Hints
Level up fighters before Musou mode
Enable the "Free Mode Side Selection option"
code. Go to free mode and select any character. This is useful
for characters you may not be too skilled with. Set the level
to "Yellow Turbans". Fight on the side of the Yellow
Turbans. In the fort, the center walls form a cross. Go to the
top of that cross to find "Life +10". Kill Cao Cao,
Liu Bei, and Sun Jian -- they each give "Life +10".
Killing their officers usually give "Attack +4" with
each. Also try killing by using your special while using the bow.
When killing officers in this manner, you can reach a 28-hit combo;
but instead of receiving "Attack/Defense +1", "+2",
or "+4", you can get "Attack/Defense +8".
This does not work on Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Sun Jian. By using
this tactic, the game and your fight with Lu Bu becomes slightly
easier.
Female character's unlimited combo
Attack (only one hit), move forward, attack (only one
hit), move forward, attack (only one hit), move forward, and repeat.
This must be done quickly in order to continue the combo.
Strong character's unlimited combo
Note: This requires a character strong enough to run
over an Officer with a horse. Wait until an Officer moves into
a corner, then run straight into him/her. Continue to press [Forward]
and the horse will always keep running into him/her till you stop
pressing in that direction. This will continue your combo indefinitely.
You can also attack during your charge to speed up the combo count.
Note: A 32+ hit combo will give you the maximum shield/sword drop
and you can not exceed a 99 hit combo.
Defeating Lu Bu
Hit him once and then jump away. Then hit him again
and repeat. When he blocks the hit, jump away as fast as possible.
Fire an arrow at him from a distance. He will run about, but not
attack you. Keep firing arrows and waiting until he mounts his
horse. Eventually, he will be killed.
Defeating officers
Attack the officer with a combo, using [Square].
When they fall to the ground, wait until you see them begin to
get back up. Quickly start your combo over again, and they should
not have a chance to block it. This is especially useful for defeating
Lu Bu, one of the hardest officers in the game.
Defeat the officer's guards and any other lower rank men around
him. Run away from the officer so that he loses interest in you.
When this happens, they often stand still. Get close enough so
that you can barely make the officer out, but he does not see
you. Start hitting him/her with your arrows. They cannot see who
hits them, and they will not recover their life.
Defeating strong generals on low
health
Go to a stand were archers are killing your men. Defeat
them, then from above you can snipe your enemy's generals.
Easy Boss battles
Officers can regain health when you hit them down and
they get back up. Do not hit them on the ground. This helps when
fighting Lu Bu.
Run to one of your heroes, then hold [Circle] to charge until
it is full. Then, run to the Boss and unleash the power by pressing
[Circle].
Chang Ban level:+10 Sword
Go to the Chang Ban level on Liu Bei's side. When the
level starts. defeat all generals (excluding sub-general and Cao
Cao)/ You should get the weapon from one of the generals randomly.
Save your people
If you see a gate that you can go up to, go up and
kill all the archers. After that, face the other side and use
your arrow at them. Note: Look back because some people will try
to attack when you are not looking.
Get more from your Musou power
Circle usually allows you to do a spectacular move
for about five seconds to kill defenders. However if you hold
the [Circle] as you are doing the special power, about ten
more seconds will be added on to you Musuo.
Large chain attack
Attack someone three times (they must die on one of
these hits for this to work), stop, then as they are falling down,
attack three times again.
More powerful hits
When attacking someone, press [Square], [Triangle];
or [Square]x2, [Triangle]; or [Square]x3, [Triangle].
Attack +10
Defeat Zhang Lian at the He Fei level to get an Attack
+10.
Character recommendation
Dian Wei is the best character when he is maxed out.
