He was a descendant of Xiahou Ying [?-172 BC]. At the age of 14 he pursued his studies under the guidance of a local teacher. There was an incident where someone had insulted his teacher, and Dun killed him. For this he was known as a righteous but violent person. When Cao Cao first rise to power, Dun had always been under his command and followed him into battle. After Cao Cao was promoted to the title of General who Displays Firmness, he appointed Dun as his military advisor, and stationed him at Baima. Dun was later promoted to the rank of Zhechong Xiaowei and taken up the position as the governor of Dong prefecture. When Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, Dun was ordered to station himself at Puyang. One of Cao Cao’s commanders, Zhang Miao, took this chance to rebel and switched to Lü Bu’s side. Zhang Miao’s troops were stationed near Juancheng, and Cao Cao’s family lived in Juancheng. Therefore Dun gathered a small army and went to the rescue. On his way there he encountered Lü Bu and his troops, and they fought. Lü Bu retreated, took Puyang and seized Dun’s supplies as a result of Dun’s absence. Lü Bu then ordered some local commanders to Dun’s camp and staged a surrender. Dun fell for the trick and was taken as hostage. The rebelling commanders asked for a large amount for a ransom and this incident startled the rest of Dun’s troops. Han Hao, one of Dun’s commanders, ordered his troops to station themselves in front of Dun’s camp and called the other commanders for a meeting. He ordered other commanders to restrict their troops in their own camps. After the other camps came under control, Han Hao went into Dun’s camp and told the rebels loudly, You man-eating traitors, how dare you take hostage of a general. Do you still hope to walk out of this alive? Besides, we are ordered to suppress the rebels, how can we let you off lightly just because of a general? He then turned to Dun in teary eyes and said, There is nothing I can do to help because the law forbids it. After saying this he ordered his men to attack the rebels. Upon seeing this, the rebelling commanders released Dun immediately and begged for pardon. We only wanted to ask for some cash to spend, they said. Han Hao reprimanded them on their wrong doings and executed them after that. After Dun was rescued, Cao Cao learnt about it and praised Han Hao, Your method can be a good example for ten thousand years. For this, Cao Cao made a new ruling: From now on, in situations when the enemies take hostages, kill both the enemies and the hostages. Do not take the safety of the hostages into consideration. There were no more incidents of hostages being held from then on. After Cao Cao returned from Xuzhou, Dun followed him to attack Lü Bu. He was hit by an arrow and lost his left eye. He was later promoted to the governor of Chenliu and governor of Jiyin, and given the title of Jianwu Jiangjun, and was knighted as the duke of Gao An Xiang. During his term of office there were sometimes drought and locust attacks. Dun blockaded the river and used the fertile riverbed for agricultural purposes. He led his men to join in the labor and he carried soil on his back like the peasants. The people benefited because of his leadership, and later Dun became the governor of He’nan. After Cao Cao conquered He’bei and was appointed Jiande General, he was met with resistance from the rear from the Da Jiangjun [General-in-Chief, i.e., Yuan Shao]. After the city of Ye was conquered [from Yuan Shao], Dun was promoted to Fubo Jiangjun and still governed He’nan. He was given the power to impose or introduce whatever ruling he saw necessary, and was not restricted by law. In the 12th year of Jian’an [AD 207], Dun’s contributions were officially recorded, and he was given another 1800 households under his command besides the 2500 household he had already. In the 21st year of Jian’an [AD 216], after he returned with Cao Cao from war against Sun Quan, he was given the command of 26 army units and was ordered to station himself at Juchao. Cao Cao rewarded him with famous musicians and dancers, saying Wei Jiang had united the barbaric tribes and had his legends inscribed in metal and stones, but you deserve more than that. In the 24th year of Jian’an [AD 219], Cao Cao’s army defeated [the army of] Liu Bei [i.e. Guan Yu] at Mo’pi. Cao Cao often had Dun ride in the same carriage with him, and Dun was allowed to visit Cao Cao in his living quarters. Cao Cao showed special intimacy, trust and high regards toward Dun, with which the rest of his generals could not compare. Dun was appointed General of the Van. Dun supervised the units returning to Shouchun. After that he was being stationed as Zhaoling. After Wei Wen Di [Cao Pi] inherited the title of Prince of Wei, Xiahou Dun was appointed as Great General. He passed away a few months after his new appointment. Although Xiahou Dun was a military man, he personally invited his teacher to his camp for guidance so that he can carry on his studies. He was a prudent man to himself and generous to others. He did not enjoy keeping a wealthy estate so whenever he had extra income he gave them to the masses, and whenever there was a shortage he took from the treasury. He was given the honorable title of loyal duke after his death. His son Xiahou Chong inherited his titles and positions. Wei Wen Di remembered Dun’s contributions and wanted to offer knighthood to his sons and grandsons. He gave Dun’s family another 1000 households, and gave all seven of Dun’s sons and two of Dun’s grandsons the title of Marquis of the Imperial Domain. Dun’s younger brother Xiahou Lian and Dun’s son Xiahou Mao were already dukes when he died. Initially, Cao Cao had married his daughter, Princess Qinghe, to Xiahou Mao. Mao had held the positions of palace attendant, Imperial Secretariat, and Anxi Zhendong Jiangjun. He was also given the prestigious royal mace. After Xiahou Chong’s death, his son Xiahou Yi inherited Xiahou Dun’s title as the 3rd generation duke of Gao An Xiang. After Xiahou Yi’s death, his son Xiahou Shao inherited the title. *thanks to Kongming.net for the info above --------------------------------- 3) Moves --------------------------------- S moves: S - A right to left side swipe SS - A left to right swipe SSS - A top to bottom swipe that sends the enemies flying SSSS - Turn-around left to right swipe SSSSS - A turn-around 360 swipe from left to right SSSSSS - A large range-covering bottom to top vertical swipe Running S move: S (while running): A jumping bottom to top swipe the send enemy in the air.

Use whichever orbs you want it is totally up to you. Vorpal - Only because it kills an enemy instantly. Lightning - When you are in a tight spot lightning will most definitly help you out, even though it might steal your kills when fighting an officer. ================================= 9) Recommended Equipments ================================= Peacock Urn - Make sure you ALWAYS equip this. It increases your life and keep you alive longer. Tiger Amulet - Power up your attack. Higher attack equal faster kills Turtoise Amulet - Power up your defence. Wind scroll - If you want to increase his attack range equip this. This is just my ideas, so you can change his items around if you like. ================================= 10) Xiahou Dun Legend Stage ================================= Battle of Xia Pi(i believe) Well all i know is it takes place at Xia Pi This mission sorta a pain in the butt because when you start out you health is decrease to a small amount, to top it all off there are some archers around. Well what you must do is you must defeat Cao Xing twice. So go ahead and take care of him when you start out, he will try to escape to the east gate. Next go down south and go left and head upstream. By the time that you arrived Cao xing should be there go head and finished him off and you finished the stage. ================================= 11)Thanks ================================= Thanks to Muni's Level 10 weapons guide for the information.
