Play The Battle Of Jian Ye level under the hard difficulty
setting with Liu Bei's forces. You must play with Huang Zhong and defeat the
officers with Huang Zhong. First, do not defeat any of the fake Sun Jians
(that appear in four different places). Defeat Huang Gai, Taishi Ci, or Zhou

attack and SST attack will have a fire element); Tiger Amulet 15+;
Tortoise Amulet 15 +; Huang's Bow 15+
Orb: Level 3 Ice Orb recommended.
Harness: Shadow Hare recommended
Hint:
Jiang Wei:
Play the Shu Musou mode as any character. Play the last level for
every act until you get to the Battle Of Tian Shui level. Wait for Zhuge
Liang to reveal his plan. Then, kill Jiang Wei's sub officers. Later in the
level, Jiang Wei will surrender to you. Do not kill Jiang Wei. Finish the
level.
Alternately, play in Musou mode
with Zhuge Liang. Then, kill Lu Bu in a duel under the hard difficulty
setting.
Hint:
Jiang Wei: Level 10 weapon:
Play the Battle of Tian Shui on Musou mode. To unlock this area,
play the Shu Musou mode and skip to the Battle of Chi Bi on Act 3; do not
play the battle of Bo Wan Po. Allow the enemy to spoil all of your ploys
(Pang Tong's ploy, Zhuge Liang's calling of the wind and Huang Gai's fire
attack). After all of your ploys fail, finish the battle of Chi Bi and play
through the rest of the Musou mode normally. The Battle of Tian Shui will
appear before the final act. When the Battle of Tian Shui begins, run
quickly to the right side of Ji Castle. Kill the Guard Captain there to open
the gate. Step inside to activate an enemy ambush. Then, run back around to
the southern gate on Ji Castle. Kill the Guard Captain there. Once again,
run inside to activate an enemy ambush. Run inside and kill Cao Ren and his
two Sub-Generals. You have to do this before Cao Ren decides to charge out
and attack Zhuge Liang. At this point, it would be a good idea to eliminate
all enemy troops that are not inside Tian Shui Castle, including all
Officers and Gate Captains. Zhuge Liang gets in trouble very easily on this
map, and the enemy morale stays high throughout. Once that is done, kill the
Guard Captain on the left side of Tian Shui Castle to open the gates. Just
like in Ji Castle, run in to activate an enemy ambush. Then, move back out
and around to the southern gate. Kill the Guard Captain there. Run inside to
activate one more ambush. Run in and kill Yin Shang and Liang Xu. You then
recieve Jiang Wei's level 10 weapon, Blink. Note: This map only gives you
thirty minutes to finish; you must act quickly.
Hint:
Jiang Wei: Unlimited combo:
Use Jiang Wei's jump attack (Square(2) to a double stab in
the air). Go to any enemy officer or soldier then do that attack and keep
repeating this process. You will get an unlimited combo from Jiang Wei. Note
you can only hit one person with this attack. The best way to practice it is
to go to challenge mode (Bridge Battle). Knock out all troops out of the
bridge until one one weak soldier remains, then practice it on him.
Hint:
Liu Bei: Level 10 weapon:
In the Battle of Ru Nan under the hard difficulty setting, meet
with Zhao Yun after he appears on the map (about ten to twenty seconds into
the game at the bottom right horizontal path). After the Zhao Yun swears
allegiance event, defeat Li Dian, and join with Zhang Fei. At the Xiahou
Yuan appearance, defeat Xiahou Yuan before Guan Yu appears (about 4:30 to
5:30 into the game), defeat Yu Jin, defeat Xu Chu. At the Xiahou Dun
appearance, defeat Xiahou Dun, defeat Zhang He, and defeat Yue Jin. Note:
Other than defeating Li Dian after meeting with Zhao Yun and defeating
Xiahou Yuan before Guan Yu appears, all other enemy generals can be defeated
in any order.

(Edit Officers included). In the Battle of Hu Lao Gate level, locate and
defeat Lu Bu. You will unlock Lu Bu and his Musou Mode story. Note: You also

not indicate whether you unlocked him or not.

Cao forces Destroy the carriage that will make Yaun Shu appear as a ally for
Lu Bu. Do not kill Diao Chan, but make all Lu Bu's men surrender and kill
the general at the top, because he will not surrender. After all that is
done, Lu Bu will retreat with Diao Chan. Then, go to Guan Du and Lu Bu will
appear. He mostly appears when you destroy the Wen Chou compound. Note: If
you kill Lu Bu, Yuan Shoa's morale will drop massively, allowing you easy
victory.
Hint:
Lu Bu: Level 10 weapon:
Play the Lu Bu Rebellion level. Clear the entire stage of every
enemy so that only Dong Zhuo remains alive. Be sure to kill every general
and sub-general yourself. Lu Bu will earn his Level 10 weapon. Note: If the
weapon does not appear after only Dong Zhuo is alive, move around the map
awhile. There may still be ambush troops you did not encounter.
Hint:
Lu Bu: Unlimited combo:
Equip Lu Bu with the Lightning Orb. Having his level 10 weapon
makes this easier. Go to an officer and use Lu Bu's second charge attack
where he swings his halberd around. The lightning will hit the officer into
the air and you can continue hitting him. Make sure you hit him before he
lands on the ground or his body will disappear. You have to do this on an
officer that does not have a death intermission sequence or a Gate Captain.
It is possible to get a 100+ combo by doing this.
Hint:
Lu Bu: Lightning Shower:
To use this special attack, have a full Musou bar and Lightning
Orb equipped. You must have his level 10 weapon (Square Sky Halberd). Go to
a group of enemies that consists of at least 15 soldiers under the hard

the north wall, then the one at the south wall. Liao Hua will return with
additional troops. Destroy them, including the Sub-General in the group.
Return to the castle and kill Guan Ping. This causes Guan Yu to attempt an
escape. This is why the two Gate Captains had to be killed; he will try to
escape to one of them if they are not sealed. Kill the northern-most Gate
Captain. Guan Yu will change direction and head for the southern-most Gate
Captain. Once both of those are shut off, go back into the castle and an
ambush troop will appear. Destroy them. Zhang Fei should appear soon, if not
already. Eliminate all Generals and Sub-Generals (besides Guan Yu). Kill
Zhang Fei and you should then receive the White Tiger. Finish the level.

Hint:
Xia Pi: Defeating Lu Bu:
During the course of the game, begin running south along the
outside of the castle. You will run into Lu Bu's officer, who will challenge
you to a duel. Accept or deny; either way, he is not difficult to defeat as
long as you assure that you get the first hit. Start by pressing the Analog-stick
Up, then prepare to use either a normal attack, or a Triangle
attack. Continue to hit him and follow his movements as you hit him. Try not
to let up on him for any longer than a second. After you defeat him,
continue moving around the map, killing all the Generals. Once you are at
the top left section of the map and have defeated the Generals around the
screen, you will see a sequence that reveals that the water level is playing
havoc on the force's advances. Note: If you play Cao Cao while doing this
adventure, you have to assure that he is near the large bolder next to the
river on the north end of the stream. You will have to wait until one of the
officers says "Use the boulders to block the water", then walk to
the boulder. Cao Cao will leap onto it and demand that the forces charge in.
From there, either go the long way, and race towards the southeastern
section of the map (resembles a donut on the map), or cut through the castle
to get there. When you arrive, defeat the small group of men, then run
across the exposed section of land to the Red Hare horse. After you
"rescue" the Red Hare, race into the castle and join your other
officers. Do not go directly to Lu Bu. Pass the massive clump of men that he
is pounding on, and head to his sister, Diao Chan. For Cao Cao, she is an
easy defeat. Beat her up and let her sequence of running off injured play
out. After that, you will be warned that Lu Bu is angry over her defeat.
Shortly after that, the General that was near her gives up because he thinks
Lu Bu has no "peace" on his mind, and that all he sees is the
battlefield. The sequence will play out, and he will tell Cao Cao to
"Bind me, I am no longer needed here". Make sure your life meter
is full and go after Lu Bu. Be careful, and let your other Generals have a
piece of him as well. Through the massive horde of men, keep hitting Lu Bu
from behind if possible. If you meter begins to show red, run. Do not stop;
just keep running. Chances are he is directly behind you, and he can move.
Go to the other side of the river that runs through the castle. Defeat the
small enemies and search for bottles and boxes. They may be difficult to
find, but they are there. Get a full meter and return. Repeat the same
thing. Attack him from behind if possible. When the meter gets red, run.
Make sure you leave jars and boxes at the strongholds so you can collect
them. The battle will continue endlessly until he has no men left, and has
no choice but to go by himself and secure the strongholds outside of the
castle. You have lots of time. Repeat this and you will eventually get him.
However, he is not dead yet.

your two castles/forts to fall to Yuan Shao's forces. Cao Cao will retreat
into his castle. The enemy supply depot will be spotted and Cao Cao will
charge up the right side path to attack it. Cover him while he moves. The
castle walls should soon be destroyed by the rams. Then at the supply depot,

first, then Guan Yu. This will prevent Liu Bei from escaping. Ride north and
defeat Zhuge Liang. The "Zhen Ji earns her level 10 weapon"
message will appear.
Hint:
Zhou Tai: Level 10 weapon:
To get Zhou Tai's weapon, Dusk, play under the hard difficulty
setting. Zhou Tai must have the weapon Dawn, at level 9. Go to the Nanman
Campaign, and play on the Wu Forces. Using the Red Hare for this is
recommended. Ride down and kill Wu Tugu, then get into Meng Huo's castle
before Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne defect to the Wu side.
Hint:
Zhou Tai: Over 100-hit combo:
Select Zhou Tai from the Wu forces and play the Battle Of Chang
Ban level in free mode. Equip Zhou Tai with the Way Of Musou and a harness,
preferably the Shadow Harness. Go through the level to clear the path for
Liu Bei. Either path will do, but do not kill Cao Cao. Make sure to kill all
the main officers (except Cao Cao), even the reinforcements, to ensure Liu
Bei's safety. When you reach a bridge, a message will appear stating,
"Liu Chan, Liu Bei's infant son, is still inside the central
fortress!". Find and retrieve the son, which is in a red valuable item
box. After the story line, get the item and you will have unlimited Musou
for sixty seconds. Go to a group of enemies or just one and hold Circle
until the Musou runs out. Keep it on one enemy and a numerous combo will

Hint:
Zhou Yu: Level 10 weapon:
Play the Battle For Fan Castle level. At 10:20.00 into the
battle, the enemy Supply Team will appear at the top right corner of the map
and move towards the castle's right entrance. Defeat the Supply Team Captain
before the Supply Team reaches the castle. Zhou Yu will earn his Level 10
Weapon.
This weapon can be obtained in
the Siege of Fan Castle on the Wu side. Note: If you try to get Zhou Yu's
level 10 weapon without taking care of Wu's siege weapons, Lu Meng will come
forward and get killed by Cao Ren's all out charge. However, if you have an
already powered up Lu Meng, choose him as player two and equip him with a
Shadow Saddle, level 15 Horned Helm, Tiger Amulet, Tortoise Amulet, and
Elixir. You need two good bodyguard teams, one for each player. Make them
wait at Lu Meng's camp entrance. Play fast, as you have ten minutes to kill
the generals and Zhen Ji's entire side. While doing this, Wei must have
destroyed all your siege weapons and charged. After you clear Zhen Ji's
area, make Zhou Yu wait there until the Supply Team Captain comes up. Kill
him, and once you get the level 10 weapon message, switch to Lu Meng and go
for Cao Ren. Cao Ren is weak against mount attacks. Keep moving and bounding
him until he dies.
Instead of building up Lu Meng
to keep him alive during Fan Castle, use this trick to keep him alive
manually. First, it is obvious that you need Zhou Yu's level 9 weapon and
have him at maximum rank, but, you can can do this trick without touching Lu
Meng before (meaning having completely default stats). First, have Zhou Yu
as player one, then press Start on controller two and choose Lu Meng
for the second player. He should be equipped with any Peacock or Tortoise
items, and a Shadow Harness is recomended. At the begining of the level,
wait for Cao Ren to charge, then make Lu Meng go next to the bridge on the
northern river (by the pots and boxes). Have him wait there and switch to
Zhou Yu. Have Zhou Yu fend off troops for awhile, untill the Wei forces
start to shift northward (towards Meng). Have Meng ride down to Fan Castle's
eastern bridge. The troops should be gone from that bridge by now. With Lu
Meng safe once again, Zhou Yu should be free to kill the Supply Captain and
acquire the Ancients Sword. Now, it is time to slaughter Cao Ren.
Hint:
Zhu Rong: Level 10 weapon:
Play the Battle Of Xu Chang level under the hard difficulty
setting. Join the Nanman side. Defeat Man Chong, then to to Cao Hong. Defeat
him and fight off the other soldiers while you wait for the siege ramp to be
set up. After that, defeat Xiahou Dun. Then, go back over to the supply
depot and kill Cao Zhang. Finish the level with her level 9 Magma Wheel and
you will get the level 10 Inferno.
Hint:
Zhuge Liang: Level 10 weapon:
First, clear the Battle Of Jie Ting level, then choose the Battle
Of Wu Zhang Plains level. Go to the left path and approach Zhang He. After
the consecutive arrow vehicle event, defeat Zhang He. Approach the enemy
base, and start the enrage Sima Yi event. A Supply Troop appearance message
will appear. Backtrack and defeat Xiahou Dun to protect the Supply Troop.
The "Supply Troop broke through battle lines and reached the ally
base" message will appear. Note: This weapon can only be earned in
Musou Mode. If you do not clear the Battle Of Jie Ting level first, there
will be no Supply Troop appearance.
Hint:
Edit Officer: Drive spear through an enemy:
Use a spear officer Edit Officer with spear one. Attack four
times then continuously press Triangle. If you do not kill the enemy
or they do not recover, you will do your Ariel charge, stab your spear
through their chest. Depending on who you are fighting and your weapon and
attack strength, you could kill them. This almost never works with Lu Bu,
even in easy mode.
Hint:
Art of War Scroll:
Follow the exact procedure to get the Charge Bracer, but with
Dong Zhou's campaign at the Campaign against Sun Jian. Kill the generals

sub-officer there. Keep going north, kill the sub-officer guarding the gate
so it opens, enter, and notice that there is no one there. The supply team
should appear south of the castle and start running south (through the path
in which you killed Lu meng). Kill the Supply Captain to get the item.
Hint:

kill any enemy officers. You can kill peons, it is recommended that you not
do this until you have gotten the item. Let Guan Yu find the Red Hare, then
defeat Guan Yu. He has high attack and high defense. To do this easier, play
in two player mode. Use the second player to defend Lu Bu. When Guan Yu
finds the Red Hare, go and kill him. This way you do not have to worry about
Lu Bu dying.

Play the Battle At Tong Gate level as the Shu forces. First,
defeat the four generals in the bottom right corner, then defeat Xu Huang's
sub-officer and then Xu Huang. Defeat Cao Cao's two sub-generals, then wait

morale is one star. Wait for both of the following things to happen: an
intermission sequence showing some of Cao Cao's men finding lots of horses;
and Han Sui declining defection where he says "Ma Chao is like a son to
me". The special item will then appear near the bottom right enemy Gate
Captain.
Hint:
Shadow Rider Saddle: Never get knocked off:
If you start any level on the Shadow Rider and get onto another
animal (horse or elephant), you will not get knocked off, no matter what.
This means that you could knock Lu Bu or Guan Yu off the Red Hare you could
ride and not get knocked off.
Hint:
Storm Saddle:

the generals on the right side of the screen (near the circle object). Get

other generals when you get the item, and focus on the Carriage. It is
somewhat easy to defeat.
Hint:

9 Holy Avenger.
Hint:
Edit level 9 weapons:
If you train up an edit character so they have a level 9 weapon
then create another person (with the same type of weapon, but not the same
one), you will have a level 9 weapon to start with.
Hint:
Orbs:
You do not have to do anything special in order to get an Orb.
They appear randomly.
For the Orb element to take
effect, you must have a full Musuo bar. If your character has a level 10
weapon, then a full Musuo bar is not required.
Orb powers will only work if
you have your Musou full, unless you have your fourth weapon/level 10 weapon
that has Jade attack (which will use the orb every time you do a charge
attack).
Hint:
Orb recommendations:
Shu: Lightning Orb because of
their long ranged weapon that will not steal the experience.
Wu: Fire Orb Because of their
costumes and beam that comes appears from their hand when you press Triangle
on some character.
Wei: Vorpal Orb because of
their short ranged weapon.
Lu Bu: Lightning or Fire Orb
because of their strong damage attack.
Dong Zhou: Any Orb because
Dong Zhou is a very slow player.
Yuan Shao: Wind Orb to gain
more experience for them and strong wind effect.
Nanman: Poison Orb when
playing Nanman campaign on Nanman side so you can bring poison from the
river to them.
Yellow Turban: Any Orb.
Hint:
Electric Orbs:
Electric Orbs are one of the worst Orbs. They give a lot of
damage, but there is a 75% chance that the Orb will steal the points that
the player gives you (weapon and regular), if the last attack was a T attack
that is affected by an Orb.
Hint:
Vorpal Orb:
Play the Battle Of Cheng Du, Battle Of Xu Chang, and Battle Of
Jian Ye levels as any force under the hard difficulty setting with Xu Zhu
without a Hare. You also cannot ride any horse. Kill every soldier and
General, including sub-Generals, in each and every stage. You should get the
orb at the last stage as one of the items. Note this does not always work.
Hint:

Zhang Plains levels as any force under the hard difficulty setting with Dong
Zhou without a Hare. You also cannot ride any horse. Kill every soldier and
General, including sub-Generals, in each and every stage. You should get the
Orb at the last stage as one of the items. Note: This does not always work,
but you can get a level 4 Orb.
Equip the Fire Orb on an Edit
Officer and attack an enemey three times. Then, press Triangle. You
will stab the enemy several times then throw him, creating an arch of flame.
This will work with any orb but looks best with the Fire Orb.
Hint:
Finding hidden items:
Spend a few minutes riding around the battlefield, destroying
pots that are in sight. Some power-ups are in areas you would never expect,
such as location where there are no enemies.
Hint:
Eliminate Zhang Jiao level:
To get a new level in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, play Musou
Mode with Shu. Be any character, and do the Yellow Turban Rebellion first.
Kill Zhang Jiao and make that the only general you defeat. After you finish
the level, it will say Shu Tales. It is called Eliminate Zhang Jiao.

in Shu Act 1. It does not matter who you kill -- just make sure you kill the
leader.Then, skip the second level. You pretty much get the same result.

message stating "Lie Bei's infant son is still in the central
fortress" will appear. Press Start and go to "History"
to find the exact location of Liu Bei's son. This is not required, but it
helps. Go to the point were the history said the baby was located. The baby
is in a decorative box. When you pick up the baby, your Musuo bar will be
full for sixty seconds. It also helps to have a horse or be Gan Ning when
you get the baby; or your full Musuo will be wasted on a few troops of
soldiers.

Play as Cao Cao's force. Wei Yan will be at the bottom left. He

officers at the top. However, do not go close to Wei Yan or fight him. After
awhile, Sima Yi will offer him the chance to defect and he will accept.
Hint:
Battle Of Cheng Du level: Get Liu Zhang to surrender:
Note: Do not exit out of the forest at the start, as Liu Zhang

the guard captain that is near him. You should get a message that Liu Zhang
is considering surrender. Go ahead and Kill Liu Xun. Approaching him will
trigger enemy reinforcements. Do not defeat Pang De or Ma Chao, depending if
you' ae playing Musou or Free mode. If they challenge you to a duel, ignore
them. Go back and kill Yang Huai, Geo Pei, and Ma Dai. When everyone is
defeated, go ahead and kill Pang De/Ma Chao. You will get a message stating
that Liu Zhang will surrender.
Hint:
Battle Of Cheng Du level: Getting Ma Chao:
Play the level as the Shu forces in Musou mode. Fight some
enemies and wait for Zhuge Liang to say that they can lure Jiang Wei and
some other general. Defeat more enemies and start getting closer to Jiang
Wei. Jiang Wei will soon say that Zhuge Liang is a devious man. Zhuge Liang
will say "Kill all the generals under Jiang Wei so he will be
isolated.". Kill the two generals under Jiang Wei. Someone on Jiang
Wei's side will say "Jiang Wei, you traitor! The enemy is not attacking
you!" Jiang Wei will argue and say that he is not on the Shu side and
that it is an enemy ploy. Find and kill Jiang Wei. Then, go after the main
person in the castle on the left. Defeat more enemies and get closer to him.
Ma Chao will arrive in the castle very near. Kill Ma Chao and complete the
level to unlock him.

Zhang Plains level on the Wei side under the hard difficulty setting. There
are a few items in crates. Their locations are as follows: top left near
gate, middle path, top middle where Cao Cao appears, and on the left-hand
side of the Shu fort. Look for single crates. The rest of the items appear
with a supply team (group of wooden oxen on wheels that start around Ma
Chao's original position heading down the south path towards the bottom left
gate). Defeat Jiang Wei and they should appear, but you have to be fast.
Note: Have Luck equipped. You should have Seven Star Sash at least level 14
and Hex Mark. You do not have to be on horseback to activate Luck.

Xu Zhu appears, he will bring Cao Cao srtonghold. It will be non-stop;
advance slowly and protect Sun Jian while doing so. You will get about 800
to 1000 kills. If you do this and kill lots of Generals, 12,000 points will

side, where the non-stop stronghold is in Luo Castle (top where Ma Su is
located), and in Jian Ye (bottom of map where Sun Jian is found).

Play as Xiao Qiao and equip the Red Hair Harness. When you enter
the Stone Sentinel Maze, after the figures start to move up and down you can
ride over them. When one starts to rise, move directly towards it. When it

Lu Bu and Diao Chan and let Dong Zhuo escape.
Hint:
Hu Lao Gate level: Hidden items:
There is a Life Bar on the top of the Hu Lao gate. Use the stairs
behind the gate to walk up. There is Musou Up on the other side of the gate
from the Life Bar.
Hint:
Hu Lao Gate level:
When Lu Bu comes out, get his attention. Bring him towards other
officers on your team. Defeat him, then take his horse and quickly go to
Yuan Shou. Hux Iang from Si Shui Gate comes to kill Yuan Shou. Protect Yuan
Shou, then wait and Dong Zhou's forces will retreat.
Hint:
Hu Lao Gate level: Defeating Lu Bu:
Choose Gan Ning. Go to Hu Lao Gate approach Lu Bu. He will
challenge you to a duel. Accept the challenge. Let Lu Bu hit you or charge
your Musou. Lure him into a corner or pin him on the wall. Use your Musou.
His life will drop quickly. Note: Make sure Gan Ning is strong. Do the same
to defeat Gan Ning in a duel.
Use a character whose first
charge is shooting out elemental orbs (for example, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei,
Pang Tong, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, and Da Qiao). Then,
get their fourth weapons and equip a Blast Orb (level 2 or above
recommended). When you get in a duel with Lu Bu, keep tapping Triangle
and his life will slowly drain to nothing. Note: this method will let you
win any duel.
To defeat Lu Bu,you need any
character at maximum rank; a level 9 weapon; the following equipment at
these levels: Peacock Urn, Tiger Amulet, Tortoise Amulet, Dragon Amulet
(optional), and Speed Scroll (optional); and level 20 bodyguards with pikes,
spears, or crossbows (only because it is guard piercing). You can defeat Lu
Bu or anyone else with this on any level. Make sure the bodyguards are
always on the sword icons. Wait until the bodyguards surround Lu Bu then hit
him in the back (or in any unguarded spot), then unleash an all-out attack
on him.
Hint:
Hu Lao Gate level: Easy five secret costumes:
Play the Hu Lao Gate level on Han side under any difficult
setting in free or musou mode. At the begining of the level, go to the first
gate and encounter a gate captain (Guo Si, Li Ru, or Zhang Liao). Defeat the
gate captain's officer and the gate captain himself. The gate will open.
Note: You must defeat the gate captain's officer before him, or he will run
away, Otherwise, defeat all enemy entry port but this is not necessary.
Follow the rules to unlock the costumes easier then defeat these generals in
any order: Lu Bu, Diao Chan, Li Jue, and Dong Zhou (you can still let him
escape). If this does not work the first time, try it again. It mostly works
when your character's weapon is at level 2 or higher.
Hint:

alone.
Hint:
Lu Bu Rebellion level: More weapon experience:
Play the level under the easy difficulty setting (when your
weapon is below level 5) or the hard difficulty setting (when your weapon is
above level 5). Do this fifteen times or more and you will have your weapon
at level 9.
Hint:
Lu Bu Rebellion level: Easy experience:
Play the level under the hard difficulty setting as Lu Bu's
forces. Defeat every enemy general and sub general to gain one to three
levels.
Hint:
Mt. Ding Jun level: Hidden items:
There is a Life Bar is in the top area where Huang Zhong is
located. There is a Musou Bar in the pot near the statues when traveling.
At the beginning of the level,
turn directly around. There will be a wooden fence surrounding a couple of
little huts. Enter the fenced area and run to the right rear-most corner
from the point where you entered. Break the barrel closest to the back wall
to discover a Musou +10. To find a Life +10, take Mt. Ding Jun and enter the
gate after defeating Han Hao. Continue running down the path until you see a
Gate Captain in a small path to the left. The barrels on the left side of
the gate contain the Life+10.
Hint:
Nanman Campaign level: Hidden items:
There is a Life Up is in the poison swamp near King Mulu. There
is a Musou Up is in the straight land leading to Dong Tu Ne and Ahui Nan in
a pot on the left; the path under Jihuan Sanjie.
Hint:
Nanman Campaign level: Easy completion:
When the level starts, kill Zhu Bao, Gao Ding, and Yong Kai. In
other words, kill Yong Kai's two sub Generals and Yong Kai in that order.
After doing so, Dong Tu Ne and Ahui Nan will defect. Get a horse nearby or
equip a saddle. Immediately ride or run to Meng Huo's castle. Defeat Wu Tugu
or King Mulu to get the gate to open. Go in the castle. Meng Huo will appear
immediately and you can kill him there. Note: When fighting Meng Huo,
massive reinforcements will arrive and Gate Captains will appear every ten
minutes. Lu Xun or Zhuge Liang will be struggling in battle. Be careful,
because Zhu Rong will also march to kill your main commander. If you go into
the castle, a 1000 kill possibility can happen.
Hint:
Nanman Campaign level: Getting the Elephant Saddle:
On the Nanman Campaign level on the Nanman side have any player
be Meng Huo and the other player be a maxed out character (Lu Bu or an Edit
Character with the Fu Xi weapon on level 10 recommended). Have the player
controlling Meng Huo follow his troops who have elephants. Have the other
player protect the Meng Huo player, then kill any enemy soldier or general.

located past the wall guarding the secret path to the Grand Generals Fort to
the south. The Life +10 is located in the southern part of the supply fort
in the north.
Hint:
The Two Qiaos level: Easy completion:
After rescuing Xiao Qiao, quickly rescue Da Qiao. Then, meet up
with Sun Ce. Once all three are following you, go south. However, go over to
the east side of the map, through the gate. When Dong Zhuo's troops arrive,
they will hunt for you. If you try to meet them down the center, you will
lose, as you will be overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. You might survive,
but odds are that you will be defeated. Going to either side causes them to
split up, making it easier for you to survive. You will not have to deal
with five to officers, their sub-officers (if any), and their troops. A
fully decked general is recommended. Equipment should include: Red Hare
Saddle (to move quickly), Charge Bracer, Peacock Urn, Tiger Amulet, and
Vorpal Orb.
Hint:
The Two Qiaos level: Fighting Dong Zhuo's Army:
If you want to fight Dong Zhuo's entire army but have problems
with the Qiaos dying, get a second player (or control player two by
yourself). Have player two collect both Qiaos, and then have player one
attack some of Niou Fu's troops so that they will stop following player two.
Let player one be found before Dong Zhuo's army splits, then seal a gate in
a far-off corner with player two. Wait there and fight the army using player
one. The Qiaos will be safe because everyone will be following player one.
Hint:
Xia Kou level: Make Gan Ning weak:
Go to Xia Kou and wait until Zhou Yu talks about the gunpowder on
Huang Zu's northern ship. Break the burning pot so that his ship will be on
fire. Leave the ship. Gan Ning and Su Fei will get on the burning ship. The
ship will move and hit the other ship, causing a fire. Gan Ning and Su Fei
will appear. Gan Ning should be very weak by now.
Hint:
Xu Chang level for Wu side:
Play in Musou mode under the Wu side. You may play as any
character. Play all levels in any way desired. When you get to Act 3, play
The Battle of Chi Bi level. You must make sure Zhuge Liang wind prayer, Pang
Tong ploy, and Huang Gai's setting the ship on fire are all succesful. If
done correctly, the final level of the final act will be Xu Chang.
Hint:
Yellow Turban Fortress level: Orb:
Play the Yellow Turban Fortress level on the Han side. Once you
start, there will be two forts (left and right). Go to the left fort and
defeat the officer outside the gate to get the gate open. Once inside, go to
the bottom left corner. A crate should be there, near a fence. Open it, and
an item that should be an Orb will appear. To help you get these Orbs
easier, equip the Seven Star Luck.
Hint:
Yellow Turban Menace level: Hidden items:
There is a Life Up on the top left squared area near Zhang Liang
with flame geysers. The pot stands by itself. There is a Musou Up in the top
right squared area the opposite of where the life up is located. The pot
stands alone.
Hint:
Yellow Turban Menace level: Persistent opponents:
You will find Huang Gai and Guan Hai fighting outside of a gate
on the lower middle portion of the map. These two characters will always be
fighting when you go to them. If you notice, Huang Gai is Guan Hai with the
G and the H switched. The G at the end of Huang is also removed.
Hint:
Yellow Turban Rebellion level: Hidden items:
There is a Life Up near Zhang Jiao on his right. The pot near the
brown box. Another pot has 200 HP+. A Musou Up is in one of the three pots
near Zhang Liang's location, when coming in straight from below.
To get +10 Musou, go to the far
right-hand side of the map at the beginning of the level where Liu Bei is
fighting with He Yi. Go towards the circular area. You will see two or three
pots lined up. Break them and get the +10 Musou.
To get +10 Life, go to the fort
on the map with the phantom army. Go into the bottom corner along the side
(to the right side of your character, and left side of the map). Break the
single pot. You will get a +10 Life.
Hint:
Yellow Turban Rebellion level: Stop the fire cannons and wind:
At one time during this battle, Zhang Jiao will grant Zhang Bao
powers. After this you must kill Zhang Bao, and at that time the fire
cannons will stop, as well as the wind in the fort where Zhang Bao is
located.
Hint:
Yellow Turban Rebellion level: Dong Zhou appears in Dynasty Warriors 3
costume:
Note: In order to do this, you must have the Zhang Jiao team.
Play the Yellow Turban Rebellion level on the Yellow Turban side as Dong
Zhou. Kill all of the generals until Dong Zhou appears. Get close to him,
and you will notice that he is wearing his costume from Dynasty Warriors
3.
Hint:
Easy stats and experience:
If you have a strong character capable of completing levels with
a difficulty rating of about six or more and you need upgrading, go to the
Mt. Ding Jun level. Fight for the Shu side. Once in the level, fight your
way towards Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He. If you defeat Xiahou Yuan, he will
give you +4 attack and 1228 weapon experience points. Zhang He will give you
+4 defense and a little less experience points. If your character is not
strong enough to battle at Mt.Ding Jun, select the Battle of Guan Du level
and fight for Wei. There are many officers and Zhang He, Liu Bei, and Zhang
Fei all drop +2 power-ups.
Go to the Unification Of Jiang
Dong level in the Wu Territory under the medium difficulty setting. All
generals and their officers give a minimum of +2 to attack/defence, and the
rest give +4. The difficulty for the level is only rated for 4 on medium
difficulty. Weapon experience is not very high, however, and you will only
acquire about 3000 weapon experience points (more if you juggle the Named
Ones).
The Battle of Jian Ye is the
best level for weapon experience, and there are some good power-ups there as
well. The four fake Sun Jians will all give over 1,000 experience each, as
well as the real one. Then, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun
Shang Xiang will give you a lot more.
Most of the power-ups dropped
by Generals in the game are Attack ups. Your attack will reach maximum
before your defense does. To raise your defense faster, play the Campaign
Against Sun Jian level as any force. Many Generals there will give you
Defense ups.
Go to the Hu Lao Gate under the
hard difficulty setting and kill all generals. You will get over 5,000
experience points.
Go to the Battle Of Hu Lao Gate
level as any character (at least Class 10 and weapon level 5). Destroy all
generals except Lu Bu (just evade him) and run up sides of gate. Collect the
Musou +10 and the Health +10. Many generals in Hu Lao gate have at least +2
items. Note: Do not knock Lu Bu off his horse because it will be easier for
him to attack you; just run and stay away from his slash. He cannot go up
the stairs of Hu Lao Gate on his horse.
Hint:
Easy win:
Jump up and press Triangle. Your character will do a
slamming stab attack into the ground. This is quite effective, but on the
way down your character is defenseless. The enemy will often attack you.
However, if you hold Square on the way down, most times you will not
get hit.
When fighting with a lot of
enemies around you, sometimes the game slows down. If you enter the power
struggle thing (where you attack repeatedly) while the game is slowing down,
you will win easier because everything else is slow while you are at normal
speed.
Use the following trick for an
instant death of any enemy that is not an officer. Equip the Vorpal Orb at a
high level so you do not really need a Tiger Amulet.
Hint:
Easy win in two player mode:
If you are having trouble defeating a general, have one player
use his surprise attack (R3). When the enemy unblocks, and pulls
back, strike. This is also useful when defeating Lu Bu or any other general.
Hint:
Musou modes:
In order to unlock the Naman Musou mode, you must unlock the
character Meng Huo. To do so, during a Musou mode with either the Shu or Wu
Kingdom, defeat Meng Huo in a duel when he challenges you. After that Musou
mode, you will unlock him. After have completed the Shu, Wei, Wu, Lu Bu,
Yuan Shao and Naman Musou modes, the Yellow Turban Musou mode will be
unlocked. To unlock the Yuan Shao and Lu Bu Musou mode, complete the Shu, Wu
and Wei Musou mode once.
Hint:
Extra spin attack:
When an officer's Musou bar is full, press Triangle + Circle.
He will do six spins instead of three.
Hint:
Defeating officers:
Grow your Musou, then use your jumping charge attack. When you
land, use your musou immediatly to do double damage on any opponent. If you
have a high level character, this will work well on any officer. You can
usually kill them in two or three hits.
Hint:
Easy weapon experience:
Play the Jian Ye level on the Nanman side under the easy
difficulty setting. This requires a level 15 Tiger Amulet and a Red Hare
Saddle. Play normally, killing the four fake Sun Jians, then kill
sub-generals in the following order: Taichi Ci, Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai, Sun
Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang. Any unpowered-up character will
instantly have there level 5 weapon and some ranks up. Do this four times
and you will have the level 9 weapon and rank 1 or 3 at least.
First, get Guan Yu's Escape for
Cao Cao's forces (Wei). Access this by selecting the Yellow Turban Rebellion
first in Act 1. Then in Act 2, clear both stages. After the Battle of Guan
Du in Act 3, it will be Wei Tales, Guan Yu's Escape. Now that you have Guan
Yu's Excape, set it to the easy difficulty setting. Equip a saddle of any
kind, if available, and sprint up to Guan Yu. Try and isolate and defeat
him. He will give you 848 weapons points under the easy difficulty setting
after he is defeated. If you hit him with a Charge attack, you will receive
32 weapons points under the easy difficulty setting. Combo him five times at
least, and you will unlock the level 2 weapon for any character in under
five minutes. Be careful, as Guan Yu has three times his normal stats on
this level.
Play the Yellow Turban
Rebellion on Zhang Jiao's side. Defeat every officer and sub officer. By
doing this under the easy difficulty setting, you will leave the stage with
over 12,000 weapon experience.
Play the Battle Of Jian Ye
level as the Shu side in free mode. Choose the character for which you want
to maximize his or her power. It is best to have at least the level 7
weapon. Quickly, eliminate Sun Jian at the bottom of the map. If you want to
boost your weapon experience first, kill one illusion of Sun Jian. After you
kill the real Sun Jian with the static around his body, you will get about
2,028 weapon experience and an +8 attack in normal mode or 1,016 weapon
experience and a +4 in easy mode. Sun Ce will now take command. Kill him to
get another 2,000 weapon experience and +8 attack. If your health is low,
kill SunSan Xiang or one of the elite guards to get an All Recover boost.
Sun Quan will now take command. Kill him to get 2,000 weapon experience and
+8 defense. Make sure your health is towards full before facing Sun San
Xiang; she will have Zhou Tai nearby and lots of soldiers. Taici Ci will
also pursue you when facing Sun Quan. If "The main camp is under
attack" message appears, forget the general-killing spree. Instead,
help Liu Bei get secured. There are lots of 10 second Musous and Life
Recovers in boxes near Liu Bei -- do not worry about your vitality bar. If
you do not kill the soldiers fast enough, then Sun San Xiang will appear and
hunt you down. Kill her, but there will be no weapon experience or status
items. Also, before facing Sun Jian, you need to kill Huang Gai to open the
gate. To finish the stage quickly, equip Red-Hare, or if you do not have any
saddles, knock a general of his or hers. Note: Under the hard difficulty
setting, status items will still be the same, but weapon experience will be
doubled to 4,000 points.
Play the Battle Of Jian Ye
level under the hard difficulty setting. If you think that your character
will die if you play that level on that difficulty, then get someone to be a
character who is already powered up (level 10 weapon recommended) and have
that person help you. Kill all of the Generals in the level, and if needed
have the powerful character weaken the General, then kill the General
yourself. Sun Jian alone gives over 2,000 weapon experience points.
Play the Yellow Turban
Rebellion level under the hard difficulty setting. Defeat all enemy
sub-officers and officers, but do not defeat any Gate Captians or Zhang Jaio
will retreat to prevent this. Do not defeat Zhang Liang; they will have more
morale, and it is impossible for allies to get to Zhang Liang. You can now
defeat all Gate Captains. The best order is: He Yi, Yan Zhang, Gao Shing,
Deng Mao, Cheng Yuanzhi, Pei Yuan Shou, Guan Hai, Zhang Man Chang, Zhang
Bao, Zhou Cang, Han Xian, Bo Zhang, Zhang Liang (optional), Lui Pi, Huang
Shao, and Zhang Jiao. If you are on the Wei side, you can defeat Deng Mao,
Gao Sheng, Cheng Yuanzhi, He Yi, Yan Zheng, etc. Also, you should get Life
+10 by killing Lui Pi and going straight up. There should be two pots and
one box. Break the pot on the very right. If you are running low on health,
break the middle pot and Musou +10 by going to Zhang Liang after killing Han
Xian. Charge to Zhang Liang and once you cannot go any further, take a
right. There should be three pots. Break the one that kind of pops out. If
you are once again running low on health, break the right pot by the end.
You should have a good 3,500 experience points, but this is mainly for
weaker characters. If you have about a level 7 weapon, just go to the Battle
Of Jain Yi level and defeat every officer and sub-officer. Defeat all Sun
Jian's images to get a good 10,000 experience points.
Use the following strategy to
increase a character's weapon to level 9 within an hour and a half. Do the
following levels in order under the hard difficulty setting: Nanman campaign
three times, killing every officer and sub-officer; Campaign Against Sun
Jian Lu Bu's forces under the normal difficulty setting, killing all
sub-officers and officers; and Campaign Against Sun Jian Lu Bu's forces
under the hard difficulty setting. You should now have a level 9 weapon.
Play the Jie Ting leve as ether
Cao Cao's Forces (easier) or Liu Bei's Forces. You will get about 1024
experience for defeating a famous officer and about 500 experience for a
lower officer. You will also get an extra 40 experience for Charge hits (Square(2),
Triangle) or other combos ending in a charge attack on famous
officers. Remember that your weapons change at level 3 and level 7. It would
help to have a level 15 Tiger Amulet, a level 20 Tortoise Amulet, and a
level 15 Peacock Urn. Even if you get knocked around, you will lose less
damage if you did this stage without a Tortoise Amulet at all. You could
probably do this with a level 2 and higher weapon.
Get the desired character with
the weapon to level up to the Hu Lao Gate level(on Dong Zhuo's side). Clear
the stage of every officer. When you get to Yuan Shao, do not use regular
attacks on him. Instead, get a horse and keep riding by, continuously
hitting him with the Triangle move. Every time you hit him, you
should get 32 weapons experience under the normal difficulty setting.
First, complete the Wei Dynasty
campaign or at least make it to the The Siege Of Fan Castle level. Play this
level in free mode under the easy difficulty setting. Fight for the Wei
Forces as any character you wish to gain weapon experience for. Defeat every
officer on the map. Try starting with Zhou Tai and his officer, Xu Sheng.
Then head up towards Lu Xun and his officer, Ding Feng. After that, go
towards Sun Zhang Xiang and her officer, Ling Tong. After that, go for
Taishi Ci and his officer, Zhu Ran. By this time, either both Lu Meng and
Sun Quan, or just Lu Meng are at the west gate. Move to Lu Meng and his
officer Jiang Qin. Now all that remains in your way is Sun Quan and his
officer, Cheng Pu. Once the mission is done, you should have about 8,000
weapon experience. Be careful, as this level is somewhat difficult. Make
sure that you have at least a level 12 character.
Hint:
Easy level 10 weapons:
Play in two player mode. Use a low trained character who has a
ninth weapon for player one and another trained character with at least a
ninth weapon for player two. If you were supposed to defeat an enemy
general, let player two weaken him. Then let player one defeat the enemy
general.
Hint:
Fourth weapons:
If you are trying to get a fourth weapon and it is not working,
make sure your weapon is at level 9. If it still does not work, then try it
in Musou mode.
Start a game under the hard
difficulty setting with the correct level and character for the weapon
desired. As soon as you start, pause game play and quit. Set the difficulty
to "Easy". Do not select "Continue"; instead, start a
new game in free mode or Musou mode. As soon as that level starts, press Start
+ Select. Do not worry if the game resets, this is meant to happen.
Then, select "Continue" to get the weapon in "Easy"
mode.
I you get three stats for any
character completely maxed out, he or she will gain their fourth weapon.
Obviously, you must accomplish this with your third weapon already gained.
Hint:
Easy weapon levels:
For easy second weapons or level 4 weapons, play The Yellow
Turban Menace a few times. If you want to get your rank faster, also keep
playing the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Hint:
Weapons:
For a second weapon, get your weapon to level 4. For a third
weapon, get your weapon to level 7.
Hint:
Locating valuable items:
If you are having trouble locating valuable items when they
appear, pause game play, select "History", and scroll to the
"A valuable item has been discovered" notice. It will show you the
exact location of the item when it appears.
Hint:
Easy duels:
Use Huang's Bow at level 10 or more. When a duel begins, take out
your bow and shoot. The officer will fly back and come towards you. This
gives you enough time to use your bow. To do this easier, shoot the bow,
release the button, hold it again, and shoot. Repeat this until he or she is
dead. Note: This will not work for all generals, especially Lu Bu.
While in Musou mode during a
duel, if you are losing, run up as close to the wall as possible. Press R1
to aim with a bow and arrow. The general you are dueling will not attack,
and you can survive to fight him on the battlefield.
When you are losing a duel, go
to the side of the dueling fences and hold R1 to switch to bow mode.
While in bow mode, look outside the fence. Note: You must to be touching the
fence and be looking outside for this to work.
As you are starting a one or
one duel, the best way to get a good start and kill them quickly is run
towards them. Jump and use your Square attack in mid air to hit them.
They usually stop guarding when you jump. Then, get behind them when they
are on the ground. When they get up, do your 1, 2, Triangle attack
and repeat until they die.
Hint:
Defeating Lu Bu:
This trick will take quite a long time, but is worth it. Before
facing Lu Bu, charge up your Musou. Then, charge towards him (from behind,
if possible). Use your Musou on him. After he is on the ground, use this
chance to run away. Charge up your Musou again and return to attack him.
Your Musou could be more powerful when your life bar is red. This will set
Lu Bu on fire.
Take Lu Bu's Red Hare and run
back and forth. Run him over and attack with Triangle to get weapon
experience or just a normal Square attack. When he is almost dead,
you can get off the horse and use Musou, or keep riding horse and lunge at
him.
Use the following trick to
defeat Lu Bu in a duel. When in Hu Lao Gate, Yuan Shao will say
"Protect the ram while it heads for Hu Lao Gate". After the ram
destroys Hu Lao's Gate, Yuan Shao will say "All forces march. Take Dong
Zhuo's head." After that, Lu Bu will appear. A few seconds, later Lu Bu
will say "You dare face the mighty Lu Bu" . Duel him. Use the
following items as Zhao Yun under the easy difficulty settin to defeat him.
Note: Also use Zhao Yun's Max combo, which is Square(2), Triangle(3).
If done correctly, he should fly in the air, allowing you to land another
combo. The items are: Tiger Amulet: 15, Tortoise Armulet: 19, Peacock Urn:
15, Dragon Armulet: 15, Wind Scroll: none. Make sure your character has
almost maximum stats.
Use the following trick to
defeat Lu Bu in a duel. This can be somewhat difficult to actually do, but
if it works you can defeat Lu Bu in a duel easily. First, get your
character's weapon to at least level 4. Going to all three of the Yellow
Turban levels twice (and defeating most, if not all Generals and
sub-Generals) should take care of this. Attack Lu Bu with the third charge (Square(2),
Triangle) and keep pressing Triangle. You will notice that
since the character has the second form of the weapon, they do more hits
than before. When Lu Bu becomes dizzy from the last hit, get behind him and
do a very strong combo (varies for each character). Keep doing this until he
is defeated. Note: Some characters tend to push Lu Bu to the side, thus
missing the blow that actually makes him dizzy (for example, Liu Bei, Sun
Quan, Guan Yu, etc.). However, this does not make it impossible for them to
pull this off.
To defeat Lu Bu in under ten
minutes, when the battle of Hu Lao Gate starts, quickly get your gate open
by defeating the General that blocks it (Li Ru, Dong Min, etc.). The
battering ram should now appear. Kill the General that blocks the Shu army.
After killing him, the Shu army should protect the ram. Do not kill the
Guard Captains. You will need their health power-ups when fighting Lu Bu.
When the gate breaks, quickly hit Lu Bu off his horse. He should now be in
rage and pursue you. Do not accept his duels. When fighting Lu Bu non-duel
style, just block (L1) all of his attacks. If the light shines, jump
and press Triangle for a jump charge. He should now be flying in
mid-air. Quickly slash twice before he guards and counter. After jump
charging, guard again. It is best for Lu Bu to let him decrease your health
to red so you can Musou rather than slashing. Make sure health is nearby.
When his life gets low, his Musou attack will shatter your defenses if not
blocked correctly. Make sure you are in a stance in front of him. If he
Musous, execute your Musou as well if you want to do damage. A stalemate
will start; press Square rapidly.
First, get your character to
level 8 or lower. Then, get your weapon to level 5 or higher. Finally, level
up your bodyguards until you get 8. At the beginning of the battle of Hu Lao
Gate, defeat at least four officers. When the ram appears, do not kill the
guard captains. Wait until the ram breaks the gate and Lu Bu appears. Knock
him off the Red Hare and do not challenge him to a duel. Get him to chase
you, and run into only one other General. Get that General to attack him.
Keep your distance and try to use your Charge Bow to knock him out (hold R1,
then press Triangle). When he is knocked out, go up to him and
perform a combo. If your life is red, keep your distance and let the General
and your bodyguards attack him. When you get your Musou, use it on Lu Bu.
Keep doing this until he dies. You can kill a Guard Captain to heal.
Choose Zhao Yun. Equip him with
a Lightning Orb. Charge up your Musou, then go to Lu Bu. Use your Triangle
attack on him when he runs toward you. This may take a while to do, but it
is worth it.
Use the following trick to
defeat Lu Bu without getting hit. Use Ma Chao or an edit character who uses
Ma Chao's techniques (Spear 2 as a female). Before you get to Lu Bu, get a
horse. Having a level 9 or 10 weapon helps, but is not necessary. Having
eight bodyguards also helps, but again is not necessary. Once you reach Lu
Bu make, kill all of the normal soldiers near him; this is optional if you
have the Shadow Saddle equipped. Be careful not to hit him or he will attack
you savagely. After the normal troops are dead, you can get to Lu Bu. The
reason the normal soldiers must die is that they would knock you off your
horse. Once there is noone around, kill Lu Bu with your normal Triangle
attack. It has a large range and stuns Lu Bu. The second time will knock him
over, but since he always does the fast jump up your next shot will hit him
anyway. If your character is weak, it is easier if you have a second person.
This is a precaution because if Lu Bu does get a hit in (uncommon) they can
charge past and knock him over while you get back on your horse.
Choose anyone, then if desired
try to duel him. It probably will not work. Then try as best as you can with
either sticking with groups of men to attack him or doing a small amount of
attacking while running back and forth.
Hint:
Easy kills:
Unlock Ma Chao and the Shadow Rider saddle (to avoid getting
knocked off). Then, ride into a crowd of enemies and use your charge attack.
It will send a shockwave into the enemies, taking anywhere to half or a
little less than half of their health. Repeat this a few times and you will
have killed any enemies around you. Using this, it is possible to get 1000
or more kills easily in a stage.
Hint:
Regain health:
When you are low on health after an officer battle, you can get
health easily by defeating elite guards, guard captains, and gate captains.
Note: The Yellow Turbans do not have elite guards, but some of the captains
have health.
Hint:
Sniper bow:
When aiming at someone far away, hold R1 for a few seconds
without touching anything else. You will zoom in on the target, making it
easier to select who you want to hit with an arrow.
Hint:
Flaming geysers:
The geysers will stop burning or shooting up in the air just
before they explode.
Hint:
Dim Sums and Musou Wines:
This can only be done in Musou mode. Choose the Wu Kingdom and
play until you reach "The Little Conqueror" tale. Choose Campaign
for Wu Territory first and take the supply depot. Then, choose Unification
of Jiang Dong. The Dim Sum is located on the top fort, to the left of the
bottom entrance. The next one is located inside the bottom fort, to the left
of the center building. The two Musou Wines are located inside the Elft
fort, in the smaller center fort, at the bottom left corner, next to a guard
watch tower. The other one is on the top fort, to the right of the bottom
entrance.
Hint:
Defense from Gate Captains:
Go to a difficult level and let your Gate Captain get killed. A
Defense +1 will appear.
Hint:
Flip up after being knocked down or off a horse:
After being knocked down or off a horse, quickly press L1
to flip up and get ready to attack or guard. This also works well when
fighting in duels.
Hint:
Counter-attack:
If you jump and press Triangle, but are hit in mid-air,
quickly press R1 and Triangle again. Almost always, you will
not get hit a second time.
Hint:
Attack Range:
The Attack Range determines how long the sword is
("Reach", according to Dynasty Warriors 3). The Wind Scroll
item increases it. The characters with the most Attack Range are Lu Bu and
Cao Cao. The ones with the least is Sun Ce and Nu Wa (edit female character
with Raeper).
Hint:
Luck:
Luck gives you a chance to get better recovery items, Orbs, and
special items. The items that increase luck are Seven Star Sash and the Hex
Hare Saddle. For example, in Battle Of Jian Ye level, the elite guard next
to Huang Gai gives you Life Recovery +100, but if you a Hex Hare equipped it
should give All Recovery Full.
Hint:
Raising morale:
To raise your army's morale, you must defeat a group of 50
soldiers. Every 50 soldiers defeated, one of your generals will make a
comment such as "I bow to your skills", "We will all follow
your example", etc. This will raise your army's morale. Defeating 1000
soldiers will raise every general to eight stars.
Hint:
Longer Musou attacks:
Hold Circle during a Musou and it will last slightly
longer. If you do this during Musou full for ten or sixty seconds, your
player will continually do the Musou attack until the bar runs out.
Hint:
Special Musou attack:
Play with two players. Fill both player's Musou bar to full. Each
player must stand near the other player, then press Circle (or do
Musou Attack) together. The screen will act like if they did a True Musou
Attack (when the health is in the red). Then, both players will have a
Special Musou Attack. Note: This can be done even when at full health.
Hint:
Horse ability:
Before you start a battle, equip any harness. During the, battle
you will get the ability in any horse. For example, equip the Shadow Rider
Saddle which prevents you from being knocked off when on a horse. Then, try
to sit on other General' horse you will also get that effect.
Hint:
New sides:
In order to get new sides on levels (Shu on Cheng Du, Wu on Jian
Ye, Wu on Battle of Fan Castle, Wei side in Tian Shui gate), you must
activate some tales (Imperial Seal, Eliminate Zhang Jiao, etc.) depending on
which character you use. For example, getting Jian Ye for Wu is very
difficult, as you have to activate tales and finish levels in under the hard
difficulty setting.
Hint:
New tales:
Do the following to unlock new "tales" or acts.
To unlock Tong Gate, play on
the Shu side. Play the last level in every act until it appears.
To unlock Tian Shui, play the
last level for every act with Shu until it appears; ; even after Tong Gate
tale, continue on.
To unlock Imperial Seal, play
with Wu. Play all three levels in the Yellow Turban act, then play Hu Lao
Gate only and kill Lu |
