1. Introduction
This is my first FAQ everyone, so I hope it goes well. This FAQ is
written for Da Qiao, a character in Dynasty Warriors 3. Da Qiao is a
very fast attacker, second only to Nu Wa. She has some good moves, but
her low attack power turn some people off to her. This FAQ does not
have basic game information, read the instruction book or another FAQ
for that! This is a character FAQ, not an all-purpose FAQ. You may ask:
Why Da Qiao? Well, my answer is because she's a good character that
many people don't know how to control, and she's extremely fun to play
as. It would appear that this is the first character FAQ for a female
ever published on Gamefaqs for Dynasty Warriors 3! Please read on, as
Da Qiao is a wonderful character.

3. Version History
6/25/02- I sent the FAQ in to Gamefaqs for the first time. Everything
is subject to be edited. I am currently open to suggestions.
4. Da Qiao's Historical Background Information
Da Qiao was the daughter of Qiao Xuan. Her and her sister, Xiao
Qiao, were said to be the most beautiful women in China. Da Qiao
married Sun Ce, an emperor of Wu, and the son of Sun Jian of Wu.
Unfortunately, she didn't actually fight, but she does in Dynasty
Warriors 3.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: To get Da Qiao's or anybody else's fourth weapon,
the first player MUST be the player you want to get the weapon with,
and it MUST be played on HARD difficulty. If I get an email about this
because you can't get the fourth weapon and it's because it's not on
hard and/or you aren't playing as the first player, I will be VERY
annoyed.
Attacks
Key: S=Square attack (Press square)
T=Triangle attack (Press triangle)
Dash attack: She runs straight with her fans in front of her. Good for
cutting through a crowd.
Jump Attack: She holds her fans out and almost flies through the air. A
good move on single officers, and good for knocking people off horses.
It's good, but it's not the best.
Mounted attacks:
S-She throws her fans to one side. Very ineffective and annoying.
T-She throws both of her fans in front of her, about a 180-degree
angle. Very effective and fun.
Regular attacks:
T-Da Qiao hits the enemy with her fans. Use to break an enemy's guard,
this knocks them back no matter what, unless maybe it's Lu Bu, whom I
Oh-So-Hate.
ST-Da Qiao throws her fans up in front of her, and takes an enemy with
her. Not as effective as her SSSST. You cannot rotate on this attack no
matter how good you are.
SST-Da Qiao throws her fans in front of her, this attack reminds me of
her mounted T. This attack makes the opponent dizzy.
SSST-Da Qiao rushes forward, this looks like her jump attack, but it's
better. It's very good for cutting through a crowd, or repeatedly
knocking back a single officer.
SSSST-Da Qiao throws both fans up in the air, and an enemy or two with
it. You can turn around on this if you're very good. This is better
than her ST. Press T after you launch them to hit them back to the
ground. This is what you use for the infinite combo.
SSSSST-Da Qiao floats in the air and throws her fans out in front of
her, for many hits. If you're good, you can rotate her while she does
this attack. It's good for single officers or clearing a crowd.
SSSSSS-Da Qiao throws her fans to the side, runs, and does a jumping
spinning back flip and clears out everyone in 6x6 vicinity. Very
effective for crowd clearing, one of my favorite moves in the game.
Musou attack: Da Qiao spins her fans in front of her, then at the end,
swings them around in a 360-degree circle. You can rotate on the first
part, there is obviously no need to do so on the last part. Very good
for combos, and the end is excellent for crowd clearing.
6. Walkthrough
1. The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Han forces.
This stage is pretty easy; it's the first stage in the game. You
are a sub-officer under Sun Jian. Take out Zhang Liang after he
freezes the river. It helps him, but it also makes your life
easier. You start near him. After that, just play it by ear. There
aren't too many weapons or items in this stage, and the ones that
are there are +1's and +2's, even on hard. The generals don't drop
significant attack and defense power-ups, but you can get them if
you want. My suggestion would be to ignore Zhang Bao; he's more
trouble than he's worth. You must kill Zhang Jiao 3 times to finish
the stage.
2. The Battle at Hu Lao Gate, Allied forces.
This stage is again pretty easy, provided you ignore Lu Bu. You are
again a sub officer under Sun Jian. Go around and defeat all of the
officers and sub-officers except for Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo's
sub-officers. At that point, all available forces should march to Hu
Lao gate. Go with them, and wait for Hu Lao gate to fall. Then go in
and defeat Dong Zhuo, and his sub-officers if you like. Once Dong Zhuo
is dead, the stage is over.
3. Surprise attack on Liu Biao, Sun Jian's forces.
This stage is short, and relatively easy. You are an officer
under your husband Sun Ce I believe. There are quite a few weapons and
items here, go after them if you please. At on point, sun Jian will get
killed by Liu Biao, because Liu Biao sets a trap, and Sun Jian falls
for it. At this point, Sun Ce should take over as commander. Go and
kill Liu Biao when you're ready to end the stage.
4. Assault on the Wu Territory, Sun Ce's forces.
Pretty straightforward stage, kill Liu Yong to get Taishi Ci to
defect to your side. Do not kill Taishi Ci, as his many forces will be
of use to you. The other two remaining enemy generals should then be
easily taken out.
5. The Battle at Chi Bi, Allied Forces.
This stage can be difficult if you don't know what you're doing.
Do not advance too far. Wait for the winds to come, and the fire attack
to happen. Then, gradually advance and kill all of the enemy officers.
You should get reinforcements from Shu, but the enemy will also get
reinforcements. Progress slowly through this stage, rush, and be
killed. There are tons of enemies at this stage. Tons.
6. The Battle at Yi Ling, Wu Forces.
This stage is much easier for Wu than Shu. Once Lu Xun orders a
fire attack, protect Zhu Ran until the Shu camp is in flames. He does
not have far to go. That will crush the enemy's morale. Unless you are
an expert, avoid the Stone Warrior formation to the south. There are
lovely stat increase items there, but many crossbowmen. Also once you
enter Zhuge Liang will come to reinforce Shu, and you will not have
your handy little map inside the Stone Warrior Formation. However, if
you press start you can see where you are on the map. Wait for the fire
attack, and then crush Shu.
7. The Siege of He Fei Castle, Wu forces.
This is a tough stage, with many stat increase items, weapons,
items, and special items. I recommend taking out Xu Zhu first, he's on
the northeast side of the castle. Then, go to the Northwest section. I
strongly recommend a horse for this part. If you have a horse, plow
through the wall of arrows. At the wind corridor, carefully maneuver.
There is a weapon in the middle. After that, I recommend taking out the
two generals by the main south gate. That will open the gate and allow
your allies through. At one point you will get reinforcements, so will
your enemy. When the enemy is reinforced, all gates open. Protect Sun
Quan/Jian/Ce on his ship, Wei's reinforcements appear by him, and if he
dies, you lose. Take out Sima Yi/Cao Cao when you're ready, he's up
some steps, and he personally is not heavily defended, but most likely
the only help you'll have when fighting him is your bodyguards. Kill
him to end the stage and your musou mode.
7. Strategies
Da Qiao's strengths lie in her ssst, jump attack,
ssssstttt(etc.), ssssss, and musou.
Use her ssst and jump for two different purposes. One is to cut
through a crowd. When you use this attack, you clear a nice, empty,
path for yourself through the enemy. Also it can be used to repeatedly
knock back a single officer away from reinforcements, and challenge
them to a one-on-one duel.
Use her sssssttt(etc,) for again, two purposes. One is to hit a
single officer repeatedly. That's quite easy. Just float there, tap
triangle, and rack up the hits. If you're good, you can rotate this
attack making it one of the best crowd clearing moves in the game. It's
VERY hard to do, however, so don't get discouraged. The only way to get
hit while doing this attack is by an arrow, musou, or musou arrow. All
other attacks bounce off of you.
Use her ssssss as what it is, one of the best crowd clearing moves
in the game.
Use her musou for all purposes, first as a single-officer thing,
then blast away the crowd with the end. Hold the O button if you're
near an enemy general, press O once if you are surrounded by a crowd.
Any other strategies are welcome!
