Castle will open, go inside, clear the gate in
there, and finally defeat Liu Zhang. Ends with a cut scene.
Battle of Fan Castle - This Battle can be Quite Difficult. Begins with a
cut scene. Start off by charging forward, and taking out the defense
base, continue heading forward and take out the supply base, defeating
the gate captain and Sun Li on the way. Now, head forward more, and kill
Jiang Ji, and the gate ahead even more, there is another one just below
Jiang Ji's position, so destroy that too. Head north, and destroy the
two supply bases that are in succession, and head left, destroying that
final one. If the last two defense bases are still standing, take them
out as well. Now, go kill Yu Jin and finally, Pang De (and with his
death, you may now enter Fan Castle). Xu Huang will eventually show up,
so slay him as well. Lu Meng (along with Xu Sheng) will show up when you
meet up with Cao Ren, so now Kill Cao Ren (sub-generals: Yue Jin and Niu
Jin). If you wish, you may ignore Cao Ren, so that you may head for Lu
Meng (Sub-generals: Lu Xun and Jiang Qin).

Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Bronze Pike - 5 power
2nd Weapon – Iron Pike – 11 power
3rd Weapon – Serpent Blade – 17 power
4th Weapon – Viper Blade – 39 power
(Fill 16, Horse 16, Defense 15, Attack 19, Musou 17)
How to get 4th weapon – Battle of Chang Ban – Bring a STRONG bodyguard to
this battle, and command them to Stay at the bridge. Now, successfully
defend your bridge, don't let anyone across. Kill anyone who attempts to
pass the bridge, just stay n' slay, your one stop shop for carnage and
death. After the advancements from the west stop, if you're feeling
brave, you may advance on the gate above you, and destroy that. As Xiahou
Dun and Wen Pin come, slay them. Once Cao Zhang's reinforcements have
arrived, and you've defeated them (of course) go after Xiahou En, Yu
Jin's sub-general. When the three generals are dead, the valuable item
will appear right on the bridge that you defended. Now, just protect Liu
Bei until he escapes, or Kill Cao Cao when he appears.
------------------------------
-Ma Chao
------------------------------
- Eldest son of Ma Teng, he travels the land seeking revenge against
Cao Cao for the death of his father. One of the five tiger generals of
Shu. Note: He is EXCELLENT on a steed; his moves are fantastic for
killing and charging through enemy lines.
Musou:
Battle of Liang Province – Oh My God is this easy. Just kill enemies.
Simple as that. Get a lot of kills, as many as you can, follow the
orders and whatnot at the bottom of the screen, and you'll win easily.
Just fight your way to Dong Zhuo in the bottom of the screen, and you'll
win easily.
Battle of Tong Gate – Like I said for the previous battle, you need a
sizable amount of kills and upgrades for him here. It helps if you have
a horse here. Where you start, tell your bodyguard to stay, that is a
major help to the gate right there. Start killing the enemies in front of
the gate, kill Cao Hong, and take out that attack base. Once that's done,
rush up top and take over those the three bases, (supply, defense and
attack.) As you rush past Cao Cao, just ignore that cut scene. Once the
bases are taken over, kill Jia Xu and Xu Huang, which ends any future
trouble right there. When that's all done and over with, take the path
through the main area where the enemy started, back to tong gate. Take
over the supply base, and kill off Xiahou Yuan, Zhu Ling, Zhang He and Xu
Zhu on your way. When it's all safe, just have fun overtaking gates, till
you work back to Cao Cao.
Battle of Yi Ling - one major thing in this battle: KILL ZHU RAN. DO NOT
LET THE FIRE ATTACK COMMENCE, IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. Rush through enemy
territory, don't risk waiting till the bridge drops, you may be too far
away. Kill Ling Tong and Gan Ning on the way, piece of cake. From there
on, just slay, kill and mutilate till you win. Take care of Lu Xun; he's
a major pain. Watch out for Zhao Yun, as he has a tendency to get killed
here. Another thing, watch out how far out you get, I died a lot in this
battle, and you will too if you don't watch it, so when you go out after
Zhu Ran, try to have a full Musou gauge, a full life bar, and a Musou
rage. Try to have the 3rd or 4th weapon by now, you can get it from the
previous battle. Not too hard.
Battle of Jie Ting – start off by going after Deng Ai, and fight to Cao
Hong, killing Zhen Ji at the same time, and take out the supply base to
the east. Fight into the middle of the map, killing Fei Yao and Wang
Lang. If Sima Yi gets too annoying for you, just charge him and kill
him, but take off fast, cause Ma Su needs help. Fight up to Ma Su, Kill
Cao Zhen and his two sub generals, Zhang Hu and Xin Pi (Zhang Hu starts
on the path that you should take to Ma Su.) and save Ma Su. When that's
over with, fight to Zhang He, and then go kill Cao Pi.
Battle of Bai Di Castle – Start off by charging to Zhou Tai, he becomes a
major pain in the ass, and yes, I shouldn't have to say this by now, but
kill Xu Sheng (PUT HIM IN THE NEXT DW KOEI) on the way. When the peasants
appear, go and save them, that's a major boost for ally morale. Make
sure Jiang Wei doesn't die, and when Gan Ning shows up, take care of him,
so he doesn't take care of Bai Di Castle. Other then that, have fun
killing and saving generals and troops.
Attacks:
Charge: Spins on his spear, finishes by leaping into air and landing.
Jumping Charge: Jumps, and flies forward, twirling, and spinning his
spear with him. (Good for knocking people off of horses.)
S: Slashes forward.
S2: Slashes forward, then spins and attacks with butt of spear.
S3: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, then turns
back around and slashes again.
S4: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, turns back
around and slashes again, then slashes once more.
S5: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, turns back
around and slashes again, slashes once more then slashes downwards.
S6: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, turns back
around and slashes again, slashes once more, slashes downwards, then
stabs forwards.
(Can trigger an evolution attack.)
C1: Slashes, spins and does an uppercut slash.
C2: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, then stabs a
couple time, doing multiple combo attacks with each stab, and finishes
with a 360 attack.
C3: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, turns back
around and slashes again then finishes with one stab.
C4: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, turns back
around and slashes again, slashes once more then finishes with whirlwind.
C5: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, turns back
around and slashes again, slashes once more slashes downwards then spins,
emitting a blue beam, which stuns enemies.
Musou: continuously stamps forward, twirling spear, then switching arms.
Finishes with a spin on the spear (like the Musou) jumps down and slashes
forward with spear.
True Musou: Same as Musou, except finishes by falling to ground, and
jumping back up, creating a teal whirlwind, knocking enemies into air.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Iron Spear - 5 power
2nd Weapon - Stallion Spear - 10 power
3rd Weapon - Silver Stallion - 16 power
4th Weapon - Stallion Fury - 38 power
(20 Horse, Speed 15, Defense 16, Attack 17, Life 15)
How to get 4th weapon - Battle of Tong Gate - This is pretty easy, and
fast. Just run over to Cao Cao, knock him off the horse, (you'll run into
a cut scene with Xu Zhu stopping you) and hit him a few times. When this
is done, a valuable item will appear up top, near a base. On your way,
take the two unoccupied bases, and watch out for Xu Huang. Attack Cao Cao
as he comes up, and if he starts to run, chase him down and kill him.
Extremely easy.

------------------------------
- A master archer, this old man one served Hua Xuan. Now serving under
Liu Bei, he is one of Shu's five tiger generals. He is the reason of
Xiahou Yuan's death, and lived to a ripe old age.
Musou:
Battle of Cheng Du – Rush into the forest, and kill any ambushes, should
the get in your way. Rush over to Zhang Ren (an ambush appears as you
ride up), and kill him, to prevent Pang Tong's death (Hell, if you do it
before he dies, you get a valuable item! [The Hex Mark Saddle]). Now, you
may go back into the forest, and kill the rest of the ambushes that
appear (Liu Hans, Leng Bao's and Zhang Yi's ambush), and clear the three
gates within the forest. Next, move to the eastern gate of Cheng Du
castle, and slay everyone in the area outside of it, then move inside the
castle, slaying everyone within. By now, Zhang Fei and//or Zhao Yun
should have reached and opened the southern gate, so wait for the inner
castle gate to open, move in, kill the gate up top, then take care of Liu
Zhang.
Battle of Mt. Ding Jun – Head forward, and kill the gate captain (a pot
with a Musou wine is next to the gate) and Xiahou Shang. Now, take out
the supply base, and Xiahou De, who is right next to the base. Now, that
Mount Tian Dang has been captured, a cut scene will play, (which seems
familiar if you played this battle with a Wei officer) and march north,
to where Zhao Yun is, and take the defense base ahead of him. Cao Xiu is
right on the other side of it, so kill him as well. Li Dian is next, and
then head for Zhang He (rush past Xiahou Yuan to kill Zhang He first,
because Zhang He will interfere in that fight sometimes), then kill off
Xiahou Yuan, and finally, the attack base. If Yue Jin hasn't been
defeated, go after him too. Now, (if Cao Zhang hasn't been killed, take
him out as well) head up to the enemy main camp, and kill Guo Huai, and
wait for Cao Cao, and his "Liu Bei you Bastard" Comment, and slay Cao
Cao. Sweet, huh?
Conquest of Nan Zhong – Head forward, and take out the defense base and
go to the center of the attack//defense base, and kill King Mulu. Now, if
the attack base hasn't been conquered yet, go help with that. Kill Meng
Huo when he appears again, and head down to Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Na, kill
them, and then to the (Right on the map, Left coming from the top) there
is a secretive path, its noticeable by a hole in the wall covered by a
tree. Now, head over there, past Wei Yan, and take down the attack base
ahead of him, making the swamp travelable, kill Meng Huo as he reappears.
Kill king Duosi, Jinhuan Sanjie, and move into the next large area. To
the top of the large area, is another secret path, take that to kill Meng
Huo, who has raided Ma Su. Now take down the attack base, hit pots to
make them explode and to make killing those armor troops easier. To end
the Armor Troop assault, kill Wu Tugu, and if you feel like it, his sub-
officer, Mang Yachang. Kill Meng Huo, as he reappears... again... Now,
kill Zhu Rong as she rushes the area, and Dalai Dongzhu and Yang Feng's
reinforcements, and take the next hidden path (in the bottom of that same
area) to the bottom path, and pincer the Defense base. Now, move onto
the Supply base, take Meng Huo out for last time(s), and move onto the
main camp, Take him out one last time, and you beat the stage.
Battle of Chen Cang – Charge forward into the field, and kill all of the
sub officers, whom are: Wang Shuang, Fei Yao and Zhang Hu. Just keep on
clearing enemies out here for a little while, and then head over to
Xiahou Wei, who is in front of the gate with the spinning defense on the
left side of the map. Stay over there, and kill off the rest of the
troops on that side, then head back to the center, and kill them off for
awhile. Xiahou Ba should be in the center by now and Xiahou Hui will
eventually show up too, so you can kill him off. Reinforcements (Cao Xiu)
will appear in the bottom left, so go rush to them, and rescue the troops
there. A fire arrow unit will appear, so quickly dispose of them as
well. Cao Hong will appear in the southeast with reinforcements, so kill
him, and them, off quickly. From there, charge north through the
mountain path, watching out for the ambush (multiple ambushes if the
units there haven't made it too far). When you get to the top of the
mountain, another ambush should appear in the bottom left. On your way
down the mountain, to save them, Guo Huai should show up on the bottom
right, so kill him, then rush over to the right, (killing Xu Zhu's
reinforcements, who appear in the center) and kill off Cao Zhen to save
them, again. On the way there, if Zhang He (who is now in the center)
hasn't been killed, take him out. Charge into the castle in the now
destroyed gate, and kill Hao Zhao, Cao Ren, Wang Lang and finally, Sima
Yi (and his sub officers, Jia Kui and Sima Zhao).
Battle of Bai Di Castle – Head forward, and attack the gate ahead of you.
Now move on to the enemy supply base (Defeating Zhu Huan and Quan Zong on
the way) to the south. Huang Gai should rush there, so kill him, and the
gate at the very tip of the southeast corner. Move on to the attack base
to the left, behind Huang Gai's starting position. Now, move on to Sun
Shao, taking out the gate on the way. Now, move up to Ma Chao, and help
him save the Peasant Militia, kill Jiang Qin when you see him. Zhou Tai
will eventually work his way down to you, so kill him as well, and that
saves the militia. Now, move over the the attack base on the right (Han
Dang is there, kill him), then go back after Ding Feng. Take out Zhuge
Luo and the base in the bottom left corner, then move up to Lu Xun, who
is at the top, and has probably worn off the effects of the Stone
Sentinel Maze by now. Kill Lu Xun, and head back down the way you came
up, killing Pan Zhang on the way. Go after Gan Ning's troops, who have
appeared at the bottom right, and prevent him from entering the castle.
Now, go after the supply bases on top (if they haven't already been), Sun
Quan reappears on bottom, so go after him, kill him, and you win.
Attacks:
Charge: Shoots multiple arrows from a crossbow multiple times. Keep
pressing triangle to make attack longer. This move is spectacular, a
great crowd clearer, and just screams abuse me.

air, shoots arrows from crossbow at the ground.
S: Slashes left.
S2: Slashes left, then slashes right.

normal charge, ending with a set of arrows with yellow energy surrounding
them. Keep pressing triangle to make attack longer.
C3: Slashes left, slashes right, stabs forward, then does a 360-spin
attack, usually triggering Musou.
C4: Slashes left, slashes right, stabs forward, slashes diagonally, then
hauls off and slams ground with weapon, creating an explosion.
C5: Slashes left, slashes right, stabs forward, slashes diagonally,
slashes left once more, and then does two 360-spin attacks.
Musou: spins around and around in a 360 spin attack fashion continuously,
and finishes by one final slash forward, stumbling forward when that's
done.
True Musou: spins around and around, in a 360 spin attack fashion
continuously, and finishes by knocking enemy into the air, shooting an
arrow about 2 feet in front of him, and the arrow explodes just as the
enemy (enemies) hit the ground, sending them flying.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - War Sword - 4 power
2nd Weapon – Veteran Sword – 8 power
3rd Weapon – Sage Sword – 12 power
4th Weapon – Oracle Sword – 36 power
(Fill 18, Horse 15, Bow 20, Defense 15, Musou 15)
How to get fourth weapon – Battle of Mt. Ding Jun – Hurry up and kill
Xiahou De (kill a lot of the units around him, a Musou Rage appears), and
rush down the mountains upper right side path, to Xiahou Yuan. Watch out
for him, he's super charged, and quite annoying, and you need to kill him
within three minutes of the capture of Mt. Ding Jun (kill a lot of units
around him as well, two Musou rages should appear). Now, after Xiahou
Yuan dies, a valuable item will appear near Zhao Yun, ignore that, it's
an item (Way of the Musou), not a weapon. Go on to kill Zhang He before
Cao Cao arrives. When Cao Cao finally arrives, the valuable item will
appear at the bottom of the hill that you rode down on, after Xiahou
Yuan. Now, just get your weapon, and ride up to Cao Cao, and kill him.

Bodyguards - Who's Got Your Back?
__________________________________________________________________
Bodyguards are an essential part of the Dynasty Warriors Series. On
countless occasions, this game and past, they have saved my ass from
ruin, as well as saved the map.
You start the game with 4 bodyguards, Liu Ren, Cao Wu, Sun Chun and Lu
Hua, all C rated officers, and yes, they suck. But, have no fear, there
are more to recruit. Notice that there are 8 slots for potential
bodyguards, and you can fire those awful officers later on.
Now bodyguards fall under 4 categories:
Veteran - Starts strong, but their stat growth is restricted
Remarkable - Starts average, and growth is average
Brilliant - Starts low, and growth is significant
Superior - Starts high, and growth is significant (the best, obviously)
And these categories fall under another 4 categories, this guarantees
growth in four attributes, Attack, Musou, Defense and Life:
C - One of the four attributes grow rapidly (known in one kingdom)
B - Two of the four attributes grow rapidly (known in two kingdoms)
A - Three of the four attributes grow rapidly (Known in three kingdoms)
S - Four of the four attributes grow rapidly (Known throughout the land)
Bodyguards can have a total of 6 weapons, Spears, Swords, Bows,
Crossbows, Fans and Staffs (magic rod, these units are also spectacular
defense) this has a lot to do with your fighting type, for people like Lu
Bu, it might be better to get someone with a sword, or spear, so when the
combined Musou is set off, they both attack the same circle. Huang Zhong
or Xiahou Yuan might use a crossbow or Bow unit, so their long-range
attack nails in numbers. I'll get more into this later.
The bodyguard also differs from DW4 by its level up system. Kills no
longer mean the only experience, yes they still do count with experience,
but even if they get none they gain some. Yes, confusing, I know, but
this is how it is.
But, there is good news; Officers can now obtain skills and attributes!
Another list here people:
Attributes:
-Fire (causes more damage when hit)
-Ice (freezes enemy, so you can hit)
-Ying (Light Attacks)
-Yang (Dark Attacks, uses Musou for chance of automatic death)
Skills:
-Heal (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 3) (*One of three*~!)
The bodyguard will heal them self, and you if in distance, when health is
low.
-Rage (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 3) (*One of three*~!)
When health is low, their attack power will double.
-Wall (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 3) (*One of three*~!)
When health is low, defense will double.
-Fame (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 5) (*One of three*~~#)
Players army's morale is less likely to decrease.
-Link (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 5) (*One of three*~~#)
Less powerful attacks can wield more powerful weapons.
-Hire (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 5) (*One of three*~~#)
After battle, bodyguard is guaranteed to join.
-Item (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 6, can be rare, if stat
growth is incomplete by this time, this will not be learned) (*One of
two*~~~@) One extra item is guaranteed when battle is over.
-Find (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 6, can be rare, if stat
growth is incomplete by this time, this will not be learned) (*One of
two*~~~@) One extra weapon is guaranteed when battle is over.
Levels are increased with, as you guessed it, experience! Here's another
fun little information session.
Level increasing:
Level Two - 1000exp
Level Three - 2000exp
Level Four - 4000exp
Level Five - 7000exp
Level Six - 10000exp
The select button, as mentioned in the Controls - How to Direct Your
Dynasty Warrior section above. The sword is attack, attack any and all
troops near you, the shield is defend, kill anyone who touches you or
touched you, and the hand is stay, they remain in one area, and kill
anyone in range.
The last one, stay, is extremely helpful. When I was playing Cao Pi's
Musou, mission 4, Battle of Wu Zhang Plains, I commanded the officer to
stay at the right hand defense station at the peak of enemy attacks, (she
was strong by the way) she staved off the entire force for a long time,
she lived the entire battle as well, I even called her down to help me
take care of Jiang Wei.
As mentioned before as well, a Musou teeming bodyguard can also boost
your Musou power, instead of normal, you now use your True Musou (True
Musou: only usable with an item, or when your life is in the red, and
Musou is automatically filling.)
Extra tidbit of information:
The bodyguard's color depends on your affiliation.
Wu officers: Red
Wei officers: Blue
Shu officers: Green
Unaligned officer colors are all different as well.
Lu Bu: White
Diao Chan, Dong Zhuo, Zhu Rong, Meng Huo: Purple
Yuan Shao, Zhang Jiao: Yellow
Zuo Ci: Green
P.S. didn't think of anywhere above to put this, but bodyguards are
gained randomly, every time you beat a battle, there is a chance of
obtaining one, no set way to get one, or a certain leveled one.

-Sun Ce
------------------------------
- Son of Sun Jian, became ruler of Wu at 17 after his father died.
Nicknamed "Little Conqueror" for the success on expanding the territory
of Wu. Sworn brother of Zhou Yu.
Musou:
The Yellow Turban Rebellion – Head forward, and kill Yan Zheng, and even
farther ahead, Zhang Man Cheng. Take the path to the left, and kill Zhang
Bao, go down, and take out the attack base (if it already hasn't been.)
Now, head back to the area that you killed Zhang Man Cheng and Yan Zheng
in, and take the right path, to Zhang Liang, (to avoid the tornados) and
kill him. If you feel like it, go after He Yi as well, by taking the
path on the left of the castle. Now, inside the castle, and on top of
the altar, are four weird looking torches, with energy emanating from
then, destroy them all, to find the true one, which will stop the phantom
troops. Now, seek and kill Zhang Jiao.
Battle of Si Shui Gate – go forward and kill Fan Chou, and all of the
soldiers in the area before the defense base, which is well over 100,
because I got 100 kills in less then a minute. Now, take over the defense
base, and head into the middle, and kill all of the officers in there,
which are Guo Si (sub officers: Xu Rong and Li Meng), Jia Xu and Dong
Min. Ji Jue's sub officer, Li Su is also at the top left of that area,
so kill him too, and don't forget the attack base in the center. When
the call goes out to defeat the Defense base up top, stop whatever you
are doing, and go defeat the base fast, then rush back to what you were
doing. Zhao Cen will show up as your fighting your way to the Si Shui
Gate, so kill him off as well. Lu Bu will show up from the gate too, and
he's strong, but not unbeatable, just take your time and slowly take him
out, but watch out, when he turns yellow, two swipes can take you out.
If you don't defeat him in time, and your allies are forced to go around
the gate, then head down and take care of the supply base, and Li Ru.
When Lu Bu is finally dead, (and the second route is clear) go into the
base, take out enemies at leisure, and finally kill Hua Xiong.
Battle of Jing Province – Note: To follow my walkthrough here, you need
Red Hare. Right off the bat, charge Huang Zu, don't let him get close to
Sun Jian, and If he does, then kill him before he gets close to the
castle. Now that Sun Jian has been saved, go into the center, and
decimate the attack and supply base, and kill Cai Mao. Now that the
bases have been taken down, and the main door has opened, move inside and
crush Kuai Liang, move over to Lu Gong (who's death triggers the opening
of the outer eastern gate) leave the castle, killing many soldiers as you
can. By now, the reinforcements have arrived, and you SHOULD be on the
right side of the map, so head for Chen Sheng, and kill him and his
troops. Head out Shang Xiang if she hasn't broken through the defense
base by now as well. Now, move back on to the inner castle, and
eventually the inner sanctum (where Liu Biao is) kill off the soldiers,
and finally, Biao himself.
Battle for the Wu Territory – Head forward, and capture the neutral base.
Continue heading forward, charging through the area, to the next neutral
base, procuring that as well. Then head back, to where Chen Heng and
Wang Lang (sub officer: Zhou Xin) are, and slay them, capturing that
area. Now that all of them have been killed, chances are that Sun Quan
has been caught in the trap already, so rush over to his aid, save him,
by killing all of the officers in that base, which are: Fan Neng and Yu
Mi. As your wrapping that up, Zhou Yu should have finished of Yan Baihu
and Xue Li up top, allowing you to move on to the bottom base, from which
Liu Yong has fled from, and Taishi Ci holds the key to battle. Move on to
the defense base in the southeast corner, and move on to the castle, kill
Taishi Ci (a cut scene occurs) and finish the battle. Side Note: watch
out, Taishi Ci is a pain in the ass.
The Trials of Sun Ce – Charge ahead, attack Yu Ji, and kill the phantom.
Some dialogue, and four phantom Yu Ji's appear, kill them as well.
Phantom soldiers appear, and since you can't do anything about them,
ignore them on your quest to continue killing all of the Yu Ji's that
appear. After about the sixth phantom you kill, the phantom soldiers
disappear, but now your own soldiers have been turned against you, so
regretfully, kill them. after about 50 KO's, four MORE phantoms appear,
this bastard's really starting to get old. He now makes your wife (Da
Qiao) and your father (Sun Jian) and they aren't here to help you. Kill
them two off, and watch the cut scene. A lot more Yu Ji phantoms appear
(8, I think), so slay them all, and watch out, he's making them stronger.
To deal with them, attack groups of soldiers to get your Musou up, and
keep using it on him, a couple Musou rage tokens appear, so use them up
as they come. He keeps getting stronger, the pain in the ass. Yu Ji
finally appears! You can tell the real one by the extra long health bar,
and the lightning that is emitted from his body. When you finally kill
him, the battle ends, Phew. It's a tiny battle, and relatively easy, but
it sure is annoying.
Battle of Xia Kou – Starts with a cut scene, then head forward, destroy
the attack base, Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, Lu Gong, the supply base, then
head to the southwest, defeating the defense base. As soon as you are in
the base, rush past everyone, to Cai Mao, and kill him, defending the
main base from his fleet. Now, go after Wen Pin, the supply base inside
the enemy's base, and the defense base to the left. Go after Gan Ning
and the attack base on the far left, then head up after Huang Zu.
Attacks:
Charge: Stamps the ground, knocking enemies down. It does not do good
damage at all, but it is useful for making escapes, and getting ready to
nail the enemy.
Jumping Charge: jumps air, stays in one spot while flips, and slams his
tonfas into the ground, making a shock around him.
S: Swings tonfa right.
S2: Swings tonfa right, then left.
S3: Swings tonfa right, then left, then stabs both forward.
S4: Swings tonfa right, then left, stabs both forward, and then does a
roundhouse kick.
S5: Swings tonfa right, then left, stabs both forward, performs a
roundhouse kick, and then a diagonal slash (left to right) with the
tonfa.
S6: Swings tonfa right, then left, stabs both forward, performs a
roundhouse kick, then a slashes diagonally (left to right) with the
tonfa, and then leaps into the air and kicks forward.
(Evolution attack triggered, if acquired)
C1: Swings tonfa right, then does a backward flip with a kick.
C2: Swings tonfa right, then left, then repeating smacks with the tonfa,
finishing by leaping forward with a roundhouse kick. Keep pressing
triangle to make attack longer.
C3: Swings tonfa right, then left, stabs both forward, and then spins,
charges tonfa, and spins again, this time attacking with tonfa.
C4: Swings tonfa right, then left, stabs both forward, performs a
roundhouse kick, and then throws body and arm forward, making an
explosion. Great crowd clearer.
C5: Swings tonfa right, then left, stabs both forward, performs a
roundhouse kick, then a slashes diagonally (left to right) with the
tonfa, then stabs continuously with tonfa's, left then right, and
finishes with one final charged stab forward. Keep pressing triangle for
a longer attack.
Musou: Spins tonfa in his hand, spins around, then spins tonfa around in
his hand with opposite hand continuously, finishes by spinning the tonfas
around in his hands, and jumps into the air, spinning around.
True Musou: Spins tonfa in his hand, spins around, then spins tonfa
around in his hand with opposite hand continuously, finishes by jumping
back, emitting a blue shock wave, and then leaping forward, creating a
giant explosion.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon – Tonfa – 4 power
2nd Weapon – Studded Tonfa – 8 power
3rd Weapon – Conqueror – 12 power
4th Weapon – Overlord – 36 power
(Charge 15, Speed 18, Attack 18, Musou 15, Life 15)
How to get fourth weapon – The Trials of Sun Ce – Head forward, and
defeat the Yu Ji. Now, attack the phantoms Yu Ji's, until you find the
real one, and the Phantom Soldiers are summoned. Keep fighting the
phantom Yu Ji's, ignoring the soldiers, and they will eventually
disappear, but your soldiers will appear, and they are against your. Now,
Kill 50 of your soldiers, and more Yu Ji's will appear. When they are
defeated, Sun Jian and Da Qiao will appear, and on Yu Ji's side, even
worse. Kill them, and continue to fight the phantoms. If you aren't that
good of a fighter, save now, and continue saving from now on, every time
you defeat a Yu Ji. Multiple Phantom Yu Ji's will now appear, and you
must kill them all, and watch out, he makes them progressively stronger,
but Musou Rage tokens appear a couple of times. BE CAREFUL! Don't kill
the real Yu Ji; you'll know him by the near 2 bars of health. If you
killed all of these within 10 minutes of the stages beginning, the
valuable item will appear in the north quadrant, on the left side of the
gate.
------------------------------
-Sun Jian
------------------------------
- Nicknamed "The Tiger of Jiang Dong," Sun Jian first gained recognition
when he outsmarted a band of pirates at age 17. Gaining even more
recognition in The Yellow Turban Rebellion and in the campaign against
Dong Zhuo, he set in motion the power of the Sun family, which would
later become one of the Three Kingdoms.
Musou:
The Yellow Turban Rebellion – I hope you have, and are on red hare by
now. Charge up, past Sun Ce, Huang Gai and Han Dang, and kill Yan Zheng,
and even farther ahead, Zhang Man Cheng. Take the path to the left, and
kill Zhang Bao, go down, and take out the attack base (if it already
hasn't been.) Now, head back to the area that you killed Zhang Man Cheng
and Yan Zheng in, and take the right path, to Zhang Liang, (to avoid the
tornados) and kill him. If you feel like it, go after He Yi as well, by
taking the path on the left of the castle. Now, inside the castle, and
on top of the altar, are four weird looking torches, with energy
emanating from then, destroy them all, to find the true one, which will
stop the phantom troops. Now, seek and kill Zhang Jiao.
Battle of Si Shui Gate - go forward and kill Fan Chou, and all of the
soldiers in the area before the defense base, which is well over 100,
because I got 100 kills in less then a minute. Now, take over the defense
base, and head into the middle, and kill all of the officers in there,
which are Guo Si (sub officers: Xu Rong and Li Meng), Jia Xu and Dong
Min. Ji Jue's sub officer, Li Su is also at the top left of that area,
so kill him too, and don't forget the attack base in the center. When
the call goes out to defeat the Defense base up top, stop whatever you
are doing, and go defeat the base fast, then rush back to what you were
doing. Zhao Cen will show up as your fighting your way to the Si Shui
Gate, so kill him off as well. Lu Bu will show up from the gate too, and
he's strong, but not unbeatable, just take your time and slowly take him
out, but watch out, when he turns yellow, two swipes can take you out.
If you don't defeat him in time, and your allies are forced to go around
the gate, then head down and take care of the supply base, and Li Ru.
When Lu Bu is finally dead, (and the second route is clear) go into the
base, take out enemies at leisure, and finally kill Hua Xiong.
(side note: if you employ the gate KO trick, you can get a lot of KO's
from this battle, from the gates at the bottom left, and the top right,
no AI officers bother to take these out.)
Battle of Jing Province – Head forth, and kill Huang Zu, that bastard
normally kills you, but not this time. Kill him before he gets to the
western gate of the castle, then just attack till get to that western
gate, then turn away, and go and help in the middle. Destroy the attack
and supply base, and kill Cai Mao. Now that the bases have been taken
down, and the main door has opened, move inside and crush Kuai Liang,
move over to Lu Gong (who's death triggers the opening of the outer
eastern gate) leave the castle, killing many soldiers as you can. By now,
the reinforcements have arrived, and you SHOULD be on the right side of
the map, so head for Chen Sheng, and kill him and his troops. Head out
Shang Xiang if she hasn't broken through the defense base by now as well.
Now, move back on to the inner castle, and eventually the inner sanctum
(where Liu Biao is) kill off the soldiers, and finally, Biao himself.
Battle of Chi Bi – head forward, and take out the gate and defeat Wen Pin
a Xun You. You started off near an entry point to the ships, so take
that, and go right two ships, up one, and right one more, above that is a
bridge, kill Cai Mao, to destroy the bridge. Next, fight your way over
to Wang Lang (Cao Hong's sub general), and kill him, destroying the other
bridge. Now, just fight your way around, protecting Zhuge Liang and
Huang Gai most of all, and wait until the fire attack proceeds. Until
then, you might want to take out Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao, possibly
even Zhen Ji. When the fire attack commences, go up the left side of the
map, and fight your way around, finishing off Cao Pi, and any other
officers who haven't been defeated yet, finally finishing off with Cao
Cao.
Battle of He Fei - start off by rushing the defense base in the center of
the map (straight ahead of you). Man Chong should be inside the base, so
take him out as well. When you're done, head outside the base and take
care of Niu Jin and Pang De (Niu Jin first, cause he'll run when Pang De
is defeated). While fighting them, Cao Zhang should show up with
reinforcements, so feel free to take him out as well. Now, take out the
gates that are right below the defense base. Zhang Liao's ambush should
have shown up by now, so rush over there and take him out, and save Sun
Quan from the arrogant bastard. Next, head for the supply base above the
defense base you defeated, then go for the next defense base to the left
of the defeated defense base you conquered, the one right above where Xu
Huang's ambush. Now, go south, and take out the supply base, Xu Huang and
Yue Jin, along with the gate and soldiers, of course. By now, Xiahou Dun
and Cao Hong's reinforcement units have shown up, along with the annoying
Zhang Liao, take them out, along with Li Dian and Yu Jin who up there as
well, and don't forget the defense base and two supply bases up top,
along with taking out the supply base below He Fei Castle on the way.
Head back to the southwest, and defeat Zhang Liao who appeared once more
to the bottom, and head to the top. Take Zhang Liao out one last time,
and defeat Cao Cao.
Battle of Yi Ling - Charge forward to the supply base ahead of you, and
just have fun killing until Zhu Ran is ready to initiate the fire attack.
When Wu Lan, Guan Suo, Ma Dai, Guan Xing and Li Yan get in your way, slay
them. The death of Li Yan will trigger Liao Hua to attack you, take him
out as well. Hurry up to Zhu Ran when the bridge layers activate, to
protect him, and make sure the fire attack is carried out. Keep
fighting, and charge through the stone sentinel maze*, and seek out Liu
Bei's main base. Now, you can do one of two things, just kill Liu Bei
(Cut scene occurs when you get within range of him) and get it over with,
or have fun and slay the rest of the officers and troops on the screen.
I choose, and recommend the latter, as because Zhuge Liang is a major
pain in the ass. Have fun.
(*Note: easy way through the maze, follow the enemy troops, if you keep
running into fresh troops, your doing good.)
Battle of He Fei Castle – Go down a little bit, and to the left, and
charge ahead and defeating the gate captain, watch out, troops appear
from behind and may attack you by surprise. Storm into the castle, and
kill Wen Pin, and go north, taking out Wang Lang. Go around the castle,
to the inner castle, and take out Xiahou Shang and Cao Hong on the way.
In the castle, kill Cao Zhen, Cao Ren and if you feel like venturing
farther north, Xu Zhu. But, first, take out the catapult's Defense
captains (who are on top of the castle walls, on each side of the inner
castles front gate). If you accidentally jump, fall or are knocked over
the wall (for example, you knock Cao Zhen over the wall on accident and
jump over cause you are not letting that bastard escape O=) Ahem,) just
wait at the front gate, by the ram, and wait for the door to open, it
shouldn't take too long. Next, fight through the western indirect route
into the castle (where Cao Zhang is//was), and route the troops over
there, and if you see Zhen Ji, get rid of her. Now, leave out of the
side of the castle, and go down, and right, past the outer castle's main
gate, over to the ships, and seek out Cao Rui, Man Chong and the Task
Leaders. Next, head up to Sima Yi and (Zhen Ji if she wasn't down below)
Cao Pi, and kill them.
Battle of Bai Di Castle – Go ahead, up towards Huang Zhong (taking out a
few of those pesky Peasant militia's on the way, easy kills), killing his
two sub-officers (Yan Yan and Wang Ping) before finally killing him.
After killing Huang Zhong, take the path to the right of his location
(before he died), down to the Attack base and Gate. Take those out, and
kill troops for a little while, don't venture out too far, stay away from
Xing Cai for now. Now, when Ma Chao shows up, head back to the allied
main camp, and kick his ass, but watch out he's pissed off and super
charged. When that's done, head north, and take out the stone sentinel
maze (do this by going around the map, clockwise (top to right to bottom
then up into the middle) and smashing the golden statue. This will
trigger "maze guardians" to appear, kill them and the maze will bust wide
open. Now, head back down to the ally base, and head east, destroying the
Supply base, Attack base, Liao Hua, Guan Suo and Guan Xing, not
forgetting the gate in the bottom right of the map. Allied
reinforcements will show up (Gan Ning) and you may head north, entering
the castle from the east. Destroy the Supply base directly behind, and
head into the castle, watch out for the arbalests. If Jiang Wei hasn't
been defeated yet, take him out, and watch for Yue Ying's reinforcements,
and Xing Cai storms into the castle, extremely pissed off. Kill them,
along with Liu Chan, and you win.

body.
C4: Slashes right, slashes left, slashes right once more, left once more,
and then steps forward, and makes a stance, creating a huge explosion.

off, and stamping ground, creating a giant explosion.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon – Tiger Sword – 4 power
2nd Weapon – Tiger Claw – 8 power
3rd Weapon – Lone Tiger – 12 power
4th Weapon – Savage Tiger – 34 power
(Fill 18, Horse 16, Defense 16, Musou 15, Life 15)
How to obtain fourth weapon – Battle of Si Shui Gate – Charge ahead, and
get through the defense base ahead of you, and go up to the defense base
on the left, in the upper right hand corner. Defeat that, and fight your
way over to Si Shui Gate. When Lu Bu appears, kill him within five
minutes of his appearance. Pointers, since this is one of the latter
people you get, you should have high leveled Peacock amulets, tiger
amulets and turtoise amulets, use them. When I obtained this, I only had
three item slots, seeing as I only played two battles with Sun Jian.
Make sure you have a Musou rage token, try to get the defense//attack
X2's, and watch out for when he turns yellow. There is a Full Heal on
the left side of the bridges, heading down to the long way around Si
Shui, so if you need it, use it, and once you have Lu Bu's health down to
one bar, save. When that's done, the valuable item will appear right in
front of the Si Shui Gate. When that's done, you can choose to either
slay, kill and maim, or just head straight for Hua Xiong.

supply base. Keep fighting left, and et to the dam and kill Guan Ping in
a hurry, and Guan Suo on the way. When the water attack has been
thwarted, just head south, defeating the supply base next to the damn
first, then on to the defense base. Fight to the right, all the way
through the defense base, and two supply bases, killing Meng Da on the
way, if he hasn't already charged at you. Cut scene shows, Wu
reinforcements show up, just keep going. Basically from the water attack
on, it's extremely simple, just fight and kill. Finish Guan Yu to end
the battle.
Battle of Jie Ting – Head to the center, and take out Zhang Bao, Gao
Xiang and Liao Hua, and any other troops in your way. Use your Charge
attack, as it's an effective crowd clearer. When that's all over with,
if you have the time, and feel like killing a lot more, head through the
top way to Ma Su, and if not, just kill Ma Su right there, taking out
Jian Yong on the way. When they're dead, just use a pincer attack on the
troops up top. When the summit has been taken, ride the bridge down to
where Wang Ping is stationed, and take him, and his sub general Guan Xing
out. Eliminate the gate as well. Jiang Wei should have charged you by
now, so defeat him, then rush over to help defeat Wei Yan and Ma Dai
(ignore Xing Cai, shes useless anyway), as per the instructions. On your
way back (Zhuge Liangs shown up by now) defeat Ma Chao, and if you feel
like it, kill Xing Cai. Defeat Zhuge, and you win.
Battle of Chen Cang – Rush forward out of the base, and take down the
enemy's gate, and kill Zhang Yi and Liao Hua. After fighting enemies on
the wall for about 20 seconds, jump down, and make quick work of Zhang
Bao and Guan Xing. Be careful not to get overwhelmed too fast. When
they're dead, quickly head to the top right of the castle, where Fei Yao
is getting overwhelmed by enemy forces, and eliminate all those peons.
Gao Xiang should be there, kill him, and fight your way out of the gate,
and over to Wang Ping. Kill him. Continue fighting your way down the
mountain path destroying any rams on the way, and you'll run across Ma
Dai and Wei Yan, kill them, and head down to the Defense base on the
bottom right. Defeat that and it will end all those annoying damn siege
weapons. Watch out for the enemy reinforcements, it's not a large force;
they're mostly just annoying. Fight your way through the defense base in
the middle (that will stop siege ramps), to help defend the main gate of
the castle, from Huang Zhong and Yan Yan. Kill Yue Ying and Chen Shi on
the way. But, by the time you get to Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang should
have showed up already, so just kill him, and you win.
Battle of Wu Zhang Plains – Start off by charging the two attack bases in
the center, and eliminating as many troops as possible (might be smarter
to defeat the right one first, seeing as how you have to go left next).
Listen to Sima Yi's instructions, and rush over to help Zhong Hui into
the castle, those catapults are a major help, do not let them slip away.
After his safety has been assured, rush to the middle gate on the right
side of the map, and defeat any of the wood ox you see on the way. Kill
the defense captain, and take over the base while you're at it. Fight
your way up, taking over the defense base and the gate up top, and move
out middle, helping any base that might need it. Kill Ma Dai and Wei
Yan. Go after Wang Ping, and kill any troops that might have made it
past an attack base. When the cut scene plays, rush the center, but
watch out, another cut scene will play, and you'll have to destroy the
arbalests. Once they're gone, victory is almost assured, only way to
lose, is die. Go after Yue Ying, destroy the Task Force, and then kill
Jiang Wei.
Battle of He Fei Castle – to start off, go around the castle walls, take
either left or right, it doesn't matter, just get to the front main gate.
When there, the ram should have appeared by now, destroy it. If not,
have patience; kill some troops whilst you wait. Once it's gone, go on a
killing spree, you're free to do so for a while, kill Taishi Ci or Cheng
Pu. Now, a New Ram and the Wu navy will have showed up by now, Take down
the ram first (which is on the enemy ship), then attack the Wu navy,
which consists of Pan Zhang (Dong Xi) and Jiang Qin (Chen Wu). When the
enemy on the hill attacks, the Wei army mobilizes, as the army gets
pissed off and rushes at Sun Quan. Go after Lu Xun, he has entered the
castle's left wing by now, and the army is heading at him (cut scene), so
pincer him, and kill him. Then go after Sun Quan. Kill Zhou Tai, take
over the gate on his ship, go after Sun Quan and you've won.

How to get fourth weapon – Battle of Chen Cang – Rush down to the defense
base all the way on the bottom right. While defeating the gate guard for
that base, Wei Yan gets in the way, so just kill him, that'll save a lot.
Now, take that base. Move to the middle base, while taking that out,
Jiang Wei gets in the way; dispose of him as you did Wei Yan. When that
base is out of the way, take care of that last base, on the bottom left,
Huang Zhong is in the way of that one, so, just let Déjà vu set in, and
you'll be set. The valuable item will appear in the castle, around where
you started. Don't forget to grab the weapon before you kill Zhuge.

-Cao Cao
------------------------------
- Ruler of Wei, nicknamed "The Hero of Chaos" Cao Cao led many successful
campaigns against leaders and rulers. He gained most of his recognition
in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the campaign against Dong Zhuo.
Usurped the power of the imperial court to his advantage, and had a weak
spot for beautiful women.
Musou:
The Yellow Turban Rebellion – You should have red hare by now. Turn
around, and head upwards, the path that Sun Jian is pointed towards.
Charge up, past Sun Ce, Sun Jian, Huang Gai and Han Dang, and kill Yan
Zheng, and even farther ahead, Zhang Man Cheng. Take the path to the
right, over to Zhang Liang and kill him (do this to avoid the tornado's).
Now, if the supply base between Zhang Liang and your starting postion
hasn't been captured yet, take that out, them move up, towards the
castle. From here out, kill every general and base and troop outside the
castle, there is prime chance to get a lot of kills here, go over to the
gate on the outside of the castle, to the left of it, and kill all the
troops over there, that's a great kill zone. Once you move inside the
castle, on top of the altar there are four weird looking torches, with
energy emanating from them. Destroy them all and that will stop the
phantom troops. Now, seek and kill Zhang Jiao, (taking out the gates and
troops inside, as well).
Battle of Hu Lao Gate – The beginning is hard here, seeing as how you're
the only troops there. Head forward, and take out the Defense base ahead
of you, and keep fighting up to the attack base and Li Ru. As your
working your way up, Li Su will appear in the area between the defense
base and Li Ru with an ambush, take that out too. Soon, Liu Bei, Gongsun
Zan and Yuan Shao will appear to help, but strangely I have yet to see
Sun Jian. Keep fighting upwards, to the Hu Lao Gate, and kill as many
soldiers as you can, IGNORE THE GATE GUARD IN FRONT OF THE HU LAO GATE!
THAT TRIGGERS LU BU! Let someone else destroy that, then try to take
him, (To take Lu Bu: knock him down, and get behind him and continuously
attack him from there. I recommend having a Musou Rage, save when he's
at the end of the first bar of health, and when he glows yellow, Get tf
out of there. There is also a Full Heal next to the gate just below the
Hu Lao Gate, use it if needed.) Now, when he's dead, and the second gate
opens, ignore it, take the indirect route, this way you get more kills
^^. Now, head into the gate, kill Zhang Liao and Jia Xu on the way, and
finish off Dong Zhuo.
Battle of Xia Pi – Read the 4th weapon guide, it's easy to get, and if
you do it, you'll know what's going on here. Move forward, and take out
the enemy defense base. Move even farther ahead, to the bridge that
takes you to an attack base, and Song Xian, and of course, kill them.
Head back across the river, and move up, to Zang Ba, and the gate and
troops up there. Kill them, and move over to Zhang Liao and the supply
base, then go kill Gao Shun. Move into the castle, and save the the
defected Wei Xu and Yin Li, and kill Diao Chan. Finally, move on to Lu
Bu, I recommend killing him, so you get extra points, but if he runs, it
provides an extra cut scene at the end, your choice really.
Battle of Guan Du - Watch out here, this battle is easy to start screwing
up in. Start off by pushing forward through the castle, and heading
towards Yan Liang. Leaving your STRONG bodyguard at the top gate of Bai
Ma Castle, to protect from invaders, head towards him, slaughtering him
as you get near him. You may also want to stop off to the left of the
castle first, to kill his sub-general, Han Meng (If your going to go this
way, get rid of that damn attack base above you, as its extremely
annoying). Once this is done, just continue fighting, and Liu Bei shall
move towards you, Head after him and defeat him and Jian Yong, so that
Guan Yu doesn't find him. What? It's an officer kill, worth good points,
and the prick probably withdraws anyway. Any who, head to Yuan Tan, and
slaughter him, and work you're way west, and take down the attack base.
Kill Yuan Shang, but during the battle, try to ignore Zhang He, as he
will defect later on, making a good ally. From here on, just go after
Zhen Ji, defeat her, destroy the rams and arrow towers, and kill as many
troops as you can. Yuan Shao might charge into the battlefield, but if
not, just head up top to him and kill him.
(Watch out that you don't get overwhelmed here easily, the battle does
tend to do that sometimes.)
Escape from Chi Bi – Oh boy, your life is at stake here. Head out, and an
ambush appears, with Cheng Pu leading the assault, kill Dong Xi, and by
then enemy reinforcements should show up. The enemy reinforcements (Han
Dang) also appear behind you, using a pincer attack on you, so turn
around, and kill him too, then go after Cheng Pu. Charge forwards, and
head up, into the dead end peninsula, and destroy the pot at the
beginning, which contains a Musou Wine. Now, its not surprising, there's
another ambush, and this one consists of Zhu Zhi, and his sub officer
Chen Wu, kill them and march forward. Now, Zhang Liao shows up, right
next to Zhu Zhi, so you can take the choice to charce ahead, taking the
upper path, or kill Zhu Zhi yourself. Now, Zhao Yun shows up with his
sub officer, Mi Zhu, making life more of a hassle for you, kill him as
well. Once again, Xiahou Dun arrives, and you have the choice of Fight or
Flight. Now, Zhang Fei's ambush arrives, kill him and Jian Yong. Wen Pin
arrives, and again, fight or flight. Now, guess who? Give up? Guan Ping
and his lovely assistant, Zhou Cang! Kill em. Xu Zhu shows up next to
help, but Guan Ping should be dead, or almost dead, by now. Sun Quan
shows up at the BOTTOM now, with sub officers Zhuge Jin, Lu Su and Jiang
Qin. Go down, and slay him. In a couple of minutes, Liu Bei will appear
at the top with sub officers Sun Qian and Mi Fang. Kill him, and you win.
But, as you make you way up, you run into Guan Yu, he'll let you escape,
but screw that, kill him and get some extra points at the end.
Battle of He Fei – go forward and kill Ma Zhong, and take down that
defense base. Pan Zhang and Ding Feng are close by too, so take them
down as well. Now, Yue Jin is probably in trouble, so go help him out,
kill of the troops and whatnot. Xu Huang should show up soon, and help
you take that whole area in the bottom, so just go along with it. If Gan
Ning's reinforcement unit hasn't yet shown up, wait for him, and when
they do, they show up right next to the castle in the northwest, so go
kill Gan Ning. Next, move over to the right (taking out Chen Wu and Zhu
Ran on the way), and take out Taishi Ci's group, Zhu Zhi's group and the
two defense bases up top. Now, head down, take out the supply base, Zhuge
Jin and Jiang Qin on the way. Kill Taishi Ci, and head on to Sun Quan,
eliminating him.
Battle of Wu Zhang Plains – Start off by destroying the gate below you,
and the defense base below that. Now, Zuo Ci will show up, kill him,
then charge the two attack bases in the center (right one first, then
left), and eliminating as many troops as possible. Now, quickly, go
defeat the Guard Captain on the right side of the map, he's right below
the defense base in the middle, and next to the middle gate on the right
side of the map, defeat any wood oxen you see on the way. Now, listen to
Sima Yi's instructions, and rush over to help Zhong Hui into the castle,
those catapults are a major help, do not let them slip away. After the
catapult's safety has been assured, take over the defense base no the
right, along with the other two gates on the right side (above the
river). Fight your way up, taking over the defense base and the gate up
top, and move out middle, helping any base that might need it. Kill Ma
Dai and Wei Yan. Go after Wang Ping, and kill any troops that might have
made it past an attack base. When the cut scene plays, rush the center,
but watch out, another cut scene will play, and you'll have to destroy
the arbalests. Once they're gone, victory is almost assured, only way to
lose, is to die. Go after Yue Ying, destroy the Task Force, and then
kill Jiang Wei.
Battle of He Fei Castle - To start off, fight your way around the castle
walls, take either the left or right path, it doesn't matter, just get to
the inner main (front) gate. When there, the ram should have appeared by
now, destroy it. If not, have patience; kill some troops whilst you
wait. Once it's gone, go on a killing spree, you're free to do so for a
while, kill Taishi Ci or Cheng Pu. Now, a New Ram and the Wu navy will
have showed up by now, Take down the ram first (which is on the enemy
ship), then attack the Wu navy, which consists of Pan Zhang (Dong Xi) and
Jiang Qin (Chen Wu). When the enemy on the hill attacks, the Wei army
mobilizes, as the army gets pissed off and rushes at Sun Quan. Go after
Lu Xun, he has entered the castle's left wing by now, and the army is
heading at him, so pincer him, and kill him. Then go after Sun Quan.
Kill Zhou Tai, take over the gate on his ship, go after Sun Quan and
you've won.

lake at the top. Get to him, and kill him before he says something about
defending the dam, and you're still in the running (A message will appear
that he is heading for them and reinforcing them and whatnot, but that is
not the message). Now, go after, and kill Zhang Liao, and the valuable
item will appear below Wei Xu's unit, to the left, just outside the
castle wall. Now, just seek out Lu Bu, he's supercharged, watch out, and
you win. I got this after the 2nd Musou mission, not hard.

How to get 4th weapon – Battle of Mt. Ding Jun – Ok, going to need a
horse here, and a foreword, I died A LOT here, trying to get this, damn
old bastard gets in my way too many times. From the start, charge Wu Lan
and his sub general, Chen Shi. After him, go down to Zhao Yun defeating
them, and the sub officers Liu Feng and Zhang Yi. After that, go after
Wei Yan and Meng Da, but do NOT cut through the hill, go back the way you
came, or Huang Zhong will go after Xiahou Yuan. You should run into Lei
Tong and Li Yan on the way back, so kill them too. When Wei Yan and Meng
Da are dead, charge back to the bottom of the hill, where you killed Chen
Shi, and kill Guan Ping and Yan Yan. Then, when they are dead, go after
Huang Zhong, but be wary, he's a nasty ol' bastard (when he says "I'm
prepared to fight to the death", and starts to glow yellow, get the hell
away from him.) While fighting him, his damn archer units get extremely
annoying, so take them out while still on your horse. After Huang
Zhong's death, Cao Cao will show up, and so will the Valuable Item, which
appears on the bottom, where you defeated Zhao Yun. When that's all
done, charge the rest of the bases on the map, if you wish, take it easy,
and kill Liu Bei.

Shu's Officers: The Fighters in Green
-----------------------------------------
------------------------------
-Zhuge Liang
------------------------------
- One of the most brilliant minds in the history of China, Zhuge Liang
(a.k.a. Kong Ming, Sleeping Dragon) orchestrated the rise of Shu, and
directed its warriors to the greatest heights. Orphaned as a young child,
he was raised by his uncle, a governor in southern china. Soon hid
himself away as a hermit, until Liu Bei visited him to recruit him. It
was not until the third visit, that he joined Shu.
Musou:
Battle of Chang Ban – Rush forward, and take the neutral base ahead of
you. If you're on a horse, which I recommend at all times, conquer the
next two defense bases going down, then haul ass back up to the first one
you conquered, and help kill, to prepare for the fire attack. Kill Li
Dian and Zhu Ling. Cut scene. If you did as I told you, Liu Bei will do
fine the rest of the battle, now it's your turn to get kills. Don't
forget, his charge attack is invaluable; it's an excellent crown clearer.
Head to the top of the map and clear out enemies till either Liu Bei
escapes, or Cao Cao shows up and you kill him. You can get way over
1000, I did.
Conquest of Nan Zhong – rush forward and take out the attack base. Cut
scene, and then go take out that defense base, take out Meng Huo. Keep
fighting down and you'll find a path behind a tree, there are four of
these in this map. You'll run into Meng Huo a couple of times, so just
keep fighting him. Take out all the officers on the way, and clear out
defense base in the middle of the map, on the right, that will make a way
for your bridge, but even if your on a horse, the poison affects you.
Keep riding, when you get to the armored troops part, keep the task
leaders alive, and kill Zhu Rong when she shows up. Take out the attack
base in the center of there, and keep riding (there is a hidden path in
that giant area, near bottom right.) keep fighting, take out supply base,
and just head into the enemy base. Easy.
Battle of Tian Shui – Capture Nan An Castle by capturing Xiahou Mao, once
that's complete, rush over to An Ding Castle, and kill Cui Liang to
capture it. When Jiang Wei starts to complain about Tian Shui (cut
scene), just rush behind enemy lines to kick his ass. Then rush over to
An Ding Castle, kill the reinforcements, and wait for Ma Zun to come out
of his castle, PREVENT HIM FROM GETTING TO THE ESCAPE POINT!!! Stop him
at any means necessary. You win.
Battle of Chen Cang – start off by rushing forwards and killing Fei Yao,
Zhang Hu and Wang Shuang, and tons of units. When the ambush in Huang
Zhongs area comes, go and help, then rush to the mountain path to go in
the side entrance of the castle, watch out for 3 ambushes. Get inside
the castle, and slay, kill and maim everyone there, help Huang Zhong when
another Ambush comes, and just keep on truckin'. Watch out for the ambush
on the bottom right, it can take out that attack base, crippling your
siege weapon usage. When everyone and everything has been taken care of,
go after Sima Yi.
Battle of Wu Zhang Plains – As long as your decent with Zhuge Liang, his
attack and defense are strong, and you can handle him, you can win this!
Look at the defeat conditions "Zhuge Liang is defeated." Oh, that's you!
So, to start off, go forward and take out the two attack bases front and
center. Take the gates on either side as well. Keep attacking, and slay
any officer that comes out of the gate. Now, I recommend a horse for this
battle, as cause your going to need him for here, enter the base, and
Deng Ai is going to show up, KILL HIM FAST, for if he's allowed to get
just behind the center supply base, he will set up catapults, major
problem for the Shu army's march, but if you kill him after its set up,
it goes away (kill him before to avoid a lowering of morale, and an
annoying cut scene) now, back out of the gate, and keep slaughtering till
Zhuge says back off, let the arbalests go, then go in for the kill. Bye
Bye Sima Yi.

then smacks right, then releases a couple energy bombs (like his charge
attack) that explode extremely fast.
Musou: Levitates in air, slowly moving forward, and shooting out laser
beams, finishes by shooting far back, and shooting large strong beams.

How to get Fourth Weapon - Battle of Tian Shui - This one is a little bit
of a challenge, but not too hard. Start out by taking An Ding and the
other fortress, (name escapes me right now), when that's done, rush over
to
Jiang Wei, and kill him when he starts to retreat, follow after him,
don't cut through enemy territory to intercept. When that's done, hurry
up and get your valuable item in the first base you took, time is of the
essence. When that's all done chase down Ma Zun, and kill him. Good
job, you've won.

-Jiang Wei

- Zhuge Liang's successor, Jiang Wei was a strategic and martial arts
genius.
He was recruited to Shu after Zhuge Liang tricked Wei into thinking Jiang

-Pang Tong
------------------------------
- Classmate and friend of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong was a genius as well.
Also known, as the "Fledgling Phoenix" Pang Tong's genius was never truly
recognized, due to his premature death in a storm of arrows, being
mistaken as Liu Bei.
Musou:
Battle of Chi Bi – The battle starts just after Pang Tong has linked
Wei's ships together. Go forward, taking down anyone in your path, of
course, and take out the gate (go up two ships, left one, and down one)
then go after the next (go up, right four ships and down one). From
there, its simple, save anyone in danger, seek out officers, and have
fun. I killed over 1000 units here, it's simple.
Battle of Cheng Du – Rush forward, into the forest, killing any and all
ambushes that get in your way. Take out all of the gates in the forest,
and rush up to Zhang Ren, be wary of his ambush, that's what killed Pang
Tong in real life. Take out the arrows, and march downwards, into Cheng
Du. Open up the upper gate, and if the other two haven't been opened,
open them as well. When the castle is surrounded, the inner gates shall
open, destroy the gate inside, and defeat Liu Zhang.
Battle of Mount Ding Jun – go forward and attack the attack base (wow),
and keep on going to the other attack base, killing Yue Jin on the way,
and Zhang He just after the 2nd. Destroy the gate behind Zhang He's
starting point. Head over to the supply base, and open a can of whoop
ass on Xiahou Shang, Xiahou De, and the base. Head up, defeating all the
officers, and when Cao Cao shows up, slay him as well.
The Conquest of Nan Zhong - start off by heading forward and defeating
the defense base ahead of you. When this is finished, head back up, past
where you started, and go to the left, there is a hidden path there.
Follow it through, taking the lower path and kill Ahui Nan and Dong Tu
Ne; Meng Huo will get in the way. Head to the attack bases on the top,
and defeat them. When that's finished, keep fighting down, (kill Meng
Huo a couple of times, including once in a hidden path, once when he
raids Ma Su I think it is, once in the armor troop area, and once in the
second largest area from the end) until the Armor Troops show up, when
they appear, kill Wu Tugu before Zhuge Liang's task force is defeated,
hit the pots to make them explode, don't worry they wont hurt you. Zhu
Rong will show up, all pissed off, so just kick her off, she'll run off
with her little "I see you have some fire in you as well" speech. Bitch.
Keep charging into the enemy main base. Easy to get over 1000 kills.
Battle of Bai Di Castle – This battle is different in Musou mode and free
mode, in Musou you start off in the cave above the castle, in free you
start off next to Liu Chan. And way, head forward; kill Chen Wu and Zhou
Fang, then Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai. When the peasant militia shows up,
save them. Rush around, killing any enemy, saving any ally. When Gan
Ning shows up, KILL HIM, he is a major strain on castle defenses. When
you go near Sun Quan up top, he'll disappear, and reappear at the bottom
of the map. The enemies here can be overwhelming at times, and quite
annoying, so make sure you're strong when you start. Kill Sun Quan to
end the map, and win the Musou.
Attacks:
Charge: Shoots a green energy ball. An Excellent crowd clearer.
Jumping Charge: Jumps into the air, and onto his staff, and surfs along
the air on it. Excellent for moving short distances, getting the hell
out of a situation, getting back to a horse you strayed to far away from
and just playing with. I know I did.

into air while the staff below him encircles him a few times.

his arm, smacks down with staff over his head, falls on his head kicks
over his body falling backwards, turns staff horizontally and pushes it
forward, then finishes by twirling on head and creating a whirlwind.

head and spinning around, creating a whirlwind. Finishes with one final
stronger one.

How to get fourth weapon – Conquest of Nan Zhong – start off by heading
forward and defeating the defense base ahead of you. When this is
finished, head back up, past where you started, and go to the left, there
is a hidden path there. Follow it through, taking the lower path and
kill Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne, and head to the attack base on the top
right, Defeat it. When that's finished, keep fighting down, (kill Meng
Huo a couple of times) until the Armor Troops show up, when they appear,
kill Wu Tugu before Zhuge Liang's task force is defeated. When this is
complete, the valuable item appears right below the secret path I told
you about. To finish, just fight your way, defeating Meng Huo various
times, Zhu Rong and whatnot, and you'll do fine.
------------------------------
-Liu Bei
------------------------------
- Virtuous leader of Shu, his sole mission was the happiness of his
people. Sworn brother of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he made an oath with
them to unite china in the interest of the people. Distant relative of
the emperor, and was married to Sun Jian's Daughter, Sun Shang Xiang.
Musou:
The Yellow Turban Rebellion – You should have red hare by now. Turn
around, and head upwards, the path that Sun Jian is pointed towards.
Charge up, past Sun Ce, Sun Jian, Huang Gai and Han Dang, and kill Yan
Zheng, and even farther ahead, Zhang Man Cheng. Take the path to the
left, and kill Zhang Bao, go down, and take out the attack base (if it
already hasn't been.) you did all of this to avoid the rockslides that
Zhang Bao summons. Now, head upwards, and go straight across that path,
to Huang Shao and Zhang Yan, and when they are dead, turn around and head
for He Yi, who is probably in the bend that defers from the straight
path. Now, if Zhang Liang hasn't been defeated by now, head south and
kill him off, stopping the tornados. Head back north, destroy the four
torches in each of the four corners of the altar, then go after Zhang
Jiao, (kill his Sub Officers, Zhang Bao and Guan Hai, as well).
Battle of Hu Lao Gate - Red Hare is a big help here. Charge forward, only
killing a couple of that huge group there, and head up to Xu Rong, kill
him and take the gate which he's by. From there on, take the attack
base, killing anyone in your way, and head to the supply base. Head to
Hu Lao Gate, killing Hu Zhen, when you see him. Take out the gate that
you pass when you first come into the opening, and clear out a ton of
units, including officers: Guo Si, Zhao Cen, Li Jue, Wang Fang, Li Meng
and Gao Shun when he come out. DO NOT KILL THE GATE CAPTAIN BY HU LAO
GATE! LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. Go clear the gate on the other side of the
clearing, where Li Jue is, which can give you quite a bit of kills. When
Lu Bu finally is unleashed, if you're feeling a little brave, charge him.
Wait for the cut scene, and flee, go help Cao Cao defeat Li Ru, and let
your brothers take care of Lu Bu for a while. When you come back, he
should have a sizable portion of his health taken out. Help them take
him on, till your close to death, then just don't risk it, take off. Be
warned, STAY AWAY FROM HIM WHEN HE GLOWS RED OR GOLD, HE WILL KILL YOU IF
HE ATTACKS, EVEN FROM JUST ONE!!!! If you didn't kill him, head up
through Zhang Liao, kill him, listen to the little conversation, and head
for Dong Zhuo. Watch it, he will call for help from Lu Bu, so eliminate
him fast.
Battle of Chang Ban – Start off, (On RED HARE, you SHOULD have him by
now) by charging, and capturing every neutral base that you can. If you
move fast enough, the enemy should only capture one base, don't worry
about the one Zhuge Liang talks about, he'll capture that one easily.
When that's done, head up the hard way, killing the defense base the
enemy captured, and Cao Hong. Continue heading up, killing Li Dian as
well, and move into the enemy camp. Just stay there awhile, killing and
maiming, you can get quite a boat load of KO's in this battle. Don't
forget to meet up with Zhao Yun, and defeat the Supply base near the
defense base Zhuge captured too. Defeat the reinforcements when they show
up (Xu Huang and Cao Zhang), and finally, Cao Cao when he shows up.
Escape from Chi Bi – Charge after Cao Cao, that's as easy as I can put
it. Watch out for collapsing bridges, enemy reinforcements, and Xiahou
Yuan (he tends to have been the biggest problem for me). Xun You and
Cheng Yu are annoying too, so you might have to take them out as well.
This battle easy, I finished rather quickly (a little over two and a half
minutes).
Battle of Cheng Du – Rush into the forest, and kill any ambushes, should
the get in your way. Rush over to Zhang Ren (an ambush appears as you
ride up), and kill him, to prevent Pang Tong's death (Hell, if you do it
before he dies, you get a valuable item! [The Hex Mark Saddle]). Now, you
may go back into the forest, and kill the rest of the ambushes that
appear (Liu Hans, Leng Bao's and Zhang Yi's ambush), and clear the three
gates within the forest. Next, move to the eastern gate of Cheng Du
castle, and slay everyone in the area outside of it, then move inside the
castle, slaying everyone within. By now, Zhang Fei and//or Zhao Yun
should have reached and opened the southern gate, so wait for the inner
castle gate to open, move in, kill the gate up top, then take care of Liu
Zhang.
Battle of Yi Ling – Charge forward and take out the attack base ahead of
you. When that's taken care of, turn around, and look on your map,
slightly to the right of that supply base, is a road that breaks at a
river, then starts again at the other side, you'll notice it by looking
across and seeing a bridge that's ready to fall down, leave your
bodyguard there, it's a help (You WILL need Red Hare here later). Now,
head farther west, to where Ma Zhong (Ding Feng's sub-general) is, and go
down, killing him and defeating the supply base below him. Now, move over
to Han Dang, and kill him, then moving up to Ding Feng and the Supply
Base. When you cross the bridge to the right of the supply base, bridge
layers will lay down that bridge where I told you to leave your
bodyguard, rush over there and KILL Zhu Ran. Do not let him set your
camp on fire, do not let him collect 200$. Next on your list is Ling Tong
and Gan Ning. Now, move to the force in the east, that is attacking
upwards toward Sun Quan. You'll run into Sun Shiang Xiang, (Cut Scene)
kill her, and keep moving up, towards the supply base, Lu Xun, and if the
supply base to the west of the enemy main base hasn't been taken, take
it. Now, go to Sun Quan, and defeat him. If you feel like, you can also
take out Zhang Cheng and Zhou Fang, at the bottom right (reinforcements).
Battle of Bai Di Castle – Head out of the castle, taking the eastern
gate, and move down, past Huang Zhong and attack the gate ahead of him.
Now move on to the enemy supply base (Defeating Zhu Huan and Quan Zong on
the way) to the south. Huang Gai should rush there, so kill him, and the
gate at the very tip of the southeast corner. Move on to the attack base
to the left, behind Huang Gai's starting position. Now, move on to Sun
Shao, taking out the gate on the way. Now, move up to Ma Chao, and help
him save the Peasant Militia, kill Jiang Qin when you see him. When you
meet up with Ma Chao, the militia will be saved. Zhou Tai will now work
his way down to you, so kill him as well. Now, take out the entire bottom
left, gates, troops and all (I even left my Bodyguard down there). Now,
kill Gan Ning, His reinforcements have arrived in the bottom right, where
you killed Huang Gai, take him out and then move on to the upper left.
Up there, take out the Supply bases and troops, and clearing out the
sentinel base of any intruders. After Lu Xun, Chen Wu, and any other
troops are killed, go after Sun Quan. You'll have noticed, Sun Quan isn't
up top anymore; he's down where I instructed you to make your area! He's
screwed now, because he has gates attack him, and your charging him too!
Kill him and win.
Battle of Wu Zhang Plains – Go forward and defeat the attack base on the
right side of the map, in the middle. Next, move on to the attack base
in the middle, on the left side of the map, Wang Lang and Xiahou Mao
should be close to this one, so kill them. Next, defeat the Gate Captain
to the left of the left attack base, and clear out any troops on the way.
Open up a path for the Supply line, and kill Cao Rui, who is going to try
to destroy it. Before Zhong Hui gets too far, kill him, and then go after
Cao Xiu, who is trying to do the same that Cao Rui did. Now, charge past
enemy lines, and kill Deng Ai, then kill Cao Ren. Cut scene when Zhuge
dies, then everyone gets pissed off and charges, so take out the three
Supply bases that line the enemy base, and charge and kill each of the
officers inside. Defeating the last two supply bases inside as well.
Finish off by killing Sima Yi. Side note: watch out for the rockslide
(left side) and the ambush (right side) leading up to Sima Yi.

How to get 4th Weapon – Battle of Yi Ling – Start off by charging east </pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
(on the map) and going over to Cheng Pu. Ignore him and head up, find
and kill Sun Shiang Xiang (Cut scene). She will run, so catch and kill
her. When that's done, rush back to base, and kill Ling Tong and Gan
Ning, who have invaded by now, but watch out, they are next to each
other, and more powerful then usual. Now, Lu Xun is moving towards your
base, so rush past the rest of the officers, towards him, and slay him.
The valuable item will appear just below the bridge on the right side of
the map, below where you found Sun Shiang Xiang. Now, just kill people,
or go kill Sun Quan. This mission was extremely easy, I got this after I
only played Yellow Turban Rebellion and Hu Lao Gate. Didn't even reach
the mission in Musou.

-Yue Ying
------------------------------
-Yue Ying, daughter of Huang Chen Yan. Brilliant in martial arts and
academics, known for her spectacular inventions, which marveled anyone
who saw them. She was said to be extremely unattractive, but Zhuge Liang
saw beyond this ploy, which it was. It was used to drive off anyone who
wanted her for beauty, and not for anything else. Her father considered
Zhuge Liang a wonderful match for her, and quickly set up the marriage.
When Zhuge Liang joined, so did she, helping Zhuge Liang with her
inventions, and strategies. She died soon after her husband's death at Wu
Zhang Plains; her last words were to her son, "Be loyal, and filial."
Musou:
1. Battle of Chang Ban - Extremely easy, as soon as you start, head for
the unoccupied base ahead. Take that over, head on through, and
slaughter the enemy before you. Go ahead, test out her deadly skills,
they're fun! Stay at the top of the map, go meet with Zhuge Liang once,
swoop around that loop at the top left, and kill all reinforcements. I
got over 1000 kills here, well worth the strategy.
2. Conquest of Nan Zhong - another simple stage, just not as much kills.
Watch walls for secret passages, there are hidden passages behind trees
here, and they help a lot. Kill off all troops and officers that get in
your way, take down Zhu Rong when she appears, and just keep kicking Meng
Huo's ass.
He'll eventually give in.
3. Battle of Tian Shui - When you start, automatically head to the base
ahead of you, and kill the officer inside. All units in the base will
flee, and head to the other base Zhuge told you to conquer. When that's
all done, take run through enemy territory to kill Jiang Wei, use a Musou
rage, you'll have gotten one by now. When finished, retreat to allied
territory, heal up, and kill what's-his-name when he tries to flee. Use
a Musou rage that you'll probably find by then, he'll crumble at your
feet.
4. Battle of Chen Cang - kill all officers and alot of troops in front of
the castle defense wall. When the ambush on the bottom left side is
enacted, rush in and help, then take the mountain path on the right side
of map, (watch out for ambush's) Kill off enemies there, help the 2nd
ambush on bottom left, and then swoop in for the kill. (I got 3475 kills
here, Wow.)
5. Battle of Wu Zhang Plains – Got a little close for comfort here, but I
did it. First, start off by killing Guo Huai, and rushing into the
center to take out the attack bases, killing Wang Lang, Xiahou Wei, Cao
Rui and as many troops as you wish, on the way. When that's done, rush
down to help Zhuge Liang against Zhong Hui. Go back up, and enter the
supply base, preferably the middle on the gate, so you can quickly take
out Deng Ai when he shows up. After that, just help take out the rest of
the bases, kill officers, listen to Zhuge whenever he talks, and you win.
Attacks:
Charge: Throws her spear, twirling it around about two feet in front of
her. Keep pressing triangle to continue the assault for a few seconds
longer.
Jump Charge: Jumps up and swings any enemies in range, if it misses, she
swings twice and falls, if she hits an enemy, she keeps swinging for
about 5-6 swings. Does significant damage.
Musou: Swings her spear around extremely fast, finishes off with an
upwards slash.
True Musou: Same as Musou, except stronger, and she finishes with an
upward slash, that triggers a quite large whirlwind.
S: Single slash with spear.
S2: Single slash with spear, then slashes back.
S3: Single slash with spear, slashes back, and then slashes upwards.
S4: Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, and then does
somewhat of an uppercut of weapons.
S5: Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, uppercuts
with her spear, and then does uppercut opposite way.
S6: - Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upward, uppercuts
with her spear, does uppercut opposite way, then slashes normally again,
(Can go into Evolution attack, hitting the same way again, only charged.)
C1: Single slash, then turns, and hits enemy with the bottom of spear,
nailing them into the air.
C2: Single slash with spear, slashes back, and then stabs at enemy, three
times, doing multiple swirl hits each stab.
C3: Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, and then does
a 360 slash.
C4: Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, does somewhat
of an uppercut of weapons, then attacks up, creating whirlwind.
C5: Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, uppercuts
with her spear, does uppercut opposite way, then does multiple 360
attacks, just like her Musou attack.
Weapons:
Starting Weapon - War Spear - 3 power
2nd Weapon - Martial Spear - 7 power
3rd Weapon - Horizon - 11 power
4th Weapon - Oblivion - 36 power
(Charge 15, Mounted 15, Bow 16, Defense 17, Life 16)
How to Get 4th weapon - Battle of Wu Zhang Plains - I had problems here,
died a few times, but I did it! What you need to do is rush your way to
the middle, killing all officers on the way. When that's done, rush down
to help Zhuge Liang from Zhong Hui, then rush all the way back up to kill
Deng Ai. MAKE SURE YOU KILL HIM BEFORE HE SETS UP THE CATAPULTS!! Then
just go along like normal, killing everything in your way, saving
generals, and keeping Zhuge alive. For help, refer to my Musou Mode
walkthrough of this battle.
(P.S. if you keep dying here, like I did, go to another battle, like Hu
Lao Gate [Dong Zhuo's Forces] and kill a lot of people, just make sure
you have the Serpent Earrings equipped)

Musou:
Battle of Si Shui Gate – rush to the center, and take out the attack
base, and all the little officers that are invading from there. Head
over to Yuan Shu's location, and take him, and Ji Ling out as well, along
with the defense base and the gate next door. There is a Musou wine in
the jar next to the gate. Head down, eliminating the defense base below
Yuan Shu's starting location, and the gate below that. If Gongsun Zan
hasn't already moved to the middle, eliminate him too. When Cao Cao's
ambush appears below Si Shui gate, move in and save Hua Xiong, by killing
that usurping bastard. Go after Sun Jian, Liu Bei and finally kill Yuan
Shao.
Battle of Hu Lao Gate – Ooh boy, is this one fun ^^. You start off right
outside of Hu Lao Gate. All the advice that I can give you for this one
is to kill. You can get well over 1000 KO's here, and its fun too! On
thing here though, is that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei gang up on you
here, which triggers a cut scene. Oh yeah, Wen Chou and Yan Liang show
up as reinforcements.
Battle of Chang Shan – You've joined Yuan Shao! Head forward, killing
Zuozi Zhangba, and all the troops you feel like, there is a Musou wine
ahead of you in a jar. Head upwards, and an ambush will appear, some
talking and whatnot. Head forward, destroy attack base, and kill Zhang
Yan to end the ambush, gain Yuan Shao's trust back, and to get some
reinforcements. Head forward on that path, and open the doors, go past
Liu Bei, kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and then head for Liu Bei. Kill
Zhao Yun as well, he's quite annoying. Fight all the little peons that
think they can take you, and then head up to Gongsun Zan. If you killed
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu fast enough, the Red Hare Harness will
appear.
Battle of Xia Pi – Oh god, is this pretty damn annoying, but since you're
the enemy commander here, you don't loose unless you die. Go forward,
killing Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun (and all
the little supply base on the way). Not necessarily in that order, but
if you follow a path, that's who you run into first. That will save all
of your troops, and Cao Cao will have shown up by now. Rush over; kill
him and all his dumb little troops that he has the audacity to call
'reinforcements', and you win. Also, if you last out long enough, Yuan
Shu will come to assist you, but watch out, if you're losing horribly,
he'll leave quickly. In order to allow them to come, take the two gates
in the southeast.

Weapons:
Starting Weapon - Halberd- 6 power
2nd Weapon - Great Halberd - 12 power
3rd Weapon - Sky Piercer - 18 power
4th Weapon - Sky Scorcher- 40 power -
(Mountain 20, Defense 20, Attack 20, Musou 19, Life 19)
How to Get 4th weapon - Battle of Chang Shan [Chang mountain] - this one
is easy, just kill 1000 troops. Rush beyond Zhang Yan, to the gate,
taking out the attack base on the way. Be careful to stay away from the
gate captain, and just kill all enemies that come at you. The archers
can get quite annoying, so destroy them, try to have it come crashing
down on the enemies, that's a major help. When the weapon finally does
appear, it is right inside the courtyard, to the right of the gate that
leads to Gongsun Zan.
------------------------------
-Diao Chan
------------------------------
- Adopted daughter of Wang Yun, she helped him with a plot to overthrow
the tyrant. She infiltrated her way into his army's ranks, and convinced
Lu Bu to murder him. When it was over with, she ran off with Lu Bu.
Musou:
Battle of Si Shui Gate – rush to the center, and take out the attack
base, and all the little officers that are invading from there. Head
over to Yuan Shu's location, and take him, and Ji Ling out as well, along
with the defense base and the gate next door. There is a Musou wine in
the jar next to the gate. Head down, eliminating the defense base below
Yuan Shu's starting location, and the gate below that. If Gongsun Zan
hasn't already moved to the middle, eliminate him too. When Cao Cao's
ambush appears below Si Shui gate, move in and save Hua Xiong, by killing
that commandeering bastard. Go after Sun Jian, Liu Bei and finally kill
Yuan Shao.
Battle of Hu Lao Gate – This one is EXTREMELY simple, and very fun. You
start off right outside of Hu Lao Gate; there is some bickering between
Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. Kill, that's the easiest advice for here. When
enemies start taking the indirect route, you can go up and help Zhang
Liao, kill off a lot of troops, its fun! You can get well over 1000 KO's
here, and its fun too! Fight downwards, kill off Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun
Jian, Gongsun Zan, the reinforcements Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and finally
kill Yuan Shao.
Battle of Chang Shan – Guess what? You have joined Yuan Shao! Head
forward, killing Zuozi Zhangba, and all the troops you feel like, there
is a Musou wine ahead of you in a jar. Head upwards, and an ambush will
appear, there is some talking and whatnot, between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao.
Head forward, destroy attack base, and kill Zhang Yan to end the ambush,
gain Yuan Shao's trust back, save Lu Bu, and to get some reinforcements.
Head forward on that path, and open the doors, go past Liu Bei, kill Guan
Yu and Zhang Fei, and then head for Liu Bei. Kill Zhao Yun as well, he's
quite annoying. Fight all the little peons that think they can take you,
and then head up to Gongsun Zan. If you killed Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and
Guan Yu fast enough, the Red Hare Harness will appear.
Battle of Xia Pi – This is annoying, and even harder for Diao Chan,
seeing as she has to protect Lu Bu as well. Well, Go forward, killing
Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun (and all the
little supply base on the way). Not necessarily in that order, but if
you follow a path, that's who you run into first. That will save all of
your troops, and Cao Cao will have shown up by now. Go help the rest of
the troops on the map, killing soldiers and whatnot, go kill Cao Hong,
and save Lu Bu. Then, go over; kill him and all his dumb little troops
that he has the audacity to call 'reinforcements', and you win. Also, if
you last out long enough, Yuan Shu will come to assist you, but watch
out, if you're losing horribly, he'll leave quickly. In order to allow
them to come, take the two gates in the southeast.

Note: This weapon is heavy, eliminating basically one of her only
advantages.
How To Get 4th Weapon – Battle of Xia Pi – Go forward, and kill Zhang
Fei. When he is dead, go around the castle's top path, and kill the sub
generals, Li Dian and Yu Jin. After that, go after Xiahou Dun, Xiahou
Yuan, Liu Bei then Guan Yu. Not necessarily in that order, but if you do
it right, that's who you run into first (Unless Xiahou Dun's unit moves,
then he's last). Do all this before Cao Cao and make sure that all of
your allies survive, and you will get the weapon. When this is done, the
valuable item will appear just above the supply base in the southwest.
Just head in (you should have gotten a Musou rage by now) and kill Cao
Cao. Congratulations.
------------------------------
-Dong Zhuo
------------------------------
- Evil, extremely selfish and ambitious. Tried usurping over the
Imperial court, until Yuan Shao led a coalition to overthrow him. Died
at the hands of his adopted son, Lu Bu.
Musou:
Battle of Xi Liang – Head forward; eliminate the attack base, and Deng
Mao. When that's finished, go up the hill (dodging the tumbling rocks,
they can be destroyed, but it takes precision timing). Cheng Yuanzhi is
up there, acting all cocky, so just kill him and end his annoying
cackling, and his rockslide. Take out the gate up there and head towards
the next defense base, and kill Zhang Liang, ending his sorcery, and
opening up the central bridge. Next, go after the supply base, ignoring
the phantom troops (which I have to say, they did a much better job on in
this game), the death of Zhang Bao will deal with that. Ma Chao and Pang
De will show up as reinforcements by now, so... yeah. Go after Zhang
Bao, and eliminate him and the phantom troops all in one shot. Now, just
head forward and wipe out Zhang Jiao.
Battle of Liang Province – Start off by destroying the base in the top
right corner, kill Ma Chao on the way. Then go for the attack base to
the right of the enemy main camp, the attack base below that, the defense
base to the left of that and the defense base below that. By the time
your done with the first two bases, your base at the bottom will need
help, kill Yang Qiu, and defeat the attack base on your way. When this is
done, resume your march on the other 2 bases. Now @&#^ Pang De up! He
has his army around him, so watch out. From now on, just charge through
enemy forces, killing any left over officers, and go after Ma Teng.
Battle of Si Shui Gate – rush to the center, and take out the attack
base, and all the little officers that are invading from there. Head
over to Yuan Shu's location, and take him, and Ji Ling out as well, along
with the defense base and the gate next door. There is a Musou wine in
the jar next to the gate. Head down, eliminating the defense base below
Yuan Shu's starting location, and the gate below that. If Gongsun Zan
hasn't already moved to the middle, eliminate him too. When Cao Cao's
ambush appears below Si Shui gate, move in and save Hua Xiong, by killing
that commandeering bastard. Go after Sun Jian, Liu Bei and finally kill
Yuan Shao.
Battle of Hu Lao Gate – start off by eliminating all enemies and officers
before the Hu Lao Gate. Charge the gate between the indirect route, to
eliminate all the little bastards that the thing spews forth. Now, take
down the attack base on the left bottom of the map, and go after the
defense to its right next, by now, Lu Bu and Diao Chan should have
defected. Bastard, kill the backstabbers, and finish the battle by
killing the rest of the infidels that dare attack your dream of paradise,
(they would be Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.)

(Luck 17, Horse 17, Defense 15, Attack 18, Life 15)
How to get 4th weapon: (Battle of Liang Province) Start off by destroying
the base in the top right corner, ignore Ma Chao. Then go for the attack
base to the right of the enemy main camp, the attack base below that, the
defense base to the left of that and the defense base below that. By the
time your done with the first two bases, your base at the bottom will
need help, kill Yang Qiu, and defeat the attack base on your way. When
this is done, resume your march on the other 2 bases. When this is done,
go after Ma Chao, and screw him up, he should be surrounded by allies, so
he wont be hard. Now &@#^ Pang De up! He has his army around him, so
watch out. The valuable item appears in the lower left quadrant of the
cross roads on the left side of the map. When this is done, just charge
Ma Teng.
------------------------------
-Meng Huo
------------------------------
- King of the Nanman to the south. A large man, he defended the south
against the campaign of Zhuge Liang many times. But when he finally did
lose, he realized Zhuge was not trying to take his land, but trying to
ally with the south, he agreed.
Musou:
Struggle for Nan Zhong – start off by going forth, and attacking enemies
trying to head into your base. Then head forward, attacking Dong Tu Na
and the supply base. When they're taken care of, take over Ahui Nan, and
take out the charging King Mulu. Now, move over to the attack base up
north, and Jinhuan Sanjie's unit, taking them both down, now attack the
charging Wu Tugu. When the south has finally united, Yong Kai, Gao Ding
and Zhu Bao will come, kill them off to successfully defend your
territory! First head to Zhu Bao, as he's closest to your base, and
presents a huge threat. Next, Yong Kai, because Zhu Rong should be
taking him head on by now, then Gao Ding.
Battle of Nan Zhong – Start off by rushing north, and taking the attack
base, ignore Zhang Jiao and Pei Yuan Shao, on the way there, but take him
out on the way back. Now, take the neutral (if it already hasn't been)
base in the bottom middle. Now, go save your base, by attacking the
'converted' (bastards defected) soldiers. Now, when more get converted,
and respect drops, you just can't take that, so head north, and slay
Zhang Bao, then head to the southeast, and slay Zhang Liang. Head through
the enemy camp, and kill Bo Zhang on the way. Kill Zhang Man Cheng and
He Yi on the way as well. Now, head back through the allied main camp,
and take out Guan Hai. All you have to do now, is take out Zhang Jiao,
and you win.
The Invasion of Nan Zhong – Start off by taking over the gate right ahead
of you. Now, take over the attack base ahead of you, and rose to the aid
of Zhu Rong's troops in the center battlefield, taking over the attack
base, killing Lu Xun, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng and Zhu Ran. When they are all
dead, the bridge shall be destroyed, now rush in from the left side of
the map, and take over the enemy camp. Start off by killing Ding Feng,
going up to Pan Zhang, and then taking out their leader, Sun Shiang
Xiang. The beast unit shall take out the walls up top, so take out the
defense base, the supply base, then Lu Meng, and finally Sun Quan. If you
wish, you may also take out the reinforcements, which are made up of Gan
Ning and Jiang Qin.
Conquest of Nan Zhong – March forward, and take the attack base, and the
gate on the way. Now, Wei Yan will charge you, so take care of him and
Ma Dai, while protecting your main camp. Now, head to the attack base
the next section up, and take that over, and kill the task leaders (4),
Zhang Yi and Wang Ping. Keep moving, take out Huang Zhong and Yan Yan,
and the attack base next to them, by the time you reach there, Guan Suo
may also be there. Now, head up to the designated gate, and defeat it,
allowing reinforcements. Head up top, and as soon as the "enemy
reinforcements" log shows up, take out that gate!! Ignore everything
except that gate; you can take out the enemies on the way back. Now, go
take the attack base to the right, Yue Ying, Liao Hua, Zhang Bao and Guan
Xing in the center, and the supply base to the right. When that's done,
chase down Zhuge Liang, and you've won.

3rd Weapon – Beast Master – 12 power
4th Weapon – King of Beasts
(Charge 15, Fill 15, Horse 15, Attack 18, Life 19)
How to get fourth Weapon – Conquest of Nan Zhong – I suggest Red Hare
here. Head forth; ignore everything, except for Wei Yan. Kill him, then
head up, slaying anything on your way, over to Huang Zhong. Use the
hidden path to get up to him. Kill him, and then when the task force
appears, kill all four of them. Then head up to Yue Ying, killing the
designated gate on the way, to allow reinforcements (you can most likely
ignore this, and Zhu Rong will take care of it). If you need a full heal,
kill a supply base, preferably the one in the area with the exploding
pots. Now, head up north, using the secret path, and kill Yue Ying
fast,(this isn't required, but hurry up and kill the gate on the top
left, to prevent reinforcements). Now, (assuming no one defected) the
valuable item will appear in the bottom most secret path. Run down, grab
it, then head back up, and finish off the rest of the soldiers, attack
bases and Zhuge Liang.

Musou:
Battle of Xi Liang – Begins with a cut scene. Ok, charge ahead, and kill
off Dong Min, Niu Fu and Hu Zhen, taking over the neutral attack base on
the way. Now, Zhang Liang has been isolated, and is in trouble! Oh no!
Ok, so now we rush over there, kick Xu Rong and Li Ru's ass, along with
the defense base, and as your doing that, Zhang Liang will be hauling ass
back to the attack base you conquered. A giant rolling log will now be
in effect, helping you tremendously. Now, Ma Chao will appear, and way to
close to your main base. Go kill him and his pesky little troops, and do
not let him kill Zhang Liang! When that area is certified Ma Chao free,
head for Hua Xiong, and slay that bastard, along with clearing out that
entire northwestern area. Now, take the eastern most path down (that path
that DOESN'T have the giant log rolling back and forth) and kill Li Jue,
the supply base and finally, kill off Dong Zhuo.
Battle of Ji Province – Wow, now Yuan Shao is starting with you.
Anyways, just one more arrogant idiot to take down. Start off by heading
left, and clearing out the area of that altar, but watch out, those
infidels have put a defense unit there, so kill the defense captain and
capture the altar. Head further left, and defeat Yuan Shang and the
attack base in the northwest. Now, go back right (defeating Tian Feng,
and anyone else by the altar on the way, so that Zhang Bao may perform
another ceremony), all the way to where you started, and head down, and
take out Yuan Xi, the defense base, and Ju Shou. When at the bottom, head
left (when you get all the way left, near Yuan Shao, Zhao Yun's
reinforcement unit shall appear), and you now have two choice, head
north, and defeat the defense and supply base, along with Wen Chou and
Gou Tu then go after Yuan Shao, or just plain kill Yuan Shao.
Battle of Nan Zhong – Ok, head out into the swamp, and kill Ahui Nan and
King Duosi, there is an island close to where they are, so fight them on
there, at least the poison will no longer hurt you. Watch out for the
poisonous marsh, that deals a major blow to your health, but that will
all be dealt with soon enough. Now, head to the southeast, and take out
King Mulu and his sub general, Dong Tu Na. When that area has been
"converted," head back up north, and save Zhang Bao from Zhu Rong (and
Jinhuan Sanjie, who's probably appeared down there). Now, head to the
northwest, and kill that pesky Wu Tugu. A phantom army shall appear to
help you with the armor troops. When that area has been cleared, head
south, and the converted Nanman, plus the rest of the officers shall help
you take the main base. Kill off Dailai Dongzhu, Meng You, and finally
kill Meng Huo.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion – Start off, by heading forward, and killing
Gongsun Yue. Now that the rockslide has been initiated, charge down to
Zhang Bao's altar (killing Gongsun Zan and Zhu Jun on the way), and help
him brainwash Cao Cao, don't kill any sub generals, if possible, cause
once Cao Cao is yours, they are too. Next, go over to Zhang Liang's
Altar, and help him brainwash Sun Jian, same thing here, kill no sub
generals. Now, head back north, and kill Huangfu Song, who is right
outside your castle. Head west, and kill off Guan Yu, Jian Yong and Liu
Bei, then go south and take out the defense base and gate. Head to He
Jin, and kill him, and once he's dead, head up to Dong Zhuo, and once
he's taken care of, you win.
Attacks:
Charge: Raises his hands in the air, and the people around him are hit
and fall to the ground. This attack doesn't do a lot of damage, its only
good for quick escapes, or stopping an officers Musou attack.
Jumping Charge: jumps and throws his staff, and him and his staff spin,
as the staff spews fire.
S: Performs a 360-spin attack with staff.
S2: Performs a 360-spin attack with staff, then attacks with butt of

(Evolution attack now triggered, if acquired.)
C1: Performs a 360-spin attack with staff, knocking the enemy into the
air behind him, then he turns around and hits the enemy with his staff.
C2: Performs a 360-spin attack with staff, attacks with butt of staff
through his arms, and then walks forward, while commanding the staff to
attack upward and downward, finishes by emitting a blue wave. Keep
pressing triangle to make attack longer. This is probably the best crowd
clearing attack he has, when you can get it to work without enemies
attacking you.
C3: Performs a 360-spin attack with staff, attacks with butt of staff
through his arms, turns around and attacks in an uppercut motion, then
stands still and shoots fire from the end of his staff.

the staff ahead of him and spraying fire.
True Musou: Jabs staff forwards shooting fire continuously, finishes by
spins his arm around his body a few times, and spraying fire.
Weapons:

3rd Weapon – Fire Staff – 10 power
4th Weapon – Volcano Staff – 32 power
(Charge 16, Fill 9, Luck 15, Attack 15, Musou 17)
How to get fourth Weapon – The Yellow Turban Rebellion – This one is
hard, because Zhang Jiao Sucks. Ok, basically, Kill Gongsun Yue quickly,
(he is in northwestern corner, Gongsun Zan's sub-general), and allow the
rockslide to occur, there will be no cut scene, just a message in battle.
Now, head to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's altars, and stay at the altars,
waiting for the prayer to be finished, and cut scenes to occur. When Both
Sun Jian and Cao Cao have been brainwashed, the valuable item will appear
right below Zhang Bao's altar. If any of your allies have been defeated,
the item will not show up. Now, just charge He Jin, kill him, and you
win, but watch out for Dong Zhuo's reinforcements, he's royally pissed
off. Since he showed up, now you have to kick his fat, arrogant, and
annoying ass.
------------------------------
-Zuo Ci
------------------------------
- He was a virtuous man, who believed Cao Cao would save the land, but
ended up provoking him too much, and was finally captured, and executed.
But when he escaped the execution, he foretold of Cao Cao's death, and
disappeared. He then turned to Liu Bei, and helped Shu, until Liu Bei
fell ill and died. Zuo Ci finally turned to Zhuge Liang, and when he
died, supposedly Zuo Ci turned into a dove and flew away. Some say he
still exists even today, waiting for a noble and virtuous person to come
and save the land.
Now, I have to say, Zuo Ci rekindled my interest in this game. After Liu
Bei, Sun Jian and Cao Cao's long ass 8 leveled Musou missions, I started
to get a little tired of everything, but I have to say, ZUO CI KICKS
ASS!!!! Oh my god he pwns everything and everyone. He is DEFINITELY
worth unlocking. It's also nice to see someone else without the extreme
drama, and goofy @#$*ing lines.
Musou:
The Yellow Turban Rebellion - You should damn well have red hare by now.
Turn around, and head upwards, the path that Sun Jian is pointed towards.
Charge up, past Sun Ce, Sun Jian, Huang Gai and Han Dang, and kill Yan
Zheng, and even farther ahead, Zhang Man Cheng. Take the path to the
right, over to Zhang Liang and kill him (do this to avoid the tornado's).
Now, if the supply base between Zhang Liang and your starting postion
hasn't been captured yet, take that out, them move up, towards the
castle. From here out, kill every general and base and troop outside the
castle, there is prime chance to get a lot of kills here, go over to the
gate on the outside of the castle, to the left of it, and kill all the
troops over there, that's a great kill zone. Once you move inside the
castle, on top of the altar there are four weird looking torches, with
energy emanating from them. Destroy them all and that will stop the
phantom troops. Now, seek and kill Zhang Jiao, (taking out the gates and
troops inside, as well).
The Battle of Hu Lao Gate – Wow, this is easy. Ok charge ahead, leave
the attack//defense base ahead of you alone, just get in front of the Hu
Lao Gate. Stay there, as the rest of the units press forward, fighting
enemies, and slaying mass quantities. You should have the 4th weapon by
now (if you read my guide on how to do that) so if Lu Bu shows up, you
know how to handle him. Just kill everyone, close all gates, kill all
troops on the battlefield and whatnot, and have fun. Kill Dong Zhuo to
end the battle.
Battle of Guan Du – Go forward, and kill all enemies ahead of you.
You'll eventually run into Han Hao and Cao Hong, and finally head into
the castle there. Hurry off to the left, and kill Guan Yu (a cut scene
occurs, but kill him anyway, it's good points) in a hurry. Now, head into
the castle, and kill off all the troops in the castle, including Xun You
and Liu Yan. Now, you may defeat the two bases in the center, head on to
the far left, or just move to Guan Du Castle, just have fun kicking ass,
and rack up some KO's.
Battle of Chang Ban – Begins with a cut scene. Start off, (On RED HARE,
you SHOULD have him by now) by charging, and capturing every neutral base
that you can. If you move fast enough, the enemy should only capture one
base, don't worry about the one Zhuge Liang talks about; he'll capture
that one easily. When that's done, head up the hard way, killing the
defense base the enemy captured, and Cao Hong. Continue heading up,
killing Li Dian as well, and move into the enemy camp. Just stay there
awhile, killing and maiming, you can get quite a boatload of KO's in this
battle. Don't forget to meet up with Zhao Yun, and defeat the Supply base
near the defense base Zhuge captured too. Defeat the reinforcements when
they show up (Xu Huang and Cao Zhang), and finally, Cao Cao when he shows
up.
Escape from Chi Bi – Begins with a cut scene. It's really quite simple
here, just hunt Cao Cao down, this really isn't a battle to rack up
K.O's. Watch out for his sub generals, they are a pain in the ass, and a
collapsing bridge. Also beware of enemy reinforcements. I kicked this
mission's ass in a matter of 2'03''40. I also got 130 kills.
Battle of He Fei - Start off by rushing the defense base in the center of
the map (straight ahead of you). Man Chong should be inside the base, so
take him out as well. When you're done, head outside the base and take
care of Niu Jin and Pang De (Niu Jin first, cause he'll run when Pang De
is defeated). While fighting them, Cao Zhang should show up with
reinforcements, so feel free to take him out as well. Now, take out the
gates that are right below the defense base. Zhang Liao's ambush should
have shown up by now, so rush over there and take him out, and save Sun
Quan from the arrogant bastard. Next, head for the supply base above the
defense base you defeated, then go for the next defense base to the left
of the defeated defense base you conquered, the one right above where Xu
Huang's ambush. Now, go south, and take out the supply base, Xu Huang and
Yue Jin, along with the gate and soldiers, of course. By now, Xiahou Dun
and Cao Hong's reinforcement units have shown up, along with the annoying
Zhang Liao, take them out, along with Li Dian and Yu Jin who up there as
well, and don't forget the defense base and two supply bases up top,
along with taking out the supply base below He Fei Castle on the way.
Head back to the southwest, and defeat Zhang Liao who appeared once more
to the bottom, and head to the top. Take Zhang Liao out one last time,
and defeat Cao Cao.
Battle of Yi Ling – Begins with a cut scene. Charge forward and take out
the attack base ahead of you. When that's taken care of, turn around,
and look on your map, slightly to the right of that supply base, is a
road that breaks at a river, then starts again at the other side, you'll
notice it by looking across and seeing a bridge that's ready to fall
down, leave your bodyguard there, it's a help (You WILL need Red Hare
here later). Now, head farther west, to where Ma Zhong (Ding Feng's sub-
general) is, and go down, killing him and defeating the supply base below
him. Now, move over to Han Dang, and kill him, then moving up to Ding
Feng and the Supply Base. When you cross the bridge to the right of the
supply base, bridge layers will lay down that bridge where I told you to
leave your bodyguard, rush over there and KILL Zhu Ran. Do not let him
set your camp on fire, do not let him collect 200$. Next on your list is
Ling Tong and Gan Ning. Now, move to the force in the east, that is
attacking upwards toward Sun Quan. Head to the supply base, killing Sun
Shiang Xiang on the way, and keep moving up, towards Lu Xun, and if the
supply base to the west of the enemy main base hasn't been taken, take
it. Now, go to Sun Quan, and defeat him. If you feel like, you can also
take out Zhang Cheng and Zhou Fang, at the bottom right (reinforcements).
Battle of Wu Zhang Plains – Begins with a cut scene. Go forward and
defeat the attack base on the right side of the map, in the middle.
Next, move on to the attack base in the middle, on the left side of the
map, Wang Lang and Xiahou Mao should be close to this one, so kill them.
Next, defeat the Gate Captain to the left of the left attack base, and
clear out any troops on the way. Open up a path for the Supply line, and
kill Cao Rui, who is going to try to destroy it. Before Zhong Hui gets
too far, kill him, and then go after Cao Xiu, who is trying to do the
same that Cao Rui did. Now, charge past enemy lines, and kill Deng Ai,
then kill Cao Ren. Cut scene when Zhuge dies, then everyone gets pissed
off and charges, so take out the three Supply bases that line the enemy
base, and charge and kill each of the officers inside. Defeating the
last two supply bases inside as well. Finish off by killing Sima Yi.
Side note: watch out for the rockslide (left side) and the ambush (right
side) leading up to Sima Yi.
Attacks:
Charge: Shoots out a ball of energy that explodes after a few seconds, a
couple in succession are a good crowd clearer. Press charge once for a
red (fire) energy ball, and more then once for a blue (ice) energy ball.

C4: Swipes cards to the right, then stabs multiple cards forward at the
same time, then swipes cards diagonally from lower left to upper right,
then swipes cards to the left, and then sends a black vortex with cards
swirling forward. Great for clearing enemies in a gate that you can't
get to, this almost always does a 1 HIT KO, the move just screams "ABUSE
ME!"

same time, then swipes cards diagonally from lower left to upper right,
then swipes cards to the left, then swings the cards to the right, and </pre><pre id="faqspan-6">

easy, I only completed his first Musou mission and I got this. He is so
unbelievably powerful, he can easily complete this, and I absolutely fell
in love with his move set. Any ways, this is easy, rush to the Hu Lao
Gate, open the gate, and kill Lu Bu. Simple as that, just watch out for
Lu Bu when he turns yellow, save when you get him pretty low, and abuse
your C3, C2 techniques and your Musou. The Valuable item appears on top
of the wall, just take the stairs to the left as you enter the Hu Lao
Gate. Now then, just kill Dong Zhuo, and the battle ends.

Rare Items and Orbs - The Finest Jewelry in All the Land
__________________________________________________________________
All of the items I acquired, I obtained in Free Mode, on Easy Difficulty,
and I found that jacked up warriors with Spears on Horses (preferably Red
Hare) worked best. So, my system here is [Name of the item – Battle
Name//Force - Warrior I used – strategy] and below it, I put its
description, and what it does. None of the items require a certain
person to obtain it, so with that:
__________
|Saddles |
----------
Red Hare – Battle of Chang Shan (Yuan Shao's Forces) – Zhao Yun – Start
off by fighting your way through the gate to the north, fight all the
officers in your way, and fight over to the front gate of the castle. If
you wish, you may save Lu Bu; he is quite helpful in the battle. Anyways,
kill all officers in the front gate until you reach Guan Yu (Mainly Zhao
Yun, he's a pain while your trying to fulfill the requirement), when you
meet with him, turn around, and run to the Right Gate of the castle, rush
in, bring Zhang Fei's health down as low as possible, then lure his as
far towards Guan Yu as you can, then slay him, slay Guan Yu, then slay
Liu Bei. If you kill all three of the brothers within 3 minutes, the
valuable item will show up on the left path, leading to the castle, right
outside of the gate. Kill Gongsun Zan to finish the battle.
Description: Begin Stage mounted on Red Hare
Effects: Red Hare is insanely fast, the fastest means of transportation
in the game.
Storm Harness – Battle of Guan Du (Cao Cao's forces) – Ma Chao – You
start the battle off in the castle on the right side of the map, so
charge ahead, and kill Yan Liang as fast as you possibly can. As soon as
he's dead, run left, and slay Wen Chou. Kill them all within 5 minutes
of the stages beginning, and the valuable item will appear in the path to
the right of Yuan Shao's main camp. Grab it, and slay Yuan Shao,
congrats you have Storm Runner.
Description: Begin Stage mounted on Storm Runner
Effects: Gives a bonus on the points earned during stage
Hex Mark Harness – Battle of Cheng Du (Shu Forces) – Lu Bu – Ok, you
start near Pang Tong, as soon as you start, rush forward into the forest.
Head up to the northwest, and kill Zhang Ren, if you kill him before he
can kill Pang Tong, the Valuable Item will appear in the middle of the
forest. When that's done, just head to the castle that Liu Zhang is
holed up in, open all the doors, and keep killing until the doors open.
When they do, kill him and it's all over.
Description: Begin stage mounted on Hex Mark
Effects: Raises your luck
Shadow Harness - Battle of Liang Province (Allied Forces) – Lu Bu - This
one is hard, due to its time requirements. Now, to do this, you MUST
have red hare, and an insanely strong officer, hence Lu Bu. As soon as
the battle starts, rush to the southwest corner supply base, and clear it
out, rush to the southeast gate, close it, then the eastern gate, then at
the northeast gate, do the same, then STAY AT THE NORTHEAST BASE (have
some patience, this WILL take awhile.) After Dong Zhuo shows up, and
calls in reinforcements (he will say "Ha, you think I come without a
plan?!), Hu Zhen and Zhang Ji, kill them within 50 seconds of their
appearance. Yes, you read that right, 50 seconds, ten seconds less then
a minute. So, kill one, and rush STRAIGHT to the other. If you need to,
use a Musou rage, or along the way if you see an attack x2 grab it, so
you can get a 1hit kill. After this is all done, the valuable item will
appear in the center of the stage, just grab it and play "kill the
tyrant."
Description: Begin stage mounted on Shadow Runner
Effects: You cannot be knocked off of this horse
Elephant Harness – Battle of Nan Zhong (Nanman Forces) – Zhao Yun – Rush
forward, and defeat Zhang Jiao and Pei Yuan Shao. When they are out of
the way, lots of crazy ****'s going to be going down, so you had better
be ready. You should be on red hare, as with all of these missions, so
head forward and occupy the attack base, then head back to the main base
and kill as many soldiers that have been "converted" as you can, occupy
the defense base on bottom while in the process. When Zhang Bao up top
starts stirring things up, go and kill him, to save Wu Tugu. Next, ride
down to Zhang Liang, who's starting his crap in the southeast, kill him
to save King Mulu, and on the way, kill Bo Zhang, to save King Duosi.
When all three have been saved, and if no enemies get inside the main
camp, the valuable item will appear inside of the poisonous marsh, to the
northeast of the gate on the right side. Now, just charge north, taking
out the supply base, and kill Zhang Jiao.
Description: Begin stage mounted on Elephant
Effects: No weapon attacks on the elephant, it charges, stomps and causes
some pretty good damage to enemy troops
________
| Orbs |
--------
[Note: These MUST be done on Hard or Chaos mode.]
Fire Orb – Battle of Si Shui Gate (Allied Forces) – Lu Bu – Simple,
especially with Lu Bu, just kill 200 enemies within 2 minutes, now, if
you got his 4th weapon, you know how simple it is. Rush to the center,
slay, kill, maim, murder, commit genocide, ETC. The Valuable Item
appears up top where Hu Zhen and Yuan Shu start out. When your finished,
just rush to Hua Xiong, and kick his butt.
Description: Add fire damage to attacks
Effects: With certain attacks, the enemy will burn at the end, causing
more damage.
Ice Orb – Battle of Guan Du (Yuan Shao's Forces) – Lu Bu – Go forward,
and rush through enemy lines, all the way to Guan Du Castle. Seek out
Cao Pi, and kill him. When he's defeated (if you beat him within 5
minutes of the stages beginning) the valuable item will appear in the
middle of the stage, inside of Wu Chao, in front of Chunyu Qiong. Now, if
you feel like it, just slay all the officers on the battlefield, and
finish off Cao Cao.
Description: Enemies may be temporarily frozen
Effects: Enemies that are frozen stay absolutely still for a few seconds,
covered in ice, so that you may beat the crap out of them. If they die
while encapsulated, ice breaks and they fall.
Yang (Light) Orb – Battle of Wu Zhang Plains (Shu Forces) – Lu Bu – Bah,
this one is annoying. You start off to the left of the plateau that
later houses the Arbalests, so what do you do? Rush to the middle Supply
base, in the sequence of three protecting the Wei main camp. First, you
will meet Cao Ren, kill him and go left slightly, you'll bump into Xu
Zhu, kill him. Ignore everyone on your way to them, and going from each
to each, especially Deng Ai, he's just a pain in the but. Go right all
the way, to the gate, and find and slay Zhen Ji. The valuable item will
appear on a plateau, left of your starting place. But, on your way out,
don't forget to payback Deng Ai for his interference, and kick his fat
ass. Rush back into the enemy camp and kill Sima Yi.
Description: Attacks break through the enemy's guard.
Effects: Breaks enemy guard while doing charge attacks.
Yin (Shadow) Orb – Battle of Wu Zhang Plains (Wei Forces) – Lu Bu – Easy,
start off by taking the two attack bases in the center, and cutting off
the supply line to the east, rush through the enemy lines, slaying Yue
Ying along the way, and kill Jiang Wei, I recommend finding a Musou Rage
first, that can be annoying. The Item appears in the middle of the
field. If you want to end it fast, just seek out Zhuge Liang by going
back the way that you killed Jiang Wei. Kill Zhuge and its over.
Description: Empties Musou Gauge and enemies may be defeated in one blow.
Effects: One Hit Kills baby. Uses Musou.

minute of his appearance. Keep Fighting your way up top, and attack the
second supply base in from the top right, and wait there for a little
bit, Yu Jin will show up, kill him within a minute. Soon Zhang Liao will
show up, take him on, and then head back up top and he will appear once
more. Kill him and head to the gate in the northeast corner and kill off
Xiahou Dun within a minute. The valuable item appears just below the
defense base in the center of the map, by the gate. Now just charge Cao

about the tornados, they don't affect you personally.

on the tip of the arrow when shot.
Art of War – Battle of Chi Bi (Cao Cao's Forces) – Ma Chao – MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE RED HARE HERE. Rush down to Zhou Tai, killing any officer on
your way. Wait there, and Huang Gai will show up, kill him before he
gets to the ship. As soon as he's dead, rush over to Zhuge Liang's
position (right below) and wait for him to retreat, when he says there's
no need for him on the battlefield anymore, kill him. The Valuable item
will appear on the fifth ship in, 2nd row of Wu Ships, left side, close
to where Ma Chao began. Wait for Sun Quan and then kill him. Have fun
killing Zhou Yu while you wait. (P.S. I recommend reading this, it's a
great book.)

within three minutes of Xu Zhu's death. Don't stop to kill anyone on the
way; don't kill anything unless you're on your horse and charging
through. The valuable item appears in the bottom, at the end of the path
going east from the Shu main camp, close to Deng Ai. When you're done,
just finish off Cao Pi. Easy, just make sure you kill Xu Zhu first, then
Sima Yi within 3 minutes.
Description: Attack increases but defense decreases.

this on accident as well, but for you, lets make it easy. Seek out, and
kill Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and Cao Cao. The item will appear

battle.

Musou Armor – Conquest of Nan Zhong (Nanman Forces) – Pang De – Rush up
north, killing anything in your way, and find the juggernauts (the giant
yellow machines with tiger faces that spit fire and fire balls) and kill
all (There are seven throughout the area) within 5 minutes. The valuable
item will appear below the supply base in the lower left corner of the
map, by the opening of the secret path. Now, just seek out and kill
Zhuge Liang and you win.

tiny bit of damage, neat eh? No more of my days of HATING arrow men ^^ .

can be a little intimidating, but you can do it (HAVE RED HARE!!! I
CANNOT EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH) now, turn around, and head toward the
supply base and go towards King Mulu, and kill all of the beast masters
you see. There are three of them in there, and you have to kill all three
within 1 minute (60 seconds) of the stages beginning. The valuable item
will appear right in the allied main base, next to Meng You's unit.
Before you rush back to get the item, kill King Mulu. Grab the item,

Zhu Bao, lower right corner), and the battle ends.

Effects: You start the stage with a tiger at your side, you cannot
control him, and he attacks whatever he likes. He has a variety of
attacks, from a simple swipe, to a charged leap with flames shooting out.
Tribal Remedy – Battle of He Fei Castle (Wei Forces) – Ma Chao – Its
simple here, kill all of the ambushes and the rams. The ambushes consist
of three people, Sun Shao (ambush next to Cao Pi's position, in top left
corner) Pan Zhong and Jiang Qin (The ambushes on the ships to the right
of He Fei Castle). When the battle starts, go kill Taishi Ci, and wait
for the Wu Navy to show up. Go and kill Pan Zhong and Jiang Qin, and
rush back to the inner castle main gate, and destroy the ram that has
shown up. When that is clear, go up top, where Sun Shao's ambush has
appeared on the hill, and take him out. By now, another ram has appeared
(this time on the Wu Navy's Ships to the right), so go take that out.
The valuable item will appear on top of the castle walls, on the right

your good, this won't even matter, but kill him before Cao Cao's arrival)

Effects: Your weapons attack range is longer.
Demon Band - Battle of Xi Liang (Yellow Turban Forces) – Zuo Ci – I know,
he doesn't have a spear, but his cards have the attack length of one, and
his charge on a horse kicks ass. Any way, Charge forward, and kill
anyone in your way. Take over the attack base, and go save Zhang Liang
(just meet up with him). Now, Ma Chao will appear in the northeast, way
to close to your base might I add, kill him within 3 minutes of his

Tips and Tricks - Get Ahead of the Game
__________________________________________________________________
-Before battle, always check Preparations, (Weapons, Items, Bodyguards)
-If a bodyguard is nearby, and you see Musou wine (the thing that fully
restores all Musou) get him as close as possible when you touch it, then
you both get full Musou, same goes for meat buns and full elixir.
-Battles do not end until YOU kill the enemy general, no one else can
kill him, even if he has no life and something else slashes him.
-Find a characters best crowd clearing technique, and use it often, best
for killing hundreds of those pesky soldiers.
-When an officer has a video introduction (Zhang Liao in the battle of He
Fei, Sun Quan in the battle of He Fei Castle, Lu Bu in the battle of Hu
Lao Gate) if you run away from them, they will taunt you, and allied
morale will go down.
-Have a new officer? Want to test out his skills? Go to Free Musou and
choose the 'Battle of Liang Province' (181 A.D.), the map is easy,
simple, and lots of enemies to kill.
-Try all of your Combo attacks (S+/\) (SS +/\) (SSS+/\) and later on with
other weapons, even more (S+/\) techniques!!
-Having trouble with a tough enemy? Use your Musou. When he's on the
ground, run behind him, and attack as soon as he stands up, keep doing
this until you've eliminated him. It's a bit cheap, but it gets the job
done.
-Strategist type generic officers tend to drop shields.
-Warrior type generic officers tend to drop swords.
-Officers with high morale emit energy, which doubles their strength and
defense. The same goes for enemy commanders (regardless of their morale)
-Tired of dying, and doing the same map over and over? Protect the main
focus point. If your leader keeps dying, rush to his aid, and beat down
some enemy ass. The same goes for preventing a castle from falling or
any other objective.
-Each different type of base has different weapons, Supply base warriors
have pikes, Attack base warriors have double sabers, and Defense base
warriors have shields and fork spears.
-When anyone says any mission, even if its not directed to you, help out.
Clear off a bridge, destroy a siege ramp, empty out an attack base,
whatever!
-This one is a bit personal. Whatever you do, no matter how bad the game
pisses you off, no matter how much the enemy cheats, don't hit your PS2,
don't slam your controller, and don't break the game. Take the anger out
on something else... Don't ask...
-Don't take up useless space for Musou saves, only make 4/5 save spaces
on your memory card. 1 for Wu, 1 for Shu, 1 for Wei and 1 or 2 for the
unaligned forces, it saves space that way.
-Try and use your charge attack often, they are useful attacks.
-Want to become a true warrior of the three kingdoms? (Achieved by
killing 1000 troops) then stand at a checkpoint, just out of range for
the guard to attack you, masses upon masses of unit will attack, and the
base wont close, due to the guardian staying!
-Save Musou Rages, don't use them as soon as you get them, they DO last
till the end of the mission. Save it for a tight spot, or the enemy
commander, and if you can have your Musou filled bodyguard nearby for
maximum damage.
-Bodyguards do help a lot; choose the one right for your fighting style.
Are you an up close and personal fighter? Choose someone who will get
right in there with you. Are you a cautious player? Choose a long-range
attacker.
-Are you completely new at Dynasty Warriors®? Build your skills in
Challenge mode first, granted it's a fully upgraded warrior, but its
great for teaching how to attack, kill, block and use other combos.
-Need health? Every map contains two Dim Sums (increases health by ten)
and one Musou wine (increases Musou gauge by ten). Officers drop them,
and random vases contain them.

FAQs - Ask All of Your Dynastic Questions
__________________________________________________________________
Q.
Is there a CAW (Create a Warrior) Section of this game?
A.
No. Everyone Stop Asking. There is no CAW function, and bitching about
it won't help.
Q.
I just started playing, is this all real?
A.
The game is based on historical events, yes. It's based on a book called
'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', also known as 'San Guo Yan Yi,' written
by Luo Guanzhong, about the civil war period after the crumble of the Han
Dynasty, (Approximately 180 A.D. to 280 A.D.)
Q.
My weapon has a blue circle next to the name, what is this?
A.
That symbol means that the weapon is capable of an evolution attack. An
evolution attack is triggered by continually hitting the attack button
(it will trigger after S6, you'll know because S6 is a charged attack).
Q.
Does the bodyguards HEAL skill heal your general as well?
A.
I'm sorry for jumping the gun on this too fast, yes, they do heal you.
Recently I noticed a bodyguard, (has a stave) using heal, and it healed
my officer 50 HP, so yes, it does. They tend to heal you when you get
dangerously low, or if you've been damaged a lot recently. Gotta love
'em.
Q.
When I choose an officer, his stats are high, but when I go to the
preparation screen in battle, his stats are lower. Why is this? And how
do I fix this?
A.
Quite honestly, I never noticed this. But some people have complained,
so I went to the GameFAQs board, and got some information (P.S. sorry for
not adding credit to you, I forgot your SN, if you read this, please
email me and give me your name so I can give you credit.)
~"The stats on the select character screen are for maxing the character
with items attained in battle such as Attack+1, Defense+8, ECT. The stats
bars on the item screen is for the stats bar with the character select
plus the stats added with items. So if you put on a weapon with 20 life
with a 20 peacock charm on someone with full life, you would max out the
item stats bar."~
Q.
Why should we listen to this FAQ?
A.
Because I said so, any questions? Good.

Future Updates - Planning the Dynasty Ahead
__________________________________________________________________
I plan to give a walkthrough and hints for the first Musou mission of
each character as I get on in the game, and play more. I also plan to
give the history of each character, NAME each character, and give which
of their moves are the best crowd clearers.
I also plan on finding all the Musou wine and Dim Sum locations.
Would like to give a brief way of obtaining 4th weapons for each
character.
-Would like to overhaul this whole thing, so it makes more sense.
