Huang Gai, Taishi Ci, and Gan Ning when they arrive. It will appear above
the Place Prayers in the southwestern part of the map. You can kill them in
any order, however killing Lu Meng first is recommended as he will kill Diao
Chan if you give him the chance. Also, if using two players use a maxed Diao
Chan with her fifth weapon (to assure that her death does not happen).
Hint:
Lu Bu: Silver costume: Use the following trick to obtain Lu Bu's third costume, from Dynasty
Tactics. Clear all seven Musous (other character). Make sure your
original Dynasty Warriors 3 saved game file is loaded. Set the game
on the very hard difficulty setting. Enter free mode on Chi Bi, Dong Zhuo's
side, using anyone except for Lu Bu. A silver costumed Lu Bu will appear,
from Dynasty Tactics. Defeat Lu Bu and Diao Chan to unlock Lu Bu's Dynasty
Tactics costume, a special Chi Bi stage, and a new song. To get the
Special Chi Bi stage, choose it with L2 or R2, but you have to

press Left or Right to select the gray Lu Bu. When the stage
starts, the special version of Lu Bu will appear. After you clear the stage
with the special Lu Bu, Lu Bu's third costume will be unlocked at the
character selection screen when you press L2 or R2.
To get Lu Bu's extra costume
and extra music easier, first, have a character with a steel type weapon
(Cao Cao) for this stage. Equip Way of Musou, Pickock Ern, Survival Guide,
Tiger Amulet and Tortoise Amulet. When you enter battle, go directly to Lu
Bu and on the fifth normal attack, press Triangle. When Cao Cao
starts to attack press Triangle as he swings so he causes more damage
and kills the regular men in one stroke. After that save and quit so you can
restart at that point you saved if you die. Go to Diao Chan and use this

charge attack and gives Musou +68, Life +70, Bow Attack +52, and Mounted
Attack +55, play on The Battle At He Fei level as Wu forces under the very
hard difficulty setting. To make it appear, prevent Taishi Ci's death event
by killing Zhang Liao. He is a sub-general but his usual location is near
Taishi Cim which is northwest of your starting position. Also defeat Xu Zhu.

where Cao Cao is located. The Heavenly Wolf appears in the southwest by an
Imperial Seal (Musou full for ten seconds).

Musou +82, Life +82, Reach +22, Musou Charge +20, and has the Way of the

and gate captains. Note: You do not have to kill sub-generals.
Hint:
Xu Huang: Fifth weapon: Select the very hard difficulty setting and the Tong Gate level.
Kill every leader, except Han Sui or Ma Cho. Han Sui will defect, and the
weapon will appear near the northwest corner, near the gate.
Hint:
Yuan Shao: Fifth weapon: When at Hu Lao Gate under the very hard difficulty setting in two
player mode, kill the officer (Jia Xu) near the top of the screen with one
player. This will trigger an event with backup troops appearing faster. When
Jia Xu dies, go directly down to Diao Chan and start fighting her. If you
wait, Cao Cao or Sun Jian will die. You should have her about half or two
thirds killed when the troops show up, so Sun Jian should not die. Yuan
Shao's fifth weapon, the Imperial Saber, will appear. Its stats are:
Element: Flame, Basic Attack +44, Speed +21, Attack +27, Defense +54, and
Arrow Defense +49.
To get the Imperial Saber

+21, Attack +27, Defense +54, Bow Defense +49, play on the Battle at Hu Lao
Gate level as Yuan Shao's forces under the very hard difficulty setting. To
make it appear, kill Diao Chan before the Dong Zhou ambush event with Liu
Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Lu Bu all alive. It is not likely anyone will
kill Lu Bu while you are defeating Diao Chan; only worry about the others.
It is recommended that you do not kill Lu Bu because it is a waste of time
and you are also putting yourself in danger. The weapon will appear in the
northwest area.
Hint:
Zhao Yun: Fifth weapon: To get the War Dragon, which has lightning on its fifth and sixth
charge attack and gives Musou +78, Life +75, Reach +25, and Musou Charge
+20, play the Nanman Campaign as the Shu forces under the very hard
difficulty setting. To make it appear, defeat all enemy generals. Note: You
do not have to kill sub-generals or Meng Huo all seven times. However, it is
suggested to defeat him the first time as he will kill Zhuge Liang if you
give him the chance. It will appear next to the wall south of the Shu
headquarters, between the two bridges.
Hint:
Zhuge Liang: Fifth weapon: To get the Griffin Feather weapon, which has Wind on his second
and last charge attack and gives Speed +22, Life +80, Attack +30, Luck +22,
and Reach +25, play on the Battle At Chi Bi level as the Shu forces under
the very hard difficulty setting. To make it appear, have either the first
or second player get 1,000 kills. It is recommended that you use anyone with
instant death when doing this. However, your best choices would be Lu Xun or
Sun Quan, as they both have instant death on their fourth charge attack,
which is better than someone having it on their last charge attacks (such as
Cao Cao).
Hint:
7 Stars Sword: Get over 1000 combo points in the Combo Mania Xtreme Challenge.
This item helps you get combos easier by having the numbers disappear
slower.
Hint:

Demon challenge. The Beast Harness allows you to see the last horse/elephant
you rode on in the radar.

record for Combo Mania (1000 combos). Suggested characters to attempt this
with are Zang He, Nu Wa, or Zuan Yu.
Hint:
Divine Gauntlet: Play as Dong Zhuo, on Dong Zhuo's side, in the Wu Zhang Plains
level under at least the hard difficulty setting. Move upwards and keep
fighting until you get to the bridge at the very top. Around there, an
intermission sequence will appear featuring Dong Zhuo standing and looking
up at the sky. He sees shooting stars and says something about
"them" all dying. After awhile, a supply unit should appear on the
plateau where Lui Bei and Zhuge Liang are located. Kill them quickly,
because they move directly for the gate at the bottom left part of the map.
Defeat the Supply Captain and he should drop a red glowing bag. The Divine
Gauntlet lets you deal damage to a blocking enemy, but you must have the
Attack x2 item in effect.
Hint:
Fire arrows: Play the Chi Bi level as Cao Cao's forces under the hard
difficulty setting. Play as Xu Huang and defeat everyone until you are at
the end boat. Do not kill Sun Jian but defeat Ma Su. The second player has
to defeat Huang Gai after the wind has blown. It should appear in the long
line of boats at the very end of that line.
Hint:
Magic Drum: Play the Nanman level as Zhang Jiao under the very hard
difficulty setting. Wait for Zhuge Liang's ambush party to appear. An
intermission sequence featuring Zhuge will begin. Defeat Zhuge; do not worry
about any of his other officers. The Magic Drum will appear close to the
southern-most bridge on top of a small hill. This item raises how quickly
your forces gain their morale.
Hint:
Masters Cloak: Beat Lu Bu's top score for the Balancing Act (100). This item
automatically performs the mid-air evade.
Hint:
Scroll Of Accuracy: Play the Battle Of Mt. Ding Jun level under the hard or very hard
difficulty setting as Dong's forces. Kill the following people in order:
Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, then Huand Zhong (who is carrying the item). This item
provides Attack x2, but your defense will drop.
To get the Scroll of Accuracy,
which doubles your attack and decreases your defense for a few seconds after
being knocked down, play as Dong Zhuo's forces on Mt. Ding Jun under any
difficulty setting. Defeat Huang Zhong, who will drop the item.
Hint:
Seal Of Darkness: Play the Battle Of Guan Du level. Go to the castle and take out
all the officers in the castle. Pause game play to make sure that the
officer you kill does not have an officer as a bodyguard. After killing all
of the officers, go in the castle. An intermission of you saying "Cao
Cao where have you ran now" should play. Once again, make sure all the
officers are killed before the intermission sequence. After about fifteen to
twenty seconds, the "A valuable item has been discovered" message
will appear to the north, next to where Cao Cao can be found in one small
area. Note: This is best done with Yuan Shao in Musou mode, under any
difficulty setting.
Hint:
Body guards automatically restore HP one time when zero: In order to get this item, complete the Iron man Competition with
a score over 351 (Zhou Yun recommended) You must complete the Speed Demon,
Balancing Act, and Combo Mania competitions. These must be done in the Iron
Man competition. The best way to do this is to get Red Hare in the Speed
Demon (turn left and look) and rack up the points in the Balancing Act. If
you get 100 KOs, you receive 100 points. Keep going past the 100 maximum.
Finally, use his combo charge 3, then charge 2, then charge 5, then charge
6, tyen finish with a short Musou (and keep them in the air) in the Combo
Mania. Once these three are done and you top the invulnerable Lu Bu, your
will receive the item.
Hint:
Longer Musou attack: To do the double Musou attack in one player mode, your bodyguard
has to have full Musou. To tell if he has his Musou bar full, look at your
Musou bar. If it is flashing green, it indicates that you and your bodyguard
have full Musou. Go near your bodyguard and press Circle. It should
show your character and his bodyguard back to back and performing a true
Musou attack. This attack is the equivalent of two people doing a true Musou
x2 attack at the same time.
To activate a powerful Musou
attack, set the game to the very hard difficulty setting. Choose Pang Tong,
Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Zhang Jiao, Meng Huo, or Xu Zhu. Choose any level. You cannot
have bodyguards, warrior or normal. When you start the level, get your lives
down to the red, and push Circle so your Musou goes up faster. When
you get all your Musou up, get in a crowd and hold Circle. Your
character will then get a powerful and long lasting Musou.
Hint:
Get every player on Musou mode: To get every player on Musou mode, you need to load data from
your Dynasty Warriors 3 game. Every time you complete a level in free
mode with a character that is not currently in Musou mode, you will get that
character in Musou mode. For example, if you complete Siege At Hei Fe Castle
with Liu Biu, you will get him in Musou mode.
Glitch:
Xu Zhu on ground: Put Xu Zhu as the general for the elephant scene. He will be on
the ground hitting people with his club, instead of being on an elephant.
