Hint:
Body Guard Manual: In the new officer campaign in the Siege Of Osaka on Yukimura's
side, successfully complete all of the objectives until Yukimura charges
into the enemy camp. Once he charges, follow him and there will be an ambush
inside the enemy's castle. After you successfully repel the ambush, a
special item will appear on one of the right side gate captains. He moves
slowly to the east -- you should be able to catch him on foot.
Hint:
Kankestuba Saddle: In Sanada Yukimura's summer campaign at Osaka, follow all the
missions up to and including and preventing Date Masamune from entering the
castle. A supply team will appear from the gate in the west of the center
and move towards the gate east of the center. There appears to be a time
limit for getting this item (possibly about fifteen minutes).
Hint:
Matsukaze Saddle: In Takeda Shingen's stage, Attack On Azuchi Castle, defeat Akechi
Mitsuhide then enter the castle from the east side. Defeat Maeda Keiju
within one minute of when he appears. As soon as you do so, the supply team
will appear next to Maeda Katsuie's position and move towards the gate next
to Niwa Nagahide's position. Go there and cut them off. They will disappear
rather quickly -- to run there, ignoring all other enemies.
Hint:
War Ration: To get War Ration easier, first use a male or a female model.
Name him or her Kunoichi (most effective if you used a female model). You
should start with a Jump of 115 to 118. Then, play burst, where you must
solve the maze using only sword (because sword increases jumps). Try to
complete the stage without getting hit, with at least 1:00 to 1:12
remaining. You then should have a rating of "Great" or
"Good", and Jump should increase about 3 to 4. Keep doing this
until you get 130 Jumps and Goemon might appear. Watch out for the gun in
expert; it may kill you in three shots.
Hint:
Easy third or fourth weapons: An easy way to receive a decent third weapon or your fourth
weapon for anyone is to play through Hanzo's story. Then, in free mode, play
the Ueda Infiltration under the hard or chaos difficulty settings. You will
receive some good items and weapons. Note: Do not try this unless your
character is strong or you already possess a decent weapon and items --
Kuniochi is difficult.
Another easy way to get a good
fourth weapon is to have a second player with you in free mode. Player two
should be a rank 1 character, because the game sets the difficulty somewhere
between the levels of the first and second player. This makes killing
generals a bit easier.
To get high level 4 weapons
(for example, 40+ Attack, Life, Defense, etc.), play through story mode with
Hattori Hanzou and Goemon. Go to "Free Play", then Goemon. Select
"Goemon's Tale", and play Osaka Intrusion. Find all treasures on
the first floor. The "Valuable Item Found" message will appear.
Return to the start of the level and pick up the item. It is a Guiding Doll.
Note: There are more treasures than the amount required; find them all.
Finish the mission, and you will get the Doll. Next, switch the difficulty
to Hell (chaos), go to "Free Play", and choose the character for
which you want a good level 4 weapon. Select "Hattori Hanzou's
Tale", then Ueda Infiltration. All you need is the Guiding Doll
equipped, along with any other accessories, and a level 3+ weapon. Note:
Kunoichi is rather difficult; you may want a high level character. Gather
all information on all levels of the castle (along with all treasures that
appear on your map, thanks to the Guiding Doll), then proceed to the last
floor (sub-level 5). Get the final treasures, then proceed into the room
with the secret letter. After the mission, you should receive multiple items
with high stat boosts and two to four weapons, also with high stat boosts.
An easy way to get a level 4
weapon is to go to free mode under any difficulty setting, then select
Okuni's Tale. Go to the final scenario on part A. Complete the mission, and
at about the third level there will be a large octagon-shaped room. In the
center is a platform. Go all the way to the other side of the octagon to
find a break in the handrail. Jump on the platforms to the center get a
level 4 weapon. Then, complete the rest of the stage.
To get third or fourth weapons,
first choose free mode. Then, choose the character you want. Select
Mitsuhide's Tale, and finally choose Gifu Infiltration. Go through the stage
until you get to the floor where you fight Ranmaru Mori. Go out to where he
is located, then go to the right side of the room. Attack the crate on that
side to get a new weapon. This should give you a third or fourth weapon.
Use the following trick to get
level 4 weapons for low level characters easily. First, get Shingen and go
to his story mode. When you get to the Siege Of Azuchi Castle level, thwart
the fire attack, beat Mitsuhide to Nobunaga, then let Mitsuhide join your
side. After this, let him die while he is withdrawing. Then, kill everyone
remaining and you will unlock the Kawanakajima Showdown level. After
completing Kawanakajima Showdown, go to free mode and get any general. When
you start, go directly down to the bottom left where Keiji is waiting. If
you wait until he attacks he is noticeably more difficult. He is still easy,
but gets more annoying if you wait. Kill him and get his weapon, then kill
Kenshin to complete the level. This works almost all of the time. If it does
not work the first time, keep doing it.
Hint:
Level 5 weapons: You can earn a level 5 weapon under any difficulty setting.
Hanzou Hattori Weapon: Night Fang "Underworld"
Stats: Base Attack 46, Night Element, Musou +40, Ranged Attack +45,

Oyamada Nobushige and immediately move towards Baba Nobufusa's location.
Defeat him without letting Hirote Hirohide get defeated. Anayama Nobukimi
and Takeda Katsuyori will come towards you; defeat them as well. You
cannot allow any of your allies be defeated. Infiltrate the enemy camp
using the ninja route, then take all the enemy gates and the supply team
will appear. They appear slightly to the east of your home camp and move
west. Defeat the captain for the weapon. Shingen will start retreating
once you take all of the gates. It may be prudent to wait until your
allies are close to his camp before taking the last gate to get in his
way.

Stats: Base Attack 50, Lightning Element, Life +50, Attack +46, Mounted

+49, Jump +29

there.

Stats: Base Attack 46, Ice Element, Attack +45, Mounted Attack +35, Musou
Gain +32, Attack Radius +39

all of Nobunaga's generals and subgenerals. Complete all this without any
of your own generals having lost and the supply team will appear in the
temple, running for Nobunaga's exit point. Defeat the captain to pick up
the weapon.
Mitsuhide Akechi Weapon: Sacred Sword "Futsumitama"
Stats: Base Attack 47, Lightning Element, Attack +42, Musou +37, Defense
+46, Attack Radius +28
In the Battle of Yamazaki upper version, first defeat Nakamura Kazuuji and
the guard captains on Tennouzan . A mission will appear to assist Matsuda
Masachika towards the south. Do so by defeating Nakagawa Kiyohide and
Takayama Shigetomo. Next, clear the Tennouzan of enemies quickly before
the Maeda Keiji charge or enemy reinforcements events show up about five
minutes into the battle. If you do so, a supply team will appear near the
enemy commander, heading towards the cave up north. Defeat the captain for
the weapon. Note: You cannot let your guard captains on the Tennouzan die.
Nobunaga Oda Weapon: Aramasa of Orochi
Stats: Base Attack 48, Night Element, Musou +45, Attack +26, Mounted
Attack +49, Attack Radius +35
In the Battle of Okehazama, defeat the two front-line guards of the

him be defeated. Next, defeat Imagawa's generals until he has two
remaining. Hanzou will show up and run towards the enemy base as support.
Get to the base first and the supply team will appear near the southwest,
near Hideyoshi's original location. Defeat the captain for the weapon.
Hanzou is extremely fast. You will probably require a horse (preferably
Matsukaze).
Yukimura Sanada Weapon: Fire Lance "Susanoo"
Stats: Base Attack 47, , Fire element, Life +50, Musuo+27, Attack+48,
Defense+38
Defeat 1,000 enemies in the Summer campaign of Osaka. Clear the following
missions: Luring the two generals in front of your cannons, returning to
home base, and preventing Masamune Date from entering the castle. At this
point, the mission to charge into the enemy camp will appear. Take this
opportunity to defeat as many enemy generals as possible and build your
kill count. Then, charge into the enemy camp and continue towards 1,000
opponents. A supply team will appear near the southwest of the map and
move towards the east gate of the castle. Defeat the captain for the
weapon.
Hint:
Easy items: An easy way to get items is to play the Abyss survivor game. If
you get Hanzo up to rank 20 with a level 4 weapon, you can run through the
dungeon fairly easily. It is best if Hanzo has level 2 or 3 "healing
items are stronger" skill. Also make sure Hanzo has the mastery skill
where True Musou is always available. If the weapon has the Flame element on
it, the Musou will make jets of fire around Hanzo. If you run through the
tower sub-levels directly to the next staircase down (not killing a lot of
peasants), you can clear the floor in about a minute and a half. After three
sub-levels, you can save or continue. If you go deeper, the items get
better, but the opponents get more difficult. If you see an officer that is
not blocking the stairs, kill him as he normally has healing items.
Hint:
Easy experience: If you are using a level 4 weapon you can claim better
experience, even if you are not skilled. Use the Charge Attack power on an
officer. When he is dizzy, attack him with Musou and you will get 1,000
experience after he is defeated.
Hint:
Easy health: When you are fighting and your health is red, run in circles and
let your Musou charge by itself. Then, turn around and do your true Musou
attack. Repeat this until there are enough people for you to handle, the
enemy officer is dead, you find health, or you get health because of a dark
elemental weapon.
Hint:
Regain horse's full health: Whenever your horse is about to die or has some damage done to
it, get off, then get back on. The horse's health will be full again.
Hint:
Guan Yu and Dong Zhou reference: When you are inside Osaka castle, on the first floor you will
find pictures of Guan Yu and Dong Zhou from the Dynasty Warriors
series on the wall. Note: Try to find all the rooms in the first floor.
