O~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O

Welcome to my Dynasty Warriors 8 Walkthrough, which will cover every stage

that
is included in all of the story modes for Shu, Wei, Wu, Jin and the Others
characters. It's hard to believe that this is the eighth main title in the
series (7th with the beat-em-up style), and it still feels like fun!

The Story Mode in the game functions similar to the one in Dynasty Warriors 7,
except that you get to choose from multiple characters instead of being forced
to use only one. Also, the way the battles are set up is that they will be
played out differently depending on the character used. If it is a huge
change,
then it's mentioned, but a lot of the battles are very similar and only one
walkthrough will be listed.

This Walkthrough will attempt to guide you on getting all of the optional
objectives (Hypothetical) on the battles in the game. These are marked with
stars when you go to select a stage during Story Mode. There is a certain
battle
in every Story Mode where it is split into a Historical branch and a
Hypothetical branch. To unlock the Hypothetical branch, you must fulfill all
of
the conditions for the starsfor the stages prior to the one that marks the
split.

The only Story Mode that functions differently is Others, which are nothing
but
singular stages for the characters involved with them. To unlock them, you
need
to complete a specific stage in one of the other Story Modes.

============| II. GAMEPLAY MECHANICS |
===========
| |

O~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O

If you have never played a Dynasty Warriors-style game before, it is a third-

person hack-n-slash title that pits your character against thousands of enemy
troops. Stages are usually set up as two factions fighting each other, with
the
typical victory condition being to defeat the enemy commander, and the usual
defeat condition is either your own defeat or your commander's defeat.

This game adopts the EX weapon system that was introduced in Dynasty Warriors
7.
Every character, of which there are now a combined total of 77, has their own
unique weapon. Every officer can use two weapons that can be switched with the
press of a button while in combat.

.--------------.
=======| STORY MODE |
'--------------'
Story Mode in Dynasty Warriors 8 functions the same way as in the previous
titles, with each faction/kingdom having its own story. New to the game is
What-
If scenarios, which act out different outcomes depending on if specific
officers
live or die. These are generally triggered by doing specific actions during
previous battles, and will unlock extra stages or have officers for use in
later
battles. Also, each story mode, except for Others, have two different endings,
one for the historical setting and one for the What-If scenario.

.-----------------.
======| AMBITION MODE |
'-----------------'
Ambition Mode is a new mode in the game where you are a nobody officer and
must
build up a town to the point where the Tongquetai Tower is constructed to
bring
the Emperor to your town. There are three different kinds of battles for this
mode, which are Great Battles (used for recruiting new officers),
Unconventional
Battles (good for increasing your fame), and Endless Skirmishes (used for
gathering materials to build up your town).
You can fight in consecutive battles to increase your rewards, but the battles
get progressively more difficult and if you lose, then you will lose all of
the
gold and EXP you have earned up to that point. There are over 700 potential
allies you can recruit to be in your town, with the more that are recruited,
the
more facilities that will be in your town.

.-------------.
======| FREE MODE |
'-------------'
Free Mode returns in Dynasty Warriors 8, which allows you to play any stage
that
has been unlocked with any character you want. As you complete more battles in
Story Mode, you will unlock more stages for use in Free Mode. You'll be able
to
play as either side of a battle in this mode and all stats/weapons acquired
can
be carried over to the other modes.

.-----------------------.
======| NEW ACTION ELEMENTS |
'-----------------------'
Dynasty Warriors 8 introduces some new elements for the basic gameplay, as
well
as expand on some of the basics in previous games. Dynasty Warriors 7
introduced
multiple Musou attacks per character and DW8 expands this by having three
different Musous per character. Each one will have two ground Musous, as well
as
an air Musou.

In addition to that, there are three new gameplay elements in the game, which
are Storm Rush, Switch Counter and Rage. Storm Rush occurs when your character
has the advantage in the Three Point System. There is a spirit gauge over an
enemy officer's head and continuously attacking will lower that gauge. When
it's
empty, the next attack will trigger Storm Rush, where repeatedly pressing the
attack buttons will perform a barrage of attacks.

Switch Counter is what happens when your character is at a disadvantage in the

Three Point System. You'll know because a special icon will appear over the
opponent's head. This will allow you to perform a Switch Counter during one of
your opponent's charge attacks, allow you to either push your opponent back or
stun them long enough for you to counterattack.

The last new element is called Rage. Once certain conditions have been met in
battle, your character will enter a state of Rage that will enable them to
perform powerful attacks. Pressing the Musou attack button while in Rage will
perform a Rage Attack. Defeat enough enemies with this and you will go into a
True Rage Attack, which will make enemies drop EXP items upon defeat.

.------------------------------.
======| 1. Yellow Turban Rebellion |
'------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei

Your first goal in the battle is to rendezvous with the main forces to the
west,
so defeat any enemy officers in your way and head to the middle area in the
south. Along the way, you should see a message saying that some of the Yellow
Turbans are approaching the main camp. When you get to the main camp, you'll
see
an officer there, so take him out and then head to the north to take out the
other that is highlighted.

Depending on who you're playing as, head in the indicated direction that
you're
told (Guan Yu to the west and either of the other two to the east). However,
not
long after, you'll see a message talking about peasants in the middle of the
map. Rescue them by defeating the officer near them to get some experience as
a
reward.

Once again, the battle is different depending on your character. Going up the
west side will have Zhang Bao using some sorcery and there will be two gates.
Opening both gates will make him summon sorcery troops that shoot ice or fire.
The east side of the map will have Zhang Liang making shards of ice fall to
the
ground. Defeating either one will make their respective sorcery stop and
taking
out both will make the gate open to Zhang Jiao. Defeating him will finish the
battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You will need to help the peasants in this battle to get the stars. At one
|
| point, you will see them calling out for help in the town area in the middle
|
| of the map. Go there and defeat the officers attacking them to rescue them.
|
| Note that the peasants will appear randomly in one of three spots in the
|
| middle, but they will always be in the middle.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.---------------------------.
======| 2. Battle of Hulao Gate |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu

At the beginning of the battle, go south down either of the three paths. Your
first goal is to get to the base in the southeast, where Yuan Shu is located,
and clear a route to get the supplies to Sun Jian. There will be a few
officers
along the way, with two near Yuan Shu and one near Sun Jian. Along the way to
Sun Jian, Hua Xiong appears from the south, so make sure you defeat him,
although he is slightly stronger than the other officers so far.

Start making your way along the path heading to the west, where you'll trigger
a
trap of arrows from the nearby base. When you see some stairs, go up them and
then jump into the base, defeating the officer to stop the arrows. As soon as
you enter the next base Zhang Liao will appear. After defeating him, you will
see some ballistas on the hill to the east. Try your best to quickly destroy
them and then the gatekeeper to open the gate.

Kill the officer inside to take control of the base, and then the next officer
to capture the catapult. Use this catapult to destroy the two enemy ones on
either side of Hulao Gate. Doing this will open the gate, as well as make Lu
Bu
spawn in front of it (you can't hit him with the catapult). You won't be able
to
do much to Lu Bu, so ignore him and continue on with the battle.

On your way north up the west side of the map, you'll encounter Diao Chan. If
you defeat her, then Lu Bu will mercilessly hunt you down, so it's best to
avoid
her as well. Defeat the officer by the gate to open up the path leading up to
Dong Zhuo, but not before he sets fire to it. Take out the officer guarding
the
last gate, then defeat Dong Zhuo to put an end to the battle.

.-----------------------------.
======| 3. Defense of Xu Province |
'-----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei

At the beginning of the battle, some of Cao Cao's forces have infiltrated the
castle, so go around and defeat the officers inside. There are a few in the
first room, as well as some in the second. While likely fighting the second
set
of officers, you'll get a prompt to start the boulder device by defeating the
officers in the southwestern chamber. Do that and boulders will begin dropping
from giant dragon statues on one of the paths.
The next big event will split up Liu Bei's forces into three. Zhang Fei will
go
after the units beginning to build some catapults to destroy the boulder
devices, while reinforcements will come from the north (Liu Bei will go after
this) and west (Guan Yu will go after this). If you manage to stop all three
events, then Cao Cao's troops on the frontline will withdraw.

It is at this time that Guo Jia will appear and order a fire unit to attempt
to
set fire to the castle. There will be two different units that follow the same
paths the reinforcements from earlier followed. All you need to do is defeat
the
officer with the fire units to get rid of them.

If either manage to make it to the castle, then it will be set ablaze and Dian
Wei, Cao Ren and Xu Zhu will march towards Liu Bei. If the fire units are
defeated before reaching the castle, then only a few of the remaining officers
will come after Liu Bei. Either way, defeat the remaining officers and then go
after Guo Jia to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| There are two Hypothetical situations to fulfill in this battle. Both
|
| revolve around the same set of enemies, so an explanation will be given as
|
| to which enemies the withdrawing ones are. After clearing out the castle,
|
| you should see Yue Jin and reinforcements show up in the southwest. Any
|
| officer that shows up as reinforcements here count when the order is given
|
| to withdraw.
|
|
|
| The easier of the two is to let all of the officers withdraw, which will
|
| open up 3-X. Disturbance at Guandu. However, the other one is slightly
|
| trickier, as you need to defeat them all only after they have been given the
|
| order to withdraw. This is easiest with Zhang Fei, as his job is to defeat
|
| Li Dian to stop the catapults, which happens to be the closest to the
|
| officers.
|
|
|
| The order to withdraw is given when the catapults are stopped, and Guan Yu
|
| and Liu Bei defeat the other two units they are given. There will be a total
|
| of EIGHT officers you need to kill, which are Yue Jin, Lu Qian, Xiahou En,
|
| Xun You, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Li Quan, and Liu Ye. Make sure you don't take
|
| out any of them prior to the withdrawal order. They will retreat to where
|
| they first appeared, so run past all of them and defeat them one by one,
|
| starting with the closest to the escape point. You know you did it right
|
| when you don't see the cutscene at the end of the battle.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.------------------------------.
======| 3-X. Disturbance at Guandu |
'------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun

Start the battle by taking the two western bases near your position. Open the
gates by taking out the gatekeepers and then defeat the officers inside to
capture the bases. Taking both of them will make some of the forces start
moving
north towards Liu Bei, and it's your job to intercept them. There will be
plenty
of officers here, including Yue Jin. Once you defeat them all, Yuan Shao will
order you to help out at Yanjin in the center of the map, so head there.

However, on the way, you'll get reports that Wen Chou and Yan Liang in Baima
have been killed. As a result, Yuan Shao wants you to head over there now.
When
you get there, you'll meet up with Guan Yu again and he'll mention it's time
to
escape the battlefield. Yuan Shao will have nothing of this and will turn on
you
now, so you'll have a new set of enemies to worry about. The old escape route
is
blocked when Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrive, so Guan Yu mentions passing
through Baima and heading to the west.

When you reach the southern gates of Baima, they will close and you will have
to
fight Xiahou Dun, Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan. Defeat them all and continue
heading
to the western escape point. You'll encounter a slew of officers along the
way,
including Guo Jia, Cao Ren and Zhang Liao. When you do reach the escape point,
it will close and you'll have to defeat Jia Xu in order to open it again. Note
that Cao Pi, Li Dian and some officers are there as well. Defeating Jia Xu
will
put an end to the battle.

.----------------------.
======| 4. Battle of Xinye |
'----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Xu Shu
Start out the battle by going forward and capturing the east and west bases
near
your location. Once you've captured both, head across the bridges and then
enter
the Eight Gates Formation through the designated gate. When you're inside of
the
Formation, follow what Xu Shu says and start following the path that is shown
to
you.

You'll encounter some officers along the way, and then Cao Ren in the very
last
area of the Formation. Once you have defeated the Formation, you'll need to
defeat the rest of the officers on the map. Zhang He will be close to the
Formation, but Yue Jin and Li Dian will likely be inside of your main camp to
the south.

With all of Cao Cao's troops gone, the only thing left to do is go to where
the
Sleeping Dragon is located. When you cross the bridge marked on your map,
Yueying and some other troops will appear to stop you. Defeating her will open
the way to where the Sleeping Dragon resides, and the battle will end once you
get there.

.-------------------------.
======| 5. Battle of Changban |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang

You need to withdraw with Liu Bei to Changban Bridge, however, Cao Cao's
forces
have decided to launch a pincer attack. This will cause everyone to stop
withdrawing, and you'll need to defeat both Xun You and Cao Chun in order to
start Liu Bei's forces to continue. When they get to the bridge, rendezvous
with
them to continue the battle.

This will cause some of Cao Cao's forces to charge towards the bridge, so some
of the garrisons will now be open. However, you get a report that Adou, Liu
Bei's son, has been left behind north of the village, so you will need to
rescue
him. When you get there, defeat the two officers and find the handmaiden to
rescue Adou, then return to Liu Bei. On your return, you'll be ambushed in the
eastern fort, so defeat the officer and then return to the bridge.

Liu Bei will resume his march, but is eventually blocked by an ambush. Don't
go
towards it, but stay at the bridge and repel the forces that will now be
moving
towards it. There will be two waves of enemies, with the first consisting of
Li
Dian, Yue Jin and Xu Zhu. The second wave consists of Xiahou Dun, Zhang He and
Xiahou Yuan. Once you defeat the second set, start heading towards Liu Bei
along
the path chosen for you.
Once you get close enough to Liu Bei, another ambush will appear, with two
ballistas and an officer. You need to take out the ballistas as soon as
possible
to minimize the damage to the peasants, then you can worry about the officer.
With them gone, jump down and then Zhang Liao will appear, so take him out to
make Liu Bei pass through the gate and finish the battle.

.----------------------.
======| 6. Battle of Chibi |
'----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang

Cao Cao's forces will appear to the south at the beginning of the battle and
launch an assault on the altar where Zhuge Liang is located. You can quell the
assault by defeating the three officers that come along with it, one of which
is
Xiahou Dun. A second assault should be on its way now, which is a ship with
Sima
Yi approaching the altar from the west.

With him out of the way, Zhuge Liang is worried that Pang Tong is in danger,
so
board the ship to the south of the altar to make your way to Cao Cao's main
fleet. When you board the main fleet, head north to where Pang Tong is located
to rescue him by defeating Zhang Liao. Pang Tong notes that the linking of the
ships won't work until Xu Shu has been defeated, so head to his location to do
that.

The linked ships plan will now be put into action, as well as the fire attack,
making it so all of Cao Cao's ships are now ablaze. For now, just run around
and
defeat officers until you are told to go after Cao Pi. Once he's gone, start
picking apart the rest of the officers, slowly making your way towards Cao
Cao,
who will end up escaping to the south using his boat. Keep going and once you
catch up, defeat Zhang Liao and Xu Zhu to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| Both Hypothetical situations in this battle involve finding Xu Shu after the
|
| fire attack has succeeded. It's best to use Zhuge Liang in this battle, as
|
| getting the stars to hit with other characters can be kind of hit or miss.
|
| Carry out the battle like normal on your side, including defeating Xu Shu
|
| after rescuing Pang Tong. Eventually, Cao Cao will escape to the south using
|
| a boat and when that happens, Xu Shu will appear up north on the ships, so
|
| wait there until he does and eventually there will be a conversation, then
|
| he'll leave.

======| 7. Battle of Chengdu |
'------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Wei Yan, Xu Shu*

Your first goal in this battle is to capture Mianzhu Garrison and Fu Castle,
which are the two bases on the southern side of the map. There will be a few
officers in the way before Mianzhu, so take them out and then the officer
inside
to capture it. Do the same thing with Fu Castle to capture it, although make
sure you defeat Liu Jun, who will come slightly from the north to go after
Mianzhu.

Note that Pang Tong will likely be injured by the ambush, if you're not
playing
as him. Either way, some officers will make their way from the western path,
so
stick around in the center to take care of them. After that, your next target
is
to capture Luo Castle, so head there and take out the officers inside to make
it
yours.

Whenever Liu Bei gets to the central garrison, an ambush will be launched and
the gates closed. If you are outside of the garrison, you will need to circle
around and drop in from the north. If you go around the right side, defeat the
other ambush troops to lower the drawbridge to make Shu reinforcements come.
Once they do arrive, they will bring catapults to knock open the main gate to
Chengdu.

When you arrive inside of Chengdu, both Ma Chao and Ma Dai will appear. Do
battle with them and upon their defeat, they will join your army. This will
cause panic inside of Chengdu and the gates will open. Defeat all of the
officers that get in your way, then head to Liu Zhang to fight. Once Liu Zhang
is done for, the battle will be over.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| Both Hypothetical situations in this battle involve Pang Tong, and it makes
|
| it a lot easier to use him. When you are asked to take the easternmost path,
|
| don't as when you get to the one area, you will be ambushed and you will
|
| fail, making it so you have to start again. Instead, take the northern of
|
| the two eastern paths and inside the first garrison, you'll find a ladder on
|
| the east side, leading up to a ledge. Climb it and you'll force Zhang Ran to
|
| spawn. Defeat him and the ambush will be defeated, making it so Pang Tong
|
| will make it through the entire battle alive.

'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.----------------------------.
======| 8. Battle of Mt. Dingjun |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang Tong*

You'll need to wait a little bit in order for the gates to open, so you can
start the battle. Your first order of business is to capture the two bases at
the foot of Mt. Dingjun, which is easily done by defeating the officers inside
of them. Note that near the beginning of the battle, there will be ballistae
placed near the foot of Mt. Dingjun, so if you happen to approach it, be
careful
of them.

Zhuge Liang will chime in and say the enemy is only facing forward and it's a
good idea to capture Mt. Tiandang, which is in the northwest corner of the
map.
Follow the west side of the map, taking out any officers along the way, which
includes Xu Huang and Wang Yi. At the top, fight and defeat Zhang He to
capture
Mt. Tiandang.

Climb the stairs and you should see a marked circle on the ground. Stand
inside
of it and press the button to make your character automatically head down the
hill and land inside Mt. Dingjun. Once you're inside, there will be a few
officers in the way, including Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai. Defeating
them will let you capture the place.

With Mt. Dingjun finally in your hands, all that is left is to go and defeat
Cao
Cao. Note that upon exiting Dingjun, you might want to go around and destroy
the
ballistae that were placed at the beginning of the battle. There should be a
garrison to the south of Cao Cao's, so go there to find a few officers, then
head to Cao Cao to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to defeat Cao Xiu and win the battle in order to get this star. Cao
|
| Xiu is not on the battlefield in the beginning, but will appear as
|
| reinforcements later on. He appears on the eastern side of the map, so when
|
| he does show up, head over there and take him out quickly.

'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

======| 9. Battle of Fan Castle |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Suo, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, Guan Yu

At the beginning of the battle, just concentrate on clearing the area of

enemies
right outside the castle. Whenever you see that Wei's flood attack has
succeeded, you'll be told to head to the escape point in the southeast corner.
On the way there, an ambush will appear and you will need to defeat Niu Jun to
make every continue withdrawing.

Around this time, Guan Ping will die in battle and the victory conditions will
change. Either way, continue to the southeast corner, where a bunch of Wu
officers will appear, including Lu Xun and Lu Meng. If you have the Rage meter
filled, now would be a good time to utilize it. Note that while you're
fighting
here, the others will likely have begun moving to the west, as a new escape
point will appear in the southwest.

The only problem is that when your allies reach the gate, it will shut and Mi
Fang will betray you. In order to open the gate, you'll need to defeat both Mi
Fang and Fu Shiren. You now need to start advancing to the north and get to
the
western checkpoint to escape. On the way, Wei will have an ambush waiting,
which
includes some ballistae and some officers approaching from the south.

Defeat them all so you can continue, when Xiahou Dun will appear and shut the
northern checkpoint gate. Get rid of all the officers that have shown to open
the gate, then continue southward. Cao Ren will have sealed off the escape
point, so take him out to put an end to this battle.

.-------------------------.
======| 10H. Battle of Yiling |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Yun

Don't go too far from where you begin the battle, as Liu Bei will disappear
near
the start and go into the forest alone. Follow him and not far in, a Wu ambush
will happen, so defeat the officer and then continue to the intersection. The
gates will closeand the only path you can go is north. Another ambush will
happen the base there, so defeat the officers and then you'll find Liu Bei is
currently fighting with Lu Xun.

Defeat Lu Xun to make Zhuge Liang regroup with Liu Bei and convince him to
retreat. Follow Liu Bei along and he'll stop every time he comes across an
officer, so you will need to defeat them to make him continue his march. When
you get to the southwest corner, Liu Bei will stop and you will need to defeat
Gan Ning in order to make him start moving again. He is on top of the one
walkway, with all of the ballistae, which can't be destroyed but will stop
once
Gan Ning is gone.

Continue to follow Liu Bei on the path until another ambush appears. To make
Liu
Bei continue moving, you will need to defeat both Ling Tong and Xue Zong. Liu
Bei will continue to make his way to the escape point, but there will be one
last ambush in the way before he can finally escape. Zhou Tai will appear and
once you defeat him, Liu Bei will have a clear path to escape and finish the
battle.

.---------------------------.
======| 11H. Battle of Tianshui |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Liu Shan, Xingcai, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang

Start the battle by going to the first base and capturing it by defeating the
officer there. Wait until Zhao Yun announces himself, which will make all of
the
enemy come to him, letting the main forces concentrate on going to Tianshui
Castle. However, on the way will be an ambush, so take them out and continue
to
another ambush, this time with some ballistae. Destroy those first and then
take
out the officers that are there.

Once they are gone, there will be a short scene where Jiang Wei will appear.
Defeat him and he will temporarily retreat, where he will head towards Andang.
The game tells you to capture it before Jiang Wei reaches it, but it is quite
difficult to do and if you don't, three pyrocannons will spawn.

The next event is the same thing, but with Nan'an Castle. You can't directly
go
to the castle and capture it, as you need to go after the garrison a little to
the south to set up some siege weapons. When you capture the garrison, a
batterin ram appears, but Pan Sui will activate some ballistae nearby.
Defeating
Pan Sui will deactivate the ballistae, so go ahead and do that.

As before, there isn't too much of a difference whether you don't make it in
time or not. Once you capture Nan'an, Ma Zun will opt to try and escape from
Tianshui, so head over there. Capture Tianshui by defeating Xiahou Mao, then
defeat Ma Zun once the gates open. After that, all that is left is to take
down
the isolated Jiang Wei to finish the battle.

.--------------------------.
======| 12H. Battle of Jieting |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Xing, Jiang Wei, Yueying, Zhang Bao

Ma Su has stationed himself at the top of the summit, but this has caused him
to
be surrounded by Wei's troops. The only way up to where he is located is the
eastern path, as all other routes have been blocked by boulders. As soon as
you
set foot on the unblocked path, two enemy officers will ambush you and you
need
to defeat both.
Keep moving along and at the end of the path, some ballistae will spawn.
Destroy
them and the officer, then move along the center road. Your objective at the
moment is to go to each allied officer and defeat the enemy one that is
fighting
him. There are three that are in trouble and upon defeating that officer, they
will retreat back to the main camp.

Once you rescue the three, continue climbing up the mountain and when you pass
through the next garrison, it will close and ambush troops will appear. Take
them up and continue to where Ma Su, who should have Zhang He closing in on
him
now. When you reach him, take out the officers harassing him and that should
rescue him.

It's now time to escape with Ma Su, but things won't be as easy as just
running
away. Wei's secondary force will be hot on your heels and there will be plenty
of ambushes on the way, including Guo Huai and some other officers. Keep going
until you reach Shu's main camp, where all you'll need to do is defeat Sima
Zhao
and Sima Shi to make Ma Su escape and finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| In order to unlock 12H-X. Battle of Chencang, you need to rescue Ma Su
|
| before he is trapped. You need to be sort of fast, but if you follow all of
|
| the pre-scripted events leading up to Zhang He trapping Ma Su, you should be
|
| fine. When you see Zhang He mention something like "They're trying to rescue
|
| these eyesores," then hurry up and defeat all officers up to where Ma Su is
|
| located. When you get to him, you have to defeat Zhang He and Cao Xiu to
|
| finally rescue him.
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.-----------------------------.
======| 12H-X. Battle of Chencang |
'-----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Xing, Xingcai, Zhang Bao

Your first duty in this stage is to escort the siege ramps to their
destination,
but not too far into the battle, Wei soldiers will begin dropping boulders
from
atop the castle and there will be plenty of ballistae that appear, too. You
need
to use the catapults that show up to try and destroy the ballistae, but
they're
likely going to be destroyed before you get the chance to.
If you keep waiting, eventually an underground passage will present itself
that
will lead to the castle's interior. A secondary unit, which consists of
Xingcai
if you're playing as her, will need to head inside and capture the castle's
armory. Otherwise, just stick to the outside and take out all of the
reinforcements that get sent at Shu's forces.

Once the secondary force takes the armory, the siege weapons on top of the
castle's walls will cease functioning. This will make your own siege weapons
break through the castle's walls, allowing access to the inside. As you
approach
the commander, Zhang He will show up, so take him out and then go after the
commander to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| There will be enemy ambush troops at one point that will injure Zhang Bao,
|
| who will end up dying from it. This can be a tricky one to get, as there's
|
| no clear indication on how to get it. It's best to play as Zhang Bao and
|
| follow the battle until you break into the castle. Now, DO NOT enter the
|
| main gates and into the small room on the map, as that is where the ambush
|
| happens.
|
|
|
| Instead, take one of the catapults and bring it inside the courtyard area.
|
| There is a cracked wall on the west side that can be destroyed, allowing you
|
| access inside without triggering the ambush. Go into one of the side rooms
|
| to spot the ambush troops. Defeat the both and then finish the battle.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.-------------------------------------.
======| 13H. Battle of the Wuzhang Plains |
'-------------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jiang Wei, Ma Dai, Wei Yan, Xingcai

As you approach the open area ahead, ballistae on the cliff to the east will
begin firing, as well as archers to the west. You will need to defeat all of
the
officers in the area in order to make Wei retreat, which will grant you access
to the east and west sides near paths that lead to the main camp. If you're
playing as Jiang Wei or Ma Dai, then use the ladders to the west; if you're
either of the other two officers, go through the eastern garrison.
Go through whichever side you're on until you break through the defenses,
which
will trigger some trash-talking. This will cause Guo Huai and Zhuge Dan to
come
forth and challenge your own officers, so defeat the one on your side and the
other should fall as well. Zhuge Liang has a plan to fake his own death and
temporarily withdraws from the battlefield, with Shu forces retreating to
their
main camp.

This makes Sima Yi actually think Zhuge Liang has died and he sends officers
in
pursuit. Make sure that Wu Ban isn't defeated at this time, as he is the
commander of your forces. Defeat the pursuing officers and Sima Yi will send
out
messengers for reinforcements to the east and west, so if you can intercept
them, it will mean less officers you might have to take out.

At this time, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao will both open the main gates and make
their way towards the Shu main camp. This will turn the central area into a
nice
big gathering of enemy officers, so make sure you go around and get them all.
Eventually, Xiahou Ba will spawn to the east where the reinforcements came
from,
so stick around if you are finished to take him down. All that's left is to
make
your way to Sima Yi and finish him off to complete the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| This is one of the harder stars to get, simply because there are two
|
| objectives on opposite sides of the map. At one point in the battle,
|
| messengers will appear that go to specific points to call in reinforcements.
|
| There are only two, but you need to defeat both of them to get this star. It
|
| might be easier to use Wei Yan for this one. You will likely need three
|
| Musou bars for this, so come back if you don't have them yet.
|
|
|
| Begin the battle like normal and follow the orders given. When Wei Yan calls
|
| Sima Yi a coward, Zhuge Liang will make you retreat, but don't listen to
|
| this mission. Instead, Sima Yi will send troops after you, so stick around
|
| and defeat them all. Once you do, the messengers will appear for the
|
| reinforcements. Defeat the one in the northeast corner, then use the Musou
|
| with the horse to reach the other messenger faster. If you get both, then
|
| the cutscene at the end of the battle will be slightly longer.

======| 9W. Battle of Fan Castle |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Suo, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, Guan Yu

Completing this stage will start you on the Hypothetical route for Shu. In
order
to unlock the option, you must get all of the stars on the stages prior to
this
one on the stage select screen. Once you do, talk to Xu Shu in the camp to
start
the battle.

Xu Shu's first task for you at the beginning of the battle is to capture the
northern garrison, which is easily done by defeating the officer up there.
This
will cause some siege ramps to appear, so follow them to where they will be
set
up. Climb one of them and make your way to the floodgates, where you need to
defeat Pang De to make sure the enemy doesn't use a flood attack.

The enemy troops in the middle of the map will start advancing and go after
Guan
Yu. Go and help him with the officers that come after him, which will cause Wu
forces to appear in the southeast corner. Head that way, noting that some of
the
Wu officers will try to run past you, so make sure you defeat them before they
get away.

The other Wu officers, which include Lu Su and Lu Xun will remain in the
southeast corner, so head there and clear the area. At this time, Xiahou Dun
will appear in the southwest and start heading for the floodgates. Move as
fast
as possible to the northwest corner to cut him off, noting that there will be
other officers with him. It's a straight shot to Cao Ren after this, whose
defeat will end the battle.

.------------------------.
======| 10W. Battle of Lukou |
'------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Xing, Xingcai, Zhang Bao, Zhuge Liang

At the beginning of the battle, start off by heading to the highlighted area
and
defeat the officer inside of the garrison. At the next garrison, Lu Fan will
appear and you need to take him out, as he's a fire attack unit. It will be
mentioned that Lu Xun is in the central garrison, but there seems to be two
areas of suspicious activity around, so go to those two areas first.

When you go to the suspicious areas, you will find two more fire attack units
just like the first one. With them out of the way, you can go into the central
garrison now and defeat the ambush unit that appears to capture it. The
objective now is to lure Lu Xun into the central garrison, which will make Shu
set it ablaze.

Lu Xun withdraws upon defeat, as well as the soldiers, who use a ladder. Climb
it to trigger an ambush with two officers, which must both be defeated to cut
off the Wu's attack route. Lu Meng should now show up to the west, but a
frontal
attack is against orders, as there's a back path that is suggested to use. You
don't need to defeat any of the enemies here, so just breeze past all of them.

Once you make it to Lu Meng, he'll be surprised and you need to take him out
in
order to fulfill the plan. It's now time for the final push, which is to take
out Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Ding Feng and Lu Su. The first two will likely charge
to your position, so defeat them as they appear, then take out Ding Feng to
open
up the gates to the main camp. Take down Lu Su to put an end to the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to see through and break Lu Xun and Lu Meng's ploy in this battle
|
| to get the star. This isn't too bad, as Zhuge Liang says everything you need
|
| to do. The only tricky spot is the final trick up their sleeves, when Lu
|
| Lu Meng is in the southwest corner. You have to catch up to him here and
|
| defeat him within 2 minutes, otherwise, he will set up some siege weapons
|
| and you will fail the bonus objective. You don't have to take out anyone on
|
| the path leading to Lu Meng, so just rush past them.

NOTE--------------------------------------'

======| 11W. Ambush at Chang'an |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Ma Chao, Pang Tong, Wei Yan, Xu Shu

The Handmaiden before the battle will mention her little sister being held
captive by Xiahou Mao, which is going to be your first true objective. Clear
out
the first area and then approach the handmaiden to make her open the door.
Head
to the left once inside and clear out all of the officers, including Zhang He,
who will free the little sister.

She will open the path going forward, which will cause Xiahou Mao to retreat,
leaving behind Cai Wenji for you to battle with, so take her out to get out of
the area. While this is all going on, Jiang Wei will show up with Ma Zun, but
Xiahou Mao is becoming suspicious of him. Follow the path that will lead
straight to Jiang Wei, clearing the ambushes that he springs on you.

Defeating Jiang Wei will cause him to retreat to the southeast corner, but
before heading over there, you will need to take out Ma Zun to truly isolate
him. Once Ma Zun is out of the picture, head to the outside area and go south
to
find a small path that will lead to Jiang Wei. There are a few traps along the
way, which shouldn't be much trouble. Defeat Jiang Wei and he will join Shu
after a short scene.

In order to reach Xiahou Mao, you need to capture the armory, which will grant
you access to a bridgelayer. Jiang Wei will open the gates for you, so defeat
the officer inside to capture the armory. As soon as you do, Yue Jin and Li
Dian
will appear just to the south of it, so take them out in order to let the
bridgelayer reach its destination.

When you cross the newly formed bridge, Wang Yi and Xu Huang appear, so take
them out. Around this time, Xiahou Mao will likely have left the battlefield,
but if you're quick enough, you can get him. Either way, the true commander of
the battlefield will be Guo Jia, but he also has Guo Huai as his helper
nearby.
Defeat Guo Jia to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| In order to unlock 11W-X. Pacification of Nanzhong, you will need to defeat
|
| Xiahou Mao. The problem is that it's at the end of the stage and he will
|
| retreat before you likely get to him. Towards the end, you recruit Jiang Wei
|
| to your forces and he helps create a bridge across to where Xiahou Mao is.
|
| Once the bridge is finished, you need to hurry and defeat Xiahou Mao, as he
|
| will retreat and leave the battle.

'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.-----------------------------------.
======| 11W-X. Pacification of Nanzhong |
'-----------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Bao Sanniang, Guan Ping, Guan Suo, Guan Yinping

Note that you cannot use your horse at all in this battle. At the start of the
battle, just fight what's in front of you until Meng Huo decides to shut the
northern garrison. Defeat him to open the gates again and then head west to
meet
up with Yueying. Take out the two officers nearby to make her send some
Juggernauts to the central garrison.

Go to the central garrison and defeat all of the tigers in front, which will
make King Mulu come after you. Once you defeat him, start heading to the east
until Jinhuan Sanjie uses a boulder to block your path. Go all the way to the
west and take the narrow path, making sure to avoid stepping in the poisonous
swamp.

As you start traversing the western path, Zhurong will ambush you from behind.
Defeat her and then continue going east until you can drop down into the area
where Jinhuan Sanjie is located. Take him out and then grab one of the
elephants, backtrack to destroy the boulders. Now, start making your way to
the
main camp, only to have Meng Huo appear once again on the next path.

Once Meng Huo has been defeated again, he'll retreat back into the main camp.
As
you go south to the last path, one of the officers will cause a rockslide.
Slither your way past the boulders and then take down Ahui Nan to stop the
rocks. At this time, Zhurong will appear once again slightly to the east, so
make sure to take her out as well. All that's left is to head into the main
camp
and take out Meng Huo, making sure to keep an eye out for Zhurong, who will
appear one last time.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| Zhurong will appear three times throughout the battle, and you must defeat
|
| her all three times to get the star. Note that the last time she appears is
|
| with Meng Huo in their main camp, so make sure you defeat her before Meng
|
| Huo, as the battle will end.

======| 12W. Invasion of Luoyang |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guan Xing, Jiang Wei, Ma Dao, Zhang Bao

For the beginning, just keep going forward until you come to the designated
spot, only to have the gates closed and an ambush happen to the south of them.
Defeat Man Chong nearby and then continue north to find another ambush.
Continue
forward to the seemingly dead end, which will open up the next area that has
an
ambush waiting for you.

After defeating the ambush, go north and follow the path through the northwest
door, which will close with an ambush behind you. Defeat the two officers
there
and keep going to the main hallway where Jia Xu is located. When you get to
him,
yet another ambush will happen. Clear everything out, including Jia Xu, who
will
withdraw. Go out the eastern gate and meet back up with Guan Xing.

On the easternmost path will be Sima Zhao and upon taking him out, the bridge
behind him will lower. Go south and then west to encounter a lot of officers,
including Sima Yi, Wang Yuanji, Sima Shi and even Jia Xu, who has reappeared.
Defeating Jia Xu will make the main gate to Cao Pi open, who has Zhenji by his
side. Take out Cao Pi to finish the battle.

.-----------------------.
======| 13W. Capture of Wei |
'-----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Liu Bei, Liu Shan, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang

Start the battle by heading east and going towards the two highlighted spots,
which are reinforcement points. Take out the officer at both of these points
to
seal off reinforcements for Wei. With that out of the way, just continue
advancing through the castle. If you're in the southern area of the castle,
archers will appear you'll need to get on top of the wall to take them out.

If you are going through the northern area, you'll eventually come upon an
area
where arbalests will be activated. Ladders will be placed throughout the area,
which will allow you to get behind the arbalests to destroy them. There will
be
sets of archers guarding them. Destroy all of the arbalests to make a
gatekeeper
appear, which leads to an arena-type area with Zhang Liao, Yue Jin and Li
Dian.

Defeat them all and then head south. There will be a trap here, which are
statues that spit fire, but they can't be destroyed by normal means. However,
two Juggernauts will appear just outside of the room, which will allow you to
destroy them. Once they're all gone, the gate to the next area will open.

In this area, you need to defeat both Jia Xu and Wang Yi in order to open the
Outer Castle gates. Go inside and the gates will close, with an ambush
appearing
that has Xiahou Dun. With him out of the way, the main forces for Wei will
appear in the next area, although the officers will appear before the main
gate,
who are Sima Yi, Cao Pi and Zhenji. Defeat them all to open the way to Cao
Cao,
who will be your last opponent in the battle.

======| 1. Escape from Luoyang |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan

When you finally gain control of your character, go forward and take out Li
Meng
to open the gate. One thing you shouldn't do is even get close to Lu Bu, as
he'll likely be way too strong and will kick your butt before you say his
name.
The next officer, Li Jue, will open the next gate, which lead to some
underground stairs.

Follow the path until you come out again, where you see a message about a gate
closing. Defeat Xu Rong and then find the opening where you can jump down to
the
area below. There will be four ballistas here that will keep firing upon you
until you defeat Chen Gong, so make sure you concentrate on him.

As you approach the next area, you'll see Diao Chan chime in and say she will
help you escape from the battlefield. Before you can do that, you'll need to
defeat three officers in the next area. Once you do, follow Diao Chan until
you
get to a bridge. When it's lowered, Zhang Liao and Li Su will both appear, so
defeat them both and then the path to the escape point will be clear.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| The Hypothetical situation in this battle requires you to defeat Lu Bu
|
| before you escape, which can be a tough thing to do considering he can kill
|
| you very easily if you're low level. It also doesn't help that he doesn't
|
| flinch when being hit, either, even if you have an advantage over him with
|
| your weapon affinity, although you should still have it.
|
|
|
| When you start, you could go straight after Lu Bu, but it's best to wait and
|
| come back at a later point once you level up some. During the actual battle,
|
| do it normally to build up a Musou Attack or two to help out in defeating
|
| him. If you feel like he is going to attack, move away from him. If you have
|
| that much trouble doing it, then set the difficulty to Beginnger before
|
| starting the battle.

======| 2. Battle of Hulao Gate |
 '---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Yue Jin

At the beginning of the battle, go down any of the paths for now. Your goal
will
be to get to the area in the southeast corner, which is the supply depot.
Clear
the area of officers, then Yuan Shu will begin moving to where Sun Jian is
located. However, Hua Xiong appears at one of the bases near your position,
but
be careful as he is slightly stronger than the other officers so far.

Once Sun Jian receives his provisions, Si Shui Gate will open and you can
progress farther. As you approach the next gate, archers will fire arrows down
from above, so watch your health if it's low and take out the gatekeeper and
then the officer behind him. To get to the area where the officer is located
that will stop the arrows, use the stairs and jump down.

Go south and now Zhang Liao will appear, with him being slightly stronger than
the usual officer in this stage (like with Hua Xiong). Don't bother with the
ballistas in the next area and instead go up the hill, opening the next gate.
Inside, defeat the officer and then do the same with Jia Xu after that.

Do not drop down to the next area, as you need to use the ballista that is
just
past Jia Xu to destroy the two catapults to each side of Hulao Gate. Lu Bu
will
now appear and it's best to leave him alone, unless you have powered up some.
You should see Diao Chan up ahead and while she's not powerful, fighting her
will make Lu Bu try and come to her aid, so it's best to just go right past
her.

The final gate is guarded by an officer, so defeat him and it will open. Dong
Zhuo will set fire to the entire next area, including the area you have to
fight
him. This will cause your health to stay at half of its max no matter how many
pickups you get. Go through the winding path and then confront Dong Zhuo to
finish the battle.

.-----------------------------.
======| 3. Battle of Yan Province |
'-----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Dian Wei, Li Dian, Yue Jin

Go forward and start taking out the Yellow Turbans in front of you, including
one officer and then a man named ??? (who is really Xu Zhu, if you have never
played a game in this series before). He will temporarily withdraw and you
will
need to find him. The game tells you to search the western garrison first, so
head there.

When you go inside, the gates will shut and you'll find out he isn't in this
one. You will need to go and investigate the northeastern garrison, so start
heading to the west and go through the middle, defeating the officers in the
way. When you reach it, there will be no big man and you'll have to face off
against another officer.
You find out that the remaining forces are in the northwestern garrison, so
start heading in that direction. When you get to the garrison, you will have
to
fight one remaining officer. The battle seems to be over, until the big man
from
earlier returns. Defeat him and the battle will truly be over.

.----------------------------.
======| 4. Battle of Xu Province |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Ren, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu

Follow the path, defeating the officers in the way, until you get to the north
part of the spiral, where the enemy will start dropping boulders. Also, the
enemy will start using catapults along the southwest corner of the spiral, so
keep going around until you eventually get to that spot.

When you do get to the catapults, take out the officer and then drive one of
them to the northern part of the spiral. Here, you need to shoot a boulder at
the dragon heads that are dropping boulders you saw before. There should be
three of them, and it might take a while to adjust the catapult's marker to
hit
the heads.

Now you need to go back south and then east, fighting your way up the east
side,
but don't go in between the two garrisons there, as it's a trap. Instead, go
to
the southeast corner and you should see a path not visibly marked on your map.
Follow it until you get to a camp and take out the officer and base captain
there to capture it.

Doing this will make Tao Qian retreat farther into the castle. At this time,
you
should be asked to defeat Lu You and Cao Bao, who come from side rooms in the
castle. Also, Liu Bei's forces should now have arrived, which will trigger Tao
Qian to set the castle on fire. Another thing is that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun
will begin their trek to Cao Cao's main camp.

Start heading west through the castle and defeat the officer in the way,
opening
the gate. You should definitely head towards your main camp and take out Zhang
Fei and Zhao Yun, who are certainly capable and defeating Cao Cao, thus making
you fail. If you do that, though, you're going to have a long trek back to the
path that leads towards the northwest corner.

Head into the northern garrison, only to have the doors shut on you. Two
officers will ambush you, so try to take them both out before continuing. Once
you do, start heading west and on the winding path that leads to the final
area
where Liu Bei is located. When you get there, you'll find that Guan Yu is also
there, who will get stronger and refill his health if it gets low enough.
Defeat
Liu Bei to finish the battle.
.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| In order to unlock the next stage, 4-X - Battle of Puyang, you need to
|
| defeat Tao Qian before he manages to reach the escape point. This can be one
|
| of the more annoying ones to get, since the time restraint doesn't leave
|
| much room for error. You're going to want at least two or even all three
|
| Musou bars. DO NOT waste your Musou on any officers, and save it until you
|
| get to the third paragraph.
|
|
|
| Follow the stage normally until you get to right outside the castle where
|
| Tao Qian is located. It doesn't matter if you disrupt the pincer attack or
|
| let it happen, but as soon as the gate opens, the battle will enter a
|
| frantic state. Every officer you face between you and Tao Qian doe snot need
|
| to be defeated, so if you can pass one up, do that.
|
|
|
| Once you get to the open area that is outside the castle that he sets fire
|
| to, use your Musou bars while on the horse to move quickly. There will be a
|
| point or two where you will be trapped and have to defeat an officer, so
|
| don't waste your Musou if you know you won't get anywhere. If you don't get
|
| to Tao Qian by the time you're right outside of where Liu Bei is located,
|
| then you aren't going to reach him in time.

NOTE--------------------------------------'

======| 4-X. Battle of Puyang |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Yue Jin

Your first order of business is to rescue Xun Yu in Juan Castle, which is on

the
east side of the map. Along the way, some reinforcements will show up, so take
them all out and then use the wooden walkway to get to the castle. Out front
is
Zhang Liao, who is guarding the gate. Upon his defeat, the gate will open and
you will rescue Xun Yu.
As it now stands, Lu Bu has taken over Puyang and you'll need to fight your
way
back to the other side of the map. When you get to the northern bridge, the
garrison's gates will close and Lu Bu's forces will destroy the bridge. On top
of that, an ambush will be sprung, so defeat the officer and start making your
way to the southern bridge.

When you get to it, an ambush will appear and the gates will be closed. Once
you
clear the officers, it is suggested to you to make your way along the southern
path to make it into Puyang, so exit east and start going along that southern
path. Along the way will be a few officers and then Zhang Liao outside the
southwestern checkpoint.

After you take him down, start heading north to Puyang. As you come around to
the front, defeat the officer in the way to open up the gates to get inside
Puyang. You'll eventually arrive in the room with Lu Bu and Diao Chan. Note
that
if you defeat Diao Chan first, then Lu Bu will recover all his health and
become
stronger. Defeating Lu Bu will end the battle.

.----------------------.
======| 5. Imperial Escort |
'----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Cao, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang

Start the battle by going forward and taking out any officers that are in
range.
Eventually, the carriage will turn around and you'll need to go and catch up
to
it, which will cause Guo Si to appear, so defeat him to make the carriage go
the
right way again. Continue taking out any other officers until you get to the
right side of the fork.

You should also be getting messages about Yuan Shu's men appearin at the
byroad,
which is the southern checkpoint. Taking out the officer and base captain
there
will put a stop to more men appearing. Go to the locked gate and take out Yuan
Shu to make it open, which will make the carriage carry on to its next stop.

When it does stop, it's because of boulders that start falling. About this
time,
Lu Bu will appear at a checkpoint behind the carriage and it's best to leave
him
alone, as he can defeat you rather quickly. Dodge the boulders and continue to
the designated spot, defeat all of the officers to eventually put a stop to
the
boulders.

Continue to the next area, where there's a fog, which will limit your in-
battle
map to the closer one. Also, the Emperor has been kidnapped from the carriage
and you need to find him. If you do find him, try and clear the area of
officers
before you meet up with him, as he will follow you around afterwards. Bring
him
to the escape point, where Zhang He and Yuan Shao will appear. Defeat them
both
to make the Emperor escape and finish the battle.

.---------------------------.
======| 6. Battle of Wan Castle |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Cao, Dian Wei

There will be fire throughout this battle, meaning your health will be lower
than normal. Defeat the first officer in the way, then follow the only path
you
can go. When you get into the long hallway, you will find some arbalests,
which
can be destroyed, so make sure you do that. Some more will be in the next
hallway, so take care of them as well as any other officers.

The next area will have dragon statues, which will trigger its fire-breathing
powers when you get close. One hit can destroy them, so go around to each one
and smack it to get rid of them. Once you destroy them all, the gate to the
next
area will open, where a bunch of unit commanders will appear. Defeat them all
to
open up the next gate.

This area will have some ballistas, which definitely can do some damage, so
either take out the officer controlling them, or go around and destroy all of
them. The next room has a wind trap, which will blow you off the path and into
the water below. A horse should be able to quickly traverse the path to reach
the unit commander, which must be defeated to open the gate.

In the next room, simply defeat the officer guarding the door to open it,
where
you'll be greeted with a cutscene. After it's over, take out all of the
officers
in the area, then head to the southwest corner. There are three garrisons in
the
southwest corner of the map, with each one containing a hidden ambush should
you
happen to step inside them. There are reinforcements that are on the way and
it's your job to get rid of all three hidden ambushes in the garrisons before
they arrive.

If you do the above, then Zhang Xiu will appear inside of the castle, as well
as
a bunch of other officers. Take out the ones near the garrisons, and some
other
ones will likely come to your position. Once you clear the area, start heading
to the main area in the northwest, which is where Jia Xu is located. Defeating
both Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu will result in a victory.
.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| There are three stars from this battle and it is best to play as Dian Wei.
|
| Not far into the battle, a fire attack will occur that will severely limit
|
| the health of Cao Ang and Cao Anmin. If you fail to save them, then the
|
| Battle of Xiapi will unlock. However, if you would like to save them, then
|
| you will need to be very quick in getting to them and defeating the officers
|
| that are harassing them.
|
|
|
| Playing as Dian Wei seems to make it much easier for him to survive the
|
| battle, although it's not entirely clear the path to follow. It seems that
|
| rescuing Cao Ang and Cao Anmin might be a prerequisite. Once you make it
|
| outside the castle, fulfill all of the missions given, making sure you try
|
| and defeat everyone yourself.

'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.------------------------.
======| 6-X. Battle of Xiapi |
'------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xiahou Dun

Go forward from the beginning of the stage and open the first gate to the
east,
which prompts a Messenger to appear and start heading to the northeast corner.
Defeat the officer in that garrison to open the next gate, then start heading
towards the messenger. If you catch up to him before he passes through the
next
gate, then it should be easy to kill him and continue your plans in silence.
Otherwise, things get hairy and more enemies will show up.

With the messenger hopefully defeated, head back to the green highlighted area
and defeat the unit commander to lower the drawbridge. Start heading west
after
crossing the bridge and defeat the officer inside the garrison to continue
your
way. There will be ballistae in the next area, which is highly annoying while
trying to take out the officer there. Your best bet is to keep running until
you're underneath them, then continue to the right to get out of their range.

Zang Ba is the one controlling the ballistae, so go the next garrison only to
have the gates be closed. An ambush unit with archers will appear, so take
them
out and then the gates will open once again. Go and take out Zang Ba to cease
the ballista fire, then take out any other officers that might show up. If
your
unit has reached the floodgates, then Xiapi will be flooded. If he hasn't,
then
clear the area surrounding Xiapi until he does.

When the castle is flooded, a messenger will be sent out to go to the

northwest
corner and try to get some reinforcements. You should be in good position to
intercept him, so do that to make sure none will arrive. All that's left now
is
to head inside Xiapi and go after Lu Bu, so go ahead and do that. If you
defeat
Diao Chan before Lu Bu, then he will become enraged and be tougher to defeat.
The stage will end with his body on the floor.

.-----------------------.
======| 7. Battle of Guandu |
'-----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Pi, Dian Wei*, Guo Jia, Yue Jin

Start off the battle by heading north and capturing the garrison right outside
of your main camp. Now, all of the attention will be on you, so wait right
outside of the garrison and take out all of the officers that show up. If
Baima
and Yanjin are not captured yet, assist in their takeover and return to the
west
side. If they have, stay put on the west side of the battlefield.

Note that after the above two have fallen into your hands, enemy units will
likely come and try to take them away. One of these is Liu Bei and Zhang Fei,
but they won't stick around for long because of Guan Yu returning to them and
then leaving the battlefield. The officers defending the areas should be more
than enough so that you won't need to back them up.

Xu You will end up defecting not too long after your plan has come to
fruition,
with him mentioning that the Wuchao Supply Depot should be set ablaze. This
causes a fire attack unit to appear, which must be escorted to its target.
Kill
any officers in the way and once the fire attack succeeds, Zhang He will
defect
to your side, opening up the gate that leads into Guandu.

For now, fight your way through the castle until you get to the gate of the
main
room where Yuan Shao is located. Here you'll find Zhenji and upon defeating
her,
she will defect and join Wei. This will open the main room with Yuan Shao, so
just defeat him to finally finish the battle.

.----------------------------.
======| 8. Battle of Mt. Bailang |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Cao, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao
As the battle begins, your first goal will be
the foot of Mt. Bailang. There are a total of
guarded
by a gatekeeper, which will open the gate for
defeating the officer inside will capture the
revealed to capture the bases at
6 of them and each one is
each one. Once they are open,
base.

Once you get all six, you'll be tasked with going up the eastern side of the
map
and attacking the northern enemy base from behind. Chen Lin will likely begin
his trek towards Cao Cao's main camp, but you should be passing him up along
the
same path, so take him out. Also, wolves will appear inside of the caves, but
they shouldn't be any real trouble, so either kill or ignore them.

Go through the base up top, defeating the officer to open the gate that will
lead to the targeted base. Jump down into it and then defeat Yuan Tan, which
will open all of the central base gates. Go down the middle path and defeat
Yuan
Xi, who is the second Yuan. When you reach the second east-west corridors,
you'll find that they are secret passages to the bases with the remaining
Yuan.

It should be at about this time that some reinforcements will show up, but you
should only have one Yuan remaining. Take the secret passage and take out the
gatekeeper to open the gate, allowing you access to the base. There should
only
be the Yuan there, so he should be easy to take out. The battle is over once
all
three Yuans are gone.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| In order to get both stars on this stage, you need to make sure that Guo Jia
|
| survives. Despite the descriptions saying he needs to withdraw, he will
|
| likely stay on the battlefield, even if you fulfill the conditions. Follow
|
| the stage like normal, capturing the bases at the beginning. Once he starts
|
| talking about defeating the Yuan brother, ignore his mission and follow him
|
| as he goes along the eastern path through the caves. Guard him from any
|
| attacks and ambushes, including the Wuchuan reinforcements later in the
|
| battle.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.----------------------.
======| 9. Battle of Xinye |
'----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guo Jia*, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Zhang He
Your primary goal at the beginning of the battle is to try to get inside the
Eight Gates Formation and rescue Cao Ren before he is defeated. The only
problem
is that the entrance moves around, so stick to the northeast corner until you
see the message that the formation has moved. Find the entrance and head
inside,
following the targeted marks.

Each time you get to the designated area, an officer or two will spawn, so
quickly take them out before moving on to the next. If you can make it to the
center and rescue Cao Ren, that'll be good but more than likely not, you won't
make it on your first attempt at this battle, meaning Cao Ren will perish.

A secondary goal not marked for you is to go after Zhao Yun and Guan Ping, who
are the reason that Cao Ren was defeated. After that, they will head straight
to
Cao Cao's main camp, meaning he'll be in danger. Your actual goal is to go
after
Xu Shu, who is near one of the southern exits of the Eight Gates Formation.

Defeating him will make him your captive, so continue on across either of the
bridges to the south to make your way towards Liu Bei's camp. You'll encounter
both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei here, so try and either separate them or go all
out,
as they can be troublesome together. All that is left is to make your way to
Liu
Bei and take him out to finish.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| Before you rescue Cao Ren inside the formation, you need to defeat Xu
|
| Shu, who is located in the southeast corner of the formation. For this, you
|
| need to be quick, as Cao Ren will be stuck fighting Zhao Yun and Guan Ping,
|
| making it very easy for him to perish on harder difficulties. There is a
|
| little bit of confusion as to the exact requirements, as the game sometimes
|
| doesn't trigger the fulfillment, despite getting to Xu Shu in time. One
|
| theory is that you need to defeat all other officers inside the formation
|
| before Xu Shu, excluding Zhao Yun and Guan Ping. Either way, once you defeat
|
| Xu Shu, go and rescue Cao Ren to get the star.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.-----------------------.
======| 10. Battle of Chibi |
'-----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Cao, Dian Wei*, Xu Zhu, Zhang Liao
Your first goal of the battle is to go north and defeat Sun Quan's assault
unit,
which is comprised of three officers. Not long into your mission, Cao Cao will
mention that southeasterly winds are blowing. This will trigger an event where
an enemy fire ship collides with your entire fleet, setting it all ablaze.
That
means that your health will be cut in half while you're on the ships.

Cao Cao now needs to get to safety by escaping to the south. This is
complicated
by Cai Mao defected to the enemy, but start making your way to the next rally
point, defeating officers in the way, which include the likes of Han Dang and
Huang Gai. Your goal is a small ship on the west side of the map, but you will
need to defeat Taishi Ci before you can board it.

Board the boat and Gan Ning will jump onto it, so you will need to defeat him
before you can set sail. As soon as you get to land, go forward to encounter
both Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang. Defeat them both and then you'll see Zhang
Fei
appear not much farther. Things get even more complicated as some of Sun
Quan's
forces appear to the south and start moving to your position.

You can either go back and take these forces out or continue north, where you
will be ambushed by a rock attack unit and some archers. Defeat the two
officers
there to eliminate both problems, then continue north to the escape point.
When
you get close, Zhao Yun will appear, so defeat him to open the gate and
finally
escape.

.----------------------------.
======| 11H. Battle of Tong Gate |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Wang Yi, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Zhu

Exit the camp and start taking out the enemies in front of it. Get the gates
to
the central garrison open and then defeat Yang Fu inside to complete the
mission. At this time, Cao Cao will begin moving up the east side of the map
to
meet with Han Sui, so you'll need to escort him there. Also, Xu Huang will now
begin defending the main camp and the victory/defeat conditions will change.

Keep following Cao Cao until Ma Dai appears, so take him out and then Cao Cao
will meet up with Han Sui. They go into a private room and Ma Chao wonders why
Han Sui isn't moving. This will trigger two sets of reinforcements of nothing
but normal soldiers on the east side, and it's your job to continue killing
them
to lure out Pang De. If you fail, then Han Sui doesn't defect and you'll have
more officers to kill.

If the plan succeeds, then Han Sui and a few other officers will defect to
Wei.
Either way, Ma Chao will eventually appear in your camp, so make sure you're
there to take him down. Note that you should be here, as it's likely your main
camp has been under attack while you were on the east side of the map. After
taking out Ma Chao, you will need to take out the ballistae at the first gate.

To get there, you'll need to go up the eastern path and into the garrison
there,
then take the southern exit, go up the hill and go west before the drop.
Destroy
both ballista and the ram will break through the first gate. It will stop
before
the second gate, as there will be more ballista, so use the western path in
the
area to get to those (take down the officer in the way).

Destroy the next two ballista to make way for the ram to the second gate and
once it does, exit to the west. Go north and take out the officer to take over
the catapults. Get next to one and use it to bring down the third gate, then
drop down and pass through it. Feel free to go and destroy the ballista, but
all
that remains is to clear the last two areas and then defeat Ma Chao to win the
battle.

.------------------------.
======| 12H. Battle of Hefei |
'------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Li Dian, Yue Jin, Zhang Liao

Start off by going up the nearby stairs and dropping down to where enemy
soldiers are running around. Some officers may drop by for a visit, so
politely
show them the way to the ground, then go to the northwest corner and defeat
the
officer there to open the western path. Go down the western path and when you
get to the designated spot, an ambush will happen.

The ambush will consist of Ling Tong and Gan Ning, as well as two other
officers, so take them all out and then start heading to the east. Some
reinforcements might show up (Han Dang and Ding Feng) to the far south, but
keep
heading to the spot at the west. In order to get the ladders needed to climb
up,
clear the nearby base of any officers to free the engineers.

Climb up the ladders and keep going until you encounter Taishi Ci. Take him
out
and then keep going south, destroying the bridge by going into the highlighted
circle on the ground and pressing the correct button. You must now capture
three
bases surrounding the Wu main camp, so go back the way you came and capture
the
northern one.

Go west and south, then go and take the western base and then go after the
southern one last. Wu's main camp will now be open, where you get to meet Zhou
Tai and another officer, as Sun Quan is withdrawing from the area. Take out
both
and then pursuing Sun Quan. Defeating him will put an end to this battle.

.------------------------------.
======| 13H. Battle of Mt. Dingjun |
'------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Wang Yi, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He

Start out the battle by jumping down into the sea of red just by the gates to
Mt. Dingjun. There will be plenty of officers here, as well as some more that
show up, including Zhang Bao. What you want to keep an eye out on is the
western
side of the map for Huang Zhong, because as soon as he shows up, you want to
head to Mt. Tiandang, which is just northwest of Dingjun (you'll need to come
from the north, though).

Eventually, Ma Dai will place some siege ramps and start heading towards the
main camp from the north. Zhao Yun will also try to sneak in from the north,
so
if you get a chance before Huang Zhong shows up, take him out as well. You do
not want to let Huang Zhong capture Tiandang, which will make him run down the
hill and attack Dingjun.

When you get closer to the enemy main camp, some arbalests will spawn. There
aren't too many, so they should definitely be destroyed before going after the
officers. Speaking of which, Ma Chao will be in front of the front gate and
then
Yueying will be in the room before Zhuge Liang. Defeating Zhuge Liang will
complete the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| To fulfill the Hypothetical condition in this battle, which will make Xiahou
|
| Yuan playable in the next battle, you must defeat Huang Zhong before he can
|
| manage to take over Mt. Tiandang. If he manages to do that, then Xiahou Yuan
|
| will die at the very end of the battle. As soon as Huang Zhong appears, go
|
| straight to his location, as this should give you enough time to hopefully
|
| get to and defeat him.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.-----------------------------.
======| 14H. Battle of Fan Castle |
'-----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Pi, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan*, Xu Huang

There will be a lot of chaos happening at the beginning of the battle,

including
plenty of officers close to your starting point, as well as some that even
defect to the enemy's side. Once it's all clear, get into the water and start
swimming towards Fan Castle itself. Watch out for the boulders while fighting
outside and defeat all of the officers there to finally secure the place.

Lu Meng and Wu should now appear as help for you, but they will get ambushed
by
Shu and some ballistas. Your goal is to take out the officer in charge of
them,
so take the eastern exit out of Fan Castle and start heading in that
direction.
Once Zhou Cang is dead, Wu will continue moving and then get ambushed by Guan
Suo and Wei Yan inside the garrison.

To get inside this garrison, you'll need to go south and around to jump down
into it. It is also around this time that Guan Xing will have appeared close
to
the central area of the map, and he'll begin dropping rocks. He must be
defeated
in order to stop the falling rocks. Pang De is also isolated in the northwest
and needs to be rescued, so head over there when you get a chance.

Go onto the west side of the map and begin moving southward, only to be
stopped
by the gates being shut down. Wu will bring in some rams to break down the
gates, so you'll need to wait until they have broken through one of them. When
they do, go and start clearing out the area of enemies. Eventually, Guan Yu's
children will show up, including Guan Suo, Guan Ping and Guan Xing.

Take them out and then go to the gate leading to where Guan Yu is located,
only
to find it closed. It's guarded by Guan Yinping, so defeat her to make it
open.
Guan Yu has quite a bit of health when compared to the other officers in the
stage, as well as more strength. One you take him out, then the battle will be
over and you'll have finished the Historical battles for Wei.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to rescue Pang De before he retreats, which will extend the final
|
| movie a bit. He is located near the floodgates and is fighting with two
|
| enemy officers. After clearing the castle of all enemies, exit it into the
|
| central area. From here, go all the way west and into the area leading up to
|
| the floodgates, where you see Pang De with the two enemy officers. Defeat
|
| both to rescue him and get this star.

'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.------------------------.
======| 10W. Battle of Chibi |
 '------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Zhang Liao

This battle will unlock the Hypothetical route for Wei's story. In order to
gain
access to it, you must complete all optional objectives in battles prior to
this
one on the stage select screen. Once you do, talk to Guo Jia in the camp
before
the battle begins.

Start the battle off by clearing the enemy officers to the north of the main
camp, of which there are a total of three. After that, Xu Shu will mention
that
the enemy's plan is to link the ships together and wants you to follow him to
where the culprit is located. Do that and you'll find Pang Tong, so defeat him
to continue.

Once that is over, you need to head to the indicated ship and wait until the
enemy's surprise attack comes. This is led by Huang Gai and Han Dang and will
light that ship ablaze, but defeating them will end that. After taking down
those two, Cai Mao defects so head over to where he is. He doesn't seem to
listen, so defeat him to make him rejoin Wei.

Board the ship to the south and once everyone gets on it, the ship will start
moving to the eastern side of the map. Start clearing out all of the enemy
officers as you make your way to the main camp. Note that Liu Bei and Sun
Shangxiang appear to the south of the main camp, although they will chase
after
you. You should go to the altar and defeat Zhuge Liang, which is the first
path
to the west as you go north.

Continue fighting your way to the enemy's main camp, defeating any officers
you
come across on the way. When you get to the front gates, defeat Ding Feng,
then
go inside and defeat Sun Quan to finish the battle.

.----------------------------.
======| 11W. Campaign for Jianye |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cai Wenji, Dian Wei, Zhang He, Zhang Liao

At the beginning of the battle, start by heading north and clearing the
western
side where you start. Your goal is to capture the three bases in front of
Jianye. When you approach the westernmost one, Gan Ning will appear, so take
him
out and continue east. Note that Ling Tong will appear south of where Gan Ning
did, so it might be wise to go after him, too.

Once you take the three bases, assist in the conquering of the south outer
castle in the southeast corner. You'll need to capture all of the bases in the
area before the gates to the actual area opens. When it has opened, go inside
and you'll be ambushed by Taishi Ci and Han Dang, as well as a bunch of
archers.

With the outer area now secure, it's time to head to the main castle. When you
get to the main gates, you'll find Sun Shangxiang and Huang Gai there
defending
it. Defeating them both will open up the main gates and when you get inside,
Xue
Zong will defect to your side. There will be others who will end up defecting
as
well, so keep an eye out for them (there are five in total).

Lu Xun will order the gates to be shut and he, Lu Meng, Daqiao and Xiaoqiao
all
appear, with the two former appearing outside of the castle and heading to
your
main camp. Defeating the Qiao sisters will open the gates again, so do that
and
then head back to defend your main camp. Defeat both Lu Xu and Lu Meng, then
head back to the castle.

Once you get back to the castle, only a certain path is open to allow you to
continue. When you get to certain spots, traps will be sprung and Zhou Yu will
appear. Navigate past the traps and defeat Zhou Yu to deactivate them. Make
your
way to where Sun Quan is and defeat Zhou Tai to open the gates. If you made
all
five of the officers from above defect, then Sun Quan will surrender without a
fight. If you didn't, then you must defeat him to end the battle.

.----------------------------.
======| 12W. Uprising at Xuchang |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Pi, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhenji

Go south at the beginning and an officer will spawn in the first area, who
will
disappear once he's taken enough damage. The next room requires you to take
out
all of the soldiers in order to open the gate. In the area beyond, phantom
soldiers will be summoned, which can't be damaged at all so ignore them. What
you need to do is take out the three sorcerers who have summoned them, who are
Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and Zhang Jiao. Once you do that, the phantom soldiers
will disappear.

Investigate the room to the south and a phantom version of Cao Cao will
appear,
so defeat him to continue. Wang Zhong will appear once again in the area to
the
east, so head over there and take him down to find out that the real culprit
is
Zuo Ci, who goes to the throne room. When you return to the previous room,
phantom versions of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao will spawn, as well as a few other
officers.
Kill them all and then Lu Bu will appear in the small room leading to the
north.
The very large courtyard-like area will have Wei soldiers that will eventually
defect, as well as phantom versions of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Defeat
them all to make the final gate open leading to Zuo Ci, who will make doubles
of
himself appear. Defeating the real one will end the battle.

.--------------------------.
======| 13W. Pursuit at Nanjun |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guo Jia, Pang De, Wang Yi

Your primary goal at the beginning of this battle is to make sure Liu Bei
doesn't reach the escape point. If you go north at the first fork, there is a
normal officer in the way, but the bottom path has Zhao Yun, who is slightly
powered up. Either path will lead to a second officer, which can be bypassed,
as
the next gate opens by taking down the gatekeeper.

Before you jump down, note that this section is the same as the previous one.
If
you do jump down, Zhang Fei will show up to the north and he's slightly
tougher
than normal officers; defeating him will let you bypass a few extra officers.
However, going the normal path will have a few normal officers and this path
is
a lot longer than the previous one.

Once you get to the next area, a fire attack will happen and you will need to
defeat Chen Zhen. Getting to him can be a bit of a problem, as the place is a
little confusing. When you get to the area that's on fire, there will be a
open
path to the left that you can use to eventually reach Chen Zhen. Once you
defeat
him, the gate from before will open, allowing the rest of Wei to join in.

Continue on, going on the long path going south, where you will encounter some
ballistas. There are only four, so destroy them all and or take down Liao Hua
to
make them stop firing. The one path in the next area is blocked, so you'll
need
to head across the middle area, where you'll find plenty of officers in the
way,
including Guan Yu. When you do get rid of Guan Yu, the gate will open up and
the
enemy will reveal a ladder.

Climb this ladder and go into the next base, where you'll find Yueying, along
with some of her Juggernaut siege weapons, which should be easy enough to
destroy. Past her will be some more officers, including Zhuge Liang. Once you
reach Liu Bei, you'll want to hear him say something along the lines of Guan
Yu
not being there yet. If you hear it, then feel free to defeat him, although
the
battle won't end there. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun will all show up and
once you defeat these three, the battle will truly end.

.-------------------------------.
======| 14W. Battle of Baidi Castle |
'-------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan

At the start of the battle, your main camp will be set on fire and you need to
track down the officers in charge of the attack and defeat them. Liu Yin is
the
one located slightly to the west and the other is to the northwest. Once you
have defeated both, the fire attack will be extinguished. Zhao Yun will likely
have begun his charge towards the main camp, so head over to him and defeat
him.

A lot of things will likely be happening at once now, with ballistas appearing
in the center of the battlefield, as well as Meng Huo showing up in the south.
For now, board the boat in the north and it will stop in the middle of its
journey. Use the ballista on board to destroy the three on the shore and once
you do, Guan Ping will jump onto the boat. Take him down and the boat will
land,
so get off and start moving towards Jian Yong in the middle of the map.

There will be plenty of other officers around Jian Yong, so be careful. You'll
likely have triggered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's appearances, who show up near
the
front gate of Baidi Castle. Likewise, Ma Chao and Ma Dai will appear in the
southwest corner of the map. Defeating Jian Yong will stop the ballistas and
make your side start to build their own catapults.

Use the catapults to knock down the main gate for Baidi Castle and when you
do,
go inside. Some rock throwers will appear, which are tied to Guan Yinping, but
you need to go around to get to her. On either side are some stairs, which
will
trigger the ballistas to start firing, which are tied to Zhuge Liang. All
before
Liu Bei, you'll likely fight Guan Xing, Guan Suo, Zhang Bao, Zhuge Liang and
Guan Yinping. Once the final gate opens, finish off Liu Bei to put an end to
this battle.

======| 1. Battle of Xiangyang |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Han Dang, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang

At the beginning of the battle, go forward and do battle with Huang Zu, who is
slightly stronger than other officers at this time. After he's gone, head
straight up the middle and defeat the officer there, which will open up the
three garrisons across the middle of the battlefield. Go to each one, starting
with the western one, and capture them by taking out the officer inside.

Taking all three garrisons will have your forces surround Xiangyang Castle,
and
it will also open up the gates on the easternmost path. Follow this path,
defeating the officers along the way, until you come to Zhang Hu. Take him out
and this will lower the drawbridge and complete the assault on the castle if
you
were quick enough.

Close to where you drop into the castle area is Huang Zhong, who should be
your
next target, as he can initiate an archer attack should he get the chance to.
There's not much left to do besides do some clean up, so go around and defeat
any remaining officers before going after Liu Biao to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| All of the Hypothetical situations in this battle involve Lu Gong and
|
| defeating him before he escapes. Follow the battle as planned until you are
|
| asked to assault the castle by using the easternmost path. At the end of
|
| this path, you need to defeat an officer to make a drawbridge fall. As soon
|
| you do this, drop down into the castle area and head straight to Lu Gong.
|
| If you're fast enough, you can catch him before he escapes, but it helps to
|
| use a horse.
|
|
|
| Doing the above will unlock 1-X. Battle of Liang Province.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.---------------------------------.
======| 1-X. Battle of Liang Province |
'---------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sun Ce, Sun Jian, Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang

At the beginning of the battle, fight the common soldiers until you're given
your orders. Depending on who you're playing as, you will go in one of a few
directions, but for this instance, go right. Defeat the officer in the way and
continue south until you are asked to capture the base on the cliff.

As you're going south from the first officer kill, you should see a small path
on the map that leads straight into the central garrison. Use this and drop
into
the base, then defeat the officers in there to capture it. Go south from here
and defeat any Unit Commanders you come across, then some attack units will
appear to the north and south slightly east from your position.

Once you defeat both of those, Ma Chao and Ma Dai will appear in the bases on
the western side of the map. They're going to head towards Sun Jian, so
quickly
head to them and take them down. Also, Pang De and Han Sui will attack the
main
camp, so after taking out the other two, head there and defeat both of them.

Around now, Dong Zhuo will come and head towards the main camp. He'll need an
escort, so head to and follow him, as when he gets close enough Bian Zhang
will
appear from behind in an ambush. There are a few other officers around, but
defeating Bian Zhang will finish the battle.

.------------------------.
======| 2. Conquest of Wujun |
'------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Huang Gai, Sun Ce, Sun Jian*, Zhou Yu

If you're playing as Huang Gai, you will be tasked with heading east and going
after the supply depot. Either of the other two characters will require you to
head south and start capturing the bases around the area. Not long after
capturing the second base, Taishi Ci will show up slightly to the west of it.
Defeat him, remembering that he is slightly stronger than normal officers.

Taking out Taishi Ci will make the eastern and northern gates of Moling Castle
open. This will trigger a mission to defeat both Ze Rong and Xue Li, so do
that
and continue going south. Taishi Ci will appear again, so get rid of him and
then defeat the officer inside the next base.

Now, start heading east towards the main camp. Defeat any other officers in
the
way and then open the gates. Head inside and yet again, Taishi Ci will appear.
Defeating him the third time will keep him away for good, as well as open the
main gates to Liu Yao. Head inside and defeat him to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------.
======| 3. The Little Conquerer in Peril |
'------------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Zhou Tai, Zhou Yu

Once the battle begins, fight the enemies around you until some phantom
soldiers
appear. You can't hurt these enemies, so you need to go to one of the
designated
spots and find the one responsible for making them appear, which will be
nothing
by a Unit Commander. As you continue exploring the forest, an ambush of
archers
will appear and will continue on until you finally reach the garrison and Xu
Gong appears.

Defeating Xu Gong will trigger a short scene and after it's over, Cao Cao's
forces will arrive. You'll need to escape the battle with Sun Ce, so start
heading east and taking the path over there. You'll run into some officers
such
as Yue Jin and Li Dian. Defeat them as they come, with Li Dian being the
second
officer, which will trigger Xiahou Dun to start advancing.

Once you make it into the last garrison, there will be a lot of officers in
the
way, including Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and eventually Guo Jia, who is the one
blocking the escape point. Utilize musou attacks and your Rage, if you have it
full, to cut down all of the enemies in your way. When Guo Jia is gone, the
gates to the escape point will open, so head to it to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to defeat both Xiahou Dun and Gan Ji in order to unlock 3-X.
|
| Defeat Gan Ji. As soon as you escape from the forest, Xiahou Dun will
|
| appear in the northwest corner. Continue the battle like normal after taking
|
| out Xiahou Dun, until you see Guo Jia appear. Around the time he does, Gan
|
| Ji will appear in the very same base as Xiahou Dun did. Go back, defeat him
|
| and finish the stage.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.----------------------.
======| 3-X. Defeat Gan Ji |
'----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Daqiao, Sun Quan, Taishi Ci, Zhou Yu

At the beginning of the battle, there's no enemies on the map, so go to the

designated spot. Some troops summoned by sorcery will appear, so keep on
fighting them until Gan Ji ends up appearing. Defeat him to make the gates
open,
allowing you to go forward.

Here, you can either go straight or go right to the barracks entrance. If you
go
right, you'll have to keep fighting phantom soldiers until you are cleared,
which opens the gate to the barracks. The appearance of these ghost soldiers
will close nearby gates on the straight path. In the next area past the
barracks
entrance will be Liu Yao and Yuan Shu, so take them both down.

After those two are done, Yan Baihu and Xu Gong appear, so defeat both of
them,
which will open the gate nearby. Past the gate will be a small area, where a
ghost version of Sun Jian appears, who is a little bit tougher than the normal
officers so far. Once he's gone, Xiaoqiao appears, so take her out, too.

Make your way to the throne room with Sun Quan, where Gan Ji will appear once
again. Defeat him to make the gates to the actual throne room, where you will
have to fight a ghost version of Sun Ce. Once he's through, Gan Ji will set
fire
to the room and make three versions of himself appear. You need to take down
all
three versions in order to continue.

Gan Ji will now appear outside the castle, exhausted, where he'll run away a
little bit. Give chase, defeating the unit commanders to open gates when
needed.
When you get to the one area, you'll have to defeat a phantom version of Gan
Ji
again to open the next gate. This final path will lead to the real Gan Ji, so
finish him off to complete the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| In order to get the star on this stage, you need to find and break the
|
| source of Gan Ji's sorcery. This is actually an urn-like object that is
|
| hidden within the stage. To find it, go left when you defeat the first
|
| phantom Gan Ji near the beginning. You will have to climb a ladder to
|
| continue, but keep going north to find the urn with a blue mist coming from
|
| it. Hit it once to destroy it.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.----------------------.
======| 4. Battle of Chibi |
'----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Han Dang, Huang Gai, Lu Su, Sun Shangxiang

Start the battle by fighting the soldiers in front of where you begin, as not
too long, two boats with two officers will land. Once those two are gone, Sima
Yi will land a boat to the north, so head up there and defeat him. Next up
will
be a raid from the south, with Xiahou Dun leading the charge. There will be
around 5 officers here and once they're finished, the prayer will be
successful
and the fire attack will play out.

Go to the boat in the south and board it, waiting for Lu Su and Sun Shao to
board it as well. With everyone on it, it will begin moving towards Cao Cao's
fleet. There will be a few officers there to greet you when you land,
including
Cao Pi and Zhenji. After they have been defeated, start making your way north,
taking out any and all officers in the way. Once you get to Cao Cao, defeat
him
to end the battle.

.-----------------------.
======| 5. Battle of Nanjun |
'-----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Lu Meng, Lu Su, Zhou Yu

Your first order of business is to go and rescue Gan Ning, who is in the
southwest corner of the map. You'll need to take the winding path to the west
to
get to Gan Ning. Break through and defeat the officers around Gan Ning to
rescue
him. Zhou Yu will get injured in the process, which he will use to lure the
enemy forces to trap them.

Head north from where Gan Ning was located and go into the garrison there.
Clear
it of the officers and then wait there until the next wave of officers
approach.
Defeat every officer that comes to you and once they're gone, the Wu forces
will
lure out Li Dian, so defeat him when you can. If the main camp is in trouble,
which it might be due to Cao Cao's forces entering it, then go and save it.

Lu Su wants you to act as a decoy again, this time attacking from the cliff to
approach Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He. Follow the trail given to you and when you
execute the pincer attack, defeat both officers mentioned above. Defeating
those
two will open the door to Cao Ren, who will be the last officer to end the
battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to successfully complete the decoy strategy in order to get both
|
| stars on this stage. It's best to play as Zhou Yu for this, as you can
|
| control what happens. After rescuing Gan Ning, go north and hold your
|
| position inside the base until you lure out Li Dian. It might be best to
|
| make an interim save here, in case things get screwed up in the next area.
|
|
|
| Once that's done, the second stage of the decoy plan begins. You'll need to
|
| follow a specific path on the eastern side of the stage, so enter that area
|
| by using the middle path. Go to the north and then around and down the east
|
| path. Wait until Lu Su manages to get close enough to Xiahou Yuan and Zhang
|
| He before defeating the last officer in the southeast.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.------------------------------.
======| 6. Battle of Jing Province |
'------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Han Dang, Lu Meng, Lu Su, Zhou Yu*

You must quickly get to the assault point in the northwest, so start the
battle
by heading along the path going west. Defeat the officers in the way and when
you get on the west side of the map, defeat Guan Suo and then arrive at the
assault point.

Start going to the collection of Shu officers and defeat all of them, of which
there are plenty. Once the whole area is clear, you can start heading over to
where Guan Yu is located. However, the main gate is closed and Guan Yinping is
guarding it, so take her down to open it up. Once inside, you will have a
reunion with the whole Guan family, although the main target is Guan Yu.
Defeating him will end the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to lead Lu Su to Jing Province Castle to get both stars, which
|
| means it's easiest if you actually use Lu Su. Your objective is to go up the
|
| easternmost path, so do that, defeating all officers in the way. When you
|
| get to the gate to Jing Province Castle, an ambush will appear behind you,
|
| along with two arbalests. Defeat all four officers to disable the arbalests,
|
| as well as open the gate to the castle. After defeating the next officer,
|
| Lu Su should say something about making it to the castle.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.----------------------.
======| 7. Battle of Hefei |
'----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Lu Su*, Sun Quan

Begin the stage by going straight towards Hefei Castle, which is done by going
through the nearby base with Wen Pin. However, as soon as you cross the bridge
past Wen Pin, it is raised and you're split off from the rest of your army.
Not
only that, but Zhang Liao will appear in your main camp and capture it, making
things a total mess.

To limit casualties, Sun Quan has decided it's time to escape from the battle,
so start heading towards the westernmost path. When you reach the garrison on
the western side in the central area, defeat the officers to rescue Taishi Ci.
Go to the rest of the bases and rescue your other officers by doing the same
thing.

Not long after rescuing Taishi Ci, there will be a short scene where Zhang
Liao
gets the jump on Sun Quan, but Taishi Ci ends up protecting him at the last
minute, with his life ending there. Keep going around and rescuing who you
can,
until Sun Quan reaches a cliff. It seems that the engineers have been captured
and are being held by Xu Huang nearby. Defeat him to free the engineer, who
will
build a ladder. At the escape point, Zhang Liao shows yet again, but the
battle
will end when he is defeated.

.-------------------------.
======| 8H. Battle of Ruxukou |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Lu Meng

Open the gate by taking out the gatekeeper, then capture the garrison by
defeating Xu Huang. Once the outer gates open, you need to avoid direct
confrontation with the officers in the area and get to the drawbridge. When
you
get there, Zhang Liao will appear and he is slightly tougher than the other
officers.

Defeating Zhang Liao will lower the drawbridge and allow your main force to
arrive. You now need to go around and capture all of the garrisons on the map,
so start with the ones to the south. At one point, a messenger will show up
and
attempt to call in for reinforcements, but it should cross your path if you go
with the southcentral garrison first.

With the southern garrisons under your control, head north and go after the
ones
there. Once you capture all of them, the gate to Wei's main camp will open.
Also, Zhang Liao will appear again, so defeat him first before going after Cao
Cao to finish the battle.

.----------------------------.
======| 9H. Battle of Fan Castle |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Lianshi, Lu Meng, Lu Xun

Go forward at the beginning of the battle and capture the southeastern

garrison
by defeating Guan Yinping. Your next task is to defeat both Mi Fang and Fu
Shiren, but they will likely retreat before you can get to them. After that,
start heading north and east, towards Guan Yu.

Cross the central area of the battlefield, only to have Zhou Cang start using
catapults to pelt the area with rocks. Defeating him will make them stop, so
hunt him down. Head back to the central area, as Guan Ping and Guan Suo start
heading towards the floodgates. Guan Suo will likely shut the gate, so he'll
need taken out first.

If you don't make it in time, Fan Castle will be flooded and it's likely that
a
lot of officers will make their way to Cao Ren. Should that happen, you'll
need
to go to him and clear the area of officers. Otherwise, head towards Guan Yu's
main camp, which is likely accessed from the southern gate. Guan Xing controls
some arbalests in the area, so defeat him to stop them. Defeating Guan Yu will
put an end to the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to win the battle and make sure that Lu Meng doesn't get injured to
|
| get this star. This is easily done by playing as Lu Meng, as you can control
|
| the situation and not have to rely on the AI. At the beginning of the stage,
|
| make sure you defeat Fu Shiren and Mi Fang to make them defect to Wu.
|
| Whatever you do, you cannot enter Guan Yu's camp in the southwest from the
|
| east, as this will trigger the arbalests and Lu Meng will get injured.
|
|
|
| Fu Shiren will say he knows how to enter the camp from the north, which is
|
| where you need to enter. You likely have to stop the flood attack by
|
| defeating Guan Ping and Guan Suo, which requires you to be quick, as once
|
| Guan Ping gets beyond the gate there, he will likely trigger the flood
|
| attack.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.-------------------------.
======| 10H. Battle of Yiling |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Han Dang, Ling Tong, Lu Meng*, Lu Xun

While defending the main camp, you need to defeat the Shu forces in the
immediate area. There are three of them and once they're dead, two more will
advance. Around this time, you'll see a report that Liu Bei seems to have
disappeared, so Lu Xun orders a fire attack to be escorted to the middle of
the
forest.

Before the fire attack unit can move, however, you will need to defeat Ma Su.
Follow the engineer, defeating any officers in the way, until you get to the
designated spot. Once he reaches the center of the forest, the fire attack
will
be successful and Liu Bei's position will be shown. Another scripted event is
that Shamoke will kill Gan Ning. Go over to Liu Bei's location and take him
out,
which will make him withdraw.

Zhuge Liang will show up and bring Liu Bei through the Stone Sentinel Maze,
and
you'll need to give chase. Once you step foot in the maze, the mini-map will
stay constantly zoomed in, but you can still view the larger map on the pause
screen. There are larger rooms in the maze that have big torches, which your
engineer will light when you defeat the officers there.

There are a total of five torches in the maze and there will be one minor
distraction, which is an officer who activates a ballista. Defeat him to
deactivate it, then light all five torches to remove the gate blocking the
exit.
Leave the maze and then defeat Zhuge Liang to open up the final gate, so you
can
take out Liu Bei to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to make sure Gan Ning is alive while defeating Shamoke, who will
|
| kill Gan Ning during the battle. Follow the battle in the beginning like
|
| normal until you are told to escort the fire attack unit. Ignore this and
|
| follow Gan Ning, who will begin to traverse the southern path. Eventually,
|
| this path will lead him to West Mountain Path Second Garrison, where he will
|
| be trapped inside by Shamoke. If you're with him the entire time, you'll be
|
| stuck inside as well and be able to quickly defeat Shamoke. Doing this will
|
| unlock 10H-X. Battle of Guangling.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.------------------------------.
======| 10H-X. Battle of Guangling |
'------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Ding Feng, Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai

The beginning of the battle will have you on defensive duty, protecting the
three garrisons in front of where you begin. This is because the fort behind
it
is a fake and Wei mustn't find out. Defeat the three officers that come to try
capture the three garrisons. After that, an Assassin will find out and begin
moving along the southern path to tell of the fort being a fake.
Catch up to this Assassin and quickly defeat him. You must now wait and
protect
the garrisons from any other officers until Ding Feng manages to get to the
cliff to launch a surprise attack. At the same time, some Shu reinforcements
will appear in the south. Your goal is to go through the middle and defeat the
officers there, including Pang De and Zhang He.

Once you defeat Pang De, Zhang Liao will home in on your position, so take him
down, too. Continue west towards Wei's main camp, where an ambush will happen
in
the garrison. Take out the officers and then push forward. Sima Yi will be in
the next area, then there will be a big cluster of officers before the main
gate, including Cao Ren, whose defeat will open it. Once inside, take out Cao
Pi
to finish the battle.

.--------------------------.
======| 11H. Battle of Shiting |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Ding Feng, Ling Tong, Lu Xun, Zhou Tai

Your first order of business is to capture the two bases that are shown on
your
map. You also can't go near the two bridges, as your plan will be seen through
if you do. Capturing both bases will make Zhou Fang lure out Cao Xiu. In the
meantime, you need to break through the southern garrison and go into the
southeastern one.

When you get to the above garrison, defeat the officer inside to capture it,
then wait until Zhou Fang lures Cao Xiu into your previous main camp. Once he
does, he defects back to your side and lights the place on fire. Now, make
your
way to where they are and defeat Cao Xiu.

Once Cao Xiu is gone, Sima Yi and the rest of Wei's forces will show up in the
western and northwestern areas of the map. On the western side, you'll fight
Shima Shi and Wang Yi, while the northwestern area contains Sima Zhao and the
final officer of the battle, Sima Yi.

======| 12H. Battle of He Fei Castle |
'--------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Lianshi, Lu Xun, Sun Quan, Zhou Tai

Begin the battle by going to the two nearby bases and capturing them. This
will
cause a battering ram spawn for your forces and head to the front gate of the
castle. However, a pendulum axe will appear and end up destroying the
battering
ram. Since the front is out of the question, it's time to attack from the
sides.
Depending on who you're playing as, you'll either go to the east or west (this
guide will go to the east).

Once you make it to the designated spot, defeat the officer there to open the
gates. Inside, you'll find some statues that shoot fire, so you need to get
past
them and take downthe officer in charge of the statues, who happens to be Yue
Jin. Continue farther into the castle until you get to a room with some large
fans.

The officer in charge of the fans is Xu Zhu, who happens to be located behind
the fans themselves. With that out of the way, start making your way towards
the
throne room, where Cao Pi is located. Along the way, you'll encounter Li Dian,
as well as Cao Ren guarding the gate leading to it. Once inside, take out
Zhenji
and then Cao Pi to finish the battle.

======| 7W. Battle of Hefei |
'-----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Lu Su, Sun Quan

Finishing this battle will set you on the Hypothetical route for Wu's story.
In
order to do this stage, you need to have acquired all stars on the battles
prior
on the stage select screen. Once you have done that, speak with Zhou Yu in the
camp.

At the beginning of the battle, head east and drop down nearby the bridge.
Head
north to the eastern base and you'll find Zhang Liao waiting, so take him
down.
Continue north and drop down into the central area of the battlefield, making
your way towards Hefei Castle. Once inside, you'll notice the drawbridge is
raised, so Wu decides to take another route to inside the castle.

It is about this time that Zhang Liao will reappear near Taishi Ci, but Lu Su
mentions not to worry about it and continue towards Hefei Castle. Head to the
western side of the map and climb the ladder to reach the cliff above. Inside
the base there is Li Dian, so defeat him and then continue north.

Keep pressing forward, clearing the next base and then reaching the outskirts
of
Hefei Castle. In order to breach the gates, you're going to need some rams,
but
you need to lower the drawbridge first. To lower the bridge, you need to
defeat
Zhang Hu, but there will be a lot of other officers in the area, including Cao
Ren and Zhang He who show up as reinforcements.

Once the drawbridge has been lowered, the ram will move to the gate, but
before
it will likely destroy the gate, Yue Jin and Li Dian show up next to the main
gate. Defeat both of them and once the gates have been opened, all that's left
is to take down Zhang Liao to finish the battle.

.---------------------------.
======| 8W. Pursuit at Shouchun |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sun Ce, Sun Jian, Taishi Ci, Zhou Yu

Go forward at the beginning and defeat any officers in your way. Not far into
the battle, Cao Pi will retreat to the northwest corner and destroy the bridge
behind him. At around the same time, Jia Xu will appear in the south and head
towards the Wu main camp, so start heading back there. The Wei forces to the
north are behaving strangely, which prompts Ding Feng to head there.

All of this culminates in Ding Feng being isolated because Wei destroys the
eastern bridge, making it impossible to get back to the north for now. For
now,
defeat Jia Xu and the other officers attacking the main camp. Once it's clear,
head towards the middle area on the map and try to defeat all of the officers
there, even though you don't have to.

When you're done with that, head across the bridge in the southwest corner of
the central area, where you'll meet an ambush by Li Dian. Defeat all of the
officers and you'll succumb to yet another ambush with the next set of
enemies.
Keep going after that to encounter an archer ambush, where you'll need to go
up
and around on a path to the west to reach Zhang He, whose defeat will stop the
archers.

Zhang Liao will likely have gone back to rejoin with Cao Pi, meaning the
bridge
to the north has been reconstructed. This means that Ding Feng has been
finished, so there's no need to go to save him now. There will still be two
officers sitting there, if you want to get them, but otherwise, go and defeat
Cao Pi to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| To get this star, you need to defeat Zhang Liao before Ding Feng gets
|
| isolated in the north. At the beginning of the battle, you go north to fight
|
| some of the enemy, but not long after that, Jia Xu will appear to the south
|
| and head towards your main camp. DO NOT listen to this and continue staying
|
| in the north. After some time passed, Zhang Liao will come out of the castle
|
| and to your position, so defeat him to finish this optional objective.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.---------------------------.
======| 9W. Defense of Jiangxia |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Han Dang, Huang Gai, Lianshi, Lu Xun

Since Wu and Shu should be allies, head straight to Shu's main camp at the
beginning of the battle, making sure to avoid fighting with any of their
officers. When you get there, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei refuse to talk, so defeat
them both to make sure they do talk.

As it turns out, it appears Wei set things up so both Shu and Wu would fight,
with them cleaning up the remaining troops. The battlefield has expanded, with
Wei's forces to the north. Wang Yi should be approaching your position, so
defeat her and then head over to the eastern side of the map, since Xu Huang
will be moving toward Wu's main camp.

Defeat Xu Huang and now both Xiahou Dun and Xu Zhu will appear to attack Guan
Yu
in the central area. Go to help him out by defeating both of them. This should
trigger the central bases across the map to open up, with the officers inside
advancing. There's likely to be more officers hanging around the map, but your
main objective now is to go and defeat Wang Yi to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to make sure that both bases near your main camp don't fall, which
|
| will happen in the second part of the battle. At the beginning of the
|
| battle, follow the orders given to you and defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
|
| This will open up the second part of the map, with Wang Yi arriving. Defeat
|
| her and then Xu Huang will appear. This is where you need to make sure both
|
| camps don't fall, although it's fine if one happens to get captured.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.--------------------------.
======| 9W-X. Assault at Xinye |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Daqiao, Lianshi, Sun Shangxiang, Xiaoqiao

Fight through the normal soldiers and enter the first garrison, where you'll
meet an ambush with Zhang Liao and Zhang He. Defeat them both and head to the
next area. Here, you'll find a closed gate, but there are some stones you can
jump on nearby to reach the cliff above.

Do that and defeat the officer there, then drop down and take out the next
officer to open the gates. Do the same with the next gate, although there is
an
alternate path that leads to the cliff this time. You'll find some abandoned
Juggernauts on the path, but you don't really need them for anything. Defeat
Cai
Wenji, who should be just past the Juggernauts.

When you reach the bottom of the mountain, Wang Yi will appear as an ambush
with
some archers. Dfeat her to stop the archers, then continue west to encounter
Zhenji. It is likely at this point that Pang De has reached the bottom of the
map, so after taking care of Zhenji, defeat Pang De and the other officers.
When
Sun Quan reaches the target destination, the battle will end.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| To get the star on this battle, you need to just quickly defeat all of the
|
| enemy officers.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.------------------------.
======| 10W. Battle of Runan |
'------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Lu Meng, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Xiaoqiao*

At the beginning of the battle, you'll be blocked off from the rest of your
troops and depending which character you're playing as, you will have a set
path
(Lu Su in this case). Go north and defeat Zhu Ling to open the next area,
where
you'll encounter some large fans. In order to get past this area, go to the
northern set of fans and you'll find a ladder on the west side.

This ladder leads to a platform with Guo Huai, who controls the fans. Defeat
him
to shut down the fans, as well as clear the archers, then make your way into
the
next area. Defeat Xiahou Mao to open the next area, where you'll find some
enemy
pyrocannons that have been activated by Deng Ai. Destroy the ones that are
against you and you'll find some that can be ridden by you.

Use them to take out the reinforcements that show up (or not), then head to
the
opposite end and defeat Deng Ai. In the next area, Wang Yuanji and Zhang
Chunhua
both appear, but they shouldn't be too much trouble. Defeat them both and then
head north, with some arbalests being used by Sima Zhao. Hunt down both Sima
Zhao and Sima Shi (who is opposite of his brother), then head to the main camp
to finish off Sima Yi.

.---------------------------.
======| 11W. Assault on Xuchang |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sun Ce, Sun Jian, Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang

Depending on the character you use, you're either feigning a frontal assault
(Sun Ce and Sun Quan) or assisting in the fire attack (Sun Jian and Sun
Shangxiang). For the fire attack, go west at the beginning of the stage and
when
you can go north, do it to get inside of the castle.
Here, you'll find Xiahou Yuan waiting for you and Wang Yi will eventually come
into the picture. Defeat both of them, then move forward into the castle to
encounter Zhang Liao. Once you make it further into the castle, you'll run
into
Guo Huai, as well as some other officers. Defeating them will open up the
gates
leading into the northernmost section of the castle.

When you get here, you'll need to lower the water level to find the secret
passage, so go around the path and hit the switch at the end to open the
floodgates. Once it's open, jump into the water and start making your way into
the secret passage. Upon reaching the room, Li Dian and Yue Jin will appear,
so
defeat them both to gain access to the main room with Cao Cao.

======| 1. Pursuit at Wuzhang Plains |
'--------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sima Shi, Sima Yi, Sima Zhao, Zhang Chunhua

At the beginning of the battle, you'll be in the central area of Wuzhang and
you
will need to defeat the encroaching Shu officers. As you're fighting them,
some
more officers will start making their way towards Wei's main camp, so take
them
out, too. You'll be told to start heading towards Shu's main camp, but as you
do, their officers will begin to retreat.

You'll have to give chase to the Shu officers via the central garrison, but as
you get close to it, the gates will close and Guan Suo will appear. Defeat him
to open all of the gates. At the next base, Guan Yinping will appear and drop
into the base, so defeat her and continue. Note that Wei Yan and Ma Dai will
appear on a separate path than the one you're probably using.

When you enter the main camp, Jiang Wei will set fire to it, retreat and some
Juggernauts will spawn. Destroy them and the gates will be open, with Jiang
Wei
reappearing in the southeast garrison. As you continue along the path to where
Jiang Wei is located, Yueying will appear, along with some arbalests.

After defeating her and the arbalests, you'll find Zhao Yun appearing along
the
path. Defeat him and continue to the southeast garrison, where you'll find
Jiang
Wei. His defeat will bring an end to the battle.

.--------------------------.
======| 2. Battle of Xiangping |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sima Shi, Sima Yi, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji

At the start of the battle, some of Gongsun Yuan's forces are targeting your
main camp and you need to get rid of them. Defeat the first two and the others
will start retreating. Follow them to the west base, where an ambush will be
sprung on you from inside the base. Defeat all of the officers, including Wei
Yan, who will trigger the capture of the base.

This will make the troops in the base to the east of your position panic,
causing them to open the gates. Defeat the officer inside to capture it, then
continue east to take on the assault unit. It's likely that the reinforcements
will show up just north of the assault unit, so take out all of the officers
that appear.

Gongsun Yuan holes himself in his castle, meaning you'll need to find another
way inside. Go to the west side of the map and use the ladders to climb up the
mountain. Clear the garrison at the top, then make your way down the path and
drop into the enemy's main camp. Defeat Gongsun Yuan to finish the battle.

.----------------------------.
======| 3. Battle of Mt. Xingshi |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jia Chong, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Zhang Chunhua

At the beginning of the battle, start making your way to Mt. Xingshi, which is
the base in the middle at the south end of the map. When you get to the
forest,
it will be set on fire and then the gates you went through will close. After
that, a Shu assault unit will be sent to take over your main camp, as well as
destroy the bridge to the north of it.

Once you get close to Cao Shuang, Ma Dai will appear and drop down from the
summit to attack. Defeat him and then continue south, stopping at the gate
that's likely closed. It'll eventually be opened and the victory conditions
will
change, with the battle becoming an escape one now. You need to start making
your way up the eastern side of the map and be careful of any officers
approaching from behind.

When you get past the little maze-like area, Xingcai will appear, so defeat
her
and then Cao Shuang will run off again. Eventually, he'll reach an area where
rock throwers and a ballista will appear. You need to take down Liao Hua to
take
control of the ballista, then use it to get rid of the rock throwers.

Keep going to the next base, where you will encounter some Juggernauts and
Yueying. Defeat her to make the gates open again and make your way to the
escape
point, only to have both Guan Suo and Guan Yinping appear. You will need to
defeat both of them in order to allow Cao Shuang to finally escape from the
battle.

.------------------.
======| 4. Coup d'etat |
'------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sima Shi, Sima Yi, Sima Zhao, Zhang Chunhua

At the beginning of the battle, there will be four spies where you are, so
defeat them all and then take the western path out of there. The gatekeeper
will
turn on you, so take him down and the next part will depend on which character
you are playing as. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao will have to go to the east and
capture the supply depot, while the other two characters will need to capture
the armory.

When you have captured whichever base you were told, make your way to the
central square and capture that next, then make your way to the throne room,
which should now be open. Defeat the officer there and Cao Shuang's vanguard
will appear in two spots. Make your way to the south end of the map, as Cao
Shuang will appear with some of his officers. You need to quickly defeat him,
as
he will try to run away and if he does, then you fail the battle. Take him
down
to finish.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| Whenever Cao Shuang appears at the end of the battle, he will have three
|
| officers with him, who are Cao Xun, Cao Xi and He Yan. To get this star, you
|
| to defeat those three before you take down Cao Shuang. This is a problem as
|
| Shuang will attempt to escape from battle and if he does, then you fail the
|
| battle. That means you need to quickly take the three down quickly with
|
| hopefully a Musou attack and then get Cao Shuang.

'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.----------------------------.
======| 4-X. Xiahou Ba's Journey |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guo Huai, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji

If you're using Guo Huai, then you will go down the eastern path, while Sima
Zhao and Wang Yuanji will use the western path. The western path is fairly
straightforward, while the eastern path has a few things that need to be
detailed. Guo Huai's sole purpose in the battle is to slow down Xiahou Ba.

At the beginning, defeat the first officer in the garrison, then keep going to
the next one. Guo Huai will mention that the rocks seem a little loose and
there
will be a ballista nearby. Defeating the officer will let you control the
ballista, which you can use to shoot at the rocks mentioned before to block
the
path.

Path this is a pit with spaced stones, with tigers in the pit. You need to
jump
across the stones without falling into the pit, but should that happen, there
is
a ladder on the north side that you can climb up and try again. Once you make
it
across, there is one other thing to keep in mind.

When Guo Huai mentions the bridge, there is some branches that you can hit to
make a boulder fall to destroy the bridge. Once you make it past that, keep
going until you see Jiang Wei at the end. Defeat him and then defeat Xiahou Ba
to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to defeat Jiang Wei before he and Xiahou Ba manage to meet. It
|
| might be better to play as Guo Huai for this, as you can control the
|
| progress of Xiahou Ba. If you do all of the actions to slow him down, you
|
| should have more than enough time to make it to Jiang Wei and defeat him
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.------------------------.
======| 5. East Gates Battle |
'------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Xiahou Ba*, Zhuge Dan

Your goal at the beginning of the battle is to capture the two frontline
bases.
Once you capture one, though, the enemies will begin retreating down the
western
path. However, Sima Zhao thinks the enemy is behaving strangely and opts to
head
east. If you're playing as Sima Zhao or Wang Yuanji, then head east, but the
other two will continue south on the western path.

Both parties will meet with an ambush, so defeat the officers and start making
your way to the southeast garrison. Once you make it there, defeat the
officers
that appear from the southeastern checkpoint, then clear the garrison itself.
This will trigger the whole group to start making their way to the escape
point.

When you reach the eastern garrison, the gates will shut and an ambush
appears.
Defeat the officer and then continue to the northeast. Ding Feng will now
appear
in the northern base, as well as set fire to the northeast area. Defeat him
and
then continue to the next area, where Lianshi and another officer appear. Take
them out and then it's a clear shot to the escape point.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| You need to make sure all of your allies survive the battle, which shouldn't
|
| be too difficult. Since everyone splits up near the beginning, you need to
|
| make sure you work quickly to clear a path to the southeast garrison. Once
|
| you do, you'll meet up with everyone and should be together for the rest of
|
| the battle.

'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.-----------------------------------.
======| 5-X. Battle of New Hefei Castle |
'-----------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Guo Huai, Sima Shi, Zhuge Dan

When the battle begins, go forward and drop down to the large room on the
eastern side. Here, defeat all the officers and this will activate the wind
generator. Once you do that, find the stairs in the southeast corner of the
room
to find a hallway of statues. Defeat the officer and then find the path that
goes onto some balcony-like areas with ballistae.

Defeat the captains to seize the ballistae,
captains/officers to seize those ballistae.
there
are stairs on the west side of the room, as
these to reach some of the enemies that let
then use to hit any nearby
If you fall off the platform,
well on the east side. You can use
you seize the ballistae.

Once all of the ballistae have been taken, as well as the Wu forces have been
eradicated, you can head to the area outside the castle. You need to take the
two garrisons in front of the Wu main camp. When you do that, the commander of
the Wu forces will be mad and open up the gates to the main camp, so defeat
him
to finish the battle.

.----------------------------.
======| 6. Battle of Mt. Tielong |
'----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Deng Ai, Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Zhong Hui

At the beginning, you can either go south or east. If you go east, you can
fulfill the Hypothetical condition for this stage. If you go south, you won't
be
able to and Guo Huai will end up dying at the end of the battle. Defeat the
officer nearby, then drop off the ledge and then choose between the next two
ledges after taking out some more officers.

The one to the southeast will place you into the central area of the map,
where
you will find plenty of officers. The other ledge will lead you into the
central
garrison, where you will be ambushed by some officers, including Ma Dai. This
will eventually trigger an event where Guo Huai gets injured.

As you leave the garrison or go south in the plains area, the supply depot
will
open and Xingcai will start escorting some wooden oxen to the south. Follow
them
and destroy all of the oxen, as well as Xingcai and any other officers. There
will be another ambush, one of the archer kind, on the southern path, so lure
the officers off the ledge above and defeat them both.

As you exit the southern path towards the west side, quite a few officers will
appear, so head up to them and defeat them all, with Liao Hua and Zhang Yi
being
the main targets to open the gates in the western base. As you exit the base
to
the north, Li Jian shows up and depending on what you did earlier, he may
injure
Guo Huai or won't try to trick him. After taking him out, Jiang Wei and a
whole
bunch of officers show up, so defeat them all and then Jiang Wei to finish the
battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE-------------------------------------.
| You need to rescue Guo Huai without him getting injured at all, which
|
| involves a specific process and set of rules. One thing you should never do
|
| is enter the central garrison, as this will trigger the rams Shu will use
|
| to break down the gates to Guo Huai's base and injure him.
|
|
|
| When the battle begins, go east instead of south, until you happen upon Li
|
| Jian. Defeat him and he'll withdraw after stealing some Wei clothes. Now,
|
| go south until you see Xingcai talk about supplies, so follow them and
|
| destroy all of the little ox carts. Keep going along the southern path and
|
| destroy the reinforcements that appear and then Li Jian will appear again.
|
| If you defeated him at the beginning of the battle, you will be allowed to
|
| take him out again without him opening the gates, thus being able to rescue
|
| Guo Huai.

'------------------------------------
NOTE-------------------------------------'

.-------------------------------------------.
======| 7. Guanqiu Jian and Wen Qin's Rebellion |
'-------------------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Deng Ai, Guo Huai*, Jia Chong, Sima Shi

When the battle starts, you'll see Sima Zhao and Sima Shi say something about
being careful for ambushes, and you'll see two highlighted green spots. Go to
the western of the two and Wen Yang will appear, where he'll head to your main
base. He cannot be attacked right now, so turn around and he'll follow him to
your base to view a cutscene.

After it's over, you'll get a report that some reinforcements from Wu will be
arriving soon on the western side of the map. Go there and capture the western
base by defeating the officer and then three waves of reinforcements will
come.
The first one has three officers, the second two and the last will be headed
by
Ding Feng and have two other officers.

Defeat them all and then head all the way across the map to the eastern base
via
one of the southern routes. Note that Wen Yang will appear again to attack
your
main base, but ignore him and concentrate on the other things. At the base,
which Wen Yang should probably have appeared in, is unlockable via the
gatekeeper. Go inside and defeat both Wen Qin and Wen Yang, then head into the
middle of the battlefield.

There will be two officers who should have already left their bases, as well
as
three still inside. Once you get the word about the northern base, the three
other garrisons will open, so defeat those three officers and approach the
northern base to make some soldiers defect. They will open the gates for you,
so
go inside and defeat Guanqiu Jian to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE-------------------------------------.
| The description for the star is a bit misleading on the stage select
|
| as you need to make sure you defeat all other officers on the map besides
|
| Wen Qin, Wen Yang and Guanqiu Jian. The best way to do this is to play as
|
| Sima Shi, as he is one of the culprits that can ruin this if left to the
|
| AI.
|
|
|
| Start by going to the left of the two highlighted spots, which will trigger
|
| Wen Yang to go towards the main camp. Follow him to view the cutscene, then
|
| go after the Wu reinforcements on the west side of the map. Defeat the
|
| three waves and once you do, follow the path to the north until you get to
|
| a point where you can drop down into the middle area.
|
|
|
| Doing this serves two purposes, which will cancel the attack on the east
|
| base (it's a good thing) and draw out the three officers in the northern
|
| garrisons. Defeat all other officers on the map besides the three you need,
|
| then head into the eastern base. If you see Wen Yang mention a pincer
|
| attack and then saving his allies, then you're good. He'll have a short
|
| dialogue with Sima Shi when you get close, which will be your cue to defeat
|
| Wen Qin first, then Wen Yang and finally Guanqiu Jian.

======| 8. Battle of Xuchang |
'------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Zhuge Dan*

Go east until you find some officers, so defeat them and then head north to
the
objective. Some rebels will ambush you, so defeat the three unit commanders
(as
well as the officer just for fun) to clear it. It doesn't seem Sima Shi is
here,
so go north into the next area.

As soon as you step into the next area, you'll see some peasants asking for
help. There is one on each of the paths in the vicinity and all you have to do
is defeat the Unit Commander fighting each peasant. After rescuing all three,
go
north through the now opened gate and search the three spots for Sima Shi.
While
exploring these three spots, the gates to the area to the west will open.

You will notice that Sima Shi's bodyguards are in the area, but they are
surrounded by rebel forces. As you did earlier, defeat the three unit
commanders
to rescue the bodyguards, who tell you that Sima Shi is in the garden area to
the north. Before you even get the chance to rescue him, Sima Shi is defeated.
Defeat the rebel forces in the area, which will trigger Wen Qin's appearance
in
the eastern side of the map. All that is left is to go over there and defeat
him
to finish the battle.

.-----------------------------.
======| 9H. Zhuge Dan's Rebellion |
'-----------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Zhong Hui

At the beginning of the stage, go west and after clearing the gate, the bridge
ahead will be destroyed. As you start heading south now, an ambush group will
appear, so defeat the officers at the base of the cliff, then defeat the fire
archers at the top, which will trigger Zhu Yi to flee.

There are two paths here, one that goes underneath and one above, so take the
one above. Eventually, you'll come to an officer preparing to use a catapult,
so
defeat him to take control of it. Use the catapults to get rid of the
ballistae,
then unite with the other group again.

Clear the area in the south and then Zhu Yi will lead an ambush to the same
place, so clean them up. When Zhu Yigoes back to his commander, he is executed
and some of his other men will defect to your side. Sun Chen will send out a
warning, which is two officers, to anyone else who would like to defect, so
hunt
them both down and get rid of them before they can meet.

Once you do that, you'll have two new allies on your side. They will open the
gates to the main camp, so go inside and start doing some cleaning. When you
open up the eastern gates, some more men on Wu's side will defect to yours.
This
will open up the final area, so go inside and defeat Lu Kang, who surrounded
himself with some arbalests. All that's left is to go and defeat Zhuge Dan to
finish the battle.

.---------------------------------.
======| 10H. Wei Emperor's Last Stand |
'---------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Zhong Hui

Go east at the beginning and defeat Cao Mao, making him retreat to the
northwest
base. Head over there and defeat the officer guarding the door, then go inside
and defeat Cao Mao once again. Now, go east and through the central gate,
where
you will face down an ambush.

Defeat the officer in the ambush and continue north again. When you reach the
main gates to the throne room, you'll find them shut with no way of opening
them. However, Jia Chong appears with a fellow officer and will unlock them
from
the inside. Go inside and defeat Cao Mao once more to finish the battle.
 .--------------------------.
======| 11H. Battle of Taoyang |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Zhong Hui

To begin, defeat the officers right outside your starting position, then start
heading to the southwest base. Defeat the officer there to capture it, then
head
east towards the next one. Do the same here as the previous one, then once
more
in the southeast one (you can only enter from the west gate).

Once you take care of those three bases, the enemy will attempt to send out
messengers to their main unit. Head to the southwest corner of the castle and
intercept the messengers, of which there are a couple. There is a ladder
nearby
that you can use to breach the castle, so hop down and inside.

At the top, defeat the officers to open the gate, as well as stop the arrow
attacks. Once the way is open, drop down into the main area and clear the area
there of all the officers to begin your chase to Xiahou Ba, who should now be
attempting to escape from the back of the castle.

Of course, there will be officers between you and the back gate, so take them
down and continue your pursuit, which likely has ended thanks to Deng Ai
ambushing Xiahou Ba. All you have to do now is defeat him in combat to finish
the level.

.-------------------------.
======| 12H. Battle of Jiange |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Deng Ai, Wang Yuanji, Wen Yang

At the beginning of the battle, go north and once you encounter the first
officer, some messengers will appear ahead. Run as fast as possible and chase
them down (there are three), as they will tell their allies that you are
coming
and it will ruin the decoy plan.

Now that you got rid of the messengers, start making your way to the
mountaintop. This is easily done by defeating Ju Fu and Chen Zhi, then going
through the gates that open. At the top, defeat Zhuge Zhan and that will take
care of the enemy pincer attack. Now you can start making your way down the
mountain and towards the enemy main camp.

When you make it to the enemy camp, the officers guarding the three gates will
rally and become slightly tougher. Defeating two of these officers will make
the
third fall back into the main camp, so give chase and take care of that one.
As
soon as you step foot into the main camp, Yueying will appear with some
Juggernauts. Take her out and then go into the newly opened area to defeat
Jiang
Wei.
What appears to be the end of the battle isn't, as Jiang Wei falls back and an
extra section of the map appears with more enemies. As you approach the next
area, ambush troops will appear to the east, while Liao Hua will commence an
archer attack on the cliff to the west. There will be a few officers around,
including Xingcai, who when defeated will open the gate to the east.

Ma Dai will appear to the south and begin causing a rockslide, making boulders
roll down the path. In the northeast corner of this area is a hidden path that
you can use to bypass the boulders and get behind Ma Dai, making it easier to
get rid of him. On the path leading to the western section, Dong Jue will make
some fire archers appear, halting the Wei progress once again.

Continue past the area with the fire archers and you'll be ambushed in the
south-southwestern garrison. Defeat the officer there and then defeat Dong Jue
to cease the fire archer attack. There will be two officers outside of the
main
camp, one of which is Guan Suo. Defeat them both, then go inside and defeat
Jiang Wei once again to finish the battle for good.

.--------------------------.
======| 13H. Battle of Chengdu |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji

Your first objective in the battle is to capture Fu Castle, which is only open
from the west, so go that way and defeat the officer inside to take it. When
you
do, Ma Dai and some other officers will appear to the east and head towards
the
Wei main camp. However, you can't use the shorter of the two paths unless Jia
Chong defeated the officer in the base, so you'll have to go back the way you
came.

Ma Dai withdraws once defeated, so continue on to Luo Castle, which appears to

be empty for now. A cutscene will occur inside with Liu Shan appearing. While
you're fighting him, Jiang Wei and another officer will show up, so defeat all
three. Once you step foot out of Luo Castle, Yueying will activate siege
weapons
all over the map.

Your objective now is to go east and take out Yueying to stop all of the siege
weapons. When you make it to the base where Yueying is, Guan Yinping and two
other officers appear, so take out all three to open the base, then defeat
Yueying to deactivate all of the siege weapons. Note that you'll likely need
to
go back to Deng Ai and clear the area around him, as he'll probably have a
good
number of officers surrounding him.

Once everything is clear, start making your way to Chengdu Castle. When you
get
to the front of it, Ma Dai will appear again, leading some cavalry. Defeating
him will open up the two paths on the east and west sides of the castle. In
order to open the inner gates to Chengdu, you'll need to defeat Guan Suo on
the
west side and Jiang Wei on the east side.

When you do open the inner gates, defeat the officers on each side if you
want,
then go to Liu Shan. Xingcai will also be there, guarding him, and if you
defeat
her first, then Liu Shan will rally become stronger. Defeating Liu Shan will
end
the battle.

.-------------------------.
======| 8W. Battle of Xuchang |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Zhuge Dan

In order to play this stage, you must have gotten all the stars on the stages
prior to this one. Once you do, talk to Wen Yang in the camp to start the
hypothetical route.

This stage plays out mostly the stage as the historical version, although
there
are a few key differences. Wen Yang will plant defending forces on the east
side, and then try to convince Wen Hu that their father is doing wrong. Defeat
him once and then a second and third time to make him defect to Wei. Once you
do, Sima Shi will appear in the northwest and still be alive. When Sima Zhao
meets up with Sima Shi, he will be rescued and Wen Qin will spawn in the
northeast. Defeat him to finish the battle.

.--------------------------.
======| 9W. Capture of Chengdu |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Deng Ai, Guo Huai, Sima Shi, Xiahou Ba

Your goal is to storm Chengdu Castle, but as you approach it, you learn the
gates are shut tight. Sima Shi says to go to the eastern garrison and capture
it, which will help in the construction of rams to break the gates open.
Defeat
the officers and then make your way to Chengdu, only to have Ma Dai appear to
try and destroy the rams. Once you get rid of him and his fellow officers, the
ram will break into the gate on the east side.

Don't worry about the officers on the west side and defeat the ones on the
east,
then go straight to Jiang Wei in the north. At around this time, Guan Suo and
Guan Yinping will appear in the northeast and start making their way towards
your main camp. After disposing of Jiang Wei, go straight after the Guan
siblings. Also, Liu Shan will appear at the south end of the map, along with
plenty of other Shu officers.

Start making your way to the southern end of the map. You'll encounter Yueying
in Luo Castle, so you will need to defeat her to open the gate. As soon as
stepping foot outside of Luo Castle, Jiang Wei will appear in the base
slightly
to the south and light fire to the little area. Go into the base and defeat
him,
then continue working your way around the western path and to the south.

There will be a few officers in the way, as well as Xingcai guarding the front
gate to the enemy main camp. Once you clear the other officers out of the way,
go and defeat Liu Shan to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| To get the star on this map, which unlocks 9W-X. Defeat the Rebels, all you
|
| need to do is make sure you defeat all other officers on the map before
|
| defeating Liu Shan at the very bottom of the map. Make sure you check the
|
| officer listing before confronting Liu Shan and if he's the only one
|
| remaining, you can defeat him.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.---------------------------.
======| 9W-X. Defeat the Rebels |
'---------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sima Yi, Zhang Chunhua

At the beginning of the battle, head west and then north into the first
highlighted area. It seems like the enemy troops are frightened by the fact
that
Sima Yi is there. Anyways, go west into the small room to encounter an officer
building some siege weapons. Defeat him to reclaim the weapons, then go
through
the next door that opened.

It seems that Zhong Hui has kidnapped the Emperor, so start heading north.
Defeat the officer in the way, then start going east. There will be a blocked
gate, so defeat the officer and once you step foot into the next area, you'll
get a report that Zhong Hui has captured the supply depot and barracks.

Start heading towards both the supply depot and barracks, defeating the
officers
inside to reclaim them as your own. Once you do, Zhong Hui will reappear in
the
central square, so head there to have the gates close on you before you can
enter. You'll need to defeat Xun You to open the gates, then you can head past
the to confront Zhong Hui. Defeat him and the battle will continue.

Zhong Hui will reappear in the throne room for the final time. Note that
sometimes the door will remain close, but just move away from it and go back
to
have it open. Once inside, Zhong Hui will spring an ambush with nothing but
regular troops, so just concentrate on him to finish the battle.

.------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------.
| There is a star for this battle, but all it entails is for you to simply
|
| win the battle. If you follow the walkthrough above, then you should get it
|
| with no problem.
|
'------------------------------------
NOTE--------------------------------------'

.-------------------------.
======| 10W. Battle of Jianye |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Zhuge Dan

Your first objective in the battle is to head to the northwest garrison and
capture it. As you approach it, Sima Zhao remarks that it's too quiet in that
garrison considering there's a battle. Once you step inside, an ambush will
appear, so defeat the two officers to clear it and open the gates back up.

Capturing the western castle will cause some troops to escape from it and
venture into the enemy strategist's base, leaving it open to attack. Go there
and defeat Lu Kang, then continue through the gate that opened in the west
section of that room. Note that there will now be ballistae scattered around
on
the path leading to the central room, so make sure you destroy those first
when
you see them.

Once you get into the eastern hallway, there will be spike traps on the ground
that will trigger when you walk over them. On the southern end of the hallway
will be Ding Feng, whose defeat will deactivate all of the traps encountered.
In
the next area, you'll have to fight Lianshi.

When Lianshi is done, use the nearby stairs to reach the throne room where Sun
Xiu is located. However, before you can enter, Lu Kang appears once again and
will be slightly tougher than previously. Once you defeat him, the main gate
will open and you can take down Sun Xiu to finish the battle.

.-----------------------.
======| 11W. Defend Chengdu |
'-----------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Sima Shi, Wen Yang, Xiahou Ba

There will be some forces inside of Chengdu at the beginning of the battle and
you will need to find the three officers responsible for letting them in. They
are located on the southern end of the east and west sides, as well as the
path
connecting the two. Once they have been taken care of, it's time to get rid of
the forces outside of the castle.

Around this time is when Jiang Wei will appear in the northeast and move
towards
the castle. He should be your first priority, so defeat him and any other
officers in the area before clearing the middle path of officers. As you're
fighting them in the middle, tigers will appear and you'll need to go to the
garrison on the east side.

Once you arrive, you'll see some Juggernauts sitting there, but Yueying will
pop
up. You must defeat her before you'll be able to use the Juggernauts, so do
that
and then attack one of the tigers with it to scare them all away. You may have
noticed by now that all of the officers that fall under Meng Huo will reappear
if they have been defeated.

In order to stop this from happening, you'll need to go to the garrison on the
west side of the map. When you arrive, Zhurong will appear and attempt to stop
you. Defeat her and then commandeer one of the catapults. However, you can't
use
it yet, so continue to Luo Castle and defeat Meng Huo who is inside. This will
allow you to use the catapult from before to set fire to Luo Castle (you don't
need to fire it at all, so just drive it to the castle).

Jiang Wei will appear just outside of the south exit of Luo Castle, so take
him
out and he'll move into a base east of the castle, which is only accessible by
using the eastern path. As you're going towards Jiang Wei, Guan Suo will
appear
in the northwest, so go and take him outand then come back down. Other than
Guan
Yinping, there isn't much else standing between you and Jiang Wei, so defeat
him
to end the battle.

.--------------------------------.
======| 12W. Final Conflict at Chibi |
'--------------------------------'
- CHARACTERS - Jia Chong, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji

Sima Zhao and Jia Chong go up the left side of the map, while Sima Shi and
Wang
Yuanji will use the middle of the map. At the beginning, go up the middle path
and defeat any officers in your way, as well as clear out the area until you
get
a report saying that a fire attack is on its way. You will need to be on the
southernmost ship (marked on your map) until Ding Feng appears on your ship
and
sets it on fire.

Defeat him and the ships will be reconnected, so start heading towards the
southwest corner as soon as possible. The reason for doing so is because of
enemy reinforcements will appear in the southwest. Go and take care of them
and
then Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua will appear as allied reinforcements in the
south, linking the southern area to the main camp.

Around this time, Bao Sanniang will appear in the south and bring some
reinforcements from Nanzhong, which include Meng Huo and Zhurong. Go to the
front of the enemy main camp and defeta Yueying to open the gates. Once you
do,
you might want to clear the area of any other officers before going inside and
defeating Jiang Wei to finish the battle.

======| 1. Yellow Turban Conflict |
'-----------------------------'
- CHARACTER - Zhang Jiao
- UNLOCKED - Clear Shu Chapter 1 (Yellow Turban Rebellion)

Your task at the beginning of the battle is to rescue Zhang Liang and Zhang
Bao.
Since Zhang Bao is closer, start by heading north and clearing the area around
him, including any officers who might show up. Once you do, start heading east
to where Zhang Liang is located, making sure to take a pit stop in the area
with
the stairs to take out any officers there.

Rescuing both officers will make the enemy officers change their course due to
the sorcery, which will result in them going to the altar. Go back and defeat
all of the officers that will likely be swarming your altar, including Sun
Jian,
Huang Gai and Han Dang. Zhao Yun will now appear in the northeast, so go there
and defeat him, then start moving south down the eastern path.

Note that more Imperial forces will arrive in the northwest and northeast,
consisting of Liu Bei's forces, as well as Cao Cao's. You can go and greet
them
if you want, and after that, start making your way to the enemy main camp.
When
you reach the garrison with Huangfu Song, he will close the gates, but
defeating
all the officers around will make Zhang Jiao set it ablaze, opening the main
camp. Defeat He Jin to finish the battle.

.--------------------------.
======| 2. Eliminate Dong Zhuo |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTER - Diao Chan
- UNLOCKED - Clear Wei Chapter 2 (Battle of Hulao Gate)

Go north at the beginning, then go around and defeat Xu Rong to open the gate
that leads south. You'll see your father fighting with Li Su, so defeat him to
rescue your father. Continue to the next area, where you'll see a bunch of
ballistae, but before you have a chance to say anything, they will activate
and
the doors will close.

Defeat the officer nearby, then exit to the north and take the newly opened
gate. Follow this path to the central area, where Diao Chan will talk about
trying to alliance themselves with Lu Bu. So now, go to the south and make
your
way to the southeast to where Lu Bu is located.

Once you get to him, he will defect and join your side. Now, start making your
way towards Dong Zhuo, who will have reinforcements join the battle. Defeat
any
officers that get in your way and when you get to the middle of the map, Wang
Yun will head east and go north to cut off Dong Zhuo is he decides to escape.

When you get to the west gate, there will be an ambush. You need to defeat the
unit commander in the north by the gate, as well as the one to the south.
Continue on until you get before the throne room, where Dong Zhuo will sic
Zhang
Liao on you while he tries to escape. Defeat Zhang Liao and give chase,
defeating Dong Zhuo to end the battle.

.--------------------------.
======| 3. Chase at Hulao Gate |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTER - Dong Zhuo
- UNLOCKED - Clear Shu Chapter 2 (Battle of Hulao Gate)

Go forward on the only path at the beginning, defeating any officers in your
way, with the first two being Li Dian and Yue Jin. Continue along, defeating
more officers, until you run into Dian Wei at the second gate. He runs before
saying anything about Diao Chan, but the gate is now open.

In this area, go from ally to ally, defeating the officer and trying to obtain
some information about Diao Chan. The first one is fighting with Xiahou Dun
and
Zhang Liao is fighting with Guan Yu, with the rest fighting generic officers.
There is one officer you need to drop in from some stairs nearby, who when
rescued, will stop nearby ballistae.

As you get close to Sishui Gate, ambush troops led by Zhang Fei will appear,
with Liu Bei also close by. You must defeat both of them in order to make
Sishui
open. Once you pass through Sishui, you should see a bunch of arbalests, so
destroy them all before concentrating on any other enemies.

You must defeat Cao Cao and Sun Jian, which will make the enemy main camp's
gates open. Once they are open, go inside of there and take down Yuan Shao.
With
his defeat, both Lu Bu and Diao Chan will appear in the nearby base. When you
rendezvous with them, they will defect and you'll have to defeat them to
finish
the battle.

.-----------------------------.
======| 4. Xiapi Defensive Battle |
'-----------------------------'
- CHARACTER - Lu Bu
- UNLOCKED - Clear Wei Chapter 6-X (Battle of Xiapi)

Your first overall objective at the beginning of the battle is to head over to
the floodgates and close them, which will call in reinforcements for your
forces. However, there is another problem at hand, which is the possible
defection of some of your own officers. Thus, you should concentrate on
clearing
out the enemy officers in and immediately around Xiapi Castle to prevent your
own from defecting.

Once you helped out your own officers, head on over to the floodgates and
defeat
Jia Xu in order to close them. When you do, start going around and defeating
any
other officers that you find, with Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei being
directly
outside of the southern entrance to the main castle.

Start making your way to Cao Cao's main camp in the southwest corner. Defeat
Xu
Zhu to open the gates and when you enter, Cao Cao will retreat, which will
trigger Guo Jia to light the main camp on fire. Defeat him and Cao Cao will
reappear in the northwest corner, with him trying to take over Xiapi Castle.
Head up there and you'll find Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan with him. Defeat Cao
Cao to finish the battle.

.-------------------------.
======| 5. Skirmish at Guandu |
'-------------------------'
- CHARACTER - Yuan Shao
- UNLOCKED - Clear Shu Chapter 3-X (Disturbance at Guandu)

At the beginning of the battle, head for Baima on the east side of the map. As
you get near it, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei will start moving towards it as well.
Note that during this time, Cao Pi will go for Yanjin in the center of the
map.
For now, go to Baima and defeat Guan Yu before Liu Bei and Zhang Fei get
there,
as their meeting will make them all withdraw.

With Baima safe, head to Yanjin and defeat Cao Pi, who should already be there
attacking it. While defending Yanjin, Xiahou Yuan will start moving towards
the
northwest garrison, so go there after Yanjin is safe. Once you take out Xiahou
Yuan, start heading south down the western path, only to have some arbalests
block the path.
Navigate past the arbalests and defeat Guo Jia in the base nearby to make them
stop shooting. Make your way to Cao Cao's main camp, defeating Xu Zhu to make
the gates open. At this point, some reinforcements will arrive, so you might
want to go and take care of them. After that, head to Cao Cao and defeat him
to
finish the battle.

.------------------------------.
======| 6. Nanzhong Rescue Mission |
'------------------------------'
- CHARACTER - Zhurong
- UNLOCKED - Clear Shu Chapter 11W-X (Pacification of Nanzhong)

Meng Huo is nowhere to be seen at the beginning of the battle, plus the Shu
forces are attacking your officers and even main camp. Go to each officer in
trouble, starting with the main camp, defeat the enemy officer harassing them
and learn any information as to the whereabouts of Meng Huo. One of them will
point out an allied officer in the northwest section of the center area, so go
there.

If you use the stairs that look like a bridge on the map, you'll see Guan
Yinping ambush you on the west side with some rock throwers. Defeat her to
make
the rock throwers stop, then continue to the last ally in trouble, defeating
the
enemy officer to rescue him. Another enemy officer will appear from the
central
garrison, which is where Meng Huo is located and fighting with Zhao Yun.

Defeat the other officer, then rescue Meng Huo and exit out the northern gate,
only to have some enemy reinforcements appear in the middle eastern area of
the
map. Go back and defeat them, then continue towards the enemy main camp. At
the
one garrison, you'll have to defeat both Bao Sanniang and Guan Suo to
continue.
After that, it's a straight shot to the enemy main camp, where you'll find
Zhuge
Liang and Yueying. Defeating Zhuge Liang will end the battle.

.--------------------------.
======| 7. Phantoms of Xuchang |
'--------------------------'
- CHARACTER - Zuo Ci
- UNLOCKED - Clear Wu Chapter 11W (Assault on Xuchang)

At the beginning of the battle, defeat the officer nearby to set up an altar
that will summon phantom soldiers. This will open the gate to the north, where
you'll find another officer, who will open the gates to the east in the
previous
area once defeated. Follow this path, defeating the officers in the way, until
you arrive at the designated spot.

Here, you will need to take out the officer in charge of the area, noting that
the ballistae are active, so destroy those first. Another altar will be placed
here, so continue to the north. There will likely be arbalests here, but you
might be able to breeze by them if you're fast enough. If the messenger gets
to
Cao Ren, don't worry, as Zuo Ci will still summon phantoms of Lu Bu and Dong
Zhuo.

Either way, defeat Cao Ren and then head into the arena-like area to the west
to
find Xiahou Dun, so take him out as well. Go south and then west only to have
to
backtrack because of Sima Yi seeing through your tricks and sending engineers
to
take out your altars. Go back to the area with the arbalests lined up again
and
then north into the area with Li Dian.

Defeat Li Dian first, then go north to find Sima Yi, who will sic some
pyrocannons on you. Destroy them first, then go after Sima Yi. Once you defeat
Sima Yi, the gate on the west side of the area where you fought him will open,
allowing you access to Cao Pi, who also has Zhenji with him. Defeating Cao Pi
will end the battle.

.-----------------------------.
======| 8. Rescue at Baidi Castle |
'-----------------------------'
- CHARACTER - Meng Huo
- UNLOCKED - Clear Jin Chapter 9W (Capture of Chengdu)

At the beginning of the battle, there are a total of six officers attacking
the
Shu forces surrounding and inside the castle. Clear out all of them, including
the two inside, who are Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. Once it's clear, go to the
central area, where you will be thrown against a lot more officers, including
Yue Jin and Li Dian.

You will need to defeat the above two in order to gain control of the
ballistae,
so do that. Around this time, Zhang Liao will begin preparing a boat to leave
from the northeast corner. You need to head to the area in the north part of
the
center of the map, defeat Han Hao and use the catapult to try and destroy the
boat.

If you fail, then you have to deal with Zhang Liao who lands near Baidi
Castle.
Also, some Nanzhong reinforcements are set to appear from the south, but Wang
Yi
shows up and blocks them. Defeat her to make your reinforcements show up, then
continue along the southern path towards Cao Cao's main camp. You find out the
main gates are shut and you will need to navigate through some bases to get
inside.

There will be a few generic officers in the way, but the big ones appear
inside
of the three bases you need to take. The first one has Cao Pi and Zhenji, with
the second having Pang De and the third being occupied by Guo Jia. Make your
way
into the main camp, where you'll find Cao Cao being guarded by Dian Wei and Xu
Zhu. Defeat Cao Cao to finish the battle.

Q) When was Dynasty Warriors 8 released?

A) It was initially released in Japan on February 28, 2013 as a Playstation 3
exclusive. In North America and Europe, it was released on July 16, 2013
and
July 19, 2013 for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Q) Will all of the DLC that was released in Japan come out in other
territories?
A) I'm not sure if it will or not, but they have released the DLC for previous

WEI [WEI6TH]

Character: Xiahou Dun

Stage: Pacification of Jing Province [Wei Xtreme Stage 5]
Condition: Defeat Guan Ping, Guan Xing and Guan Suo within 9 minutes of
starting the battle.
Weapon Box: North of Guan Yu's main camp.
Weapon: Frozen Fang
Base Attack: 59
Frost 10, Barricade 9, Fear 9, Induction 9, Desperation
Details: This is a fight where you'll have to defeat multiple officers
quickly and having Cyclone on your weapon will help a lot. Not because of
having to eliminate the sons of Yu, but when you approach the central hill, Wu
reinforcements will arrive and will take out your forces to the northeast that
are defending the main camp; not to mention that the boost in enemy morale
will
give Cao Cao problems to the northwest.

From the starting position in the northeast, head southwest to the bottom of
the
hill where Ma Liang is stationed. You may take out Wang Fu along the way,
since
that will help the officers to the northeast survive a little longer. In any
case, Guan Suo will drop down from the hill and attack you. Defeat Guan Suo
and
Ma Liang to get the ladder set up in place. There maybe dialog spam that will
take place. Climb up the ladder and defeat Guan Ping at the top of the hill.

By now, the Wu reinforcements will be pushing towards the main camp, head them
off and defeat them ASAP. Cao Cao will still be hanging in there to the
northwest, but rush over to his side once the northeast area is under control.
Clear out the troops around Cao Cao and head down to the south. Guan Xing
will
arrive near the gate. Defeat him and if everything is taken care of within 9
minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Dian Wei

Stage: Mt. Dingjun Rescue Mission [Wei Xtreme Stage 3]
Condition: Destroy all of the ballistae and juggernauts and defeat Fa Zheng
within 3 minutes after the rock attack starts.
Weapon Box: East of Zhuge Liang's main camp.
Weapon: Thunder Axe
Base Attack: 61
Thunder 10, Explosive 9, Flurry 9, Whirlwind 9, Thorns 8
Details: Fairly self-explanatory for Dian Wei's requirements. Play the
stage
as normal until you get Guo Jia's request to head down the eastern path after
Shu's forces begin their retreat. Zhang Bao and ballistae are set up in the
center portion of the map. Eliminate them. Head over to the southeast where
you'll find Yueying and the juggernauts. Eliminate them. Head westward and
you'll get the message that Fa Zheng has begun his rock attack. This is when
the timer will start. You'll get ambushed by Ma Chao and Ma Dai with cavalry
units along the way up the hill. You can ignore them and rush over to Fa
Zheng
and defeat him before the 3 minutes are up. If you are successful, you'll get
a
treasure message.

Character: Zhang Liao

Stage: Assault on Wujun [Lu Bu Hypothetical Stage 7]
Condition: Carry out Chen Gong's plot within 7 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: In the center garrison where Chen Gong prepares his ambush.
Weapon: Shadow Slayers
Base Attack: 56
Slash 10, Chain 9, Protection 8, Spurt 8, Agility
Details: This is a fight where you'll need to follow Chen Gong's
instructions
as well as defeat officers at a swift clip. Move from the northeast to the
northwest defeating ambush troops along the way. Chen Gong will then ask you
to
find the ambush troops in the western castle. Search the area until you find
Han Dang and company. Once you defeat the ambush pincer attack unit within
the
7 minute time limit, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Cao Cao

Stage: Pacification of Jing Province [Wei Xtreme Stage 5]
Condition: Defeat Lu Meng and Lu Xun within 6 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: Near Guan Suo's initial location.
Weapon: Storm Sword
Base Attack: 52
Cyclone 10, Fear 9, Harmony 9, Spurt 8, Chain 8
Details: The approach to get Cao Cao's 6th weapon is similar to Xiahou
Dun's
path described earlier in the guide. Defeating Ma Liang at the base of the
hill
will trigger the arrival of the Wu reinforcements. Once they arrive, head
over
to the east and head them off before they reach the main camp. Lu Xun and Lu
Meng are among the reinforcements. Defeat the two of them within 6 minutes
and
you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Xu Zhu
Stage: Defense of Xinye [Wei Xtreme Stage 6, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Defeat Liao Hua within 8 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: At the open area between the two garrisons south of the Eight
Gates Formation.
Weapon: Crystal Cleaver
Base Attack: 56
Frost 10, Recovery 9, Jolt 9, Flurry 8, Awareness
Details: Most of the instructions for obtaining the 6th weapons are
straightforward and relatively painless. This one is no exception.

Rescue your allied officers along the way to the south by defeating the enemy
officers that they are engaged with. To get to the second officer pairing,
you'll need to ride a horse and jump to reach the platform and get to the gate
on the other side. Liao Hua is a gatekeeper and isn't engaged with an allied
officer. Defeat him to reach Cao Ren. If you defeat Liao Hua within the 8
minute mark, you'll get a treasure message.
Character: Xiahou Yuan
Stage: Battle of Zitong [Wei Xtreme Stage 7]
Condition: Defeat Huang Zhong and Yan Yan within 5 minutes after Huang
Zhong's
arrow attack starts.
Weapon Box: East of Huang Zhong's location.
Weapon: Dawn Bringer
Base Attack: 52
Flash 10, Whirlwind 9, Survival 9, Fear 8, Awareness
Details: Start the stage by clearing out the enemy officers near the main
camp. Next, Zhang He will head over to the supply depot to the west. He'll
get
ambushed. Defeat the ambush unit lead by Zhang Bao. Go outside of the supply
depot to the west. Head along to the path to the south and you will run into
some message spam. Ma Chao and Ma Dai will head to the main camp with their
cavalry units. Next is the arrow attack from Huang Zhong.

Go to the raised path in the center and you'll first run into Yan Yan. Defeat
him and a bit further along, you'll run into Old Man #2. The archery volley
that comes from the peons can be brutal, but having a horse with the Shadow
ability as well as Secret Arts will help nullify that. If you defeat Yan Yan
and Huang Zhong within the time limit, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Xu Huang
Stage: Defense of Chang'an [Wei Xtreme Stage 2]
Condition: Defeat Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and Han Sui within 4 minutes of
starting the battle without losing a single allied officer.
Weapon Box: The open area across the river south from Xu Huang's starting
location.
Weapon: Sharp Destruction
Base Attack: 61
Cyclone 10, Barricade 9, Aggression 9, Jubilation 8, Harmony 8
Details: From your starting position, head over to the southwest and you'll
run into Cheng Yi. Zhang Heng's starting position is southwest of Cheng Yi's,
however while you're taking care of Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng will come out towards
your position and you can take care of both of them fairly quickly. Han Sui
is
in the back of the castle, so go in a counter-clockwise route inside the
castle
to reach him. Once Han Sui is defeated and all of your allies are accounted
for
within 4 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Zhang He
Stage: Battle of Zitong [Wei Xtreme Stage 7]
Condition: Protect the front lines and defeat the ambush units at the
supply depot within 6 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: Northwest of the supply depot.
Weapon: Demon Summoners
Base Attack: 37
Slash 10, Survival 9, Thorns 8, Resolve, Agility
Details: The procedure for Zhang He's 6th weapon is the same listed as the
first steps outlined for Xiahou Yuan (The only difference is that you're
playing
as Zhang He when the ambush occurs in the supply depot :P). Once you beat
Zhang
Bao within the first 6 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Cao Ren

Stage: Defense of Fan Castle [Wei Xtreme Stage 4]
Condition: Carry out the Wei Forces' water attack within 11 minutes of
starting the battle.
Weapon Box: East of the center bridge on the battlefield.
Weapon: Steel Fang and Scale
Base Attack: 62
Cyclone 10, Velocity 9, Triumph 9, Swiftness, Resolve
Details: If the conditions for obtaining Cao Ren's 6th weapon sound
familiar,
it's because they're the same requirements needed to obtain Yu Jin's 5th
weapon.
The only difference is that you are given more time to finish the strategy (11
minutes vs. 9).

For the uninformed, go outside to the front of Fan Castle. Wu will send out
several officers to attack. Yu Jin's instructions are to lure the Wu forces
inside the castle. The targeted officers will be flashing in green and by
approaching them, they will pursue you. After you attract about two or three
officers, Guan Yu will announce that he will send messengers to halt the flood
attack. The next step is to put the luring mission on hold and defeat the
messengers.

The three messengers will head to the Wu camp to the southeast. Head down to
the south of the castle and head to the area where the two lower paths meet up
to the west of the Wu camp. The two messengers will run towards that spot
nearly at the same time and you can take care of them. The third messenger
will
come from the northwest and will take a longer time to reach the Wu camp, so
you
can head to where he is at (refer to the in-game map if necessary). Once the
messengers are taken care of, resume luring the Wu officers inside Fan Castle.
Funnel them along to the eastern gate. Once you get the Wu officers inside,
they will halt their pursuit of you and you can exit the castle to the north,
then west.

Next up, Guan Yu will dismiss Guan Ping from the floodgates leaving Guan Suo
behind. Head over to Guan Suo's position and defeat him to open the
floodgates.
Once the floodgates are open, Wu will think that Shu was responsible for the
flood attack and will withdrawal from the battle. If this is done within 11
minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Cao Pi
Stage: Final Conflict at Guandu [Wei Xtreme Stage 1]
Condition: Defeat Zhenji within 10 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: At the northeast corner of the center castle south of the river.
Weapon: Swallow Blades
Base Attack: 53
Cyclone 10, Frenzy 9, Flurry 8, Jolt 8, Swiftness
Details: Zhenji is holed up at Yanjin-North Base and it will take some
completed tasks in order for you to get to her.

First off, eliminate the peons that are around the base to the south. Once
that's done, Yuan Shao will send some Unit Commanders to attack the base.
Next
up is that you're asked to take care of the officers that are responsible for
three forts. I would suggest going to the center first, then the southwest
and
the west last. Cross the river to the north and Zhang He will come after you.
Defeat him in order to get the location of the supply depot (The supply depot
is
located to the northwest). Defeat Wen Chou to set fire to the supply depot.

Now is the time to defeat Zhenji. Approach the northern door of the base and
she will pursue you. Defeat her within the 10 minute time limit and you'll
get
a treasure message.

*If you're moving along at a good pace defeating enemies, Lu Bu will remain on
your side. When I got the weapon, I let the messengers get to Lu Bu and got
the
weapon message before Lu Bu defected. So it may or may not matter if Lu Bu is
on your side in order to get the weapon.

Character: Zhenji
Stage: Melee at Chibi [Others Xtreme Stage 4, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Prevent the enemy's fire attack and defeat Han Dang within 9
minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: At the dead end north of Han Dang's initial location.
Weapon: Spring Thunder
Base Attack: 44
Thunder 10, Jolt 9, Uplift 9, Vigor 8, Agility
Details: From the starting position to the south, head to the west and
defeat
the group of officers in that direction. At this point, Wu will send its fire
attack units from three ships. Defeat them by moving south to north, making
sure that your allied officers don't lose to the fire attack units. When all
three areas are secure, head down to the ship to the south and ride it down to
the Wu shore. Once the ship comes to a stop, climb the ladder and you will
find
Han Dang at the top. Defeat him to open up the garrison. If all of this is
accomplished in the first 9 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

You may have to destroy the ballista in the room adjacent to where the weapon
box is in order to open the door.

Character: Cai Wenji

Stage: Find the Beauties [Wei Xtreme Stage 8, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Find all the beauties [10 not including Lu Lingqi].
Weapon Box: At the garrison where Xiaoqiao and Zhou Yu first appear.
Weapon: Heaven's Banquet
Base Attack: 40
Flash 10, Spurt 9, Barricade 9, Velocity 8, Thorns 8
Details: This is arguably one of the toughest 6th weapons to obtain in the
game. The name of the game is speed here, so having Red Hare is a must. If
you
want to try to Zhou Tai katana jump-cancel movement trick for a challenge,
feel
free. In any case, you'll have to chase down numerous targets in this stage.
The first set of bandits that you have to track down will try to escape the
stage. The first one will appear to just to the west of your starting
location
heading west; the second will be to the north of your starting location,
heading
north then west; the third will be to the far northeast and will head to the
northwest. It's suggested to take out the bandit leaders in the order that
I've
mentioned. Don't worry about going into the garrisons until after the bandits
are defeated. The garrisons that are highlighted are to the northwest,
northeast and southwest. The northwest and northeast can be visited in either
order, but be sure to go the southwest garrison last. The couples that are
inside are Sun Ce and Daqiao to the northwest, Guan Suo and Bao Sanniang to
the
northeast and Sima Zhao and Wang Yuanji to the southwest. Defeat each couple
and the next sequence will begin.

The second set of bandits feature them attacking handmaidens. One to the
north,
the second in the central area and the third is below the platform that you
should be at in the southwest area. Defeating the bandits will free the
handmaidens and will go to nearby garrisons and wait. Start by going down
from
the platform and defeating the bandit in the southwest area. Again, you can
take your time following the handmaidens to the garrison, it's more important
to
rescue the other handmaidens. The next stop is the northern garrison and the
third is the central area. This is the suggested order to go visit the
handmaidens in the garrisons. To the west features Liu Bei and Sun
Shangxiang;
to the north, Sima Shi and Zhang Chunhua and to the north-central garrison,
Zhang Fei and Xingcai. It's also suggested that you place some bodyguards in
the Secure Position Battle Skill at the Eastern Midslope Garrison Southwest
(i.e., the lower-level path where you found the handmaiden that's responsible
for Xingcai). Once you've finished off Zhang Fei and Xingcai last, rush over
to
the southeast and drop down to the area where you placed your bodyguards.

The third sequence will begin and can the most frustrating part of this quest.
You'll have to chase down more bandits, and they will spread out from the
initial spot where you placed your bodyguards. Hopefully, they will provide
enough interference, so that they won't go into their full sprint. Try to
eliminate all 6 in the same spot with a musou attack. If you're not
successful
with the first attack, three bandits will head to the south and will split off
to the east and west from there. The three bandits to the north will split
to
the west and east once they get to the open field. I took the bandits to the
south while they were still going in a straight line, and therefore was a bit
easier to round up and finish off. Make sure to take care of all three bandit
units as the crowd can obfuscate the view a bit. Once the south is taken care
of, rush to the north and take care of the remaining three. They may start to
split off from that point so do your best to take care of the two that head
west
and the one to the east. If you take care of the bandits successfully, take
the
animals to the designated spots. To the southwest, you'll take the tigers
there
and you'll meet Zhuge Liang and Yueying. Defeat them. Take the pandas to the
central garrison and you'll meet Zhou Yu and Xiaoqiao. Defeat them as well.

Once that's done, head over to the eastern area and go to each highlighted
spot.
The two areas have three unit commanders each. Defeat them within the time
limit to reveal the next couples. They are Meng Huo and Zhurong in the west
and
Guan Ping and Guan Yinping to the east. Once the second of the two beauties
are
revealed, you'll get a treasure message.

the
castle and head to the east-central area to defeat Zhang Wei to put an end to
the sorcery. At this point, Pang De will appear to the west. Defeat the
officer guarding the gate and then Pang De inside. After defeating Pang De,
the
reinforcements for Cao Cao's army will arrive. If this is accomplished within
the first 7 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Pang De

Base Attack: 42
Cyclone 10, Barricade 9, Protection 9, Thorns 8, Triumph 8
Details: Proceed through the stage as normal. As soon as you clear the
ambush in the supply depot to the west, Huang Zhong will start his arrow
attack.
Afterwards, Ma Chao and Ma Dai show up to the southwest and south-central
areas,
respectively. Both will make their way to the main camp. Ma Dai maybe a
little
harder to track down due to the terrain. If the Ma clan are defeated in under
4
minutes upon their arrival, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Guo Jia

Stage: Mt. Dingjun Rescue Mission [Wei Xtreme Stage 3]
Condition: Defeat Zhang Bao within 3 minutes after the notification that the

Weapon: Dazzling Lapis
Base Attack: 42
Inferno 10, Enlightenment 9, Jolt 9, Spurt 8, Awareness
Details: Similar to Dian Wei's procedure, eliminate the front line officers
and go down the eastern path to spot the ballistae units led by Zhang Bao.
Defeat him. If Zhang Bao is stopped in the first 3 minutes after he shows up,
you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Yue Jin

Stage: Find the Beauties [Wei Xtreme Stage 8]
Condition: Find at least 9 beauties.
Weapon Box: At the garrison where Yueying and Zhuge Liang first appear.
Weapon: Frosty Wind Hooks
Base Attack: 59
Cyclone 10, Jolt 9, Chain 8, Enlightenment 8, Resolve
Details: Similar to Cai Wenji's procedure, but you only have to find 9
beauties so you'll have a little margin for error. If you execute the same
approach with Cai Wenji as Yue Jin, you'll get a treasure message after the
first of two beauty appearances in the caves to the east.

Character: Li Dian
Stage: Find the Beauties [Wei Xtreme Stage 8]
Condition: Find at least 7 beauties.
Weapon Box: At the southwest junction near the eastern bridge on the
battlefield.
Weapon: Sirius Wind
Base Attack: 61
Cyclone 10, Velocity 9, Barricade 9, Aggression 8, Awareness
Details: Wow, now 7 is the magic number. Again, follow Cai Wenji's
procedure
and if done correctly, you'll get a treasure message after defeating the first
of the two animal herding bandits, then have a beauty appear at that garrison.

Character: Yu Jin
Stage: Pacification of Jing Province [Wei Xtreme Stage 5]
Condition: Successfully place the ladder and defeat Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei
within 8 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: North of Guan Yu's main camp.
Weapon: Heaven Conqueror
Base Attack: 56
Inferno 10, Jolt 9, Velocity 8, Explosive 8, Agility
Details: At the start of the stage, head over to the foot of the central
hill
and defeat Guan Suo and Ma Liang to get the ladder set up in place. Again, be
sure to defeat the Wu forces to the east to prevent your main camp being
overrun. A rage attack is useful to eliminate everyone quickly.

When you get close to Guan Yu, Shu reinforcements will arrive. Specifically,
Zhao Yun will appear in the northwest garrison and head towards Cao Cao while
Zhang Fei will arrive to the southwest, go the southeast corner of the map,
then
will head north. It may take some riding around to track them down, but if
the
two of them are defeated in the first 8 minutes (as well as the ladder being
set
up), you'll get a treasure message.

WU [WU6TH]

Character: Zhou Yu
Stage: Invasion of Runan [Wu Xtreme Stage 2]
Condition: Find the assault unit after defeating Li Dian and Yue Jin.
Weapon Box: The north end of the east pathway the assault unit is traveling.
Weapon: Light-Breaking Staff
Base Attack: 46
Flash 10, Whirlwind 9, Frenzy 9, Aggression 8, Thorns 8
Details: This battle is another test on how quickly you can defeat officers
in a short amount of time. Having Red Hare will help immensely in this fight
as
well.

From the starting position in the south, head over to center of the bridge
area
to the northwest. Guo Jia will raise the drawbridge and will send Li Dian,
Yue
Jin, Cheng Yu and Cao Anmin as ambush units. Fortunately, you'll only need to
defeat the first two on the list. This is a lucky break since while you're in
the midst of fighting off the ambush, Guo Jia will send troops from the east
to
attack. You will have 1 minute from when Guo Jia issues the order until the
assault unit arrives outside your main camp. If the assault unit arrives at
its
destination, Yuan Shu will freak out and you will fail.

This is where having a fast horse helps. Once you defeat Li Dian and Yue Jin,
rush over to where the byroad area is to the southeast of the map. The
assault
unit is not shown on the map, but they are visible when you approach them
along
the byroad. If you catch them before they reach the main camp, the assault
unit
will mention that they have been spotted and you'll get a treasure message.
At
this point, you might as well wipe out the assault unit and finish the stage
as
normal.

Base Attack: 44
Flash 10, Vigor 9, Frenzy 9, Morass 8, Greed
Details: Another fairly straightforward procedure for this 6th weapon.
Make
sure that you leave your bodyguards out of this fight since they can steal
your
kills and lower your kill count.

To begin the stage, go south as the map suggests and eliminate as many peons
as
possible to get to 100. A third of the way through, Cheng Yu enters the fray.
At the two-thirds mark, Jiang Gan makes an appearance. At 100 kills, Guo Jia
shows up. Once you defeat all three officers, the next corridor will open up.
Eliminate Zhuangzi inside the room within the 6 minute time limit and you'll
get
a treasure message. Be sure to defeat Zhaungzi before taking out the altars,
otherwise he'll retreat once they're destroyed and you won't get the weapon.

which is made up of Wang Yi, Man Chong and Han Hao. After this is done, Sun
Sheng will head over to the main camp. Also, be sure to fend off the fire
attack units to assure the safety of the main camp. After Ding Feng and
Lianshi
arrive and eliminating Zhang He and Cao Ren, go after Zhang Liao who is
stationed towards the western area of the map. Defeat him and you'll get a
treasure message.

you get your allies settled down, the Wu plot will begin.

Head over to the center of the northeast fort. Defeat the gatekeeper who will
lead to the first target for the weapon, Zhang Liao. Once you defeat him, you
can drop down from the platform and take care of Jia Xu to the east and Yu Jin
to the south. If you accomplish defeating these three officers within 10
minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Base Attack: 56
Slash 10, Awe 9, Roar 9, Harmony 8, Protection 8
Details: Lu Meng's task in this stage is to play decoy while the little
pyro
Zhu Ran gets to work up north.

Start off by defeating the enemy officers near the main camp. When that's
done,
eliminate the officers that are in the southern garrisons. Intermittently,
Shu
will send officers to your location, so stay alert. If you keep repelling the
Shu forces, eventually they will send a pincer attack unit. To the northwest
of
that pincer, you'll find Feng Xi. He will be accompanied by juggernauts, so
take care when facing him. If you are able to defeat Feng Xi within the first
10 minutes of battle, you'll get a treasure message.

will
activate the ballistae, so be sure to have Secret Arts set up or an animal
with
the Shadow ability. Defeat both Jia Xu and Li Dian within the 3 minute time
frame and you'll get a treasure message.

battle.
Weapon Box: At the garrison southeast of Xiahou Dun's initial location.
Weapon: Dazzler
Base Attack: 48
Cyclone 10, Chain 9, Barricade 9, Spurt 8, Agility
Details: This is a stage where life would be easier to take out groups of
extraneous officers instead of charging in and dispatching the required
officers.

First, take care of the ambush unit to the northwest of your starting
location.
Afterwards, head over to the east of the main camp and defeat the assault
unit.
This may take valuable time, but it will help keep Yuan Shu alive.

After beating the assault unit, cross the river north along the eastern road.
Defeat Xiahou Yuan to open up the garrison and maneuver past the arbalests to
find Guo Jia in the western fort. Defeat him and head over to the castle to
the
northwest. Defeat Xiahou Dun inside. If this is accomplished within 7
minutes
(i.e., before Cao Cao shows up), you'll get a treasure message.

to
the front of the castle gate and defeat the two officers stationed there.

Now Cao Ren will bring reinforcements over to the east. At this point, the
byroad to the eastern entrance to the castle will be open, so go ahead and
rush
over to the eastern byroad while ignoring Cao Ren, Xu Huang et. al. Head over
to the front gate and defeat Cai Mao to open it. If the gate is open within
the
first 6 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Chen Deng.
Weapon: Icicle Tonfa
Base Attack: 44
Frost 10, Spurt 9, Triumph 9, Fear 8, Velocity 8

and
defeat Zhang Fei in the southern garrison to clear it. It won't take long for
Zhou Yu's unit to get the east gate broken after the catapult gets set up, so
charge to the garrison in the northeastern area where you'll find Chen Deng.
Defeat him before the gate is destroyed and you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Sun Quan

east corner of the open area.
Weapon: Blazing Wolf
Base Attack: 62
Inferno 10, Jubilation 9, Flurry 9, Awe 8, Rigidity
Details: The steps here are similar to obtaining Taishi Ci's 6th weapon.
The
only difference here is that you can indiscriminately defeat officers to the
northeast in order to get Cao Cao's secondary unit to your position. Once the
officers move to the northeast, Zhou Yu will attack Cao Cao's main camp. If
the
raid is completed within the first 9 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Details: Follow the procedure of luring troops to the northeast maze. Keep
in mind that the officers that are sent to the northeast are Xiahou Dun, Hua
Xin
and Xu Xuan. Xiahou Dun and Hua Xin will circle around counter-clockwise and
will appear to the north of Zhang Liao's initial spot. Xu Xuan will stick
around to the south of Zhang Liao's initial spot on the lower platforms.
Defeat
the two officers to the north first and then navigate your way to the south
and
beat Xu Xuan. If the three officers are defeated within the first 8 minutes,
you'll get a treasure message.
*First time I did this, I actually
requirements just fine. It's just
disadvantage moralewise and you'll

Base Attack: 38
Venom 10, Frenzy 9, Fear 8, Velocity 8, Fury
Details: Head over to the west and defeat Zhang Fei in the garrison. Next,
backtrack and head over to the eastern garrison. You may have to help out
Zhou
Yu's squad by defeating the officer guarding the gate and get the catapult set
up. Once the gate is destroyed, move in and defeat Guan Yu. If this is done
within the first 5 minutes of the stage, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Ding Feng

Stage: Defense of Jiangling [Wu Xtreme Stage 7, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Defeat Zhang He after the supplies has reached the main camp.
Weapon Box: At the upper area west of the northeast garrison on the
battlefield.
Weapon: Flashing Wind God
Base Attack: 61
Cyclone 10, Enlightenment 9, Explosive 9, Survival 8, Awareness
Details: This requirements are similar to Gan Ning's 6th weapon, except the
target here is Zhang He. Once the supplies have been delivered and the fire
attack has been stopped, you can charge over to Zhang He to the northwest, or
you can wait for him to come to you. Once Zhang He is defeated, you'll get a
treasure message.

Character: Lianshi

Weapon Box: South of the northern catapults' setup location, near the stairs.
Weapon: Peng Crossbow
Base Attack: 52
Frost 10, Aggression 9, Awe 9, Triumph 8, Jubilation 8
Details: Proceed through the stage as normal. When the two-pronged attack
is
a success, Liu Bei will open the gates to the castle. This is your cue to
head
over to the southwest garrison since that is where Lu Bu's army will show up.
Chen Gong is among the litany of officers, go ahead and defeat him as well as
the rest of Lu Bu's squad. If Chen Gong is defeated and doesn't reach the
main
camp, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Lu Su
Stage: Chief Commander Face-off [Wu Xtreme Stage 8]
Condition: Defeat Xun You, Xun Yu and Zhang Lu within 6 minutes of starting
the
 battle.
Weapon Box: At the area in the center of the battlefield.
Weapon: Suzaku's Claws
Base Attack: 60
Inferno 10, Velocity 8, Flurry 8, Swiftness, Greed
Details: The procedure is similar of that to Lu Xun's, but the enemy
officers
are different. Xun Yu will appear a third of the way to 100, Xun Yu at two-
thirds, and Jia Xu will appear at 100 kills. Defeat the mystic Zhang Lu
before
disabling the sorcery. If this is completed in the first 6 minutes, you'll
get
a treasure message.

Character: Han Dang

Stage: Assault on Shouchun [Wu Xtreme Stage 1]
Condition: Defeat Yue Jin, Dong Xi and Han Hao within 3 minutes of seeing
through the ambush.
Weapon Box: At the area east of Yue Jin's ambush location.
Weapon: Thunderbolt Pike
Base Attack: 56
Thunder 10, Recovery 9, Fear 9, Frenzy 8, Chain 8
Details: This is one of the easier 6th weapons to obtain. Force Cao Cao's
army to retreat in the beginning of the stage. When you reach the
southeastern
area of the map, the game will ask you to search the garrisons to the north to
look for ambushes. Yue Jin will mention that they have been spotted and the
timer will begin. Defeat Yue Jin, Dong Xi and Han Hao before time expires and
you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Zhu Ran

Stage: Defense of Jiangling [Wu Xtreme Stage 7]
Condition: Prevent the fire attack on the main camp and defeat Zhang Liao.
Weapon Box: In the northwest garrison on the battlefield.
Weapon: Dragon King's Wave
Base Attack: 52
Venom 10, Roar 9, Harmony 9, Uplift 8, Desperation
Details: This stage is similar to Gan Ning's 6th weapon procedure, only
you're concerned about a fire attack. After the main camp supply line has
been
taken care of, Zhang He will send a fire attack captain from the north to set
the main camp ablaze. Eliminate him. Once the first threat is squelched, Jia
Xu will send another captain from the southwest. After the one from the
southwest is defeated, another one will come from the north and another from
the
south. After all four fire attack captains have been eliminated, go after
Zhang
Liao to the west and defeat him once your reinforcements arrive. If the
aforementioned is achieved, you'll get a treasure message.

SHU [SHU6TH]

Character: Zhao Yun

Stage: Escape from Jiangdong [Shu Xtreme Stage 3]
Condition: Defeat Pan Zhang, Jiang Qin and Quan Zong within 14 minutes of
starting the battle.
Weapon Box: In the southwest corner of the castle where the 3 enemy
 reinforcements first appear.
Weapon: Dark Dragon Spear
Base Attack: 62
Venom 10, Chain 9, Awe 8, Protection 8, Swiftness
Details: Proceed through the stage as normal by clearing as many troops as
possible for Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang to escape. The door to the north that
leads westward will open once you defeat 200 enemies, so reach that quota as
quickly as possible.

Once you leave the castle, the retaliatory forces will appear in the southern
part of the castle. They also happen to be the officers that you need to
defeat
in order to get Zhao Yun's 6th weapon. Defeat them within the 14 minute time
limit and you'll get a treasure message.

Keep in mind that Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang will advance to the southwest and
will run into some ballistae. That and fighting Zhou Yu, Lu Meng and company
will eat at their life, so defeating the retaliatory forces quickly and riding
a
fast horse over to the southwest will help the happy couple survive.

Character: Guan Yu
Stage: Defeat Lu Bu [Shu Xtreme Stage 1]
Condition: Defeat Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi within 9 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: In the square area west of Chen Gong's initial position.
Weapon: Heavenly Dragon
Base Attack: 61
Flash 10, Flurry 9, Awe 8, Fear 8, Resolve
Details: Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi are inside the castle to start the stage
with the gates tightly shut, so the goal here is to force Lu Bu's forces to
open
the gates.

Start by taking the garrisons that surround the castle by defeating the
officers
inside them. Once the garrisons are taken over, catapults will be built and
will begin to fire onto the castle. Some enemy officers will leap from the
castle walls and try to destroy the catapults. Defeat that vanguard unit and
Lu
Bu will open the gates to the castle. You can defeat Lu Bu if you like (he
reappears in the throne room in the north-central area if you beat him) and go
after Zhang Liao and Lu Lingqi from there. If you defeat the two of them
within
9 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Zhang Fei

Stage: Clash at Changban [Shu Xtreme Stage 2]
Condition: Personally defeat Zhang Liao after carrying out Xu Shu's plot
successfully.
Weapon Box: At the garrison west of Zhang Liao's initial position.
Weapon: Miraculous Serpent Blade
Base Attack: 67
Inferno 10, Thorns 9, Whirlwind 9, Protection 8, Aggression 8
Details: Another straightforward fight as it relies heavily on Xu Shu's
strategy.
First, clear the garrisons highlighted of enemy officers. The ally officers
who
are responsible for each garrison will run straight toward their respective
spots, so there isn't much worry for keeping them alive. You have 5 minutes
to
take the garrisons, so time is a bit of an issue. Once all four garrisons are
clear, Cao Cao's main forces will show up.

Next, Xu Shu will ask you to lure the enemy to the central area. Just
approach
Xu Zhu, Zhang He and Xiahou Yuan and they will charge to the center from
there.
Once everyone is at the center, Xu Shu will give the signal and the ambush
units
will come out of their hiding spots. From there defeat the foes in the center
and more importantly, go to Zhang Liao to the northwest. Defeat him and
you'll
get a treasure message.

Character: Zhuge Liang

Stage: Final Conflict at Wuzhang Plains [Shu Xtreme Stage 7, Free Mode
Only]
Condition: Defeat Yu Jin within 6 minutes of starting the battle without a
single allied officer being forced to escape.
Weapon Box: At the area south of Li Dian's and Yue Jin's initial position.
Weapon: Black Faerie Fan
Base Attack: 44
Slash 10, Survival 9, Frenzy 9, Roar 8, Uplift 8
Details: It will be beneficial to have a multiple quick officer kill setup
for Zhuge Liang.

Approach the center of the map when the stage starts. As soon as you arrive,
Yu
Jin will be set up on the eastern platform firing catapults at your forces.
You
may want to spend 1 minute to 90 seconds clearing out the officers in the
center, so that they will have a higher chance of survival since periodically
the morale of your forces as well as the life bars of your officers will
decrease as long as the catapults remain active.

Head over to the east and defeat Cao Ren to open the gate. You can ignore
Dian
Man and head over to Yu Jin and defeat him. If you defeat Yu Jin without any
ally officers fleeing within 6 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Liu Bei

Stage: Defeat Lu Bu [Shu Xtreme Stage 1]
Condition: Defeat all of Yuan Shu's officers within 10 minutes of starting
the battle.
Weapon Box: In the square area east of Lu Bu's initial position.
Weapon: Frozen Blossoms
Base Attack: 41
Frost 10, Harmony 9, Survival 9, Barricade 8, Spurt 8
Details: The approach to this is going to be the same as getting Guan Yu's
6th weapon.
A few moments after you enter the castle, Yuan Shu's reinforcements will
appear
to the south, southeast and east. Defeat Yuan Shu, Ji Ling, Lei Bo and Zhang
Xun within the 10 minute time limit and you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Ma Chao
Stage: Final Conflict at Wuzhang Plains [Shu Xtreme Stage 7]
Condition: Defeat Zhang Liao, Yue Jin and Li Dian before the Wei Forces can
reach the main camp.
Weapon Box: At the top of the pathway east of Ma Chao's initial location.
Weapon: Radiant Flash Spear
Base Attack: 49
Flash 10, Explosive 9, Whirlwind 9, Thorns 8, Resolve
Details: Proceed through the stage as normal by defeating Yu Jin on the
eastern platform to stop the catapults. Just hang out on the platform for the
time being. Shortly thereafter, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan will appear as
reinforcements to the north, while the Hefei trio will charge out from the
center gates (Nice Power Ranger-like quote Li Dian). Zhang Liao will go down
the west-central path while Yue Jin and Li Dian will go down the east-central
path. Drop down from the platform and you can intercept the three officers
before they can leave the central area. If you defeat all three officers,
you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Huang Zhong

Stage: Final Conflict at Wuzhang Plains [Shu Xtreme Stage 7]
Condition: Defeat Xiahou Yuan within 3 minutes after the Wei Forces'
reinforcements have arrived.
Weapon Box: At the small area southwest of Guo Jia's initial location.
Weapon: Violet Dragon Bow
Base Attack: 62
Slash 10, Vigor 9, Whirlwind 9, Induction 8, Rigidity
Details: Similar to Ma Chao's strategy, defeat Yu Jin to stop the
catapults.
This time, however you will have to go the northwest corner to meet Xiahou
Yuan.
Defeat Xu Huang to open the gate and seek and eliminate Xiahou Yuan. If this
is
done less than 3 minutes after he makes his appearance, you'll get a treasure
message.

Character: Wei Yan

Stage: Escape from Jiangdong [Shu Xtreme Stage 3, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Defeat Ding Feng within 8 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: At the corner west of Ding Feng's initial location.
Weapon: Double Demon Flash
Flash 10, Fear 9, Swiftness, Agility, Rigidity
Details: Similar to Zhao Yun's approach, your goal is to break through the
castle gate that is being guarded by Ding Feng. Be sure to get to 200 kills
before moving to the northwest portion of the castle. If you defeat Ding Feng
before the 8 minute time limit, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Guan Ping

Stage: Clash at Changban [Shu Xtreme Stage 2]
Condition: Personally defeat Cao Ren after carrying out Xu Shu's plot
successfully.
Weapon Box: Near Xiahou Dun's initial location.
Weapon: Wing of Mortality
 Base Attack: 67
Slash 10, Aggression 9, Vigor 9, Flurry 8, Fear 8
Details: Refer to Zhang Fei's 6th weapon procedure on how to execute Xu
Shu's
strategy. When the strategy is a success, head over to the north to find Cao
Ren in front of Cao Cao's main camp and defeat him. Once you beat Cao Ren,
you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Pang Tong

Stage: Escape from Jiangdong [Shu Xtreme Stage 3, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Defeat Han Dang within 10 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: At the outer area of the northwest garrison on the battlefield.
Weapon: Phoenix Fan
Base Attack: 44
Inferno 10, Aggression 9, Explosive 8, Roar 8, Agility
Details: Similar to Wei Yan's approach, but your goal is to defeat Han Dang
and you're given two extra minutes. Be sure to get to 200 kills before moving
to the northwest portion of the castle. Break through the gate by defeating
Ding Feng and meet Han Dang over to the bridge just to the south, then west.
If
you defeat Han Dang before the 10 minute time limit, you'll get a treasure
message.

Character: Yueying
Stage: Defense of Yong'an [Shu Xtreme Stage 6]
Condition: Prevent the Wu Forces' generals from entering the Shu Forces'
main camp and defeat Ding Feng and Zhu Huan within 9 minutes of
starting the battle.
Weapon Box: North of Ding Feng's starting location.
Weapon: Holy Light Striker
Base Attack: 43
Flash 10, Thorns 9, Barricade 9, Chain 8, Enlightenment 8
Details: The best way to keep the Wu forces from entering the main camp is
to
defeat as many Wu officers as possible in front of the Shu forces. For now,
stop the first wave of engineers that are assigned to set a fire attack in
your
area. Zhu Huan will make his appearance on a platform and will cause an
archery
attack near the main camp. Another wave of engineers will soon follow and
defeat them again. Next, an assault unit will go after the main camp from the
east. Run over to them and defeat the two officers.

By now, a third wave of engineers would have come along and likely would have
set the forest area ablaze by now. At this point, try to defeat all the
officers in the burn zone so that your allied forces don't fall quite as
easily.
When that's done, take the far south path west and rush up to Zhu Huan.
Defeat
him and the arrow attack will stop (as well as the morale drops). Turn around
and head east over to Ding Feng's position. Defeat him. As long as your
officers are still fending off peons in the forest, no one should be able to
make it to your main camp. If the following is completed in the first 9
minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Jiang Wei

Stage: Defense of Yong'an [Shu Xtreme Stage 6, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Prevent the fire attack within 6 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: Right outside Liu Shan's main camp.
Weapon: Rising Flash
Base Attack: 61
Inferno 10, Awe 9, Explosive 9, Morass 8, Fury
Details: The strategy here is similar to Yueying's 6th weapon, only here
you're worried about the engineers succeeding in the fire attack. They will
drop down from platforms to the east and west to the center area. Make sure
that you eliminate them ASAP, since there is a timer on how long that they can
stick around before the area gets burned down.

There will be four waves of engineers, so you have to move back and forth
quite
a bit to get to them. Morale maybe an issue for Liu Shan since the assault
unit
will likely reach the main camp while you're chasing down engineers as well as
the constant barrage of arrows from the southwest. If you defeat the four
waves
of engineers without the area being caught on fire in under 6 minutes, you'll
get a treasure message.

Character: Liu Shan

Stage: Defense of Yong'an [Shu Xtreme Stage 6]
Condition: Defeat Ding Feng and Lianshi within 5 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: In the southeast corner of the battlefield.
Weapon: Destiny Ender
Base Attack: 44
Venom 10, Explosive 9, Morass 8, Awareness, Greed
Details: For this version of this stage, it's best to ignore the engineers
and head straight to Ding Feng and Lianshi. If you're confident on how
quickly
you can eliminate officers, go stop Zhu Huan to the southwest to save what
little morale you have left. Ding Feng and Lianshi lie to the southeast a
short
distance apart. If you defeat these two officers within 5 minutes, you'll get
a
treasure message.

When that is done, head back to your main camp, since the assault unit is
likely
putting a hurt on the officer defending the camp.

Character: Xingcai
Stage: Defense of Mt. Dingjun [Shu Xtreme Stage 4]
Condition: Defeat Wang Yi, Zhang He and Guo Huai within 7 minutes of
starting the battle.
Weapon Box: North of Xu Huang's garrison.
Weapon: Thunderclap
Base Attack: 56
Thunder 10, Flurry 9, Spurt 9, Velocity 8, Rigidity
Details: Defeat the officers near the main camp, then head up the mountain
trail to the western side of the map northward. Defeat Wang Yi along the way
and put a stop Zhang He attacking Liu Bei to the northwest. Guo Huai is
located
to the southeast of where you'll find Liu Bei. If all three officers are
defeated in the first 7 minutes of the stage, you'll get a treasure message.
Character: Ma Dai
Stage: Revenge at Yiling [Shu Xtreme Stage 5, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Carry out Fa Zheng's plot within 14 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: At the garrison southwest of Zhu Ran's initial location.
Weapon: Precious Frost Brush
Base Attack: 43
Frost 10, Induction 9, Spurt 8, Rigidity, Desperation
Details: With 14 minutes as the time restriction, there's plenty to do to
make sure that Fa Zheng's strategy is a success.

Make your way through the stone sentinel maze and be sure to eliminate any
officers and torch troops, since they will slow Liu Bei's progress if he's
left
alone. By the time you approach the exit to the east, Lu Xun will start
sending
the fire attack unit to the forest. Try to take no more than 4 minutes to get
to this point.

The officers that head up the fire attack units will attack at opposite ends,
so
it's suggested that you have some bodyguards equipped ahead of time and have
them secure the location at one of the ends of the attack zone (Northeastern
Garrison First Garrison or Northeastern Garrison Fourth Garrison; I placed
mine
at the First garrison before the turn westward) so that they can slow the
progress of the fire attack units. While the bodyguards and hopefully some of
the Shu officers are taking care of the fire attack units to the northeast,
head
over to the central area and take care of the attack from the south side. Zhu
Ran will also send another set of fire attack units, so you'll have two
officers
attacking from south and two from the east for a combined total of four
officers. Once the two officers on one side are eliminated, head over to the
other side and take care of the other two. If at any point the officers sneak
into the fire attack zone, the fire attack will occur and you will fail.

Once the fire attack has been squelched, the next step is to get the ambush
units set up in place. In order to do that, you'll have to clear the area of
enemy officers. The northeast may have one or two remaining, but your allies
can clear that area without too much babysitting. The bigger concern needs to
be focused on the southwest side anyway. You'll have Zhuge Jin and Ding Feng
(NPC) among others to defeat, plus Zhu Zhi in the garrison just before the
ambush point. Use musou or rage attacks if needed. If all goes well, Guan
Suo
and Zhang Bao will withdraw to the northeast and Zhao Yun and Guan Xing will
hide to the southwest.

Next, lure either Zhu Ran or Lu Xun to the fire attack zone (Zhu Ran-central
area, Lu Xun-northeast). They will set the forest ablaze. Now retreat to the
northeast corner of the map. If this is accomplished in the first 14 minutes,
you'll get a treasure message. You'll get the message before Liu Bei gives
the
order to attack.

Frost 10, Triumph 9, Protection 9, Explosive 8, Fury
Details: Proceed through the stage as normal for the first two animal
encounters. The elephant encounter will have the Nanman appear in the eastern
area. Zhurong will appear in the southern fort of the ambush unit. Defeat
her
and Meng Huo to advance through the stage. If Zhurong is defeated in the
first
8 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Bao Sanniang

Stage: Find Red Hare [Shu Xtreme Stage 8]
Condition: Defeat Meng Huo within 8 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: Along the west pathway from Zhurong's garrison.
Weapon: Sky Cutter
Base Attack: 50
Slash 10, Jubilation 9, Protection 8, Velocity 8, Fury
Details: Same procedure for Guan Suo's 6th weapon, only the target is Meng
Huo. Meng Huo will appear in the northern fort of the ambush unit. Defeat
him
and Zhurong to advance through the stage. If Meng Huo is defeated in the
first
8 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Xu Shu
Stage: Clash at Changban [Shu Xtreme Stage 2, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Personally defeat Jia Xu after carrying out Xu Shu's plot
successfully.
Weapon Box: Outside the east entrance of Cao Cao's main camp.
Weapon: Flashing Arrow Sword
Base Attack: 52
Slash 10, Recovery 9, Protection 9, Enlightenment 8, Explosive 8
Details: Another broken record in terms of directions for this stage. Like
with Zhang Fei and Guan Ping, get the ambush units set up within 5 minutes and
lure Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He and Xu Zhu to the center. When the ambush
succeeds,
head over to Jia Xu's position in the garrison to the south of Cao Cao and
defeat him. If the aforementioned is completed successfully, you'll get a
treasure message.

Character: Guan Xing

Stage: Revenge at Yiling [Shu Xtreme Stage 5, Free Mode Only]

Weapon Box: At the garrison initially defended by Zhu Ran.
Weapon: Imprisoned Dragonwings
Base Attack: 44
Venom 10, Spurt 9, Jubilation 9, Enlightenment 8, Morass 8
Details: For this stage, you just have to defeat the fire attack units
before
they can do harm to your forces. Follow the steps outlined in Ma Dai's 6th
weapon to defeat the fire attack units. If this is accomplished in the first
8
minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Zhang Bao

Stage: Defense of Mt. Dingjun [Shu Xtreme Stage 4, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Defeat Xiahou Ba and Xu Huang within 7 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: At the area west of Xiahou Ba's initial location.
Weapon: Demon Flailblade
Base Attack: 44
Venom 10, Thorns 9, Jolt 9, Uplift 8, Agility
Details: Depending on how quickly you can reach Liu Bei and achieve Fa
Zheng's strategy, Xiahou Ba and Xu Huang can be tough to beat or be a run-of-
the-mill skirmish. You first run into Xiahou Ba and Xu Huang when Fa Zheng
asks
you to lure the Wei forces in the northeast to the ballistae unit. If you
have
the time, you can lure them to the ambush zone and the two officers will lose
their hyper status; otherwise you may have to beat them in their hyper state
if
you're running short of time.

In any case, if Xiahou Ba and Xu Huang are defeated in the first 7 minutes,
you'll get a treasure message.

Zhu Ran. The arrow attacks can be a problem for this fight. If you defeat
the
pyro brothers in the first 10 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

To get the weapon box, you'll have to backtrack some in order to get it. Just
be sure that you have a fast horse and fast officer killing abilities in order
to catch up to Lu Lingqi before she gets away.

Character: Fa Zheng
Stage: Revenge at Yiling [Shu Xtreme Stage 5]
Condition: Carry out Fa Zheng's plot within 15 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: At the garrison initially defended by Lu Xun.

given an extra minute to complete the strategy. If Fa Zheng's plot is
executed
successfully in the first 15 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

JIN [JIN6TH]
Character: Sima Yi
Stage: Riot at Luoyang [Jin Xtreme Stage 1, Free Mode Only]
Condition: Advance together with Xiahou Ba within 8 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: Along the western pathway outside the throne room.
Weapon: Demon Beard
Base Attack: 46
Slash 10, Survival 9, Spurt 9, Awe 8, Fury
Details: Time is a factor in the early going, but the requirements aren't
too
difficult. First, rescue all of your loving family in the order of Shi, Zhao
and Zhang Chunhua by defeating each of the officers that they're engaged with.
Once they're rescued, go through the western portion of the castle and
eliminate
the officers and commanders along the way to open the gates.

Once you arrive into the castle, you'll get a message that messengers are
trying
to contact Xiahou Ba in order for him to defect. The first messenger will go
from the north to the central room. Eliminate him before he reaches the door.
The next messenger will arrive from the northeast and will go to the eastern
door of the central room. This will require some back-tracking and heading
over
to the eastern gate guarded by a Unit Commander. Eliminate the Unit Commander
and head over to the messenger and eliminate him before he reaches Xiahou Ba.
The last messenger will take the same route as the first, so head back over to
the center of the map and eliminate him.

Once the messengers are taken care of, head to the central room to open up the
doors and Xiahou Ba will join your forces. If this is done within 8 minutes,
you'll get a treasure message.

Each of them will have two officers except the southeast location. Be sure to
defeat Xu Zhi, Zhang Bao, Mai Dai and Ding Feng (NPC) before beating Xu Zhu,
Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and Ding Feng (playable), respectively; if not, the former
set of officers will flee and you won't have a chance to add them to the
collector count. The southeast location will have some bandits in the area,
but
you need to defeat the main one to get the next ingredient.

The last ingredient to the southwest becomes available after you clear the
area
of tigers. The officer duo there are King Mulu and Meng Huo. Again, be sure
to
defeat both of them. If you defeat the 10 named officers before they withdraw
and collect all the ingredients, you'll get a treasure message.

ram
to each side. Go around and smash the siege ramps and rams and defeat the
officers.

Next, Ding Feng will send two officers to each side, Jiang Wei will send three
siege ramps to each side and Zhong Hui will send two rams to each side.
Defeat
all the items listed without having the castle defenses being compromised.
Afterwards, the three officers will stop their siege. If the castle is secure

up and try to stop you from leaving. Defeat them. If you are able to clear
the
ambush in the first 10 minutes of the stage, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Wang Yuanji

Condition: Meet up with Zhuge Dan at the northeast garrison within 3 minutes
after defeating Wen Yang.
Weapon Box: At the field outside the west entrance of the northeast garrison.
Weapon: Mercurial Rain
Base Attack: 42
Thunder 10, Recovery 9, Chain 9, Fear 8, Swiftness
Details: Proceed through the stage as normal. When you get to the
northwest
garrison, Wen Yang will be there preparing the defenses. Be sure to defeat
him
before things get set up. This is where the timer will begin. Along the way,
a
Unit Commander will block the way enabling a messenger to run and report to
the
enemy. Defeat the gatekeeper just like earlier in the stage prior to meeting
Wen Yang and defeat the messenger before he spread the word. Continue the
rest
of the way to the north door of the northeast garrison where Zhuge Dan will
let
you in. If this is accomplished within the time frame, you'll get a treasure
message.

Character: Zhong Hui

Stage: Defense of Shangyong [Jin Xtreme Stage 2]
Condition: Rescue all of the allied generals inside Shangyong Castle within 5
minutes of starting the battle.

Inferno 10, Morass 9, Thorns 9, Uplift 8, Jubilation 8
Details: From your starting position in the northeast, rush over to
Shangyong
Castle rescuing the allied officers by defeating the enemy officers that they
are engaged with. Your allies are Wen Hu to the east, Deng Zhong to the
south,
Wen Yang to the west and Shen Dan in the center. If you rescue them within
the
first 5 minutes of the stage, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Zhuge Dan

Weapon: Piercing Beams
Base Attack: 55
Flash 10, Frenzy 9, Vigor 9, Jolt 8, Spurt 8
Details: Proceed through the stage by entering the castle from the east and
securing the main camp. From there, head over to the west side of the map
where
you'll meet Lu Meng. Defeat him. Defeat Ding Feng to get your reinforcements
to arrive. Head down south near the Wu main camp where you'll find Lu Xun in
the south-central area. Defeat him. If the two Lus are defeated in the first
7
minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

6 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: In the garrison where Wang Ping is located.
Weapon: Frost Breaker
Base Attack: 67
Frost 10, Explosive 9, Chain 9, Thorns 8, Morass 8
Details: A case of lack of originality for this stage, since these are the
same requirements as Zhong Hui's 6th weapon. The only difference is that you
are given one more minute to complete the rescue mission. Rescue the allied
officers in the castle in the first 6 minutes and you'll get a treasure
message.

Character: Guo Huai

Condition: Defeat Ding Feng and Zhu Ran within 7 minutes of starting the
battle.

officers that need to be defeated are different. Head over to the west and
defeat Ding Feng after the main camp is secure. At least Zhu Ran will make an
attempt to go to the castle as he will be near the southern entrance. Defeat
Zhu Ran. If the two officers listed are stopped in the first 7 minutes,
you'll
get a treasure message.

Character: Jia Chong

Stage: Pacification of Bashu [Jin Xtreme Stage 6]
Condition: Successfully make all of Zhong Hui's 3 officers submit within 15
minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: At the octagonal area in the center of the battlefield.
Weapon: Minefield Blades
Base Attack: 42
Thunder 10, Fear 9, Chain 9, Roar 8, Resolve
Details: This is plenty of time to get this 6th weapon. First, go around
the
map rescuing your allies from enemy attack. Be sure to get to the southwest
pairing last.

The next event is that assassins will appear and try to convince the three
wavering officers to fight for Zhong Hui. Defeat the assassins before they
approach the officers. The assassins starting points are the southwest corner
and the north and south ends of the main door of the castle. The assassin to
the southwest should be very close to you. Go ahead and eliminate him. Head
up
to the castle gate and take care of the other two assassins.

Once they're out of the way, go and meet the three officers that you need to
defect. One is located in the corner to the northwest, the second is at the
port in the north-central area and the third in a fort over to the east.
Defeat
them before Zhong Hui's main unit arrives and they will defect. If this is
accomplished in the first 15 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Wen Yang

Stage: Escape from Chengdu [Jin Xtreme Stage 5]
Condition: Escape Chengdu Castle after destroying all of the arbalests.

Weapon: Funeral Bringer
Base Attack: 62
Slash 10, Vigor 9, Triumph 9, Fear 8, Protection 8

northeastern part of the castle, the arbalest attack will begin. Simply smash
all of the arbalests and the officer leading them. Once you break through the
ambush unit to the southeast and exit the castle, Jiang Wei's forces will show
up. After some message spam, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Zhang Chunhua

Stage: Riot at Luoyang [Jin Xtreme Stage 1]
Condition: Enter the throne room within 10 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: Along the western pathway outside the throne room.
Weapon: Death Shroud Claws
Base Attack: 44
Venom 10, Recovery 9, Explosive 9, Whirlwind 8, Fury
Details: Proceed through the stage as normal until you get to the central
room. If you're worried about time, you can let the messengers get to Xiahou
Ba
and make him defect to Cao Shuang's forces, defeat Xiahou Ba and head to the
throne room. Otherwise, you can defeat the messengers described in Sima Yi's
6th weapon.

Once the Xiahou Ba situation is taken care of, charge up to the throne room
and
Cao Shaung will attempt to make his getaway. If you reach the throne room in
the first 10 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

OTHERS [OTHERS6TH]

Character: Diaochan
Stage: Uprising at Chang'an [Lu Bu Historical Stage 3]
Condition: Defeat Zuo Ling, Zhu Jun, Song Guo, Niu Fu and Hu Feng within 4
minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: The northeast room from the first bridge you cross.
Weapon: Graceful Aster
Base Attack: 48
Cyclone 10, Jubilation 9, Vigor 9, Roar 8, Aggression 8
Details: This is another stage where Diaochan has to defeat multiple
officers
in a short amount of time. Using her R1+O musou and/or a Cyclone attributed
weapon will help as an officer killer.

Fortunately, the path here is fairly direct. The only problem that you'll run
into is the last officer (Hu Feng) will be accompanied by tigers. Once you
defeat the laundry list of officers within 4 minutes, you'll get a treasure
message as well as some tigers to play with for the rest of the stage.

Character: Lu Bu
Stage: Recapture of Chang'an [Lu Bu Hypothetical Stage 9]
Condition: Defeat Zhenji, Zhang He and Yuan Shao within 10 minutes of
starting the battle.
Weapon Box: Near Yuan Shao's initial position.
Weapon: Explosive Halberd
Base Attack: 79
Thunder 10, Velocity 8, Harmony 8, Swiftness, Fury
Details: This is a test on a big stage. As usual, killing officers quickly
is essential, for not only the targeted officers but everyone in between.
Fortunately, you get to play as Lu Bu in which you can spam the dual halberd
switch attack (increased attack and attack speed bonus) as often as you like
to
decimate foes quickly.

You'll start over to the south and Chen Gong will get the ram to the first
gate.
Once the ram is on the move, Yan Liang and Wen Chou will intercept it.
Eliminate them to keep the ram on the move. Then, Zhang He will activate the
ballistae causing the ram to stop. The first target is Yuan Shao over to the
southwest. Rush over and dispatch him and try to take 10-15 seconds with each
officer along the way. Use the halberd switch attack if needed. If time is
an
issue defeating officers, pack some bodyguards with you ahead of time and have
them attack the officers near Chen Gong. The bodyguards will also help Chen
Gong survive the battle.

Head over to the east and defeat Zu Mao who heads that ballistae unit. You
can
ignore the officers that Zhenji sends from the castle, since they will follow
you up to the east instead of going after Chen Gong. Next is Cheng Pu, beat
him
to open the waterway entrance. A Wu ambush unit will show up in the waterway
consisting of Sun Shangxiang, Huang Gai and Han Dang. The officers from
Zhenji's unit will follow you into here and you can take everyone out in one
fell swoop. Defeat them to advance to the next area. You can ignore the
officers as you go up the steps. At the top of the stairs is Zhenji, defeat
her. Head west along the walkway until you reach Zhang He and you can take
him
out and (finally) silence the ballistae attack.

I hope that Chen Gong is still holding up fine, since you may get a message or
two indicating that he is struggling. If you take care of the aforementioned
within 10 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Dong Zhuo

Stage: Ultimate Warrior Competition [Others Xtreme Stage 3]
Condition: Defeat Sun Jian and Huang Gai within 7 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: At the area east of the battle arena.
Weapon: Unavoidable Bomb
Base Attack: 61
Inferno 10, Vigor 9, Frenzy 9, Morass 8, Swiftness
Details: To begin the tournament you will face your toughest
opponent...message spam. About 25 seconds of it will take place in the
beginning. If you're worried about time, do an interim save at the beginning,
exit out and reload; if you're adept at killing officers, this stage will be
no
sweat. You will fight four officers one-on-one in a row, Han Dang and Xiahou
Yuan being the final two. When you are finished, Sun Jian, Huang Gai along
with
several Wu officers and troops will attack you in the arena. Defeat Sun Jian
and Huang Gai in under 7 minutes and you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Yuan Shao

Stage: Nobility Face-off [Others Xtreme Stage 5]
Condition: [Wang Yun] To recognize the Yuan family as 1st place within 10
minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: At the center garrison where Wang Yun is stationed.
Weapon: Twisted Crystal Spiker
Base Attack: 43
Frost 10, Jubilation 9, Velocity 9, Survival 8, Protection 8
Details: This competition requires some work to be done in order to prove
the
superiority of the nobility. Personally, I'm not the best with Yuan Shao with
his EX weapon, so I had to use the halberd switch attack as well as Hex Mark
(Shadow ability) to get this weapon.
The first part of the competition, you are asked to defeat the most officers
in
the least amount of time. Sun Jian and Cao Cao are no slouches and you will
see
reports that they have defeated several officers themselves. Go from the
northwest to the northeast eliminating each non-playable officers down the
line.
Diaochan will march her way from the central fort over to your location, but
it
will take some time for her to get to you. From my method, I had to backtrack
to her after defeating the first four officers. You can beat her in between
if
you like, but the bottom line is that you need to defeat all five officers
around 2:30 into the stage, otherwise Cao Cao or Sun Jian will be the victor.
The faster you finish, the more time that you have for the second part of the
competition.

The second part of the competition is to feed the peasants. This one can be
annoying because you have to keep the supply units on the move with their
tortoise-like pace. The best advice I have for winning this part is this as
follows:

-Throughout the transport, take out EVERY PEON. The supply troop will try to
engage them with lackadaisical effort and will eat up lots of time that can be
better used for them to run over to the northeastern garrison.
-Beat Cai Wenji as soon as she shows up outside the central garrison. Even
though she isn't near the supply troop, they won't move until she is gone.
-Next, you'll run into a bandit ambush party to the northwest. The supply
troop
won't move past the garrison until they are gone.
-As soon as it's safe for the supply troop to resume their advance, another
bandit ambush awaits them to the east of the northwest garrison. Once again,
eliminate all the enemies so that the path is clear. There are some clumps of
peons just up ahead. Be sure to slay them too.
-Don't be concerned about Sun Jian and Cao Cao feeding their constituents
first.
The main thing is to make sure all of your supply captains are alive.
-Just as soon as the supply troop is ready to enter the garrison to feed the
peasants, another bandit ambush party will come along and will bring ballistae
with them. I hope you have a Shadow horse as well as a strong horse attack,
because it's best to take out the ballistae on horseback since they are the
biggest threat to the supply troops' health. Take care of the bandit officers
as well. As you are pushing the bandits and ballistae back, the supply troops
will slowly trickle in and feed the peasants. Hopefully, you have all of your
supply captains alive and moving, since when I did this I got all 5 captains
in
the garrison with 15 seconds to spare.

If you win the first part of the competition and get all 5 supply captains in
the garrison before the 10 minutes are up, Wang Yun will announce the Yuans
are
the winner and you'll get a treasure message...after about a minute of message
spam so just be patient.

Character: Zhang Jiao

Stage: Assistance at Runan [Others Xtreme Stage 1]
Condition: Defeat Li Dian within 10 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: In the southwest room from Li Dian's initial position.
Weapon: Possessed Staff
Base Attack: 56
Venom 10, Roar 9, Enlightenment 9, Aggression 8, Awareness
Details: From the starting position, head over to the west and eliminate
all
the officers along the way, including the one on the platform. Once that's
done, Yue Jin will show up. Defeat him and you will be able to summon phantom
soldiers and move to the north. Defeat the next two officers. Rendezvous
with
Liu Bei and eliminate the officers that Liu Bei's forces are engaged with.
Keep
moving along until you run into Zhang He and a set of ballistae. Defeat him
and
move towards the corridor where Li Dian is. Head all the way to the southeast
corner and meet up with Cheng Yuanzhi to start the fire attack. This will
open
up the doors to where Li Dian is located. Go and defeat him. If this is done
in the first 10 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Meng Huo

Stage: Protect the Animals [Others Xtreme Stage 6]
Condition: Defeat Yuan Shao, Xiaoqiao and Yueying within 6 minutes of
starting the battle.
Weapon Box: The east corner near the north reinforcement gate on the
battlefield.
Weapon: Manic Thunder Gloves
Base Attack: 65
Thunder 10, Roar 9, Spurt 8, Harmony 8, Resolve
Details: Back to the self-explanatory stages. You actually can summon a
horse in Nanzhong this go-around, so go ahead and take advantage since you'll
have some running around to do in a short amount of time. The first target is
Yuan Shao to the northeast of your starting location. Defeat him. Next, beat
Xiaoqiao en route to the central garrison from the west and finally Yueying in
the garrison to the northeast. If the three officers listed are defeated
within
the first 6 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Zhurong
Stage: Protect the Animals [Others Xtreme Stage 6]
Condition: Defeat Yuan Shao and Xiaoqiao before they can get close to the
animals.
Weapon Box: Along the pathway south of the west reinforcement gate on the
battlefield.
Weapon: Enchanted Lotus
Base Attack: 44
Venom 10, Thorns 9, Agility, Rigidity, Desperation
Details: You want to make sure that neither Yuan Shao or Xiaoqiao enter the
garrisons where the animals are. If you get the message X is quickly
approaching the animals, you will fail. Yuan Shao will arrive on the eastern
edge of the map (northeast of your initial location) and Xiaoqiao will arrive
from the west. If you stop Yuan Shao and Xiaoqiao before they break through
the
garrisons, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Zuo Ci
Stage: Runan Rescue Mission [Others Xtreme Stage 1]
Condition: Defeat Zhang He within 8 minutes of starting the battle.
Weapon Box: In the small square area northeast of Zhang He's initial
location.
Weapon: Reality Destroyers
Base Attack: 60
Inferno 10, Triumph 9, Aggression 9, Protection 8, Uplift 8
Details: Similar to Zhang Jiao's procedure, but your main objective is to
defeat Zhang He. Be wary of the ballistae that surround the beautiful one.
If
Zhang He is defeated in the first 8 minutes, you'll get a treasure message.

Character: Chen Gong

Stage: Repulsion at Guandu [Lu Bu Hypothetical Stage 8]
Condition: Defeat Zhang He within 5 minutes of starting the battle without
a single allied officer being forced to escape.
Weapon Box: From Zhang He's position, go north across the bridge then head
east towards the area between the garrison and the river.
Weapon: Divine Oracle Scroll
Base Attack: 53
Flash 10, Awe 9, Fear 8, Protection 8, Rigidity
Details: Start by defeating the two officers just to the north of your
starting location. You may get a call for help over at the southern garrison,
so head over there and fend off the enemy.

Once things are under control, head over to Yanjin (south-central garrison)
and
defeat Zhang He. He will spring an ambush, but if you're able to defeat Zhang
He in the first 5 minutes without any of your allies fleeing, you'll get a
treasure message.

Character: Lu Lingqi
Stage: Battle of Xiaopei [Lu Bu Historical Stage 8]
Condition: Defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei within 8 minutes of starting the
battle.
Weapon Box: West of where Guo Jia, Yue Jin and Xiahou Yuan appears as enemy
reinforcements.
Weapon: Soaring Wings
Base Attack: 56
Frost 10, Protection 9, Chain 9, Fury, Greed
Details: From the starting position, head north to the front of the
drawbridge and beat Zhang Fei. From there, you'll have to head to the
southeast. If you have time, lure Cao Cao's forces to the ambush spot,
otherwise press on.

You'll have to eliminate a couple of Unit Commanders to secure the catapult in

front of the gate. From there, defeat Jian Yong to put a stop to the arrow
attack as well as to gain access to Guan Yu. Go ahead and finish the God of
War
off.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are defeated in the first 8 minutes (last time I
promise), you'll get a treasure message.
