If this system is too confusing, simply enter the weapon's name into the find box. The former system is used for people who do not know the name of the weapon they seek. ==== 1. Introduction This is a collection of data from Koei's new action game Sengoku Musou and its expansion, Moushouden. Some data is simply statistics and information, found in the "Vault" section of the game itself. Other data is strategy for obtaining the Ultimate and Final weapons (5th and 6th) or Precious Items (one-of-a-kind). This FAQ is bi-lingual to a degree. Names are in both English and Japanese. Your browser must support JIS characters in order to correctly display this FAQ. ==== WARNING: Ultimate (5th) Weapons are acquired on Hard difficulty, unless the bonus to lower the difficulty is purchased (20,000 BP) Final (6th) Weapons are acquired on Hell difficulty, unless the bonus to lower the difficulty is purchased (100,000 BP) Both Ultimate and Final Weapons REQUIRE that at least one ending to Musou mode is completed. Final Weapons REQUIRE that you play on Musou mode (can NOT be acquired in Free mode under any circumstances) Lucky character attribute DOES NOT (read: DOES NOT) apply to the North American release of Sengoku Musou. IT ONLY affects the stats on REGULAR items and weapons. Precious Items can be achieved with any character on either Free mode or Story mode on any difficulty, but must be on the exact level specified. ==== 2. Weapons ---------------------------- a.

After clearing the fifth mission, achieve a KO count of 1000. 7. Supply unit appears at the southwestern entry point and heads northeast toward the right-middle entry point. Tip: The easiest way (I've found) to acquire the weapon is to complete the stage normally until Hideyori retreats into Osaka Castle and Ohno Harunaga takes over, then use the westernmost entry point to acquire kills (it's the most active entry point). Note: Once you enter the northern Tokugawa fortress, you will be sealed in and will be forced to kill around 100 enemy troops. Try to time the KO count to hit 1000 as you escape the fortress. ( 2-a6 ) Final Weapon Rakan - 煉鎗赫羅漢 Attacks: 8 Base Attack Power: 57 Innate Element: Fire Supplemental Stats: Life+50 Attack+65 Mounted Attack+67 Musou Charge+65 A crimson spear made by the fires of the gods.

Maeda Keiji - 前田慶次 ( 2-b1 ) 1st Weapon Double Pike - 二又矛 Attacks: 4 Base Attack Power: 17 A pike with a dual blade. ( 2-b2 ) 2nd Weapon Koto Pike - 琴柱矛 Attacks: 6 Base Attack Power: 27 Called such for its resemblance to the musical instrument.

( 2-b3 ) 3rd Weapon Crimson Pike - 皆朱矛 Attacks: 8 Base Attack Power: 34 The spear used by Keiji when he drove away the Mogami forces. ( 2-b4 ) 4th Weapon Kagura - 戦神楽 Attacks: 8 Base Attack Power: 45 Named after a divine dance for its elegance and grace in battle. Note: Kagura is a dance once used to please the gods. Its literal translation is "music of the gods". ( 2-b5 ) Ultimate Weapon Izanagi - 天之瓊鉾 Attacks: 8 Base Attack Power: 50 Innate Element: Lightning Supplemental Stats: Life+50 Attack+46 Mounted Attack+44 Musou Charge+25 The pike said to belong to Izanagi, one of the gods of creation.

According to legend, Izanagi dipped his pike into the sea and the water on the tip dropped back into the sea and formed the Japanese archipelago. --- Acquisition: Stage: Test at Kawanakajima - 川中島腕試し 1. Defeat all sub-generals and their respective generals. 2. Supply unit appears from southeastern entry point, heads north to northeastern entry point. Note: All kills must be by Keiji.

( 2-b6 ) Final Weapon Ni-Oh Pike - 剛鋒仁王尊 Attacks: 8 Base Attack Power: 60 Innate Element: Lightning Supplemental Stats: Life+50 Musou+30 Attack+75 Defense+56 Named after the god Ni-Oh. Note: Ni-Oh (Niou) is/are the name of the pairs of guardian statues typically found at the gates to Buddhist shrines and temples. This may be symbolic of Keiji for his exploits as the rear-guard of the Uesugi army after they failed to invade Aizu. --- Acquisition: Stage: Dance in the Capital - 京洛の舞 1. Achieve a KO count of 2000. 2. Supply unit appears at the west-central entry point and heads for the northwestern entry point. Tip: Stay near the entrance to Honnouji (the inner compound) and the troops will flood to you.

Masamune's sword repelled the leaves, for it posessed spiritual discernment.

Note: Orochi was a massive eight-headed serpent that ravaged Japan in mythology. Supposedly, Susano-wa found a blade within one of the serpent's tails and killed the serpent. Unfortunately, the sword was not called "Orochi", but Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (the grass-cutting sword). --- Acquisition: Stage: Battle of Okehazama - 桶狭間の戦い 1.

( 2-d6 ) Final Weapon Rasetsu - 羅刹刃金狼 Attacks: 8 Base Attack Power: 57 Innate Element: Lightning Supplemental Stats: Life+45 Defense+69 Speed+47 Attack Range+73 Sacred sword said to be made from the legendary fangs of the mythical Golden Wolf.

To do this, stand close to Ranmaru without attacking him for about a minute. 8. Ranmaru defects. 9. 20 minutes into the stage, the fog clears and the Akechi army prepares to advance on Nobunaga from the south. 10. Clear the mission: Defeat all enemy ambushes in the northern cave. 11. Supply unit appears in the southeast and heads for the Oda camp. Note: This (apparently) cannot be done with two players. If it can, the second player must have very little involvement in the success of the missions. Note: For the final mission, move clockwise around the northern caves, eliminating the five sets of ambush parties. The ambush party marked by the "X" should be defeated *last*. To defeat an ambush party, defeat all the Spy Leaders and the specialist ninja units (ie. Strike, Sky, Wind). Note: This weapon is extremely tempermental, and I have devised this strategy after four successful runs attempting to acquire it. ---------------------------- e.

Once the Azai reinforcements appear, he should be in no real danger. Once Nobunaga nears the escape point, Ranmaru should head there himself. Note: The south-central entry point cannot be sealed, therefore, you should stand in front of it and halt the incoming troops to help Nobunaga and Co. ---------------------------- h.

Note: All allied generals must survive until the supply unit message. This is not as easy as it looks. The Toyotomi generals are a bunch of wet blankets. My suggestion is to use a second player, and equip them with a second Morale Drum. Additionally, if your Kunoichi isn't tough enough to do this level alone, the second player can do the 1st and 2nd missions. ---------------------------- j.

Clear the mission: Defeat Asakura Yoshikage 7. Supply unit appears from the east-central entry point. Note: All allied generals must survive until the supply unit message. (Not to worry, this is a piece of cake. In this battle, even on Hell mode, the Azai-Asakura are a bunch of weaklings, to me, at least...) ---------------------------- n. Hattori Hanzou - 服部半蔵 ( 2-n1 ) 1st Weapon Kusarigama - 鎖鎌 Attacks: 4 Base Attack Power: 13 A sickle with a chain attachment.

Clear the second mission: Maintain the Crane formation. 3. Clear the third mission: Seal all enemy entry points. 4. Supply unit appears in the southeast and heads west. Tip: As Muni put it, "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link". The Crane formation can be a nightmare to maintain, but it is quite possible. The general idea is to defeat 3 of the 4 Takeda Cavalry generals. Naitou Masatoyo, Yamagata Masakage, and Baba Nobufusa. However, this alone will not save the formation. Takeda Katsuyori must also be defeated. Finally, the most important to defeat is Takeda Shingen's sub-general Anayama Nobukimi. The "weakest link" would be a Takeda sub-general named Hirate Hirohide, who could be routed by a sudden breeze. Protecting him will make things much, much easier. To re-iterate: Defeat Naitou Masatoyo --> Yamagata Masakage --> Baba Nobufusa, Defeat Anayama Nobukumi --> Takeda Katsuyori, Protect Hirate Hirohide ( 2-m6 ) Final Weapon Marishiten - 冥穿摩利支天 Attacks: 8 Base Attack Power: 56 Innate Element: Darkness Supplemental Stats: Attack+74 Ranged Attack+68 Speed+48 Attack Range+68 A kusarigama said to contain the powers of the god Marishiten.

Clear the mission: Defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu 6. All the while, defeat all enemy generals and sub-generals. 7. Supply unit appears from the southern entry point and heads east. WARNING: If you go too far onto the central bridge, the mission to defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu will appear prematurely, and the weapon will be lost. Note: If you're having trouble finding Magoichi during the third mission, he is to the southwest of Nobunaga's position (in your main camp). Note: Defeating Akechi Mitsuhide and Hattori Hanzou may be requirements, I haven't verified yet. ---------------------------- p.

Clear the mission: Defeat enemy troops advancing on main camp 3. All the while, do not allow a SINGLE enemy troop to enter the western gate of Komakiyama. 4.
