1. Introduction
--------------------------------------------

Hello, my name is LordofWei and this is my very first FAQ. I'm a long time
veteran of Koei's Dynasty and Samurai Warriors games. I was really excited
when I heard about SW2 first time (because I thought SW1 and XL were awesome
games >_>) and I immediately bought it when I had the chance. So now I'm happy
owner of SW2. But let's get started with my FAQ.

This FAQ is about Sakon Shima, one of the ten new characters introduced in
SW2. Before SW2 was announced I was already a big fan of this guy, so you
can't imagine how I felt when I heard he's going to be playable.

Sakon is calm and wise tactician. When playing his Story Mode, he decides to
join Mitsunari Ishida and help him to unify the land. Most of the characters
in game, however, can't understand why Sakon wastes his talents to someone
like Mitsunari. Sakon wields two-handed broadsword and is specialized to massive
enemy troops. Almost all of his attacks are excellent in crowds and you can
clear them quickly.

2. Biography of Sakon Shima
--------------------------------------------

Shima Sakon, also known as Shima Tomoyuki, Shima Kiyooki or
Katsukatake, was the retainer of Tsutsui and Toyotomi clans. During his times
with the Tsutsui, together with Matsukura Ukon Shigenobu, they were
known as the Right and Left hands of Tsutsui. After his master Tsutsui
Junkei passed away in 1584, he retired, but not for long time. Later Sakon
would leave Tsutsui clan and join to forces of Ishida Mitsunari, who offered
an extraordinarily generous and polite proposal to Sakon. There was a saying
among people, "Ishida Mitsunari doesn't deserve two things, Shima Sakon and
Sawayama Castle."

Sakon was indeed the most famous warrior and strategist under Mitsunari's
service and was a great help for him during the Campaign of Sekigahara, which
eventually ended to defeat of Mitsunari's forces. Before the Battle of
Sekigahara, Sakon quarreled with Shimazu Yoshihiro who suggested a night
attack, which Sakon opposed. At the battle Sakon fought fiercely with
only 1,000 men, but in the end he and his two sons were slain by rifle fire
in the battlefield of Sekigahara. It's said that Sakon possesed the skills of
famous Honda Tadakatsu in Sekigahara. Sakon also wielded his famous two-handed
falchion.

It could be said Shima Sakon was famous, but mysterious retainer as well.
His birthplace, original clan and accurate age at death for example are
questionable to historians. However, legend has it that Sakon's wife and
daughters were hiding during Battle of Sekigahara. Later Sakon's descendant
Shima Kichijiro would build Sakon's grave to Kikawa Graveyard in 1934.

3. Unlocking Sakon Shima
-------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------
4. Move List
------------------------------------------

Type: Special
The main development is found in the increase of Special Move strength.

S = Square
T = Triangle

Normal attacks:

SSS: Sakon slashes to left side with his sword, then to right and again to
    left.

SSS+SSSSS: Sakon slashes to left side with his sword, then to right and again
          to left, he then starts spinning with his sword to clockwise
          direction.

X+S: Sakon does a downward slash with his sword.

Dash+S: Sakon does an upward slash to his left side, turns arounds and does
       downward slash to his left side.

Charge attacks:

T(T): Sakon does a big swing with his sword to right side. Then he grabs one
     enemy with his left arm, runs a short distance and hits the enemy
     with his sword.

S+T(T): Sakon slashes upwards while doing a small spin with his sword. If the
       attack connects, he stabs his sword to the ground, which causes
       a small earhquake around him. This attack damages all enemies
       near him.

SS+T(T): Sakon makes a quick slash to left side with his sword. Then he does
        a small spin and smashes his sword to the ground damaging all
        enemies near him.

SSS+T(T): Sakon causes a 360 shockwave attack with his sword. He then puts his
         sword close to the ground, slashes upwards and shoots an
         energy beam from his sword damaging all enemies in front
         of him.

X+T: Sakon slams his sword into ground and damages all enemies near him.

Special attacks:

Special 1 (R1+S[SS])
Description: Damage all enemies within a specific range.

R1+S: Sakon stabs his sword into ground once and causes a fire circle around
     him. All enemies who are inside the circle get hit by fire.

        around him. All enemies who are inside the circle get hit by
        lightning.
R1+S(SS): Sakon stabs his sword into ground three times and causes an ice
         circle around him. All enemies who are inside the circle get hit by
         ice.

Special 2 (R1+T[TT])

            elemental attack of your current weapon/Musou attack)

R1+T: Basic arrows give cover fire for Sakon.
R1+T(T): More powerful arrows give cover fire for Sakon.
R1+T(TT): Charged rifle shots give cover fire for Sakon. These
         bullets are also faster than others.

    his right side.

SS+T: Sakon does a horizontal attack to his right side stunning enemies at the
     same time.

SSS+T: First Sakon does a quick slash to right side and then does another
      quick slash to left side with his sword.

Deadlock: Sakon does a huge downward slash to his left side, then while
         turning around he does another huge slash to his right side and his
         back is facing towards the enemy when he is finished.

Musou attacks:

Level 1: Sakon does quick slashes to his left and right sides with his sword.
Level 2: His attacks are stronger and his reach is a bit longer.
Level 3: A "Meteor Storm" gives cover fire for Sakon while he
        keeps slashing with his sword.

True Musou: When your life is at critical or you have Awakening 2, you are
           able to perform True Musou. Fire element is added to your
           attacks and Sakon spins three times with his sword near
           the end of Musou attack.

Double Musou: This is performed when you and your bodyguard or 2nd player have
             Musou bar full. Double Musou is just like True Musou,
             except Lightning element is added to your attacks.

Ultimate Musou: The most powerful Musou attack in game. Can only be used with
               level 3 Awakening skill. Your attacks have Shura
               element.

------------------------------------------
5. How to use Sakon effectively
------------------------------------------

Sakon's greatest advantages are his long range and crowd clearing abilities.
When facing big crowds, you can stick with his S string and Charge attacks.
You don't need to rely to his Musou attack often, but once you obtain
level 3 Musou, then you should make good use of it. Not only it's effective
against crowds, but generals too (may require some practise). Simply put them
against wall or high object and when you see an opening, unleash your Musou
attack, hold L1 and aim the meteors towards general. With Awakening 3, even
super-hyper-mode generals die in just few seconds.
As for Sakon's Special attacks, they are useful when used in right situations.
Special 1 shouldn't be used when fightning against strong generals, because
they like to block it or hit you before you can execute the attack. Only use it
in crowds. Special 2, however, is a different story. This move is best to use
when you face more than one general. Usually they manage to juggle you, but
cover fire prevents them from doing that.

At this point, you probably wonder has Sakon got any disadvantages? Well,
of course he has. It seems that his Charge attacks have a bit slow execution
time (especially his S+TT) and that's why facing more than one general without
level 3 Musou is sometimes really annoying. Your only real advantage is his
SS+TT. See, enemies have hard time to block this move, because they don't
understand to turn around after the slash and then the slam in the end hits them
almost everytime. So before you get this move, avoid getting surrounded
by generals.

Another unfortunate thing is his 4th weapon. Base attack and stats are good, but
it doesn't have Lightning or Ice element, which would help him really really
much in crowds or against generals. If you are trying to make better third
weapon for him, this would be pretty good:

Element: Ice/Lightning
Attack +60
MuCha +60
Musou +40

His range is good enought, so no need for that. And you really don't need
defense when using character like Sakon, who is great in crowds. Attack+ just
increases the damage his S string, Charge and Musou attacks deal. Musou+ gives
you better chances to kill enemy generals with level 3 Musou and MuCha+ allows
you to use it often.

That's all I have to say. Rest is up to you.

6. Sakon's Tale
------------------------------------------

NOTE: I'm just telling you the strategies for each stage, so you can read
     this section without worrying about the spoilers.

Chapter 1: Battle of Yamazaki

Hashiba Army vs. Akechi Army
Victory Conditions: Defeat Mitsuhide.
Defeat Conditions: Hideyoshi or Hidenaga is defeated.

Strategy: Here we go! Immediately take the stronghold next to you and defeat
         Kaneaki Mimaki. Don't seize Shoryuji just yet. Instead head to
         north where two Akechi generals Masachika Matsuda and Yasuie
         Namikawa are. You get the mission to prevent their entry to
         Mt. Tenno. Do so by defeating them. Now go seize Mt. Tenno by
         heading to the summit of mountain. Mitsunari launches an ambush
         soon at Mt. Tenno, but ignore these generals for now. Go back
         to Shoryuji and seize it by defeating Sadayuki Atsuji there.
         Before you head back to Mt. Tenno, defeat Nobuhara Tsuda
         who appeared from south stronghold just a while ago. Another
         ambush unit appears, but this time near Shoryuji. Deal with
         them later. Once you arrive at Mt. Tenno, defeat Kunitsugu
         Yasuda and Sadaoki Ise to protect Defense Captain. You also
         get the mission to escort Kiyomasa Kato to mountain.
         Mitsuhide should have launched full assault by now. Go after
         the remaining enemy generals and finish stage by slaying the
         traitor Mitsuhide.

NOTE: Remember to seal strongholds. Reserve Captains give you +100 or +200
     Experience points and not +50 like they normally do.

Chapter 2: Conquest for Kyushu

Toyotomi Army vs. Shimazu Army
Victory Conditions: Defeat Yoshihisa, Yoshihiro and Toshihisa.
Defeat Conditions: Hideyoshi or Ginchiyo is defeated.

Strategy: Ride to south and seize the central garrison by defeating Tadamune
         Ijuin there. Head north and defeat Nobumitsu Saruwatari.
         Don't kill Iehisa Shimazu immediately. Wait until Tadamoto
         Niiro's ambush party appears and you get the mission to rescue
         Hidehisa Sengoku. Rescue him by killing Iehisa and Tadamoto.
         Head east and defeat Arinobu Yamada. Go to fortress in northeast, but
         don't kill Tadanaga Shimazu just yet. Once Ginchiyo has reached
         the fortress, she gets trapped and your mission is to rescue her.
         Do so by defeating Tadanaga. Now it's time to seize Tsuruga Castle,
         which is protected by Yoshihiro Shimazu. Once you have seized
         Tsuruga Castle, take the eastern road. You are ambushed by Toshihisa
         Shimazu, Tadatsune Shimazu and Hisatora Ei. Defeat all three after
         you unlock the mission to defeat Toshihisa Shimazu and head
         back to Tsuruga Castle. Ambush parties appear at west and
         north side of Tsuruga Castle and you get a mission to defeat
         them. Watch out for the volcano. When you have defeated ambush
         parties, go after Toyohisa Shimazu and prevent him from
         entering your main camp. You may think that only Yoshihisa
         Shimazu is left anymore, wrong. Enter the Shimazu main camp
         and Yoshihiro, Iehisa and Toshihisa come to help Yoshihisa.
         Defeat all four and you have conquered Kyushu for Hideyoshi!

Chapter 3: Siege of Odawara Castle (West)

Toyotomi Army vs. Hojo Army
Victory Conditions: Defeat Ujimasa.
Defeat: Conditions: Hideyoshi is defeated.

Strategy: All right, it's time to crush Hojo. First, defeat Ujitaka Hojo and
         Norisada Ueda and seize north garrison. Proceed to
         northeastern castle gate and you find another two enemy
         generals,
         defeat them as well. Don't enter to castle yet, go to
         Mt. Ishikagi and help Mitsunari to seize it. After you have
         seized the mountain Ujimitsu Hojo and Ujinori Uesugi start to
         suspect something. Don't let them near the mountain and defeat
         them quickly. Kanbei Kuroda appears with engineers at the
         same time in southwestern garrison. He's immediately attacked
         by enemy general though, so you'd better go help him ASAP.

         Now defeat the three remaining enemy generals outside
         the castle (Yasusato Matsuda, Naohide Matsuda and Ujinaga
         Narita). If you managed to save Kanbei, he builds a siege ramp
         near south garrison after he has reached to Mt. Ishikagi.
         Hope you killed Yasusato already, otherwise it's hard to
         protect siege ramp. Once the siege ramp is in place at the
         wall of Odawara Castle, Hideyoshi says that their cohort has
         been captured and you have to rescue him. He's in supply
         storage, which is guarded by Masatake Kasahara. At the same
         time Kotaro decides to open the enterance of Odawara Castle
         and two enemy generals charge out. Rescue the cohort Norihide
         Matsuda and go after the two generals. Yasuhiro Ogasawara and
         Ujimasa Hojo are the only ones left anymore. Go to north and
         defeat Yasuhiro. Finally it's time to enter into castle.

         Enter from the north first and destroy the mechanism on the
         first floor. The door which leads to second floor opens now.
         Exit the castle's main keep and enter to castle's main keep
         from west gate this time. Go up the stairs and on the 3rd
         floor you face Ujimasa. Japan has finally been united... well
         almost. The Ujimasa you just defeated wasn't real, it was just
         a "magic trick" of Kotaro and now you have to defeat him
         to open the door to 2nd floor. Real Ujimasa has appeared
         outside the castle with his son Ujinao and two generals.
         Slay Ujimasa and Ujinao and finally Japan belongs to Hideyoshi.

Chaper 4: Battle of Kusegawa

Western Army vs. Eastern Army
Victory Conditions: Defeat all enemy officers.
Defeat Conditions: Any allied officer is defeated.

Strategy: Ok, so the peace didn't last long. You can thank Ieyasu for that.
         Your first task is to defeat fleeing Eastern Army generals.
         Defeat Tanomo Noisshiki and Kazuhide Nakamura who are closest
         to you. Yoshimasa Tanaka appears in southeast corner.
         Immediately head towards him to block Eastern Army's
         escape route. Once you arrive there, Kojiro appears as well
         (in hyper mode). Try to defeat both of them as fast as
         you can. Head to west now where Kazutada Nakamura is.
         Soon Eastern Army's reinforcements appear. Naomasa Ii and
         Moritsuna Watanabe are first to attack you. If you defeat
         them quickly, you can try to prevent Tadakatsu from reaching
         your main camp. He faces you with another enemy general
         (who is generic and fortunetly not in hyper mode) so be
         prepared. Take out Hanzo who appeared in north and go rescue
         Shimazus from Ina. Finish the stage by defeating remaining
         enemy generals.

NOTE: Your allies are pretty tough in this stage so even if they face 2 or 3
     enemy generals at the same time, they can hold out for long time.

Chapter 5: Battle of Sekigahara

Western Army vs. Eastern Army
Victory Conditions: Defeat Ieyasu.
Defeat Conditions: Mitsunari is defeated.

Strategy: The strategy I used to obtain Sakon's 4th weapon (told below) works
         also when you're playing this stage normally.

Sakon's Dream: Battle of Mikatagahara
How to unlock: Complete Sakon's Story Mode.

Takeda Army vs. Oda-Tokugawa
Victory Conditions: Defeat Ieyasu
Defeat Conditions: Shingen is defeated, or Ieyasu reaches the Ecape Point.

Strategy: This is pretty tough stage, I recommend Sakon is at least on
         level 30 before playing this stage or then you try this on Easy.
         You're also going to need a fast horse (Matsukaze or Persian
         Mare if possible). But now to the stage itself...
         So you start from north. Defeat the enemy generals Ietada Matsudaira
         and Tadatsugu Sakai close to you. Soon the Oda forces in the
         northwest start retreating to southwest. Shingen tells you to go
         stop them and that's exactly what you should do. Once you have
         defeated the three Oda generals, head towards Kazumasa Ishikawa
         who should be near Shingen's garrison by now. You'll meet Tadakatsu
         there too, but I recommend you ignore him, because he's extremely
         tough to beat and Ieyasu might get away. However, you can try to
         take about 1/3 of his life now and come back for him later.

         Leave Tadakatsu and ride to southwest, you should see Hanzo.
         Go ahead and defeat him, he's not in hyper mode. At this point,
         Ieyasu should be in southwest corner and not even close to
         Hamamatsu Castle so you can easily catch up with him. Beat him and
         you have completed the stage... almost. That was just Ieyasu's
         double. Hurry back to central garrison and Ieyasu appears there
         with Moritsuna Watanabe. Wait until you get the mission to defend
         central garrison and then defeat Moritsuna. Tons of reinforcements
         appear soon, first some Tokugawa and then some Oda generals,
         how nice. Ride to west garrison, Katsuei Shibata and Nagahide
         Niwa are there. Defeat Katsuei, but ignore Nagahide. Go give a
         hand for Shingen, because he is being assaulted by Mitsuhide and
         Hideyoshi. Defeat those two quickly. If you think you have time,
         attack to Tadakatsu again and hurt him as much as you can.
         With Attack x2, you are probably even able to defeat him. In any
         case, go to east garrison (where you fought Tadakatsu) and exit
         from the south gate.

         You should soon catch up with Ieyasu. He has two generals this time
         to help him, unfortunetly. They can be annoying to defeat, but try
         to do your best. No, the stage still isn't over after you have
         defeated Ieyasu because it was another double. Get back to west
         garrison where your ally Nobukado Takeda is. Finally, the 3rd
         and real Ieyasu appears there. If Nagahide Niwa is still alive,
         defeat him and you have defeated all Oda generals. Only few enemy
         generals remain anymore. In case you haven't defeated Tadakatsu
         yet, now is the time. You can ignore others and go after Ieyasu's
         head after defeating Tadakatsu. Then, at long last, the real Ieyasu
         has been defeated and you have finished Sakon's Dream stage.

NOTE: Sealing the gates in southeast corner buys some time for you, because
     Ieyasu stops his advance when he encounters them.

8. Obtaining 4th Weapon
------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT: You must have completed Sakon's Story Mode at least once
          and play on Hard in order to obtain his 4th weapon.

Stage: Battle of Sekigahara (Sakon's 5th stage).
Requirements: Defeat all enemy officers while protecting all of your allies.
Transport units: Appears in southeast garrison where Hideaki Kobayakawa is.

Method: It's important to remember that you don't need to protect or kill the
       defecting units (Kikkawa, Mori and Kobayakawa). However, it's
       recommended that you kill them in case they defect. Start by
       defeating the two closest enemy generals, Nagamasa Kuroda and
       Sadatsugu Tsutsui. Once you have defeated them take out Eastern
       Army's cannons. With cannons captured, your allies have better
       chances against enemy. Before Magobei Fuse shows up, defeat as
       many enemy generals in center as you can (Takatora Todo,
       Yoshiaki Kato, Masanori Fukushima and Yoshimasa Tanaka).

       Tokugawa sends his 2nd wave, but you can ignore it for now. When
       Magobei Fuse appears, go after him immediately (otherwise
       Kobayakawa defects and this really lowers your morale). Now head
       to northeast garrison, where Ankokuji, Kikkawa and Mori are.
       There you have plenty of generals to defeat: Yoshinaga Asano,
       Terumasa Ikeda, Kazutoyo Yamanouchi and Hanzo Hattori who is
       heading towards you. However, before you go to help Ekei, Interim save.
       If you get too near the garrison, Mori and Kikkawa defect. Try to hit
       the enemy generals at least once, so that they start to follow you and
       lure them away from the garrison. Defeat all 4 officers and seal the
       stonghold in the north to ensure Ekei Ankokuji's safety. Try to get
       Defense x2/Attack x2 and keep using your C3 (SSS+TT) and Musou attack
       to kill enemy generals quickly. Ekei should be able to care of
       himself now, so go after Kikkawa. When you have
       defeated Kikkawa, you can defeat rest of the enemy generals in
       the center or try to prevent Ina from reaching your main camp
       (but it doesn't matter if she reaches there).

       With Ina and enemy generals in the center being defeated, head
       to Ginchiyo's location. There you should find Tadaoki Hosokawa.
       Defeat him and only Tadakatsu Honda remains. If
       Tadakatsu is surrounded by your allies, Interim Save to make
       sure that he doesn't kill any of your allies and you deal the
       final blow on him. Transport units should appear soon if you defeated
       all enemy generals personally and your all allies survived. Go
       get your weapon and finish the stage by defeating
       Ieyasu Tokugawa.

My thoughts about Wrecking Blade:
It's extremely good fourth weapon with great attributes (Atk+, Def+,
MuCha+ etc). The damage it deals is high and range is quite long as well.
Only negative side is the Wind element. Sakon, who is excellent in crowds
definitely should have Lightning or Ice instead of Wind element.
