Fourth weapons: When trying to unlock a fourth weapon, you must be playing under

Hint:
Cao Cao: Fourth weapon: Play the Battle Of Xia Pi. Defeat Gao Shun before you get the
message that he is guarding the dam. You can get the message that he has
begun guarding the dam, but you must defeat him quickly after that. Then,
just defeat Zhang Liao. The precious item box will show up outside the
castle just outside the south gate. Because defeating Gao Shun makes the
castle be flooded, you must to go in the castle from the north gate and go
through to the south gate. Then, just attack Lu Bu. You do not need to
defeat him; if you do not defeat him fast enough, he will get bored and run,
then and his troops will turn on him and capture him, making you win the
stage all the same.
Hint:
Cao Pi: Fourth weapon: Play the Battle Of Wu Zhang Plains. It is better to do this in
Musou Mode than in Free Mode. Wu Zhang Plains is a five-star battle, but in
Cao Pi's Musou Mode it is only his fourth stage. Thus, if you do this in
Musou Mode the difficulty will be lowered somewhat. First, defeat any three
generals (not sub-generals) quickly. The ones that all grouped in the center
make good fodder, as except for Wei Yan they are all generic. Once you kill
three generals, Zhuge Liang will pass away. Continue fighting normally. At
this point it would be a good idea to seal the enemy's supply route over to
the east. Soon you will see an event where Jiang Wei lays a group of
automatic crossbows on the central platform. Now all you have to do is get
up there and break all of them. There will also be juggernauts floating
around, not to mention archer towers -- be careful. Once you have destroyed
all single automatic crossbows, the precious item box will conveniently
appear in the middle of that central platform. Pick it up and finish the
stage to earn your fourth weapon.
Hint:
Cao Ren: Fourth weapon: Play Escape From Chi Bí. Your task is to defeat all enemy
reinforcements quickly. This means that you should be able to defeat the
reinforcement before Cao Cao's own reinforcement says something along the
lines of "Go on first, I'll take care of things here!". You do not
need to worry about sub-generals; just get each major general as they show
up. After you defeat Guan Ping, immediately go south, as Sun Quan will show
up in the southeast. Once you defeat Sun Quan, the precious item box will
show up in the little nook between where Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei appeared.
Grab the item, then go up and defeat Liu Bei to help Cao Cao escape.
Hint:
Da Qiao;s fourth weapon: Play the Battle of Xia Kou. You must defeat Cai Mao and Gan Ning
before Ling Tong is defeated. Go up the left side first; Gan Ning will
appear almost immediately and kill Ling Cao, which will prompt Ling Tong to
charge. Gan Ning is in hyper mode for this battle -- be careful. Luckily,
you will have Huang Gai and Ling Tong also keeping him busy. Then, just go
to the center section and defeat Cai Mao, who is nowhere near as difficult.
The precious item box appears just north of Cai Mao's position.
Hint:
Dian Wei: Fourth weapon: Play the Battle of Wan Castle. First, rendezvous with Cao Cao.
Then, lead him to the escape gates, defeating enemies and generals (there
will be two of them) along the way. Once Cao Cao leaves the castle and you
get the event where Dian Wei stays behind to block the gates, the hard part
begins. You must not let a single enemy past the gates until you get the
message that Cao Cao's escape is in progress. This usually happens after you
have defeated five or six troop leaders (the generic enemies with names over
their heads). Be careful, as the troop leaders tend to ignore you and just
run straight past you. Once you get the message, the precious item box will
appear slightly in front of you. At this point it does not matter if you let
people past the gates (let too many and you lose the stage though), so go
pick it up.

attention to the blue symbol appears next to the unlocked weapon.
Hint:
Easy Musou mode completion: This trick requires two controllers. To complete a Musou mode
with a character you do not like, have a friend play as that character with
you controlling another character. Have your friend remain safe near the
main camp while you go out to kill the commander. Do this with all the
levels to complete the Musou mode. You can also use both controllers
yourself. With controller one, take them to the main camp. Then use
controller two and complete the level.
Hint:
Delayed weapon and valuable item messages: Sometimes the special message will not appear immediately after
you complete everything required to obtain the item or message. If you must
complete something before a special attack, you will probably have to wait
until the attack occurs for the message to pop up. Before giving up on an
item or weapon, double check the battle log to see if you missed the
message.
Hint:
Cut watchtowers in half: Certain characters have Jump Charge attacks (A + Y)
that send them high in the air (for example, Jiang Wei and Yue Ying). use
this move on a watchtower. The top of the tower will fall off and the bottom
will stay standing for a few seconds.
Hint:
Burning in the air: When fighting someone difficult, such as a general or the Boss of
the stage, set them on fire with a charge attack or equipped item. It eats
away at their health until they hit the ground. If you set them on fire and
continuously juggle them in the air with an attack, the fire will keep
depleting their health.
Hint:
Unique combos: Each character has his or her own unique combos. However, they
use the same buttons to perform their unique combos or moves. For example,
Xu Huang's combos are as follows. Press X until he performs his first
attack, then immediately press Y. Press X until his second
attack, then press Y. Repeat the same process for his third, fourth,
then fifth attack. Do not forget to press Y after every attack to
successfully complete the combo.
