Okay so there are ...many "where/how do I get ____'s 4th weapon?" FAQs.

Why another?

Why THIS one?

The reason is that while countless FAQs exist about this information, none
of them have the information in a clear way for players playing the North
American release. I have played and collected all officers weapons in Musou
Mode, however, they can also be obtained in Free Mode as well.  NOTE: in
Free Mode, certain generals are swapped out with different generals
(Zhang Fei/Guan Yu for example) so I will also try to specify location
of generals whenever I possibly can.

..its been a while lol

To search ahead, use CTRL + F to search and type in [general name]'s 4th to
skip directly to whichever character you want.  Alternatively, type in
[kingdom name] to be brought to the particular faction and (presumably)
all allied officers.

It should go without saying that you need to be playing on HARD mode.

Also, you can use 2 players to get most (all?) of these weapons!

Player 1 must be who you are trying to get the 4th weapon of, player 2 can
be any other general.  A good strategy is to leave Player 1 at about the
location where the weapon will appear (item or supply team) and use
Player 2 to complete the requirements for the weapon.

I prefer using Lu Xun or Wei Yan
(4th weapon has easy to execute Vorpal) as Player 2.

Which brings us to:

Certain characters have an element tacked onto their 4th Weapon.
Fire (red flame) will ignite enemy troop/s causing damage as long as flame is
on.
Lightning (blue bolt) will place electricty on enemy who will make shocks
knocking all other enemies away from landing point.
Vorpal (purple check) will kill any non-general foe in 1 hit and will cut
current health of enemy general in half.

Up-and-at-them to the guide!!!

ZHAO YUN
Fierce Dragon
Fire (ssssT and sssssT)
Basic +43
HP +74
Attack +25
Defense +52
Musou +80
Chang Ban (Shu)
Supply Team (from Zhang He to northeast)
Defeat Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He; Cao Cao arrives (80 min mark)
After You defeat the generals and Cao Cao arives, fight near Liu Bei until a
cutscene.
If Liu Bei is already near the escape point, he has progressed too far. This
can be
done in any order, but it is easier to defeat Zhang He last so you are close to
the
supply team.

GUAN YU
Blue Moon Dragon
Lightning (sssstT)
Basic +49
HP +87
Attack +29
Defense +59
Fill +25
Guan Yu's Escape (Shu)
Supply Team (Moves south from 4th gate)
You only need to clear the 4th gate. Easy.

ZHANG FEI
Viper Blade
none
Basic +47
Attack +29
Defense +58
M.Attack +56
M.Defense +57
Fill +24
Chang Ban (Shu)
Supply Team (starts southeast, moves north)
Any officer will activate Chang Ban bridge cutscene, then defeat Xiahou
brothers.
Best bet is to lure a general to the bridge then save Liu Bei. Once Liu Bei has
no
one threatening him, mop up Xiahou Dun and collect the weapon off the team.

LIU BEI
Gold Moon Dragon
none
Basic +40
Speed +20
Mousou +70
M.Attack +44
M.Defense +52
Luck +22
Yi Ling (Shu)
Item Northeast of main Wu Camp
Defeat Sun Shang Xiang
If you like Liu Bei, this shouldn't be too hard.  Otherwise, play defense and
slowly
work your way around defeating enemy generals. The weapon will stay put so even
if
you have to defeat all of Wu by yourself, the weapon will wait fo you.

ZHUGE LIANG
Peacock Feather
Fire (ssssT)
Basic +40
Speed +22
Jump +22

Steel Dragon
Fire (sssssT)
Basic+42
Jump +21
M.Attack +60
M.Defense +60
Range +21
Tong Gate (Shu)
Spply Team (northern bridge moves northeast)
After Han Sui defects
I find either staying on Han Sui OR charging Cao Cao and luring him to Han Sui
to be the most effective way to get the weapon to spawn. (this was the hardest
weapon for me to get, I used 2 players every time lol)

HUANG ZHONG
Oracle Sword
none
Basic +44
Attack +23
Defense +45
A.Attack +60
A.Defense +58
Range +26
Itemwest of Cao Cao start position
Run straight down the big hill and defeat Xiahou Shang
This stage is somewhat difficult, but the weapon is easy to get.

JIANG WEI
Blink
Lightning (sssssT)
Basic +41
Musou +74
Attack +23
Luck +25
Jie Ting (Shu)
Supply Team (Northeast of Sima Yi moves to northwest gate)
Defeat Cao Zhen and Zhen Ji
I think there MAY be a time limit or something because I have only been able
to get the weapon by charging Zhen Ji and charging Cao Zhen from there.

WEI YAN
Double Comet
Vorpal (ssssTT, sssssTTT)
Basic +46
Jump +23
Attack+24
Defense +56

Jie Ting (Shu)
Item (by Ma Su)
After Ma Su is ambushed, defeat enemy general who ambushes Ma Su
Ma Su needs to survive.  After you save Ma Su get near the Wei Camp or possibly
rush head enemy general. After this, item will appear.

PANG TONG

A.Attack +46

Cheng Du (Shu)

XIAHOU DUN
Kirin Fang
Fire (sT)
Basic +48
Attack +22
A.Defense +60
M.Defense +56
Range +24
Guan Yu's Escape (Wei)
Item northeast of Guan Ping location
Defeat Zhou Cang, Chen Zhen and Guan Ping
The hardest part is surviving the archers and Guan Yu's movement speed.
The weapon will spawn as you defeat generals and progress through the stage.

DIAN WEI
Mad Bull
Lightning (ssssTT, sssssT)
Basic +49
Life +84
Attack +27
Fill +28
Wan Castle (Wei)
Supply Team (east of Hu Che Er moves towards Jia Xu)
Defeat Hu Che Er
Charge Hu Che Er and the team will run past you.  The quicker the better to
avoid having to fight more than just Hu Che Er or being squeezed away from
the supply captain. Not hard, but I have failed this one more times than I
can count. 2 Players may not be viable due to the tight nature of the stage
and the HUGE number of enemy soldiers.

XU ZHU
Stone Crusher
none
Basic +50
Musou +88
Life +86
Attack +28
Defense +58
Luck +27
Tong Gate (Wei)
Item southeast for Ma Chao's fort
Defeat Ma Dai and Pang De, then go through Tong Gate.
I have a problem with Tong Gate.  I figured out that the only thing Xu Zhu
needs to do personally is pass through the gate.  Ma Dai and Pang De need
to be beaten first. Just in case you couldn't tell, I used 2 players.

CAO CAO
Wrath of Heaven
Vorpal (sssssTTTT)
Basic+45
Attack +24
A.Attack +52
M.Attack +48
Range +24
Yellow Turban Rebellion (Han)
Supply Team (Northwest entry point toward Zhang Jiao)
Defeat Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang; do NOT lose/defeat any gate captains
The gate captain limitation makes a saddle VERY useful.  Also, the team moves
quick and is not very close to anything useful.  On the plus side, head
hunting the generals and the weapon makes a fast stage run to get this amazing
4th weapon.

XIAHOU YUAN
Demon Fang
Fire (ssssT)
Basic +45
Musou +84
Life+78
A.Attack +58
A.Defense +59
Mt. Ding Jun (Wei)
Item west of Huang Zhong
After Huang Zhong charges downhill, defeat Huang Zhong
You can fight your way up the hill, just get the cutscene before you kill
Huang Zhong. Usually happens pretty early on, sometimes, Zhong has some issue
with moving and it takes FOREVER.

ZHANG LIAO
Dragon Breath
none
Basic+48
Life +79
Attack +25
M.Attack +58
M.Defense +58
Range +21
He Fei (Wei)
Item north of broken bridge
Defeat Zhou Tai
He Fei being the battle that is built for Zhang Liao it was surprising that it
was so simple.  You can just run right in there and snipe Zhou Tai.  Nice.

SIMA YI
Dark Feather
Lightning (sssT)
Basic +40
Attack +28
A.Attack +50
M.Attack +55
Range +29
Fill +26
Wu Zhang Plains (Wei)
Supply Team (Zhang He) AND Item near Zhuge Liang
Defeat Zhang Bao to spawn team at 70 minute mark, Captain triggers item report
As long as you get Zhang Bao before the 20 minutes pass, this item is easy
..and odd :/

XU HUANG
Marauder
none
Basic +46
Speed +21
Musou +82
Attack +24
Luck +24
Range +22
Fan Castle (Wei)
Item Northeast on the ground
Defeat Guan Ping in under 10 minutes
As long as Guan Ping doesn't block too many attacks this isn't too hard
For a 2 Player run, leave someone on the ground.  As long as a player controlled
general is on the bottom, the water attack won't happen.  This gives you some
wiggle room if you can't decimate Guan Ping quick enough.

ZHANG HE
Peacock Talon
Vorpal (sssssTT)
Basic +43
Jump +23
Attack +24
Range +27
Fill +29
Guan Du (Wei)
Find supply depot before Yan Liang and Wen Chou are defeated
The Supply Depot's location is random.  This is the hardest part of this weapon.
If you want to 2 Player this one, make Guan Yu Player 2 and avoid Yan Liang and
Wen Chou to ensure a better chance of finding the Depot.

ZHEN JI
Dark Moon Flute
none
Basic +37
Speed +23
Defense +52
A.Attack +50
M.Attack +50
Range +25
Jie Ting (Wei)
Item near Zhuge Liang
Defeat Jiang Wei
I was under the impression that Zhen Ji would have to go after someone she had
some sort of agenda against or any sort of history with.  Instead, just bag
Jiang Wei. Who knew?

ZHOU YU
Ancient's Sword
Fire (sT, ssssT)
Basic +46
Attack +23
Defense +50
Range +26
Fill +27
Chi Bi (Wu)
Item south of Cao Cao
Defeat Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang
There is no time limit but just make sure you don't let an ally kill the
targets.

LU XUN
Falcon
Vorpal (sssT)
Basic +42
Speed +22
Musou +75
Defense +43
Range +29
Yi Ling (Wu)
Item northeast of maze
With Lu Meng and Gan Ning alive, go through maze and defeat Zhuge Liang.
Your allies want to die.  Either clear out the entire map or blitz through the
maze and headhunt Zhuge Liang. I happen to like Lu Xun so this wasn't too hard,
but I zoomed the maze and Zhuge to get this.  Also, a weapon will activate
on any difficulty, but you will only get the unique 4th weapon on Hard.

TAISHI CI
Tiger Slayer
Lightning (sssT, sssstT)
Basic +45
Life +81
Attack +26
A.Attack +55
M.Attack +51
Wu Territory (Allies)
Item by north central gate
Defeat all enemy officers except Sun Ce
This is a simple stage and Taishi Ci is a beast so you shouldn't have trouble.
With Taishi Ci being all armored up I thought he would have a more defensive
weapon. Maybe his splint mail is made out of razor blades?
..The world will never know...

SUN SHANG XIANG
Sol Chakram
none
Basic +40
Speed +23
Jump +22
Life +66
Luck +23
Range +30
You Ting (Wu)
Item Cao Xiu's start position
Defeat Cao Xiu
SSX has a really powerful moveset.  That having been said, grab a decent
level 3 and go to town all over Cao Xiu's face!

SUN JIAN
Savage Wolf
Fire (ssssT)
Basic +43
Musou +76
Life +68
Attack+22
Defense +49
Suprise Attack on Liu Biao (Wu)
Item on path leading to Lu Gong
Defeat Lu Gong
You know what I like? Cheating death.  You know what's better than
cheating death? Mistranslations. The Sun Clan was all about TIGERS,
hence, Sun Jian being known as the Tiger of Jian Dong.  So It only
makes sense to give him the Savage Tiger.  I mean, wolf...?

SUN QUAN
Master Wolf
Basic +42
Musou +68
Attack +22
A.Attack +49
A.Defense +50
Fill +26
He Fei Castle (Wu)
Item east of Archer Pond
Defeat Zhang He
Aside from this needing to be the Master Tiger (which makes no sense)
the hardest thing about this is not setting off the game-ending-in-death
archer ambush.

LU MENG
White Tiger
Lightning (sssssT)
Basic+42
Speed +22
Musou +75
Defense +43
Range +29
Fan Castle (Wu)
Item southeast quadrant near the middle
Defeat Guan Ping
I really like Lu Meng a lot.  He has a solid moveset and a great Musou.
I was disappointed with how simple this weapon is to earn.  Unlike other
characters, there is no time limit or anything, just beat Guan Ping.

GAN NING
Sea Master
Lightning (sssssTT)
Basic +46
Speed +22
Jump +21
Attack +25
Luck +26
Fill +28
He Fei (Wu)
Supply Team (nortwest to southwest)
Wait for Taishi Ci to be killed by Zhang Liao
Want to know what is a lot of fun? Being able to pick up Gan Ning's final
weapon before playing with him even once.  With no requirement aside from
someone else's death, Gan Ning is even more awesome.

HUANG GAI
Black Shadow
none
Basic +44
Life +82
Defense +57
M.Attack +52
Range +23

Chi Bi (Wu)
Item north of Alter
Defeat Zhang Liao
I had problems because the marker on the map is wrong.
Search in a VERY wide radius.

SUN CE
Overlord
Fire (ssssT, sssssT)
Basic +42
Speed +21
Jump +20
Musou +80
Life +72
Assault on Wu Territory (Wu)
Item southwest of Taishi Ci
Defeat Liu Yong and get Tasishi Ci to defect
Popping Liu Yong makes Taishi Ci like you. Or something.

DA QIAO
True Beauty
none
Basic +37
Musou +64
Life +65
Attack +22
Defense +48
Luck +29
You Ting (Wu)
Item cul de sac in northwest of map
Defeat Zhang He
So remember how I said I got all these in Musou Mode? Well Da Qiao
doesn't go to You Ting, so this one is required that you play in Free Mode.
-_-
Aside from having to play Da Qiao this is an easy weapon to get.
..I used 2 players.

XIAO QIAO
True Grace
Vorpal (sssssTTT)
Basic +38
Speed +24
Defense +47
Luck +28
Fill +30
Nanman (Wu)
Item Gan Ning
Defeat Zhu Rong
I don't enjoy playing as either Qiao because both movesets feel
clunky to me. If you can manage to land her full final charge string
against enemies you will do obscene damage but due to poor AI targeting
I am lucky to land the even first. This weapon is fairly easy to get,
you can headhunt Zhu Rong or just play normally until Zhu Rong charges out.
Either way  nets you the item aslong as you kill Zhu Rong.

Hu Lao Gate (Dong Zhuo)
Item west of Fan Shui Gate
Defeat Yuan Shu
Lu Bu will atomize Yuan Shu if you don't hustle.

LU BU
Sky Scorcher
Lightning (sssT, sssstT, sssssT)
Basic +50
Jump +24
Musou +90
Life +90
Attack +30
Defense +60
Hu Lao Gate (Dong Zhou)
Supply Team (northeast gate toward Cao Cao)
Defeat Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei
I personally try to isolate Guan Yu (or Zhang Fei) and kill him, then beat
Liu Bei. This causes the remaining brother to "retreat" or "stop fighting back"
and makes this a little easier.  Also, as Lu Bu is the "best" final weapon,
why give him +jump?

DONG ZHOU
Grand Star
Lightning (sssstT)
Basic +41
Life +70
Defense +45
Range +25
Hu Lao Gate (Dong Zhou)
Item behind Xu Rong
Defeat Diao Chan
This weapon is hard to get. I was unable to get this by myself.
Diao Chan being the tank she is likes to die faster than a wet paper bag and
unless she lives long enough for the entire rest of your army to die she won't
defect. I ended up keeping her alive by haing a friend take Player 2 and we
boxed
her in with our horses and dragged her away from all possible threats until she
defected. Aside from Tong Gate's weapons this one made me pull out my hair the
most: and it isn't even that good of a weapon! >:O

YUAN SHAO
Grand Master

Basic +44
Jump +20
Musou +78

A.Attack +51
M.Attack +46
Guan Du (Yuan Shao)
Supply Team (southeastern fort toward southeastern gate)
Keep Wen Chou alive for 10 minutes
Even though Guan Yu will auto-kill Wen Chou, the challenge is getting Wen Chou
to survive long enough for you to defeat Guan Yu first.  I did this alone
(somehow)
but it is advised that one player babysit Wen Chou and the other player headhunt
Guan Yu and the third player can snipe the supply team.  Oh yeah, that's the
OTHER mircale that needs to be done for this one. Pity that you don't get
anything
useful on this weapon to merit such daring deeds.

ZHANG JIAO
Volcano Staff
Fire (ssssT) (as well as normally on his sssT and sssssT)
Basic +37
Musou +72
Attack +43
Range +27
Yellow Turban Rebellion (Yellow Turban)
Item north main river
Defeat all of Liu Bei, Cao Cao or Sun Jian officers
Ever mess up getting a character's final weapon and wished you could have
another chance? Zhang Jiao calls upon the heavens and was granted this
mircale. I suggest trying for Liu Bei first as he only has 3 officers that
need be defeated, then Cao Cao then Sun Jian. Also be aware of your allies
because
as this is a very easy stage they tend to either kill off your objectives or get
run over, making it a Zhang Jiao vs the world kind of battle. -_-

MENG HUO
King of Beasts
Fire (sssssT)
Basic +48
Life +88
Attack +27
M.Attack +54
M.Defense +54
Nanman (Nanman)
Item west of the center
Defeat Ma Chao, Zhang Yi and Mai Dai
On free mode the generals are different but Meng Huo is burly enough to defeat
everyone by himself anyway. Storm across the battlefield!!! o_0

ZHU RONG
Magma Wheel
Fire (sssT, ssssT)
Basic +42
Musou +72
Defense +52
A.Defense +52
Range +26
Nanman (Nanman)
Item central bridge
Dong Tu Na and Ahui Nan both survive for 15 minutes
Ma Chao needs to be removed before he kills Ahui Nan. Once that is set headhunt
the next closest generals and work on anything that gets near either of your
glass allies. These guys also REALLY want to die. Keep checking the map and
charge
down anything that is even remotely a threat to either of these two.  This isn't
really the hardest weapon to get, but I advise a fast horse: just in case.

FU XI
Fu Xi's Sword
Fire (ssssT, sssssT...)
Basic +46
Attack +26
Defese +51
Range +23
Fill +24
Suprise Attack on Liu Biao (Liu Biao)
Item north part of beach
Defeat Huang Gai
Fu Xi was an ancient Emperor/God figure. He comes back from the mysts of legend
to exact holy vengance against none other than ...Huang Gai?  While  it doesn't
make much sense this stage is pretty simple and Sun Jian gets taken out all by
himself so there's that also going for you.

NU WA
Nu Wa's Rapier
Vorpal (sssssTTT)
Musou +62
Life+62
Attack +21
Defense +46
Wan Castle (Zhang Xiu)
Item north of Dian Wei
Defeat Dian Wei
Nu Wa is an ancient Emperoress/God figure associated with the creating of
..farming?
Uh, she is upset with Dian Wei's refusal to lay down and die as it is an
affront to
all the lame deaths that everyone else has where they bleed and lay down and
stop
breathing...
..IDK...
This one gives me problems because my disk is scratched and I can get the item
to
spawn and then the game goes into and endless loop of displaying where the item
is
and the enemies stop moving and fighting back and I can't get the stage to end.
:'(
If someone would be so kind as to verify this one, I would appreciate it. :-D
