Introduction - Welcome to Dynasty Warriors 5ฎ
__________________________________________________________________

"My Kingdom.  My Life." 

"The place is the vast lands of China.  The time is the turn of the 2nd 
Century.  This is the story of the Three Kingdoms, which has been passed 
down for generations.  A story of Peace, and Chaos.  Prosperity, and 
Decline.  A story of brave Heroes, and Treacherous Villains.  Witness the 
tales of these warriors, for the stories of yesterday are the history of 
tomorrow."
	

Welcome all new players, both to the series and to the game itself.  If 
you're new to the series, the main menu can be quite intimidating, I know 
it was to me when I first got DW4 (good game I recommend this as well for 
new players.)  This game, although not all too different from those in 
the past, brings in a lot of new elements from Koei.  New characters, 
which is brought into almost all of their newest games, new arsenal of 
weapons, new attacks, longer attacks, stronger attacks, redesigned levels 
and battlefields, unique storylines for each character as well as new 
items, bodyguard system and much more.

I would also like to take this moment to show a legend for later in the 
game:

S (S1 - S6) are Square attacks

Charge is Triangle

True Musou is the stronger Musou, (Musou used with bodyguard, Item, Musou 
Rage or Almost dead.

Note: All Walkthroughs for Musou Modes, unless otherwise stated, were 
completed in Normal difficulty.  All Fourth weapons were attained in Free 
mode.

Initial Characters- Who's Who and What Do They Do? 
__________________________________________________________________

The game starts off with 18 warriors to choose from, 6 in all Wu, Shu and 
Wei. There are no officers in unaligned forces, they all must be 
unlocked.  Each includes 5 warriors from games past, and one new officer 
to play as.  All officers' weapons start with 4 consecutive attacks.

-------------------------------------------------
	Wu - "Warriors who fought for family..."
"Blessed with rich and fertile lands, the Kingdom of Wu strives to bring 
peace to the chaotic land.  Descendants of the legendary strategist Sun 
Tzu (historically impossible to prove though) the strength of their 
family bond remains strong in the face of adversity.  Will this family of 
warriors from Jiang Dong be able to realize their burning ambition? Only 
time will tell."


------------------------------
-Zhou Yu
------------------------------


Brilliant strategist, responsible for Chi Bi, and skilled in literature 
and music.  Has been friends with Sun Ce since he was a young, and 
sometimes becomes frustrated and loses his cool.
                         
Musou Mode:

First battle - Battle of Si Shui Gate - I don't recommend doing Zhou Yu 
first, especially if you're new to the Dynasty Warriors Series, Lu Bu is 
here, and boy is he pissed.  But, if your stubborn like me, and want to 
do it, I recommend a good bodyguard, one with the slightly higher attack 
power, and a close range weapon.  Knock Lu Bu down, get behind him and 
when he stands up, hack away.  Kill as many troops as possible, as 
always, and when fighting Lu Bu, if your Health gets dangerously low, 
run, there is a pot to the left of the gate with a full heal, but don't 
stay away too long, or those bastards you call allies will take your 
kill.

Second Battle - Battle of Jing Province - You start off just below the 
center, in the main base, Soon a cut scene will show, even if you know 
the history here, it cannot be prevented, I tried.  Go in the center, 
take out the base, kill all who get in your way.  This map is easy, no 
way to really die, if you get close to Sun Ce, another cut scene will 
show.  Just kill here, try to get as many kills as you can, it's a fun 
map.

Third Battle - Battle of the Wu Territory - You start the battle with a 
cut scene, then you start to kick some ass.  There is a set of two 
crates, (weapon and item) in front of you, grab them.  Kill enemies, and 
defeat the officer guarding the gate, kill the officer controlling the 
fort in front of you, and rush off to kill Yan Baihu.  When that's done, 
Sun Quan should be asking for help, go kill all officers and units inside 
the base he was ambushed in.  Then go kill Taishi Ci.  This map is also 
easy, kill as many as possible.

Fourth Battle - Battle of Xia Kou - Payback on Huang Zu.  The battle 
starts with a cut scene, once again obsessing over Sun Ce's death.  You 
start off by killing anyone in front of you, rush through enemy lines.  
Kill off officers, then go after Cai Mao, take him out to prevent ships 
from sailing.  Then fight your way out of that area, Xiao Qiao should be 
following you this mission, she'll keep saying stuff like "your so 
awesome!" its very annoying.  Attack your way through; kill Gan Ning, 
yadda yadda.  You can also get a high number of kills here.

Fifth Battle - Battle of Chi Bi - really no strategy here, just kill.  
When someone needs help, go save him or her.  Get a lot of kills.  Fight 
all officers, and clear the two bridges.

3rd Weapon - Elder Sword - 11 power

How to Get 4th weapon: (Battle for Wu Territory) extremely easy, just 
kill Wang Yan Baihu and Wang Lang, thus taking the fortresses.  When 
you're done, a note saying "Valuable Item Discovered" will appear.  The 
weapon is just atop the stairs of the wall on the fortress at the bottom, 
by the checkpoint inside the castle, to the left.


------------------------------
-Lu Xun 
------------------------------

- Another brilliant mind of Wu, his strategy brought the initial downfall 
of Shu, and was revered by many, including Zhou Yu and Lu Meng.  Started 
in the military at a young age, seeks for a land under a single rule.

Musou:

The Invasion of Nan Zhong – Charge forward, taking out the enemy attack 
base.  When that's done, had after Jinhuan Sanjie's sub generals, Ahui 
Nan and Dong Tu Na.  Then, charge Zhu Rong and Jinhuan Sanjie in the 
bottom.  Take Zhu Rong's elephant, and march north, through the defense 
base, and take over the neutral attack base in the north.  When that's 
done, march back south, and take over the attack base, next to where you 
killed Zhu Rong and Jinhuan.  When that's done, march forward, triggering 
Meng Huo's "the moron fell for it!" decree.  Kill Meng You, then Rush 
back to the allied main base, and destroy the beast masters, which 
appeared where the barricades next to the base once were.  When that's 
done, rush through the enemy camp, past Meng Huo, and kill King Duosi, 
and the two bases you come across in their camp.  Take out any gate, and 
enemy you come across as well.  When that's done, then go after Meng Huo.

Battle of Fan Castle – Head forward, and take the supply base ahead of 
you.  When that's done, head past to the second supply base, killing Liao 
Hua on the way.  Destroy the gate to the east of the second supply base, 
and move west, killing the defense base, and Guan Xing.  Move down, back 
to the main camp (taking down Guan Suo on the way), then clear out the 
designated gate, to allow Wei reinforcements to come.  Then head west, 
destroy the defense base, and assault Fu Shi Ren and Mi Fang.  When Meng 
Da arrives, kill him and Liu Feng as well. Mi Fang should have defected 
to your side by now, so head up and kill Guan Ping, AND THOSE ANNOYING 
ARCHERS.  Zhang Fei shows up, you know what to do, and if you even think 
of saying you don't, I will spend all my money just to hunt you down and 
beat you senseless. (P.S. don't forget his Sub-general, Zhang Bao.) Now, 
take out the last defense base in the middle, head for Zhou Cang, Ma 
Liang and the other three bases on the top left.  Then head for Fan 
Castle, where Guan Yu should have already rushed.  Slay him, and congrats 
you win.

Battle of Yi Ling – Charge forward to the supply base ahead of you, and 
just have fun killing until Zhu Ran is ready to initiate the fire attack.  
When Wu Lan, Guan Suo, Ma Dai, Guan Xing and Li Yan get in your way, slay 
them. The death of Li Yan will trigger Liao Hua to attack you, take him 
out as well.  Hurry up to Zhu Ran when the bridge layers activate, to 
protect him, and make sure the fire attack is carried out.  Keep 
fighting, and charge through the maze, (cut scene triggers) and seek out 
Liu Bei's main base.  Now, you can do one of two things, just kill Liu 
and get it over with, or have fun and slay the rest of the officers and 
troops on the screen.  I choose, and recommend the latter, as because 
Zhuge Liang is a major pain in the ass.  Have fun.
(Note: easy way through the maze, follow the enemy troops, if you keep 
running into fresh troops, your doing good.)

Battle of He Fei Castle – Head forward, and attack the gate captain, 
opening He Fei's west gate.  Head inside (if you have a bodyguard, 
instruct him to stay right now), around the castle to behind the inner 
front gate.  Kill any officer (Cao Xiu, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Hui and Cao 
Zhen.) Destroy the first defense guard, taking out the catapults, then 
the Cao Ren, then the next defense guard. Then jump over the wall, (even 
if you have a horse, just leave it for now) and protect the ram.  The 
gate should open soon, and then you may get your horse back, if you left 
it. Charge Xu Zhu in the center, then go after Cao Hong, (Sub-Gen: Xiahou 
Shang) and Wang Lang (Sub-Gen: Wen Pin) if the units that take the path 
opened by the rock slide advance to far, take them out as well (that's 
why I instructed you to make your bodyguard stay, he should help take out 
some of them.)  Now, when Sima Yi says "the wind is just right" go to the 
top ships of the fleet to the right of the map, and kill the task force. 
Now, kill Cao Rui, Sima Zhao, Sima Yi (cut scene), and finally, Cao Pi.
(Side Note: Zhen Ji's "save the princess" comment is triggered when any 
Wu soldier getting close to Xu Zhu.  If you can get inside the chamber 
that Cao Pi and Sima Yi are in soon after that, a cut scene and ambush 
will trigger.)

Battle of Bai Di Castle – Starts out with an awesome movie, then you head 
forward, killing enemy peasants, and attempting to surround the castle. 
Move up to Wang Ping, killing him and his officer, Huang Zhong (you may 
also want to kill Yan Yan before heading to Wang Ping, seeing as how he's 
another of Huang Zhong's Sub-gens).  Charge past up, up to the supply 
base up top, tramping it.  Then head back down, taking over that supply 
base, and the attack base too. Take out Ma Chao (watch out, he's super 
charged) when he shows up, and any other officers on the way (Guan Suo, 
Ma Dai and Guan Xing).  Then take the attack base in the bottom right 
corner, moving up to the supply base in the middle right, and kill Yang 
Yi to open the eastern gate of Bai Di castle, and storm in (P.S. Watch 
out for the arbalests in the castle, they are a real pain in the 
ass!!!!!!).  Take out the two gates on top and bottom, along with Jiang 
Wei, Xing Cai, and if you feel like it, Zhang Bao and Zhang Yi.  Ignore 
Liu Chan till the very end (watch out enemy reinforcements will show up a 
few minutes after you enter the castle). Congrats, you win.

3rd Weapon – Eagle – 11 power

4th Weapon – Falcon – 34 power
(Fill 15, Luck 18, Speed 20, Attack 15, Musou 19)

How to get fourth weapon – Battle of Bai Di Castle – Ok, main thing here, 
until you receive the weapon, stay the hell out of Bai Di Castle, and 
stay the hell away from Xing Cai. Start off by charging after Huang 
Zhong, to save Huang Gai from any embarrassment that the old man will try 
to deal to him.  When that's done, just slay the little peon peasants 
until Ma Chao shows up, kill him, and rush through the maze (move around 
to the center, take out the golden statue, then kill all the enemies that 
appear), and slay Jiang Wei.  The Valuable item will show up in the top 
right corner of the stone sentinel maze.  After this, go after Liu Chan, 
beat him, Xing Cai will now rush you and if you stay in the castle too 
long, Yue Ying's reinforcements will appear, (after she appears, if the 
valuable item has not yet shown up, it won't appear at all).


------------------------------
-Taishi Ci 
------------------------------

- Extremely loyal and powerful, will fight off anyone who tries to 
disrupt Wu.  Developed strong ties with Sun Ce, and fought on with Wu, 
even after Sun Ce's death.

Musou Mode:

1. Battle of the Wu Territory - start off killing every officer, troops 
and base you can.  Take over bases, When Sun Quan is trapped, kill him, 
and if you see Zhou Tai, kill him on the way.  Take out Zhou Yu, hes a 
major pain in the ass.  So, just kill off troops, get a high KO rate, and 
kill Sun Ce when you feel like it.  When you encounter him, a cutscene 
will play.
 
2. Battle of Xia Kou - Kill Huang Zu.  Start off the battle, by rushing 
to Cai Mao, Killing any officer on the way.  If you brought a body guard, 
leave him behind, as he can take alot of your kills.  Kill Cai Mao, and 
the other officer near him, and fight your way out.  You can rack up alot 
of kills here, so have fun.  

3. Battle of He Fei - start off by taking over the defense base in front 
of you, and the supply base beyond that.  When Zhang Liao shows up, rush 
to Sun Quan to save him.  Kill off Xu Huang when he shows up, to make 
sure he doesn't flank the bottom.  Kill Zhang Liao when he appears again.  
Take out Pang De on the way, to or from the bottom, and any bases in the 
way. Kill Zhang Liao when he appears again, then rush up top, and slay 
Cao Cao.

4. The Invasion of Nan Zhong - Kill Dong Tu Na, Ahui Nan and Jinhuan 
Sanjie right off the bat, and slay any pesky peon that gets in your way.  
Kill Zhu Rong, and take her elephant, take out the defense base on the 
left of the map, and capture the attack base up top.  March into the 
allied base with the elephant, knocking down the walls on both sides.  
When the task force shows up, take him out, don't let him knock out the 
bridge, and kill the beast masters.  Then march through the enemy camp, I 
recommend long way, as to kill more troops, and kill Meng Huo.  Don't let 
anyone too close to Meng Huo, until the beast master and task force have 
been taken care of, or he'll appear close to the main camp.

5. Battle of He Fei Castle - Whoo, I don't like this one.  Start off by 
eliminating Xu Huang, and those annoying troops in your way.  When Lu Xun 
gives the command, rush around the left side, killing Cao Zhang and 
Cao Xiu on the way.  Of course, attack soldiers on the way.  Kill the 
defense captains manning the catapults, (have a little fun flying down 
the stairs with your jump charge attack) and kill the gate captain, 
letting everyone in!  When the task force appears on the ships, kill them 
before they set the ship on fire, also don't forget, kill all officers 
you come across.  Wrap it up by killing as many soldiers as possible, 
then go after Cao Pi.

Attacks:

Triangle (charge) - stamps the ground, knocking enemies down.

Jump + Triangle - flies at ground, stabbing ground and slamming enemies 
around.

Musou - stabs repeatingly with left and right rod.  Finishes with 
attacking in two X shaped motions, and finishing with stabbing forward

up, and jumps down, slamming ground.

Square - Swings right rod.

Starting Weapon - Twin Rods - 5 power

2nd Weapon – Spiral Rods – 10 power

3rd Weapon – Wolf Slayer – 16 power

4th Weapon - Tiger Slayer - 38 power  
(Charge 15, Horse 15, Bow 15, Defense 18, Life 18)


How to Get 4th weapon:

(Battle for the Wu Territory)                 

This one is EXTREMELY easy.  Start out just killing troops, wait for Sun 
Quan to get trapped and kill him off before Zhou Tai saves him.  Once 
he's dead just kill off Zhou Tai, and the valuable item will appear up 
top, to the left of Sun Ce, in front of the gate on the ship.  From there 
on, just kill and maim until you feel like taking on Sun Ce.  Watch out 
if the enemy infiltrates the main camp.  Kill Zhou Yu off, that's a major 
help.

knew how to fight.

Musou Mode:

1.Battle of Jing Province – start off by taking the two attack bases in 
the center, don't kill a lot of soldiers, and just take them.  If your 
strong, feeling brave, and on red hare, you can attempt to take out Huang 
Zu, and save your father, but it takes speed.  Once that's done, take out 
the defense base to the east, and clear out the outer castle courtyard, 
move back out to the area before the main gate, if they're still 
fighting.  Then just move your way inward, killing any officer that gets 
in your way.

2.Escape from Chi Bi – I recommend you have a horse for this battle, 
preferably Red Hare.  Chase after Cao Cao, that's it.  Take out any 
officer that gets in your way, not any ON your way, any that gets in your 
way.  The main ones there are Xiahou Yuan, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and 
sometimes Liu Yan, Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao.  Cao Cao will stop his 
marches sometimes, nail him when he stops.  Also watch out for the bridge 
collapsing in the beginning, which takes a lot of time off of catching 
Cao Cao.

3.Battle of He Fei – Start out by taking the gate and the supply base in 
front of you.  Start moving upwards, taking out the defense base, and 
when Xu Huang shows up, quickly route him, to prevent him from flanking 
the main base.  Work to the center, and take out Zhang Liao when he 
appears.  Move up to the top right corner, and destroy the defense and 
supply base, and kill Zhang Liao when he appears once more.  Move towards 
the castle, taking out that supply base in the middle top, and move down 
to the supply//defense combo just below that.  When Zhang Liao shows up 
once more, kill him, and move up, take the supply base if it already 
hasn't been.  If you feel like it, kill Zhang Liao for the last time, but 
I didn't, he got on my nerves.  Take out Cao Cao and you win.

4.Invasion of Nan Zhong – Kill Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Ne, and go after 
Dailai Dongzhu.  When He's dead, go after Zhu Rong (Take her elephant), 
take out the attack base next to her, and go capture the attack base in 
the north.  Take out the supply base on the way.  Destroy the walls that 
are enclosing the main camp, and march down at Meng Huo the long way, 
through his camp.

5.Battle of Yi Ling – Start off by making your bodyguard stay, unless 
your severely underpowered.  Defeating enemies here should be a snap.  
Defeat enemies, officers and gate captains while waiting for the fire 
attack.  Once that's done, go around the field, eliminating any rogue 
officers that pose a threat, kill off enemies, and close gates.  Finish 
it by killing off her love, Liu Bei.  A cutscene will show once you meet 
with him.

Attacks:

Triangle (charge) – does three cartwheels, attacking anything she hits.

Jump + Triangle - jumps, throws chakrams at the ground, and gets them 
back, like a boomerang.

Musou – throws chakrams around in front of her, finishing off with a

behind, spins back around, doing a 180 attack, then uses both chakrams 
and does a full 180 swipe.

Square X6 - Swings chakram left, right, then squats and attacks from 
behind, spins back around, doing a 180 attack, uses both chakrams and 
does a full 180 swipe, then kicks high into air.

C1 - Swings chakram left, then charges and attacks in an uppercut motion.

C2 - Swings chakram left, right, then a couple of roundhouse attacks.

C3 - Swings chakram left, right, squats and attacks from behind, then 
throws chakrams in front of her, and they spin in somewhat of a figure 8.

C4 - Swings chakram left, right, squats and attacks from behind, spins 
back around, doing a 180 attack, then kicks into air, creating rose petal 
whirlwind.

C5 - Swings chakram left, right, then squats and attacks from behind, 
spins back around, doing a 180 attack, uses both chakrams and does a full 
180 swipe, then throws chakrams, and they spin circles around her. 
Excellent Crowd Clearer.

(The Invasion of Nan Zhong)

 – Start off by taking the attack base in the top left.  Then head down 
to Meng Huo, triggering an ambush, and let the bridge get knocked down, 
then head to Sun Quan, and a scene is triggered, with a message Sun Quan 
Has Been Rescued!  Then kill Mang Yachang and King Mulu; they should be 
inside the allied base.  Kill Zhu Rong and Dailai Dongzhu, as they get in 
the way.  Head to Jinhuan Sanjies sub-generals, Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Na, 
and once their incapacitated, kill Dailai.  Head around the Nanman camp, 
killing Meng You, King Duosi and finishing off with Yang Feng.  The 
valuable item appears to the bottom left of the attack base you were 
supposed to occupy in the beginning.  Finish Meng Huo and you've won.


------------------------------
-Sun Quan 
------------------------------

- Son of Sun Jian, ruled after the death of both his father and brother, 
the fate of Wu rests on his shoulders.  Has a remarkable leadership 
skills.

Musou:

Battle of Xia Kou – head forward, destroy the attack base, Zhang Hu, Chen 
Sheng, Lu Gong, the supply base, then head to the southwest, defeating 
the defense base.  As soon as you are in the base, rush past everyone, to 
Cai Mao, and kill him, defending the main base from his fleet.  Now, go 
after Wen Pin, the supply base inside the enemy's base, and the defense 
base to the left.  Go after Gan Ning and the attack base on the far left, 
then head up after Huang Zu.

Battle of Chi Bi – head forward, and take out the gate right ahead of 
you.  Head forward even more, and defeat Wang Lang, taking down the east 
bridge, right as the announcement goes out.  Then go after Yu Jin and 
keep on fighting in that little area for a while.  When Zhen Ji comes 
down, kill her and Xu Shu, then head west, to 'help' the overpopulation 
of enemy troops.  On the way, kill of Xun You, Wen Pin and Man Chong.  
Next, go after Zhang Liao, who is probably trying to raid Zhuge Liang's 
prayer by now.  Now, go back easy, and kill off Xiahou Yuan, who ventured 
a little far into your territory, and for that he must pay.  Now, the 
ships are probably set aflame by now, head up through the western bridge 
(the one you were supposed to destroy, but I didn't for a good reason, 
this) to go after Cao Hong in a hurry.  After Hong, Go after Cao Zhen, 
Cao Xiu and Cao Pi.  Finish off with Jia Xu and finally, Cao Cao.

Battle of He Fei – start off by rushing the defense base in the center of 
the map (straight ahead of you).  Man Chong should be inside the base, so 
take him out as well.  When you're done, head outside the base and take 
care of Niu Jin and Pang De (Niu Jin first, cause he'll run when Pang De 
is defeated).  While fighting them, Cao Zhang should show up with 
reinforcements, so feel free to take him out as well.  Now, take out the 
gates that are right below the defense base. Zhang Liao's ambush should 
have shown up by now, so rush over there and take him out, the arrogant 
bastard. Next, head for the supply base above the defense base you 
defeated, then go for the next defense base to the left of the defeated 
defense base you conquered, the one right above where Xu Huang's ambush. 
Now, go south, and take out the supply base, Xu Huang and Yue Jin, along 
with the gate and soldiers, of course.  By now, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong's 
reinforcement units have shown up, along with the annoying Zhang Liao, 
take them out, along with Li Dian and Yu Jin who up there as well, and 
don't forget the defense base and two supply bases up top, along with 
taking out the supply base below He Fei Castle on the way.  Head back to 
the southwest, and defeat Zhang Liao who appeared once more to the 
bottom, and head to the top.  Take Zhang Liao out one last time, and 
defeat Cao Cao.

Battle of He Fei Castle – start off by charging ahead and defeating the 
gate captain, watch out, troops appear from behind and may attack you by 
surprise. Storm into the castle, and kill Wen Pin, and go north, taking 
out Wang Lang.  Go around the castle, to the inner castle, and take out 
Xiahou Shang and Cao Hong on the way.  In the castle, kill Cao Zhen, Cao 
Ren and if you feel like venturing farther north, Xu Zhu.  But, first, 
take out the catapult's Defense captains (who are on top of the castle 
walls, on each side of the inner castles front gate).  If you 
accidentally jump, fall or are knocked over the wall (for example, you 
knock Cao Zhen over the wall on accident and jump over cause you are not 
letting that bastard escape O=) Ahem,) just wait at the front gate, by 
the ram, and wait for the door to open, it shouldn't take too long.  
Next, fight through the western indirect route into the castle (where Cao 
Zhang is//was), and route the troops over there, and when you see Zhen 
Ji, get rid of her.  Now, leave out of the side of the castle, and go 
down, and right, past the outer castle's main gate, over to the ships, 
and seek out Cao Rui, Man Chong and the Task Leaders. Next, head up to 
Sima Yi and Cao Pi, and kill them.

Battle of Bai Di Castle - Head forward, killing anything in your way, in 
an attempt to surround the castle. Go after Yan Yan, and trample the 
attack base above him.  Now, attack Wang Ping, killing him and his 
officer, Huang Zhong. Charge up to the northern most supply base, and 
trample it.  Then head back down, taking over that supply base (If Huang 
Gai already hasn't).  Now, go back to your main base, and attack any 
troops there, and wait for Ma Chao.  Take out Ma Chao (watch out, he's 
super charged, and he's looking for you) when he shows up, and then head 
for the other officers, Guan Suo, Ma Dai and Guan Xing.  Then take the 
attack base in the bottom right corner, moving up to the supply base in 
the middle right, and kill Yang Yi to open the eastern gate of Bai Di 
castle, and storm in (P.S. Watch out for the arbalests in the castle, 
they are a real pain in the ass!!!!!!).  Take out the two gates on top 
and bottom, along with Jiang Wei, Xing Cai, and if you feel like it, 
Zhang Bao and Zhang Yi.  Ignore Liu Chan till the very end (watch out 
enemy reinforcements they show up a few minutes after you enter the 
castle).

Attacks:

damage at all, but it is useful for making escapes, and getting ready to 
nail the enemy.

Weapons:
	
Starting Weapon - Wolf Sword - 3 power

2nd Weapon – Wolf Claw – 7 power 

3rd Weapon – King Wolf – 11 power

4th Weapon – Master Wolf – 34 power
(Charge 17, Fill 15, Bow 15, Attack 16, Musou 18)

How to get 4th Weapon – Battle of Chi Bi – Go forward, and take out the 
gate, and the bridge straight ahead (by killing Wang Lang), when that's 
done go take out the western bridge (By killing Cai Mao).  If Pang Tong 
starts to struggle, watch out, at least until his cut scene shows, which 
is soon after the collapse of both bridges.  Now, go over to the land on 
the left side of the map, and kill anyone that gets close to Zhuge Liang 
(Mainly Xun You and Wen Pin).  Also make sure to close the gate just 
above Zhuge's position.  Go up; take out Zhang Liao, and probably Xiahou 
Yuan who will get in your way and any minions in your way.  When Huang 
Gai is summoned, make sure nothing major is in his way.  If you go 
through all three of the cut scenes (Zhuge's "there is no magic here" 
speech, Huang's "flames of Wu" speech and Pang Tongs genius gloating) 
then the valuable item will appear on the large ship right below Cao 
Cao's large ship, to the left of the gate. Now, go take out Zhen Ji, who 
has been causing trouble on the right side of the map, move up to the 
rest of the officers, and finish off Cao Cao.  As always, don't forget 
your weapon.

------------------------------
-Ling Tong 
------------------------------

- Son of Ling Cao, Ling Tong is an excellent fighter always raring to go.  
Although a little bit cynical, his bravery carries him long distances.  
When his father was killed by the pirate Gan Ning, he grew indifferent 
towards him, constantly competing with him, on and off the battlefield.

(*Recommended Wu Starter)

I recommend you start any Musou Mode with him, because he is pretty easy. 
He's extremely fast, he is pretty strong and is easy to learn the game 
with.  Charge attack isn't too useful, but his (SSS+/\) attack is a great 
crowd clearer.  Another reason I recommend him, is to get the Tiger 
Amulet, that is possibly the best item in the game, it is extremely 
useful. Side Note: strengthen up, the battle of He Fei is quite annoying 
and I tried many times before defeating, just a warning.


Battle of the Wu Territory - His first battle is easy, just hack, slash 
and kill, no real way to lose. Use your (SSS+/\) as mentioned above, and 
have fun with it.  When Sun Quan is ambushed, go help him.  Watch out for 
Taishi Ci, he killed me first try cause I was careless. Save a Musou rage 
to deal with him, that'll fix his ass.

Battle of Xia Kou - This one can be quite annoying.  Your father will die 
here, make no mistake about that.  When he does, Ling Tong becomes 
enraged, this is when you go after Gan Ning, kill him, and just keep 
killing officers.  Fight your way to the center, and take out Cai Mao 
before he launches the fleet, and any other officer on your way. then 
fight up to Huang Zu.  Kill a lot here, battle of He Fei, as stated 
earlier, is quite hard.

Battle of Chi Bi - I royally screwed this up the first time, Zhuge Liang 
never called the wind, but Huang Gai did set their ships on fire however, 
that was good.  Anyway, if Zhou Yu is defeated here, he dies, and Sun 
Quan lets off some speech saying to avenge him, yadda yadda yadda.  
Either way, don't let Wei get too far.  Start off by eliminating all 
officers near to you.  That is about two or three.  Then go clear off 
those bridges, kill Xiahou Yuan on the other side of bridge one, it's 
easy.  When this is all done, just slay until the fire attack proceeds.  
Kill Cao Cao when the times right, and you win.

Battle of He Fei - this one isn't too easy, but it can be done first try, 
but I wouldn't know, I died like 5 times.  First, head for Pang De, kill 
him, and take out the officer on the way.  Then, after him, take out Cao 
Zhang (he appears behind him) and if you want, the base just above him.  
Then head towards Sun Quan, taking out Man Chong and the base.  When you 
get to Sun Quan, chances are Zhang Liao is there, Rape him.  Jump and hit 
him off the horse, and kick his ass.  Don't let a soldier or your 
bodyguard kill him, it was your kill rightfully. Then head north, kill 
soldiers.  Wait for Zhang Liao to appear, and kill him once more. Head to 
the bottom left, and kill soldiers there, and wait for Zhang Liao to show 
up, and kill him, once more.  When this is finished (you should probably 
have a Musou rage by now) and wait to the right of the fort, and wait, 
Zhang Liao will show up once last time, Musou rage him, and kill him off.  
Head into the fortress, and kill units and work your way over to Cao Cao.

Battle of Yi Ling - Pshaw, what a joke.  Only a few pointers for here, 
make sure Zhu Ran doesn't die, and kill Liu Bei.  Easy.  If you go near 
Gan Ning, you'll trigger a cut scene.  When your inside the sentinel 
maze, your map will disappear, just follow the trail of soldiers to kill.  
It's easy to get over 1000 kills here.  Have fun here, take out all the 
enemy officers, not that difficult.

Attacks:

Charge: Running kick at an enemy, I don't recommend this, it sucks.

Jumping Charge: Kicks an enery disk at the enemy.  Good for knocking 
people off of horses, and clearing enemies in front of you.

S: Swings Nunchaku.

S2: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction.

S3: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite 
direction again.

S4: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite 
direction again, then opposite direction once more.

S5: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite 
direction again, then opposite direction once more, then spins around, 
flailing Nunchaku.

S6: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite 
direction again, then opposite direction once more, spins around, 
flailing Nunchaku, then charges and swings it at dead in front of him.  
(Can trigger an evolution attack.)

C1: Swings Nunchaku, then charges and kicks with both feet upwards, doing 
a backflip.

C2: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then does three 
roundhouse kicks.

C3: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite 
direction again, then does a front flip, slamming into ground.  Good 
crown clearer.

C4: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite 
direction again, then opposite direction once more, then swings it in 
front of him, causing a whirlwind.

C5: Swings Nunchaku, then in opposite direction, then in opposite 
direction again, then opposite direction once more, then spins around, 
flailing Nunchaku, then causes a fire whirlwind, turns around, and turns 
back.

Musou: flails the Nunchaku in front of him, finishes off by doing a 360. 

True Musou: Flails the Nunchaku in front of him, and finishes a few more 
stronger hits in front of him, finishes with an emitted beam.

Weapons:

Starting Weapon - Wood Nunchaku - 4 power

2nd Weapon - Iron Nunchaku - 8 power

3rd Weapon - Rising Phoenix - 12 power

4th Weapon - Dragon Fury - 36 power - 
(Charge 16, Luck 16, Speed 19, Attack 17, Life 15)

How to Get 4th weapon: (Battle of He Fei) this one isn't too easy, but it 
can be done first try, I did.  First, head for Pang De, kill him, and 
take out the officer on the way.  Then, after him, take out Cao Zhang (he 
appears behind him) and if you want, the base just above him.  Then head 
towards Sun Quan, taking out Man Chong and the base.  When you get to Sun 
Quan, chances are Zhang Liao is there, Rape him.  Jump and hit him off 
the horse, and kick his ass (Make sure its YOU that kills him, not your 
bodyguard, or another soldier.)  Then head north, kill soldiers.  Wait 
for Zhang Liao to appear, and kill him once more (Again, make sure its 
YOU that kills him) Head to the bottom left, and kill soldiers there, and 
wait for Zhang Liao to show up, YOU kill him, once more.  When this is 
finished (you should probably have a Musou rage by now) and wait to the 
right of the fort, and wait, Zhang Liao will show up once last time, 
Musou rage him, and kill him off.  The fourth weapon will appear on top 
of the bottom wall of the fortress Cao Cao is in, once you have it, kill 
off Cao Cao.

"With the rise of the Hero of Chaos, Cao Cao, a new era had been ushered 
in.  Will the land come to know peace under his ambitious rule?  Or will 
their oppressive rule simply increase the feelings of unrest throughout 
the land?  The Kingdom of Wei strives to prove that its brand of 
government is what's best for the people."

battlefield as well.  Cousin to Cao Cao, he fights to unite China under 
Wei. 

Musou:

Battle of Xia Pi – Head forward, and take out the defense base ahead. 
Then head up, don't cross the bridge to your north, go around, you should 
run into Zang Ba, who you'll kill, on the way. After Zang Ba, head east, 
and kill the supply base that you'll eventually run into, along with Cao 
Xing and Zhang Liao.  Then head to Gao Shun, and the Flood gate is right 
ahead of him, you'll notice it by the giant churning wheel, well, to 
capture it, kill Gao Shun. Now, Hou Cheng and Song Xian will defect, so 
move into the castle, when the upper gate opens, slay, kill and maim, and 
fight to Lu Bu.

Battle of Guan Du – Head forth, and defeat the attack base. Lu Wei Kuang 
should be there, so take him out as well. Now, head out of the base, 
going north, and take out Wen Chou, and the defense base right above him.  
Chances are, Lu Xiang will charge you here too, so kill him.  Not hard. 
When Wu Chao opens up, charge in and kill every one in your way, 
excluding Zhang He, he defects after Wu Chao is set aflame. But, if you 
wish to kill him, it's always good to get extra points at the end of the 
battle. Take out Yuan Shang, and finally, Chunyu Qiong, he triggers the 
base being set on fire.  Now, head after the four remaining officers 
(Zhen Ji, Liu Bei (sub: Jian Yong), Yuan Tan (sub: Xun Chen), and Yuan Xi 
(sub: Lu Kuang). When everything's safe, and all enemies are done, go 
after Yuan Shao, who should have charged by now, and you win.
(Note: DO NOT LET GUAN DU CASTLE FALL!!!!! If a distress signal is sent 
out, haul ass down there, pronto!)

Guan Yu's Escape – This one is not a real good battle for attaining KOs.  
Rush forward, and attack any one and anything that gets in your way.  The 
order enemies appear in should be: Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Zhao Yun, Guan 
Ping, Zhang Fei, and finally, Liu Bei.  Defeat all them, then finally go 
after Guan Yu, and you win.  Defeat the carriage before you go after Guan 
Yu though, as because its escape means your loss.  P.S. if you run across 
Guan Yu, and you haven't defeated them all yet, just charge past him.

Battle of Chang Ban – charge forward, attack the peasants if you wish, 
they do no harm to you.  Head forward, and kill Zhang Fei, the toll for 
passage is death, His.  If you don't defeat him in time, and Zhao Yun 
shows up, ignore Zhang Fei for now, and charge Zhao Yun, but as soon as 
your done, go back after that arrogant Zhang Fei. Now, go over, take out 
Song Qian and Mi Fang, and the gate up top as well.  Now, head down, 
taking out the supply base on the lower route, and head down the enemy 
defense base next.  Rush over to the Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Guan Yu 
trio, to attack them, and finish the game.  If you start to feel uneasy 
here, rush over to the neutral defense base at the end, to help cut them 
off.

Battle of He Fei – Go forth, and take over the supply base and defense 
base ahead of you (Use Red Hare here!!!).  When that's done, kill Zhu 
Ran, (and Chen Wu) who is outside of your defense base, and pissed off 
cause his slow ass couldn't get to it.  Ha ha, loser. Anyways, kill him 
and defend the base.  Now, kill Taishi Ci who is up there as well. Now, 
when that's done, charge to the southeast, and help over take that base 
that Wu quickly acquired. I killed Ma Zhong, Pan Zhang and Ding Fend on 
the way down, but that's only cause the bastard Ma Zhong knocked me off 
of my horse, and killing him for revenge just wasn't good enough, so I 
recommend you do this too. Once that defense base is taken down, and Lu 
Meng (if he's there) has been taken down, rush north to protect Cao Cao 
from Gan Ning.  When that's all done and over with, charge the succession 
of Defense bases in the middle, go to the top defense base, and charge 
down, to the supply base, ending at Sun Quan.  Take his head, and you 
have won.

Battle of Fan Castle – go forth, and kill the two supply bases, in 
succession over to Guan Ping.  Kill him to end the water attack ploy.  
Right outside of the dam, should be Meng Da, take him out too.  Just to 
the south of the dam, is a defense base, you know what to do.  After 
that, chase down Liu Feng, who should have gone to the dam.  Now charge 
the defense base in the center of the map, then to the supply bases on in 
the bottom right.  Then head for Ma Liang and the defense base in the 
middle of the south, then after Mi Fang and Fu Shi Ren if they haven't 
defected.  Then head after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

3rd Weapon – Kirin Blade – 12 power

4th Weapon – Kirin Fang – 36 power

How to get fourth weapon – Battle of Fan Castle - go forth, and right 
away, kill Guan Ping, he can get his Musou rage going, so watch it.  
Then, if you wish to, just rush down to Guan Yu, cause the valuable item 
appears in his base anyway, and defeat him then.  I recommend bringing a 
bodyguard that can heal you. But, if you're going to finish the rest of 
the battle:
If you are going to beat the entire battle, Defeat the two supply bases 
that are next to each other outside the dam, then go back to the dam.  
Right outside of the dam, should be Meng Da, take him out too.  Just to 
the south of the dam, is a defense base, you know what to do.  After 
that, chase down Liu Feng, who should have gone to the dam.  Now charge 
the defense base in the center of the map, then to the supply bases on in 
the bottom right.  Then head for Ma Liang and the defense base in the 
middle of the south, then after Mi Fang and Fu Shi Ren if they haven't 
defected.  Then head up Zhang Fei, don't forget the valuable weapon and 
go after Guan Yu.

-Zhen Ji 
------------------------------

- Enchanting wife of Cao Pi, this beauty will hates being left behind, 
and proves herself on the battlefield quite often.

    -She is an ok game starter, her Charge attack is strong, but her 
weapon range is short, watch out!

First Battle - Battle of Guan Du - Easy, use your charge attack to clear 
enemies out.  Save attack bases and generals if you can, and take out 
Guan Yu.  When the siege towers appear, protect them if possible.  Search 
out Cao Pi for a cutscene.
 
Second Battle - Battle of Chi Bi - Kill Huang Gai!  You can kill Zhuge 
Liang as well, but if you kill Huang Gai first, there is no need. They 
are the main perpetrators of the fire, after that, just kill, maim and 
murder your way through the masses to beat Sun Quan.

Third Battle - Battle of Jie Ting - So easy, battle your way up to Ma Su, 
kill him and take the base, (a cutscene should appear, telling you when 
to attack, till then, just kill anyone in the center.) Then battle your 
way through other enemies to get to anyone who comes close to Cao Pi, and 
kill Zhuge Liang.  Take out Ma Chao when he shows up, he can become quite 
a pest.  

Fourth Battle - Battle of Wu Zhang Plains - If you haven't beefed her up 
by now, this will be hard.  Head to the right side of the map, to the 
bottom of the three passages there, and kill the defense guard, or w/e 
the hell his name is, that will end all supplies getting to the middle.  
Once that's finished, take out the two attack bases in the middle, and 
defend all defense bases till Zhuge Croaks (cutscene), then go to the 
bottom center place, take out the arbalests (cutscene,) and advance with 
the rest of the army to kill Jiang Wei.  Watch out for explosions; take 
out the task team on the bottom right.

Fifth Battle - Battle of He Fei Castle - Medium difficulty, just kill 
your way till the army attacks Sun Quan's Boat.  Save Sima Yi if he 
starts struggling, and watch Cao Pi.  Lu Xun usually attacks you, so be 
wary of him.  Also take out Ram's, they are annoying as well.  When 
that's all done and over with, go after Sun Quan, killing Zhou Tai on the 
way.

Attacks:

Charge: plays flute, the note explodes after a few seconds.
(Note: I recommend this for the first battle, three of these in 
succession will clear the large groups of enemies that surround you.)

Jump and attack: Plays flute in air (great for knocking enemies off 
horse)

Musou: Plays flute, attacking anything in range

True Musou: Same as Musou, except stronger, and she plays 4 flute notes 
at end, finishing off any normal enemy.  

Square: swings flute

S2: attacks, then 360-spin attack

S3: attacks, then 360-spin attack, then attacks downwards

S4: attacks, then 360-spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick

S5: attacks, then 360 spin attack, and then attacks downwards, then 360 
kick, then another 360 kick

S6: attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick, 
then another 360 kick, then charged flute swing a (a few times if 
evolution attack occurs)

C1: attack, then strong slash upwards.

C2: attacks, then 360-spin attack, then slaps back and forth about 4-5 
times.

C3: attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then kicks 
backwards.

C4: attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downward, then 360 kick, 
then whirlwind in front of her, knocking enemies into air

C5: attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick, 
then another 360 kick, then plays flute note, (one note of her Musou 
attack)

Weapons:

Starting Weapon - Flute - 2 power

2nd Weapon - Iron Flute - 6 power 

3rd Weapon - Moon Flute - 10 power

4th Weapon - Dark Moon Flute - 32 power
(Fill 20, Horse 17, Bow 18, Def 18, Life 17)

How to Get 4th weapon: (Battle of He Fei Castle) Oh god, if this were any 
easier… Just kill at least 300 (hell, I got over 1100) people and go by 
Cao Pi, you'll get an intermission movie, where Zhen Ji is killing troops 
with her Musou. To do this, just run through the castle killing, simple 
as that, kill troops, officers, whatever, there are more then enough.  
Watch out for ambushes and whatnot, kill rams when they show up, and 
destroy any officer who gets close to an important general.  Item appears 
just past Zhou Tai on Sun Quan's ship. When Lu Xun shows up, use a Musou 
rage, when your done killing his little squad, another Musou rage token 
should show, use that on Sun Quan.

------------------------------
-Cao Pi 
------------------------------

- Son of Cao Cao, extremely intelligent and level headed, future of Wei 
is in his hands.  Began his legacy at the battle of Guan Du.

(*Recommended Wei Starter)
-----I recommend you start the Wei Musou Mode with him, he's strong, 
fast, and his first battle is quite easy. 

First Battle - Battle of Guan Du - Just destroys the towers when Cao Cao 
tells you to (if this event occurs).  I cannot emphasize this enough, USE 
YOUR CHARGE ATTACK, it's an effective crowd clearer, and when your Musou 
gauge is filled, it freezes enemies.  Kill as many as possible, map is 
extremely simple.

Second Battle - Battle of Chi Bi - KILL HUANG GAI! If you have Red Hare 
by now, after you kill Huang Gai, haul ass over to Zhuge Liang, and kill 
him as he retreats, triggering a special item.  Other then that, just 
kill here, if you take down Huang, that definitely swings the tide of 
battle in your favor.  Kill officers for extra points, and just slay, 
slay, slay.

Third Battle - Battle of Jie Ting - head to the center, just at the foot 
of the mountain, and kill people, take out officers and whatnot, and just 
have fun.  When Zhen Ji says to head to the mountain and slay Ma Su, do 
so.  Kill him, and Zhuge Liang will show up.  Make your way through the 
area, killing officers for the extra points, kill units, try to get over 
1000, I know it's damn well possible.

Fourth Battle - Battle Of Wu Zhang Plains - Goddamn does this game like 
this battle, I don't know how many people have this battle as one of 
their Musou battles, but I know that two orbs, and countless 4th weapons 
are attained here.  Anyway, start the battle off by taking out the two 
attack bases in the center, boy are their catapults annoying.  Then rush 
over to the right side of the map and take out the defense captain, 
quelling supplies being delivered to the center.  Kill any Wood Ox on the 
way.  Till Zhuge Liang dies, and they retreat, kill enemies.  When they 
do retreat, chase after them, and when the Arbalests show, go up there 
and kill them, watch out for the juggernauts.  Take the left way to Jiang 
Wei, killing the task guards out, thus taking out the explosives as well.  
Use the Musou rage that I KNOW you attained during the battle (because I 
know of at least two on the battlefield) on Jiang Wei, and voila, the 
battles your bitch.

Fifth Battle - Battle of He Fei Castle - Slay all who have entered your 
castle! Damn them Wu Bastards, rush through the castle courtyard slaying 
troops and officers, as well as getting items and weapons in the crates 
that you see. It is so easy to get over 1000 kills here.  Kill the rams 
when they show, and kill Lu Xun as soon as he enters the castle.  Watch 
out for the Ambush that appears in the top left, and middle right.  Then 
just go down and take out Zhou Tai and Sun Quan.

Attacks:

Charge: Shoots out a ball of blue energy that explodes after a few 
seconds, a couple in succession are a good crowd clearer.  When Musou 
gauge is full, it can also freeze enemies.

Jump attack: swipes at ground, bringing enemies into air.  If misses, he 
hits twice and falls, if he hits an enemy (or two, or hell, five) he 
keeps swinging back and forth.  Does significant damage, especially to 
officers.

Musou: Disconnects his blades and swings back and forth consecutively. 
Finishes off with connecting the blades and doing a powerful spin attack.

True Musou: Disconnects his blades and swings back and forth 
consecutively. Finishes off with connecting the blades, doing two 
powerful lunging attacks, and emits a pulse wave.

S: Swings downward.

S2: Swings downward, then horizontally.

S3: Swings downward, horizontally, then horizontally in the opposite 
direction.

S4: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite 
direction, then horizontally in the other direction again.

S5: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite 
direction, horizontally in the other direction again, then spin attack.

S6:  Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite 
direction, horizontally in the other direction again, spin attack, then 
attacks upward. (Can trigger evolution attack, after nine attacks, and 
count nine attacks, press triangle to release a red ball of energy, 
explodes in black smoke, does great damage.)

C1: Swings downward, charges then swings up.

C2: Swings downward, then horizontally, then disconnects weapon, and does 
a lunging attack forward about 5 times.  Attack is similar to the ending 
of True Musou.

C3: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite 
direction, then jumps to the side, charges, and lunges diagonally 
forward, attacking.

C4: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite 
direction, horizontally in the other direction again, then stabs 
disconnected swords into ground, sending out blue waves of energy all 
around, throwing enemies away.

C5: Swings downward, horizontally, horizontally in the opposite 
direction, horizontally in the other direction again, spin attack, then 
charged spin attack.

Weapons:

Starting Weapon - Twin Blade - 3 power

2nd Weapon - Dual Fang - 7 power

3rd Weapon - Pure Havoc - 11 power

4th Weapon - Chaos - 34 power
(Fill 15, Speed 19, Def 15, Attack 15, Musou 19)

How to Get 4th weapon: (Battle of Wu Zhang Plains) Holy hell is this 
hard, I must have tried at least 4 times to get this (yes, I know that's 
not a high number for most of you, but considering I only tried once on 
the rest of them so far, that's bad for me. To get this, you must kill 3 
generals, NOT SUB GENERALS, right off the bat.  This is easily done, 
seeing as how there are four generals right below the middle.  Don't go 
for the Wang Lang, Liao Hua special, for the first two kills, I tried 
that, it don't work, cause Ma Dai and Wei Yan just head for the middle, 
making the kill time shorter.  Instead, go for Wei Yan and Ma Dai, 
killing them, and then head on to Liao Hua.  Once this is done, Zhuge 
Liang will croak, and you just have to wait for the Arbalest ambush to 
appear.  During this time, I suggest killing the Supply Line's Defense 
Guard, and maybe take down an attack base.  When the ambush does show up, 
kill all the Arbalests, then the weapon will show up in the center of the 
area you just killed the Arbalests.  (P.S.  if either Sima Yi or Cao Ren 
dies in this battle, the weapon will NOT show up.)

(*Recommended Shu Starter)


-----I recommend starting the Shu Musou mode with him, his Charge attack 
is an effective crowd clearer, his attack is long range, and he's quite 
powerful.

Musou Stages:

Battle of Ji Province - Kill Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang then kill Pei Yuan 
Shao, and follow the message to the precious item at the bottom, easy way 
to acquire Fire arrows in the beginning. On your way to these enemies, 
slay as many troops as possible, I got well over 1000 kills here, and you 
can too.  Don't worry about the tornado's, they don't affect you none.  
Zhang Jiao can be quite annoying, watch out.

Battle of Hu Lao Gate - A word of advice for the battle ahead: STAY THE 
HELL AWAY FROM LU BU!! He is souped up good, and a pain to beat, so just 
avoid him all together.  Just fight your way through, that's all I can 
say, its not too hard if you avoid Lu Bu.  Zhang Liao is annoying, but 
easy.  When your fighting Dong Zhuo, however, Lu Bu may rush to his aid.

Battle of Chang Ban – Don't rush, it's easy.  Casually fight your way 
out, killing everyone in the way, but make sure you get to Liu Bei to 
trigger a cutscene that raises allied morale.  When that's done, rush 
back up top and kill kill kill.  Its OK, Liu Bei will make it to the 
escape point safely. When Cao Cao appears, kill him to end the battle. 
Extremely easy to get over 1000 KO's. 

Battle of Cheng Du – Start off and charge the gate ahead of you, kill Lei 
Tong to open it.  Once inside, kill Fei Guan and Deng Xian, and finally 
Liu Xun.  To the north of the castle is the gate captain, open the 
castle's northern gates.  Now, move out of the left castle gate, to Li 
Yan, kill him and the soldiers in that little area, and then move into 
Cheng Du castle.  Once Cheng Du is cleared out, head north, and kill 
Zhang Ren, if Pang Tong hasn't already died, you just saved him. Now, go 
in front of Cheng Du, to clear out Yan Yan and Wu Lan.  Eventually, the 
inner gates of Cheng Du Castle will open, go inside, clear the gate in 
there, and finally defeat Liu Zhang.  Ends with a cut scene.

Battle of Yi Ling – one major thing in this battle: KILL ZHU RAN.  DO NOT 
LET THE FIRE ATTACK COMMENCE, IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.  Rush through enemy 
territory, don't risk waiting till the bridge drops, you may be too far 
away.  Kill Ling Tong and Gan Ning on the way, piece of cake.  From there 
on, just slay, kill and mutilate till you win.  Take care of Lu Xun, he's 
a major pain.

Attacks:

Triangle (charge) – lunges forward, stabbing with spear.

Jump + Triangle – jumps and swipes, if he misses he swipes twice, but if 
he hits, he swipes continuously.  Does considerable damage.

Musou – spins around, and finishes off with a swipe covering a good 
percentage of the area around him.

True Musou – like normal Musou, except stronger, and finishes with a jump 
in the air, and an air pocket driving enemies into air.

Square – Swipes with spear.

Square X2 – Swipes then stabs.

Square X3 – Swipes, stabs then 360 attack.

Square X4 – Swipes, stabs, 360 attack, then slashes downward.

Square X5 – Swipes, Stabs, 360 attack, slashes downward, then another 360 
attack.

Square X6 – Swipes, Stabs, 360 attack, slashes downward, another 360, 
then a strong frontward slash.
(Evolution attack can be triggered, if acquired)

C1 – Swipes, then uses butt of spear to nail upwards.

C2 – Swipes, Stabs then strong slashes upwards and downwards, finishing 
with a 360 attack.

C3 – swipes, stabs, 360 then charged 360.

C4 – Swipes, Stabs, 360 attack, downward slash, then spins around and a 
charged downwards slash, slamming ground.

C5 - Swipes, Stabs, 360 attack, slashes downward, another 360 attack, 
then jumps, spins and swipes.

Weapons:

Starting Weapon - Bronze Spear - 4 power

2nd Weapons – Great Spear – 8 power

3rd Weapon – Dragon Spear – 12 power

4th Weapon – Fierce Dragon – 36 power
(Charge 16, Defense 17, Attack 17, Musou 17, Life 17)

How to get 4th Weapon: (Battle of Cheng Du) – Extremely simple, just take 
the entire southern base. Kill Lei Tong, Fei Guan and then Deng Xian, not 
necessarily in that order, (except for Lei Tong) but you need them dead 
before Liu Xun.  When they are dead, kill the gate captain at the to, and 
the guard captain at the bottom of the base.  Then go after Liu Xun, and 
kill the gate captain too.  It will give you a notice "Luo Castle has 
been captured!" and the valuable item will appear right in the center of 
the castle.

Note: excellent starter, hes strong, he kicks ass, and his first Musou 
mission gets you a rare item!  Start it off with the (SSSS) attack, 
that's his best crowd clearer, but test out the rest, his charge is 
wonderful too.

-Guan Yu 
------------------------------

- The God of War, he embodies virtue, justice and loyalty.  Sworn brother 
of Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, this warrior made a name for himself during the 
Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Musou Stages: 

Battle of Si Shui Gate – start off moving upwards, take out the gate all 
the way to the top east, defeating Hu Zhen on the way. P.S. the pot 
nearby the gate contains a Musou wine.  Move west, and take down the 
defense base, watch out for Niu Fu inside.  Once this is done, head to 
the middle, taking down Dong Min, Jia Xu, Guo Si and the attack base.  If 
you feel fast, you may also wish to take the defense base at the bottom, 
the one Sun Jian is heading towards.  When that's done, head to Si Shui 
gate, killing Li Jue, and if your fast enough you can open the gate up, 
instead of going around, here's where it changes:
(A) If you hurry up, and the gate opens, a cut scene showing Lu Bu will 
show, and you have to defeat him.  Don't worry, he's not that hard here, 
unlike the next part, but it does take some time to get him, I recommend 
a bodyguard here.
(B) If you have to go around, watch out for the ambush that will appear, 
kill them all, and the officers, usually Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Gongsun 
Zan are there to help.
By now, you will have reached Huang Zu, when you reach him, a cut scene 
will play, and you have to defeat him.  Finished.

Battle of Hu Lao Gate – Red Hare is a big help here. Charge forward, only 
killing a couple of that huge group there, and head up to Xu Rong, kill 
him and take the gate which he's by.  From there on, take the attack 
base, killing anyone in your way, and head to the supply base.  Head to 
Hu Lao Gate, killing Hu Zhen, when you see him.  Take out the gate that 
you pass when you first come into the opening, and clear out a ton of 
units, including officers: Guo Si, Zhao Cen, Li Jue, Wang Fang, Li Meng 
and Gao Shun when he come out.  DO NOT KILL THE GATE CAPTAIN BY HU LAO 
GATE! LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT.  Go clear the gate on the other side of the 
clearing, where Li Jue is, which can give you quite a bit of kills.  When 
Lu Bu finally is unleashed, if your feeling a little brave, charge him.  
Wait for the cut scene, and flee, go help Cao Cao defeat Li Ru, and let 
your brothers take care of Lu Bu for awhile.  When you come back, he 
should have a sizable portion of his health taken out.  Help them take 
him on, til your close to death, then just don't risk it, take off.  Be 
warned, STAY AWAY FROM HIM WHEN HE GLOWS RED OR GOLD, HE WILL KILL YOU IF 
HE ATTACKS, EVEN FROM JUST ONE!!!! If you didn't kill him, head up 
through Zhang Liao, kill him, listen to the little conversation, and head 
for Dong Zhuo.  Watch it, he will call for help from Lu Bu, so eliminate 
him fast. 

Battle of Guan Du – Watch out here, this battle is easy to start screwing 
up in.  Start off by pushing forward through the castle, and heading 
towards Yan Liang.  Leaving your STRONG bodyguard at the top gate of the 
castle, to protect from invaders, head towards him, slaughtering him as 
you get near.  You may also want to stop off to the left of the castle 
first, to kill his sub-general, Han Meng (If your going to go this way, 
get rid of that damn attack base above you, as its extremely annoying).  
Once this is done, just continue fighting, and Liu Bei shall move towards 
you.  When you get close enough, a cut scene will play, showing Liu Bei 
fighting, and Guan Yu rejoicing, having found his brother.  Head after 
him and defeat him and Jian Yong.  What? It's an officer kill, worth good 
points.  Any who, head to Yuan Tan, and slaughter him, and work your way 
west, and take down the attack base.  Kill Yuan Shang, but during the 
battle, try to ignore Zhang He, as he will defect later on, making a good 
ally.  From here on, just go after Zhen Ji, defeat her, destroy the rams 
and arrow towers, and protect Cao Cao.

Guan Yu's Escape – This is quite possible the EASIEST stage ever.  Unless 
you suck at life, and can't play worth shit, you'll win.  Just eliminate 
anyone that comes near to the carriage, and take down the officers that 
stand in your way.  At the end, when the carriage stops and Xiahou Dun 
challenges you, ride back and take him down.

Escape from Chi Bi – Well, this is why Guan Yu is known as the God of 
War, his extreme loyalty, and codes of virtue.  He owed Cao Cao big, so 
he let him live after this.  If he had killed Cao Cao, history would have 
been SOOO different.  Anyway. I recommend you have a horse for this 
battle, preferably Red Hare.  Chase after Cao Cao, that's it.  Take out 
any officer that gets in your way, not any ON your way, any that gets in 
your way.  The main ones there are Xiahou Yuan, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and 
sometimes Liu Yan, Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao.  Cao Cao will stop his 
marches sometimes, nail him when he stops.  Also watch out for the bridge 
collapsing in the beginning, which takes a lot of time off of catching 
Cao Cao.

Battle of Fan Castle – This Battle can be Quite Difficult.  Start off by 
rushing forwards and taking out the base in front of you, then rush up 
top, kill Yue Jin and Niu Jin, and protect the site of the water attack, 
until about 4 minutes in, when the attack commences.  When this is 
complete, go kill Pang De, to stop him from preventing the allied fleets 
preparations, kill Yu Jin, Dong Heng and Dong Zhao, and take out the 
supply and defense bases on the way.  Xu Huang will have arrived by now, 
and a cut scene will play, kill him before you go on the bridge. When you 
proceed to the bridge, move in and kill Cao Ren.  Now, kill Lu Xun and Lu 
Meng, when they come up top watch out for them, they are annoying. Also, 
watch out, a couple of your officers will defect to Wu when they show up, 
if they affect you too much.  And if you hold out long enough, Zhang Fei 
will show up with reinforcements.   (P.S.  You can lead Pang De into the 
ditch around Fan Castle just before the water attack commences, so you 
wont have to deal with him)

Weapons:

Starting Weapon - Crescent Blade - 5 power

2nd Weapon – Moon Blade – 10 power

3rd Weapon – Blue Dragon – 16 power

4th Weapon – Blue Moon Dragon – 38 power
(Charge 16, Horse 16, Defense 17, Attack 18, Life 18)

How to get 4th Weapon – (Battle of Fan Castle) – Start off by Rushing 
towards Yue Jin and Niu Jin (Cao Ren's sub-generals) and killing them.  
You must kill them before the river overflows.  Watch out for Yue Jin, 
his movements can be a little tricky, but he tends to move below the 
defense base in the top middle.  When the report "the river is getting 
too high// the Wei Army is moving to Higher Ground" watch out, you don't 
have much time left, maybe 20 seconds. The water attack sets off Around 4 
minutes (I had 4'03"73.) If you finished early, haul ass over to pang de, 
and lure him into the drooping land around the castle, when there are 
only a few seconds left, (hopefully you have red hare) haul ass to higher 
ground, and the cutscene will play, and surprise, you don't have to deal 
with Pang De!  The Valuable item will appear on one of the building in 
Fan Castle, lead to by the bridges within.  The cutscene with all the 
ships appearing will play, and just go get your weapon and kill Cao Ren! 
If you didn't have enough time, or you didn't succeed in killing Pang De 
with the water, then when the water attack commences, Finish the battle 
by killing, maiming and hurting until the Shu Navy gets into position.  
Kill Pang De and Yu Jin [especially Pang De], as they can become a 
nuisance. Ignore Xu Huang, unless he comes after you.  Move in, kill Cao 
Ren, then Lu Meng.  Don't forget to get your Weapon before the battle is 
up. Congrats.

Shu with them.  His major feat, is when he held off Cao Cao's army at the 
battle of Chang Ban, so that Liu Bei, may escape:

"At the sound of this thunderous voice, a terrible quaking fear seized 
upon Cao Cao, and he bade them take the umbrella away. Turning to his 
followers, he said, "Guan Yu had said that his brother Zhang Fei was the 
sort of man to go through an army of a hundred legions and take the head 
of its commander-in-chief, and do it easily. Now here is this terror in 
front of us and we must be careful." As he finished speaking, again that 
terrible voice was heard, 'I am Zhang Fei of Yan; who dares fight with 
me?'"

Although depicted as a violent alcoholic, Zhang Fei was actually an 
extremely intelligent man, and showed great respect for his superiors, 
but the same cannot be said about his inferiors. He later became one of 
Shu's five tiger generals.

Musou:

Battle of Hu Lao Gate - Red Hare is a big help here. Charge forward, only 
killing a couple of that huge group there, and head up to Xu Rong, kill 
him and take the gate which he's by.  From there on, take the attack 
base, killing anyone in your way, and head to the supply base.  Head to 
Hu Lao Gate, killing Hu Zhen, when you see him.  Take out the gate that 
you pass when you first come into the opening, and clear out a ton of 
units, including officers: Guo Si, Zhao Cen, Li Jue, Wang Fang, Li Meng 
and Gao Shun when he come out.  DO NOT KILL THE GATE CAPTAIN BY HU LAO 
GATE! LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT.  Go clear the gate on the other side of the 
clearing, where Li Jue is, which can give you quite a bit of kills.  When 
Lu Bu finally is unleashed, if you're feeling a little brave, charge him.  
Wait for the cut scene, and flee, go help Cao Cao defeat Li Ru, and let 
your brothers take care of Lu Bu for a while.  When you come back, he 
should have a sizable portion of his health taken out.  Help them take 
him on, till your close to death, then just don't risk it, take off.  Be 
warned, STAY AWAY FROM HIM WHEN HE GLOWS RED OR GOLD, HE WILL KILL YOU IF 
HE ATTACKS, EVEN FROM JUST ONE!!!! If you didn't kill him, head up 
through Zhang Liao, kill him, listen to the little conversation, and head 
for Dong Zhuo.  Watch it, he will call for help from Lu Bu, so eliminate 
him fast.

Battle of Xia Pi – go forward, and attack the Defense, base, then the 
attack base above that (make sure you don't keep your bodyguard around 
the attack base, or they'll eventually die, in fact, I suggest that you 
command your bodyguard to stay before you go down the flight of stairs). 
By the attack base is Yin Li, so kill him too. Now, head back up the 
stairs, and kill off Wei Xu, and head into the castle, closing the gate 
and killing Diao Chan. Now, as you'll notice, those damn doors won't 
open. Damn, so head around the castle, over to the defense base that Cao 
Hong is struggling to defeat, and destroy all those pesky bases in that 
area, including Song Xian and Hou Cheng, who are to the left of the 
defense base.  Now, head north, and kill Zang Ba, and the gate up by him.  
Next, head east, and kill Cao Xing then Zhang Liao, along with the supply 
base.  Next, head to Gao Shun, and along with his defeat, is the collapse 
of the dam.  Now, just head into the castle, slay the soldiers, and kill 
(or capture) Lu Bu. 
P.S: If you fail to take the dam in time, and Yuan Shu's reinforcements 
show up, don't worry, they're in the southeast corner, just go and kill 
him.

Battle of Chang Ban – Here is the stuff of Zhang Fei's legends.  You 
start off on a very historical bridge, the one whose toll for passage, is 
death.  Kill anyone who attempts to pass the bridge, just stay n' slay, 
your one stop shop for carnage and death. After the advancements from the 
west stop, if you're feeling brave, you may advance on the gate above 
you, and destroy that.  Next, move westward, and kill the attack base, 
WHILE BEING CAUTIOUS, DO NOT LET ANY TROOPS PAST THAT BRIDGE!!! Watch 
out, Cao Zhang arrives with reinforcements, right above the bridges 
position. When that area is safe from invasion, head farther west, and 
take out the gate and Yu Jin, finishing off with the left-most gate.  
Now, the north should be safe for a while, so head south, to Xu Huang's 
unit and the supply base, to defeat them. Head farther south to the 
defense and attack bases, and destroy them, along with Cao Hong and Jia 
Xu (sub-generals: Jia Kui and Yue Jin are there as well).  Now, you have 
two choices: 
-A.) Help Liu Bei escape, in which case, just kill till he reaches the 
end, Or
-B.) Go up and kill Cao Cao, ending the battle right there.

Battle of Cheng Du – Start off and charge the gate ahead of you, kill Lei 
Tong to open it.  Once inside, kill Fei Guan and Deng Xian, and finally 
Liu Xun.  To the north of the castle is the gate captain, open the 
castle's northern gates.  Now, move out of the left castle gate, to Li 
Yan, kill him and the soldiers in that little area, and then move into 
Cheng Du castle.  Once Cheng Du is cleared out, head north, and kill 
Zhang Ren, if Pang Tong hasn't already died, you just saved him. Now, go 
in front of Cheng Du, to clear out Yan Yan and Wu Lan.  Eventually, the 
inner gates of Cheng Du Castle will open, go inside, clear the gate in 
there, and finally defeat Liu Zhang.  Ends with a cut scene.

Battle of Fan Castle - This Battle can be Quite Difficult.  Begins with a 
cut scene. Start off by charging forward, and taking out the defense 
base, continue heading forward and take out the supply base, defeating 
the gate captain and Sun Li on the way. Now, head forward more, and kill 
Jiang Ji, and the gate ahead even more, there is another one just below 
Jiang Ji's position, so destroy that too.  Head north, and destroy the 
two supply bases that are in succession, and head left, destroying that 
final one.  If the last two defense bases are still standing, take them 
out as well. Now, go kill Yu Jin and finally, Pang De (and with his 
death, you may now enter Fan Castle). Xu Huang will eventually show up, 
so slay him as well. Lu Meng (along with Xu Sheng) will show up when you 
meet up with Cao Ren, so now Kill Cao Ren (sub-generals: Yue Jin and Niu 
Jin).  If you wish, you may ignore Cao Ren, so that you may head for Lu 
Meng (Sub-generals: Lu Xun and Jiang Qin).

Attacks:

Charge: Stamps the ground, knocking enemies down.  It does not do good 
damage at all, but it is useful for making escapes, and getting ready to 
nail the enemy.

with spear and creating a huge explosion.

S: slashes right.

S2: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear.

Weapons:

Starting Weapon - Bronze Pike - 5 power

2nd Weapon – Iron Pike – 11 power

3rd Weapon – Serpent Blade – 17 power

4th Weapon – Viper Blade – 39 power
(Fill 16, Horse 16, Defense 15, Attack 19, Musou 17)

How to get 4th weapon – Battle of Chang Ban – Bring a STRONG bodyguard to 
this battle, and command them to Stay at the bridge. Now, successfully 
defend your bridge, don't let anyone across. Kill anyone who attempts to 
pass the bridge, just stay n' slay, your one stop shop for carnage and 
death. After the advancements from the west stop, if you're feeling 
brave, you may advance on the gate above you, and destroy that. As Xiahou 
Dun and Wen Pin come, slay them.  Once Cao Zhang's reinforcements have 
arrived, and you've defeated them (of course) go after Xiahou En, Yu 
Jin's sub-general.  When the three generals are dead, the valuable item 
will appear right on the bridge that you defended.  Now, just protect Liu 
Bei until he escapes, or Kill Cao Cao when he appears.

------------------------------
-Ma Chao 
------------------------------

- Eldest son of Ma Teng, he travels the land seeking revenge against 
Cao Cao for the death of his father.  One of the five tiger generals of 
Shu. Note: He is EXCELLENT on a steed; his moves are fantastic for 
killing and charging through enemy lines.

Musou:
Battle of Liang Province – Oh My God is this easy.  Just kill enemies. 
Simple as that.  Get a lot of kills, as many as you can, follow the 
orders and whatnot at the bottom of the screen, and you'll win easily.  
Just fight your way to Dong Zhuo in the bottom of the screen, and you'll 
win easily.

Battle of Tong Gate – Like I said for the previous battle, you need a 
sizable amount of kills and upgrades for him here.  It helps if you have 
a horse here. Where you start, tell your bodyguard to stay, that is a 
major help to the gate right there. Start killing the enemies in front of 
the gate, kill Cao Hong, and take out that attack base. Once that's done, 
rush up top and take over those the three bases, (supply, defense and 
attack.)  As you rush past Cao Cao, just ignore that cut scene.  Once the 
bases are taken over, kill Jia Xu and Xu Huang, which ends any future 
trouble right there.  When that's all done and over with, take the path 
through the main area where the enemy started, back to tong gate.  Take 
over the supply base, and kill off Xiahou Yuan, Zhu Ling, Zhang He and Xu 
Zhu on your way. When it's all safe, just have fun overtaking gates, till 
you work back to Cao Cao.

Battle of Yi Ling - one major thing in this battle: KILL ZHU RAN. DO NOT 
LET THE FIRE ATTACK COMMENCE, IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.  Rush through enemy 
territory, don't risk waiting till the bridge drops, you may be too far 
away.  Kill Ling Tong and Gan Ning on the way, piece of cake.  From there 
on, just slay, kill and mutilate till you win.  Take care of Lu Xun; he's 
a major pain. Watch out for Zhao Yun, as he has a tendency to get killed 
here.  Another thing, watch out how far out you get, I died a lot in this 
battle, and you will too if you don't watch it, so when you go out after 
Zhu Ran, try to have a full Musou gauge, a full life bar, and a Musou 
rage.  Try to have the 3rd or 4th weapon by now, you can get it from the 
previous battle.  Not too hard.

Battle of Jie Ting – start off by going after Deng Ai, and fight to Cao 
Hong, killing Zhen Ji at the same time, and take out the supply base to 
the east.  Fight into the middle of the map, killing Fei Yao and Wang 
Lang.  If Sima Yi gets too annoying for you, just charge him and kill 
him, but take off fast, cause Ma Su needs help.  Fight up to Ma Su, Kill 
Cao Zhen and his two sub generals, Zhang Hu and Xin Pi (Zhang Hu starts 
on the path that you should take to Ma Su.) and save Ma Su.  When that's 
over with, fight to Zhang He, and then go kill Cao Pi.

Battle of Bai Di Castle – Start off by charging to Zhou Tai, he becomes a 
major pain in the ass, and yes, I shouldn't have to say this by now, but 
kill Xu Sheng (PUT HIM IN THE NEXT DW KOEI) on the way. When the peasants 
appear, go and save them, that's a major boost for ally morale.  Make 
sure Jiang Wei doesn't die, and when Gan Ning shows up, take care of him, 
so he doesn't take care of Bai Di Castle.  Other then that, have fun 
killing and saving generals and troops.


Attacks:

Charge: Spins on his spear, finishes by leaping into air and landing.

Jumping Charge: Jumps, and flies forward, twirling, and spinning his

C5: Slashes forward, spins and attacks with butt of spear, turns back 
around and slashes again, slashes once more slashes downwards then spins, 
emitting a blue beam, which stuns enemies.

Musou: continuously stamps forward, twirling spear, then switching arms.  
Finishes with a spin on the spear (like the Musou) jumps down and slashes 
forward with spear.

True Musou: Same as Musou, except finishes by falling to ground, and 
jumping back up, creating a teal whirlwind, knocking enemies into air.

Weapons:

Starting Weapon - Iron Spear - 5 power

2nd Weapon - Stallion Spear - 10 power

3rd Weapon - Silver Stallion - 16 power

4th Weapon - Stallion Fury - 38 power
(20 Horse, Speed 15, Defense 16, Attack 17, Life 15)

How to get 4th weapon - Battle of Tong Gate - This is pretty easy, and 
fast. Just run over to Cao Cao, knock him off the horse, (you'll run into 
a cut scene with Xu Zhu stopping you) and hit him a few times.  When this 
is done, a valuable item will appear up top, near a base.  On your way, 
take the two unoccupied bases, and watch out for Xu Huang. Attack Cao Cao 
as he comes up, and if he starts to run, chase him down and kill him.  
Extremely easy.

-Huang Zhong 
------------------------------

- A master archer, this old man one served Hua Xuan.  Now serving under 
Liu Bei, he is one of Shu's five tiger generals.  He is the reason of 
Xiahou Yuan's death, and lived to a ripe old age.

Musou:

Battle of Cheng Du – Rush into the forest, and kill any ambushes, should 
the get in your way.  Rush over to Zhang Ren (an ambush appears as you 
ride up), and kill him, to prevent Pang Tong's death (Hell, if you do it 
before he dies, you get a valuable item! [The Hex Mark Saddle]). Now, you 
may go back into the forest, and kill the rest of the ambushes that 
appear (Liu Hans, Leng Bao's and Zhang Yi's ambush), and clear the three 
gates within the forest.  Next, move to the eastern gate of Cheng Du 
castle, and slay everyone in the area outside of it, then move inside the 
castle, slaying everyone within.  By now, Zhang Fei and//or Zhao Yun 
should have reached and opened the southern gate, so wait for the inner 
castle gate to open, move in, kill the gate up top, then take care of Liu 
Zhang.

Battle of Mt. Ding Jun – Head forward, and kill the gate captain (a pot 
with a Musou wine is next to the gate) and Xiahou Shang.  Now, take out 
the supply base, and Xiahou De, who is right next to the base.  Now, that 
Mount Tian Dang has been captured, a cut scene will play, (which seems 
familiar if you played this battle with a Wei officer) and march north, 
to where Zhao Yun is, and take the defense base ahead of him.  Cao Xiu is 
right on the other side of it, so kill him as well.  Li Dian is next, and 
then head for Zhang He (rush past Xiahou Yuan to kill Zhang He first, 
because Zhang He will interfere in that fight sometimes), then kill off 
Xiahou Yuan, and finally, the attack base.  If Yue Jin hasn't been 
defeated, go after him too.  Now, (if Cao Zhang hasn't been killed, take 
him out as well) head up to the enemy main camp, and kill Guo Huai, and 
wait for Cao Cao, and his "Liu Bei you Bastard" Comment, and slay Cao 
Cao.  Sweet, huh?

Conquest of Nan Zhong – Head forward, and take out the defense base and 
go to the center of the attack//defense base, and kill King Mulu. Now, if 
the attack base hasn't been conquered yet, go help with that.  Kill Meng 
Huo when he appears again, and head down to Ahui Nan and Dong Tu Na, kill 
them, and then to the (Right on the map, Left coming from the top) there 
is a secretive path, its noticeable by a hole in the wall covered by a 
tree.  Now, head over there, past Wei Yan, and take down the attack base 
ahead of him, making the swamp travelable, kill Meng Huo as he reappears. 
Kill king Duosi, Jinhuan Sanjie, and move into the next large area.  To 
the top of the large area, is another secret path, take that to kill Meng 
Huo, who has raided Ma Su. Now take down the attack base, hit pots to 
make them explode and to make killing those armor troops easier.  To end 
the Armor Troop assault, kill Wu Tugu, and if you feel like it, his sub-
officer, Mang Yachang.  Kill Meng Huo, as he reappears... again...  Now, 
kill Zhu Rong as she rushes the area, and Dalai Dongzhu and Yang Feng's 
reinforcements, and take the next hidden path (in the bottom of that same 
area) to the bottom path, and pincer the Defense base.  Now, move onto 
the Supply base, take Meng Huo out for last time(s), and move onto the 
main camp, Take him out one last time, and you beat the stage.

Battle of Chen Cang – Charge forward into the field, and kill all of the 
sub officers, whom are: Wang Shuang, Fei Yao and Zhang Hu.  Just keep on 
clearing enemies out here for a little while, and then head over to 
Xiahou Wei, who is in front of the gate with the spinning defense on the 
left side of the map. Stay over there, and kill off the rest of the 
troops on that side, then head back to the center, and kill them off for 
awhile.  Xiahou Ba should be in the center by now and Xiahou Hui will 
eventually show up too, so you can kill him off. Reinforcements (Cao Xiu) 
will appear in the bottom left, so go rush to them, and rescue the troops 
there.  A fire arrow unit will appear, so quickly dispose of them as 
well.  Cao Hong will appear in the southeast with reinforcements, so kill 
him, and them, off quickly.  From there, charge north through the 
mountain path, watching out for the ambush (multiple ambushes if the 
units there haven't made it too far).  When you get to the top of the 
mountain, another ambush should appear in the bottom left.  On your way 
down the mountain, to save them, Guo Huai should show up on the bottom 
right, so kill him, then rush over to the right, (killing Xu Zhu's 
reinforcements, who appear in the center) and kill off Cao Zhen to save 
them, again. On the way there, if Zhang He (who is now in the center) 
hasn't been killed, take him out. Charge into the castle in the now 
destroyed gate, and kill Hao Zhao, Cao Ren, Wang Lang and finally, Sima 
Yi (and his sub officers, Jia Kui and Sima Zhao).

Battle of Bai Di Castle – Head forward, and attack the gate ahead of you.  
Now move on to the enemy supply base (Defeating Zhu Huan and Quan Zong on 
the way) to the south.  Huang Gai should rush there, so kill him, and the 
gate at the very tip of the southeast corner.  Move on to the attack base 
to the left, behind Huang Gai's starting position.  Now, move on to Sun 
Shao, taking out the gate on the way.  Now, move up to Ma Chao, and help 
him save the Peasant Militia, kill Jiang Qin when you see him.  Zhou Tai 
will eventually work his way down to you, so kill him as well, and that 
saves the militia.  Now, move over the the attack base on the right (Han 
Dang is there, kill him), then go back after Ding Feng. Take out Zhuge 
Luo and the base in the bottom left corner, then move up to Lu Xun, who 
is at the top, and has probably worn off the effects of the Stone 
Sentinel Maze by now.  Kill Lu Xun, and head back down the way you came 
up, killing Pan Zhang on the way.  Go after Gan Ning's troops, who have 
appeared at the bottom right, and prevent him from entering the castle.  
Now, go after the supply bases on top (if they haven't already been), Sun 
Quan reappears on bottom, so go after him, kill him, and you win.

Attacks:

Charge: Shoots multiple arrows from a crossbow multiple times.  Keep 
pressing triangle to make attack longer. This move is spectacular, a 
great crowd clearer, and just screams abuse me.

Jumping Charge: Jumps, and flips forward, and while upside down in the 
air, shoots arrows from crossbow at the ground.

S: Slashes left. 

S2: Slashes left, then slashes right.

S3: Slashes left, slashes right, and then stabs forward.

(Evolution attack triggered, if acquired.

C1: slashes left, spins and slashes in an uppercut fashion.

C2: Slashes left, slashes right, and then shoots out arrows, similar to 
normal charge, ending with a set of arrows with yellow energy surrounding 
them.  Keep pressing triangle to make attack longer.

C3: Slashes left, slashes right, stabs forward, then does a 360-spin 
attack, usually triggering Musou.

C4: Slashes left, slashes right, stabs forward, slashes diagonally, then 
hauls off and slams ground with weapon, creating an explosion.

C5: Slashes left, slashes right, stabs forward, slashes diagonally, 
slashes left once more, and then does two 360-spin attacks.

Musou: spins around and around in a 360 spin attack fashion continuously, 
and finishes by one final slash forward, stumbling forward when that's 
done.

True Musou: spins around and around, in a 360 spin attack fashion 
continuously, and finishes by knocking enemy into the air, shooting an 
arrow about 2 feet in front of him, and the arrow explodes just as the 
enemy (enemies) hit the ground, sending them flying.

Weapons:

Starting Weapon - War Sword - 4 power

2nd Weapon – Veteran Sword – 8 power

3rd Weapon – Sage Sword – 12 power

4th Weapon – Oracle Sword – 36 power
(Fill 18, Horse 15, Bow 20, Defense 15, Musou 15)

How to get fourth weapon – Battle of Mt. Ding Jun – Hurry up and kill 
Xiahou De (kill a lot of the units around him, a Musou Rage appears), and 
rush down the mountains upper right side path, to Xiahou Yuan.  Watch out 
for him, he's super charged, and quite annoying, and you need to kill him 
within three minutes of the capture of Mt. Ding Jun (kill a lot of units 
around him as well, two Musou rages should appear). Now, after Xiahou 
Yuan dies, a valuable item will appear near Zhao Yun, ignore that, it's 
an item (Way of the Musou), not a weapon.  Go on to kill Zhang He before 
Cao Cao arrives. When Cao Cao finally arrives, the valuable item will 
appear at the bottom of the hill that you rode down on, after Xiahou 
Yuan. Now, just get your weapon, and ride up to Cao Cao, and kill him.

Bodyguards - Who's Got Your Back?
__________________________________________________________________

Bodyguards are an essential part of the Dynasty Warriors Series.  On 
countless occasions, this game and past, they have saved my ass from 
ruin, as well as saved the map.  

You start the game with 4 bodyguards, Liu Ren, Cao Wu, Sun Chun and Lu 
Hua, all C rated officers, and yes, they suck.  But, have no fear, there 
are more to recruit.  Notice that there are 8 slots for potential 
bodyguards, and you can fire those awful officers later on.  

Now bodyguards fall under 4 categories:

Veteran - Starts strong, but their stat growth is restricted
Remarkable - Starts average, and growth is average
Brilliant - Starts low, and growth is significant
Superior - Starts high, and growth is significant (the best, obviously)

And these categories fall under another 4 categories, this guarantees 
growth in four attributes, Attack, Musou, Defense and Life:

C - One of the four attributes grow rapidly (known in one kingdom)
B - Two of the four attributes grow rapidly (known in two kingdoms)
A - Three of the four attributes grow rapidly (Known in three kingdoms)
S - Four of the four attributes grow rapidly (Known throughout the land)

Bodyguards can have a total of 6 weapons, Spears, Swords, Bows, 
Crossbows, Fans and Staffs (magic rod, these units are also spectacular 
defense) this has a lot to do with your fighting type, for people like Lu 
Bu, it might be better to get someone with a sword, or spear, so when the 
combined Musou is set off, they both attack the same circle.  Huang Zhong 
or Xiahou Yuan might use a crossbow or Bow unit, so their long-range 
attack nails in numbers.  I'll get more into this later.

The bodyguard also differs from DW4 by its level up system.  Kills no 
longer mean the only experience, yes they still do count with experience, 
but even if they get none they gain some.  Yes, confusing, I know, but 
this is how it is.

But, there is good news; Officers can now obtain skills and attributes!  
Another list here people:

Attributes:
-Fire (causes more damage when hit)
-Ice  (freezes enemy, so you can hit)
-Ying (Light Attacks)
-Yang (Dark Attacks, uses Musou for chance of automatic death)

Skills:
-Heal (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 3) (*One of three*~!)
The bodyguard will heal them self, and you if in distance, when health is 
low.

-Rage (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 3) (*One of three*~!)
When health is low, their attack power will double.

-Wall (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 3) (*One of three*~!)
When health is low, defense will double.


-Fame (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 5) (*One of three*~~#) 
Players army's morale is less likely to decrease.

-Link (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 5) (*One of three*~~#)
Less powerful attacks can wield more powerful weapons.

-Hire (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 5) (*One of three*~~#)
After battle, bodyguard is guaranteed to join.


-Item (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 6, can be rare, if stat 
growth is incomplete by this time, this will not be learned) (*One of 
two*~~~@) One extra item is guaranteed when battle is over.

-Find (Can be Obtained when general reaches level 6, can be rare, if stat 
growth is incomplete by this time, this will not be learned) (*One of 
two*~~~@) One extra weapon is guaranteed when battle is over.



Levels are increased with, as you guessed it, experience!  Here's another 
fun little information session.

Level increasing:

Level Two - 1000exp
Level Three - 2000exp
Level Four - 4000exp

Dynasty Warrior section above.  The sword is attack, attack any and all 
troops near you, the shield is defend, kill anyone who touches you or 
touched you, and the hand is stay, they remain in one area, and kill 
anyone in range.  

The last one, stay, is extremely helpful.  When I was playing Cao Pi's 
Musou, mission 4, Battle of Wu Zhang Plains, I commanded the officer to 
stay at the right hand defense station at the peak of enemy attacks, (she 
was strong by the way) she staved off the entire force for a long time, 
she lived the entire battle as well, I even called her down to help me 
take care of Jiang Wei.

As mentioned before as well, a Musou teeming bodyguard can also boost 
your Musou power, instead of normal, you now use your True Musou (True 
Musou: only usable with an item, or when your life is in the red, and 
Musou is automatically filling.)

Extra tidbit of information:
The bodyguard's color depends on your affiliation.
Wu officers: Red
Wei officers: Blue
Shu officers: Green

Unaligned officer colors are all different as well.
Lu Bu: White
Diao Chan, Dong Zhuo, Zhu Rong, Meng Huo: Purple
Yuan Shao, Zhang Jiao: Yellow
Zuo Ci: Green

P.S. didn't think of anywhere above to put this, but bodyguards are 
gained randomly, every time you beat a battle, there is a chance of 
obtaining one, no set way to get one, or a certain leveled one.
