  • Major Bug at Chi Bi (JP version)

    Choose to play as a thin character.
    Choose to play on Wu Kingdom is recommended.
    Equip Red Hare Saddle.
    Ship at the bottom right of the map, the ship where Zhou Tai is positioned.
    At the right side of that ship are 2 dead end passages blocked off by ropes.
    Run toward the left of the 2 dead end passages.
    Run toward the left corner of that left dead end passage.
    After a while, you will find yourself on the ocean.

    At the big red letters Chi Bi written on the mountain side, enter the mountain and you will find yourself behind the letters, which are now reversed.

  • Major Bug at Fan Castle (JP version)

    Equip Red Hare Saddle.
    Make sure you choose to play as a character that starts initially on top of the castle walls.
    Horse can go down stairs, but can't go up stairs, so be careful when trying to achieve this bug.

    First go down one level to the platform in the middle level. The middle level is where the bridges appear after the flood.
    From the middle level, go to one of the sides where there are no castle barriers, meaning if you kept running you will drop to the bottom level. Don't drop down. At the edge, face sideways along the side, walk sideways (press L1) slowly to drop off the edge halfway. Halfway meaning you are not standing on the middle level nor on the bottom level, you are standing in the middle of the side of that castle platform. At this point, if you move toward the platform you will return to the middle level, and if you move toward the ground you will drop down to the bottom level. This will take a few tries, if you drop down to the bottom level, restart the stage.
    Standing in the middle of the side of the wall, wait for the time to reach 5:00.00 for the flood to occur.
    Now you can move toward the ground to go under the flood water.

    Make sure you pick a spot where the bridge does not appear with the flood.
    Clear enemy soldiers around the area so you can wait for the flood undisturbed.
    When under water, if you go near a bridge or land, you will return to the regular level above water.
    From the top left and bottom right water exits, you can go to the outside of the castle.

  • Major Bug at Nan Man (JP version)

    Choose to play on Shu Kingdom is recommended.
    Equip Red Hare Saddle.
    Run at the top left corner outside the fence of the Shu base, after you find the spot you will run up the hill and end up behind the Shu base.
    At the Northern edge of the map, around the middle of the edge, slightly to the left, there is a spot where if you stand there, it will start to snow.

  • Major Bug at Shi Ting (You Ting) (JP version)

    Choose to play as a thin character.
    Equip Red Hare Saddle.
    Head to the Northwest fort.
    Along the West mountain side within the fort, there are 2 towers standing relatively close to each other, with a small fence in between the 2 towers.
    Run at the corner of the small fence and the mountain side from the South.
    Walk forward and sideways by pressing the guard button (L1) until you find a certain spot and move slightly further into that corner.
    Move forward after that and you will find yourself on top of the mountain.
    Head to the river and you can run down the mountain and into the bottom of the river water.

  • Major Bug at Tong Gate (JP version)

    Equip Red Hare Saddle.
    To the North of the bottom left bridge are two civilian houses.
    Go to the Northern one of the two civilian houses.
    Run at the mountain side to the North of that civilian house, move left and right until you find the right spot and you will run up the mountain side.

  • Major Bug at Yi Ling (JP version)

    Choose to play as a thin character.
    Choose to play on Shu Kingdom is recommended.
    Equip Red Hare Saddle.
    Head toward the stone maze from the Shu base entrance.
    Run at the right corner of the entrance, in between the stone pillar and the mountain side.
    You need to find a certain spot, so alter your direction slightly if nothing happens after a while.
    When you find the right spot, the character will move forward into the corner a little bit, after that, keep running forward and you will suddenly find yourself on top of the mountains.

  • Minor Glitch at Suprise attack on Liu Biao

    Suprise attack on Liu Biao(any side).
    Walk to the northern path to the castle(where the rocks are positioned). On the northern rocky wall of the northern path near the castle, there should be a ''rocky bump'' on the wall. Enter the sides of that ''bump'' and you should be going into the wall. Just keep pushing the wall until you find it. Nothing much but you could just hide from the enemy. Jumping while inside the wall will be kind of cool, as you will just keep dropping. But will eventually come back up.

  • Minor Glitch at Yellow Turban Rebellion

    Choose any character.
    Play Yellow Turban Rebellion (any side).
    The River must not have been frozen yet! (Basically, the glitch is that you could walk on the river when it is not frozen)
    Enter the fortress, in the middle of the map. Walk to the middle of the northern wall where it touches the river(NOT atop the castle walls). Go right next to the part of the wall where the right side of the river touches and run towards the wall (not on a horse). You should be moving left a bit (while still going straight and with the camera angle facing the left). This might take a few tries (reseting is not necessary).
    If you did this correctly, you should be starting to enter the edge of the river. Where at that point, you should be on the non-frozen river.
    You could still do this while the river is frozen, but what will that do?
    Just a minor glitch, nothing you can do but go across the river.
