Introduction * ******************* Dynasty Warriors 4 is definitely a game like no other. In it, you take control of an officer, and guide him through a kingdom's history. There are over 40 playable characters and over 400 non-playable ones. What makes this even more interesting is that it's based off real life! There's a section in the game that proves it. Go to other modes to see what I mean. If you have any questions/comments/suggestions/typos, etc., e-mail me at wizardman120@yahoo.com. If you have additions, see the bottom of the FAQ. ********************** * 2. Version History * ********************** (A 0.05 increase is a small update, whereas a 0.1 increase is a larger update, where I have added some information.) Version 0.9- Crap, I never finished this! E-mail update, added a bit more to Wu’s musou mode. Less than half of the Wu stages left then I’m done. (November 2006) Version 0.8- HUGE format update. (According to some well-liked authors, I need it. :P) I added some more of Wu's musou mode as well. (Up to the Imperial Seal.) (11/17/03) Version 0.7- New and improved (unlike last time) ASCII Art, corrected a bunch of small typos, and I threw in at least SOMETHING for the Wu Musou Mode. (11/14/03) Version 0.65- Another not-really-an-update. Changed the ASCII. Added some stuff as proof that I haven't given up :P. (11/4/03) Note: Dynasty Warriors 4: XL is out today. Version 0.6- Added in a couple of level 10 weapons. I should seriously change my mind about the only level 10 weapons being up are ones I've unlocked... (10/13/03) Version 0.55- Not really an update, just letting you know that I changed my e- mail address to wiardman222@earthlink.net. Anything should now be sent there. I have no idea when I'll add Wu musou mode. (10/7/03) Version 0.5- Minor update. Fixed up the Nanman campaign, threw in some questions into the FAQ, and fixed up some other stuff. Next update will be some of Wu's musou mode. (8/27/03) Version 0.4- Added the Yellow Turban musou mode and some FAQ questions. Modified Liu Bei's level 10 weapon description, as I've had complaints about it. I know it's confusing to get. It took me 5 tries. (8/22/03) *Possible last update for a while, as Wu's musou mode is the most confusing and time-consuming.* Version 0.3- Added the Endings and Morale sections. Added Shu and the Nanman's musou mode. (8/8-21/03) Version 0.2- Added Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao's musou modes. I'm testing out how to get a bunch of level 10 weapons, so that will probably be the main update next version. (7/29/03) Version 0.1- Started the guide. Posted the first version. Have 2 musou modes and almost everything else done. (7/26/03) ********** * 3. FAQ * ********** Q: How do you get the Red Hare Harness? A: Go to the battle of Xia Pi, with Lu Bu's forces. Do not kill any generals or officers right now. (regular troops okay) At some point, Guan Yu will meet up with Red Hare. At this point, go to him and kill him. A box will appear where the Red Hare was. In the box is the harness. Now complete the stage. (Yes, you can kill officers now.) Difficulty does not matter. Q: How do I unlock the other Musou modes? (Besides Wei, Wu, and Shu) A: This is how you unlock them. LU BU: Complete Wei, Wu, or Shu's musou mode. DONG ZHUO: Complete Lu Bu's musou mode. YUAN SHAO: Complete Wei's musou mode. NANMAN: Unlock Meng Huo and Zhu Rong. (Beat Nanman Campaign in Musou mode.) YELLOW TURBANS: Beat all the other musou modes. Q: How many characters are in the game? A: 42 playable characters, and hundreds of non-playable ones. Q: How do I get the item (whatever the item is)? A: Most items appear at random. Check the items section for details. Q: How do you unlock (insert character here)? A: The characters are all unlocked differently. Check the characters section for details. Q: How do you unlock the Two Qiaos stage? A: Complete Wu musou mode once. Then play Yellow Turban Fortress first, then Yellow Turban Rebellion. Q: How many weapons are there? A: For each character, there are 10 levels of weapons, and 4 actual ones. What I mean is Level 1-3 is a weapon, 4-6 is one, 7-9 is one, and 10 is the fourth one. Q: How do I get level 10 weapons? A: Look at the Level 10 section of the FAQ. Q: Why is Lu Bu so hard at Hu Lao gate? A: He was meant to be. Q: Why is Guan Yu so hard at Guan Du? A: He was meant to be. Q: Why is the Nanman campaign so hard? A: Well, they have the terrain advantage, you got the poison swamps, you got Meng Huo appearing 7 times, they have great amounts of morale, and you do not have a lot of troops. Koei made it hard on purpose. It's hard because they needed to put a hard stage in the game. Q: I completed the Nanman Campaign and beat Meng Huo and Zhu Rong in duels, but they're not unlocked. How come? A: You have to complete Shu musou mode after unlocking them. Q: My commander keeps dying. How can I save him? A: Place your bodyguards by him. He'll probably need it more than you. Q: Why does [character] suck so much? A: [Character] is probably not your style. That or he was made to suck. That or you haven't bothered leveling him. Q: What's a true musou? A: When you press the circle button and your life's in the red. It's more powerful and you hit the enemy more than a regular musou. Q: Why didn't you put the 2nd and 5th charges in? A: They're basically identical for everyone, except for a few small details. Q: How many stages are there? A: Counting duplicates (3 Xu Chang's, 3 Cheng Du's, etc.) 106. Q: I was playing with [character], and while I was playing, [other character] came as a bodyguard and started helping me. He had this aura around him too. What is it? A: When you reach certain requirements in the stage, then a warrior that you have a high relationship with may come and help you. You can increase relationship by helping them when they're struggling. Q: I have a different question that's not on your FAQ. A: E-mail it to me. I'll reply and probably post it here as well. ***************** * 4. Characters * ***************** There are 42 characters that you can play as in DW4. Listed is how you unlock them, their moves, and a bunch of other stuff that has to do with them. Example: ------- Example ------- Life, Musou, Attack, Bow Attack, Defense, Range, and Speed will have these ratings. *=Awful **=Pretty bad ***=Average ****=Pretty good *****=Great Life, Musou, Attack, and Defense ratings stand for their bar at the start of the game. Bow Attack, Range and Speed stand for their permanent bow attack, range and speed. Strategy- What strategy they use when they're computer-controlled. Balanced means they're strong against all computers, Offensive, Defensive, and Tactical mean that they're one of those. Offensive beats Defensive, Tactical beats Offensive, and Defensive beats Tactical. Normal is weak against all three. I think this is only put in effect when two generals have the same morale and they're going one-on-one against each other.

Items * ************ There are many items in Dynasty Warriors 4. They either give you a power boost, an elemental power, a horse, or they do something else. ------------------ = 5-1. Harnesses = ------------------ There are 5 Harnesses in the game. Each harness gets you a different horse. Here is how you get them. Red Hare Harness ///////////////// This Horse is the fastest one in the game, hands down. To unlock it, you must do the Battle of Xia Pi under Lu Bu's forces. The first thing you should do is probably kill some regular enemies. Don't kill any generals or officers. At some point, Guan Yu will meet up with Red Hare. Go and kill Guan Yu right now. A box will appear in the southeast corner. Inside is the Red Hare harness. Shadow Harness /////////////// When you mount this harness, you become immune to being knocked off any horse. So, if you put on the Shadow Harness and get a Red Hare, you can do pretty good for yourself. To unlock it, you must be playing the Battle of Tong Gate with Ma Chao's (Liu Bei's) forces. First, defeat the generals in the southeast. Then, there will be a cutscene with Cao Cao and Han Sui, and an Ice Fortress. Defeat Yu Jin and Xu Huang. Continue fighting until Cao Cao's morale drops to *. Eventually, the horses will be discovered, and Han Sui will refuse to defect. Head northeast on a horse and the item will appear. Storm Harness ///////////// When you use this harness, you get an increase in attack. To unlock it, you must be playing at Campaign against Cao Cao with Lu Bu's forces. You must see through Yue Jin's ambush and Xu Huang's ambush. To do this, go to the gate where Xiahou Yuan is on a red hare. He'll retreat. Go after hi, knock him off his horse, and kill him quickly, before he leaves the castle. Then, leave the castle, and Yue Jin will say that he's been spotted. Now go up the east part of the map to foil Xu Huang's ambush. Hex Mark Harness ///////////////// When you use this harness, you get an increase in luck. To get this, in only musou mode, you must first play the Yellow Turban Fortress, then the Campaign against Liu Bei. You probably figured out that you're the yellow turban forces. What you need to do is beat Guan Yu and Zhao Yun extremely quickly (About 2 minutes) Once Liu Bei's health is down, the item will appear. Elephant Harness ///////////////// When you use this harness, you uh, start on an elephant. That's it. To unlock it, you must be playing the Nanman Campaign with the Nanman. What you have to do is ride an elephant into Zhuge Liang's camp. Remember, you must ride on an elephant the first time you go into Zhuge's camp. ------------- = 5-2. Orbs = ------------- Orbs are things that give you a special elemental attack when you equip them. They go from levels 1 to 4. Some are easy to get, others are not. Where to get them? I played yellow Turban fortress 6 times in a row. (I was trying to get the wrong level 10 weapon.) Every time I got one orb. Listed below are the orbs. Fire //// The fire orb burns the enemy, which causes a little bit of extra damage. It's pretty good for officers, but it's lousy for weaker enemies. Rating: 3.5/5 Ice /// The ice orb can freeze the enemy in its tracks. When this happens, you can get a few extra hits on the person. Great for fast people. Rating: Good only at high levels. 3/5 Lightning ///////// The lightning orb hurts people in the immediate area surrounding you. Like with fire, the people fall down slowly. Rating: 3/5 Vorpal ////// The vorpal orb has a certain chance of instantly killing someone, and it gives a set amount of damage to an officer. Rating: Good at high levels. 4/5 Blast ///// The blast orb causes damage to enemies that are guarding. It also adds a little bit of extra damage. Rating: Can be good if it's used right, but useless if not. 2/5 Poison ////// The poison orb makes the enemy poisoned. They will receive extra damage when attacked. Rating: Utterly useless. The poison doesn't last long enough to get enough hits in. 0.5/5 ---------------------- = 5-3.

What you must do is quickly attack Sun Quan (or whoever's in front of the entrance.) so you can do in the castle. After this, Sun Jian will appear in the back of the map. At this point, you must kill 4 of these 5: Sun Shang Xiang, Sun Ce, Gan Ning, Lu Meng, and Zhou Tai. After that's done, a supply unit will appear on the map. Go kill them, and you will get the Art of War. Rating: Not Useful unless you can't live without those stat boosts. Survival Guide ////////////// The Survival Guide increases your attack twofold when your health is in the red. How to Unlock: You must be playing the Two Qiao's stage. All you have to do is rescue Da Qiao before Xiao Qiao. It will say that in item appeared near a bridge by the bottom of the stage. Inside is the Survival Guide.

Level 10 Weapons * *********************** For each character, there is a level 10 weapon. Some are easier than others.

(2 of the three) --------------- = CAW Weapons = --------------- None at the moment. ************* * 7. Morale * ************* Morale is one of the more important parts of Dynasty Warriors. Morale determines how well your allies fight, how well the other side fights, and more. ------------------ How to Gain Morale ------------------ Gaining Morale is slightly harder to do than losing morale, or making the enemy lose theirs. Here's some ways: 1. Kill enemies- For every fifty, someone will make a comment, and your army may gain an increase of 1 star in morale. 2. Successfully carry out tasks- For example, if you prevent the fire attack at Chi Bi on the Wei forces, then you'll get a big increase in morale. 3. Kill 1000 troops- When you kill 1000 troops, everyone's morale goes to 8 stars. That's one good way to beat the Nanman Campaign. 4. Kill generals- Whoever kills a general may have in increase in morale, whether it's the computer of you. 5. Kill sub-generals- For every sub-general you kill, the general in command of them loses a star of morale. That's an easy way to beat Zhang Jiao. --------------------------------- How to make the Enemy Lose Morale --------------------------------- Making the enemy lose morale is different then gaining it. Here's some ways to do it: 1. Kill officers- For example, if you kill Sima Yi's officer, then his morale will go down by 1. 2. Kill generals- If you kill a general, then any troops under that general's command will have no morale, and probably won't do anything. 3. Successfully carry out tasks- See above. 4. Kill lots of troops- If you kill a lot of one general's troops, then his morale will go down. ------------------------------------------- What the morale is for troops in each stage ------------------------------------------- I won't be listing every stage, or every troop. You see, 4 or 5 morale is normal, but if someone starts with 8 morale, then you know they play a big part in the stage. Here are some examples: Hu Lao Gate: Lu Bu starts with 8 morale. Guan Du: Guan Yu starts with 8 morale. Lu Bu's Revolt (Dong Zhuo's side): Lu Bu has 8 morale, Gao Shun has 7, Zhang Liao has 7, and Chen Gong has 6. Wu Zhang Plains (Wei Side- Musou Mode only) If you killed Ma Su at Jie ting, then he'll appear on this stage with 0 morale. Those are just a few examples out of all the different amounts of morale. /¯¯¯¯| | |¯¯¯¯\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ /¯¯¯¯¯ | \ | | Musou Mode | \_____ | / | |____/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ \____| Musou Mode is the main part of Dynasty Warriors. This is where you gain stages, gain experience, unlock characters, get some level 10 weapons, unlock endings, and more. I show the difficulty settings for easy. Add a star for normal and 2 for hard. About those codes to the right of the stages, they're keys so you can get to a stage faster. They are in order of the acts, except for the Falls of Wu and Shu, which can be switched around. *********************** * 8-1. Wei Musou Mode * (CC) *********************** This is the Musou Mode for Wei. ////////////////////// Act 1- A Hero of Chaos ////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / / / The Yellow Turban Menace (CC1) / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: * My Difficulty: * Your Team: Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and his officers, Liu Bei and his officers, and Sun Jian and his officers. Other Team: Zhang Liang (with Han Xian), Zhang Man Cheng, Deng Mao, Gao Sheng, Liu Pi, Guan Hai, Huang Shao, He Yi, and Yan Zheng. Objectives: Defeat Zhang Liang. Huangfu Song must survive. Huangfu Song: Insufferable Rouges. All units, engage the enemies outside the castle walls! Now the walkthrough. This battle is pretty straightforward. The Wei forces will attack the east enemies. This means you'll be attacking Deng Mao first. Attack the enemies around him and defeat him. After this, you can either go up toward Huang Shao, or you can go down and attack Gao Sheng. If you choose to attack Huang Shao, then your troops will begin going upward and Zhang Liang will summon a rainstorm. Huangfu Song will begin advancing, but He Yi will suddenly appear. Huangfu Song can handle He Yi by himself, but you might want to help him. Now, the enemies at the west gate are probably gone by now. Cao Cao will say that only Zhang Liang is left. He's wrong. You still have the people at the east gate to worry about. If you take your time killing everyone, then Yan Zheng will appear at the north gate. Kill him, then go north and beat Zhang man Cheng. Zhang Liang will then activate his geysers. They look fun, but they hurt. Go and kill Zhang Liang. If you kill Han Xian first, then Zhang Liang will retreat. If you kill Zhang Liang, then he won't appear in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / The Yellow Turban Fortress (CC2) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: * My Difficulty: * Your team: Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and his officers, Sun Jian and his officers, and Liu Bei and his officers. Other Team: Zhang Bao, Cheng Yuanzhi, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuan Shao, Bo Zhang, and He Yi. Objectives: Defeat Zhang Bao. Zhu Jun must survive. Zhu Jun: Cao Cao will advance from and east, and Sun Jian from the west. The volunteer forces may move as they like. Another straightforward battle. The Wei forces are on the right side, so just go down that way. Attack He Yi and his troops and defeat him. When you start making the turn to face Pei Yuan Shao, he will summon heavy winds. Cao Cao tells you to keep advancing, and he's right this time. Keep going down and you will find windmills. Attack the windmills, and they should fall. Kill Pei Yuan Shao and his troops. Continue marching and kill Cheng Yuanzhi and his troops. Now, you can either go in the castle and kill Zhang Bao, or go up and kill Zhou Cang. If you do this and our troops haven't entered the battlefield, then the phantoms won't appear. You can go up and kill Bo Zhang too, but he's probably dead by now. Go and kill Zhang Bao. Don't take over the stronghold, or he'll retreat. If you kill him, he won't appear in the next stage. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / The Yellow Turban Rebellion (CC3) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: * My Difficulty: * Your Team: He Jin, Cao Cao and his officers, Sun Jian and his officers, and Liu Bei and his officers. Other Team: Zhang Jiao (with Huang Shao, Liu Pi, Zhou Cang, and Han Xian), Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang (If you didn't kill them), Zhang Man Cheng (with Guan Hai), Pei Yuan Shao (with He Yi and Yan Zheng), Cheng Yuanzhi (with Gao Sheng), and Bo Zhang (with Deng Mao). Objectives: Defeat Zhang Jiao. He Jin must survive. He Jin: Cao Cao will penetrate enemy lines form the east, while Sun Jian attacks from the west. The volunteer forces (Liu Bei) will break through the middle, and join the other two forces. This battle looks hard, but it's not. Cao Cao and his troops will begin going up on the right side. The first officer you see will probably be Deng Mao. Kill him and continue going up. Kill Gao Sheng, Bo Zhang, and Cheng Yuanzhi. If You Failed to kill Zhang Liang, he will be throwing rocks at you right now. Defeat him. If you did beat him, he won't be there. You can either go west and attack all the officers there, or go north, then west which will lead you to two of Zhang Jiao's sub officers. Kill them, and march upward. If Zhang Bao or Zhang Liang weren't present, then he will throw flaming rocks at you. They hurt, but they're pretty easy to avoid. Go up, and kill Zhang Jiao. If all officers and sub officers are defeated, he will retreat. He's fairly hard to beat, but he's not powerful either. Beat him and you can go to act 2 - or can you? (Yeah you can.) ///////////////////////////////////// Act 2- The Alliance against Dong Zhuo ///////////////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Si Shui Gate (CC4) / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ** My Difficulty: * Your Team: Yuan Shao (with Zhang He) Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao and an officer, Sun Jian and an officer, and Liu Bei and an officer. Other Team: Li Jue (with Yang Feng and Li Meng) Hua Xiong (with Xu Zhen and Zhao Cen) Li Ru, Gao Shun, Niou Fu, Guo Si, Zhang Liao or Dong Min (as reinforcements) and Fan Chou (with Wang Fang). Objectives: Defeat Li Jue or have him retreat. Yuan Shao must survive. Yuan Shao: This is a just battle, to punish the traitors that ravage this land. All forces, march for Si Shui Gate. This battle is pretty simple to understand. What you will want to do is go left, towards Liu Bei, and kill Guo Si and Li Ru, rather than going down. Around where Li Ru is, there should be a short wall, about the character's height. Jump over it. (You'll have to leave the horse behind.) Continue running. Eventually, Yuan Shao will notice the road, and say that you can attack the supply depot. Go in the depot and attack Fan Chou and Wang Fang. Your character will make a remark about the supplies. Now you have two options. One is to exit the depot and continue south. The second is to go back and get your horse. I would prefer the first, since this is a small map. Go to the castle. Kill Hua Xiong and his officers. You can either enter the castle, or go to where Cao Cao is and kill all those officers. If you took long enough, then Zhang Liao or Dong Min will appear. If will kill them and Li Jue's officers, then he will retreat. To prevent this, go right after Li Jue and kill him. / / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Hu Lao Gate (CC5) / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Yuan Shao (with Yan Liang and Wen Chou), Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao and his officers, Sun Jian and his officers, and Liu Bei and his officers. Other Team: Dong Zhuo (with Niou Fu, Fan Chou, and Wang Fang) Diao Chan, Lu Bu, Li Ru (with Xu Rong), Zhang Liao/Dong Min (with Gao Shun), and Guo Si (with Li Meng) Objectives: Defeat Dong Zhuo or let him retreat. Yuan Shao must survive. Yuan Shao: We can always get provisions from Si Shui Gate. Do not hold back; punish these traitors to the Han! This battle looks easy right now, and the beginning is easy. Cao Cao starts at the bottom. He will head north and go to Hu Lao Gate. Li Ru will send an archer ambush on you, but it's no big deal. Kill them, and kill Li Ru and Xu Rong (his officer). You can go and kill the officers that Sun Jian and Liu Bei are fighting now. Eventually a ram will appear. Yuan Shao will tell you to protect it, but don't worry. It won't get destroyed. When Hu Lao Gate is destroyed, Lu Bu will charge out. The easy part is officially over. Lu Bu will challenge you to a duel. If you have a fresh or near-fresh character, don't duel! If you do, then run the whole time. You may actually be able to beat him outside of a duel, but that's unlikely as well. You can either attack him and forget everything I said, or skip him and fight Diao Chan. When you defeat her, Dong Zhuo will set fire to Luo Yang. At that point, go straight to Dong Zhuo and attack him. Trust me, if you don't, he'll retreat almost immediately. Kill him or let him retreat, and you won. /////////////////////////////////////// Wei Tales- Return of the Yellow Turbans (CC6) /////////////////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / Eliminate Zhang Jiao! / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and Xu Huang. Other Team: Zhang Jiao (with Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang) Zhang Lu, He Yi, and Bo Zhang. Objectives: Defeat Zhang Jiao. Cao Cao must survive. How to Unlock: Select Yellow Turban Rebellion first. Have Zhang Jiao retreat. This battle is more annoying than hard. The first thing you'll want to do is attack He Yi and Bo Zhang, who should be fairly close to you. Then, Zhang Lu will appear. Start killing his troops. Following him on a horse will help. Keep killing those troops while they walk. If you kill Zhang Lu, then he'll just warp to the front. Once you kill all his troops (if you do), then the real Zhang LU will appear. Kill him, and Zhang Jiao's spell won't work as well. You can kill him later, it's just a little harder. Kill Pei Yuan Shao and the Zhangs when you get to them. Eventually, a spell will happen where all your forces will turn against you. Cao Cao will be fine. Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang will be fine if you killed Zhang Lu. Anyway, destroy the magic stones if you want, then kill Zhang Jiao. ////////////////////////// Act 3- The Rise of Cao Cao ////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / Battle of Xia Pi (CC7) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: **.5 Your Team: Cao Cao (with possibly you) Liu Bei (with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei), and Xiahou Dun. Other Team: Lu Bu (with Chen Gong) Diao Chan, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Zang Ba, and Yuan Shu (as possible reinforcements). Objectives: Defeat Lu Bu or have him retreat. Cao Cao must survive. Cao Cao: The beast Lu Bu must die today! This battle isn't hard depending on the route you take. The first thing I'd do is kill Zang Ba, since he's probably closest. After that, I killed Zhang Liao, but you can kill him later if you want. After a certain amount of time, a carriage will appear. It says Lu Bu's daughter's on the cage, but I didn't see any daughter when I destroyed it. Besides, I don't think Lu Bu had a daughter in history or the novel. Anyway, the carriage is very hard to get. I you let it go, then Yuan Shu will come as reinforcements. Now's the fun part. Go after one of the three generals still outside (Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng) They will surrender, whether you kill them or they retreat. Do the same thing for a second one. If you want Lu Bu to retreat, then kill the third one, and go to Chen Gong. If you don't want to kill Lu Bu, leave the third one until after you kill Diao Chan. Lu Bu will be angry and won't retreat. Either way works for a strong character, and either way gives you the win. / / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Wan Castle (CC8) / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Cao Cao (with possibly you) Cao Ang, Cao An Min, and Dian Wei. Other Team: Zhang Xiu (with Zhao Cen), Hu Che Er with an officer, and Jia Xu. (with Hu Zhen). Objectives: Defeat Zhang Xiu and have Cao Cao escape. Zhang Xiu: Burn this castle. Do not let Cao Cao escape. Ignore Cao Cao for now. He can handle his own. Go help Cao Ang and Cao An Min with Jia Xu's officer. Then, defeat some more enemies, then go and kill Jia Xu, or go to Dian Wei to trigger a cutscene. Do whichever one you didn't do next. Now, do to the left and you'll see Zhang Xiu and Zhao Cen. Kill Zhao Cen and Zhang Xiu if you want too. Either way, he'll retreat. If you killed him, the game will say he retreated. Kill Hu Che Er's officer if you haven't done so. Now it gets hard. You have to take the long way to get to Hu Che Er because the short ways are blocked off. Dian Wei breaks through the exit of the long way so you can get to Hu Che Er. When you get to him, Zhang Xiu appears again. He's no more difficult then before. Kill him and Hu Che Er, then kill any enemies near Cao Cao so he can retreat. He will tell his forces to retreat, which signals victory. / / / / / / / / / Battle of Guan Du (CC9) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Cao Cao (with possibly you), Yu Jin (with Wei Xu, Wang Lang, and Song Xian), Man Chong, Guan Yu, Other Team: Yuan Shao (with Yuan Tan), Yuan Shang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yuan Xi (with Guo Tu and Han Meng) and Liu Bei (with Zhang Fei). Objectives: Defeat Yuan Shao. Cao Cao must survive. Cao Cao: Do not get Yuan Shao gain momentum. Defend Bai Ma and Yan Jin at all costs. This battle is actually easy. Don't worry about Yan Jin. It'll be fine. (Man Chong's stronghold) Bai Ma is another story. Within the first 30 seconds, Wei Xu and Song Xian will be routed by Yan Liang. After this happens, Guan Yu will charge out. He will go after Yan Liang's head. You can kill him (Yan Liang) if you want. He will then go after Wen Chou, who's fighting Man Chong. That's another easy fight. After Wen Chou dies, Yuan Shao will appear. He will say Cao Cao is a pebble in the road to him. Well, he's a pebble that apparently really hurts! By now, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Yuan Shang may have killed Yu Jin. At this point though, Guan Yu will go to Bai Ma to meet with Liu Bei. Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei will leave. Guan Yu caused too much damage anyway. By now all that's left is Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Liu Bei's leftover troops. Kill them, and go after Yuan Shang. Kill him, then go after Yuan Xi and kill him as well. If you skipped Xia Pi, then Lu Bu will appear. Go figure, the one time we want Guan Yu... Anyway, kill him, and Yuan Shao will retreat in fear. Or you could leave him alone and go after Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao. Either way works, although I'd rather kill Lu Bu so that half the army doesn't die while I'm killing Yuan Shao. Whether he retreats or died, you beat Act 3. /////////////////////////// Wei Tales- Guan Yu's Escape /////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / Guan Yu's Escape (CC10) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: * with a horse, **** without one.

The Carriage and Guan Yu must not make it to the Yellow River. How to Unlock: In Act I, select the Yellow Turban Rebellion First. In Act II, clear Si Shui and Hu Lao gate. This battle can be either a quick victory, or extremely hard. Xiahou Dun and you will begin chasing Guan Yu. After Guan Yu passes the first gate, Sun Qian will appear to hold you back. Either kill him, or juts keep going. After the second gate, more Shu forces will try to hold you back, and a fake carriage will appear. Destroy that quickly, and continue. By the third gate, you should catch up to Guan Yu. If you do, Liu Bei will appear and begin heading towards Guan Yu. If you attack Guan Yu, then you two will battle. Hw won't continue until you're dead or he's dead. Kill him and you're done. ////////////////////////////////// Wei Tales- The Yuan Family's Pride ////////////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Ji Province (CC11) / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Cao Cao, Other Team: Yuan Shang and his officers, Yuan Tan and his officers, Gao Gan, Yuan Xi, a fifth general, and Yuan Shao. Objectives: Defeat Yuan Shao. Cao Cao must survive. How to Unlock: In Act II, select Hu Lao Gate first. In Act III, pick Guan Du first and let Yuan Shao retreat. Wow, Yuan Shao must have nowhere to run if we're back to the Yellow Turban rebellion stage. You could start anywhere from the far left to the far right, so I'll try and get around that. The first thing to do is kill the three generals at the middle of the stage. Kill the one you're closest by, then Yuan Xi, and the one left. If you're in the middle, pick whichever way you want. Now, Cao Cao will say that we can convince one of the Yuans to join us. Kill their officers for now, then decide which Yuan. It doesn't matter which one pick. When you go by that Yuan, he will defect to your troops. Now, go kill the other Yuan. Now what? An annoyed Yuan Shao comes, and the Yuan that defected to your troops goes back to the other side. Since he's probably next to you, kill him. Now, go and kill some enemies, take over some strongholds, etc. Then go and kill Yuan Shao. This time he actually dies. ////////////////////////////// Act 4- The War against Liu Bei ////////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Bo Wan Po (CC12) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: ** to **** Your Team: Cao Cao (with possibly you), Xiahou Dun, Han Hao, Yue Jin, Yu Jin, and someone else. Other Team: Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Guan Ping. Objectives: Defeat Liu Bei. Cao Cao must survive. This can either be easy or hard depending on a few things. The first thing you should do is go with Xiahou Dun towards Zhao Yun. If he duels you and you win, then Guan Ping won't appear. If Xiahou Dun survives this, he will easily kill everyone else. After killing Zhao Yun, I'd go after Jian Yong. He's got no morale, so this should be easy. Eventually, Guan Yu will appear and start fighting Yue Jin (or Yu Jin, I forget which) You and Xiahou Dun could kill him easily. By this time though, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei will have retreated. If they didn't, go to their base. Now go to yours. Those two and Zhang Fei will appear. Now the fun begins. For some reason Liu Bei is very powerful despite having little morale, assuming he has any. Kill Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei first. Now kill Liu Bei. / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Chang Ban (CC13) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: ***.5 Your Team: Cao Cao (with Xiahou En and possibly you), Dian Wei, Sima Yi, Other Team: Liu Bei, Zhang Fei (with Zhou Cang), Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang (with Sun Qian), Ma Su, Mi Zhu, Liu Qi, and Guan Yu. Objectives: This battle could look easy or hard, and it's kinda both. It's easy because it's not hard to catch up with Liu Bei if you have a horse. It's hard because he runs like a madman at the start. There are two ways you can do doing this. First though, kill Zhou Cang, who's in front of the castle in the center. Here's one way you can take. Route #1-Now, to down the east side. You'll meet Zhang Fei at the bridge, and I forget who you meet before that. At this point, Liu Bei is right behind him. Kill Zhang Fei, and save and quit. The rest of this, you could win or lose on. Now, continue down, and attack Mi Zhu. Ma Su will appear, but if Mi Zhu is killed fast enough, then he's no worry. Keep going down until you get to the bottom. If the naval fleet's down there, kill them. They were probably around MA Su and Mi Zhu though, and you probably killed them on your way down. Seal the strongholds, and Liu Bei will start coming down. Attack him and he'll start attacking you. Kill him. Route #2- Go into the castle. The gates will close, but they'll open when you kill Zhuge Liang and Sun Qian. When they're dead, the gates will open. Kill Mi Zhu and the naval fleet if they're attacking you, then go to the bottom and kill Liu Bei when he comes. / / / / / / / / / Battle of Chi Bi (CC14) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: *** Your Team: Cao Cao (with possibly you and some other people), Man Chong (with Xun You?), Cao Pi and his officers, Cao Hong, Yue Jin, Other Team: Sun Jian and his officers, Zhou Yu and his officers, Gan Ning (with Han Dang), Lu Meng, Cheng Pu and an officer, Zhuge Liang (with Pang Tong), Huang Gai, Zhao Yun, and Ling Tong? (with Zhuge Jin?) Objectives: Defeat Sun Jian. Cao Cao must survive. Cao Cao: It is I who shall win this battle, and rule over the land. This battle will either be easy or hard. It'll be easy if you stop the fire attack, hard if you don't. The first thing you'll want to do is go to where Pang Tong is. He'll say that his plan didn't work. You can kill him if you want, but he'll just retreat behind a gate if you don't. The next step is to kill Zhuge Liang. If you beat Chang Ban, then he won't have a lot of troops. If you beat him at Bo Wan Po, then he'll be much weaker. (Three hits will kill him.) Kill Zhao Yun and Sun Jian's officer that's there. Then kill Zhuge Liang. He is very easy to beat. Next is Huang Gai. His ship will be coming. Here's how to prevent him from doing the fire attack immediately on arrival. Go to you history, and look where the boat's destination is. Go there. There should be a little ramp that leads nowhere. Go on it. Now wait. Or you can kill a couple people while you wait. When he comes, he will say to begin the fire attack, but he won't actually. Kill Huang Gai, and he will be very upset, and for good reason. You just stopped the fire attack! You go and kill Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Chang Pu, Zhou Yu, etc. now. Then kill Sun Jian. For some reason, he's extremely bent in killing you. I think I know why. Anyway, kill him and you're done. Not you'll play the fall of Wu. Wanted the fall of Shu first to unlock Jian Ye? Then retry this and ignore Huang Gai. /////////////////////////////// Wei Tales- The Stalwart Ma Chao /////////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Tong Gate (CC15) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Cao Cao (with Jia Xu, Xu Zhu, and possibly you), Xu Huang (with Yu Jin), Cao Ren, and 2 random.

How to Unlock: Skip Chang Ban. The first thing you should do is start going down. The first person you'll come across is Cheng Yi. Kill him, then continue down. Wei Yan, Meng De, Pang De, and Ma Dai will all start going after you. Kill all of them, then go back up to your base. Use the bridge that Xu Huang laid out and go down the left branch. Kill Cheng Yin, Then go down to Han Sui. Kill his officers, and he will defect if his morale is zero. You can either do that, or kill him. (I always accidentally kill him because he's so aggressive.) Anyway, after that, go after Ma Chao. He'll make a few remarks, then kill him. Cao Cao will mention that Ma Chao is a tiger of a man, and you'll win. ////////////////////////// Wei Tales- Lu Bu's Revenge ////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / Lu Bu's Offensive (CC16) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Cao Cao (with Xun Yu and possibly you), Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, and a random one.

The first thing you should do in this battle is kill Gao Shun and Diao Chan to get them out of the way. Then Lu Bu will be the only one left. Go toward the south gate and wait for Xiahou Dun to escape. When he does, hit the gong. Then go to the west gate and wait for Cao Cao to escape. Hit the gong when he escapes. Then, go to the north gate. When Zhang Liao escapes, hit the gong and run out. All the gates will be shut, and Lu Bu will be stuck inside there. The castle will be then set on fire. If Lu Bu escapes the castle, then I'm not sure what happens. The game just ended for me when the fire attack failed. Anyway, Lu Bu will be the only guy left after the attack. Kill him, because that's what happened in history. ////////////////////// Act 5a- The Fall of Wu ////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / Siege of Fan Castle (CC17) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: **** Your Team: Cao Ren (with Man Chong), Sima Yi, Xu Zhu, Zhen Ji, and Xiahou Yuan. Other Team: Sun Quan (with Cheng Pu), Lu Meng (with Jiang Qin), Lu Xun (with Ding Feng), Sun Shang Xiang (with Ling Tong), Zhou Tai (with Xu Sheng), and Taishi Ci (with Zhu Ran) Objectives: Defeat Sun Quan. Cao Ren must survive. Since it's nearly impossible to destroy the siege ramps that come, I'll write this guide assuming you don't have to destroy them. Start by going up and attacking Taishi Ci and Zhu Ran. Kill them. There should be a siege ramp nearby. Destroy that. Then, go down to where Zhou Tai is. Kill him and his officer. By now, a siege ramp is probably already set up. There will also be catapults. You can destroy them, but you don't have to. Go up and kill some people here. By now, Lu Meng will charge out from his hiding place to attack the castle. Kill him, since he goes right past you. Lu Xun will go into the castle. Go and kill Sun Shang Xiang and her officer first, then their catapult. Go into the castle and kill Lu Xun, and anyone else that snuck in, like Cheng Pu. He's probably over with Sun Quan though. Go towards Sun Quan now and kill him. Again, this battle is actually EASIER if you don't worry about the siege ramps. / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Shi Ting (CC18) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: ***** Your Team: Sima Yi (with Xin Pi and possibly you), Cao Xiu (with Zhang Pu), Jia Kui (with Hu Zhi), and a random person.

The first thing that will happen is that Zhou Fang will join your forces for the time being. Then, Cao Xiu and Zhou Fang will go up toward the base. Go up the left side and kill Ding Feng. Then the plot will be uncovered. If you go up the right side and left the ambush take place, then kill Quan Zong and Zhu Huan, then go up and help out Cao Xiu. Kill Zhou Fang, Ding Feng, and anyone else. Go in the castle and defeat Huang Gai. By now, Lu Xun probably asked everyone to attack. Kill any ambushes that might have taken place, then go and kill Zhuge Jin, and then Lu Xun. / / / / / / / / / Battle of He Fei (CC19) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: ****** Your Team: Cao Cao (with Xun You), Sima Yi (with Cao Pi and Cao Hong), Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao (with Yue Jin), and Li Dian. Other Team: Sun Jian (with Han Dang, Ling Tong, and Jiang Qin), Lu Su (with Ding Feng), Cheng Pu, Zhu Ran (with Dong Xi), Pan Zhang (with Xu Sheng), Lu Xun, Gan Ning, and Taishi Ci. Objectives: Defeat Sun Jian. Cao Cao must survive. I'm going to have two guides for this one: 1 for the left side and one for the right. If you're Sima Yi, pick either. GUIDE 1- RIGHT SIDE- If you're starting on the right side then you probably have it harder. First, go down and kill Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng. Also seal the stronghold that's over there. Now, continue going down. Kill all the troops that Lu Su sends you as well as Ding Feng. Continue plowing through the troops, which may take a while. Around the same time that you'll probably kill Lu Su, Gan Ning will appear in the lower right section of the map. He'll go upward. Go after him. Sun Jian will most likely follow you, but ignore him. Well, if you want to end this quickly, you can kill him, but I wouldn't recommend it. (For example, Taishi Ci gives you an attack +4.) Anyway, kill Gan Ning, then go to the center. Kill all those troops over there, as well as Zhu Ran, Dong Xi, and Taishi Ci. By now, Xiahou Dun's probably dead, and Cao Pi's probably in bad shape. Go to the left side of the map, go up, and kill Lu Xun and Cheng Pu, wherever they are right now, all that's left is Sun Jian and possibly 500 troops. Kill any enemies left, as it's easy to get 1000 kills on this stage. Kill Sun Jian to put an end to this map. GUIDE 2- LEFT SIDE- I've never went the left side, but it seems easier. If you have a detailed guide for this, then see the bottom of the FAQ. /////////////////////// Act 5b- The Fall of Shu /////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Mt.

You can either follow Chen Shi through the gate, which will close quickly, or you can stay on your side. I'll have 2 guides depending which way you want to go. GUIDE 1- GOING THROUGH THE GATE- If you chose to go through the gate, then you'll be isolated by yourself in the Shu camp. Kill all the annoying archers, then Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang will start attacking you. Kill them. By now, Mt. Ding Jun probably fell. Now that you can get back to your camp, go to Mt. Ding Jun and help your allies out. Kill Yan Yan. Around now, Cao Cao will appear. The only difference that made is that you don't have to be so protective of Xiahou Yuan now. Kill Huang Zhong and you're good. Kill Zhao Yun when he appears, kill some people, then kill Liu Bei. GUIDE 2- STAYING ON YOUR SIDE- If you choose not to pursue Chen Shi, then he'll go back to base. Go to Mt. Ding Jun (upper right corner) and wait for Huang Zhong. When Huang Zhong and Yan Yan come, kill them. Then, it's simply a matter of killing everyone else. / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Jie Ting (CC21) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: *** Your Team: Sima Yi (Sima Zhao and possibly you), Cao Zhen, Zhang He, and random. Other Team: Ma Su (with Wang Ping, Gao Xiang, and Liao Hua) and Zhuge Liang (with Yue Ying) Objectives: Defeat Zhuge Liang. Sima Yi must survive. This is a very simple battle that requires little strategy. You'll either start at the top, middle or bottom. There are 3 branched that lead to Ma Su, the top, middle, and bottom ones. If you're at the top, then go and kill Wang Ping. Then go to the middle and kill Gao Xiang, than go to the bottom and kill Liao Hua. If you're at the middle, then kill Gao Xiang, then go either way. If you're at the bottom, do the opposite of the top. If you do this in under 5 minutes, then Zhuge Liang will appear. If you do this in more than 5 minutes, than Zhuge Liang will appear at the 5-minute mark. Either way, kill Ma Su, who's running away from you. now go to the bottom of the map and kill Zhuge Liang and Yue Ying. Never said it was a big map. / / / / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Wu Zhang Plains (CC22) / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: ****** Your Team: Sima Yi (with possibly you), Cao Zhen (with Xin Pi), Cao Zhang (with Xiahou Ba), Xu Huang (with Sima Zhao and Xiahou Wei), and Xiahou Yuan (with Xiahou Hui and Xiahou He), Other Team: Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang (with Zhang Bao and Yue Ying), Liao Hua, Ma Chao (with Guan Xing), Wei Yan (with Zhang Yi), Ma Su, Ma Dai (with Gao Xiang), Jiang Wei, and Zhao Yun. Objectives: Defeat Liu Bei. Sima Yi must survive. This battle is another one of those that has a lot of action put into it. This one of my favorite battle, but it's one of the harder ones too. Start by killing whoever's in front of you. It will either be Wei Yan's troops, or Ma Chao's troops. If you're in the center, pick a route. Continue down, and go to where Jiang Wei is. Kill his troops. You can kill the arbalests first if they're bothering you. Now Zhuge Liang will die. Wow, that was easy. You didn't believe me, did you? Keep killing some people. Kill Ma Dai, then Ma Su, who will ambush Sima Yi's troops. Go up and kill Ma Chao too. By now, Sima Yi will come face to face with Zhuge Liang. If you believed me that he died, then you were wrong. He brings in Yue Ying too. Go down the left side and kill Zhao Yun. If you didn't kill Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Wei Yan like I said, then they'll be charging through your troops almost as fast as Guan Yu at Guan Du. Anyway, continue going down until you reach Liao Hua at the supply depot. Kill him. When you kill him, your character will proclaim victory, or something similar. Kill Yue Ying and Zhang Bao. Then go and kill Zhuge Liang and put an end to this. I forgot to mention that Liu Bei appeared too. Kill him, and he'll either die or retreat to Cheng Du. /////////////////////////// Wei Tales- Dong Zhuo Lives! /////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / Dong Zhuo in Ji (CC23) / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ***** My Difficulty: ****.5 Your Team: Cao Cao and 3 random.

This is one of those battles where it's you (and a couple others) against the world. First, it'll be Dong Min and Zhang Ji. Dong Min won't move, so don't worry about him. Kill Zhang Ji, and Zhao Cen and Wang Fang will come. Go down and kill Zhao Cen, then go to your base and kill Wang Fang. After that, Guo Si and Fan Chou will appear. They'll go straight to your base, so you might as well stay there. When they get to your base, kill them. After that, Li Jue and Li Meng will appear and head straight for your base. Kill them, and Dong Zhuo's officers will appear, but Dong Zhuo won't. Kill Dong Min to have Dong Zhuo and Li Ru appear. Niou Fu will be in your base, Hu Zhen will be under Dong Min, and Hu Zhen will be on the right side. Li Ru will go straight to your base as well. Kill him, then go up and kill Dong Zhuo.

Objectives: Defeat Liu Bei. Cao Cao must survive. This battle is hard if you don't help out. First, you'll either be by Wang Ping or another officer. Kill them. Then, Yue Ying and Zhuge Liang will start yelling at Wei Yan. Don't approach Wei Yan yet. Kill Zhang Bao when he appears. Then go back to the castle, kill the Guans and Ma Su. Make sure you try to avoid the arbalests, which are on the top of the castle. After you kill Ma Su, Sima Yi will persuade Wei Yan to join Wei. He will. Go down and attack Yue Ying. Kill her juggernauts if you want, but I would just go and kill her officer, then kill her. A secret route will have been found. A secret route with mines. Anyway, go back to the castle because Ma Chao is there. I would start going through the forest after killing him, despite the countless ambushes and the several officers that appear. When you get near the end, Guan Yu will appear. Kill him. Now, go down and kill Jiang Wei. Then go and kill Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei probably appeared a while ago. Now you can try and kill him. Also, a peasant militia will appear when the gates open. Take over the stronghold to stop the flow, then you can have fun killing all the peasants. You can actually crush them in one blow! Anyway, kill Liu Bei whenever you want to clear Wei's musou mode. You have unlocked Lu Bu's musou mode and Yuan Shao's musou mode if you haven't done so. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Wei vs. Wu Final Stage- Battle of Jian Ye (CC25) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: ****** (2nd hardest stage) Your Team: Cao Cao (with possibly you), Random (with Cao Zhang), Zhang Liao and two officers, and Cao Pi and two officers.

Cao Cao must survive. This battle is easily the most annoying one in the game, simply because of all the enemies. That makes it a good place to get experience, but also a good place to get a headache. It doesn't look hard at first. Just go and kill Jiang Qin and the troops around him. Now go and kill Huang Gai and the troops around him. Now the fun begins! Sun Jian will be spotted in the left, center, and right areas of the map. GO and kill the one in the center, and Zhuge Jin will appear. With another fake Sun Jian. Well, Cao Cao can probably handle it for a little while. If you go into Sun Jian's base, then the Sun Kids start attacking. Before this, I'd go and kill Zhuge Jin and Fake Sun Jian #4. The Suns probably already started attacking. Try to ignore Sun Ce as you go past him. Kill Sun Jian and put him out of your misery once and for all! Finally, it's over. Unfortunately, no it's not. By now, the only person left is probably Cao Cao. They may start going after you rather than Cao Cao though. Kill all the officers, since for some reason, they went in the center. Kill Sun Ce. You probably guessed that Sun Quan's next. For some reason he's the only non-aggressive one towards you. Use that reason to kill Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, and fake Sun Jians # 2 and 3 if you haven't done so. Now, you can either kill Sun Quan, or you can kill hordes of regular enemies. Either way, if Cao Cao's got a bunch of red around him on the map, go to him. Kill Sun Quan, and we're done. Of course not, we still have SSX. She's very aggressive, so you probably took some of her health off when you were hurting Sun Ce. Kill her and the nightmare if over. Hey, you got a lot of good stuff out of this, so don't complain. And if you did this musou mode first, then you just got Lu Bu's and Yuan Shao's musou modes. *********************** * 8-2.

If you take your time killing everyone, then Yan Zheng will appear at the north gate. Kill him, then go north and beat Zhang Man Cheng. Zhang Liang will then activate his geysers.

How To Unlock: Do not discover the supply depot at Si Shui Gate. When Yuan Shao asks who can defeat Hua Xiong, defeat him. At Hu Lao Gate, kill Lu Bu and Diao Chan, but let Dong Zhuo escape. Guan Yu is bored of Wei. He wants to be with his brothers again. You have to help him escape. Start going down until you reach Kong Xiu. Kill him and his troops will vanish. Yes, this is one of those stages where killing the officer is the right thing to do. Continue past the first gate and kill Han Fu when you get to him. Continue going west and kill Bian Xi when you get to him. Go northwest past the third gate and Xiahou Dun will appear on the other side of the map. Kill Hu Ban. Continue and an ambush will occur. Kill all the enemies and Wang Zhi will appear. Kill him, although you don't need to. Go down and kill Qin Qi. Go past the 5th gate and go to the river. If you want, you can stop and kill Xiahou Dun, but you have to make it quick. I don't know why. Anyway, when you reach the river, you win.

Choose Hu Lao Gate first. Kill Dong Zhuo, but leave Lu Bu alive. The first thing that happens is Li Dian appearing. Kill him since you're right there. After about a minute, Zhao Yun will appear. If you do to him there will be a cutscene. When you go into the castle, Zhang Fei will say something. Anyway, Xiahou Yuan will appear at the other side. Kill him. Now go back and kill Yu Jin. Around now, Guan Yu should show up. Kill Xu Zhu, and Xiahou Dun will appear. Go and kill Zhang he, then kill Xiahou Dun, who's at the gate. Go up and kill Yue Jin, then all that's left is Cao Cao.

This battle is one of the few battles where you should be more strategic than brutal. (boo!) First, go to Xiahou Dun. Zhuge Liang will tell you to lure him to the fire attack site, which is the center of the three roads leading from your base. Lead him there, and Liu Feng will appear. Xiahou Dun will be the only one there, so killing him is easy. Next, bring Han Hao to the north road out of the three, and Guan Ping will ambush him. Kill him. Now, lead Yu Jin to Guan Yu's ambush. If you don't, then Guan Yu will still appear. He just won't listen. If all three of these tactics work, then Zhang Fei will burn down the supply depot. If any of them failed, then Zhang Fei won't. Anyway, kill all the stray generals, then kill Cao Cao. They have awful morale, so killing them is a cinch. / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Chang Ban (LB10) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Liu Bei (with possibly you), Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Sun Qian.

Objectives: Have Liu Bei escape or defeat Cao Cao. Liu Bei must survive. There are 2 different strategies in this one. You can either take the left route or the right route. The left one has a couple more officers. ROUTE 1- LEFT SIDE: If you're going left, then start by killing Xiahou De and Xiahou En. Then, start going down. Cao Ren and Cao Cao will appear eventually, and Cao Ren wil be right above you. Pursue him, and kill him and his officer. Next, go right and kill Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao's officers. Now, go back left and start going down. Kill Jia Xu and Xiahou Yuan when you get to them. Continue going down. Kill Xu Huang and Jia Kui. By now, a naval fleet will appear. I'm not sure why, but after killing all these people, Liu Bei will just stay there. Go up and kill Yu Jin and Yue Jin. You can go in the castle if you want and kil Zhu Ling, but you don't have to. Anyway, continue going up the right side. Kill Zhang He and anyone else that may still be there, as well as Cao Cao. ROUTE 2- RIGHT SIDE: If you're going left, then start by killing Xiahou Dun. Now, go down and kill Zhang He. Cao Cao and Cao Ren will appear. you can either go and kill Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and all their officers on the other side, or you can at least kill the officers closest to you, and you can continue. Go down and kill Yu Jin. The naval fleet will show up. By now though, Liu Bei will just escape, so go and kill some people now. / / / / / / / / / Battle of Chi Bi (LB11) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: ***.5 Your Team: Sun Jian (with Lu Su and probably you), Cheng Pu (with Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin), Zhou Yu (with Jiang Qin and Zhu Huan), Ling Tong, Han Dang (with Dong Xiu), Pan Zhang (with Xu Sheng), Huang Gai, and Zhuge Liang (with Pang Tong). Other Team: Cao Cao (with Jia Xu and Cheng Yu), Xu Zhu (with Man Chong), Zhen Ji, Cao Ren (with Xun You), Cao Hong, Yu Jin (with Xun Yu), Cai Mao, Cao Pi (with Xu Zhu and Zhu Ling), and Li Dian. Objectives: Defeat Cao Cao. Sun Jian must survive. This is the battle that will determine which force you fight in act 5, and which you'll fight in the final act. Anyway, start by going to Pang Tong's location. He tells you to kill Xu Shu, who's right there. Kill him. The ships should he stable now. Now go down to where Zhuge Liang is. Help him out. Kill all the troops and generals that are around him. How, go back and kill a few officers. I would kill Cao Ren since he's closest to Sun Jian. Eventually, Huang Gai will appear and begin the fire attack. Zhen Ji will go right after him. Kill her. Now, go and kill some officers. I'd kill Yu Jin since he's closest, then go and kill Cao Hong. Go aroung Cao Cao and kill his officers, go to Xu Zhu and kill him. By now, at least one of the forces has started advancing. Anyway, kill Cao Pi and his officers, then go back and kill Cao Cao. You'll get the fall of Wei if this happens. If you want the fall of Wu, then don't do anything when Huang Gai appears. ///////////////////////// Act 4- The Three Kingdoms ///////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Luo Castle (LB12) / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: ***.5 Your Team: Liu Bei (with Ma Liang, possibly you, and Guan Ping), Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and 2 random generals. Other Team: Liu Zhang (with Liu Xun), Liu Han, Zhang Yi, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian. Objectives: Defeat Liu Zhang. Liu Bei must survive. In this battle, there are two main things that you need to worry about. The first is to make sure guys aren't ambushing the camp, like they do in the other 2 stages in this act. The other thing to check on is Pang Tong. He plays a big role this act, but he won't play it if he dies in the ambush. Start by going west. Take the route right below the one Pang Tong's taking. When he's ambushed go right down his route and kill all those archers and troops. Next, kill Liu Han. Then go kill Zhang Yi. Next, go down and kill Yan Yan. Zhuge Liang will then appear as reinforcements. Pang Tong will tell you to capture Zhang Ren. How do you do this? First, lure Zhang Ren to Pang Tong. Zhang Ren will follow him across the bridge. You have to destroy the bridge. Then, you can kill Zhang Ren and Leng Bao. Yang Huai and Gao Pei will appear and head straight for camp. Go right and kill Deng Xian. Then, go in the base and kill those guys. All that's left is Liu Zhang and Liu Xun. Kill them. / / / / / / / / / Campaign for Jing (LB13) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: *** Your Team: Zhuge Liang (with Ma Liang and possibly you), Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and possibly Pang Tong. Other Team: Han Xuan (with Yang Ling), Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Liu Du (with Liu Xian), Jin Xuan (with Gong Zhi), Zhao Fan (with Chen Ying and Bao Long) and Xing Daorong. Objectives: Occupy all four castles. Zhuge Liang must survive. In this stage, you more or less kill just about everyone. First, Xing Daorong will ambush you. Kill him. next, go to the first castle where Liu Du and his officer will be. Kill them. Now, you can either go to Zhao Fan and his officers, or you can go to Jin Xuan and his officer. I would go to Zhao Fan first. If you defeat his officers, he will retrea. So don't kill both if you want to kill him. After that, reinforcements will attack the main camp. Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan are pretty easy in this stage. Kill them, and continue. Next, go to Jin Xuan. He'll challenge you to a duel. If you want to kill his officer, then refuse it. Either way, kill him and continue. Guan Yu and Pang Tong (possibly) will have arrived by now. One arrives after Jin Xuan, the other after Zhao Fan. Anyway, continue. When you get to Han Xuan's officer, kill him. Now, you can either kill Huang Zhong or spare him. If you kill him, there will be a cutscene where Wei Yan kills Han Xuan and those two join you. If you spare him, then you can kill Han Xuan. Either way results in a victory. / / / / / / / / / / / Campaign for Cheng Du (LB14) / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: **** Your Team: Liu Bei (with Liu Feng and possibly you), Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, possibly Pang Tong, Guan Ping, and 2 random officers.

Objectives: Defeat Liu Zhang or have him surrender (that's how you get the 4th ending). Liu Bei must survive. If you're not interested in getting Liu Zhang to surrender, or you want to kill him, then just go around killing everyone, or go to Liu Xun first. If you want to get him to surrender, then use this guide. Start by waiting for a second. Zhuge Liang will tell you to lure Li Yan to an ambush. Do that, and do not accept the duel. When you kill him after Guan Ping appears, a message will pop up saying Li Yan was captured. Now, go down to the bottom route. Go that way and kill Leng Bao and Dong Xian. Now, continue on that path. Eventually you'll get to Zhang Yi and Liu Han. Kill them. Now,go back up to where you were when you captured Li Yan. Now go up and kill Lei Tong and Fei Guan. Now, go back down to the ambush site and go left. Kill Wu Lan and continue. Continue going until you see Yan Yan. Kill him too. Liu Zhang should be considering surrender now, which means a message should pop up saying that. Now, make sure that all the generals and officers except for Liu Xun are defeated. Now, go to him. A bunch of reinforcements will appear. You can kill Liu Xun now. Now, go back to the base and kill Yang Huai and Ma Dai. Now, go down to the southeast and kill Gao Pei. Now, make sure everyone's dead except for Ma Chao/Pang De. Now you can kill him. Liu Zhang should now surrender. If he appeared, then he won't surrender, but you can still kill him anyway, you just won't get the fourth ending. ////////////////////////////// Shu Tales- The Fury of Ma Chao ////////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Tong Gate (LB15) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: *** Your Team: Ma Chao (with Ma Dai and Pang De), Cheng Yi, Cheng Yin, Han Sui (with Li Kan, Yang Qiu, and Hou Xuan), and possibly Zhang Fei and Pang Tong.

How to Unlock: Choose Campaign for Cheng Du first. Defeat Pang De/Ma Chao when he arrives as reinforcements. Goody, one of those stages where somebody might defect. Well, start by going right. Kill Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Zhu Ling when you et to them. At some point, Han Sui will met will Cao Cao, and Han Sui will consider defecting. Now, go up and kill Dian Wei. Then, go up and kill Cao Ren. Around this time, an ice fortress will appear that wasn't there before. Anyway, go up and kill Xu Zhu and Jia Xu. There will be a cutscene where there's a ton of horses. This will be how you get the shadow harness. Around now, Han Sui will make his decision. Whether he defects or not, skip Cao Cao and go back to your base. Kill Xu Huang and Yu Jin, as well as Han Sui and his officers if he defected. Now, go back up and kill Cao Cao. at some point, reinforcements may appear. It'll be Pang Tong and Zhang Fei. Cao Cao will make a remark about Pang Tong. Anyway, kill Cao Cao. ////////////////////// Act 5a- The Fall of Wu ////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / Battle of Fan Castle (LB16) / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: ****.5 to ****** Your Team: Guan Yu (with you), Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Mi Fang, and Fu Shi Ren. Other Team: Cao Ren, Pang De, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Jiang Qin, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Zhou Tai. Objectives: Defeat all Wei officers. Guan Yu must survive. There are two ways to do this stage. One is really fast, and one gets you a lot of KO's. Take your pick. STRATEGY 1- FAST: Start by kiling the guard captain in front of the castle. Then, go in and kill Pang De, Yu Jin, and Cao Ren. No reinforcements for 5 minutes makes this easy. STRATEGY 2- KO STRATEGY: Start by killing the guard captain. Then kill Pang De and Yu Jin. around now, Mi Fang and Fu Shi Ren will defect. In the other strategy, you ignored it. In this one, start attacking all the troops that appear. Eventually, Jiang Win will appear. Go kil him and his trops. Eventually Lu Xun, Lu Meng, and Zhou Tai will appear as well. Stay by Guan Yu and keep killing all the troops that come toward him. Xu Huang will also appear, but he'll just stay in one spot. Eventually, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Zhou Tai will charge in with the rest of the troops. Kill them. Then go and kill Mi fang and Fu Shi Ren. You don't have to worry about Guan Yu now. He's with a bunch of privates without an officer. He could probably get 50/100 kills staying there. Anyway, go and kill Hu Huang, then go in the castle and kill Cao Ren. / / / / / / / / / / The Nanman Campaign (LB17) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: ******+ (hardest stage) Your Team: Zhuge Liang (with random, Guan Suo, and probably you), Ma Dai (with Ma Su and Lu Kai), and a random officer (with Wang Ping and Zhang Yi).

Objectives: Defeat Meng Huo. Zhuge Liang must survive. This stage is so annoying. You'll literally need to kill every enemy that you come in contact with. And their morale rises repeatedly. And your morale falls repeatedly. Anyway, start be going after Yong Kai. Kill his officers and him. If you killed Yong Kai and his officers fairly quikly (under 3 minutes), then Dong Tu Ne and Ahui Nan will surrender and join your forces. Now, kill Meng Huo. How was that hard? Well, he's not dead yet. Now, do to the other side and kill Jinhuan Sanjie. Meng Huo will appear. Kill him a second time. now go to where Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne are. Start helping them out by killing everyone, which you should've been doing. (I'm only trying to help you here.) Meng Huo will appear. I forgot to mention that you have to kill him SEVEN times! Not all seven, but you should so his morale goes down. Kill Meng You while you're at it. Now, go to the area above Zhu Rong, which is next to you. Go up a little bit and Meng Huo will appear again. Kill him a fourth time. Also kill Meng You and Mang Yachang. Having fun yet? Anyway, kill all these guys, since you're going to want to get as many KO's as possible. (This is one of the best stages to get 1000+ KO's in.) Start going down toward Zhu Rong. There will be an elephant cutscene, and Zhu Rong will ask you to duel. You must say yes if you want to unlock her. Now, go back up and go toward King Duosi. Meng Huo will appear. Again. Go to him and kill him. Again. Go down and kill King Duosi now. You can take care of Wu Tugu later. Go to where Kign Mulu is and Meng Huo will appear. Kill Meng Huo and Ming Mulu. You can either do into the castle and kill him one last time, or you can go kill Wu Tugu first. Go back around to Wu Tugu. Zhuge Liang will have an idea. Wait a few minutes. You can either kill Wu Tugu now, or you can wait for the fire attack, which will wipe out Wu Tugu's forces. (Notice how everything's weak against fire?) Anyway, you can now go into the castle and kill Dailai Dongzhu and Meng Huo. Meng Huo will FINALLY give up, and that will spend the end of that nightmare. Or will it? Yeah it will, I just wanted to see your expression. / / / / / / / / / Battle of Yi Ling (LB18) / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: *****.5 Your Team: Liu Bei (with Wu Lan, possibly you, and Lei Tong), Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun (with Zhang Bao), Yan Yan, Guan Xing (with Guan Suo), Ma Liang (with Wang Ping), Ma Dai, Meng Huo (possible reinforcements), and a random general.

Zhuge Liang will tell you to tighten security around the watchtowers. If you don't, then there will be a fire attack. Reinforcements will then arrive. Go back and kill Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Zhou Tai. Now, go back and kill Ling Tong and Han Dang. If you beat Meng Huo on the Nanman Campaign, then he will appear as reinforcements. Either way, continue up. When you cross the bridge, then Zhuge Liang will appear as reinforcements and create a waterway. Now your other troops can fight too. Big deal, you can handle the rest.

How to Unlock: Skip Bo Wan Po in Act 3. At Chi Bi, make sure that the fire attack is not successful. This is the stage where you can unlock Jiang Wei. If you don't care about strategy, then just kill people, since these enemies aren't that hard. Anyway, Zhuge Liang will tell you not to hurt Jiang Wei, because we can get him to join us. Well, start by killing Xiahous Mao and De, as well as Wang Lang. Ma Zun will get suspicious about Jiang Wei. his castle will open. Kill his troops and his officers, but don't touch him! Even if he challenges you to a duel. After you kill his officers, Ma Zun will get fed up and call Jiang Wei a traitor. (Take a chill pill Ma Zun, maybe we want to kill his troops before we lower his morale?) Zhuge Liang will then go toward Jiang Wei. There will be a cutscene, and Jiang Wei will join your forces. Jiang Wei will go to the other castle and ask Liang Xui and Yin Shang to betray Ma Zun. After the way he was acting, I'd betray him too. Anyway, now all that's left is to kill Ma Zun.

There are two strategies for this stage. One is easy, the other is very hard, and should onl be done as a challenge. The hard one is where do go through the Wei gates when they close. You'll be ambushed by Zhang He and about 100 archers. Here's the easy one. Whether you kill Xiahou Shang or not is up to you. Go the way that Huang Zhong's going. Kill Xiahou De, and Mt.

After a short while, he'll block off the south entrance to Jie Ting, so you can't get to Ma Su. Kill Zhang He, and go to the center. Kill Jia Kui and Xu Huang, then go in the gate. Go up the north gate from Ma Su's camp, and kill Sima Zhao and Xiahou Yuan. Zhuge Liang will say that Ma Su should be fine. He didn't do anything anyway. Anyway, go right into Sima Yi's base.

Objectives: Defeat Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang must survive. It won't matter whether you start on the left or the right side for this battle, because you'll keep going back and forth. Besides, you'll probably start on the right side, so I'll say that's how you start. First, start by killing Xiahou Wei and Cao Pi. Continue going up. There will be a cutscene where you call Sima Yi a coward. Anyway, kill Sima Zhao, then kill Zhen Ji. Around now, Zhuge Liang will die. Game Over. Come on, you know he's faking it. Go back to base, and kill some people there. When you attack Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun will appear as reinforcements. Soon after, Sima Yi will charge out, and realize that Zhuge Liang faked his death. Everyone will retreat. Then, everyone will charge again, because Cao Cao appears with ambushes near your camp. Kill Xiahou Dun, then kill Xiahou Yuan and his officers when he comes back. Now go to your base, and kill Cao Zhen and Cao Zhang. Also kill Zhang He, Cao Hong, Xiahou Ba, and Sima Yi's officers when they show up. Now, assuming you're still alive, and assuming that Zhuge Liang didn't die, you can go up to their base and kill Sima Yi and Cao Cao.

Oh goody, one of those battle where you have to run back and forth because your forces suck. Anyway, the first person to charge down will be Xu Rong. He'll be going after the west fortress. Kill him in a duel or just kill him, then go to the east and kill Niou Fu. You can duel him too, but he's a guarding maniac. I stood there for 10 seconds to see if he would stop guarding, and he didn't. Zhao Cen will come from the west, and Wang Fang from the east. Kill Wang Fang when he comes (in a duel if you want), then go and kill Zhao Cen. Now Ma Chao ad Yue Ying will appear (soon if they haven't yet). Anyway, go back east and wait for Li Jue. Kill him.

Now, go kill Sima Zhao and Sima Yi. An ambuch party will appear at the base. Again. Go back to the base. Again. And don't be surprised if Guan Xing dies. Go to the South Gate of Xu Chang by now. There should be another ambush. Well, at least Pang De has normal morale, so you can kill him fairly easily. Kill Pang De and Xin Pi, then go up. Kill Dian Wei, than kill Jia Xu. Now, all that's left is Cao Cao. Go kill some people if you feel like it, then kill Cao Cao, and you've beaten Shu Musou Mode. You'll get Lu Bu's musou mode if you haven't gotten it yet. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Shu vs. Wu Final Stage- Battle of Jian Ye (LB25) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ****** My Difficulty: ****** (2nd hardest stage) Your Team: Liu Bei (with Liao Hua and possibly you) Ma Dai, Pang Tong (with Zhang Bao) and another general with an officer.

Liu Bei must survive. Liu Bei: Wu must fall, so that I may rule the land in peace! This is the same thing as in Cao Cao's musou mode, except your guys are completely different. Press Ctrl + F and type CC25. Anyway, you've now beaten Shu's musou mode. You now have Lu Bu's musou mode if you don't have it already. ********************** * 8-3.

Other Team: Zhang Liang (with Han Xian) Zhang Man Cheng, Deng Mao, Gao Sheng, Liu Pi, Guan Hai, Huang Shao, He Yi (ambush) and Yan Zheng (ambush) Objectives: Defeat Zhang Liang. Huangfu Song must survive. This battle is pretty straightforward. The Wu forces will attack the west enemies. This means you'll be attacking Guan Hai first. Attack the enemies around him and defeat him. After this, go up toward Liu Pi and kill him. Now, you can either go up and around toward Huang Shao, or you can go down and attack Gao Sheng. (Either way takes longer than for Wei or Shu, unfortunately.) If you choose to attack Huang Shao, then your troops will begin going upward and Zhang Liang will summon a rainstorm. Huangfu Song will begin advancing, but He Yi will suddenly appear. Huangfu Song can handle He Yi by himself, but you might want to help him. Now, the enemies at the east gate are gone. Sun Jian will tell you to continue advancing. You still have the people at the west gate (and possibly Gao Sheng) to worry about, though. If you take your time killing everyone, then Yan Zheng will appear at the north gate. Kill him, then go north and beat Zhang man Cheng. Zhang Liang will then activate his geysers. They look fun, but they hurt. Go and kill Zhang Liang. If you kill Han Xian first, then Zhang Liang will retreat. If you kill Zhang Liang now, then he won't appear in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / The Yellow Turban Fortress (SJ2) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: * My Difficulty: * Your Team: Zhu Jun, Cao Cao and his officers, Liu Bei and his officers, and Sun Jian and his officers. Other Team: Zhang Bao, Cheng Yuanzhi, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuan Shao, Bo Zhang, and He Yi. Objectives: Defeat Zhang Bao. Zhu Jun must survive. This is not the same as the Wei and Shu musou modes unless you want to go with them. I would just go down the left side where you start though. Start going down and you'll meet Bo Zhang. Kill him and his troops. Now enter the castle. A phantom army will appear. Try and kill them for the next 59 minutes, and you'll realize you spent an hour doing nothing. Go to the two towers that have a green aura around them. Destroy them, and the phantom army will vanish. Of course, the real enemies will still be there. Now go down and kill Zhou Cang. Continue going down and kill Cheng Yuanzhi. Go up if you want and kill Pei Yuan Shao, destroy the windmills, and kill He Yi if he's not dead yet. Go down to the base and kill Zhang Bao. If you seal the stronghold, he'll try to retreat, so ignore it. If you kill Zhang Bao now, then he won't appear in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / The Yellow Turban Rebellion (SJ3) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: * My Difficulty: * Your Team: He Jin, Cao Cao and his officers, Sun Jian and his officers, and Liu Bei and his officers.

Objectives: Defeat Zhang Jiao. He Jin must survive. This battle looks hard, but it's not. Sun Jian and company will start at the west side, which is the easier side, IMO. Guan Hai will start pretty close, so kill him. Then go and seal the stronghold by the fortress and go in it. Zhang Bao will use his magical fire pillars now. Kill Zhang Man Cheng by going AROUND the fire pillars. Then kill Zhang Bao. If you killed Zhang Bao back at the fortress, then ignore anything I said about him. Now go up and kill Zhang Jiao's two officers lurking by the hill. Now, go down and kill Zhang Liang IF he's down there with his magical rolling rocks of doom. Everyone else probably has been killed by now. (Especially If Xu Huang's here. He's good as a CPU in this stage for some reason.) Anyway, go to Zhang Jiao. If you killed Bao and Liang earlier, then he'll send magical flaming rolling rocks down the hill at you. Avoid them and go kill him. He has a LOT of life, which means LEVEL UP THE WEAPON NOW! This stage is great for a level 1-3 boost. Now, onto Act 2. Maybe. ////////////////////////////////////// Wu Tales- Return of the Yellow Turbans ////////////////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / Eliminate Zhang Jiao!

All Wu officers must survive. How to Unlock: Clear Wu Musou Mode once. Then, skip the Yellow Turban Menace, but clear the other two Yellow Turban Stages. For some reason, the Wu Tales stages are much harder then they should be for when they happen in musou mode. Anyway, start by rescuing Xiao Qiao. Kill all the enemies that stand in your way, and kill all the enemies by Xiao Qiao. She will tell you to go towards Da Qiao. By now, Sun Ce's probably helping out with the enemies, or at least standing there :P. Kill all the enemies surrounding you guys, and the Two Qiaos will be safe. Remember, it's just you 4, and you'll be doing all the work. Niou Fu will arrive when you try to leave. Go and kill him. Dong Zhuo and a bunch of other people will appear now. Don't go towards them yet. After a minute or so, a soldier we'll ask where we went, and Dong Zhuo will give the order to split up. Now, kill Hua Xiong, Li Jue, and Xu Rong separately. Go back to the castle and kill Dong Zhuo. He won't have any backup other then generic troops now. Kill some more enemies if you want, then go to the escape point. Li Ru will appear and box you in with Guo Si. Both of them are easy to beat, and when you kill them, everyone will retreat. Now you've unlocked the Two Qiaos.

You can either wait 10 minutes or so for it to open (And end up with bad morale), or you can kill all the officers that stand in your way, go ALL the way around the map, and take over the supply depot. Either way, after that, go back to the gate and Kill Hua Xiong and his two sub-generals. When you go in, Zhang Liao or Dong Min will appear.

Objectives: Find the Imperial Seal. Sun Jian must survive. How to Unlock: Skip Si Shui Gate and clear Hu Lao Gate. There are several ways to do this stage, and they're all hard. STRATEGY 1: Kill Zhang Liao, Diao Chan, and Li Jue. Lu Bu will appear. Kill him and Dong Zhuo will appear. Kill him too. Now break ALL 100 boxes, and the Imperial Seal will be in the last one. I've never done it this way with more then 5 minutes remaining. STRATEGY 2: Again, kill Zhang Liao, Diao Chan, and Li Jue. Kill Lu Bu as well. This time, start breaking boxes. When you get to 65 or so, kill Li Ru and Hu Zhen. Then, go to Dong Zhuo. Break boxes by him so that you reach 70. Dong Zhuo will be told where the seal is. Kill him before he escapes. Trust be, #2’s easier. If you want to use the first one I suggest the Imperial Seal GIF map.

Sun Jian must survive. If you’re using a slow character, than this will be a lot harder. Luckily, no one on Wu is painfully slow so you’ll be fine. You’ll start right by Huang Zu, so kill him. Lu Gong will retreat in the castle. Fro some reason, Sun Jian thinks it’s a good idea to follow him. He’ll get locked in the castle, so go rescue him. Kill the guard captains, and knock out enough enemies so he won’t die. Cai Mao will have appeared by now, as well as Zhang Hu. Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi can handle Zhang Hu for a while, just go and kill Cai Mao and Chen Sheng. Yan Liang will appear and start charging after Sun Jian. Kill him. Yuan Shao will then appear, so of course you should kill him. Dueling him may be a good idea if you’re getting bored. Keep in mind that Yan Liang and Yuan Shao have 7 morale. Most likely Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi are struggling by now, so be a pal and kill Zhang Hu. That’s the hard part. Go in the castle and kill Kuai Liang, Lu Gong, and Liu Biao. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Campaign for the Wu Territory (SJ10) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: **.5 Your Team: Sun Ce (with Cheng Pu, possibly you, and Jiang Qin), Zhou Yu (with Han Dang), and two random officers Other Team: Liu Yong (with Xue Li), Zhang Ying (with Yu Mi), Taishi Ci OR Zhang Yi, Fan Neng (with Chen Heng), Yan Baihu (with Yan Yu), Wang Lang (with Zhou Xin) Objectives: Defeat Liu Yong. Sun Ce must survive. Unfortunately you can’t just corss the ridge at the start because Zhang Yi will destroy it. Run to the castle on the right, and Yu Mi will retreat into it. Wait until Jiang Qin appears and he’ll open it for you. Zhang Ying will retreat, though Yu Mi should be close enough to you so that you can kill him. Kill Zhang Yi. Yan Baihu and Wang Lang will appear. At this point, Liu Yong will run and Zhang Ying wil reappear. Kill Yan Baihu and Wang Lang. At this point Zhou Yu will say to attack the supply depot. Attack the gong where it’s located, which will open the depot. Kill Fan Neng.

Sun Ce must survive. I like the stages that are pretty much mindless killing. Defend the supply depot (your starting location) be killing Yue Jiu, his subgeneral, and Li Feng. Kill Liang Gang and the main gate will open. Yuan Shu’s troops will be there while the wimp Liu Xun runs away. Have fun kiling all of Yuan Shu’s troops (for some reason Lei Bo is hard to kill), then kill Yuan Shu. If you’ve read the novel on this period I’m sure you’ll love the killing him part. Anyway, go kill Ji Ling, then run up and kill Liu Xun. You can kill Yuan Yin if you want, but the stage it set up so you don’t even have to touch him. /////////////////////////////// Wu Tales- The Tiger’s Adversary /////////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / Unification of Jing (SJ12) / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: *** My Difficulty: ** Your Team: Sun Jian (with Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and you) Other Team: Liu Biao (with Huang Zu, Lu Gong, and Kuai Liang), Liu Yong (with Zhang Ying), Yan Baihu (with Yan Yu), and Wang Lang (with Zhou Xin) Objectives: Defeat everyone.

Well, technically you just have to kill the four main officers, but this is one of those stages where you can actually defeat everyone. Attack Liu Yong. Wang Lang and some of Liu Yong’s generals will try and do a pincer attack on you. Kill Zhang Ying, Liu Yong, Zhou Xin, Wang Lang, Lu Gong, and everyone else that’s there. Now go up and kill the two Yan’s. Liu Biao will charge to, well, about to where you started the game. Pretty cruddy charge indeed. Anyway, go have a field day with the troops left.

Huang Zu will get on a ship and be gone for a while. You have three options available to you depending on what you want to do. #1: Kill Su Fei and Gan Ning. Ling Cao will be safe, but Gan Ning is VERY hard to kill, plus Huang Zu will probably be on the other side of the map and Sun Jian wil be in danger. It’s fun, but very hard. #2: This one’s a little easier. Kill Su Fei, but don’t kill Gan Ning. When Zhou Yu notices that the frigate is carrying gunpowder, go on the boat and light the powder (attack the pot). The ship will be on fire and Huang Zu will get angry when the ships collide. Gan Ning will be far easier to kill. #3: Don’t kill either. Ling Cao will probably die, but when you light the boat on fire, Gan Ning will betray them, making killing everyone easy. Once you pick your poison, kill Cai Mao, Zhang Hu, and Huang Zu. Those three are far easier than Gan Ning. If it’s Chen Sheng, then this guide still works for that.

Then, Sun Jian will send a messenger to Yuan Shu. I don't exactly know what the messenger does, but if you don't kill him, Li Jue will get annoyed. Anyway, kill Sun Jian now, since he's closest. Then go and kill Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun. For some reason, Xiahou Dun will always duel me at this point. Go up and kill Zhang He if you want to, although I don't see why you wouldn't. Kill the guys in the supply depot if you want, then continue going up and kill Yuan Shu. Now you can either go to Yuan Shao and kill him, avoid him and kill everyone else, or take the secret road to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei and kill them first.

Objectives: Defeat Yuan Shao. Dong Zhuo must survive. Here's something I don't get. When you're the Allied forces, Lu Bu charges out immediately after the gate's open. When you're Lu Bu's forces, you start past the main gate. Oh well. After you go through the first gate, three officers (not Yuan Shao's) go after you. Kill them, and kill all the enemies you want here. Continue outside. Take over a few strongholds while you're here. Now you can either kill Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Jian first. If you don't kill them, then there will be a fire attack that occurs. Cao Ang, Zhu Zhi, and Jian Yong will be attacking people at your base. Go back and kill them. When the fire attack occurs, or you kill two of the three generals, then Yuan Shao, Wen Chou, and Yan Liang will appear. Wen Chou and Yan Liang will come charging down, so you can wait for them and kill them when they come. Now, if any other generals/officers went past you, go and kill them. Now go into Yuan Shao's base. Kill Yuan Shao's officers, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zan if you haven't done so. Now, if you want, you can go to a few strongholds and see if any enemies pour out. (The strongholds at Hu Lao Gate are in the weirdest places.) Well, if you can't find anything else to do, kill Yuan Shao.

Objectives: Defeat Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu must survive. Killing all officers is the requirement to get Lu Bu's fourth ending. Lu Bu's revolt is good for one main reason: You don't really have to worry about people taking your KO's. Well, time to kill some people. Start by going after Fan Chou. Go right and kill Li Jue. Go left and kill Xu Rong. Go left and kill Xu Zhen. Go back to the start and go right. Kill Guo Si if you want, then go to the area with 2 strongholds. Take them over and kill Wang Fang.

I'll have two different walkthroughs for this. One includes getting the Red Hare Harness, the other doesn't. IF YOU HAVE OR DON'T NEED/WANT THE RED HARE HARNESS, FOLLOW THIS PART: There aren't too many officers in this battle. When you cross the bridge, Zhang Liao will appear and you'll do a pincer attack. Xu Zhu and Xiahou Dun are going to be aggressive towards you, so take them out when you get to them. A carriage will appear shortly after. If it stays safe, Yuan Shu will show up. whether you want to save it or not is up to you. Then, go and kill Liu Bei and his officers. Xu Huang and Cao Zhang should then show up. Kill them, and kill Cao Cao's officers. You can go and take over some strongholds if you want now. Kill Cao Cao and he'll retreat. Look on the bright side, you can kill him again. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE RED HARE HARNESS, FOLLOW THIS PART: Going through the battle this way is a little harder. All you can really do is wait. Eventually, after Guan Yu kills a bunch of people, Chen Gong will say that Red Hare must not fall into the hands of Guan Yu. Guan Yu will make a rush for the island in the southeast corner. He will get the Red Hare and become more powerful. Don't worry. He's still easier than at Guan Du. Kill him and a box will appear. Inside is the Red Hare Harness. Now follow the guide above. / / / / / / / / / / / / / Campaign against Cao Cao (LuBu5) / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: **** My Difficulty: **** Your Team: Lu Bu (with Chen Gong), Zhang Liao, Diao Chan, Zang Ba, Yin Li, and Yang Feng (with Gao Shun).

Objectives: Defeat Cao Cao. Lu Bu must survive. This battle is another of the most annoying ones. It looks like it's going to be a long battle, and it probably will be. The first thing you should do is go towards Cao Ren. Which way you go shouldn't matter. Kill whatever officer's there, and you can have some fun killing all the enemies in here. Cao Ren has at least 100+ enemies in the castle. Anyway, kill him when you're done, and you can continue. You can continue downward, or you can to towards Xiahou Yuan. I always go to Xiahou Yuan, so I'll do that first. When you kill the officer guarding the castle, Xiahou Yuan will retreat. Zhang Liao will charge after him, so you might as well too. When you get down there, an ambush occurs. Kill Yue Jin (the ambusher) and Xiahou Yuan, and continue downward. Kill Li Dian. You can either do in and kill Dian Wei, or go up an kill Cao Pi and his officers. If you continue up that way, Xu Huang will appear. (Whether it's an ambush or not depend which way you came.) Kill him. GO back in the castle and kill Dian Wei. All that's left is Cao Cao right? Wrong. Cao Cao will close the gate, and Xiahou Dun will appear. He will go right after the enemy's main camp, which means he'll go after Lu Bu. Get out of the castle, and go up and kill him. This is hard to do without a horse. Anyway, you can kill Cao Cao now and get revenge for history. (In history, Cao Cao killed Lu Bu.) //////////////////////////// Act 4- The Mightiest Warrior //////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / / / Campaign against Sun Jian (LuBu6) / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ***** My Difficulty: *** Your Team: Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Diao Chan, Yin Li, and Yang Feng.

Objectives: Defeat Sun Jian. Lu Bu must survive. This battle looks easier than it is. Start by either killing Ling Tong or Jiang Qin, who guard the gates. (Or both) Then, go in the gate you opened, kill the enemies quickly, and kill Lu Meng/Zhou Tai. For some reason, duels are very common against them. Anyway, continue going up. Kill Lu Su and go in the castle. If you took 5 minutes or more, then a fire attack occurred, which makes them a little harder to defeat. Kill Sun Jian's officers while you're up here, then go and kill Gan Ning or SSX and their officers. I wouldn't be surprised if Sun Ce killed one of your generals at this point. Don't worry about that. After you kill either one, kill Sun Ce. Then go and kill Lu Meng or Zhou Tai, whichever one's still alive. Kill Gan Ning or SSX, whoever's still alive next. All that's left is Sun Jian. Kill him and continue on to Liu Bei. / / / / / / / / / / / / / Campaign against Liu Bei (LuBu7) / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ***** My Difficulty: *** Your Team: Lu Bu (with Gao Shun), Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Diao Chan, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian. Other Team: Liu Bei (with Xu Shu), Guan Yu (with Guan Ping), Zhang Fei (with Fu Shi Ren), Huang Zhong, Mi Fang, Wei Yan, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and Ma Chao. Objectives: Defeat Liu Bei. Lu Bu must survive. This battle looks extremely easy with 3 generals. Well, a lot more appear, so don't get too excited. Start by killing Guan Ping, who's right by you. Then, go upward and kill Guan Yu. You can take his Red Hare if you don't already have it. Huang Zhong will appear after Guan Yu dies. Kill the old man and continue. Kill the scout (Mi Fang) and he will give false info to Liu Bei. Kill Zhang Fei next. You can skip him and kill Fu Shi Ren if you want too. Ma Chao will appear when he dies. Kill him. After a certain mount of time, Mi Zhu will appear behind Chen Gong. When you kill both "brothers", Jian Yong and Wei Yan will appear. Jian Yong should be right by you, so kill him. Go back to your base and kill Mi Zhu. Then, go up and kill Wei Yan, who's trying to take a stronghold. Most people don't notice that Wei Yan shows up, so make sure you look above your base. All that's left is to go in the castle. Kill Xu Shu in there. You can kill any stray enemies now if you want, or you can kill Liu Bei, and make Lu Bu the ruler. You now have Dong Zhuo's musou mode if you didn't have it already. ***************************** * 8-5.

You have more troops then Lu Bu does, but his troops have near-max morale. Start by going up to Lu Bu and Chen Gong. Lu Bu will say that he can't fight Diao Chan, so he'll retreat for now. Kill Chen Gong, and Lu Bu won't have a strategist. Now, go to his strongholds and seal them so that he won't escape, although I highly doubt he would have anyway. Go down to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun quickly, because Zhang Liao's going through your troops like a hot knife through butter. He killed Hua Xiong within a minute! Anyway, kill him and Gao Shun, and all that's left will be Lu Bu. I would kill all the troops first so that they don't get in your way. Lu Bu is almost as powerful now as he was in Hu Lao Gate, but it's just the morale that's doing that. Anyway, kill him and this musou mode is over. ***************************** * 8-6.

Objectives: Defeat Cao Cao. Yuan Shao must survive. Good, you have a lot of officers this time, unlike Cao Cao's forces, where Yuan Shao had almost nobody. Again, I'll have two guides. Part 1a is if you choose to go right after Guan Yu, which you need to do if you want the 4th ending. Part 1b is if you choose not to. I don't blame you, because Guan Yu is a monster on this stage, no exaggeration. Part 2 is the guide after Guan Yu. PART 1a- CHASE AFTER GUAN YU: Guan Yu will go right after Yan Liang, who's to the right of the right castle. Go to the other castle where Wen Chou is and wait for him, because he'll kill Yan Liang before you get here. He will challenge to a duel. If you don't kill him in the duel, then he'll pursue you, so you have no choice whether you kill him or not. Kill him and continue. PART 1b- IGNORE GUAN YU: Guan Yu will be running all over the map, so you might as well wait until he's done. After he kills Yan Liang, he'll go after Wen Chou. Then he'll go after Yuan Shang. Yuan Shao will ask someone to stop Guan Yu, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu will meet up. Both of them will leave. PART 2- AFTER GUAN YU: Now, continuing on with the battle. Go down into the castle, and fight Cao Ren. Kill Yu Jin as well, so that everyone will retreat. When you guys go down to Guan Du and defend the rams, Li Dian will appear, and he'll head towards Chunyu Qiong (or Chun Yuqiong for the history fanatics) Lu Wei Kuang will put up a spirited defense, so you have a little bit of time. Anyway, go up and kill him. while you're going up to get him, there will be an archer ambush, but if you're on a horse, then they won't mean a thing. Besides, you can kill them when you're coming back. Anyway, after you kill Li Dian, the ram will punch a hole into Guan Du castle. (What is it with Yuan Shao and rams?) Only this time the ram break through the wall, not the door. All the generals will begin attacking you. Kill all of them, and yes, I know there's a lot. It's a good way to get experience. After that, kill Cao Cao's officers, then kill Cao Cao. It's more annoying done than written. ///////////////////////////// Act 4- Kingdom of Yuan Family ///////////////////////////// / / / / / / / / / / / / / Campaign against Liu Bei (YS7) / / / / / / / / / / / / / Game Difficulty: ***** My Difficulty: *** Your Team: Yuan Shao (with Yuan Xi), Tian Feng, Zhang He, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang.

Objectives: Defeat Zhuge Liang. Meng Huo must survive. For once, the Nanman Campaign is easy! That's only because you're on the Nanman forces though. The first thing you should do is start going up. (Or right, whichever way Wei Yan is for you). Go up and kill Wei Yan's officers. When you kill Wang Ping, then Ma Su will fall back, and Wu Tugu will go after him. Ignore that for now. Kill Wei Yan, then start going up. Reinforcements will arrive and go right toward you. Kill Ma Dai when he comes, then kill Ma Chao. A message will appear that says that Ma Su is preparing for a ploy. Qu Tugu will be in danger. Stop what you're going and go to him. Kill Pang Togn and go up. Kill Ma Su and you're safe. If you don't go, then Wu Tugu's forces will be wiped out by a fire attack. Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne will surrender if Wu Tugu dies. Now, Huang Zhong will go after you. Kill his officers as well as him. Now go up. If you kill Zhuge Liang's officers, as well as all the other officers on the map, then he'll retreat. So, ignore one of his officers if you want to kill him. Anyway, kill him and he'll retreat.

Objectives: Defeat Liu Bei. Meng Huo must survive. This is the final battle with Shu. This is not the same as the cheng Du in Wei's musou mode, so I'll do a walkthrough on it. Start by going towards Zhu Bao. Kill Mi Zhu and Ma Dai if you pass them. Kill one of Zhu Bao's officers, and he'll surrender. (what a wimp) Zhang Bao will appear at the bridge, and Guan Xing and Guan Suo will appear as Ma Su's officers. Anyway, go to the bridge and kill Zhang Bao. Go up and kill Zhao Yun. Now go and kill Ma Dai and Mi Zhu if you haven't done so. Go and kill Guan Suo and Guan Xing. Go into the castle and kill Ma Su. Watch out for the arbalests on the top of the castle. Wu Tugu shouldn't be struggling if he was to begin with. He must survive if you want the Nanman's fourth ending. Go down and attack Yue Ying. Kill her juggernauts if you want, but I would just go and kill her officer, then kill her. A secret route will have been found. A secret route with mines. Anyway, go back to the castle because Ma Chao is there. I would start going through the forest after killing him, despite the countless ambushes and the several officers that appear. When you get near the end, Guan Yu will appear. Kill him. Now, go down and kill Jiang Wei. Then go and kill Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei probably appeared a while ago. Now you can try and kill him. Also, a peasant militia will appear when the gates open. Take over the stronghold to stop the flow, then you can have fun killing all the peasants. You can actually crush them in one blow! Anyway, kill Liu Bei whenever you want to clear Wei's musou mode. You have unlocked Lu Bu's musou mode if you haven't done so. You also probably unlocked the Yellow Turbans musou mode since you probably did this one last. ********************************** * 8-8.

Nanman Campaign is hard because is long and the other team always has 8 morale. Jian Ye is hard because of 5 Sun Jians. This is hard because of the back and forth action. The first ting you'll want to do is either go after whichever officer you're closest too. After that, defeat Zhu Jun or Huangfu Song. (whichever one was in the center) By now, Sun Jian and Liu Bei probably appeared. Go defeat Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who should be close, then go defeat Cao Cao and the Xiahous when they appear. Yuan Shao probably appeared by now as well. Defeat Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun if you haven't done so already. Now go defeat the Xiahous, who are in the lower right corner. Cao Cao will either be there as well, or he'll be near Yuan Shao. Go defeat Cao Cao. OK, now all that's left is Yuan Shao and He Jin. Go defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou if they weren't defeated already. (Only point in the stage that your allies may kill an officer) Defeat Yuan Shao. Now, all that's left is He Jin. Your allies are all at him by now, so there's not much to kill. Kill He Jin, and the stage is... not over? Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong appear behind the Zhangs. Go kill Hua Xiong, take over the strongholds, then kill Dong Zhuo. Only one person left. That person is Lu Bu. Well, it's just him, so go kill him. Don't let him get a hit in. You should be fine, but your allies are another story, and they need to survive to get the 4th ending. Go kill Lu Bu, and you win. You now completed all musou modes. Now go do something productive, like getting all the characters, or some level 10 weapons, etc. ****************** * 9. Other Modes * ****************** Here is where I will explain everything else besides Musou Mode and Edit Mode that's in the game. ///////// Free Mode ///////// Free Mode is whatever you want it to be. It can be used for practicing stages, it can be used to level up characters, etc. It's basically Musou Mode without the storyline. You will need to unlock the stages in Musou mode before you can play them in free mode. ////////////// Challenge Mode ////////////// Challenge mode is where you test your skills at certain things. You can try to get 100 KO's as fast as possible, you can try to knock as many people off a bridge as possible, you can destroy as many objects as you can, and you can try and KO as many enemies as you can. Suggestions: according to Nathan Savage, Guan Yu and Wei Yan are both great for this mode. //////////// Encyclopedia //////////// This is where you can look at Mini-bios for all the officers in the game, this is where you can look at all the weapons and items you have, and where you can learn about what happened in history. (Actually, most of it is taken from the novel, not history.) /////// Options /////// This where you can set the game difficulty, view the movies/endings you've unlocked, and a bunch of other stuff. //////// Continue //////// If you haven't finished a stage in Musou/Free mode, pick this to continue it. ***************** * 10. Edit Mode * ***************** Edit Mode is where you can create custom officers/bodyguards. You basically pick their weapon, 1st charge, and appearance, and that's about it. Bodyguards will be covered in the bodyguards section. How to create an officer: Step 1: Create a name. Step 2: Pick his/her appearance. Step 3: Pick his/her weapon/1st charge. Step 4: Confirm your decision. ****************** * 11. Bodyguards * ****************** Bodyguards are a part of DW4 that you have a lot of control over. You can create your own unit of 8 bodyguards, or you can use the default ones. (The first default one contains 8 characters from history who weren't in the game, and the second one brought an end to the three kingdoms.) How to Create a Bodyguard: Step 1: Pick their names. Step 2: Pick their gender. Step 3: Start using them in battle. Also, each weapon that is given will give a certain amount of life, musou, attack, and defense to them. --Weapons-- Sword- Gains more HP than any other weapon, but gains little defense. Bow- Gains more defense than any other weapon. Other stats are good too. Spears- Gains more musou than any other weapon, but gains little defense. Acquired at 1000 bodyguard points. Pikes- Gains more attack then any other weapon, but gains no defense. Acquired at 2000 bodyguard points. Crossbows- Gain a fairly good (not great) amount of everything. Acquired at 3000 bodyguard points. --Final Bodyguard Levels (what class they are at level 20)-- Stalwart- Non-elemental, no stat really great. Master- Flame element, great amount of HP. Tiger- Blast element, great attack. Expert- Lightning element, great musou. Phoenix- Ice element, great defense. Dragon- Vorpal element, all stats great. --Bodyguard points and levels-- There are 20 bodyguard levels, where the stats increase. To level up your bodyguards, you need them to KO enemies, and have them survive. You start with 2 bodyguards, but once you get a certain number of points, you can get more. I'm sure that after 500 points, you get 3, and so on. At 3000, not 2500, you get 7, and at 4000 you get 8. Also, when you get a certain number of points, you get a better rank. You start as a private. After 1500 points you become a sergeant. 1500 more makes you a major, and 1500 you makes you elite. (faceless general) *************** * 12.
