Final Words 9. Contact Information 10. Legal Stuff 1. Introduction ======================= Warriors Orochi is KOEI's first game which combines the two popular series, Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors. And when these two are combined the results are 79 playable characters, 60 stages and many, many different dialogs and conversations. The purpose of this guide is to cover all those dialogs and conversations (excluding cutscene conversations and character quotes), from peasant's "Save me!" to Orochi's "But they are so frail...". It's hard, but not impossible. In case you wonder why I started a project like this, it was simply because I was bored. After unlocking all characters and 4th weapons in WO, I wanted to spice things up while leveling up my characters. Right now, I have most of the regular conversations gathered from all 60 stages. I'm still missing many character dialogs and I'm working on those now. Thanks to the help I've received (and I still do), I hope I'm able to include all character dialogs in this guide some day. Okay, I think that's all. But before you move to the character sections, make sure you read "Legend" section first. Enjoy. Also, I've sorted characters according to their new affiliation in WO. "Difficulty faces you, but you must read on and make your way to the last section. The typos in the FAQ are formidable. Only a fool would jump into their midst. If you wish to survive, you must find a way to the last line." --------------------------- 1a. Version History --------------------------- 01/06/08 - Version 0.95 - The first version of this FAQ is finally done. And it only took 4 months from me... However, I still haven't written down all dialogs I've found so far. I'll try to add all of them in the coming updates. 01/12/08 - Version 0.96 - Big update.

And I already thought it was all over... guess I was wrong. --------------------------- 1b. Legend --------------------------- - Use Ctrl + f to find character sections quickly and easily. You can find the codes next to the character names. Remember to type codes with capitals. - [E] stands for Enemy and [YA] for Yellow Ally. However, there are few things you should know about them: * <<>> [E]/[YA] = Character says all of his/her lines as enemy/yellow ally. * At the beginning (E)/(YA) = All characters who speak are enemies/yellow allies (mainly used in NPC section). * Niu Jin (E)/(YA) = Character who speaks is enemy/yellow ally (mainly used in NPC section) - In case you don't understand all of my conversation unlocking methods, I'll explain the most common ones: * At the beginning = The conversation happens automatically and (almost) immediately when the stage begins. * Approach Character B (enemy/yellow ally) = Simply approach the character in order to hear the dialog. Sometimes you need to switch between characters to hear more dialogs. * Approach Character B as Character A (player) = You need to approach Character B as the right character. If your team includes two characters who have a dialog with Character B, you can only hear one of the dialogs. * Sometimes characters may speak more than once under the same condition. These are indicated with an empty space between the conversations, like this: At the beginning: Major: "Lord Sun Ce is under heavy attack on the northern by-path!" Zhao Yun: "We must help him!" Zhao Yun: "Divide into two units. The first will rescue Sun Ce. The second must attract enemy's attention." 2. Shu Characters [SHUC] ================================= --------------------------- 2a. Zhao Yun [ZHA] --------------------------- <<>> At the beginning: Zhao Yun: "That man, he appears to posses great mystical powers... perhaps he is the famous Zuo Ci?" Approach Mamushi: Mamushi: "You! Are you planning to escape with that woman?" Zhao Yun: "That woman?" Ginchiyo: "I am not just a woman, I am a Tachibana!" Approach Ginchiyo Tachibana: Zhao Yun: "I take my eye off for you a second, and you're already my match in battle!" Ginchiyo: "I thought you might hold us back, but I was wrong to worry." Xing Cai: "And it seems you are more than just a big mouth too..." Ginchiyo: "Do not push your luck, woman." Xing Cai: "Not just a woman... I am Xing Cai." Approach Zhang He: Zhang He: "The quest for life is a beautiful thing... but death is even more so, at my hands." Zhao Yun: "Naturally. Everything is to you, isn't it... but I care not for that. Beautiful or not, I will dispatch you!" If Zhao Yun is in danger: Zhao Yun: "Our lord, he lives?! I cannot perish before seeing his face one more time! I shall cut a swathe of carnage through any army that faces me!" If Zhao Yun is defeated: Zhao Yun: "My lord, I have failed you..." Reach the escape point: Zhao Yun: "Safety at last! We must dive into danger and rescue my lord!" <<>> At the beginning: Zhao Yun: "Hold on, Yue Ying! We'll have you out of there soon!" Approach Magoichi Saika when he reuqest aid from the Coalition Army: Magoichi: "Thanks. If you're after the woman, they took her north." Zhao Yun: "You mean my lady? Thank you!" Magoichi: "Hey, I'm coming too. I can't let another guy get all the credit for saving a beautiful lady. We'll do it together. Come on, you're gonna need all the help you can get!" After Magoichi Saika has promised to help the Coalition Army: Magoichi: "The name's Magoichi. You must be Zhao Yun." Zhao Yun: "That's right. You also are part of the Resistance movement?" Magoichi: "I guess heroism just runs in my blood, y'know... That, and that girl was hot!" Rescue Yue Ying: Yue Ying: "A million thanks. I am in your debt." Zhao Yun: "We're not out of the woods yet, my lady. Follow me, and I shall lead you to safety." Approach Mitsunari Ishida: Mitsunari: "Give it up. Don't disgrace yourself with a futile resistance." Zhao Yun: "While hope remains for my lord, I will never surrender!" Once Da Ji arrives: Zhao Yun: "That woman, is she one of the enemy too?" Yue Ying: "That is Da Ji. She is Orochi's strategist." Magoichi: "So she's a nasty piece of work, huh? But she sure is one foxy lady!" Once ambush party appears: Zhao Yun: "An ambush! We've been outfoxed!" Yue Ying: "A perfectly timed ambush... Ruthlessly efficient waves of attack... This is all too familiar for my liking..." Approach Pang De: Zhao Yun: "Do as you must, but I will never lose to the lackey of a snake!" Approach Zhuge Liang: Zhao Yun: "I respected you... Wherefore must I fight you now?" Zhuge Liang: "You never change, do you? Reach the escape point with Yue Ying: Zhao Yun: "We've lost them... But why would Zhuge Liang have allied himself with such evil...?" Yue Ying: "He said the moment was not yet at hand... I know he must have a plan. He must! <<>> Once Zhao Yun lures out the enemy officers: Zhao Yun: "Then I shall act out as the bait..." Lure both enemy units to center: Zhao Yun: "They've bitten! Now is our chance!" Yoshihiro: "Ha! They're on the hook! Beat 'em to pieces!" Jiang Wei: "The enemy are in no-man's land! We must strike!" If Orochi Army reinforcements appear in the northeast: Zhao Yun: "The guards from the Ueda have arrived too. Bad timing." <<>> At the beginning: Zhao Yun: "The castle is completely surrounded. Is it Orochi's army?" Magoichi: "No, it doesn't look like those snake dudes... Either way, we'd better get moving! If we take this shortcut, we'll be there in no time!" Messenger: "Hey, look, phantoms everywhere!" Zhao Yun: "Phantoms...? Who're they talking about? Not us?" Magoichi: "Come on, look at me! I'm a red-blooded male. No one's gonna mistake me for a ghost." Zhao Yun: "Yes, yes, I'm sure you're right. But for now, if we don't stop those imposter messengers, it could be chaos." Approach the messenger units: Zhao Yun: "Those pesky messengers must be working for Orochi." Magoichi: "A cunning plan, huh? ...So, those guys laying siege to the castle, they..." Zhao Yun: "They probably think they're fightning evil phantom versions of us." Magoichi: "I know not everyone has my brains, but come on, they've gotta be pretty stupid for falling to that!" Approach Wei Yan: Wei Yan: "Liu Bei... not... here... I... fight... Find... Liu Bei..." Zhao Yun: "My lord... He is not here! How is that possible? I will not give up! I believe, no, I know, that he is still alive!" Approach Yukimura Sanada: Yukimura: "Such skill... I cannot believe a mindless specter could ever match me with a spear..." Zhao Yun: "Trust what your spear is telling you! I am no specter! But maybe you need more convincing!" Once Coalition Army launches counter-attack: Zhao Yun: "Fight back! Give all your strength!" Approach Da Ji: Zhao Yun: "I should have known you would be behind this!" Da Ji: "No one told you were coming!" Clear the stage: Magoichi: "Liu Bei is not even here...? You mean I did all that for nothing?!" Zhao Yun: "My lord... I wonder where he can be..." If Wei Yan is defeated: Zhao Yun: "Cheng Du has fallen! Now we may never know where my lord is..." <<>> At the beginning: Zhao Yun: "Orochi's evil tentacles stretch even this far..." After you've talked with Meng Huo: Magoichi: "That big oaf should learn some manners. I'd stay and teach him a lesson... But I'm out of time, y'know how it is..." Zhao Yun: "But I cannot turn my back on innocents in need. These are the teachings of Shu... the teachings of my lord! We must split up and help!" <<>> Approach Kotaro Fuma: Zhao Yun: "Out of my way, I am in a hurry!" Kotaro: "Come... Indulge me for a moment." Zhao Yun: "Ah! it's another one of those snake-men!" Approach Okuni: Zhao Yun: "Are you chasing after that thief too?" Okuni: "Goemon is no thief... He's the greatest burglar of our age." Zhao Yun: "You make that sound like something to be proud of." <<>> At the beginning: Zhao Yun: "There is no time to lose!" Discover one enemy ambush party: Zhao Yun: "Strange... This was so obvious, not at all like Zhuge Liang... Almost as if he wanted us to see through it..." If Zhao Yun is the first person who enters the south garrison: Zhao Yun: "My lord is imprisonated beyond this very door. Finally... Finally I can rescue him!" Approach Zhuge Liang: Zhao Yun: "I cannot understand you... What is it that you want?" Zhuge Liang: "You do not understand because you let your heart rule your head. Your spear is ready to fight your true enemy." Approach Sun Quan: Sun Quan: "So, you are prepared to discard your life to save Liu Bei... Be warned. For the future of Wu, I am prepared to take your life." Zhao Yun: "You talk of the future of Wu, and yet you are a slave to Orochi!" Clear the stage: Zhao Yun: "He was not here either... Do not despair, my lord! Hold out, and I promise I will come!" <<>> Approach Masamune Date: Zhao Yun: "I see greatness in you. You shall be a worthy challenge!" Masamune: "You flatter me... But flattery only gets you killed!" <<>> At the beginning: Major: "Lord Sun Ce is under heavy attack on the northern by-path!" Zhao Yun: "We must help him!" Zhao Yun: "Divide into two units. The first will rescue Sun Ce. The second must attract enemy's attention." Once Wang Ping distracts the enemy forces: Zhao Yun: "Excellent! Keep them focused on you!" Rescue Sun Ce: Zhao Yun: "Sun Ce! My spear is at your service!" Sun Ce: "Never have I been happier to see a warrior of Shu!" Approach Cao Ren once he rallies himself: Cao Ren: "I am a rock! It will take more than you have to break through me!" Zhao Yun: "There are no defenses which my spear cannot penetrate!" After you have defeated enemy officers around Sun Ce: Zhao Yun: "We share a common enemy. We must overcome our differences, and unite against Sima Yi." Sun Ce: "My thoughts exactly! I'd team up with the devil himself if it meant I could see a panic in that smarmy face!" Zhao Yun: "Zhou Yu, you are renowed throughout the land as a brilliant tactician. I would like to ask you to lead our forces in this battle." Zhou Yu: "Understood. Watch, and you may learn something." Approach Kotaro Fuma: Kotaro: "Return to dust." Zhao Yun: "You're one of those snake-men, aren't you!?" Approach Sima Yi: Sima Yi: "Angering me will lead you nowhere but to the gates of hell!" Zhao Yun: "Then I will see you there!" <<>> Approach Musashi Miyamoto: Zhao Yun: "You're not bad with those swords, I must say." Musashi: "Not bad?! I'm the best, man!" <<>> At the beginning: Zhao Yun: "The castle keep looks the most likely location. Hold on, my lord, help is at hand!" Approach Zhou Cang: Zhao Yun: "Zhou Cang! What are you doing here?" Zhou Cang: "I cannot give my reasons. Withdraw, please." Zhao Yun: "I can never relent until my lord is safe, you know that!" Zhou Cang: "I do. But you should know that I cannot relent either." Once Sun Ce arrives: Sun Ce: "All right, here I am. Never let it be said that I go back on promise!" Zhao Yun: "Thank you for your aid, Sun Ce!" Approach Mi Zhu: Zhao Yun: "Why is this castle filled with the people of Shu? It makes no sense..." Mi Zhu: "I'm sorry, my lord. You must not pass here..." Zhao Yun: "I will use force if you persist." Approach Sun Ce: Zhao Yun: "It is good to see you here!" Sun Ce: "So this makes us even, right?" Approach Zhang Fei: Zhao Yun: "Zhang Fei! I am here to rescue our lord!" Zhang Fei: "...But I can't let anyone from the Resistance through!" Zhao Yun: "You and I shouldn't be at odds like this, if there is a reason, please tell me..." Zhang Fei: "Shut up! You don't know anything, you don't need to know anything!" Defeat Zhang Fei: Zhao Yun: "Forgive me, but my lord comes first." Approach the main keep's gate with Sun Ce after defeating Zhang Fei: Sun Ce: "I'll secure our exit! You go on and get Liu Bei!" Zhao Yun: "Understood!" Approach Guan Yu: Zhao Yun: "Guan Yu! I thought you and I were friends! Break free of your life of slavery, and help me rescue our lord!" Guan Yu: "I cannot... Not yet..." Defeat Guan Yu: Zhao Yun: "I hope you can forgive me. I promise, I will rescue our lord with these hands!" Once allied officers are ambushed on the top floor of the main keep: Zhao Yun: "No! A trap!" After the Edo Castle is set in fire: Zhao Yun: "We have to find a way out! Fast!" After you have escaped from the Edo Castle's main keep: Sun Ce: "So Liu Bei wasn't here after all. What do we do now?" Zhao Yun: "All we can do is to capture Da Ji, and force her to tell us where he is." Sun Ce: "Let's find that lying fox and show her just what does it means to have us as enemies!" Approach Zhuge Liang: Zhuge Liang: "I knew you would make it this far." Zhao Yun: "If you have some reason, then please, tell me!" Zhuge Liang: "I can say nothing. Be silent, and let your spear do the talking." Approach Da Ji: Zhao Yun: "Tell me now! Where is my Lord Liu Bei?" Da Ji: "Who? I have no idea who you're talking about... Heh, you should see the looks on your faces..." If Zhao Yun is defeated: Zhao Yun: "My lord, please forgive my failure..." <<>> Once Tadakatsu Honda appears: Zhao Yun: "Who is that man? Never have I laid an eyes on such formidable warrior!" <<>> Approach Keiji Maeda: Zhao Yun: "Why would a man of your stature side with such evil?" Keiji: "Why do guys like you always divide things into "good" and "evil"? Wisen up already! Life's just not that simple, kid!" Approach Lu Bu: Lu Bu: "You wish to fight the mighty Orochi?! Don't make me laugh!" Zhao Yun: "This spear will not break easily, I assure you!" Approach Da Ji: Da Ji: "You're strong, how come you don't want to start your own clan?" Zhao Yun: "I am no leader. It is only my lord who is fit to lead this land." Da Ji: "I guess it's moot, as you'll be dead shortly." Approach Orochi: Orochi: "You shall have your precious lord. If you can defeat me!" Zhao Yun: "Finally, this day is upon us. My lord, your freedom awaits you!" If Zhao Yun is defeated: Zhao Yun: "I can go no further. My apologies. I leave the rest to you." <<>> [E] At the beginning: Zhao Yun: "Success! Now we can claim the enemy camp!" <<>> Approach Okuni as Zhao Yun: Okuni: "This battlefield is full of handsome men... Let's see if this one can fight!" Zhao Yun: "I-I... You think I'm handsome...?" Okuni: "Oh, don't look at me with those puppy dog eyes.... I'll lose the will to hurt you." --------------------------- 2b. Xing Cai [XIN] --------------------------- <<>> Approach the escape point: Xing Cai: "We should be able to get out over there. That's it! We're gonna make it!" <<>> Approach Magoichi Saika without having Hideyoshi Toyotomi in your team after he has promised to help Coalition Army: Magoichi: "Hello there, pretty lady. What's your name?" Xing Cai: "All you need to know, is that I'm way out of your league!" Magoichi: "Yoww... Are all the women of Shu like this?" Approach Mitsunari Ishida: Mitsunari: "Give it up. Don't disgrace yourself with a futile resistance." Xing Cai: "The only disgrace here is you." Mitsunari: "Oh, a smart mouth, eh? I'll soon fix that." Approach Pang De: Xing Cai: "Da Ji's obedient guard dog... Truly pathetic." Approach Zhuge Liang: Xing Cai: "I cannot fanthom it... Why would you side with Orochi?" Zhuge Liang: "You must travel on your path, and I on mine." <<>> Approach Yukimura Sanada before he meets Zhao Yun: Yukimura Sanada: "Poor soul, trapped in purgatory... I will return you to the underworld where you belong." Xing Cai: "What on earth are you talking about?! I'm not trapped anywhere - I'm as real as you are!" Approach Da Ji: Xing Cai: "You have strength... But there is something else, something vital, missing from you." Da Ji: "You just wish you had what I have!" <<>> Discover the first strange wooden box: Xing Cai: "How did that box get out here?" Approach Kotaro Fuma: Kotaro: "Come, pretty one..." Xing Cai: "...I've always been scared of clowns..." Approach Musashi Miyamoto without having Wei Yan in your team: Musashi: "Leave the guy alone, or face my swords!" Xing Cai: "You're all sweat and bluster. Out of my way!" Musashi: "Bluster, maybe, but I ain't sweating a drop yet!" Approach Goemon Ishikawa: Goemon: "You won't catch me so easily! I'm the greatest thief of all time!" Xing Cai: "There's no lower form of life than a thief!" Goemon: "Aw, leave me alone, girlie! This is no concern of yours!" <<>> At the beginning: Xing Cai: "Their defenses are too tight. We will never make it through!" Once the western allied unit halts its advance: Xing Cai: "Halt! Let's wait and see what happens for a bit." Once the western allied units resumes its advance: Xing Cai: "The enemy are on the move. Resume the march!" Once the western allied units accelerates its advance: Xing Cai: "All we want is their commander! Hurry!" Once the flank units advance upon Masamune Date: Xing Cai: "This all thanks to your brilliant plan! Thank you!" Approach Masamune Date as Xing Cai before Magoichi Saika talks to him: Masamune: "Out of my way! This is no place for little girls!"

In the garrison! He has to be up to something!" Zhuge Liang: "Take him down at once!" Defeat the Sorcerer: Major: "The strange soldiers, they - they all disappeared..." Zhuge Liang: "This should put the soldiers mind at ease..." Once Da Ji orders Keiji Maeda or Lu Bu to advance: Zhuge Liang: "Unpreprared, they will be far from the threat they could have been. We must isolate them, and wipe them out." Approach Keiji Maeda: Keiji: "Well, if it isn't the Mr. Smarty-pants! Try wrapping your brain around this! Zhuge Liang: "Perhaps you were never taught that strength is not the only way to win a war." Once the cannons start shooting: Major: "Their weapons are too powerful. We cannot make any progress!" Zhuge Liang: "We must cut this chaos off at its roots. Seize the cannons!" Take out the cannons: Major: "The enemy's weapons have fallen silent!" Zhuge Liang: "Good. Resume the march." Foil all Da Ji's plans: Zhuge Liang: "It seems we may have overastimated you, Da Ji. You're all out of plans. Why don't you just surrender, and this all will be over, hmm?" Da Ji: "Was that a challenge? I suppose I am all out of ideas. Maybe I should just pluck your feathers..." Defeat Da Ji: Zhuge Liang: "Orochi - your all pawns have been captured. You're on your own. So why not cut your losses, and give us back Liu Bei?" Orochi: "Very well. You may enter my fortress." Zhuge Liang: "My lord... I am on my way." Approach Orochi: Orochi: "You shall have your precious lord. If you can defeat me." Zhuge Liang: "Only one step remains before my plan is complete. Getting rid of you." If Zhuge Liang is defeated: Zhuge Liang: "My lord... It seems my day ends here... I can only pray to the heavens for your safety." <<>> [YA] Once Zhuge Liang arrives: Zhuge Liang: "Forgive my tardiness. You may rely on me from now on." If Zhuge Liang arrives after you have lost all Bases: Zhuge Liang: "I apologize my tardiness, my lady. How is the battle progressing?" Da Ji: "What took you so long?! Hurry up and get rid of that impudent man!" Let Zhuge Liang approach Mitsunari Ishida: Mitsunari: "You sure took your time." Zhuge Liang: "I was curious to see how you would fight." Mitsunari: "Voyeruism's is a bad habbit, you know." <<>> Head to the summit of Mt. Tenno: Zhuge Liang: "As I thought, Mt. Tenno is their target. We must make sure we have a welcome party there to greet them when they arrive." Defeat Zhuge Liang: Zhuge Liang: "So the mountain has been lost..." <<>> Approach Sima Yi: Sima Yi: "Risking your life for a single, stupid girl... How foolish." Zhuge Liang: "As opposed to yourself, risking your life for the lecherous dreams of an overweight agotist." <<>> Approach Lu Xun after his fire attack: Zhuge Liang: "Lu Xun, that fire attack was perfectly executed." Lu Xun: "I am honored to receive the praise of the greatest strategist of the Three Kingdoms." <<>> [E] If your allies enter the central garrison before you do: Zhuge Liang: "The bait has been taken. Seize them." Sima Yi: "I suppose you deserve my congratulations for pulling that off..." Zhuge Liang: "None of this would have been possible without your decoys laying the groundwork." If you enter the central garrison before your allies do: Zhuge Liang: "Our haul appears to be on small side, but succes is succes, nonetheless. Seize them." Zhuge Liang: "You sacrificed yourself, to keep the losses from the ploy to a minimum..." Sima Yi: "Heh, it appears the enemy has seen right through you plot." Zhuge Liang: "Unfortunetly, that would appear to be the case, yes." Once Zhuge Liang orders Orochi Army to advance: Zhuge Liang: "Do not rest on your laurels. You must move now." If Hideyoshi Toyotomi arrives as allied reinforcements: Zhuge Liang: "This Nobunaga... His visions exceeds all my expectations." --------------------------- 2t. Liu Bei [LIU] --------------------------- <<>> Approach Sun Shang Xiang as Liu Bei before Magoichi Saika talks to her: Liu Bei: "Shang Xiang! Why must I face you?!" Sun Shang Xiang: "You and I seem to be destined to walk different paths..." <<>> Once Tadakatsu appears: Liu Bei: "This warrior would not be out of place amongst my brothers!" <<>> Once Sun Shang Xiang appears: Sun Shang Xiang: "I really don't want to have to do this... But when I think of my father and my friends... I have no choice! Liu Bei: "I never expected to see her in a place like this..." Approach Sun Shang Xiang: Liu Bei: "Shang Xiang, please, withdraw!" Sun Shang Xiang: "You know my family has always come first... I cannot withdraw, not even for you." 3. Wei Characters [WEIC] ================================= --------------------------- 3a. Cao Pi [CAO] --------------------------- <<>> At the beginning: Da Ji: "You wouldn't mind explaining what we have in plan, would you?" Mitsunari: "Our forces will divide into two parties. The main force will move west from the river, taking out any enemies in its path. The mobile unit will circle to the north of the main camp and attack from there." Cao Pi: "And what exactly will you be doing?" Mitsunari: "I'm taking the south. Do you have a problem with that?" Da Ji: "I'll keep an eye on how you two go from back there. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what new highs of cruelty you can reach." Approach Zhang Jiao: Zhang Jiao: "Fools! Do you not see that you follow a demon!? You shall be judged!" Cao Pi: "Out of my way, you relic!" After defeating Zhang Jiao: Huang Gai: "Move north and annihilate any enemy that approaches." Cao Pi: "The enemy approaches. We must join with the mobile unit and fight back." Mitsunari: "The roads cleared up. I'm taking this chance to seize the enemy main camp." Cao Pi: "Mitsunari... He used us as bait to distract the enemy while he sneaked in!" Approach Xiahou Yuan: Xiahou Yuan: "I can't believe the Prince of Wei would sink on to wait a snake!" Cao Pi: "The truly evolved man moves with the times." Defeat Xiahou Yuan: Xiahou Yuan: "Your father would never have let Wei fall apart like this if he were alive!" Cao Pi: "The men of Wei have lost none of their spirit, I see..." Approach Xu Zhu: Xu Zhu: "Huang Gai's so unfair! No food until we win... That's just mean! Cao Cao always made sure we had plenty to eat..." Cao Pi: "If it isn't Xu Zhu..." Defeat Xu Zhu: Cao Pi: "We don't need ropes for him. Just find him something to eat, and he'll be happy." Approach Huang Gai: Huang Gai: "Filthy worms! Feel the iron force of justice!" Cao Pi: "So the bandits are simply fossils of Wu." After rendezvousing with main unit: Cao Pi: "Our allies are watching. We must not be shown up!" <<>> At the beginning: Da Ji: "Report. How are we doing?" Mitsunari: "Our two southern garrisons have already fallen. We're defending three other bases." Cao Pi: "Reinforcements are on their way. Until then, we must keep the enemy at bay." Approach Huang Gai: Huang Gai: "I owe you a beating, and it's coming now!" Cao Pi: "I thought I taught you that a small posse of bandits is no match for Orochi. But if you weren't paying attention, I suppose I'll have to repeat myself." Approach Mitsuhide Akechi: Mitsuhide: "This blade will measure your caliber." Cao Pi: "It cannot be measured by your puny knife." Approach Zhuge Liang: Zhuge Liang: "It is somewhat unexpected to see you following Orochi's orders so obediently, Cao Pi." Cao Pi: "As it is to see the mighty strategist of Shu here." Zhuge Liang: "Hmm... I look forward to witnessing your performances." If allied commander is defeated: Cao Pi: "I had no idea Nobunaga had grown so strong..." <<>> At the beginning: Cao Pi: "The bridge is down, and we are isolated from our camp. Send Zhang He to defend it." Zhang He: "You once had a beautiful dream, of total domination! I cannot follow you when you take orders from such a misshapen beast." Cao Pi: "And you were once a loyal soldier of Wei... Things change. Move with the times." Approach Zhang He: Cao Pi: "Zhang He. If you do not follow my orders, you will be punished." Zhang He: "You expect me to sully myself by fightning for an animal?" Cao Pi: "No, I expect you to honor your duty by fightning for me." Zhang He: "Very well, I have faith in you." Approach Zhao Yun: Zhao Yun: "How can you throw away your pride like this and side with the forces of evil?" Cao Pi: "I have nothing to say to one so blind." If Zhang He joins you at the end of the stage: Cao Pi: "A wasteful battle, but it was not total waste of time." Clear the stage without rescuing Zhang He: Cao Pi: "And for now victory is important." If allied main camp falls: Cao Pi: "Our camp has fallen. All forces, withdraw." <<>> At the beginning: Cao Pi: "So, Sun Ce has already made his move... What of Sun Quan?" Mitsunari: "He's chasing after his brother... I think he figures he's gone too early." Cao Pi: "Give him all the aid he needs. Sun Ce must not escape!" Approach Mitsunari Ishida after Ranmaru Mori has appeared: Cao Pi: "Just who is that boy?" Mitsunari: "A companion of Nobunaga's. He's surprisingly handy with that enormous sword." Once Da Ji arrives: Da Ji: "Hey! You still haven't caught Sun Ce?" Cao Pi: "How wonderful to see you, our illustrious leader." Approach Ranmaru Mori: Cao Pi: "What is it about Sun Ce that makes you care so much?" Ranmaru: "I see his greatness, and I want to believe." Approach Zhou Yu: Zhou Yu: "You won't lay a finger on my lord!" Cao Pi: "Escape by sea - very cunning indeed." Approach Sun Ce: Sun Ce: "I won't be caught!" Cao Pi: "Then you'd better straight swimming, little fish." Once Zhou Yu arrives: Sun Ce: "Prepare to launch the boats. We'll buy some time!" Cao Pi: "So, he means to escape by sea." If Sun Quan is defeated: Sun Quan: "Brother, you are tragically misguided... Cao Pi: "You should have kept your head, Sun Quan. But this result pleases me..." Defeat Sun Ce: Sun Ce: "You were the better man. What are you going to do with me? Cao Pi: "Nothing. You may go. And Orochi's grip weakens..." <<>> Approach the trapped Goemon Ishikawa: Goemon: "Oh! Hey you! Help me out here, will ya?" Cao Pi: "I have no obligation to help a petty thief." Goemon: "Aw, don't say that, pal. I'll make it worth your while." Approach Kunoichi: Cao Pi: "And just who might you be?" Kunoichi: "I know, I know. I'm so beautiful you can hardly believe your eyes, right?" Approach Kotaro Fuma: Kotaro: "I am Fuma, the winds of chaos." Cao Pi: "Who are you? You look like an ally, but you stand in our way." Kotaro: "I am chaos... Ally of none, enemy to all who strive for any goal other than the perpetuation of pandemonium." <<>> At the beginning: Cao Pi: "We will attack the enemy from the flanks. We will head south. You officers of Wu go west." Sun Shang Xiang: "Fine. Leave it to us!" Defeat Xiahou Dun: Xiahou Dun: "Not bad... But you haven't earned my respect yet, youngster!" Cao Pi: "Then would you like to give me another chance?" Once enemy engineers appear: Cao Pi: "The enemy has a plan in motion. Stop it." Approach Sun Shang Xiang: Sun Shang Xiang: "What's the matter? Why aren't you fightning?!" Cao Pi: "I will do this my own way." Sun Shang Xiang: "I don't know about you, but some of us have our parent's lives on the line here..." Defeat Xiahou Yuan: Xiahou Yuan: "Beating me doesn't mean anything..." Cao Pi: "If you're still not satisfied, have another go." Approach Pang Tong: Cao Pi: "I could use your cunning. How would you like to fight for me?" Pang Tong: "Well, I've got no mind to serve Orochi - if that's what you mean... Cao Pi: "Listen carefully. I said, how would you like to work for me?" Pang Tong: "Heh, thought so. Okay, you have yourself a deal." Defeat both Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan for the second time: Cao Pi: "You would both be of great value. Come, work for me." Xiahou Dun: "Orochi has crushed Wei... I am not fit to serve..." Cao Pi: "Wei is about to be revived." Xiahou Dun: "So, it seems there was truth in what Nobunaga said... Very well. You shall have my aid." If the allied main camp falls: Cao Pi "The plan has been derailed. Retreat." If Cao Pi is defeated: Cao Pi: "Impressive... Everyone, retreat." <<>> At the beginning: Mitsunari: "Fire everywhere... Flashy. We'd better not hang around. This could be fun. You have anything in mind?" Cao Pi: "There is only one thing to do. Hunt Da Ji down." Cao Pi: "We are struggling at the north castle gate. Things will go more smoothly if we can lure them inside the castle." Head downstairs of the castle: Cao Pi: "It will help if we lure the enemy in to the north." Mitsunari: "I guess I'll meet up with Huang Gai in the south, then." If both Cao Pi and Mitsunari Ishida are in your team when you head downstairs of the castle: Cao Pi: "He ought to keep that side safe. We will pull back our forces inside the gate." Once Da Ji's ambush party appears in the north side of the castle: Cao Pi: "A pathetic attempt at an ambush. Not a decent warrior in sight." Approach Cao Cao: Cao Cao: "You would turn your back on your father?!" Cao Pi: "My father would not lecture me on something so trivial." Defeat Cao Cao: Cao Pi: "Fools. Did they really think I would fall quaking before the phantom version of my father?" Let Huang Gai fall into enemy ambush and approach him after defeating Sun Jian: Cao Pi: "Have you become so senile that you cannot tell the difference of a phantom and reality?" Huang Gai: "Phantom or not, I cannot raise my weapon against my lord." Approach Da Ji as Cao Pi: Cao Pi: "I'll make sure you never bewitch anyone again!" Da Ji: "Care to put your sword where your mouth is?" Clear the stage: Mitsunari: "That was a little tougher than you'd planned, wasn't it?" Cao Pi: "Immaterial. A victory is victory." If Cao Pi is defeated: Cao Pi: "I disgust myself..." <<>> Approach Dong Zhuo: Dong Zhuo: "Filthy flies, hovering around a pot of honey! I'll swat you all away!" Cao Pi: "My ambition is not so fleeting as to be swatted away by your sweaty palm!" <<>> At the beginning: Mitsunari: "Nagamasa's one of these "love and honor" types. He won't do anything "dishonorable", trust me." Cao Pi: "And I suppose I am not trustworthy. Fair enough. I will prove my worth to him in this battle." Cao Pi: "You can make for the enemy castle via the by-path. You understand?" Da Ji: "...You don't trust me, do you? Relax. I'm not going to do anything I shouldn't... just yet..." After the first wave of enemy reinforcements have arrived: Messenger: "The enemy reinforcements have been delayed." Cao Pi: "Excellent news. Let's keep them waiting." Approach Oichi: Cao Pi: "I'm sure one as perspicacious such as you can see my true intent. And yet you still choose to fight?" Oichi: "I simply follow the orders of my lord Nagamasa." Defeat Oichi before all enemy reinforcements units arrive: Cao Pi: "This ought to prevent their reinforcements from arriving." If all enemy reinforcement units arrive: Cao Pi: "So they've finally got through... No matter. A few more insects to crush will make no difference." Approach Gan Ning: Gan Ning: "You ain't getting my head that easy!" Cao Pi: "I have no interest in your head. What I want is your skill." Approach Nagamasa Azai: Nagamasa: "You will need to show everything you have to get by me!" Cao Pi: "I fully intend to." Clear the stage: Nagamasa: "My lance... has proven unworthy..." Cao Pi: "Do not be ashamed. You have fought well." If you lose the allied main camp/Cao Pi is defeated: Cao Pi: "I did not pay due caution..." <<>> At the beginning: Cao Pi: "We must crush Dong Zhuo's army of oppression! We will attack from the front. Zhen, you advance from the east." Enter the one of the garrison after the enemy sorcerers have appeared: Major: "Some sort of prayer is taking place in the garrison!" Cao Pi: "So that is where their strength comes from. Take down the garrison!" Defeat one enemy sorcerer: Cao Pi: "There must be more in other garrisons. Destroy them all!" Once Xiahou Yuan approaches one of the roused enemy officers: Xiahou Yuan: "There's some sort of strange magic behind this... We could be in real trouble." Cao Pi: "Magic is easy, once you know how the trick is done." Once you have neutralized Fuma ninjutsu in the center: Cao Pi: "This obstacle has been overcome. Advance." Once enemy phantom soldiers appear: Major: "W-what's happening?! Our attack don't work on them!" Cao Pi: "More meddling conjurer's tricks. Find those responsible, and slaughter them." Approach Zhen Ji after fake Cao Pi has attacked her: Cao Pi: "Calm down, my love, I am here." Cao Pi: "How dare you do that to her! You will pay dearly!" Rescue Zhen Ji from the fake Cao Pi: Cao Pi: "Zhen, it's all right. It's all over." Zhen Ji: "My lord... You saved me..." After you have defeated all enemy sorcerer and rescued Zhen Ji from fake Cao Pi: Cao Pi: "Their trickery has run its course. All forces, advance!" Approach Kotaro Fuma: Cao Pi: "You have been something of a thorn in my side." Kotaro: "I am disappointed, Cao Pi. Your rebellion only serves to undermine the cause of chaos. That is why it must not succeed." Approach Dong Zhuo: Dong Zhuo: "Filthy garbage! What right have you to turn against your betters? I'll teach you a lesson with my own two hands!" Cao Pi: "You are the only filthy one I see here." If Zhen Ji joins you at the end of the stage: Zhen Ji: "I will never leave your side again, my lord." Cao Pi: "I would love nothing more than to hear your beautiful melodies, my lady." If Zhen Ji is defeated: Cao Pi: "Zhen has fallen... We must all retreat." <<>> At the beginning: Cao Pi: "Eastern unit - attract the enemy's attention. The rest of us will claim Mt. Tenno while we have the chance!" Approach Zhuge Liang: Cao Pi: "It has been a while, has it not? Since Tian Shui?" Zhuge Liang: "It was from that time that I knew you were waiting for an opportunity to turn." Claim Mt. Tenno: Cao Pi: "Use their cannons against them!" After Sima Yi has launched an enemy ambush party in the eastern route: Cao Pi: "I thought as much. Stay calm, and react appropriately." Once Da Ji defects to the Orochi Army: Mitsunari: "So, she's finally turned on us..." Cao Pi: "I only wonder what took her so long." Approach Sima Yi: Sima Yi: "Dear Lord Cao Pi, I am so glad to see you are well." Cao Pi: "And I you. It makes it so much more satisfying to kill you." Once Xu Rong and Hua Xiong charge toward the allied main camp: Cao Pi: "They are after our main camp! Stop them with your very lives!" Approach Da Ji after she defects: Da Ji: "I'm really sorry about before. I didn't mean to betray you." Cao Pi: "You meant to all along." Once Cao Cao Army arrives: Cao Pi: "Father, you have stayed alive all this time?" Once Cao Cao Army advances: Cao Pi: "My father will not claim all the glory for himself!" Approach Cao Cao: Cao Cao: "You have led our people well in my absence, my son." Cao Pi: "I am sure your arrival will boost the soldiers' morale still further." Approach Dian Wei: Cao Pi: "You have done a fine job keeping my father safe." Dian Wei: "I would gladly sacrifice my worthless life to save my benevolent lord!" Approach Dong Zhuo: Cao Pi: "What blinded you so much that you would side with Orochi?" Dong Zhuo: "All I care for is the creation of my grand paradise. Orochi can make that happen!" Clear the stage: Cao Pi: "This wil be our final battle. Find your courage, and go forth." <<>> Approach Tadakatsu Honda: Cao Pi: "He looks like he could be some use." <<>> At the beginning: Cao Cao: "My son, I will be the commander of this battle in name only. Go, you have an army to lead." Cao Pi: "Yes, my lord. Listen up! This will be our final battle. Orochi's time is done. We must restore Wei to its rightful place!" Cao Pi: "First we must claim the enemy cannons! Sally forth, my elite forces!" Approach Keiji Maeda: Keiji: "Orochi 'n me are good pals now, so don't expect to face him until you've dealt with me first! And I promise not to make this easy for you! Ha ha!" Cao Pi: "You realize it is miscreants like yourself who bring disorder to this world?" Keiji: "Yeah, well, somebody's gotta make life interesting, right?" Once Da Ji releases the boulders: Cao Pi: "How typical of Da Ji. Always trying something underhanded." Approach Da Ji as Cao Pi: Cao Pi: "You and I can play together no longer!" Da Ji: "That's such a pity... I promise I'll visit your grave." Seize three enemy cannon fortresses: Cao Pi: "Only one outpost remains. Seize it!" Approach Masamune Date as Cao Pi: Masamune: "Only the truly great can rule. If you can't understand that, then I'm afraid you forfeit the right to live." Cao Pi: "The way I see it, you haven't brought nothing but pain to this land." Masamune: "That's because you are too short-sighted to see the big picture." Seize all enemy cannon fortresses: Cao Pi: "Let Orochi taste the wrath of our cannons!" After Orochi has lowered Koshi Castle's drawbridges: Cao Pi: "The bridge has been lowered. Hold your fire! Advance, and slay the Serpent King!" Approach Lu Bu: Lu Bu: "Come on, you insects! No one is getting to Orochi without going through me! If you value your life, leave now!" Cao Pi: "If you wish to stand in my way, then I must simply go over you." Once the gates of Koshi Castle open: Cao Pi: "Show Orochi the might of Wei!" Approach Orochi: Orochi: "Only the worthy have made it. Now I shall see for myself the strength of mankind." Cao Pi: "Before my ambition, you will be powerless!" Orochi: "Such anger." If Cao Pi is defeated: Cao Pi: "I have let you down... Father..." <<>> Succeed in the sneak attack and destroying the castle gates: Cao Pi: "I see my father has not lost his touch." Approach Sun Ce: Cao Pi: "Sun Ce. I don't recall asking for your help." Sun Ce: "I was just passing and thought I'd drop by. Don't worry about it." Cao Pi: "Then I won't. But thank you, anyway." <<>> [E] Once Cao Pi appears: Cao Pi: "Can they do nothing without me? If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself..." <<>> [E] Escort two Cavalry units to the ambush point: Cao Pi: "The enemy cavalry may be on the move... Sally forth into the by-path and cut down all you see." If three Cavalry units are defeated: Cao Pi: "To set an ambush right in front of our main camp - a bold tactic indeed Unfortunetly, their plan had one fatal flaw... They forgot about me. Kill them!" <<>> [E] At the beginning: Cao Pi: "The water does not seem to have dampened their fevor any... But at least it keeps their reinforcements from arriving." Once Sun Quan withdraws: Cao Pi: "Sun Quan has withdrawn, I see... In the end, I can only rely on myself." Once Xiahou Dun arrives: Cao Pi: "My father's retainers still spend their lives chasing his ghost, I see." Approach Cao Pi: Cao Pi: "First, let me express my admiration for how you have fought thus far. Then, a caution: You shall go no further." Defeat Cao Pi: Cao Pi: "At least I have been able to gauge your progress. This defeat will be a blow to Orochi. Hehehe..." --------------------------- 3b.

Approach Kotaro Fuma: Kotaro: "I am Fuma, the wind of chaos." Zhang Liao: "You seem to be enjoying yourself." Kotaro: "What could be more entertaining than the maelstrom of mayhem that is war?" Once Nene triggers the boulders or tornadoes: Zhang Liao: "Do not panic. This is a simple trick - we must simply find the trickster!" <<>> At the beginning: Zhang Liao: "This will all be too easy. Sweep the remains of enemy aside, and claim the garrison." Once the enemy engineers appear: Zhang Liao: "If at first don't succeed, try something different... And it looks like they're trying fire. Do not let the enemy in!" Approach Kenshin Uesugi: Kenshin: "War is ecstasy..." Zhang Liao: "A man after my own heart!" Approach Shingen Takeda: Shingen: "Time to stretch the old legs, I think."

Perhaps he is even a match for Lord Lu Bu..." <<>> Approach Lu Bu: Lu Bu: "Come on, you insects! No one is getting to Orochi without going through me! If you value your life, leave now!" Zhang Liao: "You are almost unparalleled as a warrior... Why would you fight for Orochi?" Lu Bu: "Because Orochi is the greatest... But one day, I will surpass him!"

Kani: "And let us cut down any who stand in our path!" If you approach the main gate with Sakon Shima after rescuing Sun Jian from Osaka Castle: Sun Ce: "It's no good! It won't open!" Sakon: "We'll have to head west then. Better take out all the enemy troops first, though. We wouldn't want to have them come back for us later." If you approach the main gate with Sun Jian after rescuing him from Osaka Castle: Sun Ce: "It's no good! It won't open!" Sun Jian: "There's another gate to the west. We'll head that way. But we can't just let the enemy keep pouring in like this... So let's thin out their numbers a bit first!" Defeat certain number of enemy officers in front of the main keep: Sun Ce: "Too easy!" Sun Ce: "They're not giving up without a fight..." Sun Ce: "I'm gonna run right through them!" Once Niu Jin's defense forces appear: Niu Jin: "So... you've made it this far." Sun Ce: "This isn't good..." Approach Pang De: Pang De: "My halberds will not allow your entry!" Sun Ce: "You really know how to show up when you're least wanted, don't you?"

Zhou Yu: "Yes, my lord, but if we can overcome the troops stationed there, then the cannons will be ours." Sun Ce: "All right! First priority, take down the cannoneers!" Approach Zhou Yu: Zhou Yu: "This is not certainly the way we planned this..." Sun Ce: "I've chosen my path, and they've chosen theirs. That's just the way it is. Even though in the end, we're all aiming for the same goal." Approach Ina: Sun Ce: "Please, tell me how my sister's doing?" Ina: "She cannot understand why you would leave your father to die." Sun Ce: "I thought as much. If only I could tell her that's not it at all..." Ina: "No excuses! I have heard them all! When you and I cross weapons... I will know if you really are a traitor or not!" Approach Ina again after she reappears: Ina: "I must test you again before I can believe you!" Sun Ce: "Whatever you have to do. Just know that I'll do what's necessary as well." Defeat Da Qiao as Sun Ce after Sun Quan has appeared: Sun Ce: "Please forgive me... But I have a favor to ask of you. Please stand by my brother. He's all on his own, and he needs someone."

I know I'm leaving Wu in safe hands..." <<>> At the beginning: Sun Ce: "Listen, fat man! You lay so much as a finger on my wife, I'll see you strung up, y'hear? Wait for me, my love! I'm coming to save you!" Rescue Da Qiao with Sun Ce in your team: Da Qiao: "Darling! You made it! I-I..." Sun Ce: "I'm so sorry! I promise I'll never leave you again!" Da Qiao: "And I am never letting you out of my sight!" After Coalition Army has succesfully rescued Da Qiao: Sun Ce: "Now that we're back together, there's only one thing left to do. Teach that philandering fat man a lesson!" Once reinforcements for the Da Qiao Army arrive: Zhou Fang: "Please forgive my tardiness, my lady. I am here to help." Sun Ce: "Great! I'll need all the help I can get to string that enormours carcass up!" Succeed in defending the main camp: Sun Ce: "Our camp is safe. We need to focus on catching Dong Zhuo!" Approach Dong Zhuo: Dong Zhuo: "No man ruins my dreams and gets away with it!" Sun Ce: "Your dreams disgust me! And now, you're gonna pay for even trying to lay a finger on my wife!" If Da Qiao joins you at the end of the stage: Da Qiao: "And... you're going to stay with me this time... right?" Sun Ce: "Of course! I should have never let you go in a first place!" <<>> At the beginning; Sun Ce: "I will stand my ground. Fight me as long as you must, brother." Sun Quan: "You don't have to tell me what to do anymore, brother!" Sun Ce: "Ready to move in? Lu Meng, everything in place?" Lu Meng: "Preparations are ready, my lord." Approach Keiji Maeda after luring the enemy vanguard inside the castle: Keiji: "It's gonna take more than this to beat me, pal." Sun Ce: "Ha! My brother has strange taste in allies!" Keiji: "Alright, then. Would you like me to beat you black, or blue?" Approach Zhen Ji after luring the enemy vanguard inside the castle: Zhen Ji: "Such deviousness... I would be impressed if I wasn't so disgusted!" Sun Ce: "You're more fool for falling into it, I say." Approach Cao Ren: Cao Ren: "Can you really bring yourself to fight your brother like this?" Sun Ce: "Absolutely! My brother will kick me all over the battlefield unless I give it my all!" Approach Zhou Tai: Zhou Tai: "I shall defend my lord." Sun Ce: "You certainly are loyal, and for that I've always been grateful." Approach Sun Quan: Sun Quan: "I shall pour my very soul into defeating you, brother!" Sun Ce: "I would expect nothing less from you." If Sun Ce is defeated: Sun Ce: "I misjudged the situation..." <<>> At the beginning: Sun Ce: "We've got to find my father before Orochi's men capture him again!" Sun Shang Xiang: "But look! He's already surrounded!" Sun Ce: "Wait, Father! This time I'll promise I'll save you!" Cheng Pu: "The enemy defenses are robust. We need to distract them with a decoy. We will launch a decoy attack from the center." Jiang Qin: "And I will take the northern garrison!" Sun Ce: "...I would be nowhere without you, my faithful retainers. We'll head south, and rescue my father. Onward!" Rescue Sun Jian and Sun Quan: Sun Ce: "Father! Quan! I can't believe it! Together at last!" Approach Zhang He if all decoy units were defeated before you rescued Sun Jian and Sun Quan: Sun Ce: "This is for locking up my friends!" Approach Da Ji: Sun Ce: "You! You're the one person I'll show no mercy!" If you try to head towards the center battlefield at the beginning: Sun Ce: "If we go in here, our men have acted as a decoy for nothing! We have to turn back, and rescue my father!" Clear the stage: Sun Ce: "Next time we meet will be your last day in this godforsaken place!" Sun Shang Xiang: "We've done it!" <<>> Approach Tadakatsu Honda: Tadakatsu: "I will teach you the true meaning of warrior hood." Sun Ce: "Hey! This is the kind of enemy that makes it worth being a warrior for!" <<>> Once the enemy cannons begin firing: Sun Ce: "What the hell are those things...?"

Rescue Sun Shang Xiang: Sun Ce: "You had me worried there for a while, sis!" Sun Shang Xiang: "Sorry about that. But don't worry, I'm fine now!" Approach Da Ji and injure her: Sun Ce: "Normally I hate goodbyes, but I'm looking forward to seeing you go!" Da Ji: "It makes no difference what happens to me. You'll never beat Orochi!" Approach Lu Bu: Lu Bu: "You want at Orochi?! Then you'll have to go through me!" Sun Ce: "Not a problem. I was planning on it anyway." Approach Orochi: Orochi: "Only the worthy have made it. Now I shall see for myself the strength of mankind." Sun Ce: "I've got a lot of built-up tension, and I think it's time to let it all out!" <<>> [YA] Rescue Sun Ce: Sun Ce: "Thanks! I could use a helping hand!" After you have defeated enemy officers around Sun Ce: Sun Ce: "I'd team up with the devil himself if it meant I could see a panic in that smarmy face!" If you fail in the fire attack: Sun Ce: "When all else fails, you have to have faith in your own ability. All forces, advance!" If Sun Ce is on the verge of defeat: Sun Ce: "We could be in real trouble this time..." If Sun Ce is defeated: Sun Ce: "Father... Forgive me..." <<>> [YA] After Sun Ce has arrived: Sun Ce: "I heard Orochi's officers were mostly made up of Wu and Wei... But there's an awful lot of Shu guys defending that castle." Defeat Mi Zhu: Sun Ce: "It's an unpleasant thing having to fight against your former allies, isn't it? And I know exactly what that feels like..." Defeat Zhang Fei: Sun Ce: "They've got Liu Bei captured and that's forcing his men to fight for them... But they'll never win a war with unwilling troops!" After the Edo Castle is set on fire: Sun Ce: "Luring us in and then burning us out... This smells like Zhuge Liang's work. I wonder... Was he behind pitting the officers of Shu against each other as well?" <<>> [E] Once Sun Ce reaches to northwest corner: Cheng Pu: "My lord, make way to the garrison. Leave the rest to me." Sun Ce: "Thanks! Just make sure you stay alive!" Once Sun Ce reaches to northern garrison: Ranmaru: "My lord, please, leave this to me and escape." Sun Ce: "I am in your debt... I pray that we will live long enough for me to pay it!" Once Sun Ce leaves the northern garrison: Han Dang: "My lord, you must hurry to the dock!" Sun Ce: "It's good to see you all safe!" Han Dang: "Zhou Yu is also on his way!" Sun Ce: "Excellent! We're not beaten yet!" Once Sun Ce reaches the docks: Sun Ce: "Come on, Zhou Yu, we haven't got all day!" Once Zhou Yu arrives: Zhou Yu: "My lord! I am sorry I'm late!" Sun Ce: "Finally! Quick, men, hurry to the docks!" If Sun Ce manages to escape: Sun Ce: "Ready for launch! Everyone on board!" <<>> Approach Sun Jian: Sun Jian: "How dare you turn your blade against your own father!" Sun Ce: "I would never turn my blade on my father. But you are not he!" <<>> [YA] Succeed in both of Cao Cao's plans and wait for Sun Ce to arrive: Sun Ce: "I'm ready to fight! Just show me who to clobber!" If Sun Ce arrives after Da Ji's engineers have appeared: Sun Ce: "Bad luck, Da Ji! Now that I'm here, your fire-raising days are done!" Cao Cao: "Support from Wu... This world gets more curious by the second. Let us join together, and destroy the enemy!" If Sun Ce is defeated: Sun Ce: "Looks like this is going nowhere! Time for me to split!" --------------------------- 4b. Ieyasu Tokugawa [IEY] --------------------------- <<>> Approach Sun Ce: Sun Ce: "You and I are on the same boat, so we may as well get along."

Approach Ranmaru Mori as Ieyasu Tokugawa: Ranmaru: "Lord Tokugawa... how could you fight for such a monster!?" Ieyasu: "I don't expect one so young to understand this old man's motives." Approach Ma Chao as Ieyasu Tokugawa: Ma Chao: "You'll fight for that demon too? Then you'll find my spear unforgiving!" Ieyasu: "Sometimes you have to do the devil's work in order to do right." <<>> Approach Ling Tong as Ieyasu Tokugawa: Ling Tong: "You don't seem the sort to be won over by a snake, so what's your story?" Ieyasu: "I have nothing to say to you." Ling Tong: "Whatever. Just take care of Sun Ce, okay?" Approach Gan Ning as Ieyasu Tokugawa: Gan Ning: "You're one lucky man to be fightning with Sun Ce." Ieyasu: "I would not have thought one fightning against him would think so, though." Gan Ning: "You got that right!" <<>> Approach Gan Ning as Ieyasu Tokugawa: Gan Ning: "Ring the bell! It's punchin' time!" Ieyasu: "This is all to protect my allies. It is the heavy burden I must bear." Gan Ning: "Oh, come on!

Hurry, or you will be killed!" Yoshimoto: "Welcome, Master Ieyasu! It's been so long, won't you stay for a cup of tea?" Ieyasu: "Uh... I'd be delighted, but can we make it another time, do you think?" Approach Pang De: Pang De: "It is my duty to eliminate all dangerous elements!" Ieyasu: "Take a look around you, man. Tell me, who do you think is the dangerous element?" Pang De: "...I see your point." Approach Zhen Ji: Ieyasu: "That pretty face is wasted upon such a cruel woman." Zhen Ji: "I will be as cruel as I must if it helps my lord." Ieyasu: "Well... At least you seem to have some principles." If allied commander is defeated: Ieyasu: "I can hold out no longer... Withdraw!" <<>> Approach Ina: Ieyasu: "Ina, what an unexpected surprise." Ina: "My lord! ...But I cannot betray my friend..." <<>> At the beginning: Ieyasu: "Your wife needs you. I will take care of our main camp." Once Ieyasu Tokugawa prepares iron-clad defensive line: Ieyasu: "Hold tight, men! We can expect an attack at any moment." If Ieyasu succeeds in defending the allied main camp: Ieyasu: "Our main camp has been kept safe." Sun Ce: "Thanks. I owe you one, that's for sure!" If Ieyasu Tokugawa is defeated: Ieyasu: "Forgive me, Sun Ce... I could not endure..." <<>> Once Ieyasu Tokugawa arrives as allied reinforcements: Ieyasu: "You have endured bravely. With our help, now is the time to strike back." Once Ieyasu Tokugawa approaches an enemy officer: Ieyasu: "Let us show them all the pride of Mikawa." Approach Zhou Tai: Ieyasu: "I will rely on you once again, Zhou Tai." Zhou Tai: "Very well." Ieyasu: "A man of few words, but of action. You remind me of someone else." Approach Ina: Ina: "My lord, why does Keiji fight for Orochi?" Ieyasu: "He is strong, and perhaps he sees an outlet for that strength." Ina: "...My father is also strong..." Ieyasu: "Tadakatsu is a proud warrior. I am not concerned about him in a slightest." <<>> Approach Dong Zhuo: Ieyasu: "I think you need to learn the virtues of patience and forbearence, my friend." <<>> Approach Tadakatsu Honda: Ieyasu: "Put down your spear, Tadakatsu, it's me!" Tadakatsu: "Only a soulless demon would try to use my master's face to trick me!" Approach Tadakatsu Honda once he reappears as YA officer: Tadakatsu: "I have been foolish. Please forgive me." Ieyasu: "It's all right. I know that it was simply a reflection of your loyalty to me." Takadatsu: "I am not worthy of your words, my lord." <<>> Approach Dong Zhuo after Sun Shang Xiang is captured: Dong Zhuo: "Another bug to be crushed underfoot!" Ieyasu: "In the grand scheme of things, we are all just bugs. Some are just fatter and smellier than others." Approach Orochi: Orochi: "Only the worthy have made it. Now I shall see for myself the strength of mankind." Ieyasu: "This shall be a test of us both - who will endure until the end?" <<>> At the beginning: Ieyasu: "We need to claim a decisive victory here, and give ourselves some momentum. Sakon, we will be relying on your strategical acumen." Sakon: "Right. I think we might start off things with a spark. First, though, we need to secure the road by cleaning up the south." Approach Sakon Shima: Sakon: "I never thought the day would come when you would call on my services." Ieyasu: "The world moves in mysterious ways." Sakon: "That it does." Once Lu Xun arrives: Ieyasu: "Lu Xun! I have heard tales of his tactical genius. Hurry and rendezvous with Lu Xun. We need his assistance!" Clear the southern area of enemy officers: Ieyasu: "The south is in our hands." If Sakon Shima's fire attack is succesful: Ieyasu: "The flames burn even brighter. Sakon has come through for us." If Lu Xun's fire attack fails as well: Ieyasu: "We needed that plan to work..." Ieyasu: "...We're not beaten yet! Hold on, and wait for the moment to strike!" Once Ieyasu Tokugawa orders a full assault: Ieyasu: "Now is our chance. All forces, move in!" <<>> Approach Sun Quan: Sun Quan:"So, you are prepared to discard your life to save Liu Bei... Be warned. For the future of Wu, I am prepared to take your life."

Once ambush party appears: Zhou Yu: "A little ambush to get things started, huh? It wasn't too hard to guess that would be coming. Auxiliary unit, reinforce the frontlines."

We have friends at stake, remember!" Zhou Yu: "Plus, we have plans to meet up with Sakon in the city below their castle." Sun Ce: "In that case, we'll round up those troublemaking city-dwellers first." Zhou Yu: "You know, my lord, most people would struggle to enjoy this situation as you are." Take the southern area: Messenger: "Enemy reinforcements are approaching from the north-west." Zhou Yu: "It looks like they're waiting for reinforcements before they strike. Seize the northeastern garrison!

That ought to have taken care of them." Sakon: "There is no greater compliment than one coming from you." Zhou Yu: "Still, it was a lucky break that the wind blew from the southeast like that..." Sakon: "I had a feeling it might." <<>> [YA] After the leadership of the army has been entrusted to Zhou Yu: Zhou Yu: "The enemy are vast in number. A frontal assault would be the height of idiocy. Therefore, we shall smoke the enemy out, and burn them to the ground. Advance, and claim the central square!" Zhou Yu: "Sweep the enemy clear of this area! I am sending Zhu Ran!" Once Zhu Ran starts making preparations for the fire attack: Zhou Yu: "Hold out until the fire attack is ready!" Once Kotaro Fuma appears: Zhou Yu: "An intruder!

In that case, might I suggest following a little plan I have hatched." If Sakon Shima arrives before you've cleared the southern area: Sakon: "Sorry I'm late.

Sakon: "You know, I think you're the ignorant one. Unaware that Da Ji is about to be squashed like a bug." <<>> Once Tadakatsu Honda raises morale: Sakon: "Tadakatsu is their inspiration. He has to be eliminated." Approach Tadakatsu Honda and defeat him for the second time: Tadakatsu: "...This is a disgrace." Sakon: "Me? Work for him? Never. You're under a misapprehension, my friend.

Once Sako Shima orders his engineers to advance: Sakon: "Engineers, move out!" If Sakon Shima's fire attack fails: Sakon: "That puts the dampener on my fire attack..." Approach Lu Xun after his fire attack: Sakon: "Great job with the fire attack before." Lu Xun: "Not at all. I only succeeded because you laid all the groundwork." Sakon: "If only your boss had your humility, he wouldn't make so many enemies..." <<>> Approach Mitsunari Ishida: Sakon: "I would have thought you might turn up your nose at a bodyguarding job."

Once Zhang Liang triggers the falling boulders: Sakon: "Does he even know where he's going?" Once Zhang Jiao triggers the eruption of geysers: Sakon: "What does he think he's doing, dividing our forces in two like that? Re-establish contact with Zhang Jiao, and take down the castle!" Once Okuni advances: Sakon: "You're supposed to be luring them out, not knocking them flat!" After Xiao Qiao has ordered the release of rolling boulders: Sakon: "I told you to wait for my signal...!"

Let No approach Zhen Ji: Zhen Ji: "So you must be the witch who lured those men into helping her escape..." No: "And you must be Da Ji's little lapdog, am I right?"

Let No approach Masamune Date: Masamune: "You should have been good little girl and stayed in your cell!" No: "Oh, you know me. I just crave stimulation..." If there are enemy officers remaing after Dong Zhuo, Zhen Ji and Masamune Date have been defeated: No: "There are still some vermins inside the castle. Shall we exterminate them together?"

Would you mind showing me where you boys have set up a camp?" If No doesn't join you after clearing the stage: Lu Meng: "Looks like we're out of the woods. You're safe now, my lady."

You are allowed to think for yourself, you know." <<>> Approach Zhuge Liang: Mitsuhide: "You are breaking the hearts of the historians of future generations with your treachery."

We must keep it until we have achieved victory." <<>> [E] At the beginning: Mitsuhide: "The enemy storehouses have been secured. Their morale is suffering. We must seize the initiative.

Sun Shang Xiang: "Hey, stop looking at me like that! And who's Nene?" Hideyoshi: "This could be tough. I never even win an argument against Nene." <<>> Approach Ma Chao: Ma Chao: "My spear shall not forgive your...- Wait, you are an ally!" Hideyoshi: "I am a friend!

We bought it, hook, line and sinker!" Approach Sakon Shima: Sakon: "Useless to a man. Not one person waiting for my orders. Oh well, I guess it's time to show that I have more than just brains." Hideyoshi: "Never mind, old chap. If it's any consolation, I'm sure your plans were very good." <<>> At the beginning: Hideyoshi: "Great job holding out, young man!" Mitsuhide: "We will assist.

The once great warrior, now aging less than gracefully, or so I hear." Zhang Fei: "Shut that impudent mouth unless you want my spear down your throat!" Approach Dong Zhuo: Dong Zhuo: "Get out of my way, you filthy monkey!" Hideyoshi: "Filthy?! I'll have you know I'm groomed on a regular basis, thank you very much!" <<>> At the beginning: Hideyoshi: "Dong Zhuo's supposed to be getting a special delivery...

What say we take a break for a while and get to know each other a little better?" Approach Ling Tong: Ling Tong: "So, what's this Nobunaga like anyway?" Hideyoshi: "He's absolutely without peer. None can stop him... except, of course, for myself." Ling Tong: "...Is that a fact?" Once enemy phantom troops appear: Zhang Jiao: "I see it, I see it. This wickedness originates in Bai Ma Castle. I shall rain down the divine punishment upon this evil practioner of the devil's work!" Hideyoshi: "Go on, you're just guessing, right?" Approach Da Qiao: Hideyoshi: "Ah, the lovely elder sister.

Approach Xiahou Dun: Hideyoshi: "Right now, it's not the dark tall guy you want to worry about - it's the taller, scaly guy!" Xiahou Dun: "Lord Cao Cao will easily dispose Orochi in good time. This pretender is of no use." Defeat Xiahou Dun: Hideyoshi: "Every man and woman on this field resents Orochi, and yet he has us fightning against each other. When what we should be doing, is whacking some snakes!" Approach Cao Pi before Ling Tong talks to him: Hideyoshi: "Cao Pi, why do you waste your resources in this meaningless battle?" Cao Pi: "I cannot think of what you could possibly mean." Hideyoshi: "Play dumb all you like - my lord has seen through your charade." <<>> Approach Ina: Hideyoshi: "Hey, aren't you Tadakatsu's daughter? What are you doing?"

Sun Shang Xiang: "I've never seen you before in my life." Hideyoshi: "Oof... Don't play hard to get, now. Who could forget this charismatic face?" Approach Sima Yi: Hideyoshi: "The great strategist...? But you've got such a mean, twisted little face..." Sima Yi: "Do you expect me to be angered by a taunt like that, you little fool?!" Hideyoshi: "Oh no, I could never anger you. You're just the picture of serenity." If Hideyoshi Toyotomi arrives as allied reinforcements: Hideyoshi: "My lord! I bring reinforcements! They look every bit as tough as you said, my lord! Hurry, men!" <<>> Once Zhou Yu or Li Dian arrives: Hideyoshi: "Okay! Nobunaga was right - our numbers have grown!" Approach Lu Bu after he advances: Lu Bu: "The only path to Orochi is through me!" Hideyoshi: "I'm... I'm not frightened... Just a little cold."

You can't be trusted!" <<>> Approach Meng Huo after rescuing all Nanman units: Hideyoshi: "That sure is a strong woman you got there. I bet you live in a fear of putting the foot out of line, eh?"

Or indeed, a married girl?" <<>> Rescue Sun Quan and Sun Jian: Hideyoshi: "Now, there'the matter of my reward. I was thinking, your daughter." Sun Jian: "E-excuse me?" Hideyoshi: "Er... I was thinking that your daughter deserves the reward, not me. Yes, that's it..." --------------------------- 5d. Guan Ping [GUP] --------------------------- <<>> [YA] At the beginning: Guan Ping: "I thought the east looked undermanned, but it looks like there's no way through... Still, who was that guy?"

I sense his hand behind the confusion in the enemy ranks!" Approach Okuni as Guan Ping: Okuni: "Oh, what a cute little boy. What's your name?" Guan Ping: "I am Guan Ping, son of Guan Yu." Okuni: "Is that right? Well, Ping, if you're half the man your father is, then count me interested. How about you and I take a nice long trop back to Izumo? I could show you a thing or two." Guan Ping: "I-I am sorry, there is only one woman for me..." Okuni: "Oh, I don't mind about that if you don't mind. She can't tell a big boy like you what to do, can she?" Approach Kanetsugu Naoe: Guan Ping: "Why have you decided to help us?" Kanetsugu: "The battle against Orochi is a battle of honor." Guan Ping: "Honor...?

Heroes indeed!" 3rd report: "I bring bad news! Our allies are struggling at Nagashino!" Guan Ping: "Orochi's superior numbers are beginning to prevail...

You are the one who is overripe!" Once Tadakatsu Honda arrives: Huang Zhong: "What a remarkable warrior! He reminds me of myself, in my younger days." Approach Masamune Date: Masamune: "You idiots! Why do you resist?! Don't you realize that only Orochi can bring true peace to this land?!" Huang Zhong: "Oh yes!

As much as I hate to use one of his ploys, this should do the trick..." Once the gates of southeastern garrison open: Sima Yi: "Onward! Here on this battlefield, Nobunaga shall draw his final breath!" Once peasants escape: Sima Yi: "The commoners have escaped us... No matter! As long as we can finally put an end to the Resistance!"

Capture the northwestern garrison after enemy forces have fled: Kenshin: "Now, where are they going from here?" Once Kenshin Uesugi is caught in Da Ji's trap: Kenshin: "Ambushes, cannons... This is more fun. Destroy those cannons now. They are beginning to annoy me."" Approach Lu Bu after he advances: Lu Bu: "The only path to Orochi is through me!" Kenshin: "Very well... Let us drink from the sweet chalice of war together." Approach Orochi: Orochi: "You have proven yourself the best of your kind. Come, and show me how feeble you really are." Kenshin: "Be prepared... I am the very embodiment of the God of War." Kenshin: "Since I am pure evil, then I assume you are here to excorcise me." <<>> [E] Once the the first enemy wave advances: Kenshin: "First wave...

Kanetsugu: "These forces are squabbling amongst each other, instead of seeing the larger picture. Even Nobunaga seems to be more concerned with strengthening his own power base than conquering Orochi... Although my lord did say that Nobunaga is a greater man than that..." Form an alliance with Naoe Army: Kanetsugu: "When such righteous warrios combine, there is nothing to fear!"

Run, with your tails between your legs!" <<>> Approach Orochi: Lu Bu: "I have bided my time, waiting for this moment, Orochi. When I defeat you, I will be the greatest warrior of all time!"
