You see, this game is based off from real history of China. It's about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms (or ROTK for short). There is a novel about the ROTK that can be found at a book store. ROTK is about three kingdoms that fought to see who could control China. There are three kingdoms. Shu, Wu, and Wei are the three kingdoms. But there were other people that too fought to rule China. You'll learn soon enough. Updates: 1.00-This is my first version of my DW4 FAQ. 1.01-I just re-aligned the Unit Information in the stages. 1.02-Added my screen name for AIM, which I forgot. I also fixed a few typos I found. 1.03-I corrected a requirement for the Wu - Tales: Dong Zhuo Lives! 1.04-I added a few notes for the bonuses in The Siege of Fan Castle and Battle of Shi Ting, both for the Wu forces. 1.05-I added the item hunting for Battle of Yi Ling, Wu Forces, and I also added some good FAQs (forgot to add that in earlier). I also forgot to add in Wang Ping as an enemy ambush officer in Battle of Wu Zhang Plains, Wei Forces. 1.06-I added a note about Battle of Mt. Ding Jun as Wei forces. 1.07-I corrected the unit info for Battle of Cheng Du as Wei forces. I forgot to add the sub-officers of Cao Zhang and Cao Hong. I also added missing stuff for the FAQ. Also, Steven Chin, who hosts some sites about the games about the ROTK, wanted to ask if he could host this FAQ at http://forums.sanguo- online.com and I allowed him yo. And please make sure the letters and characters in this guide are lined up. Use this to make sure it's lined up.

Controls, Options, and the Basics Menu: X Button-Choose Triangle Button-Cancel D-Pad-Scroll Up/Down/Left/Right Other buttons will be shown on the screen and tell you what they do. In Battle: X-Jump/Ride on Horse (position yourself next to a horse or behind a horse) Triangle: Charge Attack Square: Attack Circle: Charge Musou (if Musou bar is not full)/Use Musou attack (if Musou bar is full) D-Pad: Move L1: Guard with weapon R1: Use Arrows (cannot be used if you have no arrows, number below your portrait next to your HP Bar and Musou Bar indicates how many arrows you have) X Then Triangle: Uses a Ground Pound Attack Guard then Triangle (when enemy is about to hit you): Reversal/Counter Options: Musou Mode: It's a story mode of one of the three kingdoms. You can create a new game for one of the three kingdoms (Shu, Wu, or Wei) or continue a saved game. Note that changes that you saved will be permanent on your memory card block of Dynasty Warriors 4. Free Mode: Allows you to play any stage that you unlocked in Musou Mode. VS Mode: Two player game. Challenge Mode: Gives you fun challenges to do. Edit Mode: Allows you to create your own officers and bodyguards. Encyclopedia: Gives information on the story of the ROTK, officers, what items you currently have, and what weapons you have. Options: Make changes in options. Basics -Your objectives in this game is to take out enemy officers and raise your army's morale. Morale affects your army. If a low morale officer is fighting a high morale officer, the low morale officer is most likely going to lose. The bar on the top-right corner when you are in the battlefield shows your overall army's morale. If the bar is mostly blue, then your army is doing fine. If the bar is mostly red, then your army's not too well. -Your army has a commander and the enemy has one as well. If your commander is defeated by the enemy, you will automatically lose. If the enemy commander is defeated by your army, then you will automatically win. You'll know your commander is in danger if you get a message saying "The main camp is under attack! Assist at once!". If you get that message, DROP WHATEVER THE HELL YOU'RE DOING AND SAVE THE COMMANDER!!! Sometimes, though, there will be a situation where you can't save the commander in time and must defeat the enemy commander quickly. Hope that your can take out the enemy commander quickly before your commander dies. -For using the maps, the blue dots represent your army's troops. The light blue dots represent your army's officers. The light blue dot with a blinking aura emitting represents your army's commander. The red dots represent the enemy army's troops. The light red dots represent the enemy army's officers. The light red dot with a blinking aura emitting represents the enemy army's commander. -Your health bar is the green bar to your bottom-left corner. If it's green, it's excellent. If it's yellow, it's doing so-so. If it's red, RUN AWAY FROM ENEMIES!!! Try to search in pots for bread buns and chicken. A single bread bun will recover 50 points of health. A double bread bun will recover 100 points of health. A single chicken will recover 200 points of health. A big chicken will recover all points of health. A wine jar will give you instantly full Musou. An ointment (it looks like a small-sized blue jar) recovers fully both your health and your Musou bar. -New to Dynasty Warriors 4 are duels. Sometimes when you approach an enemy officer, they may challenge you to a duel. If you don't want to duel, then press Start. Note that if you refuse to duel, your army's overall morale will drop. If you win a duel, your army's morale will rise, and the officer you dueled with will be out of the board. -Gate Captains, unlike in Dynasty Warriors 3, do not drop defense items, but drop meat buns instead. 3.

If you have glitches to submit, well, send it in! You can communicate with me by AIM by finding me at RamzaBeoulve259 or e-mailing me at ramzabeoulve259@yahoo.com. I took a few from Muni Shinobu. Battle of Xia Kou (Sun Jian's Forces): Huang Zu's face changing! Take a look at Huang Zu's face sprite in the Unit Info. It's the same sprite as Han Xian, Yuan Yin, Yuan Shu, etc. When he talks, he'll switch his face sprite to another one (the face sprite that Pei Yuan Shao, Zhou Cang, Zhang Man Chang, etc. have)! Battle of Guan Du (Cao Cao's Forces): Cheng Yu turned into a private! When you are doing the process of burning down Wu Chao, Cheng Yu will have a private face sprite when he reports of the location of Wu Chao! Battle of Fan Castle (Shu Forces): Pang De doesn't know his grammar! When Guan Yu approaches Pang De, he will say "Guan Yu! Your will not proceed beyond this point!" Battle of Cheng Du (Nanman Forces): Yue Ying walks up the mountain! This must be done in Free Mode. Play as Yue Ying in Battle of Cheng Du as Nanman Forces and give her a horse harness. Any will do. When you start the battle, before it loads up, hold on to L1 and Down at the same time and keep on holding the buttons and when the stage starts, Yue Ying will walk up the mountain! You can now go anywhere outside the battlefield, and visit places you are forbidden to go normally (i. e. gates). (Credit goes to Muni Shinobu) Battle of Hu Lao Gate (Allied Forces): Liu Bei walks up the mountain! In Battle of Hu Lao Gate as Allied Forces, play as Liu Bei and give him a horse harness. Any will do. When the stage loads, hold on to Up and when the stage starts, keep on holding to it and Liu Bei will walk up the mountain! You can go past Zhang Liao or Dong Min using this trick! (Credit goes to Muni Shinobu) Battle of Yi Ling (Wu Forces): Lu Xun goes into the water! In Battle of Yi Ling as Wu Forces, play as Lu Xun and give him a horse harness. Any will do. When the stage loads, hold on to Up and when the stage starts, keep on holding it and Lu Xun will walk into the water. If you keep on holding to Up he'll even walk up the mountain! (Credit goes to Muni Shinobu) Battle of Guan Du (Any side): Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun! You'll need to have two players for this. You can pick either Cao Cao's Forces or Yuan Shao's Forces. Here is what each player must pick (this must be done in Free Mode). Cao Cao's Forces First player: Xiahou Dun (Wei) Second player: Zhao Yun (Shu) When the battle starts, both players will be Zhao Yun! Yuan Shao's Forces First player: Xu Huang (Wei) Second player: Zhao Yun (Shu) When the battle starts, both players will be Zhao Yun! (Credit goes to Muni Shinobu) Easy Surviving in Duels When you are in a duel and you think you are going to lose, you can survive easily. To do this, just stand next to the duel arena wall and then hold onto R1 and then aim at the area outside the arena and the opponent won't hit you. Zhang He's Phoenix Talon: No weapon message When you are trying to get Zhang He's level ten weapon in Battle of Jie Ting, you'll notice that there will be no weapon message even when you have defeated Ma Su's sub-officers, Ma Su, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Yue Ying. Don't worry about it. As long as you are playing on Hard Mode, have Zhang He's level 9 weapon, and defeated them, you will get the weapon when you finish the level and it shows you your weapon status. And it will evolve. 7. Character Biographies This section contains the biographies of the playable officers in the kingdoms. Beware, for it contains some spoilers. ---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---== Shu ---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---== Liu Bei: Liu Bei was the founder and leader of his Shu army. He fights to restore the Han dynasty. He adopts Liu Feng as his son and has an infant son named Liu Chan. He marries Wu's Sun Shang Xiang. He gives Liu Chan the throne when he dies, but says to Zhuge Liang that if Liu Chan is not a good leader then he can take over the Shu army. Guan Yu: Guan Yu was known as the God of War. He is one of Liu Bei's oath brothers and swears a brotherhood along with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. When he was separated from his brothers, he joined Cao Cao's Wei army for a while. In Guan Du, he killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two of Yuan Shao's most powerful generals. However, he meets Liu Bei in battle, and then Guan Yu prepares to return to Shu. When escaping from Xu Chang, he battled his way through five gates to the Yellow River, where Liu Bei was waiting. He then later leads an attack onto Cao Ren in Fan Castle, but is back-attacked by the Wu army and retreats to Mai Castle, where he is eventually captured. When he was captured, Sun Quan wanted to have Guan Yu join, but Guan Yu insulted Wu and was killed. Zhang Fei: Zhang Fei was another one of Liu Bei's oath brothers and swore a brotherhood to both Liu Bei and Guan Yu. In Chang Ban, he scared many of Cao Cao's soldiers with a loud roar and a scream. This terrified a lot of Cao Cao's soldiers. When Zhang Fei heard of Guan Yu's death, he was shocked and very mad. This caused him to his downfall, as Zhang Fei's people started to dislike him and then kill Zhang Fei even though they were a part of the Shu army. Zhao Yun: Zhao Yun was a very honorable warrior. He served Gongsun Zan before serving Liu Bei. Gongsun Zan introduced him to Liu Bei. Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were actually friends. Zhao Yun saw Liu Bei's strong virtues and was very impressed. When Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, Zhao Yun fled away. He then travels to Liu Bei's army and serves him. During the battle of Chang Ban, Zhao Yun went against the massive Wei army killing people on his way until he rescued Liu Chan, and returning the baby to Liu Bei safely. Zhuge Liang: Zhuge Liang was a very great strategist and a major contribution to Liu Bei's army. He used tactics such as ambushes, traps, and fire attacks to wipe out his enemy. During the naval battle in Chi Bi, he and Zhou Yu formulated of a fire attack that Huang Gai had thought of. Both strategists asked a fisherman where the wind was blowing to. The answer gave them a quick advantage and the fire attack against Cao Cao's massive fleet worked. Then, after the Shu army gained the lands of Cheng Du, Zhuge Liang went south to Nan Zhong. The Nanman troops were causing trouble, but Zhuge Liang formed a relationship with the Nanman leader Meng Huo after defeating him seven times. Then he went north to Tian Shui. When he saw Jiang Wei's skills as a strategist, Zhuge Liang used a ploy that made Wei think Jiang Wei was a traitor. Jiang Wei was forced to depart to Shu, but there he and Zhuge Liang admired each other. Wei's strategist Sima Yi was his arch rival, but Zhuge Liang died before the showdown at Wu Zhang Plains, and he left things to Jiang Wei. Pang Tong: Pang Tong was another strategist, like Zhuge Liang. In Chi Bi, he linked and immobilized Cao Cao's massive fleet with chains, ensuring the first plan of the fire attack. The fire attack eventually did work. Pang Tong then suggested Liu Bei to attack Liu Zhang and take over Cheng Du. He was killed, however, by Zhang Ren in an ambush when he was mistaken for as Liu Bei because he was riding Liu Bei's grey horse, Hex Mark horse. Huang Zhong: Huang Zhong was an old man with great archery skills who first served Han Xuan, one of Cao Cao's vassals. However, when he let Guan Yu pass during Shu's assault on the Jing province, Han Xuan thought Huang Zhong was a traitor, and was about to kill Huang Zhong for treason, but Huang Zhong was saved by Wei Yan. Later in the battle of Mt. Ding Jun, he charged down towards the Wei army and killed Xiahou Yuan. Wei Yan: Wei Yan first served Han Xuan, but later killed him when Han Xuan was about to execute Huang Zhong for treason. He then served Liu Bei. He had a rebellious spirit, though, and Zhuge Liang could not have handled him. Wei Yan later revolted after Liu Bei's death, but was executed by Ma Dai for suspicion of treason. Yue Ying: Yue Ying was the wife of Zhuge Liang. She was unattractive. However, she possessed great skills for war, and Zhuge Liang wanted to marry her after hearing of her skills. She tries everything in her power to support Zhuge Liang. Ma Chao: Ma Chao was the son of Ma Teng. He was nicknamed "Ma Chao the Splendid". When his father was killed by Cao Cao, Ma Chao wanted to have vengeance against Cao Cao for his father's death. He lost against Cao Cao in Tong Gate, though. Then he went to serve Liu Zhang, but when Liu Bei's army attacked, Ma Chao was persuaded to join Shu. He fights for justice. Jiang Wei: Jiang Wei originally served Cao Cao's vassal, Ma Zun. He used a great strategy to defeat Shu, which made Zhuge Liang admire his talents as a prodigy. Jiang Wei was caught in an enemy ploy and was thought to be a traitor. He then served Zhuge Liang, and he admired him. He liked to read Zhuge Liang's strategy books. When Zhuge Liang died, Jiang Wei took command as strategist for Shu. ---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---== Wei ---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---== Cao Cao: Cao Cao was the founder and leader of the Wei army. He was known as a "Hero of Chaos". He was a decent strategist. He opposed Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, and defeated them. However, he suffered a major defeat at Chi Bi. But he regained his lost power later. When he died, he left Sima Yi in charge of Wei. Xiahou Dun: Xiahou Dun was one of Cao Cao's cousin and Xiahou Yuan's brother. He was a great warrior for Wei. During the battle against Lu Bu in Xia Pi, Xiahou Dun's left eye was shot by an arrow. But when Xiahou Dun took it out, he claimed that it was a spirit of his family, and since he could not throw it away, he ate it instead. Even then, he could still fight well. Xiahou Yuan: Xiahou Yuan is Xiahou Dun's brother and Cao Cao's cousin. He was a good archer. He defeated Ma Chao and had a long list of accomplishments. However, he died at Mt. Ding Jun. He was killed by Huang Zhong. Xu Huang: Xu Huang initially served Yang Feng. He was persuaded by the Wei officer Man Chong to join Cao Cao. He had a friendly relationship with Guan Yu when he briefly joined Cao Cao's ranks. When the Shu officer Meng Da wanted to join Wei, Xu Huang shouted at Meng Da and called him a traitor. Meng Da responded by firing a volley of arrows at Xu Huang. Xu Huang died later by the arrows. Dian Wei: Dian Wei was loyal to his lord, Cao Cao. He was known as "The Coming Evil". During the brief stay at Wan Castle, Dian Wei's weapon was stolen, and when Wan Castle was incinerated in flames, Dian Wei had to use his bare hands to fight off Zhang Xiu's forces to save Cao Cao. He used enemy bodies as his weapons. He was brought down eventually by Zhang Xiu's archers, and Cao Cao said that Dian Wei was the greatest lost at Wan Castle. Xu Zhu: Xu Zhu was a man of massive size. He was always calm outside of battles. In battles, he was very fierce. He had an equal match with Dian Wei. He earned the nickname "Crazy Tiger". Cao Ren: Cao Ren is Cao Cao's young cousin and has learned martial arts and horsemanship. He defended Fan Castle when Guan Yu came to attack it. Zhen Ji: Zhen Ji is the wife of Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi. She was a woman of great beauty. However, when Cao Pi was drunk once, he said to Zhen Ji to go kill herself while he was still drunk. Zhen Ji sobbed, and went off and killed herself. When Cao Pi knew what happened, he regretted it so much. Sima Yi: Sima Yi is the strategist of Wei. He is Zhuge Liang's rival. He defeated Zhuge Liang at Wu Zhang Plains. His family later betrayed Wei and renamed it as the Jin dynasty, led by his son, Sima Zhao, and then his grandson, Sima Yan. Zhang Liao: Zhang Liao first served Lu Bu, but when he and Lu Bu were about to be executed by Cao Cao, Guan Yu commanded to stop and persuaded Zhang Liao to join Wei. Lu Bu was killed, though. In He Fei, Zhang Liao managed to stop a big number of Wu troops with just only a few troops. Zhang He: Zhang He originally served Yuan Shao. But after false charges from one of Yuan Shaos' officers Guo Tu, Zhang He fled to Wei. After defeating Yuan Shao, Zhang He was known as one of Wei's Tiger generals. He sees beauty in even battle and is narcisstic. In Jie Ting, he surrounded Ma Su's camp effectively leading Shu to a humiliating defeat. ---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---== Wu ---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---== Sun Jian: Sun Jian was the founder of the Wu kingdom. He ruled Jiang Dong and the Jing Province. He is also known as the Tiger of Jiang Dong. When he was fighting Liu Biao's forces, Lu Gong lured Sun Jian to an ambush by Kuai Liang. When Sun Jian pursued Lu Gong, a boulder hit Sun Jian on the head and Sun Jian was killed. Sun Shang Xiang: Sun Shang Xiang is the daughter of the Sun family. She is considered a tomboy warrior. She was sent to marry Liu Bei and to watch Liu Chan by the Sun family. When she heard of rumors that Liu Bei died in Yi Ling, she drowned herself in a river. Huang Gai: Huang Gai had been a Wu officer ever since the Wu kingdom was found by Sun Jian. He thought of the fire attack when preparing for the battle of Chi Bi against Cao Cao's massive fleet. In Chi Bi, he made a massive fire attack on Cao Cao's massive fleet. He was shot an arrow but was saved by Han Dang. Lu Meng: Lu Meng at first was a warrior. He always thought it was strength to make a warrior skilled. But Sun Quan said to Lu Meng that strategy is essential. After that, Lu Meng started to become a strategist as well as a warrior. Then with Lu Xun's cooperation, he attacked Guan Yu from behind and when Guan Yu retreated to Mai Castle, he managed to capture the great God of War. Sun Ce: Sun Ce was Sun Jian's older son and older brother of Sun Quan. He continued the ruling of Wu after Sun Jian died from the boulder ambush that Sun Jian fell for. He was known as "The Little Conqueror". He is best friends with Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu: Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's best friend and an intelligent strategist, proposing numerous strategies. He hated Zhuge Liang and when he died, he asked to the Heavens why Zhuge Liang was born. Lu Xun: Lu Xun was the second strategist of Wu after Zhou Yu. He used a back attack against Guan Yu with Lu Meng in Fan Castle and captures Guan Yu. He also planned the fire attack on Yi Ling against the Shu army and won against them. He marries Sun Ce's daughter. Sun Quan: Sun Quan became the ruler of Wu after both Sun Jian and Sun Ce died. He is a very mature ruler for Wu. His lives were mostly saved by the Wu officer Zhou Tai, and he praised Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai: Zhou Tai was a former pirate before joining the ranks of Wu with his comrade, Jiang Qin. He was praised by both Sun Ce and Sun Quan. He saved Sun Quan's life many times, and even got his scar on his face when saving Sun Quan's life once. He killed the Shu officer Shamoke. Taishi Ci: Taishi Ci first served Liu Yong, who took the Wu Territory. He dueled with Sun Ce and ended up in a draw. When Liu Yong was defeated, Taishi Ci served Wu. Gan Ning: Gan Ning was a sea pirate under Huang Zu before joining Wu. He killed Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, when Wu attacks Huang Zu.

He is driven back by Yuan Shao's allied forces and retreats, but burns the Han capital of Luo Yang. Yuan Shao: Yuan Shao is a noble and esteemed man. He was the leader of the allied forces sent to defeat Dong Zhuo. Later he opposed Cao Cao at Guan Du, but loses. The reason is because although his troops were massive, his supply depot at Wu Chao was burned down because Chunyu Qiong, who was drunk, failed to stop the assault. He realized he would never be able to defeat Cao Cao, and later dies of illness. Zhang Jiao: Zhang Jiao was the leader of the Yellow Turbans. He made the Yellow Turban Rebellion and opposed the Han Forces. But he is defeated by the Han Forces. Meng Huo: Meng Huo was the leader of the Nanman troops. He revolted against the Shu army, but when he was defeated by Zhuge Liang seven times, he realized he could never defeat Zhuge Liang and decided not to revolt and serve Shu. Zhu Rong: Zhu Rong is Meng Huo's wife. She was known to be a Goddess of Fire. She doesn't really like Meng Huo because he keeps on losing against the Shu army. 8. Walkthrough Well, here it is, the barbequed chickens for this guide. I will divide the walkthrough into different kingdoms, starting with Shu. For the unit info, a hyphen next to an officer means that the officer is a sub-officer of someone. An asterisk star means either that the officer is a reinforcement unit or ambush unit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ |__ |__| | | __| | | |__| Shu Musou Mode --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Act I - Oath at the Garden --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han Forces has been rebelled by a sect of people who believes in Heaven and summons magic. This sect is known as the Yellow Turbans, because all of the members of this sect wear yellow scarves on their heads. The leader of this sect is Zhang Jiao. The Han Imperial Forces now set off to fight the Yellow Turban. Among these men fighting against the Yellow Turbans are the Shu founder Liu Bei, the Wei founder Cao Cao, and the Wu founder, Sun Jian. The Yellow Turban Menace Region: Xu Province Bonus: Defeating Zhang Liang here will cause him to not appear in The Yellow Turban Rebellion. --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans Huangfu Song COMMANDER Zhang Liang UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- Huangfu Song Zhang Liang Cao Cao -Han Xian -Random Wei officer Zhang Man Cheng -Random Wei officer Guan Hai Sun Jian Gao Sheng -Random Wu officer Deng Mao -Random Wu officer Huang Shao Liu Bei Liu Pi -Random Shu officer *He Yi -Random Shu officer *Yan Zheng OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Liang. Defeat-Huangfu Song is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Since you are the volunteer forces, and you're starting near the south gate of Xia Pi castle, we should first take out the officer near the south gate first. It's Gao Sheng guarding it. Go ahead and defeat him. Then choose to clear the west or east gate of enemies. The west gate has Deng Mao and Huang Shao. The east gate has Liu Pi and Guan Hai. Either way, when you defeat three enemy officers (or if you go way too north), Zhang Liang will call forth a rain storm. Then Huangfu Song will join the battle (one of my friends likes his quotes, "So they summon a rainstorm with their magic. What of it?" "I too shall join the battle!") but will be ambushed by He Yi's forces. Go ahead and defeat He Yi, because if Huangfu Song is defeated, you lose. After defeating He Yi, wait for Huangfu Song at the north right gate, because once again Huangfu Song will be ambushed, this time by Yan Zheng. Defeat Yan Zheng. Then go ahead and take out all other enemy officers. Note that if you defeat all enemy officers other than Zhang Liang (but including sub-officers) (the only sub-officer is Han Xian under Zhang Liang), Zhang Liang will say to withdraw, but as long as you are in sight of Zhang Liang, he won't withdraw. The Yellow Turban Fortress Region: Guan Du Bonus: Defeating Zhang Bao here will cause him to not appear in The Yellow Turban Rebellion. --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans Zhu Jun COMMANDER Zhang Bao UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- Zhu Jun Zhang Bao Cao Cao Cheng Yuanzhi -Random Wei officer Zhou Cang -Random Wei officer Pei Yuan Shao Sun Jian He Yi -Random Wu officer Bo Zhang -Random Wu officer Liu Bei -Random Shu officer -Random Shu officer OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Bao. Defeat-Zhu Jun is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Unlike The Yellow Turban Menace, no enemy officer is going to ambush today's commander, which in this case will be Zhu Jun. This time is choice time. You have the choice of taking the left path or the right path. I'll divide them. LEFT PATH Defeat Bo Zhang to open the entrance to the battlement. A Phantom Army spell will attack the Han forces. As Sun Jian says, "Behind every spell there is always some gimmick." And he's right. There are two glowing implements. One is near the exit gate of the battlement. From there, go right according to the map to find the other one. Oh yeah, while taking them glowing things out, take down Zhou Cang. Oh yeah, later Zhou Cang will join your Shu forces. RIGHT PATH Go ahead and defeat He Yi. Also take out the gate captain near him. When you go deep inside the circular path at the right path Pei Yuan Shao will summon what appears to be the magical powers of the wind. As Cao Cao says, keep advancing against the wind to the bottom of the circular path and you'll discover it's not magic that creates the wind, rather, the winds are being created by windmills. You can destroy the windmills by hitting them until they fall. Destroying the windmills will stop the winds, and you'll get a comment about stopping the winds. Then take out Pei Yuan Shao. Either way, when you reach the castle at the bottom of the map (called Guan Du Castle), Cheng Yuanzhi will be guarding the gates, and defeating him will open up the gates. Note that if you defeat all enemy officers (including sub- officers, but there is none!) and defeating the gate captain close to Zhang Bao, this will cause him to withdraw. The Yellow Turban Rebellion Region: Ji Province --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans He Jin COMMANDER Zhang Jiao UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- He Jin Zhang Jiao Cao Cao -Huang Shao -Random Wei officer -Liu Pi -Random Wei officer -Zhou Cang Sun Jian -Han Xian -Random Wu officer Zhang Bao (Note) -Random Wu officer Zhang Man Cheng Liu Bei -Guan Hai -Random Shu officer Zhang Liang (Note) -Random Shu officer Bo Zhang -Deng Mao Pei Yuan Shao -He Yi -Yan Zheng Cheng Yuanzhi -Gao Sheng Note: If you have defeated Zhang Liang and/or Zhang Bao in The Yellow Turban Menace and/or the Yellow Turban Fortress, they will not appear here, and thus, their spells will be nullified. But if both are not present, Zhang Jiao will summon a rockslide when you reach the Ji Province city, and Bo Zhang will become powered up if Zhang Liang does not appear, and Zhang Man Cheng will be powered up if Zhang Bao does not appear. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Jiao. Defeat-He Jin is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 You start near Pei Yuan Shao's two sub-officers, He Yi and Yan Zheng, so take them out first. Then Gao Sheng will be wandering not too far from He Yi and Yan Zheng. Take him out too. Then it's once again a choice time, left or right. LEFT PATH If you chose the left path, you'll deal with Guan Hai and Zhang Man Cheng. And Zhang Bao if you did not defeat him in The Yellow Turban Fortress. If he does appear, he'll activate flame geysers that can damage you. If he does not appear, the flame geyser event will not be around, but Zhang Man Cheng will be powered up, as I said in the note above. But still he's not too hard. Then go ahead and skip the right path section. RIGHT PATH By going to the right path, you will deal with Deng Mao and Bo Zhang. Zhang Liang will also appear if you did not defeat him in The Yellow Turban Menace. If he does appear, he'll send a not-good rock slide attack. These rocks can take a good amount of health away from you. But these rocks can't differentiate whether if it's friend or foe, so it also hits the turban boys. Defeating Zhang Liang will stop the rock attack, but a few rocks will still roll around. If Liang doesn't appear, Bo Zhang will be powered, but like Man Cheng, he's not too hard even if he's powered up. Either way, go ahead and take out Zhou Cang and Han Xian. If both Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang did not appear, Zhang Jiao will summon a rock slide attack similar to that of Zhang Liang's, but this one cannot be stopeed, but it can be easily avoided. From not on it's just a matter of taking down Zhang Jiao's remaining sub-officers (which should be Huang Shao and Liu Pi) before taking out Zhang Jiao. Note that if you take down all officers (including sub- officers) and defeat the gate captain right next to Zhang Jiao, Jiao will retreat. This is vital for unlocking this act's tale, Return of the Yellow Turbans. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Tales: Return of the Yellow Turbans ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: Clear Shu Musou mode once. In Shu - Act I: The Oath at the Garden, clear or skip the Yellow Turban Menace. Skip The Yellow Turban Fortress. In The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao must retreat. This tale stage will appear after Act - I: The Oaht at the Garden. Story: Following the defeat of the Yellow Turbans in Ji Province, Zhang Jiao flees to Han Zhong and is helped by Zhang Lu, who is also a mystical leader. They attempt to start another rebellion. Liu Bei rises to once again stop Zhang Jiao. Eliminate Zhang Jiao! Region: Han Zhong --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Yellow Turbans Liu Bei COMMANDER Zhang Jiao/Zhang Lu UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Yellow Turbans ---------------- -------------- Liu Bei Zhang Jiao Guan Yu -Zhang Bao Zhang Fei -Zhang Liang Pei Yuan Shao He Yi Bo Zhang *Zhang Lu (Note) *Guan Yu (Note) *Zhang Fei (Note) Note: If you do not defeat all of Zhang Lu's troops and just defeat Zhang Lu, he'll reappear every time because he's a phantom. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will only defect to the Yellow Turbans if you do not stop Zhang Lu before he reaches Zhang Jiao and casts the spell that makes your ally soldiers defect. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu. Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Your task here is to stall Zhang Lu and defeat him before he joins Zhang Jiao at the top. If he does, they'll use a spell that turns all of your troops, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, against you and Liu Bei. If you defeat Zhang Lu before the spell is used, Zhang Jiao will cast a weaker version of the spell that doesn't affect Guan Yu or Zhang Fei. Right now quickly defeat Bo Zhang and He Yi to take the south fortress. When Zhang Lu's unit arrives, instead of defeating Zhang Lu, defeat ALL of his forces. Why not defeat Zhang Lu? Because every time you defeat him, he reappears because he's always an illusion until either he meets Zhang Jiao or all of his troops are defeated. The troops can easily be distinguished because they wear light blue white armor (how do you call that a yellow turban?). Once you have slain all of his troops, a message will say "An individual thought to be Zhang Lu has been sighted!" and the real Zhang Lu will appear near the north fortress. I'm not exactly sure how Zhang Lu clears a fortress, but I believe it's due to a Guard Captain or something. But you have to clear Shu Musou Mode once, so you should have been training your best characer's weapon to about level 8, 9, or even 10. When you do defeat Zhang Lu, Zhang Jiao will cast the spell but it will be weakened, and the spell can be stopped by destroying those glowing ceremonial implements. After that, defeat Zhang Jiao once and for all! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han Forces successfully stop Zhang Jiao and defeat the Yellow Turbans. However, following the rebellion, it is the heinous Dong Zhuo who manages to gain control of the Han Forces and quickly uses their power for his rule of tyranny. He also has the mightiest warrior of the time, Lu Bu. Cao Cao calls an alliance with Yuan Shao as commander and with the alliance, they come to stop Dong Zhuo. The members are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. Battle of Si Shui Gate Region: Xu Chang Bonus: If you take over the supply depot in Si Shui Gate, Sun Jian will gain morale boost in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. If you defeat Hua Xiong, he will not ambush Yuan Shao in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. --- Allied Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Li Jue UNIT INFO Allied Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ------------- ------------------ Yuan Shao Li Jue -Zhang He -Li Meng Yuan Shu -Yang Feng Gongsun Zan Guo Si Cao Cao Li Ru -Random Wei officer Hua Xiong Sun Jian -Hu Zhen -Random Wu officer -Zhao Cen Liu Bei Fan Chou -Random Shu officer -Wang Fang Niou Fu Gao Shun Li Su *Zhang Liao OR Dong Min OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Li Jue. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 You'll start near Guo Si and Li Ru, so go ahead and defeat them both. Sun Jian will request to get provisions from Yuan Shu's supply convoy, but Yuan Shu will refuse saying "Even if I do send the supplies now, the glory will all be Sun Jian's! Do not send out the supply convoy out yet!" (Wow, a guy who wants glory. Geez, Yuan Shu!). Anyway, you have a time limit to take over Fan Chou's supply depot before Hua Xiong charges out of Si Shui Gate. It's not far from Li Ru. It's covered by a wall that you can jump over. Once you see the entrance of the supply depot, Yuan Shao will say "Ah, there is a road there! We can attack the enemy's supply depot from there!". Go ahead and defeat Fan Chou (and his sub-officer Wang Fang if you want to) to take over the supply depot. When Sun Jian says "Good! Our food problem is solved! Now, we attack Si Shui Gate!" you'll get a message saying "Si Shui Gate's first and second gates have opened!" and another message saying "Hua Xiong's unit has charged out of the gates!" The depot's gates will open, allowing you for a shortcut. Then go help Cao Cao take out Li Su and Niou Fu. If you fail to take over the depot in time, eventually Sun Jian will say "Where is the supply convoy? Our morale is dwindling!", a message will say "Si Shui Gate's first and second gates have opened, and Hua Xiong will charge out of the gates. When Sun Jian withdraws, you'll get a message saying "Hua Xiong's unit is charging!" and Yuan Shao saying "Are there no warriors here that can defeat Hua Xiong!?!" If you defeat him (if you want weapon experience to level up your weapon, take out Hua Xiong's two sub-officers Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen before taking Hua Xiong out) you'll get a scene in which you'll announce that you defeated Hua Xiong. If Zhang Liao arrives as reinforcements, he'll attack Yuan Shao. Go and take him out. If you have already unlocked Liao for Wei, then Dong Min will be an enemy reinforcement officer, but won't attack Yuan Shao. Either way, a few minutes after Hua Xiong has been defeated regardless of finding the supply depot or not, Li Jue will withdraw (annoying if you need some weapon experience). Battle of Hu Lao Gate Region: Luo Yang --- Allied Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Allied Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ------------- ------------------ Yuan Shao Dong Zhuo -Yan Liang -Niou Fu -Wen Chou -Fan Chou Yuan Shu -Wang Fang Gongsun Zan Li Ru Cao Cao -Xu Rong -Random Wei officer Li Jue Sun Jian -Jia Xu -Random Wu officer Guo Si Liu Bei -Li Meng -Random Shu officer Diao Chan Zhang Liao OR Dong Min -Gao Shun *Lu Bu *Hua Xiong (Note) *-Hu Zhen (Note) *-Zhao Cen (Note) Note: If you have defeated Hua Xiong in Battle of Si Shui Gate, he, along with Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen, will not appear to ambush Yuan Shao. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Dong Zhuo. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 Your task here is to clear Xuan Wu Gate by defeating Zhang Liao or Dong Min (whoever appears; like Si Shui Gate if you have unlocked Zhang Liao for Wei, Dong Min appears, otherwise Zhang Liao will appear), then helping Sun Jian and Cao Cao out by defeating Guo Si and Li Ru. Then you use the Ram to break down Hu Lao Gate and then opening the gates of Luo Yang and defeating Dong Zhuo. Sounds easy, right? Well, it should be, but there's a big problem. That problem comes in the form of a tall warrior with a deadly halberd and riding on a red horse. Yes, Lu Bu is back. He is so powerful that it's nearly impossible to defeat him without a level 9 weapon (but still possible, use counters). If you don't want to defeat Lu Bu, go ahead and skip him. Just go to Diao Chan and defeat the songstress (who cares if she's beautiful?). That will open up Luo Yang's gates, where Dong Zhuo will set fire to it once you enter it. Go and defeat the remaining officers (besides Lu Bu if you don't want to). If you DO defeat Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo will retreat a few minutes later after you enter Luo Yang. If you are trying to defeat Lu Bu and you take too much time attacking him, Dong Zhuo will eventually open Luo Yang's gates without burning the city and his army will charge. If he does charge, every enemy officer alive will have an eight-star morale. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Tales: Guan Yu's Escape --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Act - I: The Yellow Turban Rebellion, skip The Yellow Turban Menace. In Act - II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo, play Battle of Si Shui Gate first. Do not find the enemy supply depot in Battle of Si Shui Gate, and wait for Sun Jian to withdraw, get a message saying "Hua Xiong's unit is charging!" and Yuan Shao to say "Are there no warriors here that can defeat Hua Xiong?". Then defeat Hua Xiong to get a cutscene where you announce that you defeated Hua Xiong. This tale stage will appear after Act - II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo. Story: After defeating Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei is attacked by and flees from Cao Cao, the Hero of Chaos. Guan Yu serves Cao Cao while being separated from Liu Bei, his oath brother, for the time being, but when Guan Yu learns of his brother's location, he is prepared to return to Liu Bei's forces, and gets a carriage with the wives of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. But Xiahou Dun doesn't like the fact that Guan Yu is leaving Cao Cao's forces. Guan Yu's Escape Region: Xu Chang --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Guan Yu COMMANDER Xiahou Dun UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Cao Cao's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Guan Yu Kong Xiu Carriage Han Fu Bian Xi Hu Ban Qin Qi *Xiahou Dun *Wang Zhi OBJECTIVES: Victory-Guan Yu and Carriage both reach Yellow River. Defeat-Guan Yu or Carriage is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Your job here is to protect both Guan Yu and the carriage holding the wives of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei and escort them to the Huang Yellow River, which is at the end. To open up the gates, just defeat the officers that guard them, and the gate will open up, and the officer's soldiers will flee (well, most of them will, but some will still fight you). Kong Xiu guards the first gate, and defeating him opens it up. Han Fu guards the second gate, and blasting him to hell opens up the second gate. Bian Xi will guard the third gate. If the carriage and Guan Yu get a bit close to the third gate, Bian Xi will launch an ambush. Just defeat him and his soldiers and they won't be a bothersome. Han Fu guards the fourth gate (which is actually Si Shui Gate!). Note that he has A LOT of soldiers. Defeat Han Fu and two things happen: 1. The fourth gate will open up and 2. You will get a message saying "Xiahou Dun is in pursuit!" Xiahou Dun starts WAY BACK at the starting point, but Wang Zhi, obsessed in killing Guan Yu, will ambush you, by closing the fourth gate, and sending in soldiers to attack you. Once all of the soldiers are dead, the gates will open up again, and Wang Zhi will retreat. Defeat him if you want, but make it quick. Qin Qi guards the last gate, and defeating him opens it up. If Xiahou Dun catches you up, defeat him as well. Note that you can get the special item Bodyguard Manual if Xiahou Dun catches up to you AFTER the fifth gate. A message saying "A valuable item has been discovered!" will appear, and the item box will appear near the end. It's in a red box. Once you take Guan Yu to the river, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei will go ahead and greet Guan Yu. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Tales: Heroes of the Han --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: Clear Shu Musou mode one. In Act - II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo, skip Battle of Si Shui Gate. In Battle of Hu Lao Gate, Lu Bu must not be defeated. Story: After successfully defeating Zhang Jiao, the Han forces crush the Yellow Turbans, but Liu Bei and his officers are scattered across the land, and they arrive in Ru Nan, where they are attacked by Cao Cao. Battle of Ru Nan Region: Ru Nan --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Cao Cao's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Liu Bei Cao Cao Zhang Fei Zhang He *Zhao Yun Xu Zhu *Guan Yu Yu Jin *-Guan Ping Yue Jin *-Zhou Cang *Li Dian *Liu Pi *Xiahou Dun *Xiahou Yuan OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 I like this stage. A lot. Very very a lot. Since you had to clear the Shu Musou mode once to unlock this stage, you should have gotten a person with a level 9th or even a 10th weapon. For Liu Bei fans, this is the stage to get Liu Bei's tenth weapon. Anyway, at the start of the battle, Li Dian will arrive at exactly 00'00'31. Defeat Li Dian to open up the east gate of the fortress. Once you enter the castle and meet up with Zhang Fei, or once you wait for exactly 3 minutes, Xiahou Yuan will appear from behind. Go ahead and take him out. Then go and defeat Yu Jin and Xu Zhu. Defeating Xu Zhu will open up the north gate, in which Xiahou Dun will attack you. Go west and fight the guard captain to open up the west gate (sometimes it opens up automatically, but I'm not sure how). By about 5 minutes from the starting time, Guan Yu should have already arrived. Help out the God of War take out Zhang He. Then defeat Xiahou Dun, Yue Jin, and finally Cao Cao. Note that at exactly 10 minutes, Liu Pi will make his appearance somewhere at the west section of the fortress. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Act III: The Flight of Liu Bei ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: After defeating the tyrant Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei and the others go off on their quest to rule China. However, Liu Bei has no land to rule, so he serves Cao Cao, but then leaves him knowing that both warriors cannot co-exist. Then he serves Liu Biao for the time being. Seeing Liu Bei as a threat, Cao Cao decides to attack Liu Bei. Knowing that Liu Bei cannot win, he flees. However, he recruits the great strategist Zhuge Liang to defeat Cao Cao. Battle of Bo Wan Po Region: Ru Nan Bonus: If you clear this battle, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You will not appear in Battle of Chang Ban. Also, if you clear this battle, Cao Cao will have lesser troops in Battle of Chang Ban, and they will not receive any supplies in Battle of Chi Bi. --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Cao Cao's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Liu Bei Cao Cao -Jian Yong -Xu Shu *-Liu Feng Dian Wei *-Guan Ping Xiahou Dun Zhuge Liang Xu Zhu Zhao Yun Yu Jin *Guan Yu Li Dian *Zhang Fei Han Hao Yue Jin OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This battle is fun if you like to ambush the enemy. And this is the battle to get Zhao Yun's tenth weapon. Zhuge Liang, our new strategist, has some cool plans to defeat the enemy. First things first, he'll tell us to lure Xiahou Dun to the fire attack site. The site is the middle path of the three paths that are positioned vertically (up-down). When you are near Xiahou Dun, he'll say, "You have the honor of being my first victim." And you'll get a message saying "Xiahou Dun has fallen for (insert player's officer name)'s taunt and is advancing." That is when you lure him. After the fire attack, Liu Feng will appear and attack. Defeat Xiahou Dun to get a message saying "Han Hao's unit is mobilizing." Then go near Han Hao and he'll say "Your head is mine!" and a message will say "Han Hao has fallen for (insert player's officer name)'s taunt and is advancing." Lure Han Hao to the upper path of the three paths. Guan Ping will then ambush Han Hao. Go ahead and defeat Han Hao when the trap is sprung. Lastly, go near Yu Jin. He'll say "How unfortunate it is for you to face me in battle. Prepare yourself!" and a message will say "Yu Jin has fallen for (insert player's officer name)'s taunt and is advancing." Just lure him to the bridge you had to cross to go to Yu Jin's position, and Guan Yu will appear to ambush Yu Jin. Defeat Yu Jin. Then Zhuge Liang will call for an all-out attack. Go ahead and defeat the remaining enemy officers (which should be Li Dian, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Yue Jin, and Cao Cao's sub- officer, Xu Shu), before taking out Cao Cao. Yes, Xu Zhu and Xu Shu are two different people. Xu Zhu is a playable character, while Xu Shu is not. Don't confuse them. Battle of Chang Ban Region: Nan Territory Bonus: If you clear this stage and find Liu Chan, Zhao Yun will appear in Battle of Chi Bi. --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Cao Cao's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Liu Bei Xiahou Dun Zhang Fei Zhang He Zhao Yun Xiahou Yuan Sun Qian -Jia Xu *Liu Qi Zhu Ling *Guan Yu Xu Huang *Guan Ping -Han Hao Xiahou De -Xiahou En Jia Kui -Li Dian Yu Jin -Yue Jin *Cao Cao *-Cheng Yu (Note) *-Xun Yu (Note) *-Xun You (Note) *Cao Ren *-Cao Hong Note: If you had previously cleared Battle of Bo Wan Po, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You will not appear in this battle. OBJECTIVES: Victory: Defeat Cao Cao, or Liu Bei reaches Escape Point. (Note) Defeat: Liu Bei is defeated. Note: If you are playing this battle as Liu Bei, there will be no escape point and you'll have to defeat Cao Cao to win this battle. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This is my overall favorite stage. You probably won't be able to take out all officers unless you're playing as Liu Bei, because you have to protect Liu Bei and escort him to the escape point, which is all the way south. You can choose which path you want to go. There's a left path which has Xiahou De, his sub-officer Xiahou En, Xiahou Yuan, and his sub-officer Jia Xu. The middle path has A LOT of enemy soldiers, and it also has Zhu Ling, Xu Huang, and his sub-officers, so I recommend you not go there. Also, the moment you set foot into the middle path's fort, Cao Cao's reinforcements will arrive. So, that's not a good idea. And I'm not including the middle path for today. The only time you should take it is if you're playing as Liu Bei. The right path has Xiahou Dun (who's powered up for some reason), and Zhang He. The escape point is guarded by Jia Kui, his sub-officer Li Dian, Yu Jin, and his sub-officer Yue Jin. You just only need to defeat either Jia Kui or Yu Jin to gain access to the escape point. At some point while crossing south to the escape point and escorting Liu Bei, Cao Cao will arrive, along with his cousin Cao Ren and his sub-officer Cao Hong. Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You will also appear if you haven't played and beat Battle of Bo Wan Po. LEFT PATH Help out Zhao Yun take out Xiahou En and Xiahou De. Defeating Xiahou De will trigger Liu Bei to advance to the west path. Clear a path for him by defeating Jia Xu and Xiahou Yuan. Eventually Cao Cao and enemy reinforcements will arrive. Forget about Cao Cao unless you want to end this real quick. When you reach the bridge and it has enemies on it, kill them to have Zhang Fei's yelling event only replaced by you (unless you're playing as Liu Bei). Skip the right path section and continue on. RIGHT PATH Zhang Fei should have a battle with Xiahou Dun. Go ahead and defeat Xiahou Dun to have Liu Bei advance. Then defeat Zhang He, and by now Cao Cao should have arrive. Defeat any enemy soldier on the bridge to get Zhang Fei's yelling event (it works with both the very west bridge and the very east bridge). Cao Ren and Cao Hong will most likely go off to pursue you and Liu Bei. Defeat both of them and you can rest easy. Liu Bei will eventually say to destroy the two bridges south of the central fortress (called Mai Castle) to delay the pursuit of Cao Cao's troops. When you go further south and defeat Jia Kui or Yu Jin, Liu Qi's fleet will arrive, and Liu Qi, Guan Yu, and Guan Ping will appear. Continue clearing a path for Liu Bei to the escape point. If you are playing as Liu Bei, go and defeat either Xiahou Dun or Xiahou De, and then back track to defeat the other Xiahou. Then go left or right to defeat Xiahou Yuan or Zhang He. By now Cao Cao will appear. Also, forget about defeating Jia Kui or Yu Jin yet. Go inside the central fortress and defeat Zhu Ling, Han Hao (Xu Huang's sub-officer), and the many enemy soldiers. Xu Huang will advance to attack you. So defeat him. If you didn't defeat Zhang He but defeat Xiahou Yuan, or if you defeated Zhang He but didn't defeat Xiahou Yuan, the officer that's alive will advance with Cao Cao. Defeat the alive officer, but don't defeat Cao Cao just yet. If Cheng Yu and the two Xuns (Xun Yu and Xun You) are here, defeat them. Defeat Jia Kui (and Li Dian if you can) and/or Yu Jin (and Yue Jin if you can). Liu Qi's fleet will arrive shortly after. Defeat the other officer alive, and then go ahead and take out Cao Cao. Battle of Chi Bi Region: Chi Bi --- Allied Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Allied Forces Cao Cao's Forces ------------- ---------------- Sun Jian Cao Cao -Lu Su -Jia Xu Cheng Pu -Cheng Yu -Zhu Ran Xu Zhu -Zhuge Jin -Man Chong Zhou Yu Zhen Ji -Jiang Qin Cao Ren -Zhu Huan -Xun You Ling Tong Cao Hong Han Dang Yu Jin -Dong Xi -Xun Yu Pan Zhang Cai Mao -Xu Sheng Cao Pi Zhuge Liang -Xu Shu -Pang Tong -Zhu Ling *Zhao Yun (Note) Li Dian *Huang Gai *Yue Jin Note: Zhao Yun will only appear if you found Liu Chan in Battle of Chang Ban. OBJECTIVES: Victory: Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat: Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This battle is going to be the dependence on what act Act V and the Final Act is going to be. For more information, read 'The Fire Attack' section. This walkthrough will show you how to do the fire attack. First off, you'll most likely start off near Zhu Ling. Assuming that you do start near him, go and defeat Zhu Ling as quickly as possible. He is one of Cao Pi's sub-officers. Next you'll have to race it to Xu Shu (NOT Xu Zhu the fat guy! It's Xu Shu, who's some generic strategist). Xu Shu is yet another sub-officer under Cao Pi. He's somewhere at the northwest section. Find him and defeat him. Why? Pant go... err, I mean Pang Tong is going to chain Cao Cao's boats, and if Xu Shu is alive, Pang Tong won't be able to do it. Then defeat Cao Pi and Cai Mao as fast as you can. Take Cao Pi's horse if you don't have one, and race it to Zhuge Liang's altar. Take out Li Dian on the way. The reason why you have to race it to the altar is because once Pang Tong chains the ships, Yue Jin will launch an ambush on Zhuge Liang. So take him out, or else Zhuge Liang won't be able to call the wind for the fire attack. It's the plan: Chain ships, summon wind, burn ships. The chains immobilize the ships, the winds blow to Cao Cao's fleet, and the fire burns up Cao Cao's fleet. After defeating Yue Jin, defeat all other enemy soldiers nearby. Zhao Yun will appear to defend the altar if you found Liu Chan in Battle of Chang Ban. While Zhuge Liang is at the altar, go and defeat Man Chong (Xu Zhu's sub-officer), Xu Zhu, Xun You (Cao Ren's sub-officer), and Cao Ren. When Zhuge Liang summons the wind, go to Zhen Ji's position and defeat her. Also, notice that there's a ship-made bridge? Huang Gai will ride a ship to the east side of the ship. Make sure that you clear the east side of the bridge of enemies. Once you do, while waiting for Huang Gai's fire attack, take out Yu Jin and his sub-officer, Xun Yu. Then go and defeat Cao Hong. When the fire attack is made, defeat Cao Cao and his two sub-officers, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu. If you're playing as Zhuge Liang and you need to call forth the wind, defeat Li Dian. Note that Li Dian will always pursue you if you play as Zhuge Liang. Anyway, defeating Li Dian triggers Zhuge Liang to say "It is almost time. Let us wait for the wind back at the altar." Shortly after, Yue Jin will ambush the altar, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT THERE!!! LOL!!! You can defeat Xu Shu before taking out Li Dian. Then defeat Yue Jin and wait at the altar. Zhuge Liang will then call forth the wind. If you're playing as Pang Tong and you need to chain the ships, defeat Xu Shu. After defeating Xu Shu, you'll get a message saying "Pang Tong's unit has chosen the site for the ploy!" The site is the dock closest to Xu Shu. Get there and Pang Tong will say "This is good. The ships will be stable now." That ensures the chain of the ships. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Act IV: The Three Kingdoms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: After the victory of Liu Bei, Cao Cao falls back for a while. Liu Bei sees the path to restore the Han Dynasty. He plans to take Cheng Du and the Jing Province. Liu Zhang controls Cheng Du and control of Jing has passed from Liu Biao to Cao Cao's forces. Battle of Luo Castle Region: Cheng Du Bonus: If Pang Tong manages to survive this battle, he will appear in The Campaign of Jing and Campaign for Cheng Du. If you defeat Yang Huai and Gao Pei in this battle, they will not appear in Campaign for Cheng Du. If you destroy Jian Yan bridge to capture Zhang Ren, then it will not appear in Campaign for Cheng Du. --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Liu Zhang's Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER Liu Zhang UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Liu Zhang's Forces ---------------- ------------------ Liu Bei Liu Zhang -Ma Liang -Liu Xun -Guan Ping Liu Han Pang Tong Zhang Yi Random Shu officer Yan Yan Random Shu officer Zhang Ren *Zhuge Liang Leng Bao *Guan Yu (Note) Deng Xian *Lei Tong (Note) *-Wu Lan (Note) *Yang Huai *Gao Pei Note: Guan Yu, Lei Tong, and Wu Lan will only appear if you have cleared The Campaign for Jing first. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Zhang. Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 If you have a horse saddle, you can try to save Pang Tong before he is defeated. If not, he will be ambushed by Zhang Ren's forces, and will be defeated easily and quickly. Anyway, defeat all officers outside of Luo Castle. Which should be Leng Bao, Zhang Yi, Liu Han, Deng Xian, and Yan Yan. Also if you have cleared the Campaign for Jing before playing this stage, Lei Tong and Wu Lan will appear as enemy reinforcement troops, so take them out as well. Guan Yu will also appear when Zhuge Liang appears as Shu reinforcements. When Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong announces of a plan to capture Zhang Ren (if Pang Tong is still alive, he will use the plan, and if Pang Tong is not around, Zhuge Liang will use the plan). When Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong say if there's no warrior to defeat him, Zhang Ren will charge out of the gate. Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong will lure Zhang Ren across the Jian Yan bridge (the bridge in the southwest section that goes vertically). After Zhang Ren crosses the bridge, you will be ordered to destroy the bridge. Stand next to it and the bridge will be destroyed. Zhang Ren will then say "Retreat! Fall back to Luo Castle!" and will retreat. Take him out before he does retreat. Note that if you are Pang Tong or Zhuge Liang, Zhang Ren will challenge you to a duel when he sees you when trying to capture him. Anyway, once you capture Zhang Ren, eventually Yang Huai and Gao Pei will appear as enemy reinforcement officers and will head for Liu Bei, so take them out. Once that is done, take out Liu Zhang and his sub-officer and son, Liu Xun. Oh, and for you Pang Tong fans, you can get his tenth weapon in this stage. The Campaign For Jing Region: Yi Ling Bonus: If you clear this stage before clearing Battle of Luo Castle, Lei Tong and Wu Lan will appear as enemy reinforcements, and Guan Yu will appear as Shu reinforcements when Zhuge Liang appears. Also when you clear this stage, you will get supplies in Campaign For Cheng Du. --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Zhuge Liang COMMANDER Han Xuan/Liu Du/Jin Xuan/Zhao Fan UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Cao Cao's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Zhuge Liang Han Xuan -Ma Liang -Yang Ling Zhao Yun Liu Du Zhang Fei -Liu Xian *Guan Yu Jin Xuan *Pang Tong (Note) -Gong Zhi Zhao Fan -Chen Ying -Bao Long Huang Zhong OR Zhang He Wei Yan OR Xiahou Dun *Xing Daorong *Xiahou Yuan *Cao Ren Note: Pang Tong will only appear if he survives in Battle of Luo Castle. OBJECTIVES: Victory: Occupy Chang Sha, Gui Yang, Wu Ling, and Ling Ling. Defeat-Zhuge Liang is defeated. (Note) Note: If you are using Liu Bei, Liu Bei will be commander and Defeat will change to 'Liu Bei is defeated.' TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 To Wei Yan fans, this stage is where you get is tenth weapon. After Zhuge Liang says his instructions, Xing Daorong will appear with his maniac attitude (his maniac quote: "Ha ha ha! I will destroy them all!") and will ambush you. Defeat the maniac (Can't get quote out of head!) and then head to Ling Ling. Liu Du guards it, and defeating him will have Liu Bei's Forces occupying it, which is the first part of the stage (it's a campaign! Duh!). Next, Zhao Yun will march upwards to Gui Yang, where Zhao Fan is, and Zhang Fei will march west to Wu Ling, where Jin Xuan guards it. Approaching either one of them will have the gates open. When Wu Ling's gates open, Jin Xuan will mobilize, and challenge you to a duel. He's easy to beat if you're good a duels. If you approach Gui Yang, Chen Ying and Bao Long will mobilize and attack. Defeating both of Zhao Fan's sub-officers will have Zhao Fan retreat, and therefore occupying Gui Yang. Either way, when you do occupy either Gui Yang or Wu Ling, Guan Yu will eventually appear as reinforcements, and Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren will appear as enemy reinforcements and will attack Zhuge Liang. Unless you're using Liu Bei, defeat them both to protect Zhuge Liang because if Zhuge Liang dies, it's game over. When that's over, occupy the other city you didn't occupy yet, and then head to Chang Sha Castle, where Han Xuan is. While heading towards there, Pang Tong, if he survived in Battle of Luo Castle, will eventually appear as reinforcements. Defeat Han Xuan's sub-officer Yang Ling to open up Chang Sha Castle's gate. If Huang Zhong appears in this stage (Xiahou Dun and Zhang He appears if you have unlocked Huang Zhong and Wei Yan), you will get a message saying "Huang Zhong's unit has charged out from Chang Sha Castle!", and if he, Wei Yan, and Han Xuan are the only enemy officers left, defeat Huang Zhong but do not defeat Wei Yan, but be careful, because Huang Zhong and Wei Yan are both powered up. You'll get a message saying "Huang Zhong is withdrawing!" Wait for a while, and you'll see a scene where Han Xuan is about to execute Huang Zhong for failure and treason, but instead Wei Yan kills Han Xuan and will have deserted the ranks of Cao Cao's forces. If you've unlocked Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, then Xiahou Dun and Zhang He will replace them. Defeat them and then defeat Han Xuan to end the stage. Campaign For Cheng Du Region: Cheng Du --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Liu Zhang's Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER Liu Zhang UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Liu Zhang's Forces ---------------- ------------------ Liu Bei Liu Xun -Liu Feng -Yan Yan Zhuge Liang -Lei Tong Pang Tong (Note) -Wu Lan Zhang Fei -Fei Guan Random Shu officer Liu Han Random Shu officer -Zhang Yi *Guan Ping (Note) Deng Xian -Leng Bao Li Yan *Yang Huai (Note) *Gao Pei (Note) *Ma Chao OR Pang De *Ma Dai *Liu Zhang Note: Pang Tong will only appear if he survives in Battle of Luo Castle. Guan Ping will only appear if you lure Li Yan into his ambush. Yang Huai and Gao Pei will not appear if you defeated them in Battle of Luo Castle. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Zhang. Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 To those that like Ma Chao, you can get his Stallion Fury weapon here. From the start of this stage, go and fight Li Yan. If you want to capture and ambush Li Yan, fight him for a while until Zhuge Liang says "Ambush parties have been positioned southeast of Mian Zhu. Lure Li Yan's unit in that direction." In case you didn't know, Mian Zhu is the whole forest. You'll get a message saying "Preparations to capture Li Yan are complete!" Lure Li Yan's unit to the designated site at the southeast corner of Mian Zhu Forest (near the gate captain) and Guan Ping will appear to ambush Li Yan. Defeat Li Yan and he will be successfully captured. Now you can choose which way you want to go to when approaching Cheng Du. If you choose the Mian Zhu forest, be prepared for ambushes. You will also encounter Liu Xun's sub-officers in this route. If you go south, Leng Bao, Zhang Yi, Deng Xian, and Liu Han will engage you in battle. Note that if you defeat all officers except Liu Xun and without approaching Liu Xun, you will get a message saying "It appears Liu Zhang is considering surrender!". That is vital to get Liu Zhang to surrender. Getting Liu Zhang to surrender in Campaign for Cheng Du is vital to get Shu's fourth ending. Anyway, once you approach Cheng Du, enemy reinforcements will appear. If you haven't unlocked Ma Chao yet, Ma Chao will appear. Defeat him to unlock him for the Shu army. If you have unlocked Ma Chao, then Pang De will appear as an enemy reinforcement officer. Also Ma Dai will appear behind Luo Castle, and Yang Huai and Gao Pei will make their appearance at the southeast section. Note that if you have defeated Yang Huai and Gao Pei in Battle of Luo Castle, then they will not appear. Defeat every officer in the battlefield. If Liu Zhang appears, then go and smack him dead until he's dead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Tales: The Fury of Ma Chao ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Act - IV: The Three Kingdoms, skip Battle of Luo Castle. When playing Campaign For Cheng Du, defeat Ma Chao or Pang De when he appears as enemy reinforcements (whoever appears, if Ma Chao has not been unlocked, Ma Chao will appear, if Ma Chao has been unlocked, Pang De will appear). This tale stage will appear after Shu - Act IV: The Three Kingdoms. Story: Liu Bei gains the lands of Cheng Du and Jing Province, but Cao Cao leads an attack onto Han Zhong through Tong Gate. Liu Bei sends his newly appointed warrior, Ma Chao, to guard Tong Gate. For Ma Chao, Cao Cao is a hated warrior, who was responsible for killing his father, Ma Teng. Battle of Tong Gate Region: Luo Yang --- Liu Bei's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Ma Chao COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Cao Cao's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Ma Chao Cao Cao -Ma Dai -Jia Xu -Pang De -Xu Zhu Han Sui (Note) Xu Huang -Li Kan (Note) -Yu Jin -Yang Qiu (Note) Cao Ren -Hou Xuan (Note) Dian Wei Cheng Yin Xiahou Yuan Cheng Yi Cao Hong *Pang Tong (Note) -Zhu Ling *Zhang Fei (Note) *Han Sui *-Li Kan (Note) *-Yang Qiu (Note) *-Hou Xuan (Note) Note: Han Sui will only defect to Cao Cao's Forces if any of these three conditions are met: 1. Han Sui has begun battle with Xu Huang and his morale is lower than Cao Cao. 2. One of Han Sui's sub-officers (Li Kan, Hou Xuan, or Yang Qiu) is defeated. 3. Han Sui has lost a quite big number of soldiers. Pang Tong and Zhang Fei will only appear as reinforcements if Han Sui defects. To prevent Han Sui's defection, defeat Xu Huang as quickly as possible when Xu Huang and Cao Cao attack Tong Gate from the north. (Thanks to Clement Chong for Han Sui's defection.) OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Ma Chao is defeated. (Note) TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Note: If you use Liu Bei, Liu Bei will become commander and Defeat will change to Liu Bei is defeated. From the start of the battle, attack either Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, Cao Hong's sub-officer Zhu Ling, or Cao Hong. Just defeat one of them. Once you do, Ma Chao will insult the Wei forces ("Pathetic! Is this the extent of Wei's power?") and that'll boost up your morale. Xu Huang will then say "We'll cross Wei Shui and attack Tong Gate from the north!" and shortly after Cao Cao and Xu Huang will lay a bridge across Wei Shui river and attack from the north. If you want to prevent Han Sui's defection, here's a tip: DROP WHATEVER THE HELL YOU'RE DOING AND DEFEAT XU HUANG!!! The reason (which I stated already) is that if Han Sui has begun battle with Xu Huang, he'll automatically defect. Don't worry, after defeating Xu Huang, you can go defeat the others as well. Go and take out the officers at the southeast section that you haven't killed yet. When you approach Cao Ren, you'll see a scene of the Ice Fortress and Ma Chao saying "What? That castle wasn't there before!" and Shu morale will drop a bit (huh?). Take out Cao Ren and the Ice Fortress's gates will open. Defeat the many soldiers of Cao Cao if you want to lower Cao Cao's morale. Xu Zhu (why is he a sub-officer?) will automatically challenge you to a duel. Take him out (easy in a duel) and take out Jia Xu as well. If Han Sui does defect, take him out, but you may as well take out his sub-officers first before taking the traitorous bastard out. Once he's down (if he does defect, that is) go take out Cao Cao. If Han Sui doesn't defect, well, leave him there, because he's not going to do anything anyway. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Act V: The Fall of Wei ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Zhuge Liang's wind summon in Battle of Chi Bi succeeds, then Shu - Act V will be the Fall of Wei. Story: After gaining the lands of Cheng Du and Jing Province, Liu Bei's power and army steadily increases. Cao Cao, regaining power after the loss at Chi Bi, strikes forward to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei goes forward to defeat Cao Cao once and for all. Battle of Mt. Ding Jun Region: Han Zhong Bonus: Defeating Xiahou Shang before he reaches Wei's front lines will cause Xiahou Dun to get revenge for him when he appears in Battle of Wu Zhang Plains. --- Shu Forces VS Wei Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER 1. Xiahou Yuan 2. Cao Cao UNIT INFO Shu Forces Wei Forces ---------- ---------- Liu Bei Xiahou Yuan -Chen Shi -Xiahou Shang -Fa Zheng Yang Xiu Random Shu officer Zhang He Huang Zhong -Han Hao -Yan Yan Xiahou De *Zhao Yun *Cao Cao *Ma Su (Note) *Cao Zhang Note: Ma Su will only appear if you cleared Battle of Jie Ting first before playing Battle of Mt. Ding Jun. OBJECTIVES: Victory-1. Defeat Xiahou Yuan. 2. Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 You can try to take out Xiahou Shang before he returns to Wei's main camp. If he does go in the archer area, forget about it, then. You can take him out later, anyway. Go east and upward until you find Xiahou De in Mt. Ding Jun. Defeat Xiahou De and Mt. Ding Jun is yours, and Huang Zhong will say "Ah, from here we can see the enemy camp! I will charge down and take out the commander!" If you charge down when Mt. Ding Jun's gates open, your character will command to charge down. On the way, defeat Zhang He's sub-officer Han Hao. Huang Zhong will avoid combat entirely until he sees Xiahou Yuan, in which he'll fight him and you'll get a message saying "Huang Zhong has been isolated!" Approach Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He and they will ALWAYS challenge you to a duel. Defeating Xiahou Yuan will trigger the timely arrival of Cao Cao, along with a Wei party at the east led by Cao Zhang. Backtrack and defeat Cao Zhang first. Then go back and defeat Yang Xiu, and finally Cao Cao. Battle of Jie Ting Region: Wu Zhang Plains Bonus: If you clear this stage, Zhuge Liang's supply unit will appear in Battle of Wu Zhang Plains. If you clear this stage before playing Battle of Mt. Ding Jun, then Ma Su will appear as a Shu reinforcement officer. --- Shu Forces VS Wei Forces Zhuge Liang COMMANDER Sima Yi UNIT INFO Shu Forces Wei Forces ---------- ---------- Zhuge Liang Sima Yi -Yue Ying Cao Zhen Ma Su Zhang He -Wang Ping Xu Huang -Gao Xiang -Jia Kui -Liao Hua Xiahou Yuan (Note) Random Shu officer Wei Yan Note: If you have previously cleared Battle of Mt. Ding Jun, then Xiahou Yuan will appear as an enemy reinforcement officer. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sima Yi Defeat-Zhuge Liang or Ma Su is defeated. (Note) Note: If you are playing as Liu Bei, Liu Bei will be commander and Defeat will change to Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Your mission is to rescue Ma Su who is surrounded by the Wei forces led by Sima Yi, Wei's top strategist (but Guo Jia still beats him). First off go and head for Zhang He, who is heading at the south gate and fighting Gao Xiang. If you and Zhang He get too close to the gate, he'll set the gate on fire, but you can still rescue Ma Su. Defeat Zhang He, and then open the gate. If the gate is on fire, then go back and head for the west gate. Jia Kui will be on the way, so take him out. Then go to Xu Huang's position and defeat Xu Huang, and open the west gate. Then go to the north gate from inside Ma Su's camp, and the gate will open automatically. Defeat Sima Zhao and Xiahou Yuan. Note that if you have previously cleared Battle of Mt. Ding Jun, Xiahou Yuan will appear as a reinforcement unit. If you have, then wait for him. He appears at the top left enemy gate. When you defeat all officers surrounding Ma Su, Zhuge Liang will say "Ma Su should be fine now. All we have to do now is to destroy the enemy camp." and then the Shu officers will head straight to the enemy camp. Take out Cao Zhen first, before dealing with Sima Yi. Once Sima Yi is down, then victory is Shu's! Battle of Wu Zhang Plains Region: Wu Zhang Plains --- Shu Forces VS Wei Forces Zhuge Liang COMMANDER 1. Sima Yi 2. Cao Cao UNIT INFO Shu Forces Wei Forces ---------- ---------- Zhuge Liang Sima Yi Ma Dai -Sima Zhao Guan Ping -Xin Pi -Guan Xing -Wang Lang Wang Ping -Jia Kui Wei Yan Zhang He -Zhang Yi Zhen Ji Jiang Wei *-Li Dian Liao Hua Cao Hong -Xiahou Ba Cao Pi -Xiahou Wei Xiahou Yuan -Xiahou Hui -Xiahou He *Xiahou Dun *Cao Cao *-Cao Zhen *-Cao Zhang OBJECTIVES: Victory-1. Defeat Sima Yi. 2. Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Zhuge Liang is defeated. (Note) Note: If you are using Liu Bei, Liu Bei will be commander and Defeat will change to Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 You have three paths: The left path, the middle path, and the right path. The left path has Cao Hong, his sub-officer Xiahou Ba, and Zhang He. You can't access the middle path yet because the gate to it is closed. Xiahou Yuan and his two sons Xiahou He and Xiahou Hui are in the middle path and will eventually charge out. The right path has Cao Pi, his sub-officer Xiahou Wei, and Zhen Ji. Also Li Dian will ambush you if you defeat the guard captain on the right path, go up to Sima Zhao and Zhen Ji and then come out of the gate. LEFT PATH Enter the fort and defeat Xiahou Ba. Then go and take out Cao Hong as well. Then go up and defeat the guard captain that leads to Zhang He. When you get to Zhang He's position area, Zhang He will say "Crossbow unit stand by! I'll annihilate the Shu forces in one glorious blow!" and you'll get a message saying "Enemy archers have appeared!" Zhuge Liang will then say "Use the Arbalest to combat the archers!" and you'll get a funny scene where the Arbalest (it's a machine that can fire lots of arrows at once) shoots out arrows and misses one Wei target, and that one says "Hey! What happened?" and also, this scene automatically eliminates all of the archers. Take out Zhang He now. RIGHT PATH Go up and defeat Xiahou Wei and Cao Pi. Then go and continue. Defeat the Guard Captain. When you enter the gate, Sima Zhao will launch a fire attack, but all it really is is some ambush of bombadiers (that's a fire attack?) that throw bombs. Defeat Sima Zhao to stop the fire attack. Also take out Zhen Ji. And if you trigger Sima Zhao's fire attack and then walk back to the exit of the east gate, Li Dian will appear as an ambush officer. Eventually you'll see a scene where Zhuge Liang does a fake death animation. Sima Yi will think that Zhuge Liang really is dead and then have the Wei officers charge out. Xiahou Yuan will charge out. Take out Xiahou He and Xiahou Hui before taking out Xiahou Yuan. Then go and defeat all other officers. When the gates of the castle where Sima Yi is opens, Sima Yi will charge, and Xiahou Dun will appear as enemy reinforcements. Defeat him as well. Try to defeat as many officers as you can because eventually you'll get a scene where Sima Yi finds Zhuge Liang alive. Don't take Sima Yi out yet. Wait at the main camp where Zhuge Liang is, because when Sima Yi reaches his castle, Cao Cao will appear and Cao Zhang and Cao Zhen will assault Zhuge Liang's main camp. Take them out and all of the Wei soldiers near the main camp. After that, defeat Sima Yi's remaining sub-officers, Sima Yi, and finally Cao Cao. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Act V: The Fall of Wu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Zhuge Liang's wind summon at Battle of Chi Bi fails, then Shu - Act V will be The Fall of Wu. Story: While attacking Wei, Wu demands to have the Jing province back. Soon, the Sun family will become an enemy of Shu that will have to be dealt with. Guan Yu marches to Fan Castle and uses a flood attack he accumulated from the rainstorms. Zhuge Liang travels to Nan Zhong and prepares to attack the Nanman forces who are causing mayhem to the southern lands of the Shu territory. The Wu officers Lu Meng and Lu Xun try to make an attack behind Guan Yu's back to recapture the Jing province. Battle of Fan Castle Region: Xiang Yang --- Shu Forces VS Allied Forces Guan Yu COMMANDER Cao Ren UNIT INFO Shu Forces Allied Forces ---------- ------------- Guan Yu Cao Ren Guan Ping Pang De Zhou Cang Yu Jin Mi Fang *Jiang Qin Fu Shi Ren *Mi Fang *Fu Shi Ren *Lu Meng *Lu Xun *Zhou Tai *Xu Huang OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat all Wei officers. Defeat-Guan Yu is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 This battle can be easy or hard. You start near the west gate of Fan Castle, so defeat the guard captain to open up the gate. Skip Pang De and defeat Cao Ren but watch out, for he has A LOT of troops next to him. Then defeat Pang De as quick as possible. Then go down and defeat Yu Jin. Note that the instant Cao Ren is damaged Xu Huang will appear. Forget about him for now. When Jiang Qin appears (he should appear as you fight the three Wei officers) Mi Fang and Fu Shi Ren will defect the instant they fight Jiang Qin. When they defect, they'll spread rumors to the Shu soldiers and Shu soldiers will gradually defect to the enemy forces. Guan Ping will say "Mi Fang is spreading false rumors! Troops are beginning to desert our ranks! Father we must punish the traitors!" Defeat Fu Shi Ren and Mi Fang ASAP to stop your soldiers from defecting. Note that Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Zhou Tai will appear the instant Guan Ping says to defeat the traitors. They'll most likely charge straight to Guan Yu. If any of the Wu officers don't, lure them to Guan Yu and fight them. Always fight alongside Guan Yu, and if the Wu officers aren't charging, then lure them ASAP. Once all other officers are defeated, defeat Xu Huang. The Nanman Campaign Region: Nan Zhong Bonus: If you clear this stage before playing Battle of Fan Castle, Nanman armor troops will appear when playing Battle of Fan Castle. If you clear this stage and then in Battle of Yi Ling Lu Xun's fire attack succeeds, Meng Huo will appear as a Shu reinforcement officer. --- Shu Forces VS Nanman Forces Zhuge Liang COMMANDER Meng Huo UNIT INFO Shu Forces Nanman Forces ---------- ------------- Zhuge Liang Meng Huo (Note) -Random Shu officer -Meng You (Note) -Guan Suo -Mang Yachang Random Shu officer -Dailai Dongzhu -Wang Ping Zhu Rong -Zhang Yi Wu Tugu *Ahui Nan (Note) King Mulu *Dong Tu Ne (Note) King Duosi *Ma Dai (Note) Jinhuan Sanjie *-Ma Su (Note) Dong Tu Ne *-Lu Kai (Note) Ahui Nan *Yang Feng (Note) Yong Kai -Gao Ding -Zhu Bao *Yang Feng Note: Meng Huo will make 7 appearances, but once you enter the Nanman base, Meng Huo will skip all 7 appearances and just teleport to the base. Meng You will appear 2 times. Defeat Meng You once and when Meng Huo appears for the fourth time, Meng You will also make his second appearance. To get Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne to defect to Shu, defeat three enemy officers without defeating Meng Huo for the first time. Ma Dai will only appear if Zhuge Liang is attacked by the Nanman troops. Yang Feng will defect to Shu when you defeat Meng Huo when he appears for the fourth time. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Meng Huo. Defeat-Zhuge Liang is defeated. (Note) Note: If you are using Liu Bei, then Liu Bei will be commander and Defeat will change to Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 AHH!!! THE DEVIL!!! This is undoubtedly the hardest battle to most players, including me. However, Clement Chong managed to find an easy way to beat this stage. You see, you'll have to deal with never-ending enemy troops, enemy reinforcements that appear every seven minutes, climate that lowers the Shu morale, poisonous swamps, elephants, and last but not beast fighting Meng Huo seven times. You will most likely take 10 to 20 tries because either you die or Zhuge Liang dies if you're not Liu Bei. To start off, Yong Kai and his two sub-officers Gao Ding and Zhu Bao will attack Zhuge Liang's main camp. Defeat Gao Ding and Zhu Bao to lower Yong Kai's morale, BUT DO NOT DEFEAT YONG KAI! There are two reasons why: 1. If you defeat Yong Kai, Meng Huo nearby will raid Shu's main camp and 2. If Zhuge Liang's forces defeat Yong Kai, Zhuge Liang will get a morale boost. That being said, leave Yong Kai and head for Jinhuan Sanjie's position. Defeat Jinhuan Sanjie to have Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne defect. Next, you will have to lower Meng Huo's morale down 2 stars. Back track to the east route and continue downwards and follow the trail. You'll find Meng You, who is one of Meng Huo's sub-officers. Defeat Meng You to lower Meng Huo's morale. Then continue going through the path and you'll find Mang Yachang, another one of Meng Huo's sub-officers. Note that you'll also trigger a scene with elephants attacking when going near Mang Yachang. This scene will lower Shu's morale. After defeating Mang Yachang, go to Zhu Rong's position. Zhu Rong will immediately challenge you to a duel. Defeat her in a duel. That will help Shu morale increase. Then go and defeat King Mulu. After that, circle to King Duosi's area. Note that when you approach King Duosi, Yang Feng will appear. Ignore him and defeat King Duosi. Then approach Wu Tugu. When you see the Nanman armor troops, a soldier will say "That armor can't be pierced by arrows?" and Zhuge Liang will say "Nanman armor is quite resistant to blades and arrows. I have a plan. Please stall the enemy a short while." Do not defeat Wu Tugu, instead retreat back to the main camp. Use this time to do the following: If Yong Kai is still alive, whittle his HP to almost zero but let a soldier from Zhuge Liang take the final kill. After that, defeat lots of Meng Huo's soldiers until Meng Huo's morale is at zero. When Wu Tugu gets to somewhere near where King Duosi's position was originally before you defeated him, you'll see a scene where Zhuge Liang uses a fire arrow attack to wipe out Wu Tugu and his armor troops. When Meng Huo's morale is at zero, defeat him each time he appears. Yang Feng will defect when Meng Huo appears for the fourth time and you defeat Meng Huo for the fourth time. Also, when Meng Huo makes his fourth appearance, Meng You will make a second appearance near Huo's position. Battle of Yi Ling Region: Yi Ling --- Shu Forces VS Wu Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER Sun Jian UNIT INFO Shu Forces Wu Forces ---------- --------- Liu Bei Sun Jian -Wu Lan -Cheng Pu -Lei Tong -Ding Feng Zhao Yun Lu Xun -Zhang Bao -Zhu Huan Yan Yan *-Zhu Ran (Note) Guan Xing Lu Meng -Guan Suo -Pan Zhang Ma Liang Jiang Qin -Wang Ping Ling Tong Ma Dai -Han Dang Random Shu officer Taishi Ci *Zhuge Liang (Note) -Xu Sheng *Meng Huo (Note) *Da Qiao *Xiao Qiao *Zhou Tai Note: Zhuge Liang will only appear if Lu Xun's fire attack succeeds. He will also create a waterway as a shortcut to Sun Jian. Meng Huo will only appear if you have cleared The Nanman Campaign and then having Lu Xun's fire attack succeeding. Zhu Ran will only appear if you go to the watchtower when you get the message that Zhuge Liang wants tighter security around the watchtower. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sun Jian. Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 At the start of the battle, defeat Xu Sheng, and Taishi Ci. Try to defeat them as soon as possible. A soldier will eventually say "Message from Lord Zhuge Liang. He says to tighten security around the watchtower." The watchtower will be marked with an indicated ping and is at the top right corner of Shu's camp (not inside the castle, it's outside). When you get there, you should find Zhu Ran and two task leaders. Here's the deal: If Zhu Ran is alive and the two task leaders go in too deep into the Shu camp, they will set fire to it. If you defeat Zhu Ran but the two task leaders are alive, they will set fire to it if they're near the top right edge of the camp. If you defeat them all then the fire attack will fail. If the fire attack succeeds, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Zhou Tai will ambush the main camp, Take them out. Liu Bei will enter the Stone Sentinel Maze to get inside the castle (called Bai Di castle for some reason, when in The Campaign For Jing it's called Chang Sha, oh well). If the fire attack fails, then you're fine, but Zhuge Liang won't appear, and Lu Xun will become desperate and order an attack. Ma An Gate (the gate that Lu Meng guards) will open, and Ling Tong and Han Dang will charge out. Take out Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Lu Meng, Han Dang, and Ling Tong now. Then proceed to Wu's main camp. Defeat Cheng Pu to open up the gate to Sun Jian's camp. Once you enter the gate, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Zhou Tai will ambush the camp. Go and defeat them. Once that's over, take out the remaining Wu officers (or as Zhang Fei says in the opening scene for this act, Sun punks). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Tales: Dong Zhuo Lives! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Shu - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo, when playing Battle of Hu Lao Gate, allow Dong Zhuo to retreat and escape. Then in Shu - Act III: The Flight of Liu Bei, make Zhuge Liang's wind summon succeed. Then, with Shu - Act V as The Fall of Wei, skip Battle of Mt. Ding Jun. This tale stage will appear after Shu - Act V: The Fall of Wei. Story: After barely surviving the attack from the allied forces at Hu Lao Gate, Dong Zhuo flees. He regains some of his lost power and then attacks at Han Zhong. Liu Bei, who volunteered in the allied forces of Yuan Shao to fight Dong Zhuo, rises up to once again defeat Dong Zhuo.

Defeat-East Fortress or West Fortress is taken. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Well, Dong Zhuo has made a comeback for revenge, but I hope he does realize Yuan Shao has been already dead. Oh yeah, whoever you choose will be the commander for Shu this time, and believe it or not, Liu Bei doesn't even show up unless you use him. You have to protect two fortresses. The enemy officers will attack the fortress at the same time. Xu Rong, Niou Fu, and Wang Fang will automatically duel you, though, and defeating them gives you a big advantage. Just defeat the enemy officers ASAP. When Guo Si goes down, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and Zhang Ji will mobilize. Defeat them to win! Ma Chao (or Huang Zhong if you use Ma Chao) will appear as the first Shu reinforcement officer, and Yue Ying (or Wei Yan if you use Yue Ying) will appear as the second and last Shu reinforcement officer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Tales: Tian Shui's Prodigy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Shu - Act III: The Flight of Liu Bei, skip Battle of Bo Wan Po. In Battle of Chi Bi, make Zhuge Liang's wind summon fail. Story: Zhuge Liang travels through Han Zhong. He then finds himself in Tian Shui, guarded by Cao Cao's vassal Ma Zun. Zhuge Liang makes his attack against the Wei forces. Battle of Tian Shui Region: Wu Zhang Plains --- Shu Forces VS Wei Forces Zhuge Liang COMMANDER Ma Zun UNIT INFO Shu Forces Wei Forces ---------- ---------- Zhuge Liang Ma Zun -Fa Zheng Wang Lang Zhang Fei Yin Shang Guan Xing Liang Xu Zhang Bao Jiang Wei OR Cao Ren *Jiang Wei (Note) -Hu Zhi *Yin Shang (Note) -Zhu Ling *Liang Xu (Note) Xiahou Mao Xiahou De Note: Jiang Wei, Yin Shang, and Liang Xu will only defect if you follow Zhuge Liang's plans. Also, if you have unlocked Jiang Wei and you are playing this stage a second time, Cao Ren will replace Jiang Wei. If Cao Ren appears, Yin Shang and Liang Xu will not defect. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Occupy Tian Shui Castle and Ji Castle. Defeat-Zhuge Liang is defeated. (Note) Note: If you are using Liu Bei, then Liu Bei will be commander and Defeat will change to Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Well, it seems we're attacking an isolated force of Wei. If you don't have Jiang Wei yet, then follow this guide. Defeat Wang Lang, Xiahou De, and Xiahou Mao, and don't enter either Ji Castle (the north castle) or Tian Shui Castle (the east castle). When Ma Zun says "Jiang Wei! Why do you not leave your castle and fight? Are you secretly in league with the Shu army?" and Jiang Wei responds "You misunderstand! Zhuge Liang is a devious man! I had to watch him closely!" Jiang Wei will advance. Zhuge Liang will tell you to defeat Hu Zhi and Zhu Ling, so do that. When you defeat them, what happenes is that Ma Zun accuses Jiang Wei of being a traitor, and Jiang Wei will say "There's nowhere left to run or hide..." After he says that, Zhuge Liang will go up the bridge. Lure Jiang Wei to Zhuge Liang and he will be proposed to join Shu, at which Ji Castle will be taken. Head to Tian Shui Castle, and you should get a message saying "Jiang Wei's agent has infiltrated Tian Shui Castle!" and eventually Yin Shang and Liang Xu will defect. Now take out Ma Zun. If you do have Jiang Wei, then follow this guide. Cao Ren will replace Jiang Wei. Defeat Xiahou Mao, Wang Lang, and Xiahou De. When Cao Ren advances, defeat Hu Zhi and Zhu Ling and Cao Ren will retreat. Ji Castle will then be taken. Head to Tian Shui Castle and defeat Yin Shang and Liang Xu and Ma Zun will surrender. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu - Final Act: The End Of The Three Kingdoms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Act V was the Fall of Wei, then the stages from The Fall of Wu will appear here, and if Act V was the Fall of Wu, then the stages from The Fall of Wei will appear here. After that, a final battle between one of the kingdoms will begin. Battle of Xu Chang Region: Xu Chang --- Shu Forces VS Wei Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Shu Forces Wei Forces ---------- ---------- Liu Bei Cao Cao -Zhang Bao -Jia Xu Zhuge Liang *-Jia Kui Yue Ying Sima Yi -Yan Yan -Sima Zhao Guan Xing Xiahou Dun Ma Dai -Cao Hong -Guan Ping Dian Wei -Zhang Yi -Deng Ai Random Shu officer -Hu Zhi -Liao Hua Zhen Ji Cao Xiu Man Chong *Xu Zhu *-Cao Zhang *Pang De *-Xin Pi OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 From the start of the battle, go south to Wu Ru Guan's gates and defeat Cao Xiu and Zhen Ji. Then take out Cao Hong. If Xiahou Dun challenges you to a duel, defeat him in a duel then. When the siege ramp appears, Sima Yi will say "The Siege Ramp... It is as expected. Let us begin!" and Xu Zhu, along with Cao Zhang, will launch an ambush at the supply depot. If Guan Xing dies, the supply depot will fall. SAVE THE SUPPLY DEPOT! If you don't, losing the supply depot means that you'll suffer from a massive morale loss. Defeat Man Chong as quick as possible along the way, and when you do reach the depot, defeat Xu Zhu (and Cao Zhang if you want to). Then defeat Sima Zhao and Xiahou Dun if you haven't yet. When the siege ramp bridges to Xu Chang, you'll get a message saying "Enemy forces outside the castle have begun to retreat!" and Zhuge Liang will be suspicious of something. Yes, Sima Yi DOES indeed have a plan. He has put gunpowder inside the west courtyard of Xu Chang castle and will plan to blow up all soldiers to kingdom come, enemy and ally alike. However, this explosion doesn't affect officers. Take out Hu Zhi first. Then defeat Deng Ai. Eventually you'll get a scene where more troops will assault the supply depot. Jia Kui will appear among the troops. Defeat all of the soldiers and Jia Kui to protect it. If you head towards Dian Wei from the south, Pang De and Xin Pi will ambush you. It's much better to take out officers from the west courtyard. Defeat Sima Yi and Jia Xu (Jia Xu is up the stairs and on the roof of the castle wall). Then take out Dian Wei and finally Cao Cao once and for all! Battle of Jian Ye Region: Wu Territory --- Shu Forces VS Wu Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER 1. Sun Jian 2. Sun Ce 3. Sun Quan 4. Sun Shang Xiang UNIT INFO Shu Forces Wu Forces ---------- --------- Liu Bei Sun Jian -Liao Hua Sun Ce Ma Dai Sun Quan -Guan Xing Sun Shang Xiang Random Shu officer Taishi Ci -Yan Yan -Zhu Ran -Zhang Yi -Ding Feng Random Shu officer Zhou Tai -Zhang Bao -Xu Sheng -Guan Ping -Sun Shao Huang Gai -Jiang Qin *Zhuge Jin OBJECTIVES: Victory-1. Defeat Sun Jian. 2. Defeat Sun Ce. 3. Defeat Sun Quan. 4. Defeat Sun Shang Xiang. Defeat-Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This one is hard. You have three paths to take. The left path has Taishi Ci, and his two sub-officers, Zhu Ran and Ding Feng. The middle path has Huang Gai and his sub-officer Jiang Qin. The right path has Zhou Tai and his two sub-officers, Xu Sheng and Sun Shao. Now here's the deal. When you defeat one of the sub-officers, you'll see a scene where Sun Jian has been spotted in... multiple locations? Yep, it's attack of the clones. If you defeat one of the fake Sun Jians, another fake Sun Jian appears with Zhuge Jin behind Liu Bei's camp. Defeat Zhuge Jin and the fake Sun Jian. Your best bet is to take out all officers' sub-officers and all Sun Jian clones. Oh yeah, the real Sun Jian is at the fort to the bottom. But here's the trick, you see, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang will spawn infinitely unless you defeat the REAL Sun Jian. Then Sun Ce will be the Wu commander and Sun Quan and Sun Shang Xiang will spawn infinitely. Once you defeat Sun Ce, Sun Quan takes over as commander, and Sun Shang Xiang spawns infinitely. Get the pattern? After Sun Quan is defeated, Sun Shang Xiang takes over commander. Luckily, defeating her when she's commander ends the stage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ \ /\ / |__ | \/ \/ |__ | Wei Musou Mode --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Act I - A Hero of Chaos --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han Forces has been rebelled by a sect of people who believes in Heaven and summons magic. This sect is known as the Yellow Turbans, because all of the members of this sect wear yellow scarves on their heads. The leader of this sect is Zhang Jiao. The Han Imperial Forces now set off to fight the Yellow Turban. Among these men fighting against the Yellow Turbans are the Shu founder Liu Bei, the Wei founder Cao Cao, and the Wu founder, Sun Jian. The Yellow Turban Menace Region: Xu Province Bonus: Defeating Zhang Liang here will cause him to not appear in The Yellow Turban Rebellion. --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans Huangfu Song COMMANDER Zhang Liang UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- Huangfu Song Zhang Liang Cao Cao -Han Xian -Random Wei officer Zhang Man Cheng -Random Wei officer Guan Hai Sun Jian Gao Sheng -Random Wu officer Deng Mao -Random Wu officer Huang Shao Liu Bei Liu Pi -Random Shu officer *He Yi -Random Shu officer *Yan Zheng OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Liang. Defeat-Huangfu Song is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 The Wei army starts near the west gate this time, but everything else is almost identical. I'll post a walkthrough anyway. Since Cao Cao's forces start near the west gate, defeat Deng Mao and Huang Shao. Then help Liu Bei crush Gao Sheng into the next year. When Zhang Liang calls forth his rainstorm, He Yi as always will ambush Huangfu Song. Defeat He Yi, and Huangfu Song will exit Xia Pi Castle through the north right gate, where he'll be once again ambushed, this time by Yan Zheng. The Yellow Turban Fortress Region: Guan Du Bonus: Defeating Zhang Bao here will cause him to not appear in The Yellow Turban Rebellion. --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans Zhu Jun COMMANDER Zhang Bao UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- Zhu Jun Zhang Bao Cao Cao Cheng Yuanzhi -Random Wei officer Zhou Cang -Random Wei officer Pei Yuan Shao Sun Jian He Yi -Random Wu officer Bo Zhang -Random Wu officer Liu Bei -Random Shu officer -Random Shu officer OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Bao. Defeat-Zhu Jun is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This stage is also exactly the same as Shu's version of this stage. This time, though, Cao Cao will have to advance to the east, where Pei Yuan Shao will use his 'winds' to stop you. But you can still get some choice time! LEFT PATH Defeat Bo Zhang to open the entrance to the battlement. A Phantom Army spell will attack the Han forces. As Sun Jian says, "Behind every spell there is always some gimmick." And he's right. There are two glowing implements. One is near the exit gate of the battlement. From there, go right according to the map to find the other one. Oh yeah, while taking them glowing things out, take down Zhou Cang. RIGHT PATH Go ahead and defeat He Yi. Also take out the gate captain near him. When you go deep inside the circular path at the right path Pei Yuan Shao will summon what appears to be the magical powers of the wind. As Cao Cao says, keep advancing against the wind to the bottom of the circular path and you'll discover it's not magic that creates the wind, rather, the winds are being created by windmills. You can destroy the windmills by hitting them until they fall. Destroying the windmills will stop the winds, and you'll get a comment about stopping the winds. Then take out Pei Yuan Shao. Either way, when you reach the castle at the bottom of the map (called Guan Du Castle), Cheng Yuanzhi will be guarding the gates, and defeating him will open up the gates. Note that if you defeat all enemy officers (including sub- officers, but there is none!) and defeating the gate captain close to Zhang Bao, this will cause him to withdraw. The Yellow Turban Rebellion Region: Ji Province --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans He Jin COMMANDER Zhang Jiao UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- He Jin Zhang Jiao Cao Cao -Huang Shao -Random Wei officer -Liu Pi -Random Wei officer -Zhou Cang Sun Jian -Han Xian -Random Wu officer Zhang Bao (Note) -Random Wu officer Zhang Man Cheng Liu Bei -Guan Hai -Random Shu officer Zhang Liang (Note) -Random Shu officer Bo Zhang -Deng Mao Pei Yuan Shao -He Yi -Yan Zheng Cheng Yuanzhi -Gao Sheng Note: If you have defeated Zhang Liang and/or Zhang Bao in The Yellow Turban Menace and/or the Yellow Turban Fortress, they will not appear here, and thus, their spells will be nullified. But if both are not present, Zhang Jiao will summon a rockslide when you reach the Ji Province city, and Bo Zhang will become powered up if Zhang Liang does not appear, and Zhang Man Cheng will be powered up if Zhang Bao does not appear. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Jiao. Defeat-He Jin is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This time for Cao Cao, you'll have to advance east, but actually you can advance west anytime. Cao Cao's soldiers will advance to the east, where they'll come upon Zhang Liang and Bo Zhang, or just only Bo Zhang if Zhang Liang was already defeated in The Yellow Turban Menace. LEFT PATH If you chose the left path, you'll deal with Guan Hai and Zhang Man Cheng. And Zhang Bao if you did not defeat him in The Yellow Turban Fortress. If he does appear, he'll activate flame geysers that can damage you. If he does not appear, the flame geyser event will not be around, but Zhang Man Cheng will be powered up, as I said in the note above. But still he's not too hard. Then go ahead and skip the right path section. RIGHT PATH By going to the right path, you will deal with Deng Mao and Bo Zhang. Zhang Liang will also appear if you did not defeat him in The Yellow Turban Menace. If he does appear, he'll send a not-good rock slide attack. These rocks can take a good amount of health away from you. But these rocks can't differentiate whether if it's friend or foe, so it also hits the turban boys. Defeating Zhang Liang will stop the rock attack, but a few rocks will still roll around. If Liang doesn't appear, Bo Zhang will be powered, but like Man Cheng, he's not too hard even if he's powered up. Either way, go ahead and take out Zhou Cang and Han Xian. If both Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang did not appear, Zhang Jiao will summon a rock slide attack similar to that of Zhang Liang's, but this one cannot be stopeed, but it can be easily avoided. From now on it's just a matter of taking down Zhang Jiao's remaining sub-officers (which should be Huang Shao and Liu Pi) before taking out Zhang Jiao. Note that if you take down all officers (including sub- officers) and defeat the gate captain right next to Zhang Jiao, Jiao will retreat. This is vital for unlocking Wei's next act's tale, Return of the Yellow Turbans. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han Forces successfully stop Zhang Jiao and defeat the Yellow Turbans. However, following the rebellion, it is the heinous Dong Zhuo who manages to gain control of the Han Forces and quickly uses their power for his rule of tyranny. He also has the mightiest warrior of the time, Lu Bu. Cao Cao calls an alliance with Yuan Shao as commander and with the alliance, they come to stop Dong Zhuo. The members are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. Battle of Si Shui Gate Region: Xu Chang Bonus: If you take over the supply depot in Si Shui Gate, Sun Jian will gain morale boost in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. If you defeat Hua Xiong, he will not ambush Yuan Shao in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. --- Allied Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Li Jue UNIT INFO Allied Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ------------- ------------------ Yuan Shao Li Jue -Zhang He -Li Meng Yuan Shu -Yang Feng Gongsun Zan Guo Si Cao Cao Li Ru -Random Wei officer Hua Xiong Sun Jian -Hu Zhen -Random Wu officer -Zhao Cen Liu Bei Fan Chou -Random Shu officer -Wang Fang Niou Fu Gao Shun Li Su *Zhang Liao OR Dong Min OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Li Jue. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 This stage is identical to Shu's version of Battle of Si Shui Gate. But Cao Cao's troops start near Li Su, Gao Shun, and Niou Fu. You can take them out. But also try to capture the enemy supply depot which is where Fan Chou is in by using the backroad near Li Ru's position (jump over the wooden wall). Sun Jian will request some food, but Yuan Shu will deny the request, saying "Even if I do send the supplies now, the glory will all be Sun Jian's! Do not send out the supply convoy out yet!" If you don't take over the depot in time, eventually Sun Jian's forces will have a morale drop, Sun Jian will say "Where is the supply convoy? Our morale is dwindling!", a message will say "Si Shui Gate's first and second gates have opened, and Hua Xiong will charge out of the gates. When Sun Jian withdraws, you'll get a message saying "Hua Xiong's unit is charging!" and Yuan Shao saying "Are there no warriors here that can defeat Hua Xiong!?!" If you defeat him (if you want weapon experience to level up your weapon, take out Hua Xiong's two sub-officers Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen before taking Hua Xiong out) you'll get a scene in which you'll announce that you defeated Hua Xiong. If Zhang Liao arrives as reinforcements, he'll attack Yuan Shao. Go and take him out. If you have already unlocked Liao for Wei, then Dong Min will be an enemy reinforcement officer, but won't attack Yuan Shao. Either way, a few minutes after Hua Xiong has been defeated regardless of finding the supply depot or not, Li Jue will say "Si Shui Gate is lost! Retreat!" and withdraw (annoying if you need some weapon experience). Battle of Hu Lao Gate Region: Luo Yang --- Allied Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Allied Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ------------- ------------------ Yuan Shao Dong Zhuo -Yan Liang -Niou Fu -Wen Chou -Fan Chou Yuan Shu -Wang Fang Gongsun Zan Li Ru Cao Cao -Xu Rong -Random Wei officer Li Jue Sun Jian -Jia Xu -Random Wu officer Guo Si Liu Bei -Li Meng -Random Shu officer Diao Chan Zhang Liao OR Dong Min -Gao Shun *Lu Bu *Hua Xiong (Note) *-Hu Zhen (Note) *-Zhao Cen (Note) Note: If you have defeated Hua Xiong in Battle of Si Shui Gate, he, along with Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen, will not appear to ambush Yuan Shao. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Dong Zhuo. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This stage is also the same as Shu's version of Battle of Hu Lao Gate. This time, you start at the south. Li Ru will guard the south gate (Zhu Qiao Gate) and will launch an archer ambush at Cao Cao's forces. Your task is to defeat Li Ru to clear Zhu Qiao Gate, then help Sun Jian and Liu Bei take out Guo Si and clear Qing Long Gate, and send either Zhang Liao or Dong Min into kingdom come (with no bombs) to clear Xuan Wu Gate. Then you have to penetrate the enemy defenses of Luo Yang and take down Dong Zhuo. Easy, isn't it? Well, it would be, but a minor problem comes in. That problem comes in the form of a tall warrior with a deadly halberd and riding on a red horse. Yes, Lu Bu is back. He is so powerful that it's nearly impossible to defeat him without a level 9 weapon (but still possible, use counters). If you don't want to defeat Lu Bu, go ahead and skip him. Just go to Diao Chan and defeat the songstress (who cares if she's beautiful?). That will open up Luo Yang's gates, where Dong Zhuo will set fire to it once you enter it. Go and defeat the remaining officers (besides Lu Bu if you don't want to). If you DO defeat Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo will retreat a few minutes later after you enter Luo Yang. If you are trying to defeat Lu Bu and you take too much time attacking him, Dong Zhuo will eventually open Luo Yang's gates without burning the city and his army will charge. If he does charge, every enemy officer alive will have an eight-star morale. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Tales: Return of the Yellow Turbans ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: Clear Wei Musou mode once. In Wei - Act I: A Hero of Chaos, clear or skip the Yellow Turban Menace. Skip The Yellow Turban Fortress. In The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao must retreat. This tale stage will appear after Wei - Act 2: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo. Story: Following the defeat of the Yellow Turbans in Ji Province, Zhang Jiao flees to Han Zhong and is helped by Zhang Lu, who is also a mystical leader. They attempt to start another rebellion. Cao Cao rises to once again stop Zhang Jiao. Eliminate Zhang Jiao! Region: Han Zhong --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Yellow Turbans Cao Cao COMMANDER Zhang Jiao/Zhang Lu UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Yellow Turbans ---------------- -------------- Cao Cao Zhang Jiao Xu Huang -Zhang Bao Xiahou Dun -Zhang Liang Pei Yuan Shao He Yi Bo Zhang *Zhang Lu (Note) *Xu Huang (Note) *Xiahou Dun (Note) Note: If you do not defeat all of Zhang Lu's troops and just defeat Zhang Lu, he'll reappear every time because he's a phantom. To fight to real Zhang Lu, defeat all of his troops. Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun will only defect to the Yellow Turbans if you do not stop Zhang Lu before he reaches Zhang Jiao and casts the spell that makes your ally soldiers defect. OBJECTIVES: Victory: Defeat Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu. Defeat: Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This stage is like the exact same thing as Shu's Eliminate Zhang Jiao! stage with Cao Cao being commander and Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun the officers that can turn into enemy officers. But I'll post a walkthrough anyway. Cao Cao will give the instructions to take the south fortress to stall Zhang Lu. Defeat He Yi and Bo Zhang quickly to take the south fortress. When Zhang Lu arrives, you'll have to defeat him before he joins up with Zhang Jiao. Don't bother trying to defeat Zhang Lu, because all he is is an illusion. If you try to go to Zhang Jiao's place, Zhang Liang will summon strong winds that will prevent you from getting there. To defeat the 'real' Zhang Lu, you have to completely annihilate all of his troops. They are in white armor and aren't in yellow (how do you call that Yellow Turbans?). Once you defeat them all, the real Zhang Lu will then be spotted near the north fortress. Defeat Zhang Lu. If Zhang Lu DOES join Zhang Jiao, they will cast a spell that'll make your entire soldiers except Cao Cao defect, even Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang will defect as well. But if you do defeat Zhang Lu before he joins up, only the soldiers and not Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang will defect. To solve the weak version, just destroy the ceremonial implements (as Cao Cao says) located at the top area. Note that if the stronger spell is casted, then destroying the implements will do nothing (but a message does say that the spell has been weakened if this is done). Then proceed to defeat both Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu. Oh yeah, Zhang Bao will use a rockslide attack when the south fortress is cleared by Zhang Lu and Cao Cao's forces advance to the north fortress. To occupy the north fortress, defeat the Yuan Shao mocker and Zhang Bao. If you don't know what I mean by Yuan Shao mocker, I'm talking about Pei Yuan Shao. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Act III: The Rise of Cao Cao ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: After defeating the tyrant Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and the others go off to rule the land. Cao Cao goes off to eliminate some threats. Lu Bu has taken over Xia Pi Castle, Zhang Xiu sets a plot to burn Wan Castle to try to defeat Cao Cao, and the biggest threat for now is Yuan Shao's massive army. Cao Cao and Liu Bei form a temporary alliance, but then later Guan Yu will be separated from his brothers and will temporarily serve Cao Cao, while Liu Bei goes to serve Yuan Shao's forces. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao may have been allies once, but now they are bitter enemies. Battle of Xia Pi Region: Xu Province Bonus: If Lu Bu retreats in this battle, he will appear in Battle of Wan Castle, and if either you skip this stage or Lu Bu retreats and then you skip Battle of Wan Castle, Lu Bu will appear in Battle of Guan Du. Also, clearing this stage and then Battle of Wan Castle will cause Jia Xu to appear as Cao Cao's sub-officer. --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Lu Bu's Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER Lu Bu UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Lu Bu's Forces ---------------- -------------- Cao Cao Lu Bu -Guo Jia Chen Gong Random Wei officer Diao Chan Xiahou Dun Zang Ba Liu Bei Hou Cheng -Guan Yu Song Xian -Zhang Fei Wei Xu *Dian Wei (Note) *Zhang Liao OR Gao Shun *Carriage *Yuan Shu (Note) *-Ji Ling *-Chen Lan *-Lei Bo Note: Dian Wei will only show up if Lu Bu approaches Cao Cao. Yuan Shu, Ji Ling, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo will only show up if the carriage makes it west into Yuan Shu's territory. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Lu Bu. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 At the start of the battle, Cao Cao's strategist Guo Jia will say that Lu Bu has tightly shut the gates of Xia Pi Castle and you will have to defeat the enemy officers that are outside. Note that Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu will surrender and retreat when either their morale is low or their life is reduced to about half. Also, Zhang Liao or Gao Shun if you have unlocked Zhang Liao will ambush Xiahou Dun. You should go help Xiahou Dun and defeat Zhang Liao or Gao Shun. Also, at some time Lu Bu will send a carriage with his daughter inside (who would've thought the mightiest warrior is married and has a daughter...) west to Yuan Shu's territory to get Yuan Shu for help. You can try to destroy the carriage, but I'd prefer letting the carriage go so you can get some weapon experience points. Also, when Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu surrender to Cao Cao, you'll get a message saying "Chen Gong's unit has ceased resistance!" When you get that message, approach Chen Gong and he'll surrender to you as well. If you destroyed the carriage, have all four officers surrender, and Diao Chan isn't defeated, Lu Bu will retreat. But if he does, he will have some revenge at either Battle of Wan Castle or Battle of Guan Du. Also, if you do defeat Diao Chan, Lu Bu will get all mad at you for killing her and will be, uh, Battle of Hu Lao Gate-ish, and will be harder to defeat. Oh, and when you enter Xia Pi Castle, you'll notice that the water stream is going much faster than normal. Guo Jia will say "There is a stream going through the castle. That will substantially limit our movements." You can dam the stream with some boulders found near the bridge near the north left gate of the castle. Guo Jia will say "Use boulders to dam the stream going through the castle." and then you'll know where the boulders are. Approach the big boulder and you'll see a scene where your character watches the stream slow down and then order to attack. Also, when you do dam the castle, you'll find Lu Bu's Red Hare on a very small island at the southeast. Guo Jia will then say "Lu Bu must not get his hands on Red Hare. We must get it before him!" Lu Bu will most likely be busy fending off Cao Cao's soldiers, but if you have Chen Gong surrender to have Lu Bu retreat and then dam the stream in that order and let Diao Chan retreat, Lu Bu WILL go to Red Hare's spot. Also, when the carriage does manage to make it into Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu and his sub-officers Ji Ling, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo will eventually appear. You'll need to fight them as well. Battle of Wan Castle Region: Nan Yang Bonus: Clearing this stage and Battle of Xia Pi will cause Jia Xu to appear as Cao Cao's sub-officer. --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Zhang Xiu's Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER Zhang Xiu UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Zhang Xiu's Forces ---------------- ------------------ Cao Cao Zhang Xiu (Note) -Xu Zhu (Note) -Fan Chou Cao Ang Jia Xu Cao An Min -Hu Zhen Dian Wei Hu Che Er -Zhao Cen *Lu Bu (Note) Note: Xu Zhu will only appear if Dian Wei does not stand next to the door near his position and breaks the door when Cao Cao is trapped. Zhang Xiu makes two appearances here. When you reduce Zhang Xiu's HP to almost half in his first appearance, Zhang Xiu will retreat. Then when you see the scene where Dian Wei or Xu Zhu breaks the door, he'll reappear near the escape point. Lu Bu will only appear if you clear Battle of Xia Pi with Lu Bu retreating and then playing this stage. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao reaches Escape Point. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 You'll find a few of Dong Zhuo's officers in this stage. Jia Xu, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen, for example. Also, Lu Bu will appear if you clear Battle of Xia Pi with him retreating, and then playing this stage. At the start of the battle, defeat Zhao Cen. Then, if you're not Cao Cao, go and defeat Hu Che Er. If you are Cao Cao, you won't be able to defeat him because Dian Wei is near Hu Che Er and if you approach him, you'll see a scene where Dian Wei puts up strong resistance and then the door between you and Dian Wei will close. So, anyways. After defeating Hu Che Er or not if you're Cao Cao, go down and defeat Hu Zhen, then Jia Xu. After that, go and defeat Jia Xu and Fan Chou. Then go whittle Zhang Xiu's HP until he retreats. Then escort Cao Cao, or if you're not Cao Cao, quickly go to Dian Wei's place and defeat Hu Che Er if you haven't yet. When Cao Cao approaches near Dian Wei, flames will prevent his advance. When you see a scene where Dian Wei breaks a door, Zhang Xiu will appear near the escape point. Alternatively, you can try to lure Dian Wei away from the door and Xu Zhu will appear as a sub-officer under Cao Cao. Defeat Zhang Xiu and then wait until Cao Cao himself defeats all of the enemies in his way and makes it to the escape point. Battle of Guan Du Region: Guan Du --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Yuan Shao's Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER Zhang Xiu UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Yuan Shao's Forces ---------------- ------------------ Cao Cao Yan Liang -Cheng Yu Wen Chou -Jia Xu (Note) Zhang He (Note) Man Chong -Gao Lan (Note) -Cao Hong Yuan Xi Xun You -Guo Tu Random Wei officer -Han Meng -Yue Jin Liu Bei (Note) Random Wei officer -Zhang Fei (Note) -Guo Jia Yuan Shang Guan Yu (Note) *Yuan Shao Yu Jin -Xun Chen -Wang Lang *-Yuan Tan -Wei Xu *-Ju Shou (Note) -Song Xian *Chunyu Qiong (Note) Xun Yu *Lu Wei Kuang (Note) *Zhang He (Note) *Lu Bu (Note) *-Gao Lan (Note) Note: Jia Xu appears only if you clear both Battle of Xia Pi and Battle of Wan Castle. Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei will retreat together when they meet up. Zhang He and Gao Lan will not appear if you have already unlocked him. Also, to get Zhang He and Gao Lan to defect to Cao Cao's forces, burn down Wu Chao. Chunyu Qiong will only appear if both Bai Ma and Yan Jin falls, Yuan Shao's rams appear, and Cheng Yu reports of the location of Yuan Shao's supply depot in Wu Chao. Ju Shou and Lu Wei Kuang will appear when an enemy soldier reports of Wu Chao being attacked. Lu Bu will only appear if you skip Battle of Xia Pi, or clearing Battle of Xia Pi with Lu Bu retreating and then skipping Battle of Wan Castle. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Yuan Shao. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 Cao Cao will give the order to protect both Bai Ma and Yan Jin. Bai Ma is protected by Yu Jin, and Yan Jin is protected by Man Chong. Don't worry about Yan Jin. It's protected well. Bai Ma, on the other hand, is a different story. For some reason, Wei Xu and Song Xian will die easily because THEIR MAX HP AMOUNT IS SO LITTLE! (According to the encyclopedia, when Wei Xu and Song Xian surrendered to Cao Cao, they were both killed by Yan Liang easily in Guan Du). Not to mention the fact that Wang Lang, who should be controlling Jing for now, has low defense (and oh WHY did he not invite Zhou Xin to the Wei army? Oh yeah, he's long dead by then, but what about Jia Xu? I mean, he served Dong Zhuo before Wei, so he probably should have invited one of Dong Zhuo's officers, probably Hu Zhen, don't cha think, or Hu Che Er?). Also, when both Wei Xu and Song Xian are defeated, Guan Yu will come out and defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Also, defeating both Yan Liang and Wen Chou triggers the arrival of Yuan Shao himself, otherwise known as Pointy Hat. In Dynasty Warirors 3, he had a hat with a long point! Well, his hat isn't that pointy now. Anyway, once Guan Yu defeats Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he'll haul it to where ever Liu Bei is. If you have defeated Liu Bei, then Guan Yu will just sit and fight. Also, once you defeat both Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao will say "Idiots! How can you not take such a small castle?" and then taking either castle won't matter to him. Just defeat Yan Liang and then Wen Chou. Then defeat Yuan Shang, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Han Meng, Guo Tu, and then Yuan Xi. Then defeat Zhang He if he's around. After that, defeat Yuan Shao's two sub-officers Xun Chen and Yuan Tan. Also, Yuan Shao will retreat when all enemy officers but himself are gone. If you want to burn down Wu Chao, first, let both Bai Ma and Yan Jin fall. Just wait around. Oh, and do NOT defeat Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. Let Guan Yu defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Then when he meets up with Liu Bei, he'll retreat, at which both castles will be flooded with enemies. Yu Jin will most likely be defeated first, since he has little morale and his sub-officers are defeated quickly. Then when Man Chong is defeated, Yan Jin will fall. When the enemy's main force approaches Guan Du, you'll see a scene where Yuan Shao's forces prepare rams to break down Guan Du Castle's wall. Cheng Yu will then report of Yuan Shao's supply depot at Wu Chao, which triggers Chunyu Qiong to appear there. Wu Chao is the small square area to the left, just in case you want to know. Once you enter Wu Chao, an enemy soldier will say "Wu Chao is under attack by Cao Cao's forces!" and then Yuan Shao will send reinforcements. Defeat Chunyu Qiong, and then Lu Wei Kuang and Ju Shou will appear as enemy reinforcements. Defeat Lu Wei Kuang and then Wu Chao will be burned down. Also, when this happens and Zhang He and Gao Lan appears, both Zhang He and Gao Lan will defect to Cao Cao's side. It's just a matter of taking out all enemy officers. Also, if you skipped Battle of Xia Pi or have Lu Bu retreat there and then skipping Battle of Wan Castle, Lu Bu will appear 5 minutes at the north of Bai Ma. If you defeat him, Yuan Shao will say "Are you saying there's a terror greater than Lu Bu?" :) Oh, and the only difference between Lu Bu here and Lu Bu everywhere else is that there's none of that Lu Bu Theme Song, but the song here rocks, too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Tales: Guan Yu's Escape ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wei - Act I: A Hero of Chaos, skip both The Yellow Turban Menace and The Yellow Turban Fortress. Then in Wei - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo, clear both Battle of Si Shui Gate and Battle of Hu Lao Gate. This tale stage will appear after Wei - Act III: The Rise of Cao Cao. Story: Liu Bei flees from the attacks of Cao Cao. Guan Yu serves Cao Cao for a time being, but when he learns of his brother's whereabouts, he is prepared to return to his brother's side. Guan Yu's Escape Region: Xu Chang --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Liu Bei's Forces Xiahou Dun COMMANDER Guan Yu UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Liu Bei's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Xiahou Dun Guan Yu Carriage *Sun Qian *Zhou Cang *Liao Hua *Guan Ping *Liu Bei (Note) *Zhang Fei (Note) *Carriage (Note) Note: If you destroy the Carriage before it passes the fourth gate, you'll get a message saying it's a decoy, and then another carriage will appear, and also, when you destroy the decoy, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei will appear as enemy reinforcements. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Guan Yu or Carriage. Defeat-Guan Yu and Carriage both reach Yellow River. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 I hope you have a harness if you're using a slow character. You need to defeat Guan Yu or destroy the carriage before they both reach Yellow River. Oh, and enemy officers will try to stop you from attacking Guan Yu. Sun Qian will appear first. Then Zhou Cang will appear next. Liao Hua will appear after Zhou Cang, and he will challenge you to a duel. Next, Guan Ping will show up. Also, when you reach the fifth gate, a supply unit carrying a valuable item will appear and make its way somewhere to the east. That's the Way of the Musou. Also, if you destroy the decoy carriage, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei will appear, as well as the real carriage. You'll most likely need to defeat Guan Yu, who's been pumped up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Tales: The Yuan Family's Pride ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wei - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo, skip Battle of Si Shui Gate. Then in Wei - Act III: The Rise of Cao Cao, when you play Battle of Guan Du, have Yuan Shao retreat. This tale stage will appear after Wei - Act III: The Rise of Cao Cao. Story: After the Battle of Guan Du, Yuan Shao flees north, and begins to regain his lost power. He plots his revenge against Cao Cao. Cao Cao sets off north to Ji Province to finish off the Yuan Family. Battle of Ji Province Region: Ji Province --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Yuan Shao's Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER Yuan Shao UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Yuan Shao's Forces ---------------- ------------------ Cao Cao Yuan Tan Zhang He -Guo Tu Yue Jin -Xin Ping Li Dian -Xin Pi Random Wei officer Yuan Shang Random Wei officer -Feng Ji *Yuan Tan (Note) -Shen Pei *-Guo Tu (Note) -Lu Xiang *-Xin Ping (Note) Yuan Xi *Xin Pi (Note) Gao Gan *Yuan Shang (Note) Lu Kuang *-Feng Ji (Note) *Yuan Shao *-Shen Pei (Note) *-Lu Xiang (Note) Note: You can get either Yuan Tan and his sub-officers or Yuan Shang and his sub-officers to temporarily join Cao Cao's forces. However, you cannot have both Yuan brothers to join. To do this, wait until a while. Eventually Yuan Tan's sub-officers Guo Tu and Xin Ping will suggest Yuan Tan to leave Yuan Shang, and then Yuan Shang's sub-officers Feng Ji and Shen Pei will suggest Yuan Shang to leave Yuan Tan. Cao Cao will realize that the two brothers are at odds, and will order to defeat Yuan Xi, because he is like a bridge between the two. Defeat Yuan Xi, and then Cao Cao will order to negotiate either one of the Yuans and his sub-officers to join. Once you defeat either Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao will make his appearance, in which the Yuan brother that defected will go back to Yuan Shao's forces. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Yuan Shao. Defeay-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is a fight involving the two that suggested defeating Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao VS Yuan Shao. Uh, Yuan Shao? Okay. Will the real Slimyuan Shadyshao please stand up, please stand up, please stand up? To get Yuan Shao to appear, you have to defeat either Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang. Bah, go defeat them all. Defeat Gao Gan. Defeat Yuan Xi. Defeat Lu Kuang. Defeat Xin Pi... Xin Pi? Yeah, that's the same Xin Pi from the Wei forces, alright. You see, before Xin Pi joined Wei, he joined Yuan Shao's ranks. Anyway, just defeat blah blah. Once you defeat either Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao will appear (it's funny when his horse stomps on a soldier just watching the battle). Go and defeat Yuan Shao. Farewell, pointy hat! May the Gods and Heavens bless your oh-so famous hat! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Act IV: The War against Liu Bei ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: After defeating Yuan Shao and gaining the lands of Guan Du, Cao Cao's army has become one of the most powerful armies. However, Liu Bei, who had served Yuan Shao, fled with Guan Yu. Cao Cao sees Liu Bei as a threat. He knows Liu Bei has plans to ally with the Sun Family of Wu. This could be trouble, even for Wei. Also, Liu Bei has recruited Zhuge Liang, who is one of the best strategists. Battle of Bo Wan Po Region: Ru Nan Bonus: Defeating Zhuge Liang here will severely weaken him in Battle of Chi Bi. --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Liu Bei's Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER Liu Bei UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Liu Bei's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Cao Cao Liu Bei (1) -Xu Shu Zhuge Liang (1) Random Wei officer Zhao Yun Random Wei officer Jian Yong Yu Jin *Liu Feng Li Dian *Guan Ping Han Hao *Guan Yu *Liu Bei (2) *Zhuge Liang (2) *Zhang Fei OBJECTIVESS: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This battle can be easy, or annoying. You see, Zhuge Liang has set up some wicked, evil traps to try to stop us Wei peons. To start off, when your allies approach Zhao Yun, he'll retreat to try to lure us into a fire ambush and Liu Feng's party. Try to defeat Zhao Yun ASAP. Also, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will leave the battle. Next up, Han Hao will go up the northern path, where Guan Ping will try to ambush him. Somehow, though, you may or may not detect his ambush party. I'm not sure how this happens, but I believe it's defeating Liu Feng that detects his ambush. Defeat Guan Ping. Finally, Guan Yu will appear at the northern bridge. Note that if he does NOT challenge you to a duel, then that means that his ploy has failed. Also, after defeating Guan Yu, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, along with Zhang Fei, will appear behind Cao Cao. If any one of the three ploys does work, get this-Zhang Fei will put the Wei supply depot on fire. Battle of Chang Ban Region: Nan Territory Bonus: Clearing this stage will prevent Guan Yu from appearing in Battle of Chi Bi and will reduce the Shu reinforcement troops. If you play this stage before Battle of Bo Wan Po and get the scene with Zhang Fei's appearance at the Chang Ban bridge, and then play Battle of Bo Wan Po, a soldier will say that Zhang Fei is the monster that appeared in Chang Ban. --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Liu Bei's Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER Liu Bei UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Liu Bei's Forces ---------------- ---------------- Cao Cao Liu Bei -Xiahou En Zhang Fei Random Wei officer -Liao Hua Random Wei officer Zhao Yun Random Wei officer Zhuge Liang Zhu Ling -Sun Qian Random Wei officer Zhou Cang Mi Zhu *Guan Yu *Liu Qi OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated, or Liu Bei reaches Escape Point. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This battle is really frustrating. It seems Liu Bei really wants to escape. He'll make a mad dash for it. Zhuge Liang, who's in the central fortress, will close the gates of the fortress once you enter it. Quickly defeat him to open up the fortress gates again. Also, when you defeat Mi Zhu and open the southern fortress's gates, Liu Qi's fleet will arrive, and Guan Yu and Liu Qi will appear as enemy reinforcements. Okay, on with the walkie throughie. First off, you should start somewhere north. Ignore Zhou Cang, and when you find someone falling off his horse, quickly take the horse so you can catch up to Liu Bei. Also, note that when your forces reach the bridge where Zhang Fei is, you'll see the scene where Zhang Fei makes his brave scream. Note that Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei will always challenge you to a duel. Once you defeat them in a duel hopefully, catch up to Liu Bei quickly, and defeat him ASAP.

OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sun Jian. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 At the start of the battle, Cao Cao will declare himself to win this battle and rule the land. Then, a soldier will then say "Lord Pang Tong is acting a bit strangely." Pang Tong is a sub-officer under Cao Pi for now, but he will defect. He's planning to chain the ships, for the first plan of the fire attack. Just approach him and he'll say "Hmm, it didn't work, eh?" Then he'll defect and become a sub-officer under Zhuge Liang, and will retreat. You may wish to defeat him. Meanwhile, enemy reinforcements from Liu Bei's forces will have arrived to assist Zhuge Liang while he's starting his ceremony to pray for the wind to blow. Zhao Yun and Guan Yu will appear as the reinforcement officers, but if you have previously cleared Battle of Chang Ban, then Guan Yu won't make his appearance. Hurry to Zhuge Liang's altar and quickly defeat Zhuge Liang. Oh, and if you have defeated him previously in Battle of Bo Wan Po, his HP will be reduced to nearly the length of Wei Xu and Song Xian in Battle of Guan Du. Once you defeat him, the prayer for the wind will fail. Jiang Qin and Zhao Yun should also be nearby. Go wipe them out. By now, a soldier should have reported that Huang Gai is planning to defect to Wei. You know what this means. If you don't, then Huang Gai is going to burn the ships. If possible, defeat Han Dang, Gan Ning, and Lu Meng ASAP before Huang Gai arrives. When his ship docks right of the ship bridge, take him out. Don't worry if the fire attack succeeds. As long as Zhuge Liang's wind summon fails, the fire attack will mean nothing. Now you can defeat all other enemy officers, and finally the Tiger of Jiang Dong himself, aka Sun Jian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Tales: Lu Bu's Revenge ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wei - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo, when you play Battle of Hu Lao Gate, defeat Lu Bu. Then in Wei - Act III: The Rise of Cao Cao, skip Battle of Xia Pi. This will cause Lu Bu in Battle of Guan Du. When you play Battle of Guan Du, defeat Lu Bu when he appears. Then, in Wei - Act IV: The War Against Liu Bei, clear Battle of Chang Ban. This tale stage will appear after Wei - Act IV: The War Against Liu Bei. Story: Lu Bu has somehow managed to avoid being captured by Cao Cao. He then sets up his troops for a counter attack. Cao Cao then takes his troops to defeat Lu Bu and erase the legend of him. Lu Bu's Offensive Region: Xu Province --- Cao Cao's Forces VS Lu Bu's Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER Lu Bu UNIT INFO Cao Cao's Forces Lu Bu's Forces ---------------- -------------- Cao Cao Lu Bu -Xun Yu Diao Chan Zhang Liao Gao Shun Xiahou Dun *Zang Ba Cao Ren OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Lu Bu. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Even though Lu Bu wanted to have revenge, it looks like he took only a small amount of officers with him. Anyway, you see, Xun Yu planned a plot to trap Lu Bu within Xia Pi Castle and burn the castle with fire. To start out, defeat Diao Chan and Gao Shun. Lu Bu may or may not head your way. If he does, run away for now. Eventually, the east gate of Xia Pi Castle will close. Scattered near the north, west, and south gates are gongs. Once you ring a gong, the gate next to it will close. But if any one of your allies are trapped within, they'll withdraw, except for Cao Cao, who'll be injured and not retreat. In this case, first, Cao Cao will pull back outside the castle through the west gate. Xun Yu will tell you which gate Lu Bu is heading for, and will tell you to close that gate before Lu Bu escapes. Once all gates are closed and Lu Bu is trapped within, the fire attack will proceed and burn Lu Bu-WHAT!?!?!?!?! Well, it seems Lu Bu can survive even fire, believe it or not. And, by now, he'll challenge you to a duel. Also, Zang Ba will appear as enemy reinforcements to the south. Oh, and don't worry if the fire attack fails. But, if the fire attack succeeds, Lu Bu's HP will plunge and he'll be easier to defeat, and the Lu Bu Theme Song will play (even though it's pointless, unless you like the music a lot). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Tales: The Stalwart Ma Chao ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wei - Act IV: The War Against Liu Bei, skip Battle of Chang Ban. This tale stage will appear after Wei - Act IV: The War Against Liu Bei. Story: Liu Bei had finally gained a home base of operations and commands for the Shu forces. Cao Cao, wanting to defeat Liu Bei quickly, leads an attack to Han Zhong. However, waiting there on the way at Tong Gate is the vengeful Ma Chao, seeking the vengeance he had been waiting so long for to avenge his father's death.

To do this, wait until Cao Cao meets up with Han Sui and has a little conversation with him. Then defeat some of Han Sui's three sub-officers Li Kan, Yang Qiu, and Hou Xuan, and defeat his troops until his morale is lower than Cao Cao's morale, and then Han Sui will defect to Cao Cao. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Ma Chao. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 If you're playing as Xu Zhu, you can get his Stone Crusher here. At the start of the battle, head south and defeat Cheng Yi. Then go down south more and defeat Meng Da and Wei Yan. While you're fighting them, Xu Huang will lay down a bridge through Wei Shui and will attack Tong Gate from the north. Next up, defeat Ma Chao's sub-officers Ma Dai and Pang De. Eventually, Jia Xu will say that if we create a rift through Han Sui and Ma Chao, then we will win. Cao Cao will say "Hmm, Han Sui and I are acquainted. I will go see him." and when he does approach Han Sui, he'll have a little chat with him. Now, to get Han Sui to defect, you have to defeat some of his three sub-officers and lower down his morale to make it lower than Cao Cao's by defeating his troops. If you want to, you can just say "Who the hell cares if Cao Cao and Han Sui were friends?" and defeat Han Sui. Now all that is left is to defeat Ma Chao. Oh yeah, if you're playing as Cao Cao and you approach Ma Chao, he'll say "Cao Cao! You will feel the wrath of my clan!" and his morale will rise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Act V: The Fall of Shu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Zhuge Liang's wind summon succeeds, then Wei - Act V will be The Fall of Shu. Story: Following the battle of Chi Bi, Liu Bei gains the lands of Cheng Du and Jing. Cao Cao's new strategist, Sima Yi, marches to Jie Ting to attack Ma Su's supply depot. Xiahou Yuan is occupied in the defenses of Mt. Ding Jun. The final showdown between Wei and Shu will be in Wu Zhang Plains. Battle of Mt. Ding Jun Region: Han Zhong Bonus: Defeating Chen Shi before he reaches the Shu front lines will cause Huang Zhong to get revenge for Chen Shi when he appears in Battle of Wu Zhang Plains. --- Wei Forces VS Shu Forces 1. Xiahou Yuan 2. Cao Cao Liu Bei UNIT INFO Wei Forces Shu Forces ---------- ---------- Xiahou Yuan Liu Bei -Xiahou Shang -Fa Zheng Yang Xiu -Chen Shi Zhang He Zhuge Liang -Han Hao Zhang Fei Xiahou De Huang Zhong *Cao Cao -Yan Yan *Zhao Yun OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-1. Xiahou Yuan is defeated. 2. Cao Cao is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Cao Cao, Cao Cao will immediately become commander of the Wei forces. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Damn it! I couldn't put COMMANDER in there! Oh well... To start off, defeat Chen Shi, since he's a low life. No really, he has low life, compared to Xiahou Shang! Zhuge Liang will then close the gates. Meanwhile, Xiahou De will be under attack by Huang Zhong. If he's defeated, the Shu forces will take Mt. Ding Jun. Oh yeah, when you approach Huang Zhong, you'll see a scene where you insult him, and then Huang Zhong says that when he leaves the front lines, he dies. Go and defeat him. Then defeat all other enemy officers. Once Cao Cao arrives, he'll be commander instead of Xiahou Yuan. Zhuge Liang will later open up the gates and Zhang Fei will roam the Wei camp. Go defeat Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang first before taking out Fa Zheng and Liu Bei. Oh, and Zhao Yun will appear as enemy reinforcements. Take him out as well. Also, note that if you take too long playing this stage, and Yang Xiu is still alive, Cao Cao will eventually say "This battle is a waste of time." Yang Xiu will then think Cao Cao has no interest in fighting here, and will command the Wei forces to retreat, and Cao Cao will say "Yang Xiu, you fool!" and will retreat. To nullify this, have Yang Xiu be defeated. Battle of Jie Ting Region: Wu Zhang Plains Bonus: Defeating Ma Su here will cause Sima Yi to insult him when he ambushes Sima Yi in Battle of Wu Zhang Plains. --- Wei Forces VS Shu Forces Sima Yi COMMANDER 1. Ma Su 2. Zhuge Liang UNIT INFO Wei Forces Shu Forces ---------- ---------- Sima Yi Ma Su -Sima Zhao -Wang Ping Cao Zhen -Gao Xiang Zhang He -Liao Hua Random Wei officer *Zhuge Liang -Jia Kui *-Yue Ying *Wei Yan *Zhao Yun OBJECTIVES: Victory-1. Defeat Ma Su. 2. Defeat Zhuge Liang. Defeat-Sima Yi is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Cao Cao, Cao Cao will become commander and Defeat will change to Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Ah, a fun mission. Especially when this one has the funniest scene of all. Anyway, you're supposed to trap Ma Su and defeat him. But if Zhuge Liang shows up, your objectives will change into defeating him. First off, defeat all of Ma Su's three sub-officers, Wang Ping, Gao Xiang, and Liao Hua. You seal a passage for each enemy sub-officer you defeat. Once you defeat them all, here comes the scene! A Wei soldier makes some sort of dancing pose and reports to Zhang He that Ma Su's troops are dying of thirst. Zhang He will then say that the enemies are like flowers without water and will order his men to proceed with 'elegance, grace, and beauty' and the Wei troops does a dancing pose! Funny. Ma Su will then charge out, and Zhuge Liang should eventually appear. First, take out Ma Su. Then defeat Wei Yan and Zhao Yun. Finally, defeat Yue Ying and Zhuge Liang. Also, if you somehow miraculously manage to defeat Ma Su before Zhuge Liang and the Shu reinforcements arrive, then that ends the stage as well, but it's next to impossible to defeat him before Zhuge Liang appears. Battle of Wu Zhang Plains Region: Wu Zhang Plains --- Wei Forces VS Shu Forces Sima Yi COMMANDER 1. Zhuge Liang 2.

Defeat Zhuge Liang. 2. Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Sima Yi is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Cao Cao, Cao Cao will become commander and Defeat will change to Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 If you start to the left, defeat Ma Chao and Guan Xing. If you start to the right, defeat Wei Yan and Zhang Yi. Note that Wei Yan is a must-defeat, because he'll ignore Zhuge Liang's orders and charge down to Sima Yi. When you approach Jiang Wei, he'll use Zhuge Liang's arbalests at you. Defeat Jiang Wei to stop the arbalests. When Zhuge Liang dies, it's all over. You win. No you don't. Zhuge Liang's still alive. He's just faking his death. Sima Yi will then charge down. Meanwhile, try to defeat either Zhao Yun or Ma Dai and Gao Xiang. When Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen supply unit appears, try to destroy all of the wooden oxen. Sima Yi will then order to take down Shu's supply depot. Defeat Liao Hua to do so. On the way down, Sima Yi will be ambushed by Ma Su. If you have defeated him in Battle of Jie Ting, Sima Yi will start to mock him. :) "Well, if it isn't the lowly Ma Su! It's as if we have already won! Ha ha ha!" Also, this insult will lower Ma Su's morale. Just try to defeat as many enemy officers as you can. When Sima Yi does reach the Shu's north gate, he'll discover Zhuge Liang is very alive. Yue Ying is also around. Defeat Yue Ying, Zhang Bao, and Zhuge Liang. When Liu Bei appears, go around and attack him until he falls. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Act V: The Fall of Wu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Zhuge Liang's wind summon at Battle of Chi Bi fails, then Wei - Act V will be The Fall of Wu. Story: After the battle of Chi Bi, the Wu forces regroup and regain power to attack the Wei forces. Cao Ren is occupied in Fan Castle, while Sima Yi deals with the Wu forces in Shi Ting. A Wu officer named Zhou Fang defected to Wei, but is plotting a plan to ambush the Wei officer Cao Xiu in Shi Ting. The major forces of Wei are in He Fei Castle, and are to battle Wu there. The Siege of Fan Castle Region: Xiang Yang Bonus: I'm not sure about this, but if you clear this stage, Sun Shang Xiang will bring a catapult in Battle of He Fei. --- Wei Forces VS Wu Forces Cao Ren COMMANDER Sun Quan UNIT INFO Wei Forces Wu Forces ---------- --------- Cao Ren Sun Quan -Man Chong -Cheng Pu Sima Yi Lu Xun Xu Zhu -Ding Feng Random Wei officer Sun Shang Xiang Zhen Ji -Ling Tong *Cao Xiu (Note) Zhou Tai -Xu Sheng Lu Meng -Jiang Qin Taishi Ci -Zhu Ran *Zhou Fang (Note) Note: To get Cao Xiu to appear here, you must play Battle of Shi Ting, and then make sure you foil the ambush that Lu Xun and Zhou Fang plots. To get Zhou Fang to appear here, you must play Battle of Shi Ting, and then make sure the ambush on Cao Xiu succeeds. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sun Quan. Defeat-Cao Ren is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Cao Cao, Cao Cao will become commander and Defeat will change to Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 The Wu army has set up siege ramps and catapults to take over Fan Castle. Cao Ren will say that the Wei forces have a terrain advantage and if we can disable all the siege weapons (ramps and catapults) we can win. But believe me, it's nearly impossible to destroy both siege ramps before one gets set up. So, on with the show. First, you should just ignore sub-officers this time. Wherever you start, defeat the enemy officer near you. Once you defeat three enemy officers outside Fan Castle, Lu Meng will advance forth in a desperate attempt to win the battle. Go and defeat him. Then defeat all other enemy officers, and possibly enemy sub-officers. If you can, try to destroy most of the siege weapons as many as possible. Once Sun Quan is left, go ahead and defeat him. Battle of Shi Ting Region: He Fei Bonus: Clearing this stage will cause Lu Xun to admit he was bested in Battle of He Fei and will try to defeat the Wei forces again. If you play this stage before The Siege of Fan Castle and you foil Zhou Fang's ambush, Cao Xiu will appear as reinforcements in The Siege of Fan Castle. If you play this stage before The Siege of Fan Castle and Zhou Fang's ambush succeeds against Cao Xiu, Zhou Fang will appear as enemy reinforcements in The Siege of Fan Castle. --- Wei Forces VS Wu Forces Sima Yi COMMANDER Lu Xun UNIT INFO Wei Forces Wu Forces ---------- --------- Sima Yi Lu Xun -Xin Pi -Zhuge Jin Random Wei officer Huang Gai Cao Xiu Ding Feng -Zhang Pu Zhu Huan Jia Kui Quan Zong -Hu Zhi *Zhou Fang Zhou Fang *Zhu Zhi *-Xu Sheng OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Lu Xun. Defeat-Sima Yi is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Cao Cao, Cao Cao will become commander and Defeat will change to Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Yes, Zhou Fang has plans to betray you. He'll try to ambush Cao Xiu, but you can easily foil his ambush party. At the start, quickly defeat Ding Feng, and he'll say "Lord Zhao Fang... I leave the rest to you..." Yeah, for some reason, the officers here call Zhou Fang "Zhao Fang". Don't ask. Once you defeat Ding Feng (who somewhat sounds more like a generic strategist now), Sima Yi will know about Zhou Fang and will order to reach up to Cao Xiu to stop him from overpursuing. If Cao Xiu IS ambushed, defeat Zhou Fang. Zhu Zhi and Xu Sheng will be the ambushers to attack Cao Xiu. When Wan Castle's (yes, Wan Castle) gates open, Sima Yi will order to charge, but Lu Xun still has some thing up his sleeves. He'll use a Wu ambush party to attack Sima Yi. Defeat all ambush enemies to save Sima Yi before he's toasted. And defeat the enemy officers outside the castle, before charging into the castle. Huang Gai will then attack you once you set foot, but you can defeat him, even if he's a bomb-atic. Now all you have to do is defeat Zhuge Jin, and finally fire boy himself (aka Lu Xun).

OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sun Jian. (Note) Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. Note: If Sun Shang Xiang does appear here, she'll become the enemy commander after defeating Sun Jian, I think. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 Hey, get this. If you're playing this stage as Zhang Liao and you're trying to lure Sun Jian across the Xiao Shi Bridge, Sun Jian will challenge you to a duel. But it's almost impossible to defeat him in a duel. Anyway, I'll split this up. LEFT PATH You'll be fighting Dong Xi, Zhu Ran, and further ahead Cheng Pu. Go and defeat them. Lu Xun will also make his reinforcement appearance at this path. When he arrives, defeat pyromaniac boy. MIDDLE PATH Wait until Zhang Liao lures Sun Jian towards Li Dian's ambush area, then Sun Jian's reinforcement sub-officers Ling Tong and Jiang Qin will appear. Defeat Sun Jian. Oh, and eventually, he'll make a miraculous jump through the broken down Xiao Shi Bridge (that bridge looked fancy, stupid Sima Yi destroying it :( ...). If you DO manage to defeat Sun Jian before he makes the jump, though, you won't end the stage. Instead, Taishi Ci will appear to help the Wu forces, and Sun Jian will eventually appear back at Wu's camp. Defeat Taishi Ci when he appears. RIGHT PATH Here, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, and Lu Su will say hi to you. Say hi to them by defeating them. Also, Gan Ning's fleet will eventually dock somewhere near this path. When he arrives, go and take out the pirate. Once you reach Sun Jian, take out all other enemy officers and Han Dang. Also, when enemy reinforcements arrive, Sun Jian's forces will charge straight to He Fei Castle, and Sun Jian will move somewhere to the right path. The Wu officers will charge upwards and try to intrude through He Fei. Once the Wu officers are taken care of, go and defeat Sun Jian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Tales: Dong Zhuo Lives! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wei - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo, when playing Battle of Hu Lao Gate, allow Dong Zhuo to retreat and escape. Then, in Wei - Act III: The Rise of Cao Cao, skip Battle of Wan Castle. This tale stage will appear after Wei - Act V. Story: After barely surviving in Hu Lao Gate against the allied forces, Dong Zhuo retreats. He regains his lost power and attacks in Ji Province. It would be Cao Cao, who was the first architect of the structure of the alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo, to stop him once and for all.

Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Dong Zhuo has made a comeback for revenge, and Cao Cao has made an Operation: Assasinate Dong Zhuo. The battle site? A part of the land where the Yellow Turban Rebellion started, Ji Province. The battlefield looks so small. Your first thing to do is to defeat either Dong Min or Zhang Ji. Then enemy reinforcements will arrive in an order. Also, note that each enemy reinforcement arrival will raise Dong Zhuo's Forces' overall morale and reduce Wei Forces' overall morale, so morale may not really help much around here this time, but try to raise as much morale as possible anyway. 1'00'01-Zhao Cen and Wang Fang 3'00'01-Guo Si and Fan Chou 6'00'01-Li Jue and Li Meng 10'00'01-Xu Rong, Niou Fu, and Hu Zhen Zhao Cen will appear to the east, while Wang Fang will appear to the west. Then, Guo Si and Fan Chou will appear near the northwest section. Next, Li Jue and Li Meng will appear near the northeast section. Finally, Xu Rong will appear to the northeast, Niou Fu behind Cao Cao, and Hu Zhen to the northwest. After defeating all enemy officers that are currently on the map, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru will appear to the top. First, defeat Li Ru, then defeat Dong Zhuo and, as Pang De would quote it, the "villainous invading scum" will die down once and for all. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wei - Final Act: The End Of The Three Kingdoms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Act V was the Fall of Shu, then the stages from The Fall of Wu will appear here, and if Act V was the Fall of Wu, then the stages from The Fall of Shu will appear here. After that, a final battle between one of the kingdoms will begin. Battle of Cheng Du Region: Cheng Du --- Wei Forces VS Shu Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER Liu Bei UNIT INFO Wei Forces Shu Forces ---------- ---------- Cao Cao Zhuge Liang -Sima Zhao -Jiang Wei -Xiahou Ba Ma Su -Xiahou Wei -Guan Xing Sima Yi -Guan Suo -Deng Ai Ma Dai *-Xiahou Hui -Mi Zhu *-Xiahou He Wei Yan Cao Pi Yue Ying Random Wei officer -Li Yan Cao Zhen Wang Ping Cao Zhang -Liao Hua -Jia Kui -Gao Xiang Cao Hong *Zhang Bao -Man Chong *Ma Chao *Wei Yan (Note) *Liu Bei *-Ma Liang *-Guan Yu *-Guan Ping *-Zhang Yi Note: You can get Wei Yan to defect to the Wei forces. To do this, when Yue Ying and Zhuge Liang scold him for trying to attack, defeat Ma Su before any Wei forces approach Wei Yan's position. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 To start off, if you're in the north paths, defeat Wang Ping. You can try to defeat Liao Hua and Gao Xiang, but it's unnecessary, because you should've gotten a level 9 weapon, now. If you start to the south, defeat Mi Zhu and Ma Dai. After Cao Cao announces the order to take Luo Castle by defeating Ma Su, Yue Ying and Zhuge Liang will try to command Wei Yan to resist the urge to attack, and Wei Yan will be a little displeased with Zhuge Liang. This should be a clue. Yes, you can get Wei Yan to defect. To do this, defeat Ma Su quickly and take Luo Castle before your Wei soldiers approach Wei Yan's position. Sima Yi will then convince Wei Yan to join Wei so he can satisfy his adventure of bloodshed. When you approach Luo Castle, Zhuge Liang will use the arbalests to try stopping you from taking the castle. Sima Yi will counter attack with the rams. He's observed that Zhuge Liang's arbalests cannot fire directly downward, so the trick is to advance the rams to the gates when the arbalests are reloading. If you take too long trying to take Luo Castle, Ma Su will eventually open up the gates and ambush your forces inside the castle. Once you take Luo Castle, you can either go north into Mian Zhu or south. NORTH PATH TO MIAN ZHU FOREST After taking Luo Castle, Zhuge Liang will order his ambush parties ready to ambush in the foggy Bamboo Forest. Here's the list. From Luo Castle's west entrance to Mian Shu, if you make a slight right turn at the first T fork (up according to the map) and then make a left turn, you should find Zhang Yi's ambush. If you go to Mian Zhu's north path and continue going, you should find Guan Ping's ambush near the north enemy gate captain. If you go the Mian Zhu's south path and continue going, Guan Yu will eventually ambush you. Also, when you trigger one of the enemy officer ambushes, Liu Bei and Ma Liang will appear. SOUTH PATH A little further up ahead in the south path, Li Yan will attack. Defeat him to clear the threat, and to lower Yue Ying's morale. When you approach Yue Ying, she will use Juggernauts at you. The Juggernauts, in case you do not know what they are, are tiger-headed fire blowing tank machines. They will hurt. Defeat Yue Ying to stop the Juggernauts. About now, or soon, you'll see a rather funny scene where your soldiers are charging and then suddenly, BOOM! The grounds have been spread with mines. Good thinking, Zhuge Liang. You can use a Shadow Harness and get past the mined path, while being bombarded with mines. While you're fighting, Ma Chao will eventually appear in Luo Castle and will fight his way to Cao Cao. Defeat Ma Chao, and then return to your scheduled programming of approaching the gates of Cheng Du. Once you approach Liu Bei, the fun begins. You'll see a scene where Liu Bei's people dress up as warriors and a peasant militia will attack. These peasants will have very low HP, so it's gonna be fun to kill them all. Take out Ma Liang, Jiang Wei, and Zhuge Liang while you're at it. And also, defeat all other enemy officers that you haven't killed yet. Once you defeat Liu Bei, Cao Cao will win, and he reigns his supremeness over China! Battle of Jian Ye Region: Wu Territory --- Wei Forces VS Wu Forces Cao Cao COMMANDER 1. Sun Jian 2. Sun Ce 3. Sun Quan 4. Sun Shang Xiang UNIT INFO Wei Forces Wu Forces ---------- --------- Cao Cao Sun Jian -Deng Ai Sun Ce Random Wei officer Sun Quan -Cao Zhang Sun Shang Xiang Cao Pi Taishi Ci -Cao Hong -Zhu Ran -Jia Kui -Ding Feng Zhang Liao Zhou Tai -Man Chong -Xu Sheng -Hu Zhi -Sun Shao Huang Gai -Jiang Qin *Zhuge Jin OBJECTIVES: Victory-1. Defeat Sun Jian. 2. Defeat Sun Ce. 3. Defeat Sun Quan. 4. Defeat Sun Shang Xiang. Defeat-Cao Cao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This is exactly the same thing as Shu's version, but since scrolling would be a bit slow, I feel like I should put a walkthrough here anyway. First off, since this is the same thing that means the respawning of the Sun children, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang. And yes, the Sun Jian clones attack as well. yOU CAN CHOOSE THE LEFT PATH, THE MIDDLE PATH, OR THE RIGHT PATH. wHOOPS, MY CAPS LOCK IS ON. (pRESSES CAPS LOCK BUTTON OFF) There, that's better. If you choose the left path, you'll have to fight Taishi Ci and his two sub-officers, Zhu Ran and Ding Feng. Going in the middle path will result in you having to fight Huang Gai and Jiang Qin. You choose the right path and you fight Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, and Sun Shao. Also, once you defeat any enemy sub-officers, the Sun Jian clones will attack. If you defeat one of the clones, or you wait for a while, Zhuge Jin and another Sun Jian clone will attack Cao Cao from behind. Defeat Zhuge Jin and the Sun Jian clones. Did I mention that defeating a Sun Jian clone brings down the real Sun Jian's morale? Once you open up a gate by defeating either Taishi Ci, Huang Gai, or Zhou Tai, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang will attack. Defeating them for now does no good, as they spawn ad infinitum. Instead, go down the south middle fort to fight the real Sun Jian. Defeat him, and Sun Ce will become commander, and Sun Quan and Sun Shang Xiang will spawn infinitely. Defeat Sun Ce, and Sun Quan becomes commander, and Sun Shang Xiang will spawn ado infinitumo. Defeat Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang will become commander, in which killing her in her commander form will end the game in victory. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- \ /\ / | | \/ \/ |__| Wu Musou Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Act I: The Tiger of Jiang Dong ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han Forces has been rebelled by a sect of people who believes in Heaven and summons magic. This sect is known as the Yellow Turbans, because all of the members of this sect wear yellow scarves on their heads. The leader of this sect is Zhang Jiao. The Han Imperial Forces now set off to fight the Yellow Turban. Among these men fighting against the Yellow Turbans are the Shu founder Liu Bei, the Wei founder Cao Cao, and the Wu founder, Sun Jian. The Yellow Turban Menace Region: Xu Province Bonus: Defeating Zhang Liang here will cause him to not appear in The Yellow Turban Rebellion. --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans Huangfu Song COMMANDER Zhang Liang UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- Huangfu Song Zhang Liang Cao Cao -Han Xian -Random Wei officer Zhang Man Cheng -Random Wei officer Guan Hai Sun Jian Gao Sheng -Random Wu officer Deng Mao -Random Wu officer Huang Shao Liu Bei Liu Pi -Random Shu officer *He Yi -Random Shu officer *Yan Zheng OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Liang. Defeat-Huangfu Song is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is exactly the same thing as Shu's and Wei's versions of the stage. But the Wu forces start off to the east. First, defeat Guan Hai and Liu Pi, to clear the east gate of all enemies. Then go south and defeat Gao Sheng. Once you defeat three enemy officers or once any of your forces go north, Zhang Liang will call forth a rainstorm. Huangfu Song will advance, only to be ambushed by He Yi at the waterway, and Yan Zheng at the north right gate. Defeat He Yi and Yan Zheng when they ambush Huangfu Song to prevent Huangfu Song's death, since his defeat means a game over. Once that's done, defeat Deng Mao and Huang Shao to clear the west gate. Now you can go north and defeat Zhang Man Cheng, Han Xian, and Zhang Liang. Note that if you defeat all enemy officers except Zhang Liang (including sub-officers) Zhang Liang will try to retreat, but he will fight if he engages any Han forces in battle. The Yellow Turban Fortress Region: Guan Du Bonus: Defeating Zhang Bao here will cause him to not appear in The Yellow Turban Rebellion. --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans Zhu Jun COMMANDER Zhang Bao UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- Zhu Jun Zhang Bao Cao Cao Cheng Yuanzhi -Random Wei officer Zhou Cang -Random Wei officer Pei Yuan Shao Sun Jian He Yi -Random Wu officer Bo Zhang -Random Wu officer Liu Bei -Random Shu officer -Random Shu officer OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Bao. Defeat-Zhu Jun is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is exactly the same thing as Shu's and Wei's versions of the stage, but Sun Jian's forces will march to the east and fight Bo Zhang and Zhou Cang. And be attacked by the Phantom Army spell. LEFT PATH Defeat Bo Zhang to open the entrance to the battlement. A Phantom Army spell will attack the Han forces. As Sun Jian says, "Behind every spell there is always some gimmick." And he's right. There are two glowing implements. One is near the exit gate of the battlement. From there, go right according to the map to find the other one. Oh yeah, while taking them glowing things out, take down Zhou Cang. Oh yeah, later Zhou Cang will join your Shu forces. RIGHT PATH Go ahead and defeat He Yi. Also take out the gate captain near him. When you go deep inside the circular path at the right path Pei Yuan Shao will summon what appears to be the magical powers of the wind. As Cao Cao says, keep advancing against the wind to the bottom of the circular path and you'll discover it's not magic that creates the wind, rather, the winds are being created by windmills. You can destroy the windmills by hitting them until they fall. Destroying the windmills will stop the winds, and you'll get a comment about stopping the winds. Then take out Pei Yuan Shao. Either way, when you reach the castle at the bottom of the map (called Guan Du Castle), Cheng Yuanzhi will be guarding the gates, and defeating him will open up the gates. Note that if you defeat all enemy officers (including sub- officers, but there is none!) and defeating the gate captain close to Zhang Bao, this will cause him to withdraw. The Yellow Turban Rebellion Region: Ji Province --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans He Jin COMMANDER Zhang Jiao UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- He Jin Zhang Jiao Cao Cao -Huang Shao -Random Wei officer -Liu Pi -Random Wei officer -Zhou Cang Sun Jian -Han Xian -Random Wu officer Zhang Bao (Note) -Random Wu officer Zhang Man Cheng Liu Bei -Guan Hai -Random Shu officer Zhang Liang (Note) -Random Shu officer Bo Zhang -Deng Mao Pei Yuan Shao -He Yi -Yan Zheng Cheng Yuanzhi -Gao Sheng Note: If you have defeated Zhang Liang and/or Zhang Bao in The Yellow Turban Menace and/or the Yellow Turban Fortress, they will not appear here, and thus, their spells will be nullified. But if both are not present, Zhang Jiao will summon a rockslide when you reach the Ji Province city, and Bo Zhang will become powered up if Zhang Liang does not appear, and Zhang Man Cheng will be powered up if Zhang Bao does not appear. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Jiao. Defeat-He Jin is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This is the same thing as Shu's and Wei's versions of this stage. But this time, you'll start off to the west. First, defeat Pei Yuan Shao's two sub- officers, He Yi and Yan Zheng. Then Gao Sheng will be wandering not too far from He Yi and Yan Zheng. Take him out too. Then it's once again a choice time, left or right. LEFT PATH If you chose the left path, you'll deal with Guan Hai and Zhang Man Cheng. And Zhang Bao if you did not defeat him in The Yellow Turban Fortress. If he does appear, he'll activate flame geysers that can damage you. If he does not appear, the flame geyser event will not be around, but Zhang Man Cheng will be powered up, as I said in the note above. But still he's not too hard. Then go ahead and skip the right path section. RIGHT PATH By going to the right path, you will deal with Deng Mao and Bo Zhang. Zhang Liang will also appear if you did not defeat him in The Yellow Turban Menace. If he does appear, he'll send a not-good rock slide attack. These rocks can take a good amount of health away from you. But these rocks can't differentiate whether if it's friend or foe, so it also hits the turban boys. Defeating Zhang Liang will stop the rock attack, but a few rocks will still roll around. If Liang doesn't appear, Bo Zhang will be powered, but like Man Cheng, he's not too hard even if he's powered up. Either way, go ahead and take out Zhou Cang and Han Xian. If both Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang did not appear, Zhang Jiao will summon a rock slide attack similar to that of Zhang Liang's, but this one cannot be stopeed, but it can be easily avoided. From not on it's just a matter of taking down Zhang Jiao's remaining sub-officers (which should be Huang Shao and Liu Pi) before taking out Zhang Jiao. Note that if you take down all officers (including sub- officers) and defeat the gate captain right next to Zhang Jiao, Jiao will retreat. This is vital for unlocking this act's tale, Return of the Yellow Turbans. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Tales: Return of the Yellow Turbans ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: Clear Wu Musou mode once. In Wu - Act I: The Tiger of Jiang Dong, clear or skip the Yellow Turban Menace. Skip The Yellow Turban Fortress. In The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao must retreat. This tale stage will appear after Act - I: The Tiger of Jiang Dong. Story: Following the defeat of the Yellow Turbans in Ji Province, Zhang Jiao flees to Han Zhong and is helped by Zhang Lu, who is also a mystical leader. They attempt to start another rebellion. Sun Jian rises to once again stop Zhang Jiao. Eliminate Zhang Jiao! Region: Han Zhong --- Sun Jian's Forces VS Yellow Turbans Sun Jian COMMANDER Zhang Jiao/Zhang Lu UNIT INFO Sun Jian's Forces Yellow Turbans ----------------- -------------- Sun Jian Zhang Jiao Huang Gai -Zhang Bao Sun Shang Xiang -Zhang Liang Pei Yuan Shao He Yi Bo Zhang *Zhang Lu (Note) *Huang Gai (Note) *Sun Shang Xiang (Note) Note: If you do not defeat all of Zhang Lu's troops and just defeat Zhang Lu, he'll reappear every time because he's a phantom. Huang Gai and Sun Shang Xiang will only defect to the Yellow Turbans if you do not stop Zhang Lu before he reaches Zhang Jiao and casts the spell that makes your ally soldiers defect. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is basically the same thing as the Shu and Wei versions of it, except Sun Jian will be today's commander and Huang Gai and Sun Shang Xiang will be the chosen victims for the combined spell of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu. I'll post a walkthrough anyway. First off, defeat He Yi and Bo Zhang to take control of the south fortress. When Zhang Lu arrives, take down all of his troops. Don't bother defeating him, because he's a phantom. If Zhang Lu meets up with Zhang Jiao, the two will cast a spell that will turn your forces against you, Sun Shang Xiang and Huang Gai included. Don't charge to Zhang Jiao yet, as Zhang Liang will summon a strong wind to stop you if you try to. Once you defeat Zhang Lu's whole troops, the real Zhang Lu will be sighted. Defeat Zhang Lu, and Zhang Jiao will desperately cast a weaker spell that makes only your soldiers turn against you, and not Sun Shang and Huang Gai. Once you defeat Zhang Jiao, it's all over. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Tales: The Two Qiaos ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: Clear Wu Musou Mode once. In Wu - Act I: The Tiger of Jiang Dong, skip The Yellow Turban Menace. Clear the Yellow Turban Fortress and The Yellow Turban Rebellion. This tale stage will appear after Wu - Act I: The Tiger of Jiang Dong. Story: The Two Qiaos, known to be the most beautiful girls, have been captured by the tyrant, Dong Zhuo. When Sun Jian's oldest son, Sun Ce, hears of this, he sets off to save the two beautiful sisters. The Two Qiaos Region: He Fei --- Sun Jian's Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Sun Ce COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Sun Jian's Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ----------------- ------------------ Sun Ce *Niou Fu Da Qiao *Dong Zhuo Xiao Qiao *Li Jue *Guo Si *Hua Xiong *Xu Rong *Li Ru OBJECTIVES: Victory-Rescue Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao and escort them safely to the Escape Point. Defeat-Any officer in Sun Jian's Forces is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Your mission here is to rescue Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. First off, unless you're Sun Ce, Da Qiao, or Xiao Qiao, you'll start to the southwest bridge. Open up the east outside gate. Then go to Xiao Qiao's position and defeat the enemy soldiers near her, and Xiao Qiao will ask you to rescue her sister, inside He Fei Castle. Once you approach He Fei's south gate, it will open. Quickly storm in to find Da Qiao surrounded by enemies. Kill them all, and rescue Da. Once Xiao and Da meet up, Da Qiao will ask to be escorted with Xiao Qiao, Sun Ce, and you (if you're not Sun Ce, that is) south to the escape point. Make your way to the west outside gate, and wait. As you wait, Niou Fu will arrive as enemy reinforcements, with defense troops. Shortly later, Dong Zhuo will make his return to the south, find out that both girls have escaped, and make his way back inside He Fei Castle (I wonder what he was doing before...). Xiao Qiao will then suggest hiding from the enemy. If you go in the northern alcoves in either the west or east route, you can hide there. NEVER STAND IN THE MIDDLE POSITION!!! If you do, then all enemy officers will find and attack you. Did I mention Da and Xiao have sucky defense? So, you'd actually want to fight a MINIMUM number of enemies. Watch out. Hua Xiong has been powered up, so if he finds you, quickly take him out. You'll know when they split up when an enemy soldier says "Damn! Where did they go?" and Dong Zhuo says "Idiots! Split up and search for them!" I tell you, it's much easier to take out enemy soldiers one by one. Otherwise, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao will have a much harder time surviving when enemy officers attack them, _especially_ the powered up Hua Xiong. Also, when you approach the escape point near Guo Si, Li Ru will ambush you. Once you defeat them both, cross to the escape point gate, and you're done. Note that you MUST defeat both Guo Si and Li Ru to escape. Also, if you clear this stage as Sun Ce or Zhou Yu, you get a rather funny scene where Sun Ce tries to act cool in front of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu is a bit annoyed on why he has to posture in front of beautiful girls. :P ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han Forces successfully stop Zhang Jiao and defeat the Yellow Turbans. However, following the rebellion, it is the heinous Dong Zhuo who manages to gain control of the Han Forces and quickly uses their power for his rule of tyranny. He also has the mightiest warrior of the time, Lu Bu. Cao Cao calls an alliance with Yuan Shao as commander and with the alliance, they come to stop Dong Zhuo. The members are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. Battle of Si Shui Gate Region: Xu Chang Bonus: If you take over the supply depot in Si Shui Gate, Sun Jian will gain morale boost in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. If you defeat Hua Xiong, he will not ambush Yuan Shao in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. --- Allied Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Li Jue UNIT INFO Allied Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ------------- ------------------ Yuan Shao Li Jue -Zhang He -Li Meng Yuan Shu -Yang Feng Gongsun Zan Guo Si Cao Cao Li Ru -Random Wei officer Hua Xiong Sun Jian -Hu Zhen -Random Wu officer -Zhao Cen Liu Bei Fan Chou -Random Shu officer -Wang Fang Niou Fu Gao Shun Li Su *Zhang Liao OR Dong Min OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Li Jue. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 For Sun Jian's forces, you'll start near Si Shui Gate. Defeat Li Su, Gao Shun, and Niou Fu. Then quickly race it to the back of the supply depot and defeat Fan Chou and Wang Fang, so Sun Jian will be able to fight Hua Xiong. Then defeat Li Ru and Guo Si. If you don't take over the depot in time, eventually Sun Jian's forces will have a morale drop, Sun Jian will say "Where is the supply convoy? Our morale is dwindling!", a message will say "Si Shui Gate's first and second gates have opened, and Hua Xiong will charge out of the gates. When Sun Jian withdraws, you'll get a message saying "Hua Xiong's unit is charging!" and Yuan Shao saying "Are there no warriors here that can defeat Hua Xiong!?!" If you defeat him (if you want weapon experience to level up your weapon, take out Hua Xiong's two sub-officers Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen before taking Hua Xiong out) you'll get a scene in which you'll announce that you defeated Hua Xiong. If Zhang Liao arrives as reinforcements, he'll attack Yuan Shao. Go and take him out. If you have already unlocked Liao for Wei, then Dong Min will be an enemy reinforcement officer, but won't attack Yuan Shao. Either way, a few minutes after Hua Xiong has been defeated regardless of finding the supply depot or not, Li Jue will say "Si Shui Gate is lost! Retreat!" and withdraw (annoying if you need some weapon experience). Battle of Hu Lao Gate Region: Luo Yang --- Allied Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Allied Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ------------- ------------------ Yuan Shao Dong Zhuo -Yan Liang -Niou Fu -Wen Chou -Fan Chou Yuan Shu -Wang Fang Gongsun Zan Li Ru Cao Cao -Xu Rong -Random Wei officer Li Jue Sun Jian -Jia Xu -Random Wu officer Guo Si Liu Bei -Li Meng -Random Shu officer Diao Chan Zhang Liao OR Dong Min -Gao Shun *Lu Bu *Hua Xiong (Note) *-Hu Zhen (Note) *-Zhao Cen (Note) Note: If you have defeated Hua Xiong in Battle of Si Shui Gate, he, along with Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen, will not appear to ambush Yuan Shao. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Dong Zhuo. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 You start to the east this time, so defeat Guo Si to open up the gate. Then help Cao Cao and Liu Bei by taking down Li Ru and Zhang Liao or Dong Min (whichever one appears). Then when the ram appears, wait until it breaks through Hu Lao Gate. Now Lu Bu has come. Lu Bu is so powerful that it's nearly impossible to defeat him without a level 9 weapon (but still possible, use counters). If you don't want to defeat Lu Bu, go ahead and skip him. Just go to Diao Chan and defeat the songstress (who cares if she's beautiful?). That will open up Luo Yang's gates, where Dong Zhuo will set fire to it once you enter it. Go and defeat the remaining officers (besides Lu Bu if you don't want to). If you DO defeat Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo will retreat a few minutes later after you enter Luo Yang. If you are trying to defeat Lu Bu and you take too much time attacking him, Dong Zhuo will eventually open Luo Yang's gates without burning the city and his army will charge. If he does charge, every enemy officer alive will have an eight-star morale. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Tales: The Symbol of the Mandate ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wu - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo, skip Battle of Si Shui Gate. This tale stage will appear after Wu - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo. Story: After defeating Dong Zhuo in Luo Yang, the allied forces depart on their own places. But Sun Jian wants to patrol the area. When he hears of the legendary Imperial Seal in Luo Yang, Sun Jian wants to find it, because he knows with the seal, it can give him the status of the emperor of Wu. But Dong Zhuo, who has also heard of the seal located, goes to find it as well. Now Sun Jian must find the seal, for it cannot be put into the hands of a tyrant! The Imperial Seal Region: Luo Yang --- Sun Jian's Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Sun Jian's Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ----------------- ------------------ Sun Jian Zhang Liao Diao Chan Li Jue *Lu Bu *Dong Zhuo *-Hu Zhen *-Li Ru OBJECTIVES: Victory-Find the Imperial Seal. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated, or Dong Zhuo escapes. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 This is, in my humble opinion, the most boring stage ever. But you can make things end quickly. First off, forget about being hidden. Trust me. Go defeat Zhang Liao in the northeast section, Diao Chan in the southwest section, and Li Jue in the northwest section. Defeating them all will cause Lu Bu to appear. No worries. He's much weaker than he was back in Battle of Hu Lao Gate, so he'll be much easier to defeat. After defeating Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo will appear in the northwest, along with Hu Zhen in the northeast, and Li Ru in the southwest. Now, destroy 70 wooden boxes (or crates, as the game says), BUT make sure before breaking the 70th wooden box that Dong Zhuo moves somewhere to the northeast section and that the 70th broken box is near him. Do NOT defeat Dong Zhuo yet, but you may defeat Hu Zhen and Li Ru if you want to. Once you break the 70th box near him, Hu Zhen and Li Ru will have found the Imperial Seal (even if they're defeated, strangely...), and Dong Zhuo will escape to the northwest. Now you see, right? Just go and defeat Dong Zhuo before he escapes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Act III: The Little Conqueror ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: After defeating the tyrant Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and the others go off to rule the land. However, along the way back to his territory, Sun Jian's forces have been attacked by Liu Biao, who is also secretly helped by the forces of the esteemed Yuan Shao. To make matters worse, Liu Yong and his allied forces of Wang Lang and Yan Baihu have taken Sun Jian's territory. There is an even greater threat. After Yuan Shu lost a battle to Cao Cao, he allies with his friend Liu Xun, and together they are the greatest forces in the Wu Territory. However, Sun Jian is supported by his oldest son, Sun Ce, who is known as the 'Little Conqueror', and his intelligent strategist, Zhou Yu. Assualt on Liu Biao Region: Xiang Yang Bonus: If you clear this stage with Huang Zu defeated, he and Zhang Hu will not appear in Unification of Jiang Dong. If you defeat Lu Gong before he successfully makes his retreat inside Xiang Yang Fortress and prevent the appearances of Yan Liang and Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou will appear in Campaign for the Wu Territory. --- Sun Jian's Forces VS Liu Biao's Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Liu Biao UNIT INFO Sun Jian's Forces Liu Biao's Forces ----------------- ----------------- Sun Jian Liu Biao -Cheng Pu Kuai Liang Sun Ce Lu Gong Random Wu officer Huang Zu Zhu Zhi Chen Sheng -Han Dang *Zhang Hu *Cai Mao *Yan Liang (Note) *Yuan Shao (Note) Note: Yan Liang and Yuan Shao will only appear if Lu Gong retreats in to Xiang Yang Fortress and the gates close. But be aware if Yan Liang and Yuan Shao do not appear here, they will appear in Campaign for the Wu Territory. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Biao. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 This battle is frustrating. Not because it's hard, but because Sun Jian's urge to kill Liu Biao makes him die most of the time. And if you leave him, he's the one that will die. And if you protect him, Sun Ce, that Wu officer to the north whos' random, Zhu Zhi, and Han Dang will most likely be defeated by the enemy. You'd most likely want to escort Sun Jian and forget about the others. At the start of the battle, Sun Jian will pursue Lu Gong, who will lure him into an ambush inside Xiang Yang Fortres. If the gates of the fortress do close, then expect for Yan Liang to appear to the east. Campaign for the Wu Territory Region: Wu Territory Bonus: Clearing this stage will cause Zhou Yu to say that the Wu forces took the supplies from Liu Yong's forces. --- Sun Jian's Forces VS Allied Forces Sun Ce COMMANDER Liu Yong UNIT INFO Sun Jian's Forces Allied Forces ----------------- ------------- Sun Ce Liu Yong -Cheng Pu -Xue Li *Jiang Qin Zhang Ying (Note) Zhou Yu -Yu Mi -Han Dang Taishi Ci OR Zhang Yi Random Wu officer Fan Neng Random Wu officer -Chen Heng *Taishi Ci (Note) *Yan Baihu *-Yan Yu *Wang Lang *-Zhou Xin *Yuan Shao (Note) *-Yan Liang (Note) *-Wen Chou (Note) Note: Taishi Ci will only appear as a non-random officer if you haven't unlocked him yet. To have him as your ally, defeat Taishi Ci and he'll surrender to you in an event, and will withdraw to think for serving Wu and creating a whole new world. Eventually after this event, he'll reappear to fight against the allied forces. If Zhang Ying successfully retreats, then he'll later reappear at Mo Ling Castle. Yuan Shao, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou will only appear if Yuan Shao's forces did not appear as enemy reinforcements in Assault on Liu Biao. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Yong. Defeat-Sun Ce is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Sun Jian, Sun Jian will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 To start off, Taishi Ci or Zhang Yi (depending on whether you unlocked Taishi Ci or not, if you have, then Zhang Yi will appear, otherwise, Taishi Ci will be around... and what's a Shu officer doing here anyways? LOL) will destroy Shen Di bridge, so you'll have to choose the long way, unless somehow you miraculously make it through the bridge and take the shortcut. So, if you're forced to take the long way, go east. As soon as you cross that bridge, Yu Mi (uh, Yu Mi, is it pronounced you-me?) will retreat inside Niu Zhu Fortress, and the gates will close after he retreats. Sun Ce will send Jiang Qin to infiltrate the fortress. If you have a harness, you can make it inside the fortress before the gates close. If you have to wait, then when Jiang Qin does open the gate, Zhang Ying will retreat. He WILL eventually reappear inside Mo Ling Castle to the south if he does retreat. After he's out of the battle, go west (you can't go south to Fan Neng yet) and you'll have to fight Taishi Ci or Zhang Yi. If Taishi Ci appears, be prepared, because he's tough. But you'll need to fight him to open up Shen Di Castle's gates. Note that if you defeat Taishi Ci you'll see an event where your character tries to convince Taishi Ci to build a whole new world and join the Wu forces. Taishi Ci will then withdraw, and some minutes later he'll rejoin the battle on your side. Anyway, defeating Taishi Ci will open up the gates, but it'll also cause some enemy reinforcements to appear, and cause Liu Yong to pull back into Mo Ling Castle, which is the south castle. The enemy reinforcement officersYan Baihu, Yan Yu, Wang Lang, and Zhou Xin. And yes, that IS the same Wang Lang from the Wei forces. You see, before he joined Wei, he was the governor of a part of the Jing province. And yes, you will fight him later in one battle against the Wei forces. But Zhou Xin... he doesn't join Wei, because in history, he was long dead before Wang Lang joined Wei. But Yan Baihu and Yan Yu have their own forces. Oh and mixtures of blue, green, and gray appear here. You know, this is like the one battle besides the Yellow Turban stages and Dong Zhuo stages where a Shu officer and a Wei officer are in the same team (Wang Lang and Zhang Yi). Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, if you prevented Lu Gong's retreat and defeated Lu Gong in Assault on Liu Biao, and prevent the appearances of Yan Liang and Yuan Shao in that stage as well, then Yuan Shao, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou will appear here. Add that to 'Weird Alliances list'. Cao Cao wouldn't let one of his officers have an alliance with both a Shu officer and Yuan Shao. Heh. Anyway, once you defeat them all (make sure you defeat Xue Li as well, he is positioned in the middle of Shen Di Castle). make your way to the southeast, where Fan Neng and Chen Heng are. Zhou Yu has reports that the southeast fort is a supply depot. The west entrance of the supply depot has a gong. Chen Heng is over there as well, so first defeat Chen Heng. Then ring the gong (whack it with your weapon). Fan Neng, who obviously doesn't know the meaning of check, will open up the gates. Now go defeat that stupid idiot. Once the supply depot is down, Sun Ce will order a charge to Liu Yong. Also, by now if Zhang Ying retreated, he will reappear in Mo Ling, and Taishi Ci will appear under your forces if he appeared and you defeated him. Once you defeat Liu Yong, it's all over. Wow, that was a weird alliance.

Xi Sai's south gate. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Xun. Defeat-Sun Ce is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Sun Jian, Sun Jian will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 At the start of the battle, quickly help Zhou Yu guard the supply depot and defeat Li Feng, Chen Ji, and Yue Jiu. Once you defeat them, Zhou Yu will say "The supply depot was successfully defended. Now we do not need to worry about our rear flank." Liang Gang will guard Wan Castle's north gate (WTF? Wasn't the castle called Shen Di Castle in Campaign for the Wu Territory?) Defeat him to open it up. You will then see a scene where Yuan Shu swears not to leave Liu Xun and will guard Liu Xun's rear flank. Liu Xun will then retreat to the Mt. Xi Sai where Yuan Yin is, along with a familiar Yellow Turban officer (don't ask me why Han Xian's around, I don't know! The encyclopedia doesn't state it...) and a familiar officer from Dong Zhuo's forces (according to the encyclopedia, after Yang Feng left Dong Zhuo's forces, he lost against Cao Cao so he had to serve Yuan Shu). Anyway, go defeat Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Yuan Shu. Defeating Yuan Shu opens up all of Wan Castle's gates. Now march southward (the east gate of Mt. Xi Sai is not opened until Yuan Yin is defeated, but the south gate is opened up already). Along the way, Ji Ling will say hi to you. Go defeat him, and then go to the south gate. Note that if you cleared Assault on Liu Biao without Huang Zu and Zhang Hu defeated, they will both appear when you enter the south gate of Mt. Xi Sai. Huang Zu will target Sun Ce, so quickly defeat him. Once that's over, go and defeat the remaining enemy officers back in Mt. Xi Sai. And remember to say "Heavens judge your soul, Han Xian!" Or something like that. Also, remember to say "Who else seeks death? Yang Feng seeks death?" Or something. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Tales: The Tiger's Adversary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wu - Act III: The Little Conqueror, skip both Assault on Liu Biao and Campaign for the Wu Territory. This tale stage will appear after Wu - Act III: The Little Conqueror. Story: Sun Jian has managed to defeat Liu Xun and gain control of the Wu Territory. However, there are still enemies wanting to defeat him. As he makes his way back home, an unpleasant surprise greets him, as Liu Biao, Liu Yong, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang team up to destroy the Tiger of Jiang Dong. Unification of Jing Region: Yi Ling --- Sun Jian's Forces VS Allied Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Liu Biao/Liu Yong/Yan Baihu/Wang Lang UNIT INFO Sun Jian's Forces Allied Forces ----------------- ------------- Sun Jian Liu Biao -Sun Ce -Huang Zu -Sun Quan -Lu Gong -Kuai Liang Liu Yong -Zhang Ying Yan Baihu -Yan Yu Wang Lang -Zhou Xin OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Biao, Liu Yong, Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Start out by going west into Liu Biao's castle. Defeat Lu Gong and Kuai Liang. When you approach the inner area of the castle, the enemy officers will launch a joint attack. Now defeat Huang Zu and kill Liu Biao. By now, Zhang Ying and Liu Yong should have approached the entrance of the castle. Take them out. Now go east and defeat the four remaining enemy officers, Yan Yu, Yan Baihu, Zhou Xin, and Wang Lang. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Act IV: Showdown in Chi Bi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Sun Jian now has taken over the Wu territory. His oldest son Sun Ce had become a great warrior, and his older son Sun Quan had become a fine warrior as well. Now Cao Cao has decided to defeat both Shu and Wu. Sun Jian and Liu Bei agree to an alliance to defeat Cao Cao, Zhou Yu being a strategist, who has devised a plan to win against Cao Cao. However, there are also other threats. Huang Zu, who had survived when Sun Jian attacked Liu Biao, controls a fleet and is attacking Xia Kou. Meng Huo is attacking in Nan Zhong, and now Sun Jian has to be defensive, for that is the key to eliminate the threats. Battle of Xia Kou Region: Chi Bi Bonus: If Gan Ning appears here, and he surrenders to you, he will appear in Battle of Chi Bi. --- Sun Jian's Forces VS Huang Zu's Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Huang Zu UNIT INFO Sun Jian's Forces Huang Zu's Forces ----------------- ----------------- Sun Jian Huang Zu -Dong Xi Chen Jiu Random Wu officer Deng Long Zhou Yu Su Fei Random Wu officer Gan Ning OR Chen Sheng Ling Cao *Zhang Hu *Ling Tong (Note) *Cai Mao Note: Ling Tong may not appear here. Usually to get him to appear, you have to wait until Ling Cao takes enough damage. Also, if you clear Defense of Nanman before playing this stage, Ling Tong will always appear here then, and he will bring elephants. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Huang Zu. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 At the start of the battle, head north and defeat Deng Long and Chen Jiu, who are just begging to be injured to death. Now go north, and Huang Zu will withdraw, seeing the battle doesn't go well. Ling Cao will then go north and begin a solitary pursuit. If Gan Ning appears here, then here's a subtle tip: DO NOT DEFEAT SU FEI!!! Trust me. Unless you are trying to get Gan Ning's Level Ten Weapon here, you don't want to, unless you don't like Gan Ning. As Zhou Yu says, we can drive a rift between Gan Ning and Huang Zu. Defeat Gan Ning, but do not defeat Su Fei. Doing so will trigger a scene where Gan Ning is waiting to be executed, but Su Fei suddenly steps in and begs you not to kill Gan Ning. Gan Ning will then join you and Su Fei will withdraw, but now you can go defeat him. Oh yes, by now Huang Zu should have moved his flagship south to dock near Sun Jian. If Chen Sheng appears here, then I have no idea to get either him or Su Fei to surrender, despite the fact Zhou Yu says that Su Fei and Huang Zu don't get along. Oh well. Anyway, when Huang Zu's flagship docks, Zhang Hu and Cai Mao will appear. Defeat them both. Also, Zhou Yu will spot some gunpowder to the north ship that hasn't moved yet. Go back to the north ship and you'll find a gunpowder keg pot. Hit it and the ship will be on fire and move... by itself. Weird. Oh well. The burned ship will eventually crash onto Huang Zu's flagship, and create a perfect platform between the two ships (O_o how does that happen!?!). This will lower Huang Zu's forces' morale. Now go and kill Huang Zu. Defense of Nanman Region: Nan Zhong Bonus: Clearing this stage will give more Wu troops in Battle of Chi Bi. If you clear this stage before Battle of Xia Kou, then Ling Tong will appear with elephant troops in Battle of Xia Kou. --- Sun Jian's Forces VS Nanman Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Meng Huo Sun Jian's Forces Nanman Forces ----------------- ------------- Sun Jian Meng Huo -Lu Su King Mulu Zhou Yu Wu Tugu Random Wu officer Meng You Random Wu officer Dailai Dongzhi Zhuge Jin King Duosi *Zhu Rong OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Meng Huo. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 You'll most likely start to the northwest, where King Mulu is. That's your cue to defeat him. Note that elephants are a weapon in this stage. You can use them to destroy the tree trunks that are in your way. If you start somewhere to the east, defeat King Duosi. Either way, Wu Tugu will then charge out, and you'll have to defeat him. Note that when you approach Meng Huo's area, Zhu Rong will appear and will try to defeat Zhuge Jin. Also, Zhu Rong will try to send the Wu camp to flames. However, it will take a little bit long to prepare for it, so quickly defeat her to prevent the attack. I believe the fire attack will only occur if Zhuge Jin is beaten by Zhu Rong. Then go back down and defeat Meng You, Dailai Dongzhi, and finally Meng Huo himself. Battle of Chi Bi Region: Chi Bi --- Allied Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Allied Forces Cao Cao's Forces ------------- ---------------- Sun Jian Cao Cao -Lu Su -Jia Xu -Xu Sheng -Cheng Yu Cheng Pu Xu Zhu -Zhu Ran Zhen Ji -Zhuge Jin -Xun Yu Zhou Yu Cao Ren -Han Dang -Zhu Ling -Zhu Huan Cao Hong -Pan Zhang Yu Jin Gan Ning (Note) -Xun You Ling Tong Cai Mao Zhuge Liang Cao Pi -Mi Zhu -Xu Shu *-Pang Tong -Man Chong *Huang Gai -Pang Tong Yue Jin -Li Dian Note: Gan Ning will only appear here if he appears in Battle of Xia Kou and he surrenders to you there. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 The Wu version of Battle of Chi Bi is almost identical to the Shu version. There are some changes though. First, the unit info has changed. Second, unlike the Shu version, Yue Jin will NOT ambush Zhuge Liang. Instead, this time, if the enemy soldiers reach the steps of the altar, Zhuge Liang's prayer will be a failure (don't ask...). Also, Pang Tong will be an enemy officer for a while, but then he'll go back to the Shu army. But yes, getting the ships chained is like the same thing: Defeat Xu Shu (NOT Xu Zhu!), who is Cao Pi's sub-officer. This is to ensure the success of Pang Tong's chaining of the ships. Now quickly go and defeat Li Dian and Yue Jin (or just Yue Jin if you want). Note that this time around, it takes a little longer for Zhuge Liang's wind prayer to succeed. Anyway, then go and defeat Man Chong and Cao Pi. Zhu Ling will head for Sun Jian, so defeat him as well. Cao Ren is at the ship bridge area. Go say hi to his spiky helmet and defeat him, and Xu Zhu may be wandering around, so defeat him. Now, when Huang Gai's ship moves, Zhen Ji will wait for him at the east side of the ship bridge area. Take her out, but first defeat Xun Yu. While you're waiting for Huang Gai to burn the ships, take out Xun You, Yu Jin, and Cao Hong. Once the ships are burned by Huang Gai, it's just a matter of defeating the remaining enemy officers, and finally Cao Cao himself. Note that if you're playing as Huang Gai, a task leader will replace Huang Gai for the fire attack. I believe Zhen Ji will still try to foil the attack, so defeat her. Huang Gai will then automatically burn the ships like usual. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Act V: The Fall of Shu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Zhuge Liang's wind prayer succeeds, then Wu - Act V will be The Fall of Shu. Story: Although Sun Jian and Liu Bei helped each other to defeat Cao Cao, behind their relationship is a deep hatred against each other. After Liu Bei captures the Jing province, Sun Jian decides that he wants it back. Liu Bei refuses, so he must be dealt with. Zhou Yu had plans to go capture the Nan Territory, as well as Zhuge Liang. Lu Xun, Wu's second strategist, attacks the Nanman forces led by Meng Huo in Nan Zhong. The showdown between the Shu army and the Wu forces will be in Yi Ling, and Lu Xun has a fire attack waiting to incinerate Liu Bei's troops. Race for the Nan Territory Region: Nan Territory Bonus: Taking all three territories without the Shu taking one will have Guan Yu appear in Battle of Yi Ling. --- Allied Forces VS Wei Forces Zhou Yu COMMANDER Cao Ren UNIT INFO Allied Forces Wei Forces ------------- ---------- Zhou Yu Cao Ren -Cheng Pu Xiahou Dun -Lu Su Zhang Liao Random Wu officer Xu Huang -Jiang Qin Wang Lang Zhao Yun Man Chong Zhang Fei Cao Hong Guan Yu OBJECTIVES: Victory-Occupy Xiang Yang, Nan Territory, and Jing Province. Defeat-Zhou Yu is defeated, or all targets are occupied by Shu Forces. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Your objectives here are to occupy Xiang Yang, the Nan Territory, and the Jing Province. Xiahou Dun guards Xiang Yang, Cao Ren has the Nan Territory, and Zhang Liao appears defending the Jing Province. The Shu Forces are also here, and they're going to try to take all three. If all three territories are occupied by Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, or Guan Yu, you lose. But if you take at least one, you'll win, unless by any chance Zhou Yu is defeated. Did I mention Wang Lang is here? But no, Zhou Xin isn't around. Anyway, first, defeat Wang Lang (shouldn't he be guarding the Jing Province?) to open up the Nan Territory's north gate. As soon as Zhou Yu enters, he'll be hit by an arrow, and he'll have a ploy in his disposal. He'll retreat back to the north to try to lure Cao Ren. If you are Zhou Yu and you are going to do the ploy, you must go back north. Anyway, go west and defeat Xiahou Dun before any Shu forces defeat him. Once Xiang Yang is taken, go south and engage Zhang Liao in battle. Also, by now Cao Ren should have been charging north. Quickly defeat Zhang Liao and go back up there to help Zhou Yu. Defeating Cao Ren will grant you the Nan Territory. But beware, for if you do take all three territories, Guan Yu will appear in Battle of Yi Ling. But also, taking all three territories is vital to get Wu's fourth ending. The Nanman Campaign Region: Nan Zhong Bonus: If you clear this stage and then in Battle of Yi Ling you get stuck in the Stone Sentinel Maze after the fire attack succeeds, Meng Huo will appear to assist you. --- Wu Forces VS Nanman Forces Lu Xun COMMANDER Meng Huo UNIT INFO Wu Forces Nanman Forces --------- ------------- Lu Xun Meng Huo (Note) -Random Wu officer -Meng You (Note) -Zhu Huan -Mang Yachang Random Wu officer -Dailai Dongzhu -Ling Tong Zhu Rong -Quan Zong Wu Tugu *Ahui Nan (Note) King Mulu *Dong Tu Ne King Duosi *Xu Sheng (Note) Jinhuan Sanjie *-Zhuge Jin (Note) Dong Tu Ne *-Sun Shao (Note) Ahui Nan *Yang Feng (Note) Yong Kai -Gao Ding -Zhu Bao *Yang Feng Note: Meng Huo will make 7 appearances, but once you enter the Nanman base, Meng Huo will skip his first 6 appearances and just teleport to the base. Meng You will appear 2 times. Defeat Meng You once and when Meng Huo appears for the fourth time, Meng You will also make his second appearance. To get Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne to defect to Wu, defeat three enemy officers without defeating Meng Huo for the first time. Xu Sheng will only appear if Lu Xun is attacked by the Nanman Troops. Yang Feng will defect to Wu when you defeat Meng Huo when he appears for the fourth time. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Meng Huo. Defeat-Lu Xun is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Sun Jian, Sun Jian will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Jian is defeated. If you use Sun Ce, Sun Ce will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Ce is defeated. If you use Sun Quan, Sun Quan will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Quan is defeated. If you use Sun Shang Xiang, Sun Shang Xiang will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Shang Xiang is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 Yes, this is the same version as Shu, so yes, IT'S A DEVIL!!! Yes, you'll have to deal with never-ending enemy troops, enemy reinforcements that appear every seven minutes, climate that lowers the Wu morale, poisonous swamps, elephants, and last but not beast fighting Meng Huo seven times. But you can use the same strategy as in the Shu version, which is Clement Chong. I bow to your skills, Clement Chong. To start off, Yong Kai and his two sub-officers Gao Ding and Zhu Bao will attack Lu Xun's main camp. Defeat Gao Ding and Zhu Bao to lower Yong Kai's morale, BUT DO NOT DEFEAT YONG KAI! There are two reasons why: 1. If you defeat Yong Kai, Meng Huo nearby will raid Shu's main camp and 2. If Lu Xun forces defeat Yong Kai, Lu Xun will get a morale boost. That being said, leave Yong Kai and head for Jinhuan Sanjie's position. Defeat Jinhuan Sanjie to have Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne defect. Next, you will have to lower Meng Huo's morale down 2 stars. Back track to the east route and continue downwards and follow the trail. You'll find Meng You, who is one of Meng Huo's sub-officers. Defeat Meng You to lower Meng Huo's morale. Then continue going through the path and you'll find Mang Yachang, another one of Meng Huo's sub-officers. Note that you'll also trigger a scene with elephants attacking when going near Mang Yachang. This scene will lower Shu's morale. After defeating Mang Yachang, go to Zhu Rong's position. Zhu Rong will immediately challenge you to a duel. Defeat her in a duel. That will help Wu morale increase. Then go and defeat King Mulu. After that, circle to King Duosi's area. Note that when you approach King Duosi, Yang Feng will appear. Ignore him and defeat King Duosi. Then approach Wu Tugu. When you see the Nanman armor troops, a soldier will say "That armor can't be pierced by arrows?" and Lu Xun will say "Nanman armor is quite resistant to blades and arrows. I have an idea. Please stall their advance, for just a short while." Do not defeat Wu Tugu, instead retreat back to the main camp. Use this time to do the following: If Yong Kai is still alive, whittle his HP to almost zero but let a soldier from Lu Xun take the final kill. After that, defeat lots of Meng Huo's soldiers until Meng Huo's morale is at zero. When Wu Tugu gets to somewhere near where King Duosi's position was originally before you defeated him, you'll see a scene where Lu Xun uses a fire arrow attack to wipe out Wu Tugu and his armor troops (he must really like fire...). When Meng Huo's morale is at zero, defeat him each time he appears. Yang Feng will defect when Meng Huo appears for the fourth time and you defeat Meng Huo for the fourth time. Also, when Meng Huo makes his fourth appearance, Meng You will make a second appearance. Battle of Yi Ling Region: Yi Ling --- Wu Forces VS Shu Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Liu Bei Wu Forces Shu Forces --------- ---------- Sun Jian Liu Bei -Cheng Pu -Wu Lan -Ding Feng -Lei Tong Lu Xun Wei Yan *-Zhu Ran -Zhang Bao Random Wu officer Yan Yan -Zhu Huan Yue Ying -Jiang Qin -Guan Xing Random Wu officer Ma Liang -Pan Zhang Ma Dai Ling Tong Huang Zhong -Han Dang -Guan Suo *Meng Huo (Note) Wang Ping *Zhuge Liang *Guan Yu (Note) Note: Meng Huo will only appear if you cleared The Nanman Campaign first and then wait in the Stone Sentinel Maze when the fire attack succeeds. Guan Yu will only appear if you take all three territories in Race for the Nan Territory. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. The biggest factor to winning here is to make Lu Xun's fire attack plan succeed. First, Zhang Bao will be charging. Defeat him. Then Wei Yan, Guan Xing, and Yue Ying will move in to attack. Defeat them all. Next, Huang Zhong will charge out from the Shu camp, along with Guan Suo. By now Zhu Ran should have begun the infiltration. Despite the message he gives to take out the watchtowers, defeat Huang Zhong and Guan Suo. Now, you don't have to take out the watchtowers. Instead, defeat Ma Liang, Wang Ping, and Ma Dai in the main camp of the Shu army. That will ensure Zhu Ran's survival when the watchtowers detect him. Then ignore Liu Bei and head inside Bai Di Castle. Now defeat Yan Yan. Wu Lan will be in the northwest corner of the castle, so attack him and defeat him as well. When the fire attack begins, Liu Bei will retreat inside the castle, and the gates will close. Yes, you WILL be isolated, but you want this to happen. Just wait at the northeast corner of the castle, where you see an open gate leading to the water. Zhuge Liang will eventually appear as enemy reinforcements and will make a waterway through that open gate and to Sun Jian's camp. Now all enemy forces, including Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, will charge straight to Sun Jian. Note that if you did not isolate yourself inside Bai Di Castle and you have to take the Stone Sentinel Maze, here's a trick which requires you to be on a horse. From the start, make a right (left according to the map and keep on going, and turn left (going down on the map) when it curves to the left. Right when you see an exit, a stone rises up, preventing you from reaching the exit. What you do is hold onto L1 and then hold onto down to go backwards. Eventually, you'll hear the stone descending, and that's when you quickly dash and try going past the stone. It may rise when you're at it, but just drop onto the exit. But once you pass the maze, Zhuge Liang will create the waterway. So quickly defeat him, Yan Yan, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, and finally Liu Bei himself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Act V: The Fall of Wei ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Zhuge Liang's wind summon at Battle of Chi Bi fails, then Wu - Act V will be The Fall of Wei. Story: Wu gains a victory over Wei at Chi Bi. The Wu forces then march to strike the Wei forces and defeat Cao Cao. Sun Jian has sent Lu Meng to raid Fan Castle with siege weapons. The Wu forces also send Zhou Fang, a fake defector, to ambush Cao Xiu in Shi Ting. A decisive battle between the Wu forces and the Wei army is to be held in He Fei. The Siege of Fan Castle Region: Xiang Yang Bonus: Defeating Zhen Ji will cause her to appear in Battle of Shi Ting. Also, clearing this stage will cause a soldier to give a message from a Wei prisoner about a trap in the Xiao Shi Bridge in Battle of He Fei, and also, clearing this stage will cause Sun Shang Xiang to appear with a catapult in Battle of He Fei. Clearing this stage will prevent Xu Huang from appearing in Battle of He Fei. --- Wu Forces VS Wei Forces Lu Meng COMMANDER Cao Ren UNIT INFO Wu Forces Wei Forces --------- ---------- Lu Meng Cao Ren -Cheng Pu -Man Chong Lu Xun Sima Yi Random Wu officer Xu Zhu Random Wu officer Xu Huang Pan Zhang Zhen Ji *Zhou Fang (Note) *Cao Xiu (Note) Note: To get Zhou Fang to appear here, you must play Battle of Shi Ting, and then make sure the ambush on Cao Xiu succeeds. To get Cao Xiu to appear here, you must play Battle of Shi Ting, and then make sure you foil the ambush that Lu Xun and Zhou Fang plots. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Ren. Defeat-Lu Meng is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Sun Jian, Sun Jian will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Jian is defeated. If you use Sun Ce, Sun Ce will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Ce is defeated. If you use Sun Quan, Sun Quan will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Quan is defeated. If you use Sun Shang Xiang, Sun Shang Xiang will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Shang Xiang is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Unlike the Wei version of The Siege of Fan Castle where the siege ramps get set up almost instantly when they reach their destination, the Wu version has the siege ramps to be prepared for a long time before it is ready. Tch. Oh well. First, Xu Huang and Zhen Ji will be outside Fan Castle, so defeat the officer closest to you. Note that when the siege ramps are being set up, enemy ambush parties appear endlessly to try to destroy the ramps. All I can say is just guard one set of siege ramps, because unless you're playing this on two player mode it's almost impossible to save all of the siege weapons. The catapults are a bit useless. But you can save them if you want to. Either way when accessibility to Fan Castle is not denied, take out all enemy officers inside the castle. Sima Yi, Xu Zhu, and Man Chong to be namely. And Cao Ren. Also, at about 10 minutes, a Wei supply unit will appear and make its way to the east gate of Fan Castle. If you can destroy it before it makes it to the gate, it will help to lower Wei's overall morale. Once Cao Ren is down, you're done. Battle of Shi Ting Region: Xiang Yang Bonus: If the ambush on Cao Xiu succeeds, Cao Xiu will appear in Battle on He Fei as enemy reinforcements. If you play this stage before The Siege of Fan Castle and Zhou Fang's ambush succeeds against Cao Xiu, Zhou Fang will appear as reinforcements in The Siege of Fan Castle. If you play this stage before The Siege of Fan Castle and Zhou Fang's ambush is foiled, Cao Xiu will appear as enemy reinforcements in The Siege of Fan Castle. Clearing this stage will prevent Zhang He from appearing in Battle of He Fei. --- Wu Forces VS Wei Forces Lu Xun COMMANDER Sima Yi UNIT INFO Wu Forces Wei Forces --------- ---------- Lu Xun Sima Yi -Zhuge Jin -Xin Pi Huang Gai Zhang He Zhu Huan Cao Xiu Quan Zong -Zhang Pu -Ding Feng Jia Kui *Zhou Fang -Hu Zhi *Zhu Zhi Zhou Fang *-Xu Zheng *Cao Zhang *Man Chong *Han Hao *Zhen Ji (Note) Note: Zhen Ji will only appear here if you defeated her in The Siege of Fan Castle. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sima Yi. Defeat-Lu Xun is defeated. Note: If you use Sun Jian, Sun Jian will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Jian is defeated. If you use Sun Ce, Sun Ce will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Ce is defeated. If you use Sun Quan, Sun Quan will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Quan is defeated. If you use Sun Shang Xiang, Sun Shang Xiang will become commander and Defeat will change to Sun Shang Xiang is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 At the start of the battle, Lu Xun will order to wait for Zhou Fang to lure Cao Xiu into Zhu Zhi's ambush. You CAN defeat Cao Xiu if you want to, as that will also make the ambush a success (but I'm not sure if the bonus will be given to you in both The Siege of Fan Castle and Battle of He Fei). If you want to do the ambush properly, then fine. I can't stop ya. First, Jia Kui will think Zhou Fang's defection is a ploy, and will try to inform Cao Xiu. Quickly defeat Jia Kui to avoid failure of the ambush plan. Strangely enough, Zhu Huan will not know of the plan and will attack Cao Xiu. Also, DO NOT go across the bridge into Sima Yi's area or defeat Zhou Fang, as that will make the ambush fail, and Lu Xun will keep the gates of Wan Castle (eh? Isn't it He Fei?) closed, and when Cao Zhang, Man Chong, and Han Hao appear, he's going to be defeated. However, you CAN defeat Zhang Pu to lower Cao Xiu's morale. Once Zhu Huan is defeated, Cao Xiu will march north near Zhou Fang, in which he'll be ambushed. If it's successful, Lu Xun will open up Wan Castle's gates. Soon Cao Zhang, Man Chong, and Han Hao will appear to defeat Lu Xun. Defeat them to save Lu Xun from an early defeat. Once they are defeated, now you can go to Sima Yi's area. Zhang He should be attacking near by, so show him YOUR beauty and defeat him. From there, it's just a short jaunt to Sima Yi. Xin Pi will be nearby, so you may want to defeat him first. Once you defeat Sima Yi, Wu will be victorius.

If you did not clear The Siege of Fan Castle, then Xu Huang and Man Chong will appear as enemy reinforcements from Fan Castle. If you did not clear Battle of Shi Ting, then Zhang He will appear as enemy reinforcements from Shi Ting. Cao Xiu will only appear if you lured him into the ambush in Battle of Shi Ting. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 At the start of the baatle, Zhang Liao will lure Sun Jian across Xiao Shi Bridge, where Li Dian has plans to ambush him. When Sun Jian is ambushed, quickly help him and defeat Li Dian. Also, clearing The Siege of Fan Castle will cause Ling Tong and Jiang Qin to show up immediately when Li Dian ambushes Sun Jian. If you didn't clear it, then Ling Tong and Jiang Qin will show up a bit later. Once you defeat Li Dian, Sun Jian will jump across the Xiao Shi Bridge. Now you have the options of choosing a path. LEFT PATH Here you'll be dealing with Xiahou Yuan, Cao Pi, and his sub-officer Yu Jin. First, take out Xiahou Yuan. After that, the west outpost gate shouldn't be too far from Xiahou Yuan's initial position. A Guard Captain guards it, and defeating him opens it up. Then go north and defeat Yu Jin and Cao Pi. Then head to He Fei's west gate, where another guard captain secures the gate. Defeat the guard captain to open up He Fei Castle's west gate, but don't enter yet. Lu Xun will later arrive at the left path to help, but Zhang Liao will also appear (gotta love his slow motion attack), and his presence of an eight star morale will be trouble for Wu. Also, if you haven't cleared Battle of Shi Ting, Zhang He will appear as enemy reinforcements from Shi Ting in the left path. MIDDLE PATH Here is where Yue Jin, Cheng Yu, and Cao Zhang show their authority (tune to Yuan Shao in Battle of Hu Lao Gate). Defeat Yue Jin and Cheng Yu first. Then eliminate Cao Zhang. Also, Pang De will be somewhere near the south gate of He Fei Castle. If you have previously cleared The Siege of Fan Castle, then Sun Shang Xiang will appear with a catapult to attack the south gate of He Fei Castle. RIGHT PATH In the right path, Xiahou Dun, Jia Xu, and Cao Cao's brother Cao Hong will say their hellos to you. Defeat Jia Xu first. Xiahou Dun will then be next to defeat. Also note that the east outpost gate is somewhere nearby his position and defeating the guard captain that secures it opens up the gate. Finally, Cao Hong is yours for the defeat. Then proceed to the east gate, where, yes, a guard captain guards the gate. Now Gan Ning will eventually arrive near the right path. Also, note than if you haven't cleared The Siege of Fan Castle, Xu Huang and Man Chong will appear in the right path as well, so go take them out. Zhang Liao will eventually reappear near the left path to attack Sun Jian. Quickly defeat him, because with his 8 star morale, he poses a threat. Also, if you have cleared Battle of Shi Ting with the ambush successfully executed on Cao Xiu, then he will seek his revenge. He also has an 8 star morale, so defeat him. Once Gan Ning and Lu Xun appear, Sun Jian will then order to charge straight to He Fei. Infiltrate inside and defeat Xun You and Sima Zhao first. Then defeat all other enemy officers you haven't defeated yet. Once Cao Cao is left, he will be yours to attack and defeat, and victory will be yours when he is defeated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Tales: Guan Yu, God of War ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wu - Act IV: Showdown at Chi Bi, skip Battle of Xia Kou and Defense of Nanman.

Then, in Battle of Yi Ling, ensure that Lu Xun's fire attack succeeds. This tale stage will appear after Wu - Act V: The Fall of Shu. Story: Sun Jian defeats the Shu army in Yi Ling. However, Liu Bei's oath brother, Guan Yu, has managed to survive the battle. He then regroups the remainder of the Shu army in Luo Castle, and goes to Mai Castle to use it as a base. Sun Jian, knowing that a dangerous man like Guan Yu must be dealt with sooner rather than later, marches to Guan Yu's position and attacks him.

If Liao Hua manages to escape to the north, he will return shortly after with Liu Feng and Meng Da. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Guan Yu. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 At the start of the battle, Guan Yu will send Liao Hua to bring in reinforcements. Liao Hua will head north. Defeat Liao Hua quickly so that the enemy reinforcements will not appear. If he does escape north, then Liu Feng and Meng Da will come in later. Now open up Mai Castle's north gate by defeating the gate captain that patrols it. Or you can open up the south gate by defeating the cross Yellow Turban Shu officer, Zhou Cang (what? He was a Yellow Turban officer). By now, if Liao Hua escaped north, then he should reappear, along with Liu Feng and Meng Da (weird... it was said in the novel that Liu Feng refused to assist Guan Yu). Now, DO NOT defeat any enemy officers in the castle yet. Instead, see those enemy gate captains to the north and south of the castle? Defeat those two gate captains. Forget about the one in the center or the east one. Reason? Although it is not stated in the objective, if Guan Yu escapes, you lose. He'll start to escape after beating two of the enemy officers in the castle (Jiang Wei, Wang Fu, or Guan Ping). The first place he'll escape to will be the gates north and south of Mai Castle. Once you seal those, another enemy gate captain appears to the north, and Guan Yu will escape there. Once you seal that gate, another gate will appear, this time to the south. Quickly seal it. Also, when Guan Yu gets near it, Pan Zhang will appear and try to stall him. After Guan Yu plots his escape, the castle should be almost empty, with the exception of some enemy gates. If you enter it while it's almost empty, the gates will close, and Guan Suo and Jian Yong will ambush you (the noteworthy thing here is that this is the only time that Guan Suo appears as an enemy but is not a sub-officer). Once you cut off all four of Guan Yu's escape routes, Guan Yu will decide to turn the tides of this battle by... CHARGING LIKE A MADMAN STRAIGHT TO SUN JIAN!!! It'll take him a long time to, because Wu forces will stall him. But also, Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao will appear to assist the God of War. First defeat them both. Now defeat all remaining enemy officers besides Guan Yu. Once you do that, it's time to finish off the God of War once and for all. Once you beat him, not only do you finish the stage, but you also get a scene where Guan Yu bids his farewell to his oath brothers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Tales: Dong Zhuo Lives! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: In Wu - Act II: The Alliacne Against Dong Zhuo, when playing Battle of Hu Lao Gate, allow Dong Zhuo to retreat and escape. In Wu - Act III: The Little Conqueror, skip both Assault on Liu Biao and Campaign for the Wu Territory. You will also get Wu - Tales: The Tiger's Adversary, and the tale stage, Unification of Jing. Then, in Wu - Act IV: Showdown on Chi Bi, skip Defense of Nanman. Then, in Battle of Chi Bi, ensure that Zhuge Liang's wind prayer fails. This will make Wu - Act V: The Fall of Wei. In Wu - Act V: The Fall of Wei, skip both The Siege of Fan Castle and Battle of Shi Ting. This tale stage will appear after Wu - Act V: The Fall of Wei. Story: A major supply depot nearby a harbor at the Chang Jiang River has been raided by an unknown force all of a sudden. Reports have said that Dong Zhuo's forces have resurfaced as a band of rogues and have attacked the supply depot. Sun Jian hears of this report, and goes to the Chang Jiang River. The supply units must deliver the supplies at all costs! Battle of Chang Jiang Region: Chi Bi --- Wu Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Wu Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces --------- ------------------ Sun Jian Dong Zhuo Xu Sheng Li Jue Ling Tong Guo Si *Sun Ce Li Ru *Sun Quan Dong Min Li Su *Meng Huo *Zhu Rong OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat all enemy officers. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated, or more than 11 supply units are destroyed. A harness is your best friend here, _especially_ the Red Hare or Shadow Harnesses. To start off, you should be in between the supply ship and the supply depot, and you should find some enemy soldiers on... elephants? Oh yeah, now I remember, Dong Zhuo and Meng Huo have made an alliance, so Meng Huo, Zhu Rong, and Nanman troops will appear to attack you. I found an easy way to beat this stage. First, defeat the enemy troops in the middle. After clearing the middle portion of enemies, go south. Ignore Li Jue and Guo Si. Head to where Dong Zhuo is. Now quickly defeat Dong Zhuo. This will nullify the massive enemy Nanman reinforcements from appearing to attack the supply units. Now quickly defeat all enemy officers. You should first defeat Li Jue and Guo Si, as they are closest to you. Then help Xu Sheng and defeat Li Ru, Dong Min, and Li Su. Once all enemy officers on the map are defeated, Meng Huo and Zhu Rong will appear as enemy reinforcements. Quickly defeat them. With this strategy, Zhou Tai, and a Shadow Harness, I just only lost like 2 or 3 supply captains. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wu - Final Act: The End Of The Three Kingdoms ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Act V was the Fall of Shu, then the stages from The Fall of Wei will appear here, and if Act V was the Fall of Wei, then the stages from The Fall of Shu will appear here. After that, a final battle between one of the kingdoms will begin. Battle of Cheng Du Region: Cheng Du --- Wu Forces VS Shu Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Liu Bei UNIT INFO Wu Forces Shu Forces --------- ---------- Sun Jian Zhuge Liang -Lu Su -Jiang Wei -Zhang Cheng Ma Su -Sun Shao -Guan Xing Lu Xun -Guan Suo -Zhuge Jin Ma Dai *-Zhu Ran -Mi Zhu *-Cheng Pu Zhang Fei Xu Sheng -Zhang Bao Random Wu officer Yue Ying Ling Tong -Li Yan Pan Zhang Wang Ping -Han Dang -Liao Hua Zhu Zhi -Gao Xiang -Zhu Huan *Ma Chao *Liu Bei *-Ma Liang *-Guan Yu *-Guan Ping *-Zhang Yi OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This is similar to Wei's version of the stage. However, there are a few differences. First off, instead of Zhang Bao's taunt at Jian Yan Bridge, Zhang Bao will destroy Jian Yan Bridge, and this time, he will be a sub- officer of Zhang Fei. Lu Xun will then later use a bridge layer to replace the broken down bridge. Next difference is that Wei Yan does not appear here, so you can't get any defection from him. Then the unit info has slightly changed for the Shu forces. Fourth, instead of using battering rams like the Wei forces do, the Wu forces will use catapults to attack Luo Castle's gates. Getting on with the show now. At the start, defeat Wang Ping if you start at the north, or Ma Dai and Zhang Fei if you start at the south. Note that Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao will immediately destroy Jian Yan Bridge. Then go to Luo Castle, and defeat either Guan Xing or Guan Suo. Lu Xun's catapult units should appear after Zhuge Liang's arbalests attack your troops. Anyway, once the gates open, defeat Ma Su to take Luo Castle. Then, you have a choice of either going down to the south path, or into Mian Zhu Forest. NORTH PATH TO MIAN ZHU FOREST After taking Luo Castle, Zhuge Liang will order his ambush parties ready to ambush in the foggy Bamboo Forest. Here's the list. From Luo Castle's west entrance to Mian Shu, if you make a slight right turn at the first T fork (up according to the map) and then make a left turn, you should find Zhang Yi's ambush. If you go to Mian Zhu's north path and continue going, you should find Guan Ping's ambush near the north enemy gate captain. If you go the Mian Zhu's south path and continue going, Guan Yu will eventually ambush you. Also, when you trigger one of the enemy officer ambushes, Liu Bei and Ma Liang will appear. SOUTH PATH A little further up ahead in the south path, Li Yan will attack. Defeat him to clear the threat, and to lower Yue Ying's morale. When you approach Yue Ying, she will use Juggernauts at you. The Juggernauts, in case you do not know what they are, are tiger-headed fire blowing tank machines. They will hurt. Defeat Yue Ying to stop the Juggernauts. About now, or soon, you'll see a rather funny scene where your soldiers are charging and then suddenly, BOOM! The grounds have been spread with mines. Good thinking, Zhuge Liang. You can use a Shadow Harness and get past the mined path, while being bombarded with mines. While you're fighting, Ma Chao will eventually appear in Luo Castle and will fight his way to Sun Jian. Defeat Ma Chao, and then return to your scheduled programming of approaching the gates of Cheng Du. Once you approach Liu Bei, the fun begins. You'll see a scene where Liu Bei's people dress up as warriors and a peasant militia will attack. These peasants will have very low HP, so it's gonna be fun to kill them all. Take out Ma Liang, Jiang Wei, and Zhuge Liang while you're at it. And also, defeat all other enemy officers that you haven't killed yet. Once you defeat Liu Bei, Sun Jian will win, and he gets the reputation of the Tiger of Jiang Dong over China! Battle of Xu Chang Region: Xu Chang --- Wu Forces VS Wei Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Wu Forces Wei Forces --------- ---------- Sun Jian Cao Cao -Xu Sheng -Jia Xu Zhou Yu *-Jia Kui Sun Ce Sima Yi -Zhang Cheng -Sima Zhao Zhuge Jin Xiahou Dun Han Dang -Cao Hong -Zhu Zhi Dian Wei -Sun Shao -Deng Ai Cheng Pu -Hu Zhi -Zhu Huan Zhen Ji Cao Xiu Man Chong *Xu Zhu *-Cao Zhang *Pang De *-Xin Pi OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 In case you haven't figured it out, this is the same version as the Shu version of it. But I'll still make a walkthrough. Just cause I want to. Anyway, at the start, quickly defeat Zhen Ji and Cao Xiu. Then defeat Cao Hong to ensure the safety of the siege ramp. If Xiahou Dun challenges you to a duel, then defeat him in a duel. When the siege ramp is set up, Xu Zhu will launch his ambush attack at the supply depot. QUICKLY SAVE IT!!! Don't worry, Zhuge Jin can survive for a good amount of time. Use this time to quickly defeat Man Chong, then go back to the supply depot and defeat Xu Zhu to save the depot. Now go back and defeat Hu Zhi and Deng Ai. If Sima Zhao is outside Xu Chang Castle, go ahead and take him out as well. Also, if you haven't beaten Xiahou Dun yet, now is the time to do so. By the time you defeated all enemy officers outside the castle, Jia Kui and his reinforcements may have arrived. They will assault the supply depot. Go back and defeat Jia Kui and destroy each and every Wei soldiers that assault it. It should help to lower Cao Cao's morale. When gunpowder is found in the castle, one word: RUN!!! If the gates close, go up the stairs to get on top of the castle walls. Once they all explode, the gates leading to Cao Cao will open. Now go and defeat Sima Yi. Jia Xu will then be hanging around on top of the castle walls. After you defeat him, go to where Dian Wei is, and smack him dead. If you approach Dian Wei from the south, Pang De and Xin Pi will appear to ambush you. I believe it's much easier to attack from the west. Then you can trigger Pang De's ambush from the north after defeating Dian Wei. Once you defeat Pang De, Cao Cao should be the only one left. Once you defeat Cao Cao, victory is Wu's! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ | | | |__\ | | |__ |__| |__/ |__| Lu Bu Musou Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lu Bu - Act I: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo has been appointed to defend the young emperor of the Han Forces. However, many generals have disapproval of Dong Zhuo. They ally under Yuan Shao's forces to attack Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo has the mighty Lu Bu by his side. Dong Zhuo then has no choice but to attack the allied forces. Battle of Si Shui Gate Region: Xu Chang Bonus: Clearing this stage will cause Yuan Shao's forces to burn Luo Yang in Battle of Hu Lao Gate and will cause Cao Ang, Zhu Zhi, and Jian Yong to appear at Battle of Hu Lao Gate when the fire attack occurs. --- Dong Zhuo's Forces VS.

Defeat-Li Jue is defeated. (Note) Note: If you use Lu Bu, Lu Bu will become commander and Defeat will change to Lu Bu is defeated. If you use Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will become commander and Defeat will change to Dong Zhuo is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 You should start near Si Shui Gate. Defeat Huang Gai first. Sun Jian will then send a messenger to Yuan Shu. If the messenger safely makes it to the gate near Yuan Shu, Sun Jian will then receive supplies to boost his morale, and Li Jue will get a bit mad at the fact that his troops can't slay a simple messenger. :) Anyway, defeat Sun Jian now. Then go south and defeat Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Gongsun Zan should have mobilized to the west. First, though, take out Zhang He, who should be charging. Then defeat Yuan Shu. Then go west and defeat Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan. Finally, defeat Yuan Shao. Battle of Hu Lao Gate Region: Luo Yang --- Dong Zhuo's Forces VS Allied Forces Dong Zhuo COMMANDER Yuan Shao UNIT INFO Dong Zhuo's Forces Allied Forces ------------------ ------------- Dong Zhuo Yuan Shu -Niou Fu Gongsun Zan -Fan Chou Cao Cao Li Ru -Xiahou Dun Li Jue *-Cao Ang (Note) Guo Si Sun Jian Lu Bu -Huang Gai -Zhang Liao *-Zhu Zhi (Note) -Gao Shun Liu Bei *Diao Chan -Guan Yu *Jian Yong (Note) *Yuan Shao *-Guo Tu *-Tian Feng *Yan Liang *Wen Chou Note: Cao Ang, Zhu Zhi, and Jian Yong will only appear if you cleared Battle of Si Shui Gate. They will appear after the fire attack on Luo Yang. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Yuan Shao. Defeat-Dong Zhuo is defeated. At the start, Xiahou Dun, Huang Gai, and Guan Yu will appear near Hu Lao Gate to triple team you. Then Diao Chan will appear to reinforce you. Go take all of them out. Watch out, though, because Guan Yu can be dangerous. After you take them out, approach Cao Cao, Sun Jian, or Liu Bei. If you previously cleared Battle of Si Shui Gate, then Yuan Shao's forces will burn Luo Yang, and Cao Ang, Zhu Zhi, and Jian Yong will appear in the blazing Luo Yang. Go back to Luo Yang and defeat them. If you did not clear Battle of Si Shui Gate, the fire attack will not occur, and Cao Ang, Zhu Zhi, and Jian Yong will not appear. Either way, Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou will appear after defeating two out of the following three: Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. First off, defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Then Guo Tu and Tian Feng will charge out of the gates. Defeat them as well. Now, go east and take out Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. Finally, go through the barricade of Yuan Shao's main camp. When you find Yuan Shao, go and take out the indecisive noble idiot who has strategists for nothing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lu Bu - Act II: The Assassination of Dong Zhuo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The winning of the battle at Hu Lao Gate gave triumph to Dong Zhuo. His tyranny grows even further. This, however, also starts to give a little disrespect to Lu Bu. Then one day, Lu Bu is tempted by Diao Chan to fight just for himself, and not fight for Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu then revolts. From now on, he fights for himself, and only for himself. He plans to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu's Revolt Region: Nan Yang --- Lu Bu's Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Lu Bu COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Lu Bu's Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces -------------- ------------------ Lu Bu Dong Zhuo -Diao Chan -Fan Chou -Hua Xiong Li Jue Xu Rong Hu Zhen Niou Fu Guo Si Wang Fang Li Ru -Li Meng Dong Min *Zhao Cen OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Dong Zhuo. Defeat-Lu Bu is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 At the start of the battle, defeat Fan Chou and clear the room of enemies. Then, when the entrance opens, go right (left according to the map) and defeat Li Jue. Then go a bit downward and defeat Xu Rong. Hu Zhen should be nearby. Defeat him as well. (BTW, this is the only battle where Hu Zhen appears as an enemy officer but isn't a sub-officer). Now go back and go right and defeat Guo Si. Then go to Wang Fang and defeat him. Also, defeating Wang Fang will trigger the arrival of Zhao Cen back at the starting point. Go back and defeat Zhao Cen. Defeating him will open up a door that was near Wang Fang before. Now proceed and you should find Li Meng. Defeat him like the usual. Li Ru should then be nearby, as well as Dong Min. Defeat them both. Now you have to backtrack to the left path to go to Dong Zhuo's room. Along the way, you will trigger some ambushes, and the gates will close. To reopen the gates, defeat all enemy soldiers that ambush you. Niou Fu will be hanging out near Dong Zhuo's room, so defeat him. Hua Xiong will be around as well, and he's a bragger, I just found out. Go and defeat the cocky warrior who thinks his weapon is so much better than Lu Bu's. Defeat him as well. Once Dong Zhuo's the only one left, defeat him, and you win. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lu Bu - Act III: The Villain's Demise ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: After assassinating Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu had finally gained what he wanted. He had gotten freedom, and he had acquired power. However, there are also threats that may harm him. Cao Cao had marched to Xia Pi Castle to attack Lu Bu there, and Liu Bei had allied with Cao Cao. It seems that Lu Bu must first defeat Cao Cao. Battle of Xia Pi Region: Xu Province Bonus: If the carriage successfully escapes to Yuan Shu's territory, and Yuan Shu appears here, he will appear as a sub-officer under Lu Bu in Campaign against Cao Cao. --- Lu Bu's Forces VS Allied Forces Lu Bu COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Lu Bu's Forces Allied Forces -------------- ------------- Lu Bu Cao Cao -Chen Gong -Guo Jia Diao Chan -Dian Wei Gao Shun Xu Zhu Hou Cheng Xiahou Dun Song Xian Liu Bei Wei Xu -Guan Yu *Carriage -Zhang Fei *Yuan Shu (Note) *Xu Huang *-Chen Lan (Note) *Cao Zhang *Ji Ling (Note) *-Lei Bo (Note) Note: Yuan Shu, Chen Lan, Ji Ling, and Lei Bo will only appear if the carriage successfully makes it to Yuan Shu's territory. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Lu Bu is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 At the start of the battle, quickly deal with Xu Zhu and Xiahou Dun. Then defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Watch out. They are tough. Note that unlike Cao Cao's scenario of this stage, Red Hare is immediately available. This time, Guan Yu will pursue it, but only if no enemy officers are defeated. If any are defeated, he won't come after it. You can take Red Hare to get a morale boost. Once both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are gone, defeat Liu Bei. By now, chances are some of your officers are dead. Then go to the northeast where Cao Cao, Dian Wei, and Guo Jia are. Don't defeat Cao Cao just yet, but defeat Dian Wei and Guo Jia. Eventually, Lu Bu will send out a carriage. If the carriage successfully escapes to Yuan Shu, later Yuan Shu, Chen Lan, Lei Bo, and Ji Ling will arrive as reinforcements for Lu Bu's forces. But also, Xu Huang and Cao Zhang will eventually arrive as enemy reinforcements, and when they arrive, Cao Cao's army, or to be exact, the allied army, will charge straight at Xia Pi Castle. And by now, if Yuan Shu hasn't arrived yet, you may only have a few officers left. Deal with Xu Huang and Cao Zhang first. Campaign against Cao Cao Region: Guan Du --- Lu Bu's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Lu Bu COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Lu Bu's Forces Cao Cao's Forces -------------- ---------------- Lu Bu Cao Cao -Chen Gong -Xun Yu -Yuan Shu (Note) Xiahou Yuan Zhang Liao -Yu Jin Diao Chan -Cheng Yu Zang Ba Dian Wei Yin Li -Li Dian Yang Feng Cao Pi -Gao Shun -Guo Jia -Cao Zhang Cao Ren -Cao Hong -Cao Xiu -Xun You *Yue Jin *Xu Huang *Xiahou Dun Note: Yuan Shu will only appear if he appeared as reinforcements in Battle of Xia Pi. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Lu Bu is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 At the start of the battle, you have to take the battlement that Cao Ren guards. But first off, Cheng Yu will be wandering to the left path. Go take him out. The west gate is guarded by Cao Xiu, the north gate is guarded by Cao Hong, and Xun You guards the east gate. Note that if you approach the west gate, Cao Ren will destroy the bridge that leads to it and will ambush you. To solve that problem, if you attack the west gate, lure Cao Xiu to the bridge. Anyway, defeat Cao Ren to gain control of the battlement. Now you have a choice to take either the left path or the right path. I'll divide it. LEFT PATH Go down the left path. Yu Jin will be guarding the entrance gate of the battlement Xiahou Yuan is in. Once you defeat him, the gate opens. Xiahou Yuan will then feign retreat. If you have thought he is trying to lure you into an ambush, you're good. Yue Jin will ambush you when you follow Xiahou Yuan. Then Chen Gong will suggest searching for another ambush party. Xu Huang is the other ambush enemy officer, but so far, I have found no way to foil his ambush, yet I can foil Yue Jin's. Oh well. RIGHT PATH When you go down the circular path, Cao Zhang will attack you. Defeating him will trigger Xu Huang's ambush. After the ambush, Chen Gong will mention to search another ambush party. You can foil Yue Jin's ambush. Just make sure that Yu Jin is not defeated yet, as that will mess things up. Just approach Xiahou Yuan's battlement from the south, and you'll discover it. Yue Jin will then attempt to retreat. Anyway, back to where I was. Defeat Guo Jia and then Cao Pi. Either way, you will end up at the southern castle. That is where Cao Cao is. Li Dian secures the entrance gate, and defeating him opens it up. Take note that once you enter deep inside the castle, Cao Cao will close the gates and ambush you, whereupon Xiahou Dun will appear to attack Lu Bu. His max morale will pose a threat. A guard captain guards the gate of the castle, so defeat him to reopen the gate. Now you can either go back and defeat Xiahou Dun quickly, or defeat Cao Cao quickly before Xiahou Dun defeats Lu Bu. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lu Bu - Final Act: The Mightiest Warrior ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Lu Bu defeats Cao Cao in his campaign. He then gains the land that Cao Cao had kept before. But a few threats still oppose him. Sun Jian is one of the remainder of the threats, and he must be eliminated. Then finally, Liu Bei will have to be defeated as well, seeing as he allied with Cao Cao to defeat Lu Bu. Campaign against Sun Jian Region: He Fei Bonus: Clearing this stage will cause Chen Gong to mention Sun Jian has tried luring Lu Bu's forces into an empty castle in Campaign against Liu Bei. --- Lu Bu's Forces VS Sun Jian's Forces Lu Bu COMMANDER Sun Jian UNIT INFO Lu Bu's Forces Sun Jian's Forces -------------- ----------------- Lu Bu Sun Jian -Chen Gong -Zhu Huan Gao Shun -Xu Sheng Zhang Liao Lu Su Diao Chan Lu Meng Zang Ba -Ling Tong Yang Feng Zhou Tai Yin Li -Jiang Qin *Gan Ning -Zhu Zhi *Sun Shang Xiang -Pan Zhang *Sun Ce OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sun Jian. Defeat-Lu Bu is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 To start off, you will have to choose either the left path, the middle path, or the right path. LEFT PATH If you continue to the castle while traveling on the left path, you'll eventually find Zhu Zhi, who is under Gan Ning. But strange, Gan Ning ain't around. Well, once you defeat Zhu Zhi, Gan Ning will ambush you. Defeat Zhu Zhi, then Gan Ning when he ambushes you. But don't continue to the castle yet. Before you enter the castle, defeat Xu Sheng first, then backtrack to the middle path, and defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. MIDDLE PATH I'd recommend the middle path. First off, Ling Tong secures the west gate, and Jiang Qin patrols the east gate. Once you approach Ling Tong or Jiang Qin, Lu Meng and Zhou Tai raise morale, respectively. Defeat Ling Tong and Jiang Qin to open up the gates, then defeat Lu Meng and Zhou Tai. RIGHT PATH Pan Zhang will appear here. Like Gan Ning, Sun Shang Xiang will appear to ambush you once Pan Zhang is defeated. Once you defeat them both, defeat Zhu Huan, BUT DON'T ENTER THE CASTLE!!! Backtrack to the middle quickly as possible and defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. Note that after three minute passes, Chen Gong will be suspicious of the enemy being up to something and will suggest to quickly advance to Sun Jian. Well, the Sun Jian in the castle is just a decoy (how does he do it? I mean, Jian Ye, for example...). The real Sun Jian will appear to ambush Lu Bu from behind once you enter the castle's deep insides. Also, if ten minutes pass and you don't enter the castle until that, then Sun Jian will burn the insides of the castle (what a friggin waste). Once you enter the deep insides of the castle (if you have entered the castle through the west or south gate, you can sneak by hugging the south walls so that you can defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su without Sun Jian's decoy activating), Gan Ning and Sun Shang Xiang will appear to support the forces of Sun Jian. Once the real Sun Jian appears, make sure to go back and back up Lu Bu, and defeat Sun Ce on the way. Just defeat Sun Jian to end the stage. Campaign against Liu Bei Region: Xu Province --- Lu Bu's Forces VS Liu Bei's Forces Lu Bu COMMANDER Liu Bei Lu Bu's Forces Liu Bei's Forces -------------- ---------------- Lu Bu Liu Bei -Gao Shun -Xu Shu Chen Gong Guan Yu Diao Chan -Guan Ping Zhang Liao Zhang Fei Hou Cheng -Fu Shi Ren Wei Xu *Huang Zhong Song Xian *Ma Chao *Mi Fang (Note) *Mi Fang (1) *Mi Fang (2) *Mi Fang (3) *Mi Zhu *Zhao Yun *Wei Yan Note: You can get Mi Fang to defect to your side. To do this, defeat Mi Fang before Liu Bei charges out of Xia Pi Castle. Liu Bei's forces will charge out when either Guan Yu or Zhang Fei both are defeated, or Zhao Yun and Wei Yan appear as enemy reinforcements. If done correctly, you'll see a scene where Mi Fang's life is spared and he'll offer to join your side. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Lu Bu is defeated. To start off, if you start anywhere to the north, defeat both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei's army will charge straight at Lu Bu. Watch out, though, because both are pretty tough. Once you defeat Guan Yu, Huang Zhong will appear, and defeating Zhang Fei results in Ma Chao appearing as enemy reinforcements. Also, note that if you plan to have Mi Fang surrender to you, then do not defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as doing so will mess things up. If you start anywhere to the south, defeat Fu Shi Ren and Guan Ping, and that will also have both Huang Zhong and Ma Chao appear. Either way, defeat Huang Zhong and Ma Chao. By this time, Chen Gong would have spotted some enemy scouts. Mi Fang commands the scouts. Chen Gong will think the scouts can be useful for a plan, so he will command to capture the scouts. Defeat Mi Fang. He is located somewhere to the north. Once you defeat Mi Fang, Chen Gong will give him false information and release Mi Fang to Liu Bei. When Mi Fang returns to the enemy camp, he will spread false information about your troops attacking the east, and Liu Bei will command to bolster his defenses in the east. Anyway, defeat all other enemy officers, other than Liu Bei and Xu Shu (yes, Xu Shu, the Wei officer). Also, note that Mi Fang has two more appearances. Mi Fang will make a second return to the northwest. Once you defeat him again, he'll tell your commander about an ambush party. Turns out Mi Zhu has planned to ambush you. Note that if you do not defeat Mi Fang for a second time quickly, Mi Zhu will ambush you. Mi Fang's third appearance will be somewhere near the southwest. If you defeat him for the third time BEFORE Liu Bei charges out (he'll charge out on two conditions: 1. Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are defeated and 2. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan arrive as enemy reinforcements), Lu Bu, for once, will spare Mi Fang, who offers to serve him for his life. Mi Fang will then eventually infiltrate Xia Pi, and will open up all of the gates. Meanwhile, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan should have arrived by now, which will trigger the charge of the enemy forces. Defeat both Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, then defeat all other enemy officers, including Xu Shu. Once Liu Bei's the only one left, defeat him, and he'll lose, and you'll win. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ __ __ __ | \ | | |\ | | _ / |__| | | | | |__/ |__| | \| |__| /_ | | |__| |__| Dong Zhuo Musou Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dong Zhuo - Act I: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo has been appointed to defend the young emperor of the Han Forces.

Watch out, though, because Guan Yu can be dangerous. After you take them out, approach Cao Cao, Sun Jian, or Liu Bei. If you previously cleared Battle of Si Shui Gate, then Yuan Shao's forces will use a fire attack to incinerate Luo Yang, and Cao Ang, Zhu Zhi, and Jian Yong will appear in the blazing Luo Yang. Go back to Luo Yang and defeat them. If you did not clear Battle of Si Shui Gate, the fire attack will not occur, and Cao Ang, Zhu Zhi, and Jian Yong will not appear. Either way, Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou will appear after defeating two out of the following three: Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. First off, defeat Yuan Shao's two champions, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Then Guo Tu and Tian Feng will charge out of the gates. Defeat them as well. Now, go east and take out Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. Finally, go through the barricade of Yuan Shao's main camp. When you find Yuan Shao, go and take out the indecisive noble idiot who has strategists for nothing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dong Zhuo - Act II: The Tiger Hunt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Dong Zhuo successfully defeats Yuan Shao's forces at Hu Lao Gate, and his tyranny begins to grow more. Reports have said that Sun Jian is searching for the legendary Imperial Seal. Dong Zhuo wants to take the Imperial Seal, so he must face Sun Jian in battle to take it. Campaign against Sun Jian Region: He Fei --- Dong Zhuo's Forces VS Sun Jian's Forces Dong Zhuo COMMANDER Sun Jian UNIT INFO UNIT INFO Dong Zhuo's Forces Sun Jian's Forces ------------------ ----------------- Dong Zhuo Sun Jian -Li Ru -Zhu Huan Lu Bu -Xu Sheng Zhang Liao Sun Quan Diao Chan Lu Meng Hua Xiong -Ling Tong Li Jue Zhou Tai Guo Si -Jiang Qin *Gan Ning -Zhu Zhi *Sun Shang Xiang -Pan Zhang *Sun Ce OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sun Jian. Defeat-Dong Zhuo is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is exactly the same thing as Lu Bu's version. The only difference is that Lu Su is replaced by Sun Quan, but defeating him also opens up the castle's south gate. To start off, you will have to choose either the left path, the middle path, or the right path. LEFT PATH If you continue to the castle while traveling on the left path, you'll eventually find Zhu Zhi, who is under Gan Ning. But strange, Gan Ning ain't around. Well, once you defeat Zhu Zhi, Gan Ning will ambush you. Defeat Zhu Zhi, then Gan Ning when he ambushes you. But don't continue to the castle yet. Before you enter the castle, defeat Xu Sheng first, then backtrack to the middle path, and defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. MIDDLE PATH I'd recommend the middle path. First off, Ling Tong secures the west gate, and Jiang Qin patrols the east gate. Once you approach Ling Tong or Jiang Qin, Lu Meng and Zhou Tai raise morale, respectively. Defeat Ling Tong and Jiang Qin to open up the gates, then defeat Lu Meng and Zhou Tai. RIGHT PATH Pan Zhang will appear here. Like Gan Ning, Sun Shang Xiang will appear to ambush you once Pan Zhang is defeated. Once you defeat them both, defeat Zhu Huan, BUT DON'T ENTER THE CASTLE!!! Backtrack to the middle quickly as possible and defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. Note that after three minute passes, Li Ru will be suspicious of the enemy being up to something and will suggest to quickly advance to Sun Jian. Well, the Sun Jian in the castle is just a decoy (how does he do it? I mean, Battle of Jian Ye, for example...). The real Sun Jian will appear to ambush Dong Zhuo's forces from behind once you enter the castle's deep insides. Also, if ten minutes pass and you don't enter the castle until that, then Sun Jian will burn the insides of the castle (what a friggin waste). Once you enter the deep insides of the castle (if you have entered the castle through the west or south gate, you can sneak by hugging the south walls so that you can defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Sun Quan without Sun Jian's decoy activating), Gan Ning and Sun Shang Xiang will reinforce the enemy. Once the real Sun Jian appears, make sure to go back and back up Dong Zhuo, and defeat Sun Ce on the way. Just defeat Sun Jian to end the stage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dong Zhuo - Act III: The Villain's Demise ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Dong Zhuo's campaign against Sun Jian was a success, as Sun Jian is no match for him. However, two more threats await him. Liu Bei is holed up inside Xia Pi Castle. Cao Cao also has a land of Guan Du that Dong Zhuo can take over. Dong Zhuo first marches to Liu Bei, and begins his campaign against him. After he defeats Liu Bei, Cao Cao will be next. Campaign against Liu Bei Region: Xu Province Bonus: If you defeat Mi Fang three times before Liu Bei charges out of the castle, and Mi Fang surrenders to you, he will appear as a sub-officer under Dong Zhuo in Campaign against Cao Cao. --- Dong Zhuo's Forces VS Liu Bei's Forces Dong Zhuo COMMANDER Liu Bei UNIT INFO Dong Zhuo's Forces Liu Bei's Forces ------------------ ---------------- Dong Zhuo Liu Bei -Niou Fu -Xu Shu Li Ru Guan Yu Lu Bu -Guan Ping Diao Chan Zhang Fei Li Jue -Fu Shi Ren Guo Si *Huang Zhong Hua Xiong *Ma Chao *Mi Fang (Note) *Mi Fang (1) *Mi Fang (2) *Mi Fang (3) *Mi Zhu *Zhao Yun *Wei Yan Note: You can get Mi Fang to defect to your side. To do this, defeat Mi Fang before Liu Bei charges out of Xia Pi Castle. Liu Bei's forces will charge out when either Guan Yu or Zhang Fei both are defeated, or Zhao Yun and Wei Yan appear as enemy reinforcements. If done correctly, you'll see a scene where Mi Fang's life is spared and he'll offer to join your side. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Dong Zhuo is defeated. This is exactly the same as Lu Bu's version. First, if you start anywhere to the north, defeat both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei's army will charge out of Xia Pi. Defeating Guan Yu triggers the timely arrival of Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao will deal with you after you defeat Zhang Fei. If you start anywhere to the south, defeat Guan Ping and Fu Shi Ren, and Huang Zhong and Ma Chao appears as well. Defeat them both either way. Note that if you want Mi Fang to surrender to your army, do not defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both, or else you'll mess things up. Li Ru will then spot Mi Fang's scout troops, and he'll try to confuse the enemy. You'll need to capture Mi Fang and his scouts. So defeat Mi Fang, who is positioned in the north. When Li Ru gives false information, releases Mi Fang, and Mi Fang returns to Liu Bei, he'll give false information about Dong Zhuo's forces attacking the east. Liu Bei, in response, puts defense to the eastern area. Now you can try to defeat Mi Fang for the second and third times before Liu Bei's army charges out of the castle gates. If you defeat him the second time, he will reveal Mi Zhu's ambush party, and the ambush will be foiled. Once you defeat Mi Fang for the third time _before_ Liu Bei charges out of the gates (this will happen if both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are defeated, or when Zhao Yun and Wei Yan arrive as enemy reinforcements), he will surrender to you. This also adds the bonus that he will help you when attacking Cao Cao in Campaign against Cao Cao. Anyway, defeat all other enemy officers ASAP. Eventually, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan will arrive to support the enemy. Defeat them both. Once Liu Bei charges out, defeat Xu Shu, and then finally Liu Bei. Farewell Liu Bei. We'll sorely miss you. Campaign against Cao Cao Region: Guan Du --- Dong Zhuo's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Dong Zhuo COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Dong Zhuo's Forces Cao Cao's Forces ------------------ ---------------- Dong Zho Cao Cao -Li Ru -Xun Yu -Mi Fang (Note) Xiahou Yuan Lu Bu -Yu Jin -Diao Chan -Cheng Yu Zhang Liao Dian Wei Hua Xiong -Li Dian Li Jue Cao Pi Guo Si -Guo Jia -Gao Shun -Cao Zhang Cao Ren -Cao Hong -Cao Xiu -Xun You *Yue Jin *Xu Huang *Xiahou Dun Note: Mi Fang will only appear here if you defeated him three times and he surrenders to you before Liu Bei charges out of the castle in Campaign against Liu Bei. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Dong Zhuo is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is like the same thing as Lu Bu's version. First off, Cheng Yu will be wandering around at the left path, so defeat him. Then attack Cao Xiu who guards the west gate of Cao Ren's battlement. Make sure when attacking him, that you do not cross the bridge. Instead, lure Cao Xiu to the bridge. You can do this by hitting him with an arrow. Once you defeat Cao Xiu go back and go to the north gate of the battlement from outside, and defeat Cao Hong, and then go to the east gate, and defeat Xun You. Then defeat Cao Ren to take over the battlement. Now, you have two routes to take. LEFT PATH Go down the left path. Yu Jin will be guarding the entrance gate of the battlement Xiahou Yuan is in. Once you defeat him, the gate opens. Xiahou Yuan will then feign retreat. If you have thought he is trying to lure you into an ambush, you're good. Yue Jin will ambush you when you follow Xiahou Yuan. Then Li Ru will suggest searching for another ambush party. Xu Huang is the other ambush enemy officer, but so far, I have found no way to foil his ambush, yet I can foil Yue Jin's. Oh well. RIGHT PATH When you go down the circular path, Cao Zhang will attack you. Defeating him will trigger Xu Huang's ambush. After the ambush, Li Ru will mention to search another ambush party. You can foil Yue Jin's ambush. Just make sure that Yu Jin is not defeated yet, as that will mess things up. Just approach Xiahou Yuan's battlement from the south, and you'll discover it. Yue Jin will then attempt to retreat. Anyway, back to where I was. Defeat Guo Jia and then Cao Pi. Either way, you will end up at the southern castle. That is where Cao Cao is. Li Dian secures the entrance gate, and defeating him opens it up. Take note that once you enter deep inside the castle, Cao Cao will close the gates and ambush you, whereupon Xiahou Dun will appear to attack Dong Zhuo. His max morale will pose a threat. A guard captain guards the gate of the castle, so defeat him to reopen the gate. Now you can either go back and defeat Xiahou Dun quickly, or defeat Cao Cao quickly before Xiahou Dun defeats Dong Zhuo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dong Zhuo - Final Act: Lu Bu's Revolt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Dong Zhuo successfully defeats Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao. He then gains a lot of land. He also acquires much power than he ever had before. However, Lu Bu has now revolted, and is standing on Dong Zhuo's way. It seems Dong Zhuo may have to deal with Lu Bu, even if they had helped each other. Lu Bu's Revolt Region: Nan Yang --- Dong Zhuo's Forces VS Lu Bu's Forces Dong Zhuo COMMANDER Lu Bu UNIT INFO Dong Zhuo's Forces Lu Bu's Forces ------------------ -------------- Dong Zhuo Lu Bu Diao Chan Zhang Liao Li Ru Gao Shun Li Jue Chen Gong Hua Xiong Xu Rong Guo Si OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Lu Bu. Defeat-Dong Zhuo is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 While it is not stated in the objectives, I believe that if Lu Bu retreats, you lose. Anyway, Lu Bu's troops are outnumbered, but they have very high morale. First, defeat Gao Shun and Zhang Liao. When Lu Bu and Diao Chan meet, Lu Bu will say "Diao Chan, I cannot fight you." and will withdraw. In the meantime, defeat Chen Gong. When Lu Bu attacks, strangely enough, he will have no problem to attack her. Also, if Diao Chan is defeated, Lu Bu will say "Dong Zhuo, why did you take Diao Chan into battle? You! You are the one that killed Diao Chan!" Also, if all enemy soldiers and officers but Lu Bu are defeated, Lu Bu will say "From now on, I shall walk the path alone!" Anyway, once Lu Bu is defeated, you win, but it's ironic how Lu Bu appears in Dong Zhuo's endings, as he's supposed to be dead here. Ah, oh well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ __ __ \_/ | | |__| |\ | |__ |__| |__| | | | |__| | | | \| __| | | | | |__| Yuan Shao Musou Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuan Shao - Act I: The Esteemed Yuan Family ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han forces have been rebelled by a sect of people known as the Yellow Turbans. The Han forces move forth to attack the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turban leader is Zhang Jiao. Among the people who join to crush the Yellow Turbans is the esteemed and noble Yuan Shao. The Yellow Turban Menace Region: Xu Province Bonus: Defeating Zhang Liang here will cause him to not appear in The Yellow Turban Rebellion. --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans Huangfu Song COMMANDER Zhang Liang UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- Huangfu Song Zhang Liang Cao Cao -Han Xian -Random Wei officer Zhang Man Cheng -Random Wei officer Guan Hai Sun Jian Gao Sheng -Random Wu officer Deng Mao -Random Wu officer Huang Shao Liu Bei Liu Pi -Random Shu officer *He Yi -Random Shu officer *Yan Zheng OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Liang. Defeat-Huangfu Song is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is the exact same thing as the Shu, Wei, and Wu versions. Go defeat Gao Sheng, and clear the south gate of enemy officers. Then go either west and defeat Deng Mao and Huang Shao, or attack Liu Pi and Guan Hai to the east. Once Zhang Liang calls forth the rain storm, go to where Huangfu Song is, and defeat He Yi when he ambushes Huangfu Song. Then escort Huangfu Song to the north gate, where he'll be ambushed by Yan Zheng. Go and take out Yan Zheng as well. Then go and defeat all other enemy officers. Once you defeat Zhang Liang, victory shall be yours. The Yellow Turban Fortress Region: Guan Du Bonus: Defeating Zhang Bao here will cause him to not appear in The Yellow Turban Rebellion. --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans Zhu Jun COMMANDER Zhang Bao UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- Zhu Jun Zhang Bao Cao Cao Cheng Yuanzhi -Random Wei officer Zhou Cang -Random Wei officer Pei Yuan Shao Sun Jian He Yi -Random Wu officer Bo Zhang -Random Wu officer Liu Bei -Random Shu officer -Random Shu officer OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Bao. Defeat-Zhu Jun is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is basically the same thing as the other three. So yes, you will have a choice time. LEFT PATH Defeat Bo Zhang to open the entrance to the battlement. A Phantom Army spell will attack the Han forces. As Sun Jian says, "Behind every spell there is always some gimmick." And he's right. There are two glowing implements. One is near the exit gate of the battlement. From there, go right according to the map to find the other one. Oh yeah, while taking them glowing things out, take down Zhou Cang. Oh yeah, later Zhou Cang will join your Shu forces. RIGHT PATH Go ahead and defeat He Yi. Also take out the gate captain near him. When you go deep inside the circular path at the right path Pei Yuan Shao will summon what appears to be the magical powers of the wind. As Cao Cao says, keep advancing against the wind to the bottom of the circular path and you'll discover it's not magic that creates the wind, rather, the winds are being created by windmills. You can destroy the windmills by hitting them until they fall. Destroying the windmills will stop the winds, and you'll get a comment about stopping the winds. Then take out Pei Yuan Shao. Either way, when you reach the castle at the bottom of the map (called Guan Du Castle), Cheng Yuanzhi will be guarding the gates, and defeating him will open up the gates. Note that if you defeat all enemy officers (including sub- officers, but there is none!) and defeating the gate captain close to Zhang Bao, this will cause him to withdraw. The Yellow Turban Rebellion Region: Ji Province --- Han Forces VS Yellow Turbans He Jin COMMANDER Zhang Jiao UNIT INFO Han Forces Yellow Turbans ---------- -------------- He Jin Zhang Jiao Cao Cao -Huang Shao -Random Wei officer -Liu Pi -Random Wei officer -Zhou Cang Sun Jian -Han Xian -Random Wu officer Zhang Bao (Note) -Random Wu officer Zhang Man Cheng Liu Bei -Guan Hai -Random Shu officer Zhang Liang (Note) -Random Shu officer Bo Zhang -Deng Mao Pei Yuan Shao -He Yi -Yan Zheng Cheng Yuanzhi -Gao Sheng Note: If you have defeated Zhang Liang and/or Zhang Bao in The Yellow Turban Menace and/or the Yellow Turban Fortress, they will not appear here, and thus, their spells will be nullified. But if both are not present, Zhang Jiao will summon a rockslide when you reach the Ji Province city, and Bo Zhang will become powered up if Zhang Liang does not appear, and Zhang Man Cheng will be powered up if Zhang Bao does not appear. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhang Jiao. Defeat-He Jin is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 Yes, this is the same version as Shu, Wei, and Wu versions. You can choose either path. First off, though, you should start near the middle, so defeat He Yi and Yan Zheng. Then Gao Sheng will be wandering around not too far from here. Go and take him out as well. Now you can choose your path. LEFT PATH If you chose the left path, you'll deal with Guan Hai and Zhang Man Cheng. And Zhang Bao if you did not defeat him in The Yellow Turban Fortress. If he does appear, he'll activate flame geysers that can damage you. If he does not appear, the flame geyser event will not be around, but Zhang Man Cheng will be powered up, as I said in the note above. But still he's not too hard. Then go ahead and skip the right path section. RIGHT PATH By going to the right path, you will deal with Deng Mao and Bo Zhang. Zhang Liang will also appear if you did not defeat him in The Yellow Turban Menace. If he does appear, he'll send a not-good rock slide attack. These rocks can take a good amount of health away from you. But these rocks can't differentiate whether if it's friend or foe, so it also hits the turban boys. Defeating Zhang Liang will stop the rock attack, but a few rocks will still roll around. If Liang doesn't appear, Bo Zhang will be powered, but like Man Cheng, he's not too hard even if he's powered up. Either way, go ahead and take out Zhou Cang and Han Xian. If both Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang did not appear, Zhang Jiao will summon a rock slide attack similar to that of Zhang Liang's, but this one cannot be stopeed, but it can be easily avoided. From not on it's just a matter of taking down Zhang Jiao's remaining sub-officers (which should be Huang Shao and Liu Pi) before taking out Zhang Jiao. Note that if you take down all officers (including sub- officers) and defeat the gate captain right next to Zhang Jiao, Jiao will retreat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuan Shao - Act II: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han forces successfully defeat Zhang Jiao and crush the Yellow Turbans. Following that, it is Dong Zhuo that takes control of the Imperial Forces. His tyranny begins to dissatisfy people. Yuan Shao, knowing the evil tyrant must be stopped somehow, begins to call forth an alliance of officers. Battle of Si Shui Gate Region: Xu Chang Bonus: If you take over the supply depot in Si Shui Gate, Sun Jian will gain morale boost in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. If you defeat Hua Xiong, he will not ambush Yuan Shao in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. --- Allied Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Li Jue UNIT INFO Allied Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ------------- ------------------ Yuan Shao Li Jue -Zhang He -Li Meng Yuan Shu -Yang Feng Gongsun Zan Guo Si Cao Cao Li Ru -Random Wei officer Hua Xiong Sun Jian -Hu Zhen -Random Wu officer -Zhao Cen Liu Bei Fan Chou -Random Shu officer -Wang Fang Niou Fu Gao Shun Li Su *Zhang Liao OR Dong Min OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Li Jue. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 Yes, this is the same thing as the other three versions. You should start off at the north, so go west and defeat Guo Si and Li Ru. Then jump over the small wooden wall near Li Ru and storm the enemy supply depot. Defeat Wang Fang first. Then defeat Fan Chou to gain control of the supply depot, so Sun Jian is all safe and stuff. Once you take over, Hua Xiong will charge out. Now go south to where Cao Cao's forces are, and help him take down Li Su, Niou Fu, and Gao Shun. If you don't take over the depot in time, eventually Sun Jian's forces will have a morale drop, Sun Jian will say "Where is the supply convoy? Our morale is dwindling!", a message will say "Si Shui Gate's first and second gates have opened, and Hua Xiong will charge out of the gates. When Sun Jian withdraws, you'll get a message saying "Hua Xiong's unit is charging!" and Yuan Shao saying "Are there no warriors here that can defeat Hua Xiong!?!" If you defeat him (if you want weapon experience to level up your weapon, take out Hua Xiong's two sub-officers Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen before taking Hua Xiong out) you'll get a scene in which you'll announce that you defeated Hua Xiong. If Zhang Liao arrives as reinforcements, he'll attack Yuan Shao. Go and take him out. If you have already unlocked Liao for Wei, then Dong Min will be an enemy reinforcement officer, but won't attack Yuan Shao. Either way, a few minutes after Hua Xiong has been defeated regardless of finding the supply depot or not, Li Jue will say "Si Shui Gate is lost! Retreat!" and withdraw (annoying if you need some weapon experience). Battle of Hu Lao Gate Region: Luo Yang --- Allied Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Allied Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces ------------- ------------------ Yuan Shao Dong Zhuo -Yan Liang -Niou Fu -Wen Chou -Fan Chou Yuan Shu -Wang Fang Gongsun Zan Li Ru Cao Cao -Xu Rong -Random Wei officer Li Jue Sun Jian -Jia Xu -Random Wu officer Guo Si Liu Bei -Li Meng -Random Shu officer Diao Chan Zhang Liao OR Dong Min -Gao Shun *Lu Bu *Hua Xiong (Note) *-Hu Zhen (Note) *-Zhao Cen (Note) Note: If you have defeated Hua Xiong in Battle of Si Shui Gate, he, along with Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen, will not appear to ambush Yuan Shao. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Dong Zhuo. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 Once again, it's the same Battle of Hu Lao Gate for the Shu, Wei, and Wu versions. This time, you start near Sun Jian, so you have to defeat Guo Si to open up Qing Long Gate. Then go ahead and help Cao Cao defeat Li Ru, and help Liu Bei defeat Zhang Liao or Dong Min, whoever appears. Also, the ram should have appeared. Wait until Hu Lao Gate is rammed down, then proceed to... wait, wait!!! Lu Bu is here! Well, if you have trained Zhang He in Wei Musou Mode, you probably won't have a problem. If you don't want to defeat Lu Bu, go ahead and skip him. Just go to Diao Chan and defeat the songstress (who cares if she's beautiful?). That will open up Luo Yang's gates, where Dong Zhuo will set fire to it once you enter it. Go and defeat the remaining officers (besides Lu Bu if you don't want to). If you DO defeat Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo will retreat a few minutes later after you enter Luo Yang. If you are trying to defeat Lu Bu and you take too much time attacking him, Dong Zhuo will eventually open Luo Yang's gates without burning the city and his army will charge. If he does charge, every enemy officer alive will have an eight-star morale. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuan Shao - Act III: The Villain's Demise ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Allied forces of Yuan Shao successfully overpower Dong Zhuo's forces at Hu Lao Gate. Now the allied officers depart on their own to rule the land of China. Yuan Shao is no exception. He quickly and easily defeats Gongsun Zan's forces. But now, Cao Cao is a threat to Yuan Shao. They both may have been allies before, but now they have a score to settle. Battle of Guan Du Region: Guan Du --- Yuan Shao's Forces VS Cao Cao's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Yuan Shao's Forces Cao Cao's Forces ------------------ ---------------- Yuan Shao Cao Cao -Gao Lan -Cheng Yu -Yuan Tan -Jia Xu -Ju Shou Cao Ren Yan Liang -Cao Hong Wen Chou -Man Chong Chunyu Qiong Xiahou Dun -Lu Wei Kuang Xu Zhu Zhang He (Note) -Yue Jin Yuan Xi Xiahou Yuan -Guo Tu -Guo Jia Liu Bei Guan Yu -Zhang Fei Yu Jin Yuan Shang -Xun You Xun Chen -Zhu Ling Han Meng Xun Yu *Li Dian (Note) *Zhang He (Note) Note: If you have unlocked Zhang He for Wei, he wil not appear here. Zhang He will only defect if he appears and Wu Chao is burned. Li Dian will only appear if you take either Bai Ma or Yan Jin, and then approach Guan Du Castle. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. To start off, Guan Yu will say "Lord Yan Liang, I have come for your head." and will attack Yan Liang. He will have no problem defeating him. If you encounter Guan Yu, he will challenge you to a duel, but he is almost impossible to beat in a duel. After that, he will pursue you. To solve this, lure Guan Yu to Liu Bei, and then both of them, along with Zhang Fei, will retreat. Note that this effectively has his reign of terror on you. If you don't encounter Guan Yu, he will start to defeat Wen Chou, Yuan Shang, and Gao Lan in that order. Upon him defeating Wen Chou, Yuan Shao will be a bit afraid and order to stop Guan Yu. Upon hearing this, Liu Bei will be surprised to find out Guan Yu is around, and will move to his location. When they find each other, they will retreat. To solve this, lure Guan Yu to Liu Bei. Now, first off, defeat Xun You and Zhu Ling, who are guarding the gates of Bai Ma Castle, where Yu Jin is. Do not defeat Yu Jin yet. In fact, don't even take either Bai Ma or Yan Jin yet. Just defeat Xun You and Zhu Ling. Then go and defeat Man Chong. Now, head to the east path and defeat Yue Jin, Xu Zhu, and Xun Yu. Note that Cao Cao will have a fake supply unit on the circular road of the right path. If you approach this supply unit, you'll be in an archer ambush. The supply is no more than a meat bun. So kill the archers and the supply unit. Then head down to Guan Du Castle. Defeat Xiahou Yuan. Then approach Yan Jin from the south to attack and defeat Xiahou Dun. Now, storm Yan Jin, and just defeat Cao Hong. Now, you may wish to take either Yan Jin or Bai Ma, but I wouldn't recommend it, at least not yet. Go back to Guan Du Castle and defeat the guard captain to open up the gates. Then defeat Cheng Yu and Jia Xu. Now you may wish to defeat Yu Jin or Cao Ren and take the castle. After you take it, when you approach Guan Du, Li Dian will appear. He will make his way to Wu Chao, and try to burn it by defeating Chunyu Qiong. Just defeat Li Dian. Don't worry about the task leaders, as defeating Li Dian will have Chunyu Qiong's forces defeating the task leaders when they arrive at Wu Chao. Now, Cao Cao should be the only one left. When Yuan Shang or Yuan Xi approaches Guan Du, Yuan Shao's troops will use a battering ram to break down the walls. This is not necessary to guard the ram, because you can defeat the guard captain to open up the gates (which you should have done by now). Now storm inside the castle, and defeat Cao Cao. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuan Shao - Final Act: The Yuan Family Rules ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Yuan Shao successfully defeats Cao Cao at Guan Du. However, threats are still on the way to Yuan Shao's forces. Liu Bei's forces have been holed up at Xia Pi Castle. Sun Jian had been also threat to Yuan Shao. Now the esteemed Yuan Family must be prepared to eliminate these threats, so the Yuan Family can take over the land of China. Campaign against Liu Bei Region: Xu Province Bonus: If you defeat Mi Fang three times before Liu Bei charges out of the castle, and Mi Fang surrenders to you, he will appear as a sub-officer under Yuan Shao in Campaign against Sun Jian. --- Yuan Shao's Forces VS Liu Bei's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Liu Bei UNIT INFO Yuan Shao's Forces Liu Bei's Forces ------------------ ---------------- Yuan Shao Liu Bei -Yuan Xi -Xu Shu Tian Feng Guan Yu Zhang He -Guan Ping Yan Liang Zhang Fei Wen Chou -Fu Shi Ren Yuan Tan *Huang Zhong Yuan Shang *Ma Chao *Mi Fang (Note) *Mi Fang (1) *Mi Fang (2) *Mi Fang (3) *Mi Zhu *Zhao Yun *Wei Yan Note: You can get Mi Fang to defect to your side. To do this, defeat Mi Fang before Liu Bei charges out of Xia Pi Castle. Liu Bei's forces will charge out when either Guan Yu or Zhang Fei both are defeated, or Zhao Yun and Wei Yan appear as enemy reinforcements. If done correctly, you'll see a scene where Mi Fang's life is spared and he'll offer to join your side. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is the same version as Lu Bu's and Dong Zhuo's. But this time, no matter who you choose, you will end up somewhere to the southwest. So first, defeat Fu Shi Ren. Then defeat Guan Ping. This will cause Huang Zhong and Ma Chao to arrive. Then defeat Huang Zhong and Guan Yu. Be careful. Guan Yu is a bit tough here, and so is Huang Zhong, so watch out. After dealing with them, Mi Fang should have appeared. Go ahead and defeat him. Once Tian Feng gives Mi Fang false information, go and deal with Ma Chao. Don't defeat Zhang Fei yet if you want Mi Fang to surrender and defect. Basically, to get Mi Fang to defect, defeat him three times BEFORE Liu Bei charges out. Liu Bei will charge out only if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both are defeated, or when Zhao Yun and Wei Yan arrive as enemy reinforcements. If done, you will see a scene where Mi Fang is spared by Yuan Shao and offers to serve for him. He will then infiltrate Xia Pi Castle and open up the castle gates. Also, defeating him a second time reveals Mi Zhu's ambush party right out of his talkative and traitorous mouth. Anyway, if you don't want Mi Fang to surrender, then go ahead and defeat Zhang Fei. Once both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are defeated, Liu Bei will swear to avenge his brothers, and his forces will charge right out. Go ahead and defeat Xu Shu now. Also, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan may have arrived, and chances are Mi Zhu should have ambushed Yuan Shao now. Go back to Yuan Shao headquarters and take out Mi Zhu, so save the Yuan Shao H. Q. before it is destroyed and covered in rubble. Now go defeat Zhao Yun and Wei Yan when they arrive. Then defeat all other enemy officers that were not defeated yet. Once Liu Bei's the only one left, defeat him and you win. Campaign against Sun Jian Region: He Fei --- Yuan Shao's Forces VS Sun Jian's Forces Yuan Shao COMMANDER Sun Jian UNIT INFO Yuan Shao's Forces Sun Jian's Forces ------------------ ----------------- Yuan Shao Sun Jian -Tian Feng -Zhu Huan -Mi Fang (Note) -Xu Sheng Zhang He Sun Quan Yuan Tan Lu Meng Yuan Xi -Ling Tong Yuan Shang Zhou Tai Wen Chou -Jiang Qin Yan Liang *Gan Ning -Zhu Zhi *Sun Shang Xiang -Pan Zhang *Sun Ce Note: Mi Fang will only appear here if you defeated him three times and he surrenders to you before Liu Bei charges out of the castle in Campaign against Liu Bei. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sun Jian. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 Yes, this is the same thing as Lu Bu's and Dong Zhuo's versions. So, here's a choice time, and you choose a route. LEFT PATH If you continue to the castle while traveling on the left path, you'll eventually find Zhu Zhi, who is under Gan Ning. But strange, Gan Ning ain't around. Well, once you defeat Zhu Zhi, Gan Ning will ambush you. Defeat Zhu Zhi, then Gan Ning when he ambushes you. But don't continue to the castle yet. Before you enter the castle, defeat Xu Sheng first, then backtrack to the middle path, and defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. MIDDLE PATH I'd recommend the middle path. First off, Ling Tong secures the west gate, and Jiang Qin patrols the east gate. Once you approach Ling Tong or Jiang Qin, Lu Meng and Zhou Tai raise morale, respectively. Defeat Ling Tong and Jiang Qin to open up the gates, then defeat Lu Meng and Zhou Tai. RIGHT PATH Pan Zhang will appear here. Like Gan Ning, Sun Shang Xiang will appear to ambush you once Pan Zhang is defeated. Once you defeat them both, defeat Zhu Huan, BUT DON'T ENTER THE CASTLE!!! Backtrack to the middle quickly as possible and defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. Note that after three minute passes, Li Ru will be suspicious of the enemy being up to something and will suggest to quickly advance to Sun Jian. Well, the Sun Jian in the castle is just a decoy (how does he do it? I mean, Battle of Jian Ye, for example...). The real Sun Jian will appear to ambush Dong Zhuo's forces from behind once you enter the castle's deep insides. Also, if ten minutes pass and you don't enter the castle until that, then Sun Jian will burn the insides of the castle (what a friggin waste). Once you enter the deep insides of the castle (if you have entered the castle through the west or south gate, you can sneak by hugging the south walls so that you can defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Sun Quan without Sun Jian's decoy activating), Gan Ning and Sun Shang Xiang will reinforce the enemy. Once the real Sun Jian appears, make sure to go back and back up Dong Zhuo, and defeat Sun Ce on the way. Just defeat Sun Jian to end the stage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ |\ | |__| |\ | |\ /| |__| |\ | | \| | | | \| | \/ | | | | \| Nanman Musou Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nanman - Act I: Invasion from the North ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Nanman troops have lived happily in the southern lands of Nan Zhong. However, their happiness was ending. Zhuge Liang's forces from the Shu army have been sent to attack the Nanman forces. Meng Huo does not tolerate this disruption, and goes forth to attack the invaders from the Shu army. The Nanman Campaign Region: Nan Zhong --- Nanman Forces VS Shu Forces Meng Huo COMMANDER Zhuge Liang UNIT INFO Nanman Forces Shu Forces ------------- ---------- Meng Huo Zhuge Liang -Meng You -Zhao Yun -Mang Yachang -Guan Suo -Dailai Dongzhu Wei Yan Zhu Rong -Wang Ping Wu Tugu -Zhang Yi King Mulu -Zhang Bao King Duosi Ma Su Jinhuan Sanjie Ma Chao Dong Tu Ne Pang Tong Ahui Nan -Guan Xing Yong Kai Huang Zhong *Yang Feng -Jiang Wei -Ma Liang *Ma Dai *-Lu Kai *Dong Tu Ne (Note) *Ahui Nan (Note) *Yang Feng (Note) Note: Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne will only defect if Wu Tugu is defeated. I have seen Yang Feng defect, but I do not know the requirements for him to defect. If anyone knows how Yang Feng defects, then please send in the information, and I will give you credit. Thank you. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhuge Liang. Defeat-Meng Huo is defeated. This time, The Nanman Campaign is easy. First, I believe you should start to the southwest. Go and defeat Zhang Yi and Zhang Bao first. Then proceed to find Wang Ping. Eliminate him as well. Then go ahead and defeat Wei Yan. Next, approach Ma Chao and defeat him as well. By now, Ma Su should have fallen back and Wu Tugu should be pursuing him. Ma Su will actually try to lure Wu Tugu into Zhuge Liang's fire attack, and if it succeeds, Wu Tugu will be defeated. So quickly defeat Ma Su to save Wu Tugu. If Wu Tugu is defeated, Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne will defect. But I don't get it, because in the next Nanman stages, they rejoin. Doesn't Meng Huo want to execute them or something? Anyway, now Ma Dai and Lu Kai should have arrived as enemy reinforcements. So go ahead and take care of them as well. Now go east and defeat Jiang Wei, Ma Liang, and Huang Zhong. Then defeat all enemy officers that aren't in the Shu camp. Now enter the Shu camp, and defeat Zhao Yun, Guan Suo, and finally Zhuge Liang. Actually, if Zhuge Liang is the only enemy officer left, he'll realize the campaign has failed, and will retreat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nanman - Act II: Taking Wu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Meng Huo successfully defends himself and the Nanman territory from the forces of Zhuge Liang. He is infuriated, and wants to defeat Zhuge Liang, so he tries to find him. On the way, though, his forces are swallowed up by the Chang Jiang River, and he finds the Wu capital of Jian Ye. He then proceeds to take Jian Ye and defeat Sun Jian. Battle of Jian Ye Region: Wu Territory --- Nanman Forces VS Wu Forces Meng Huo COMMANDER 1. Sun Jian 2. Sun Ce 3. Sun Quan 4. Sun Shang Xiang UNIT INFO Nanman Forces Wu Forces ------------- --------- Meng Huo Sun Jian -Dailai Dongzhu Sun Ce Zhu Rong Sun Quan -Meng Jie Sun Shang Xiang Wu Tugu Taishi Ci -King Duosi -Zhu Ran -Meng You -Ding Feng King Mulu Zhou Tai -Dong Tu Ne -Xu Sheng -Jinhuan Sanjie -Sun Shao Cheng Pu -Jiang Qin *Zhuge Jin OBJECTIVES: Victory-1. Defeat Sun Jian. 2. Defeat Sun Ce. 3. Defeat Sun Quan. 4. Defeat Sun Shang Xiang. Defeat-Meng Huo is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This is basically the same thing as the Shu and Wei versions, with a slight difference: Huang Gai is replaced by Cheng Pu. Other that than, it's the same thing. The Sun Jian clones, the Sun sibling infinity, the Sun commanders, blah blah. If you take the left path, you'll deal with Taishi Ci, Zhu Ran, and Ding Feng. Taking the middle path results in you fighting a battle against Jiang Qin and Cheng Pu. Finally, the right path has Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, and Sun Shao for you to deal with. Defeat any enemy sub-officer, and the Sun Jian clones come out. Defeating the Sun Jian clones brings another clone to the rear of the Nanman camp, along with Zhuge Jin. Defeat all Sun Jian clones to lower Sun Jian's morale, and defeat Zhuge Jin. Do not defeat Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, or Cheng Pu yet. Just defeat their sub-officers. Once all Sun Jian clones are defeated and all enemy sub-officers are defeated, now you can defeat either one. When you defeat one of them, the Sun siblings charge out. Now defeat Sun Jian. Then defeat Sun Ce, and Cheng Pu if you haven't defeated him as of yet. Next, defeat Sun Quan, and defeat Taishi Ci as well if you have not. Finally, Sun Shang Xiang and Zhou Tai, if you did not defeat him yet, are in the right path, so take them out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nanman - Act III: Taking Wei ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Nanman troops take over Jian Ye, and defeat Sun Jian's forces there. Now they travel. They then stumble upon a large capital. Meng Huo and his forces decide to take it as well. The capital they are going to attack is Xu Chang, guarded by the Wei forces of Cao Cao, the Hero of Chaos. Battle of Xu Chang Region: Xu Chang --- Nanman Forces VS Wei Forces Meng Huo COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Nanman Forces Wei Forces ------------- ---------- Meng Huo Cao Cao -Dong Tu Ne -Jia Xu Zhu Rong *-Jia Kui Wu Tugu Sima Yi -Yong Kai -Sima Zhao Dailai Dongzhu Xiahou Dun King Mulu -Cao Hong -Gao Ding Cao Pi -Ahui Nan -Deng Ai King Duosi -Hu Zhi -Meng You Cao Zhen Cao Xiu Man Chong *Xu Zhu *-Cao Zhang *Cao Ren *-Xin Pi OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Meng Huo is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 Once again, this is the same thing as the Shu and Wu versions, but there are some slight changes in the unit info. Dian Wei is replaced by Cao Pi, Zhen Ji is replaced by Cao Zhen, and Pang De is replaced by Cao Ren when he ambushes you. Got it? Good. First, race it south to Wu Ru Guan Gates, where Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are. Defeat them quickly. Next, race upwards, and take out Hu Zhi quickly along the way. Then go north and defeat Cao Hong, or Xiahou Dun but only if he challenges you to a duel. By this time, the siege ramp may have appeared. Now quickly go west and take out Man Chong. Xu Zhu should have launched his ambush back at the supply depot. Go back to the supply depot where Dailai Dongzhu is, and defeat both Cao Zhang and Xu Zhu. Now both of Sima Yi's attacks should have failed. Now, if Sima Zhao comes out of the castle's northwest gate, defeat him. Then go ahead and defeat Deng Ai located all the way at the southeast corner. If Jia Kui's troops have arrived, go back to the supply depot, and take out Jia Kui and all the enemy troops. Then wait until the gunpowder is discovered in the castle, and wait until it blows up. Now storm the castle. If you enter the castle from the southeast, Cao Ren and Xin Pi will ambush you. I find it to be much easier to attack from the west. Defeat Sima Yi first. Then go up the castle walls and defeat Jia Xu. Don't defeat Cao Cao just yet. Go to where Cao Pi is, and defeat him as well. Now trigger Cao Ren's ambush, and defeat both Xin Pi and Cao Ren. Finally, defeat Cao Cao, and victory is yours! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nanman - Final Act: Taking Shu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Nanman forces have successfully managed to gain control of the lands of both Wu and Wei. Now they plan to head back home. But along the way, Meng Huo's troops find the enemies that have invaded their territory earlier in Cheng Du. Now a decisive battle is beginning between the Nanman forces, and Liu Bei's forces. Battle of Cheng Du Region: Cheng Du --- Nanman Forces VS Shu Forces Meng Huo COMMANDER Liu Bei UNIT INFO Nanman Forces Shu Forces ------------- ---------- Meng Huo Zhuge Liang -Meng You -Jiang Wei Zhu Rong Zhao Yun -Meng Jie Ma Su King Mulu -Guan Xing Wu Tugu -Guan Suo King Duosi Ma Dai Dailai Dongzhu -Mi Zhu Dong Tu Ne Wang Ping Ahui Nan Yue Ying Yang Feng -Li Yan *Zhu Bao (Note) Zhu Bao *-Yong Kai (Note) -Yong Kai *-Gao Ding (Note) -Gao Ding *Zhang Bao *Ma Chao *Liu Bei *-Ma Liang *-Guan Yu *-Guan Ping *-Zhang Yi Note: To get Zhu Bao to defect to the Nanman Forces, defeat either Yong Kai or Gao Ding. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Meng Huo is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 This is a little bit different from the Wei and Wu versions of this stage. Zhu Bao has somewhat defected for God who knows why. Wang Ping doesn't have Liao Hua and Gao Xiang as sub-officers anymore. Zhao Yun appears here. Other than that, it's pretty much majorly the same thing. First off, Ma Dai will run straight to Fu Shui Gate to rescue Zhu Bao. Quickly defeat Ma Dai. Forget about Mi Zhu. Now go and defeat either Yong Kai or Gao Ding. This will cause Zhu Bao to regain his senses and join back to the Nanman forces, where he should have been instead of the Shu forces. Now, approaching Jian Yan Bridge will cause Zhang Bao to appear. Defeat Zhang Bao. Now when you attack Luo Castle, Meng Huo will send Wu Tugu to counter attack. Quickly defeat either Guan Xing or Guan Suo, and then charge into Luo Castle and defeat Ma Su. Now, first go south and eliminate Wang Ping, Li Yan, and Yue Ying. As usual, when you approach Yue Ying, she will attack with juggernauts. Defeat her to stop the juggernauts. Also, mines are still around. So watch out. Once you clear the south path of enemy officers, let's move on to the forest. First off, though, defeat Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei. Also, by now Ma Chao may have appeared in Luo Castle. He will cut a path straight to Meng Huo, so quickly defeat him before he attacks Meng Huo. Now, trigger one of the enemy officer ambushes inside Mian Zhu Forest. In case you don't know, if you continue onto the south horizontal path in the forest, Guan Yu will ambush you. If you continue onto the north horizontal path in the forst, Guan Ping will appear. From Luo Castle's west gate, if you make a right at the first fork (north according to the map) then a left at the next fork (left also on the map) Zhang Yi will then ambush you. Now than you know where the ambushes are, defeat Guan Yu, Guan Ping, and Zhang Yi. Liu Bei should have appeared now. First, defeat Ma Liang. Finally, defeat Liu Bei and you win! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ __ ___ __ __ __ __ \_/ |__ | | | | \ /\ / | | | |__| |__\ |__| |\ | |__ | |__ |__ |__ |__| \/ \/ | |__| | \ |__/ | | | \| __| Yellow Turbans Musou Mode ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yellow Turbans - Act I: The Han is dead! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Han forces have been rebelled by a sect of people known as the Yellow Turbans. The leader of this sect is Zhang Jiao. For a counter attack, the Han forces move onto the Yellow Turban Fortress. The forces raiding the fortress are led by Zhu Jun. After the attack, Zhang Jiao plans his campaign against Liu Bei. The Yellow Turban Fortress Region: Guan Du Bonus: Clearing this stage will make Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang dam the river with a boulder in Campaign against Liu Bei. --- Yellow Turbans VS Han Forces Zhang Jiao COMMANDER Zhu Jun UNIT INFO Yellow Turbans Han Forces -------------- ---------- Zhang Jiao Zhu Jun -Cheng Yuanzhi Cao Cao Zhang Bao -Xiahou Dun -He Yi -Xiahou Yuan Zhang Bao Sun Jian -Bo Zhang -Huang Gai -Sun Shang Xiang Liu Bei -Guan Yu -Zhao Yun OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Zhu Jun. Defeat-Zhang Jiao is defeated. There isn't really any strategy to this one. Just go defeat the nearest enemy officers. First, defeat Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. Then defeat Liu Bei. Next up, Huang Gai and Sun Shang Xiang are in your 'Defeating officers' list. Then you can write down Sun Jian on that list. After that, go ahead and defeat the two Xiahou brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. Now go and attack Cao Cao. When Zhu Jun is the only one left, go ahead and defeat him. Campaign against Liu Bei Region: Xu Province --- Yellow Turbans VS Liu Bei's Forces Zhang Jiao COMMANDER Liu Bei UNIT INFO Yellow Turbans Liu Bei's Forces -------------- ---------------- Zhang Jiao Liu Bei -Deng Mao -Xu Shu Zhang Liang Guan Yu Zhou Cang -Guan Ping Pei Yuan Shao Zhao Yun Han Xian -Fu Shi Ren Zhang Bao *Huang Zhong Cheng Yuanzhi *Ma Chao *Mi Fang (Note) *Mi Fang (1) *Mi Fang (2) *Mi Fang (3) *Mi Zhu *Jian Yong *Wei Yan Note: You can get Mi Fang to defect to your side. To do this, defeat Mi Fang before Liu Bei charges out of Xia Pi Castle. Liu Bei's forces will charge out when either Guan Yu or Zhao Yun both are defeated, or Jian Yong and Wei Yan appear as enemy reinforcements. If done correctly, you'll see a scene where Mi Fang's life is spared and he'll offer to join your side. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat-Yuan Shao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is pretty much the same thing as Lu Bu's, Dong Zhuo's, and Yuan Shao's versions. The only difference is that Zhang Fei is replaced by Zhao Yun, and Jian Yong replaces Zhao Yun when he arrives with Wei Yan as enemy reinforcements. Start things by defeating both Guan Ping and Fu Shi Ren if you're on the south. If you're on the north, just defeat either Guan Yu or Zhao Yun. When Huang Zhong and/or Ma Chao appear, defeat him/them. Then when Mi Fang appears, go ahead and defeat him. If you want him to surrender, don't defeat both Guan Yu and Zhao Yun yet. To get Mi Fang to surrender, you have to defeat him all three times before Liu Bei's army charges out of the gates. The charge happens only when both Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are defeated, or Jian Yong and Wei yan arrive. If you defeat Mi Fang all three times before Liu Bei charges, then you'll see a scene where Zhang Jiao spares Mi Fang's life. Also, defeating Mi Fang a second time reveals Mi Zhu's ambush party. Anyway, defeat all enemy officers. When Jian Yong and Wei Yan arrive in the scene, take care of them as well. Once Liu Bei charges, go and defeat Xu Shu, and finally Liu Bei. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yellow Turbans - Act II: Long live the Yellow Turbans! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Zhang Jiao successfully defeats Liu Bei. It was Liu Bei's greed that made him lose against the Yellow Turbans. The desperate court of the Han army has now sent Sun Jian to attack the Yellow Turbans. Campaign against Sun Jian Region: He Fei --- Yellow Turbans VS Sun Jian's Forces Zhang Jiao COMMANDER Sun Jian UNIT INFO Yellow Turbans Sun Jian's Forces -------------- ----------------- Zhang Jiao Sun Jian -Zhang Man Cheng -Zhu Huan Zhang Bao -Xu Sheng Zhang Liang Lu Su Huang Shao Lu Meng Zhou Cang -Ling Tong He Yi Zhou Tai Cheng Yuanzhi -Jiang Qin *Gan Ning -Zhu Zhi *Sun Shang Xiang -Pan Zhang *Sun Ce OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Sun Jian. Defeat-Zhang Jiao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 60'00'00 This is identical to Lu Bu's, Dong Zhuo's, and Yuan Shao's versions of the stage. So just choose a path. LEFT PATH If you continue to the castle while traveling on the left path, you'll eventually find Zhu Zhi, who is under Gan Ning. But strange, Gan Ning ain't around. Well, once you defeat Zhu Zhi, Gan Ning will ambush you. Defeat Zhu Zhi, then Gan Ning when he ambushes you. But don't continue to the castle yet. Before you enter the castle, defeat Xu Sheng first, then backtrack to the middle path, and defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. MIDDLE PATH I'd recommend the middle path. First off, Ling Tong secures the west gate, and Jiang Qin patrols the east gate. Once you approach Ling Tong or Jiang Qin, Lu Meng and Zhou Tai raise morale, respectively. Defeat Ling Tong and Jiang Qin to open up the gates, then defeat Lu Meng and Zhou Tai. RIGHT PATH Pan Zhang will appear here. Like Gan Ning, Sun Shang Xiang will appear to ambush you once Pan Zhang is defeated. Once you defeat them both, defeat Zhu Huan, BUT DON'T ENTER THE CASTLE!!! Backtrack to the middle quickly as possible and defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. Note that after three minute passes, Zhang Jiao will be suspicious of the enemy being up to something and will suggest to quickly advance to Sun Jian. Well, the Sun Jian in the castle is just a decoy (how does he do it? I mean, Battle of Jian Ye, for example...). The real Sun Jian will appear to ambush Zhang Jiao forces from behind once you enter the castle's deep insides. Also, if ten minutes pass and you don't enter the castle until that, then Sun Jian will burn the insides of the castle (what a friggin waste). Once you enter the deep insides of the castle (if you have entered the castle through the west or south gate, you can sneak by hugging the south walls so that you can defeat Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Sun Quan without Sun Jian's decoy activating), Gan Ning and Sun Shang Xiang will reinforce the enemy. Once the real Sun Jian appears, make sure to go back and back up Zhang Jiao, and defeat Sun Ce on the way. Just defeat Sun Jian to end the stage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yellow Turbans - Act III: The New Age is near! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Yellow Turbans once again have a successful victory in battle. This time it is Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiang Dong that they beat. Now the Imperial Court turns to the villainious Cao Cao for a hope of defeating Zhang Jiao. Now the Yellow Turbans are outnumbered. In order to win now, Zhang Jiao must work with his brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to win against Cao Cao and show the Han forces the great power of the Heavens. The Yellow Turban Menace Region: Xu Province --- Yellow Turbans VS Han Forces Zhang Jiao COMMANDER Huangfu Song UNIT INFO Yellow Turbans Han Forces -------------- ---------- Zhang Jiao Huangfu Song -Zhang Man Cheng Cao Cao Zhang Bao -Xiahou Dun -Guan Hai -Xiahou Yuan Zhang Liang Sun Jian -Deng Mao -Huang Gai Gao Sheng -Sun Shang Xiang Liu Bei -Guan Yu -Zhao Yun OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Huangfu Song. Defeat-Zhang Jiao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 30'00'00 First off, defeat Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Huang Gai, Sun Shang Xiang, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun in any order. Next, defeat two out of the following three: Cao Cao, Sun Jian, or Liu Bei. Doing that will cause Huangfu Song to retreat. You can either try to take him out, or you can try to defeat the third officer. Or you can do both. :P I think if Huangfu Song is attacked, he will be stalled, so you can actually do both. Either way, once Huangfu Song's out of the picture, you win. Wow, that was short. Campaign against Cao Cao Region: Guan Du --- Yellow Turbans VS Cao Cao's Forces Zhang Jiao COMMANDER Cao Cao UNIT INFO Lu Bu's Forces Cao Cao's Forces -------------- ---------------- Zhang Jiao Cao Cao -Zhang Bao -Xun Yu Bo Zhang Xiahou Yuan Zhang Liang -Yu Jin Zhang Man Cheng -Cheng Yu Guan Hai Dian Wei Zhou Cang -Li Dian -He Yi Xu Zhu -Guo Jia -Cao Zhang Cao Ren -Cao Hong -Cao Xiu -Xun You *Yue Jin *Xu Huang *Xiahou Dun OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Cao Cao. Defeat-Zhang Jiao is defeated. This is basically the same thing... gah! I'm not gonna repeat it. Anyway, first, there's a minor difference here. Xu Zhu replaces Cao Pi. Anyway, now, first, go to the left path and defeat Cheng Yu, who should be wandering around. Next, go to the bridge that leads to the west gate of Cao Ren's battlement. Do not cross the bridge, but instead, lure Cao Xiu. This can be done by hitting him with an arrow. When he sees you, defeat him without crossing the bridge. Why? If you do, Cao Ren will destroy the bridge. You will then miss the opportunity to defeat Cao Hong and Xun You (unless you have a level 9 or level 10 weapon). LEFT PATH Go down the left path. Yu Jin will be guarding the entrance gate of the battlement Xiahou Yuan is in. Once you defeat him, the gate opens. Xiahou Yuan will then feign retreat. If you have thought he is trying to lure you into an ambush, you're good. Yue Jin will ambush you when you follow Xiahou Yuan. Then Chen Gong will suggest searching for another ambush party. Xu Huang is the other ambush enemy officer, but so far, I have found no way to foil his ambush, yet I can foil Yue Jin's. Oh well. RIGHT PATH When you go down the circular path, Cao Zhang will attack you. Defeating him will trigger Xu Huang's ambush. After the ambush, Zhang Bao will mention to search another ambush party. You can foil Yue Jin's ambush. Just make sure that Yu Jin is not defeated yet, as that will mess things up. Just approach Xiahou Yuan's battlement from the south, and you'll discover it. Yue Jin will then attempt to retreat. Anyway, back to where I was. Defeat Guo Jia and then Cao Pi. Either way, you will end up at the southern castle. That is where Cao Cao is. Li Dian secures the entrance gate, and defeating him opens it up. Take note that once you enter deep inside the castle, Cao Cao will close the gates and ambush you, whereupon Xiahou Dun will appear to attack Zhang Jiao. His max morale will pose a threat. A guard captain guards the gate of the castle, so defeat him to reopen the gate. Now you can either go back and defeat Xiahou Dun quickly, or defeat Cao Cao quickly before Xiahou Dun defeats Zhang Jiao. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yellow Turbans - Final Act: The World will know peace! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: Zhang Jiao manages to gain victory against Cao Cao. Now the Han forces are starting to become desperate. Then the enemy has pressed Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao to start fighting again. Now, all other Han generals have been sent to fight the Yellow Turbans as well. The Yellow Turban Rebellion Region: Ji Province --- Yellow Turbans VS Han Forces Zhang Jiao COMMANDER 1. He Jin 2. Dong Zhuo Yellow Turbans Han Forces -------------- ---------- Zhang Jiao He Jin -Zhou Cang Gongsun Zan -Han Xian -Zhao Yun Zhang Bao Zhu Jun -Huang Shao Huangfu Song Zhang Liang *Sun Jian -Liu Pi *-Huang Gai Pei Yuan Shao *Liu Bei -He Yi *-Guan Yu -Yan Zheng *Yuan Shao Bo Zhang *-Yan Liang -Deng Mao *-Wen Chou Zhang Man Cheng *Cao Cao -Guan Hai *-Xiahou Dun Cheng Yuanzhi *-Xiahou Yuan -Gao Sheng *Dong Zhuo *-Hua Xiong *Lu Bu OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat all enemy officers. Defeat-Zhang Jiao is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 To start off, defeat Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. Then go east and face Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun. Defeat Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan. Now, by this time, Sun Jian and Huang Gai may have arrived. Then Liu Bei and Guan Yu should appear. Go and defeat them both. Defeating Liu Bei triggers the arrival of Yuan Shao's forces to the east. Take out Yuan Shao quickly. Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan should arrive in the picture once Sun Jian is defeated. Defeat all three of them. Then defeat all enemy officers that weren't defeated yet. Once He Jin is the only one left, defeat him. That will bring Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong in the scene, and Dong Zhuo will become the enemy commander. Defeat Dong Zhuo. After defeating Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu will appear. Once you defeat Lu Bu and all enemy officers, the Yellow Turbans long live!!! 9. Items A. Harnesses Harnesses allow you to ride on a certain horse on the start of a stage. Here are how to get each harness. RED HARE HARNESS Stage: Battle of Xia Pi Side: Lu Bu's Forces Effect: Allows you to ride Red Hare on the start of a stage How to get: Do not defeat any officers or sub-officers. Killing enemy soldiers is okay. Do not go near Guan Yu. Eventually Chen Gong will say "Red Hare must not fall into the hands of Guan Yu!" Allow Guan Yu to take Red Hare, and then defeat Guan Yu. The item box is a red box on the little island where Red Hare was. Failures: If you defeat any officers before Guan Yu gets Red Hare, he will not go to Red Hare. Also if you defeat any officers after Guan Yu rides on Red Hare, you may not get the item. HEX MARK HARNESS Stage: Campaign Against Liu Bei Side: Yellow Turbans (Musou Mode only) Effect: Allows you to ride Hex Mark Horse on the start of a stage How to get: This harness must be gotten in Yellow Turbans Musou mode. In Act - I: The Han is dead! select and clear The Yellow Turban Fortress first. Then in Campaign Against Liu Bei, defeat Guan Yu and Zhao Yun before Jian Yong's and Wei Yan's reinforcements arrive. The item box is a red box on the little island at the southeast. Failures: If you don't do The Yellow Turban Fortress first, you won't be able to reach the island because Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao will not dam the water with a rock and therefore the island can't be reached. STORM HARNESS Stage: Campaign Against Cao Cao Side: Lu Bu's Forces Effect: Allows you to ride Storm Runner on the start of a stage How to get: Defeat Cao Zhang to trigger Xu Huang's ambush, and when Chen Gong says "There may be more ambush parties. We should search the area." go south of the battlement Xiahou Yuan is in from the south and you'll discover Yue Jin's ambush party. When Xiahou Dun appears defeat Xiahou Dun. The item box is a red box behind Cao Cao in Guan Du castle next to a pot. Failures: I have not found a way to discover Xu Huang's ambush party because in my experience, defeating Cao Zhang triggers Xu Huang to ambush you. SHADOW HARNESS Stage: Battle of Tong Gate Side: Liu Bei's Forces Effect: Allows you to ride Shadow Runner on the start of a stage and also, with this equipped, you cannot fall off any horse or elephant How to get: Cheng Yi must be alive and Han Sui must not defect. To prevent Han Sui's defection, defeat Xu Huang when he crosses the Wei Shui river before Han Sui begins battle with him. Then ride a horse onto the land section where Cao Cao is at the start of the stage. Then lower Cao Cao's morale to make it that Ma Chao's morale is four stars higher than Cao Cao's. You should eventually get a scene where the Shu officers see horses and try to capture them. The item box is somewhere on the southeast section. Failures: If Cheng Yi is dead, or Han Sui defects, you won't be able to get the item box. Also if you trigger the Ice Fortress scene within one minute of starting the stage, chances are that you won't get the horse scene. ELEPHANT HARNESS Stage: The Nanman Campaign Side: Nanman Forces Effect: Allows you to ride on an elephant on the start of a stage How to get: Ride an elephant onto Zhuge Liang's main camp. The item box is in the inner building of the Nanman's main camp. Failures: If you set foot onto Zhuge Liang's main camp without riding on an elephant, you won't get the item box. B. Orbs Orbs are a new feature to Dynasty Warriors 4. Each orb has a special effect. The maximum level for an orb is level 4. Also, unless you have a Level 10 weapon, orbs are only triggered by having a full Musou bar. Orbs can only be used through a charge attack.

Stage: Campaign Against Sun Jian Side: Dong Zhuo's Forces How to get: Defeat four of these five: Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, Sun Shang Xiang, Gan Ning, Sun Ce after entering Jian Ye in less than 10 minutes. A supply unit will appear at the left gate in front of Jian Ye castle and makes it way south. Failures: If you fail to enter the castle in less than 10 minutes, you won't get the item. Also, make sure that you kill the supply captain before it goes through the gate or else you won't get the item. Survival Guide: Effect: Multiplies attack power by 2 when near death. Stage: The Two Qiaos Side: Sun Jian's Forces How to get: Rescue the two Qiaos and have them meet up. The item box is a red box that appears near the Xiao Shi bridge at the middle path. Failures: None, I think. Some say that you have to rescue Da Qiao first, then Xiao Qiao, but I resuced Xiao Qiao and then Da Qiao and I still got the item to appear. Bodyguard Manual Effect: Bodyguards become more powerful. Stage: Guan Yu's Escape Side: Liu Bei's Forces How to get: Have Xiahou Dun catch up to you after the fifth gate. Failures: If you have Xiahou Dun catch up to you before the fifth gate, then you won't get the weapon. Also it's best for you to use Guan Yu, because it's only to win that both Guan Yu and the carriage reach the Yellow River. Way of the Musou Effect: Can use the True Musou attack even when not near death. Stage: Guan Yu's Escape Side: Cao Cao's Forces How to get: Go to the fifth gate and a supply unit will show up at the gate near the fourth gate and make his way backwards. Follow the supply unit and defeat the supply captain. Failures: When I mean 'gate near the fourth gate' I mean a gate that you would normally find a gate captain. If the supply captain leaves through another gate, you won't get it. Power Scroll Effect: Never lose in a weapon deadlock. Stage: The Yellow Turban Fortress Side: Yellow Turbans How to get: Defeat Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. A supply unit will show up at the gate near the top of the left path, and make its way up and then down to the right path. Follow the supply unit and defeat the supply captain. Failures: None, unless the supply unit goes through the gate. Wind Scroll Effect: Weapon range increases. Stage: Battle of Xu Chang Side: Shu Forces How to get: Defeat Cao Hong and protect Yue Ying so that the siege ramp is set up. Then go to the supply depot and defeat Xu Zhu. The item box is a red box somewhere on the very top path left of Xu Chang Castle. Failures: If either the siege ramp is destroyed, Yue Ying is defeated, or the supply depot is down, you won't get the item. Fire Arrows Effect: Can use fire arrows for bow attacks. Stage: Unification of Jing Side: Sun Jian's Forces How to get: Defeat Zhou Xin first before the enemy officers launch a joint attack. A supply unit will show up from Liu Biao's castle and make its way to the gate north of Yan Baihu's fort. Defeat the supply captain. Failures: If you don't defeat Zhou Xin first, you won't get the item, and if the supply unit does make its way, you won't get the item. Charge Bracer Effect: Withstand attacks when using a charge attack. Stage: Campaign Against Sun Jian Side: Yuan Shao's Forces How to get: Enter Jian Ye castle in less that 10 minutes. A supply unit will appear at the left gate right in front of the castle, and make its way down to the gate south. Defeat the supply captain. Failures: If you don't enter Jian Ye castle in less than 10 minutes, the supply unit won't show up. As usual, defeat the supply captain before it goes to the gate. D. Item Hunting There are three ways to go item hunting for great items at great levels (usually). Here they are. Battle of Wu Zhang Plains Side: Shu Forces Defeat all officers except for Cao Cao. Then save and quit before you find the following item boxes. 1. It's at a dead end cliff to the left of Zhuge Liang's camp building. 2. From Zhuge Liang's camp, make a right at the lowest right path. When you have to turn upwards, at the area where you have to turn, find a box containing an item box. 3. When entering the gate where Xiahou Yuan charges out, just hug the right cliff wall and you'll find a lone box with an item box in it. 4. It's near Zhang He's initial starting position. 5. It's a box behind Cao Cao's position, but not right in front of the enemy gate. If you are not satisfied with the boxes, do a soft reset (press Start and Select at the same time) and then search for the boxes again. Battle of Jie Ting Side: Shu Forces Reduce Sima Yi's health to almost death. Then save and quit. Then continue the game and defeat both Jia Kui and Xu Huang. If you are not satisfied with the items, do a soft reset (press Start and Select at the same time) until the items are good for you. Battle of Yi Ling Side: Wu Forces Defeat Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Guan Suo, Wang Ping, and Ma Dai. Note that you should save before swiping an item box dropped by them. Zhang Bao is a sub- officer under Wei Yan, Guan Xing is a sub-officer under Yue Ying, and Guan Suo is a sub-officer under Huang Zhong. Wang Ping and Ma Dai can be found in the Shu's main camp. 10.

SHU Liu Bei Weapon: Gold Moon Dragon Attack Power: +52 Stage: Battle of Ru Nan Side: Liu Bei's Forces How to get: The entire process must be done in less than seven minutes. Wait one minute until Zhao Yun arrives (his arrival is unannounced, pay attention to a light blue dot to the right of the map) and then meet up with him to see a scene in which Zhao Yun swears his allegiance with Liu Bei.

You'll know his location when you cross one of the bridges to either the very left or very right because a message will say "Liu Chan, Liu Bei's infant son, is still inside the central fortress." and Liu Chan's location will be marked on the History when you press Start. He will be in a red box. Break the box WHILE ON A HORSE to see a scene where Zhang Fei takes Liu Chan from a lady (I believe the lady is one of Liu Bei's wives).

He'll retreat, signifying the thwart of the plot of chaining the ships. Then head to Zhuge Liang's position and defeat Zhuge Liang before he summons the wind to thwart his plan to summon the wind. Then when you get the message that Huang Gai is mobilizing his shi, defeat Gan Ning and Lu Meng before Huang Gai's unit shows up. Then defeat Huang Gai when he shows up before he uses the fire attack to thwart the fire attack. Tips: If you need a horse, play in Free Mode and when Guan Yu shows up, steal his Red Hare. Hehehe. Note that you don't need to defeat Guan Yu. Oh yeah, defeating Pang Tong is _not_ necessary.

Then wait until Guan Yu meets up with Liu Bei and they will retreat. At this point, Bai Ma and Yan Jin Castles will be flooded by enemies. Allow both castles to fall by waiting until Yu Jin and Man Chong are defeated. Then when the ram units appear, Cheng Yu will then say "The enemy has placed their supply depot at Wu Chao." and then Cao Cao will say "We must take Wu Chao to win this battle. I will go. Protect my flank." Guard Cao Cao and defeat any enemy soldiers on his way. Cao Cao will go on the right path that splits into a circular path and then through Bai Ma Castle and then to Wu Chao. Enter Wu Chao supply depot AFTER Cao Cao enters it. Then defeat Chunyu Qiong. When the rams destroy the castle walls, defeat Lu Wei Kuang. Tips: You MUST NOT enter Wu Chao supply depot until after Cao Cao enters it, or else you won't get the weapon. Also, you MUST NOT defeat Lu Wei Kuang until all of the castle walls are destroyed.

Then defeat some enemy soldiers and then go to the room one down of the room with the Escape Point and stand next to the closed door. When you get two messages with the same message "The flames are preventing any further advance!" you will see a scene where Cao Cao says "Curses! We are trapped!" and then Dian Wei breaks through the wall. Tips: If you don't stand next to the closed door, Xu Zhu will break it. Xu Zhu must NOT break the door. Xu Zhu Weapon: Stone Crusher Attack Power: +59 Stage: Battle of Tong Gate Side: Cao Cao's Forces How to get: Defeat Ma Chao's sub-officers Ma Dai and Pang De, and then when Jia Xu says that the only enemy officers of threat are Han Sui and Ma Chao, Cao Cao will go and see Han Sui. After you see a scene where Cao Cao sees Han Sui, defeat Han Sui's sub-officers Hou Xuan, Li Kan, and Yang Qiu, and defeat lots of Han Sui's soldiers to lower Han Sui's morale, and then wait for Han Sui to defect. Tips: At any time before you get the scene where Cao Cao meets Han Sui, DO NOT go near any of Han Sui's troops or else you won't get the weapon. But you MAY wish to defeat other enemy officers. Wei Yan and Meng Da should be around. Cao Ren Weapon: Roc Attack Power: +56 Stage: The Siege of Fan Castle Side: Wei Forces How to get: Destroy ALL siege weapons (siege ramps and catapults) before they do manage to bring down a part of Fan Castle (for catapults) or bridge to the walls of Fan Castle (for siege ramps). When Lu Meng advances, defeat him. Tips: The hard part is destroying the siege weapons. You can use a high- leveled Horned Helmet and a high-leveled Tiger Amulet along with a Shadow Runner to destroy the ramps, as they are your biggest threats. The one to the south goes to the west gate, and the one to the north goes to the west gate. Since you start at the southeast section, take out the south ramp first, then the north one. Totally ignore enemy officers. Zhen Ji Weapon: Dark Moon Flute Attack Power: +51 Stage: Battle of Chang Ban Side: Cao Cao's Forces How to get: Defeat Zhao Yun in a duel (he always challenges you to a duel). Wait for Liu Bei to cross the small bridge on the very right, and when Zhang Fei does his yell, defeat him in a duel.

Also, make sure Liu Bei crosses the bridge on the very right or else Zhang Fei won't do his yell and you won't duel him. Zhang Fei will duel you after his yell. Sima Yi Weapon: Dark Feather Attack Power: +50 Stage: Battle of Wu Zhang Plains Side: Wei Forces How to get: Defeat Zhang Yi, then Wei Yan, then Guan Xing, and then Ma Chao. Make sure you kill Zhang Yi before Wei Yan, because if you defeat Wei Yan first, then Zhang Yi will make a retreat for it. And also defeat Guan Xing before Ma Chao, because if you defeat Ma Chao first, then Guan Xing will retreat. When Zhuge Liang does his fake death scheme, Sima Yi will order a full attack charge. Zhang Liao Weapon: Gold Wyvern Attack Power: +56 Stage: Battle of Hu Lao Gate Side: Lu Bu's Forces (Musou Mode only) How to get: This must be done in Lu Bu's Musou Mode only.

Approach Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei and when a soldier says that enemy units have infiltrated Luo Yang and setting fires, you'll see a scene where Luo Yang is burned down. After the scene, defeat Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei in any order. Tips: If you don't select Battle of Si Shui Gate first and defeat Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, there will be no fire attack in Battle of Hu Lao Gate. To trigger the fire attack, approach Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei. And it's odd how Zhang Liao is the only one whose weapon is gained in an 'Other' kingdom, yet he serves a major kingdom. Zhang He Weapon: Phoenix Talon Attack Power: +52 Stage: Battle of Jie Ting Side: Wei Forces How to get: Surround Ma Su's camp, and defeat Ma Su's three sub-officers (Wang Ping, Liao Hua, and Gao Xiang). When Ma Su attacks, defeat him. When enemy reinforcements arrive, defeat Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Yue Ying. Tips: Zhang He's level ten weapon has a glitch. When you do the method to get it, you won't get a message that you have the weapon.

WU Sun Jian Weapon: Savage Tiger Attack Power: +54 Stage: The Imperial Seal Side: Sun Jian's Forces How to get: Do not destroy 50 crates yet.

Then without letting Guan Yu escape, defeat all enemy officers, including sub-officers, Liu Feng, and Meng Da. Zhang Fei must be defeated last.

You MUST defeat them to get Lu Meng's tenth weapon. Sun Ce Weapon: Overlord Attack Power: +54 Stage: Unification of Jiang Dong Side: Wu Forces How to get: Defeat Liang Gang and then let Zhou Yu be defeated so that Liu Xun can take the supply depot.

Lu Xun Weapon: Falcon Attack Power: +52 Stage: Battle of Yi Ling Side: Wu Forces How to get: Ensure the success of the fire attack at the Shu camp by either destroying all watchtowers or guarding Zhu Ran when he makes it to the target when the watchtowers find Zhu Ran. Then clear the Stone Sentinel Maze in less than three minutes. Tips: The easiest way to clear the Stone Sentinel Maze is by having a Red Hare Harness and then making a right at the start of the maze (left on the map) and then following the path and when it turns left (down on the map), just keep on going straight (down on the map). When just you reach the exit, a stone blocks your way. To get past it, while on the Red Hare, hold L1 and hold down until you hear the stone going down, then the minute you hear it going down, use Red Hare's speed and go past it. Note that you can stand on top of the stone! Then you can drop to the exit! Taishi Ci Weapon: Tiger Slayer Attack Power: Stage: Campaign For The Wu Territory Side: Sun Jian's Forces How to get: A horse harness is most likely needed here. Use your best harness horse you have. When you approach Zhang Ying's sub-officer Yu Mi, Yu Mi will retreat inside Niu Zhu.

Gan Ning Weapon: Sea Master Attack Power: +56 Stage: Battle of Xia Kou Side: Sun Jian's Forces How to get: Note that Ling Cao and Ling Tong must both survive the battle until you get the weapon. Approach Huang Zu's camp without defeating Deng Long and Chen Jiu and Huang Zu will retreat in his ships. Ling Cao will then being a pursuit to Huang Zu. Defeat Su Fei before taking out Gan Ning (in Free Mode) or Chen Sheng (in Musou Mode after unlocking Gan Ning). While fighting Su Fei and Gan Ning, Huang Zu's flagship should habe been moving. When Huang Zu's flagship docks, Zhou Yu will say "Those frigates are carrying gunpowder. If we could set fire to them, it will give us the advantage." The gunpowder is at the north ship that didn't move yet. When you find the gunpowder keg pot, hit it with your weapon and the ship will be on fire and move to Huang Zu's flagship. Before it crashes and sets fire to the flagship, defeat Deng Long, Chen Jiu, Cai Mao, and Zhang Hu. Tips: The most frustrating part is Ling Tong not showing up. People recommend to get Gan Ning's level ten weapon in Wu Musou Mode because they believe Ling Tong appears in Musou Mode more often than in Free Mode. Also, in Wu Musou Mode if you clear Defense of Nanman before playing Battle of Xia Kou, Ling Tong will always show up in Battle of Xia Kou, with Nanman elephants. Xiao Qiao Weapon: Qiao Grace Attack Power +50 Stage: Battle of Cheng Du Side: Wu Forces How to get: Find Guan Yu's and Guan Ping's ambush parties and defeat them before Ma Chao appears in Luo Castle.

Also if you defeat all enemy soldiers and officers and you still didn't get the weapon message, wander around. You probably missed ambush parties. There are four ambush parties. Diao Chan Weapon: Diva Attack Power: +51 Stage: Battle of Si Shui Gate Side: Dong Zhuo's Forces How to get: Do not defeat any enemy officers (defeating normal enemy soldiers is okay) until Sun Jian's messenger does its job and Hua Xiong is defeated. Then defeat two of the following: Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian. Tips: When Hua Xiong is defeated, Li Jue will say four phrases to prepare retreat until he actually says "Si Shui Gate is lost!

Then defeat Cao Zhang, Man Chong, and Xiahou Dun in any order. Tips: If the siege ramp is destroyed, you won't be able to get Zhu Rong's level ten weapon. However, defeating Cao Hong prevents the siege ramp from being destroyed. Zhang Jiao Weapon: Volcano Staff Attack Power: +52 Stage: The Yellow Turban Rebellion Side: Yellow Turbans How to get: Both Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang must survive.

The amount of kills, the number of bodyguards they survive, and the bonus points they get add up to one level. At the start you can only use two bodyguards but as their level progress you can use more bodyguards. B. Bodyguard Ranks As I said before each bodyguard has a rank.

Dim Sum Snacks and Fairy Wines Dim Sum Snacks increase your health bar by 10 points and the increase is permanent. The increase will eventually stop when the HP bar is at its max. Fairy Wines increase your Musou bar by 10 points and the increase is permanenet. The increase will eventually stop when the Musou Bar is at its max. Thanks to Muni Shinobu's professional skills at this game, he has helped to locate the Dim Sum Snacks and Fairy Wines in each stage. Take note that sometimes Dim Sum Snacks or Fairy Wines will not appear in a few stages. The location of a Dim Sum Snack or Fairy Wine is always the same, regardless of which side you're playing on, but very rarely, some Dim Sum Snacks can only be gotten in Musou Mode by clearing another stage or only found in Free Mode. ------- Yi Ling ------- Battle of Yi Ling Dim Sum Snack 1. In the Stone Sentinel Maze, second column from the left (on the map), fourth tile from the top, that's where the Dim Sum Snack is. Fairy Wine 1. Allow Lu Xun's fire attack to succeed. Then when Zhuge Liang appears, he'll create a waterway through an island. That same island has the Fairy Wine, so if the fire attack fails, Zhuge Liang won't appear, and therefore the Fairy Wine cannot be gotten. The Campaign For Jing Dim Sum Snack 1. It's at the south dead end near Wu Ling (where Jin Xuan is). Fairy Wine 1. It's just outside the south wall of Gui Yang (where Zhao Fan is). Unification of Jing Dim Sum Snack Doesn't appear in this stage. Fairy Wine Doesn't appear in this stage. --------------- Wu Zhang Plains --------------- Battle of Jie Ting Dim Sum Snack 1.

Battle of Chi Bi: The Fire Attack The fire attack in Battle of Chi Bi determines for Shu, Wei, and Wu what acts they will have for Act V and Final Act. Actually, it's the success or failure of Zhuge Liang's wind summon that determines the act for Act V and Final Act. Also for Wei, stopping all three ploys in Battle of Chi Bi (Pang Tong's ship chaining, Zhuge Liang's wind summon, and Huang Gai's fire attack) is vital to get Wei's fourth ending. Shu: Zhuge Liang's Wind Summon succeeds: Act V: The Fall of Wei and Final Act: The Fall of Wu Zhuge Liang's Wind Summon fails: Act V: The Fall of Wu and Final Act: The Fall of Wei Wei: Zhuge Liang's Wind Summon succeeds: Act V: The Fall of Shu and Final Act: The Fall of Wu Zhuge Liang's Wind Summon fails: Act V: The Fall of Wu and Final Act: The Fall of Shu Wu: Zhuge Liang's Wind Summon succeeds: Act V: The Fall of Shu and Final Act: The Fall of Wei Zhuge Liang's Wind Summon fails: Act V: The Fall of Wei and Final Act: The Fall of Shu Here is how to ensure the success of the wind summon for Shu and Wu and how to prevent the wind summon for Wei. Shu: When Yue Jin ambushes Zhuge Liang, defeat Yue Jin and Li Dian. Then wait and eventually you'll see a scene where Zhuge Liang says "There is no magic here. I know the southeast wind will blow on this day." Wu: Make sure that the enemies don't reach the stair steps of Zhuge Liang's altar or else the prayer will be a failure. The best way is to defeat Yue Jin (this time he will not ambush Zhuge Liang). Wei: To prevent Zhuge Liang's wind summon, just defeat Zhuge Liang before he does summon the wind. 15. Campaign for Cheng Du: Liu Zhang's Surrender In Campaign For Cheng Du for Liu Bei's Forces, you can make Liu Zhang surrender to effectively win the stage. This event is also needed to get the fourth ending for Shu. Here is how you do it. Here are the unit information for both Liu Bei's Forces and Liu Zhang's Forces. Liu Bei's Forces VS Liu Zhang's Forces Liu Bei COMMANDER Liu Zhang UNIT INFO Liu Bei's Forces Liu Zhang's Forces ---------------- ------------------ Liu Bei Liu Xun -Liu Feng -Yan Yan Zhuge Liang -Lei Tong Pang Tong (Note) -Wu Lan Zhang Fei -Fei Guan Random Shu officer Liu Han Random Shu officer -Zhang Yi *Guan Ping (Note) Deng Xian -Leng Bao Li Yan *Yang Huai (Note) *Gao Pei (Note) *Ma Chao OR Pang De *Ma Dai *Liu Zhang Note: Pang Tong will only appear if he survives in Battle of Luo Castle. Guan Ping will only appear if you lure Li Yan into his ambush. Yang Huai and Gao Pei will not appear if you defeated them in Battle of Luo Castle. Note that the first phase of the entire process must be done WITHOUT any of Liu Bei's soldiers approach Cheng Du, where Liu Xun is. If this happens, Liu Zhang will show up, and if he shows up, you won't be able to have him surrender. Phase 1 -First, you MUST capture Li Yan. He'll always challenge you to a duel, but if you want to have Liu Zhang surrender, you will have to swallow your pride for once and decline. Zhuge Liang will eventually "Ambush parties have been positioned southeast of Mian Zhu. Lure Li Yan's unit in that direction." Mian Zhu, in case you haven't noticed, is the whole bamboo forest. Lure Li Yan to the southeast corner of the forest (just near the entrance to Mian Zhu from Luo Castle's west gate). He'll pursue you when he insults you for being a coward. When he goes near the southeast corner of the forest, Guan Ping should ambush him. After he's ambushed, defeat Li Yan. -Next, you'll have to go south and engage all enemy officers there. That includes the enemy sub-officers. Leng Bao, Zhang Yi, Deng Xian, and Liu Han should be there. Defeat them all. -After defeating the enemy officers at the south, you'll have to defeat all of Liu Xun's sub-officers in the forest. I'll give you some easy directions. At the start from Luo Castle's west gate, go north according to the map and you'll find Fei Guan near an enemy gate. Defeat Fei Guan. From there, go west according to the map until you find Lei Tong. Defeat Lei Tong. Now, go south from Lei Tong's position according to the map and you should find Wu Lan. Defeat him. Then still go south until you reach the most bottom horizontal route in the forest and then go west at the horizontal route and you should find Yan Yan. Defeat him. Phase 2 -If you did all of Phase 1 correctly, you should get a message saying "It appears that Liu Zhang is considering surrender!" That signifies that you have done it. Now if you fear that you may screw up, you may save. Now, approach Liu Xun's position at Cheng Du. This will trigger enemy reinforcements. Ma Dai will appear behind Luo Castle, Yang Huai and Gao Pei will appear at the southeast section of the map, and either Ma Chao or Pang De will appear. Note that if you have defeated Yang Huai and Gao Pei in Battle of Luo Castle, they will not appear. -If Ma Chao appears, do NOT engage him way too early. If you defeat him that fast, Liu Zhang will appear. But that's only in a duel. If you decline the duel with him, then you'll take a bit of time fighting him. But your first priority is to defeat Ma Dai. -Your biggest priority, though, is to ensure the survival of Guan Ping. Ma Chao or Pang De depending on who appears will make his way to Luo Castle at the bottom horizontal route at Mian Zhu. If Guan Ping is defeated, Liu Zhang will show up. After defeating Ma Dai, quickly defeat Ma Chao or Pang De. -After you defeat everyone (including Liu Xun) Liu Zhang will surrender and you'll get a message saying "It appears that Liu Zhang will surrender!" and a scene where Liu Zhang gives up and gives his lands to Liu Bei and leaves. 16. Getting the Red Hare Harness The Red Hare Harness is a popularly requested item for Dynasty Warriors 4 players, and there's a good reason for this. The Red Hare is the fastest horse in not only the game, but history itself. However, getting the Red Hare Harness can be hard. To get the Red Hare Harness, you must play Battle of Xia Pi as Lu Bu's Forces. RED HARE HARNESS Stage: Battle of Xia Pi Side: Lu Bu's Forces Effect: Allows you to ride Red Hare on the start of a stage How to get: Do not defeat any officers or sub-officers. Killing enemy soldiers is okay. Do not go near Guan Yu. Eventually Chen Gong will say "Red Hare must not fall into the hands of Guan Yu!" Allow Guan Yu to take Red Hare, and then defeat Guan Yu. The item box is a red box on the little island where Red Hare was. Failures: If you defeat any officers before Guan Yu gets Red Hare, he will not go to Red Hare. Also if you defeat any officers after Guan Yu rides on Red Hare, you may not get the item. First off, you must NOT defeat any enemy officers (including sub-officers). Killing normal soldiers is okay, but never defeat enemy officers or sub- officers. Wait until a while and then Chen Gong will say "Red Hare must not fall into the hands of Guan Yu!" Do not go near Guan Yu. He's a sub-officer under Liu Bei. When Guan Yu finds the Red Hare stranded on a small island, he'll ride it. Still, do not defeat any other enemy officers yet. You will then have to defeat Guan Yu. Be careful, though. He has been pumped up to Hu Lao Gate-ish Lu Bu-like levels, and also, since you can't defeat any enemy officers, Lu Bu may be in trouble and may be defeated. Once you defeat Guan Yu, you'll get a message saying "A valuable item has been discovered!" The item is in a red box back at the small island where Red Hare used to be before it was taken. 17. Getting the Shadow Harness The Shadow Harness is probably one of the little hard items to get. The Shadow Harness allows you to ride a black horse without falling off when you're hit while mounted, and also, when you equip this, enemies will be unable to knock you off a horse or an elephant. To get the Shadow Harness, you must play Battle of Tong Gate as Liu Bei's Forces. SHADOW HARNESS Stage: Battle of Tong Gate Side: Liu Bei's Forces Effect: Allows you to ride Shadow Runner on the start of a stage and also, with this equipped, you cannot fall off any horse or elephant How to get: Cheng Yi must be alive and Han Sui must not defect. To prevent Han Sui's defection, defeat Xu Huang when he crosses the Wei Shui river before Han Sui begins battle with him. Then ride a horse onto the land section where Cao Cao is at the start of the stage. Then lower Cao Cao's morale to make it that Ma Chao's morale is four stars higher than Cao Cao's. You should eventually get a scene where the Shu officers see horses and try to capture them. The item box is somewhere to the right edge of the southeast section, in a small alcove-like piece of land. Failures: If Cheng Yi is dead, or Han Sui defects, you won't be able to get the item box. Also if you trigger the Ice Fortress scene within one minute of starting the stage, chances are that you won't get the horse scene. First off, defeat any enemy officer to the southeast section except Cao Ren, and do not approach the Ice Fortress yet. Once you defeat an enemy officer, Xu Huang and Cao Cao will lay a bridge to the northwest section, and Han Sui should now be advancing to survey Cao Cao's forces. If Han Sui battles with Xu Huang before Cao Cao meets up with him, you may actually still be able to prevent his defection. Just lower Cao Cao's morale down so Han Sui's morale is higher than Cao Cao's. But try to defeat Xu Huang ASAP before he begins battle with Han Sui. Then go back to the southeast section and defeat all enemy officers there, including Cao Ren. Now lower Cao Cao's morale down by defeating a lot of his soldiers, and defeat Xu Zhu (who always challenges you to a duel) and Jia Xu. They're both sub-officers of Cao Cao. If the northwest Shu gate hasn't been sealed, and none of Han Sui's sub-officers have been defeated, and Cao Cao's morale is less than Han Sui's or you defeated Xu Huang before Han Sui begins battle with him, then Han Sui shouldn't defect to Cao Cao's forces. If he does defect to Cao Cao's forces, then you won't be able to get the Shadow Harness. Then you must trigger the scene where your soldiers see some horses and try to capture them. To trigger this, make sure Cheng Yi (NOT Cheng Yin) is still alive, and Ma Chao's morale is 4 stars higher than Cao Cao's morale. You should then be able to trigger the scene, and therefore, without Han Sui defecting, get the Shadow Harness in a box located to the right edge of the southeast section. 18. The Nanman Campaign The Nanman Campaign is arguably the hardest stage in Dynasty Warriors 4 for the Shu or Wu Forces. You need to defeat Meng Huo seven times, and your obstacles are a climate that lowers your army's overall morale, elephants, poisonous swamps, and almost never-ending troops that come out. However, Clement Chong, a Dynasty Warriors 4 GameFAQs Message Board member, managed to find a very easy way to beat The Nanman Campaign. Here is the unit info for the Shu Forces, Wu Forces, and Nanman Forces. The Nanman Campaign Region: Nan Zhong --- Shu Forces Wu Forces VS Nanman Forces Zhuge Liang Lu Xun COMMANDER Meng Huo UNIT INFO Shu Forces Wu Forces Nanman Forces ---------- --------- ------------- Zhuge Liang Lu Xun Meng Huo (Note) -Random Shu officer -Random Wu officer -Meng You (Note) -Guan Suo -Zhu Huan -Mang Yachang Random Shu officer Random Wu officer -Dailai Dongzhu -Wang Ping -Ling Tong Zhu Rong -Zhang Yi -Quan Zong Wu Tugu *Ahui Nan (Note) *Ahui Nan (Note) King Mulu *Dong Tu Ne (Note) *Dong Tu Ne King Duosi *Ma Dai (Note) *Xu Sheng (Note) Jinhuan Sanjie *-Ma Su (Note) *-Zhuge Jin (Note) Dong Tu Ne *-Lu Kai (Note) *-Sun Shao (Note) Ahui Nan *Yang Feng (Note) *Yang Feng (Note) Yong Kai -Gao Ding -Zhu Bao Note: Meng Huo will make 7 appearances, but once you enter the Nanman base, Meng Huo will skip his first 6 appearances and just teleport to the base. Meng You will appear 2 times. Defeat Meng You once and when Meng Huo appears for the fourth time, Meng You will also make his second appearance. To get Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne to defect to Shu or Wu, defeat three enemy officers without defeating Meng Huo for the first time. Ma Dai will only appear if Zhuge Liang is attacked by the Nanman troops. Xu Sheng will only appear if Lu Xun is attacked by the Nanman Troops. Yang Feng will defect to Shu when you defeat Meng Huo when he appears for the fourth time. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Meng Huo. Defeat-(Shu) Zhuge Liang is defeated. / (Wu) Lu Xun is defeated.(Note) Note: (Shu) If you are using Liu Bei, then Liu Bei will be commander and Defeat will change to Liu Bei is defeated. / (Wu) If you are using Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, or Sun Shang Xiang, the Sun sibling you chose will be commander and Defeat will change to Sun Jian/Sun Ce/Sun Quan/Sun Shang Xiang is defeated. 19. Battle of Chang Jiang The Wu Tales stage Battle of Chang Jiang is one of the hardest stages in Dynasty Warriors 4, second only to The Nanman Campaign for the Shu and Wu Forces. Dong Zhuo returns and holds his threats to raid a Wu supply depot near the Chang Jiang River in Chi Bi, and to make matters worse he's somehow managed to ally with the Nanman troops, so yes, Meng Huo and Zhu Rong WILL appear to attack. But Sun Jian won't say no, and neither will you, so Sun Jian's forces have come to defeat Dong Zhuo once and for all. Here is the unit info for the Wu Forces and Dong Zhuo's forces. Battle of Chang Jiang Region: Chi Bi --- Wu Forces VS Dong Zhuo's Forces Sun Jian COMMANDER Dong Zhuo UNIT INFO Wu Forces Dong Zhuo's Forces --------- ------------------ Sun Jian Dong Zhuo Xu Sheng Li Jue Ling Tong Guo Si *Sun Ce Li Ru *Sun Quan Dong Min Li Su *Meng Huo *Zhu Rong OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat all enemy officers. Defeat-Sun Jian is defeated, or more than 11 supply units are destroyed. A harness is your best friend here, _especially_ the Red Hare or Shadow Harnesses. To start off, you should be in between the supply ship and the supply depot, and you should find some enemy soldiers on... elephants? Wow, since when did Dong Zhuo get those already? I found an easy way to beat this stage. First, defeat the enemy troops in the middle. After clearing the middle portion of enemies, go south. Ignore Li Jue and Guo Si. Head to where Dong Zhuo is. Now quickly defeat Dong Zhuo. This will nullify the massive enemy Nanman reinforcements from appearing to attack the supply units. Now quickly defeat all enemy officers. You should first defeat Li Jue and Guo Si, as they are closest to you. Then help Xu Sheng and defeat Li Ru, Dong Min, and Li Su. Once all enemy officers on the map are defeated, Meng Huo and Zhu Rong will appear as enemy reinforcements. Quickly defeat them. With this strategy, Zhou Tai, and a Shadow Harness, I just only lost like 2 or 3 supply captains. 20. Getting Yue Ying's Level Ten Weapon Yue Ying's final weapon, Oblivion, is known arguably to be the hardest of all Level Ten weapons to get. It's not because the requirements are difficult, but, it's because the stage is set in The Nanman Campaign for Shu Forces, and Zhuge Liang will most likely die if something wrong happens. However, Clement Chong has found an easy way to get Yue Ying's final weapon, Oblivion, and completing the stage at the same time. Here is the unit information for The Nanman Campaign Shu Forces. The Nanman Campaign Region: Nan Zhong Bonus: If you clear this stage before playing Battle of Fan Castle, Nanman armor troops will appear when playing Battle of Fan Castle. If you clear this stage and then in Battle of Yi Ling Lu Xun's fire attack succeeds, Meng Huo will appear as a Shu reinforcement officer. --- Shu Forces VS Nanman Forces Zhuge Liang COMMANDER Meng Huo UNIT INFO Shu Forces Nanman Forces ---------- ------------- Zhuge Liang Meng Huo (Note) -Random Shu officer -Meng You (Note) -Guan Suo -Mang Yachang Random Shu officer -Dailai Dongzhu -Wang Ping Zhu Rong -Zhang Yi Wu Tugu *Ahui Nan (Note) King Mulu *Dong Tu Ne (Note) King Duosi *Ma Dai (Note) Jinhuan Sanjie *-Ma Su (Note) Dong Tu Ne *-Lu Kai (Note) Ahui Nan *Yang Feng (Note) Yong Kai -Gao Ding -Zhu Bao *Yang Feng Note: Meng Huo will make 7 appearances, but once you enter the Nanman base, Meng Huo will skip all 7 appearances and just teleport to the base. Meng You will appear 2 times. Defeat Meng You once and when Meng Huo appears for the fourth time, Meng You will also make his second appearance. To get Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne to defect to Shu, defeat three enemy officers without defeating Meng Huo for the first time. Ma Dai will only appear if Zhuge Liang is attacked by the Nanman troops. Yang Feng will defect to Shu when you defeat Meng Huo when he appears for the fourth time. OBJECTIVES: Victory-Defeat Meng Huo. Defeat-Zhuge Liang is defeated. (Note) Note: If you are using Liu Bei, then Liu Bei will be commander and Defeat will change to Liu Bei is defeated. TIME LIMIT: 90'00'00 To start off, Yong Kai and his two sub-officers, Gao Ding and Zhu Bao, will march towards the camp. Do NOT defeat Yong Kai, but defeat Gao Ding and Zhu Bao. If Yong Kai is defeated, Meng Huo will raid the Shu camp, and you do not want this to happen just yet. Also, if Zhuge Liang's forces defeat Yong Kai, Zhuge Liang will get a morale boost. After defeating Yong Kai's two sub- officers, go east and defeat Jinhuan Sanjie. This will cause Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne to defect, if you haven't beat Meng Huo for the first time yet (which you do not want to do just yet). Now, you will want to lower Meng Huo's morale a bit. Defeat Meng Huo's first two sub-officers, Meng You, and Mang Yachang. Once you defeat them, Meng Huo's morale will drop down 2 or more stars. Now, you should have triggered the scene where Nanman elephant troops attack you, and also by now the Nanman territory's climate will affect Shu morale time and then. Both will lower your morale. Now go to Zhu Rong's position and she'll always duel you. Defeat her in a duel. That will help raise Shu morale. Now defeat King Mulu first. Then circle to the east and approach King Duosi. Doing so will trigger Yang Feng's arrival. Ignore Yang Feng. Just defeat King Duosi. Now, here is the next requirement for Yue Ying's Oblivion. Approach Wu Tugu, and Zhuge Liang will prepare the fire attack on Wu Tugu's armor troops. Retreat back to Zhuge Liang. Now, use this time to defeat lots of Meng Huo's soldiers quickly until Meng Huo's unit morale drops down to zero. Once Wu Tugu's forces are wiped out by the fire attack, defeat Meng Huo all six times. Note that YOU must make the defeat on each Meng Huo, and also, you MUST defeat him in a duel once. Also, once you defeat Meng Huo for the fourth time, Yang Feng will defect. That is yet another requirement to get Yue Ying's tenth weapon. Once you defeat Meng Huo for the sixth time with Wu Tugu defeated by the fire, and all three defectors defect, you should get it. 21. Conclusion Phew! My FAQ is done now.
