torpedo by another person. Note: The entries marked with an asterisk
(*) indicate ones in which the character being saved does not
order the troops behind them to battle. Note: Try this scene with

setting with Cao Cao. First, approach Pang Tong to see through
his trick, then defeat Zhuge Liang to stop the wind prayer. Next,

defeat Huang Gai to stop the fire attack. Finish the level with
your level 9 Sword of Heaven to get Cao Cao's level 10 sword.

Side. Allow Sun Jian's messenger to complete his task. Then, wait
for Sun Jian to defeat Hua Xiong. You must now defeat Sun Jian
and Cao Cao to gain her level 10 weapon, Diva. You must quickly
do this before your forces retreat and you lose the map.
Play The Battle Of Si Shui Gate level. Sun Jian will send a messenger
to Yuan Shao, and you must let the message be received before
you defeat any enemy officers. After this, defeat two officers
out of Sun Jian, Liu Bei, or Cao Cao. You should receive a message
stating "Diao Chan has earned her ultimate weapon, Diva".
Then, complete the level.
Gan Ning: Level 10 weapon
On the Battle of Xia Kou level under the hard difficulty
setting, defeat Su Fei and Chen Shen. Wait for Zhou Yu to tell
you about gun powder on Huang Zu's northern ship. A burning gun
powder pot appears on the ship. Go near the gun powder pot. The
gun powder pot discovery message will appear. Destroy the burning
pot on Huang Zu's northern ship. Then, defeat all enemy generals
on the map (Chen Jiu, Deng Long, Zhang Hu, Cai Mao) before Huang
Zu's northern ship and southern ship connect. Huang Zu's two ships
will connect and Huang Zu's southern ship starts burning (about
three minutes after destroying the gun powder pot), with Ling
Cao and Ling Tong alive. Note: In free mode, Gan Ning will appear
in place of Chen Shen. Defeat him instead of Chen Shen.
Gan Ning: Run faster
To make Gan Ning run faster, use his Musou attack when
you get Liu Chan (the baby on the Battle Of Chang Ban) and uses
Gan Ning's Musou.. None of them will stand in your way for 60
seconds, allowing you to cicle the entire map quickly.
Guan Yu: Level 10 weapon
Kill all the Wu generals at the Fan Castle level under
the hard difficulty setting. Make sure that all your soldiers
switch sides before you kill the Wu generals.
Huang Gai: Easy duel win
When the duel starts, put a bomb on the ground. Run
to the wall and put another bomb down. Make sure your clear of
your own bomb and put another one down. Keep hugging the wall
and setting down bombs. Do not bother looking back; look at his
health bar to see large chunks of health dropping. When about
seven explosions hit Lu Bu or any other opponent, he will have
no health but the bombs cannot actually kill him. Jump in the
air and do your stomp ([Triangle]). If you cannot jump over
Lu Bu's jumping attack, stand on the ground and counter him when
he attacks for his last desperation attempt.
Huang Zhong: Strong character
In order to have an unbeatable Huang Zhong with two
elements (Fire and the element of your choice), max out his stats.
Get his tenth weapon. He should carry four items by then. Set
these items:
Special: Fire arrows (T attack and SST attack will have a fire
element); Tiger Amulet 15+; Tortoise Amulet 15 +; Huang's Bow
15+
Orb: Level 3 Ice Orb recommended.
Harness: Shadow Hare recommended
Jiang Wei: Level 10 weapon
Play the Battle of Tian Shui on Musou mode. To unlock
this area, play the Shu Musou mode and skip to the Battle of Chi
Bi on Act 3; do not play the battle of Bo Wan Po. Allow the enemy
to spoil all of your ploys (Pang Tong's ploy, Zhuge Liang's calling
of the wind and Huang Gai's fire attack). After all of your ploys
fail, finish the battle of Chi Bi and play through the rest of
the Musou mode normally. The Battle of Tian Shui will appear before
the final act. When the Battle of Tian Shui begins, run quickly
to the right side of Ji Castle. Kill the Guard Captain there to
open the gate. Step inside to activate an enemy ambush. Then,
run back around to the southern gate on Ji Castle. Kill the Guard
Captain there. Once again, run inside to activate an enemy ambush.
Run inside and kill Cao Ren and his two Sub-Generals. You have
to do this before Cao Ren decides to charge out and attack Zhuge
Liang. At this point, it would be a good idea to eliminate all
enemy troops that are not inside Tian Shui Castle, including all
Officers and Gate Captains. Zhuge Liang gets in trouble very easily
on this map, and the enemy morale stays high throughout. Once
that is done, kill the Guard Captain on the left side of Tian
Shui Castle to open the gates. Just like in Ji Castle, run in
to activate an enemy ambush. Then, move back out and around to
the southern gate. Kill the Guard Captain there. Run inside to
activate one more ambush. Run in and kill Yin Shang and Liang
Xu. You then recieve Jiang Wei's level 10 weapon, Blink. Note:
This map only gives you thirty minutes to finish; you must act
quickly.
Jiang Wei: Unlimited combo
Use Jiang Wei's jump attack ([Square]x2 to a
double stab in the air). Go to any enemy officer or soldier then
do that attack and keep repeating this process. You will get an
unlimited combo from Jiang Wei. Note you can only hit one person
with this attack. The best way to practice it is to go to challenge
mode (Bridge Battle). Knock out all troops out of the bridge until
one one weak soldier remains, then practice it on him.
Liu Bei: Level 10 weapon
In the Battle of Ru Nan under the hard difficulty setting,
meet with Zhao Yun after he appears on the map (about ten to twenty
seconds into the game at the bottom right horizontal path). After
the Zhao Yun swears allegiance event, defeat Li Dian, and join
with Zhang Fei. At the Xiahou Yuan appearance, defeat Xiahou Yuan
before Guan Yu appears (about 4:30 to 5:30 into the game), defeat
Yu Jin, defeat Xu Chu. At the Xiahou Dun appearance, defeat Xiahou
Dun, defeat Zhang He, and defeat Yue Jin. Note: Other than defeating
Li Dian after meeting with Zhao Yun and defeating Xiahou Yuan
before Guan Yu appears, all other enemy generals can be defeated
in any order.
Lu Bu: Guan Du level appearance
This must be dome in Musou mode. Get to the level at
Xi Pi as Cao Cao forces Destroy the carriage that will make Yaun
Shu appear as a ally for Lu Bu. Do not kill Diao Chan, but make
all Lu Bu's men surrender and kill the general at the top, because
he will not surrender. After all that is done, Lu Bu will retreat
with Diao Chan. Then, go to Guan Du and Lu Bu will appear. He
mostly appears when you destroy the Wen Chou compound. Note: If
you kill Lu Bu, Yuan Shoa's morale will drop massively, allowing
you easy victory.
Lu Bu: Unlimited combo
Equip Lu Bu with the Lightning Orb. Having his level
10 weapon makes this easier. Go to an officer and use Lu Bu's
second charge attack where he swings his halberd around. The lightning
will hit the officer into the air and you can continue hitting
him. Make sure you hit him before he lands on the ground or his
body will disappear. You have to do this on an officer that does
not have a death intermission sequence or a Gate Captain. It is
possible to get a 100+ combo by doing this.
Lu Meng: Level 10 weapon
Play the Battle Of Mai Castle level on the Wu side.
First, allow Liao Hua to escape from the battle. Enter the castle
through the northern gate. Kill Jiang Wei's Sub-General Wan Fu.
Then, kill the Gate Captain at the north wall, then the one at
the south wall. Liao Hua will return with additional troops. Destroy
them, including the Sub-General in the group. Return to the castle
and kill Guan Ping. This causes Guan Yu to attempt an escape.
This is why the two Gate Captains had to be killed; he will try
to escape to one of them if they are not sealed. Kill the northern-most
Gate Captain. Guan Yu will change direction and head for the southern-most
Gate Captain. Once both of those are shut off, go back into the
castle and an ambush troop will appear. Destroy them. Zhang Fei
should appear soon, if not already. Eliminate all Generals and
Sub-Generals (besides Guan Yu). Kill Zhang Fei and you should
then receive the White Tiger. Finish the level.
Ma Chao: Level 10 weapon
In the Chen Du Suppression level go to the left side
of the map to trigger the appearance of enemy back-up troops.
Kill the enemy back-up troop generals Pang De forst, then Ma Dai.
Note: This can only be done in Musou mode, because the generals
will be Ma Chao and Ma Dai in free mode.
Meng Huo: Level 10 weapon
Play the Battle Of Cheng Du level under the hard difficulty
setting as Meng Huo on the Nanman Forces. Kill every character
that is playable. Note: Make sure you personally kill the character
and have his level weapon. You will get his level 10 weapon, King
Of Beast.
