1. Introduction
=================
Hello, this my first FAQ on Samurai Warriors 2 US version. Don't expecting much
from this guide, because I'm still newbie and may be there are so much fault.
With this, I try to introduce yourself with a musketeer in 1560 from Japan.
Magoichi has a rare weapon in his age, called rifle equip with a bayonet, which
make his weapon suit him for battle in short distance as well as for long
distance.
===============================================================================
=========================
2. Character Personality
=========================
Saika Magoichi, also called Saiga Magoichi or in western order Magoichi Saika,
was the name given to the leader of the Saika Mercenaries. The Saika Mercenary
were members of the Saiga monto ("monto" meaning "believer" in Japanese), a
buddhist people of Kishu (kii province). Suzuki Sadayu and Suzuki Shigehide
were examples of people who held this title. Suzuki Shigehide is perhaps the
better known of the two, known for supporting the Ikko resistance against Oda
Nobunaga.

6. Magoichi Saika's Story
==========================
Magoichi's story tales consist of 5 stages and 1 dreams stages. Each stage will
become progressively harder, the first being the easiest, and dreams being the
hardest one. I will try to write down my method to complete his story.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===================
Battle of Anegawa
===================
Overview : To avenge Nagamasa Azai and Asakura Clan, Nobunaga Oda met for a
battle in Anegawa with his allies, Ieyasu Tokugawa. Oda outnumbered
the Azai ten to one, although Asakura outnumbered Tokugawa three to
one.
Conditions
Victory : Defeat Yoshikage Asakura and Nagamasa Azai
Defeat : Nobunaga Oda or Ieyasu Tokugawa is defeated
Walkthrough
-----------
You started at northeastern most of the map. There you should see 2 officer.
They're Masazumi Azai and Kazumasa Isono. They shouldn't be that hard to take.
Beware of Hideyoshi, since he try to kill steal your target, too. You can take
the northeastern Castle by beating a couple of defense captain.
Now make your way to Nagamasa Azai main camp, where Oichi should be waiting for
you to kill. Defeats Naotsune Endo and open the gate to Oichi. In progress, you
might have seen an event that Azai charge through Oda main camp. Follow the
suggestion from Hideyoshi, don't bother with him. Just defeat Oichi and he will
said about fatigue get rid of him. Still, don't bother with him until a message
that he said "This will be my final attack" appears, and break him limb from
limb. He has Hyper mode, so he wouldn't let you kill him easily.
Now, do anything, but most important is keep Ieyasu alive. After you beat Azai,
now the Asakura rally and charge through. There will be 5 on 1, where the 5 are
the Asakura, and the one is Tadakatsu, if another Ieyasu officer is already
dead. Help him (Tadakatsu is strong, but no match for 1 on 5 battle, huh?) and
kill Yoshikage Asakura to finish the stage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=====================
Battle of Osaka Bay
=====================
Overview : After the long battle, he went home and receive a job from Honganji
Temple, about distract the Oda Army. Confuse, he decided to take a
look and knowing that Oda will create naval blockade. His job as
mercenaries took him to frees the bay from blockade.
Conditions
Victory : Defeat Nobunaga Oda
Defeat : Main Camp is captured
Walkthrough
-----------
You started at Main Camp, eastern most of map. To make morale boost, go forward
to the western ship and defeat Murashige Araki. It'll make the western plank
lowered. Go northern and defeat Hideyoshi Hashiba. Now make your way back to
boat where yo beat Murashige and go towards Takeyoshi Murakami and beat Nobutada
Oda (Mission). Now Terutomo Mori appears and mission to escort him appears. Make
your way north towards Toshiie Maeda, kill him and his peons. When you reach
land, defeat Katsuie Shibata and Ujisato Gamo.
When the provision has arrived, Nobunaga's Naval Warships appear bring you some
officer to beat. Mitsuhide Akechi is your first target. Go and teach him no
mercy. Quickly defeat Kazumasa Takigawa and then Yoshitaka Yuki that appears
near your main camp to complete mission Defend main camp (South eastern
Garrison). Not complete yet, beat Nagahide Niwa and Narimassa Sassa in your way
towards Northwestern Garrison. Near the end, defeat Hidemasa Hori and go south
to the boat. The second gate to Oda's main camp won't open, so use boat and
back track towards south of Ranmaru Mori. Defeat him quickly and show there's
no girl that deny Magoichi's charm (he thinks Ranmaru is a girl).
After that, the east gate of northwestern garrison open, and don't forget to
kill No first, as she intends to bother your duel with Nobunaga Oda. Now it's
time to show off some skill in front of Nobunaga Oda. The best way to kill him
is use your R1 + T to kill his peons, as well this attack break through his
block. Defeat him and the stage ends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===================
Asssault on Saika
===================
Overview : Nobunaga is unforgiving person, knowing that he lost, he assault
Magoichi's homelands. Burn by rage, Magoichi took a step to kill
Nobunaga Oda, the Demon King.
Conditions
Victory : Defeat Nobunaga Oda
Defeat : Magoichi Saika or Sadayu Suzuki is defeated
Walkthrough
-----------
You start at northeastern corner of map, near a stronghold. A mission to kill
your friend, Hideyoshi appears, because he's right in front of you. No matter
don't give him a chance. Continue travel forward and defeat Toshiie Maeda to
complete mission rescue Morishige Tsuchihashi. Back track and defeat Narimassa
Sassa and Hidemasa Hori. Make your way south to the southeastern garrison and
rescue Magoroku Saika. Before you enter, there's Murashige Araki forward. Beat
him and enter the garrison.
You'll be locked here and you given a mission to rescue Magoroku Saika. He may
be in trouble, so let's go defeat Nobumori Sakuma. The gate will open and at
the western gate, Fujitaka Hosokawa waiting for you. Make your way west after
defeat him and meet Yasuie Namikawa, who is attacking Ujiyoshi Horinouchi.
Complete the mission to save him. Now, travel west again and defeat Mitsuhide.
He is rather strong, but a mission pop up to defeat him. Defeat him qucikly
with your musou.
Still, travel west and rescue Yoshimasa Satake by defeating Junkei Tsutsui.
Enter the village and go where Katsuie Shibata is waiting. Defeat him and
complete the last mission to rescue Yoshimasa Oka. With all officers gather in
the center, Nobunaga Oda will launch a dirty trick, it is fire tactic, burn the
village with all of the officers.
The Oda Army is advancing, give you the way to open the gate. Your first target
must be Kazumasa Takigawa, Nagahide Niwa, followed by Ranmaru Mori. 3 on 1 is
an unfair battle, but equip fire elemental weapon will help you to break them.
The rest are Nobutada Oda, No, and Nobunaga Oda. Kill No and Nobutada first,
because they will help you to increase your experience (what else? morale? the
fire tactic has decreased it). Nobunaga here is more annoying. He defense a lot
attack stronger, and Hyper mode, but if you can press your musou right in time,
he won't be that much pain. Use STTT or SSTTT to damage him a lot, but musou
can help you to counter his attacks. Defeat him and the stage ended.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
=====================
Escape from Honnoji
=====================
Overview : After the incident at Honnoji, he manage to escape from the truth
that he has killed Nobunaga Oda.
Conditions
Victory : Magoichi reach the Garrison -->Defeat Nobunaga -->Defeat Kotaro Fuma
Defeat : Sadayu or Magoichi Saika is defeated
Walkthrough
-----------
Most annoying stage in this game. You can't see the map neither know your right
position in this game. But I'll make a reference map to help you out.

Start from S, go litle forward and you're distracted by Hidemitsu Akechi. Beat
him and continue forward. You'll get a mission to Rescue the peatsants. Kill a
Raider and continue forward. But if desire more money, go to the right and a
mission pop up to kill 2 raider in O. After you continue forward, a rescue the
peasants appears again in R2. Now kill 2 raiders and travel to the right towards
N. There, you'll be ambushed by Ranmaru Mori and No. Kill them. Don't forget
where you put your horse. Make your way forward to G.
After several dialogs, Shigetomo Akechi will order to attack. The garrison gate
closed, but if you defeat the guardian officer (Toshimitsu or Shigetomo), it'll
be open. Enter and meet the reborn Demon King, Nobunaga Oda. He is sure fast
and devastating, but after you kill him, he's just an ordinary generic soldier.
Kotaro Fuma appears in somewhere in this map.
To make him appears, go to south towards R3. There will be another rescue the
peasants mission, but your enemy will be a Raider and a Marauder. After that,
back track to garrison, and get out to south again. He is usually appears in the
eastern side, the path that connect G and R3. Defeat him, but he's quite
strong, so he doesn't intend to lose so easily. After you defeat him, Hideyoshi
Hashiba will appears, and stage ends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
====================
Battle of Yamazaki
====================
Overview : After being helped by Hideyoshi, the two decided march againts the
Akechi at Yamazaki. This is greatest which will decide who would
carry on Nobunaga Oda's dreams.
Conditions
Victory : Defeat Mitsuhide Akechi
Defeat : Any allied officer is defeated
Walkthorugh
-----------
Quite difference between this battle in story and free mode. Any allied officer
defeated is most annoying, but let's go. Make your way forward to the Soryuji.
Defeat Kaneaki Mimaki, since he's on your way forward. Defeat 1 of the defense
captains, and make your way inside. A mission appears "Help Masanori Fukushima
and seize Soryuji." Defeat Sadayuki Atsuji to complete it. Back track towards
Mt. Tenno. While you're exitting Soryuji, Nobuharu Tsuda will ambush you, so
quickly defeat him and continue travel north.
Make your way to the center of Mt. Tenno and wait until message that Hashiba
army has seized Mt. Tenno, new allies will come. He is Sakon Shima of Tsutsui.
Before you get in to Mt. Tenno, Kotaro Fuma will appears. Now is the perfect
opportunity take him down. Beware of 2 officer near him, because 3 on 1 here
making your position worst. They are Yasuie Namikawa and Masachika Matsuda.
Defeat Kotaro first, then get rid of them.
Ambush unit will appear near Soryuji, and it's your duty to take those unit.
A mission appears "Defeat Akechi ambush unit." Defeat Katsusada Shibata and
Toshimitsu Saito, because they are trying to annoy Masanori and Sakon.
Now, new ambush unit appear right in front of each gate towards Mt. Tenno.
Then Hideyoshi will order Kiyomasa Kato to guard the Cannons. A mission appears
to escort him to Mt. Tenno. You don't need escort him, all you have to do is
defeat Kunitsugu Yasuda who has waited right in front of Mt. Tenno west gate.
To make a morale boost, defeat Sadaoki Ise in Mt. Tenno north gate.
Now, Hidemitsu Akechi and Shigetomo Akechi will charge out. Defeat them, and
the only one left is Mitsuhide Akechi. Enter his main camp, and the Hosokawa
Ambush unit appear inside of Mt. Tenno. A mission to defend Mt. Tenno pop up,
so you must kill Fujitaka Hosokawa and Tadaoki Hosokawa. They're stronger than
any generic officer, but still no match than Kotaro Fuma's fierce attack. Then,
for the finishing, rush the Mitsuhide Akechi main camp, and kill him. He has a
Hyper Mode active, so it would be wise if you fighting him at long distance, or
let the allies make him dying. Finish him, and you have complete Magoichi Saika
Tales.

Dreams - Showdown at Mikatagahara
===================================
How to unlock it?
Beat Magoichi Saika Story and Masamune Date Story once (not including dreams)
Overview : After surviving the heavy wound being shot, he wandered the Japan
and finally met Masamune Date, who actually trying to down the
Tokugawa after Hideyoshi died
Conditions
Victory : Defeat Ieyasu Tokugawa
Defeat : Magoichi Saika or Masamune Date is defeated, main camp is captured
Walkthrough
-----------
From the start, you must knowing the truth. Dreams is harder than every stages
that you have beaten. So, it's not wise to rush into Musashi, except that you
want to beat him normally. Start from the north path, make your way to
northeast garrison. A mission to seize the northeast garrison appears. Seize it
by killing Yoshinao Tokugawa. Then, travel south and defeat Naotaka Ii. Now,
back track to west garrison to appears a mission to take the west garrison.
Still same, just defeat Yorinobu Tokuagawa, and you'll seize the west garrison.
Still, the south gate of west garrison can't be open yet. Then, backtrack to
north path that will lead a way to central garrison. Musashi will angered
knowing there's nobody try to defeat him, he get out from the garrison.
Wait until he lured out into the trap. Once he get into the trap, a scene
begins and he lost his Hyper Mode and turn into normal. Don't ever think that
will make far easier. It's different only a bit, because he still the same
Musashi, Slayer of Men, who has higher ability and speed compared to Tadakatsu
Honda. Be careful when he uses charge attack, it'll break through your guard
and it's quite fast. Safer method is defeat him by using musou. After defeating
him, you'll claim the central garrison as your main camp now.
Your main camp still in dangerous status. Kill anybody outside the garrison to
make sure that nobody can kill your main camp captain. After doing so, go to
southwestern cliff, where Masanobu Honda's archer ambush unit appear. Kill him
and if you desire, his peons too. Now jump down towards Tadachika Okubo and
kill him. Not long, reinforcements from Kojuro Katakura appear in northeast
garrison to help your morale.
Now, head to Hamatsu Castle, Ieyasu Tokugawa's main camp. When you reach that,
lure Tadamasa Honda to get out from inner gate. It'll make life easier that you
have to defeat him alone, than you bumped into 2 on 1. After that, towards
Ieyasu position, where you should be locked in Hamatsu Castle. He is now Hanzo
Hattori, while Ieyasu retreat. Kill Hanzo quickly and get out from Hamatsu
Castle. Enemy reinforcements will arrived in north path where you start this
stage. They are Tadakatsu Honda and Tadanao Matsudaira who will charge your
main camp, while the other two are Hidetada Tokugawa and Tadateru Matsudaira
who will charge your west garrison. Ina, too will open the gate to her east
garrison.
Now, charge Ina first, as she is being the closest to your position. She rather
quick and strong, but not worse compared than Musashi Miyamoto you just kill.
After defeat her, travel west towards Tadakatsu and Tadanao. Kill Tadakatsu
first, then Tadanao. Don't worry about Ieyasu, although you lose if he get to
escape point, he won't do that if you clear all the way and your allied officer
will distract him. Now, focus on west garrison that being attacked by Hidetada.
A mission appears to defend the west garrison, so quickly defeat Hidetada and
his allies, Tadateru. After doing so, make your way to the place where your
allies distract Ieyasu and defeat him. Then, you have beaten Magoichi Saika
Dreams.

||
I'll make it to the point. Start from S and travel forward. Defeat Hidemtsu
Akechi, and continue forward. In R1, ignore the peasants, continue forward, and
ignore the peasants once again in R2. Make sure that in this stage that you
have a horse with good speed, such Matsukaze or Persian Mare. Now, turn right
and wait for No and Ranmaru coming at you in N. It's to avoid your horse stuck
in the fog. Defeat both of them and continue travel forward.
Now, go to the garrison, open the garrison gate by defeating the officer, and
face Nobunaga Oda. He's quite strong, as this is hard mode, so it's better to
have Opportunity 1 or 2, and Awakening 2. Defeating him may be a pain, but it's
not an impossible way to do it. And defeat him not taking too much time. Only
about 1 or 2 minutes. After defeat him, do interim save (must).
Now, go to H area, where you start this level. There will be a supply captain
running with some peons with him, if you're fast enough and and manage to take
the right path. So, from the garrison, go south until dead end (a stronghold,
maybe) and turn right until dead end again. Still nobody, then turn right
again. In your journey, you might find an officer wandering inthis forest. Oh
yeah, almost forget, ignore the peasants from the Marauder. 1st, it's take much
time, 2nd, he likely to take your health down. Remember, save your health to
face Kotaro Fuma. When you see a supply captain, kill him with no mercy, and
grab your weapon. Now, make your way to eastern area while waiting Kotaro Fuma
appears. Don't bother yourself with Marauder. Beat him, and finish the stage.
===============================================================================
===================
8. Tips and Tricks
===================
There are some tricks to maximize the usage of Magoichi. Some rare skill might
be needed to complete it.
Infinite Money Usage
--------------------
Many people know this trick, but I'll explain again.
1. Do a story mode and do an interim save. Now quit game.
2. Save in Options
3. Choose continue in main menu. In preparation set up, press T to back to menu

Elemental Special Attack
------------------------
Your special attack can be enchant with element if you do this. First, fill up
your musou gauge until at least 1 gauge full. Then press SSST to burst element
shots. Now, you can have an elemental shots if you manage his special attack.
This is only last until you ride the horse.
The elemental effect based on your weapon element. Here is some explaination of
each element.
Fire : deal extra damage, but didn't burn the enemy, unless they die
Lighting: deal extra damage, but didn't stun unless they die
Ice : deal extra damage, freeze enemies, but for his R1+S, it won't work
Wind : deal extra damage
Shura : deal extra damage the most of any elements, and works very well.
Easy Trick to Kill an Officer
-----------------------------
Need some time and preparation, but easy to abuse. You need Awakening 3 and
level 3 Musou. To done it, fill up your musou gauge until full. Focus 3 and
Master 4, and Rage 3 will help alot. When facing an hyper officer, such Keiji
Maeda, or Tadakatsu Honda, roll to their back and unleash your lv. 3 Musou.
With this, the enemy will keep steady in ground, while taking heavy damage from
shura element. With this, you can easily kill hyper officer in 2 or 3 musou.
Tips
----
1. Use R1+T a lot, to keep enemy officer in a distance, or break through their
guard. With Pierce skill that gotten in level 30, this move will change from
guard breaker, into a crowd killer.
2. Roll, after the enemy guard. They will most likely to attack after they have
a chance, so make this chance to your chance to execute SSTTT, STTT, or even
Musou level 3.
3. When on horseback, SSST will throw the enemy away from you. Combine it with
Marksman's Pride's Range, and you'll see how many hit that you gotten.
4. Deal most hit in each level. Not only increasing your rank in the end of
stage, but also improve your money and exp that you'll gotten. To do it
easily, equip your lightning element weapon, and abuse the elemental special
attack. Or, bring your rifle bodyguard (they don't intend to kill steal) and
unleash your double musou. See how many hit that you've been scored.
5. Try to maxed out all of Growth and Ability skills, also Discern and Prodigy.
It'll help you to find better weapon to equip. Best element is Shura. Try to
search it throughly in each stage.
6. Use his Plunder 1 ability to make more money and more weapon. Learn location
of each yellow boxes and it's contains. Plunder 1 will be learn at level 20
