kill the officers and let the weaker player pick up the items.
There is also a Musou +10 in the path in the middle and a Life
+10 at the top left corner of the summit. There are three weapon
crates dropped by officers (Huang Quan, Cao Hong and Sun Li).
You will almost certainly get a third weapon from one of them.
Battle Of Tong Gate: Easy power up
and weapons
Play at the level on Cao Cao's side. Go the Tong Gate
and follow the outside of it north until you see a black box.
Open it and you will get a weapon. Kill all of the Generals and
enemies. Cheng Yin will give you another weapon (HP +10) at the
northwest gate and a Musou +10 at the northeast gate. Kill everybody,
then Kill Ma Chao and you will have some good power ups.
Battle Of Yi Ling: Easy level up
Play the level with the character you want to level
up. Kill the officers Gan Ning and Lu Meng with a 20+ hit combo
or one Musou attack. This should give you Attack+16 and +8 from
each general. Next, kill Sun Shang Xiang, Lu Xun, and Cheng Pu.
Kill all of them with a 20+ hit combo. This should give you a
total of defense+20. Next, kill all Gate Captains with a 20+ hit
combo or one Musou attack. You can now get Defense+2 from each
Gate Captain. You can also get the Life+10 and the Musou+10 inside
of the maze. Repeat this level many times using this strategy.
Play the level on the Shu side under the easy (recommended) or
normal difficulty settings. If you start near Ma Chao and Gan
Ning (Gan Ning being the enemy), kill Gan Ning, then Lu Meng,
Lu Xun, Cheng Pu, and Sun Sianux Su. Travel south into the Stone
Warrior Formation maze. When you enter, take a left, then the
first right. There should be a Musou +10 in the lone pot. Continue
along the bottom of the maze until you reach to a fenced off Stone
Warrior. Take a left. There should be three pots along the right.
One of them has a Life +10. Continue up until you reach the exit.
Defeat Sun Quan, then repeat this as needed. Note: Your character
must have his or her second or third weapon; or have very good
stats.
Battle Of Yi Ling: Easy kills
Use the following trick to get over 4000 kills at the
Battle Of Yi Ling. Using your best character is recommended. Select
the Wu side under any difficulty setting and play through as usual.
When you get to the area where Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are located,
kill Zhuge Liang then go to the area behind Liu Bei. The Gate
Captain will keep sending troops at you. Keep swinging and slashing.
This is also a good way to get a lot of points. If you get there
fast enough, you can probably get over 4000 kills.
Battle At Yi Ling: Easy attack level
up
Play the level under any difficult setting. Acquire
a second weapon for your character. Then, kill Gan Ning, Lu Meng
and Cheng Pu with a 20+ hit combo or kill them with one Musou
attack only. Gan Ning and Lu Meng together provide Attack +16.
Then, kill Cheng Pu the same way to get a total of Attack +18
for the entire level. Repeat this as needed.
Battle At Yi Ling: Easy defense level
up
Play the level with a new character with at least their
second weapon. Kill Sun Shang Xian and Lu Xun with a 20+ hit combo
for a total of Defense +16. Repeat this as needed.
Guan Yu Escape: Hidden items
There is a Life +10 in between the two houses where
you fight Khang He. There is a Musou +10 behind the second gate.
Hu Loa Gate: Hidden items
In Hu Loa Gate, on top of the Han Shui Gate is a Musou
+10. On the Hu Loa Gate is a Life +10.
Nanman Campaign: Easy level up
Kill all the officers including Meng Huo every time
he appears. This should get you not only very high stats (about
Attack+20 and Defense+20 including the Gate Captains), but also
your third weapon. Repeat this level a few times until you get
the third weapon or you are you satisfied.
Pong Tong Gate: Hidden items
You can get an easy Life +10 at the top left by your
gate. To the top right of their gate is a Musou +10. Chose the
allied team (not Cao Cao's) to do it in less than seven minutes.
Surprise Attack On Liu Biao: Saving
Sun Jian
In order to save Sun Jian from being crushed, you must
kill Kuai Liang before Sun Jian arrives at the area that he is
normally killed in. Try going directly to Kwai Liang without fighting
any Gate Guards or Lu Gong. This will stall Sun Jian. Another
way to save him is to play as his character.
Yellow Turban Rebellion: Hidden items
There is a Musuo +10 near the Gate for the Yellow Turban
to the far left. Head down close to the outside land and you will
find it there. The Life +10 is found just outside the river opening
to the castle on the north side. There is also another Musou +10
at the second protrusion from the south on the West Castle Wall.
There is also another Life +10 at the second protrusion from the
north of the East Castle Wall.
Note: This probably can only be done with Zhang He. Play the level
and equip Zhang He's fourth weapon and a good pair of Wing Boots.
Zhang He can jump onto the platforms connected on the castle,
which stick out to get Life +20 and Musou +20. Note: This depends
on your Wing Boots, which may need a +10 or +11 Jump.
You can get the Life +10 and Musou +10 on the protrusion by going
to the inside corners of the castle and going up the stairs. Jump
off the side and land on the platform/protrusion from the wall.
Note: Get a horse and leave it near the protrusion so that you
know where it is; when you go up on top of the castle walls it
is very difficult to see the protrusion.
Yellow Turban Rebellion: Easy level
up
Play the level as the Han forces under free mode and
the hard difficulty setting with a character who you want to make
stronger. From where ever you start, go straight to the allied
Gate in the bottom left corner and defeat the general who is attacking
it. Then, go to the river where there is a scene of the it being
frozen, Immediately run back to the gate earlier, without killing
any more generals. Wait until Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao die,
leaving the castle under siege. Wait until He Jin is under attack
and help him. All that remains is to kill anyone who gets in your
way. The Gate closest to Zhang Jiao is the only one that will
send units your way. Getting a horse to go and close all the Gates
is helpful. In doing this, you should be able to kill over 1000
to 2000 enemies, raising you five or six levels.
Get the Life+10s on the east wall platform, and at the top opening
of the castle inside the jar atop the ridge to your immediate
right. Then, get the Musou+10 on the second platform on the west
wall. Repeat this level many times using this strategy. Remember
to kill every general this level.
Yi Ping: Hidden items
Chose the easy difficulty setting to get +4 Four Attack
from both Gan Ning and Lu Meng and +4 Defense from Sun Shang Xiang
and Lu Xun. Life +10 and Musou +10 are also in the maze. Complete
this in less than 25 minutes with a fourth weapon and good stats.
Item upgrades
To get better upgrades, such as Tortoise Amulet +60,
play the game under the hard difficulty setting in these stages
and kill these characters for only items in that stage. Do not
bother doing this on any level below Attack On Liu Biao.
Nanman campaign (Shu and Wu): Yong Kai, Dong Tu Ne.
You Ting (Wu): Man Chong, Cao Xiu, Hu Zhi, in box directly in
front of Cao Xiu fort, to the side of Sima Yi in box.
Jie Ting (Shu): Du Xi, Deng Ai, Xin Pi.
Yi Ling (Shu): Ling Tong, Zhu Ran (Wu): Shamoke, Lei Tong, Wu
Lan
Chi Bi (Wei): Cao Pi, Cao Hong, (Shu): Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, Taishi
Ci
He Fei (Wei): Zhu Huan, Han Dang, Jiang Qin.
Fan Castle (Wei): Second level of stage in box
Chang Ban (Shu): Li Dian, Xiahou En, Zhang He (Wei): Mi Zhu, Chen
Zhen, Liu Qi
Guan Du (Wei): Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan.
Getting second and third weapons
Go to You Ting and defeat Zhang Pu and Zhen Ji. They
will both give you weapons. Sometimes the weapons are first weapons,
at other times they are the second or third weapons. Note: This
can be done with anybody, but you should build them up first.
Play the Assault On Wu Territory level under the hard difficulty
setting. Have someone help you defeat the stage. While the other
person is defeating the officers, go and take all of the weapon
boxes that appear. Some weapon boxes are in boxes. After completing
the level, you should have the second and third weapons.
Play as Cao Cao and successfully complete the game. His first
and second weapons are the same as Liu Bei's, Sun Quan's, and
Sun Jian's first and second weapons. When you start a new Musou
with these characters, you will automatically get their second
weapon.
Play under the normal or hard difficulty setting. Go to the Assault
On the Wu Territories level and play as Sun Ce's forces. There
are four weapons in this stage; three of them are held by officers,
Zhang Ying, Chen Heng, and Yan Yu. The fourth one is in a box
that will be diagonally left of your position as soon as you enter
the fort on the bottom right of the map, where Liu Yong is located.
Play the Nanman Campaign under any difficulty setting. Meng Huo,
Meng You, and Dailali Dongzou will all give you weapon boxes.
They usually are a mix of second and third weapons.
Start a two player free mode game under the hard difficulty setting
at the Battle Of You Ting level. Play as Sun Jian's forces. This
stage is the perfect place to find second or third weapons. Player
one should be a fresh character you want the weapon for, while
player two should be a maxed out character with the fourth weapon.
When you start the level, let player two take care of the Gate
Captains, archers, and soldiers. Then, walk player one to the
crates at the start of the beach and smash them all. One of them
contains a weapon and another has an item. Move player two up
the path to Liu Biao's castle. On the way, look for a crate. Kill
the soldiers there with player two, then move player one to the
crate and smash it. Pick up the contents, which almost always
is a second or third weapon. Finish the stage with player two.
Play the Guan Yu's Escape level as any character under the medium
difficulty setting. Play the level two times and make sure that
your character has moderate stats. Play through the level as normal
and make sure to get all the weapons available from officers.
On the second time through the level, you will get that character's
second or third weapon.
There are four weapons that can be found in the Assault On Wu
Territory level. Play on Sun Ce's force on any difficulty setting.
Note: The harder the setting, the better the weapons. Both of
the generals at the start of the level, Zhang Ying and Chen Heng,
drop weapons. As you progress through the level, defeat Tashi
Ci and go to fight Yan Bai Yu. His sub-general Yan Yu will drop
the third weapon. The fourth weapon is in a crate in the middle-left
part of section where you fight Liu Yong.
Easy second weapons
Play a two player game with one character who has very
good stats and another character who you want the weapon for.
Play at the Yellow Turban Rebellion under the hard difficulty
setting and have each character equipped with a Red Hare Saddle.
At the very beginning, put the character you want the weapon for
near Sun Jian but not in a place where he could get hurt. Next,
have your strong character fight Sun Jian. When he dies, he will
drop a weapon. Let your strong character just stand there. He
should have good enough defense that barely any health is taken
away. Have the other character quickly run in, grab the weapon,
and run out again. Then, go in the castle with the strong character
and kill He Jin to end the level. You will almost always get the
character's second weapon and sometimes even their third weapon.
Note: You may have problems doing this with Zhang He.
Easy third weapons
Go to the Surprise Attack On Lui Biao level with an
already enhanced Lu Bu and the character you want. There are five
weapon boxes throughout the level. Get those with the other character,
not Lu Bu after killing every person on the level with Lu Bu,
except for the main person. Then, kill the last person. There
is also a Musou +10 and an Life +10 in the level. For a third
weapon, play under the hard difficulty setting. If you do not
get their second or third weapon, play on the other side.
Max out a character (with or without a fourth weapon). Put a base
strength character in the player one slot. The game adjusts its
difficulty according to the first player's strength. Then, put
your maxed character in slot two under the normal difficulty setting.
Play the Battle At Tong Gate. At the start of the battle, put
your first player character in a safe spot nearby then kill Tong
Gate Generals Ma Dai, Pang De, and Han Sui. By now Ma Chow will
be occupied with Cao Cao -- kill Cheng Yin and he will drop a
weapon box. Keep the box on the second player's screen and have
player one take the box. Have player two stand there and let his
bodyguards take care of any units. Then, take player one to the
northern-most point of Cao Cao's side of Tong Gate. Once there
you will find a box with a weapon inside. Take the weapon, then
hide player one and kill Ma Chow with player two.
Play the Battle of Mt. Ding Jun level on Shu forces. Turn around
and take the path Zhand Fei is taking. Kill Xiahou De to get the
weapons box. Go to where Xiahou Yuan is located and go right,
then break open the box and pick up the weapons box. Next, find
and kill Cao Hond and pick up the weapons box for the last one
in the stage. There is also a Life +10 to the right of Cao Cao,
to the left of you. You should play the level under the normal
or hard difficulty setting for a better chance at getting the
third weapon. The weapon will give you better stats. For example,
playing on easy results with Life +9, playing on hard results
in Life +31.
Play the Battle At Tong Gate level in two player mode under the
hard difficulty setting. Have one of the players be powered up
and the other as the character that will get the third weapon.
Leave the first player where they start (unless there are enemies
nearby, then move them away). Have the second player go to the
right. Hopefully they will start near Cao Cao. If not, then use
someone that does to find the box. Follow the hill to the left
and when it makes a sharp turn keep going forward until you find
the coast. Then, follow it to the left until you find a box that
always has a weapon in it. Get it, then move him to safety. Use
player one to finish the level. This may need to be repeated if
the found weapon is the player's second weapon.
Play the Siege Of He Fei Castle level. This stage is quite long;
save often in case you run out of time. First, defeat all the
enemies at the bottom of the map, but do not proceed upwards --
there will be a surprise attack coming from the southeast. Defeat
all of them, then go to the northeast part of the map. You will
know if you are in the correct location if a message stating something
about arrows appears. Quickly run across. Arrows will shoot at
you from the sides. Continue on to the Wind Corridor Trap. Instead
of going around it, got into it, avoiding the columns. The weapon
box inside contains your third weapon. Defeat Sima Yi to finish
the level.
Play the Fan Castle level under the normal difficulty setting
with a Warrior Body Guard (so that you will not get a level 3
body guard weapon instead). Find all the crates in the level.
There should be two weapon crates and Gan Ning should drop one.
Make sure that you build up your character slightly or equip an
Tiger Amulet, Tortoise Amulet, a Buckler (so that your guard can
not be broken) and a Speed Scroll. Also have the character's second
weapon (or first if you are very skilled). You will get the character's
second and third weapons. It is possible to do this level without
leveling up at all.
Easy fourth weapons
Play under the hard difficulty setting with two players
(one who already has a fourth weapon and the other that needs
a fourth weapon). Complete what is necessary with the good character,
then use the other character to pick up the fourth weapon. For
example, to get Taishi Ci's special weapon, play the Assault On
Wu Territory level with Lu Bu and his fourth weapon and Taishi
Ci. Get Taishi Ci to safety. Kill every one except Sun Ce. Then,
use Taishi Ci to get his fourth weapon.
Note: You do not necessarily have to pick up the item with the
weaker character. Anybody can pick up the fourth item for the
weaker character. It will automatically be given to the character
without the fourth weapon.
For precious (special) items, put the character whose weapon you
are after in the first slot (base strength) and put a maxed out
character in slot two. With player two, perform the actions required
to make the weapon appear then just have player one collect it.
For Supply Troop weapons, have a base strength player in slot
one and the character whose weapon you are after in slot two.
Do what is needed to get the weapon under the hard difficulty
setting.
Get a character's second weapon , choose the Nanman campaign,
then kill everyone (including Meng Hou), except Meng Hou for the
last time. At the end, you should have three weaponsm with one
being the special weapon. This can be done with Guan Yu, Zhang
Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhou yu, and Xiahou Dun. Note: Always use the second
weapon always as it does more damage.
Stay powered-up
When you are fighting with Xu Zhu during the time when
your health is red (True Musou), press [Circle] to attack
the enemy. When you fall down, you are still powering up. Wait
until you are fully charged and keep on going through this process.
Extra Musou attack
When you are attacking someone and are surrounded,
attack them to your maximum. When you would usually stop attacking
immediately press [Circle] to get the five or so blows plus
the Musou.
This trick can be done with Pang Tong when there are at least
a few enemies close to you. Do Pang Tong's six-hit combo into
a mass enemy group. Immediately after Pang Tong does his sixth
hit, press [Circle] for the Musuo attack. When you normally
activate his Musuo attack with the Musuo is down to 25% empty,
it gives you less hits. However, since the sixth hit strikes after
the beginning of the Musuo attack, the bar is refilled, adding
more special attack time. This is best done when Pang Tong is
maxed out with Attack and Musuo.
Start by choosing two people to play Free or Musou mode. When
you build up your Musou attack bar, stand next to your partner.
They must also have a full Musou bar. Have both players press
[Circle] simultaneously to get a super Musou attack that
can wipe out everyone without touching them.
If your character has a long Musou you can do a longer Musou attack.
Hold [Circle] while your Musou attack is going. If done correctly
and your Musou is long enough, it will do more hits to the Musou.
For better results equip a Dragon Amulet and try to pick up Musou
+10 items when you find them.
Super Musou attack
Two players are required for this trick. Get the two
players to full Musou, then go next to each other. Their hands
should be dark blue. Have both players press [Circle] to
do an electrical Musou that will stun the enemy and send him flying.
Longer Musou attacks
Use the following trick to make your combos larger
with Musou. Instead of just pressing [Circle] or tapping
it repeatedly, hold it until your Musou gauge is empty. If you
have the Way Of The Musou item, when it ends it will finish the
combo. This works well with Guan Yu.
Shorter Musou
A shorter Mosou Max stat may be better, since it requires
less time to fill up and Musou more readily available. Avoid taking
the +10 Musou boxes and do not use +xx Musou Max items.
Easy Musou mode
To complete beat Musou mode easily, start a game in
two player Musou mode. Choose the character you want to be. Then,
with the second controller choose any character that is already
leveled up and is good. Play through Musou mode with the good
character and you should win easily. Make sure you keep the other
character out of danger.
Start a two player Musou mode game. When you each find each other
and are fully charged with Musou, press [Circle]. The screen
will stop and rotate. Both warriors will do their specials and
it usually kills every enemy.
Super arrow attack
When you have lots of arrows with a full musou bar,
find a large enemy group and pull out your bow. Hold [Circle]
until your Musou bar is empty. There longer your Musou bar, the
more arrows you will shoot. This is extremely useful if you have
about 50 arrows and get a Musou Max for 10 seconds (Emperors Seal).
You can unload arrows for ten seconds plus however long your Musou
is.
Better kill bonuses
Kill Gate captains with Musou attack (full combos)
to get Defense Up +2 instead of +1. You can do this either in
Free or Musou mode. One way to fill up you defense meter quickly
is to play the Battle Of Hu Lao Gate level as the allied forces.
There are seven Gate captains and three officers who have the
Defense Up item. Kill them all with Musou attack to get +20 total.
You can also use this trick to Attack Up. Everything +1 killed
by Musou attack will be +2 (defense or attack).
Do a 20 or more hit combo to kill a general to get double the
amount of the normal + Defense or + Attack bonus. For example,
killing Gan Ning at Yi Ling with a big combo will give you +8
Attack instead of +4 Attack. Note: You must kill the general with
the combo.
Get at least an 8-hit combo to get Attack/Defense +2 instead of
+1.
More kills
Go to a gate but do not kill the Gate Captain. Kill
his guards and the Gate Captain will call for more men. The Gate
Captain will move back. Go to the gate until the small sign appears
and kill all the men that appear. You can lower the number of
people for that general. You can do this anywhere, with anyone.
It is also good training for you and your bodyguard.
Unlimited combo
You need at least a five hit weapon for this trick.
Attack four times and press [Triangle]. Repeat this for an
unlimited combo.
Better combos at sixth attack
Note: This trick requires third or fourth weapons and
does not work for all characters (works for Lu Bu). Do the usual
five normal attacks and when you do the [Triangle] combo,
repeatedly tap it quickly. Note: Some of them have it for the
attack where you do four attacks and [Triangle] (twice so
you jump up with them to hit them down). Some characters do not
have this type of attack.
Double charge intermission sequence
and morale boost
Select free mode and the Battle Of Mt. Ding Jun on
the Shu forces. Select any character. As you start, help Huang
Zhong get close to the top of the steep part of the mountain but
do not let him go through the gate yet. Then, go down the mountain
to the first row of spears and wait until Xiahou Shang comes to
attack you. Defeat him and continue fighting in that same area.
While you are fighting, track Huang Zhong's movements by pausing
the game to check where he is via the unit information. When you
notice that he is getting close to the gate, resume the game and
look at the doorway. Note: You can also tell if he is close by
the intermission sequence of him shooting an arrow over the mountain
and killing one of Xiahou Yuan's bodyguards. When you see Huang
Zhong fighting in the doorway, get a horse from nearby. If you
have the Red Hare or Hex Mark saddle equipped, you could use those
horses as well. After mounting a horse, go back and fight alongside
Huang Zhong, then follow him down the mountain. If done correctly,
you will be shown in the intermission sequence charging down the
mountain just behind Huang Zhong to engage with Xiahou Yuan. After
the intermission sequence, there should be a morale Boost for
all of the Shu forces. Note: This was done under the easy difficulty
setting.
Avoid falling
When you get hit back or knocked off your horse, press
[Square] while in the air.
When someone does a combo on you, their last hit will usually
throw you. While you are being thrown through the air, tap [L1]
a few times to flip back on your feet.
Knocking riders off elephants
Stand in front of the elephant that is going to ram
you. When it hits you, press [L1] a few times to bounce up.
While still in the air from your bounce, press [Square] to
execute your jump attack. Note: Do not try this with weak characters
with weak defense.
Opening gates
When fighting on a level with wooden gates, position
your character against to and facing a gate. Try to fire an arrow
through it, at the enemy soldiers on the other side. When you
hit one, the gate will open up.
Better horse tactics
Play under the hard difficulty and get a good Horned
Helmet (increases Mounted Attack). Some characters such as Liu
Bei and Ma Chao fourth weapons give mounted attack. It is good
if you also have a long Musou. When you do your Musou on a horse,
hold [Circle] until your Musou is empty. Your character will
do many strong blows until their Musou runs out. For best results,
have your characters five items be the Red Hare Saddle (or Hex
Mark), Horned Helmet, Cavalry Armor, Dragon Amulet, and Way Of
The Musou.
Avoid getting lost
If you are in a situation where you have no map during
the game, pause game play and use the large map at the equipment
screen to navigate.
Make a face
In two player free mode, have player one hold [R2]
or the bow and player two get in a cinematic scene (such as getting
in a battle with an opponent such as Yang Fe or Liu Bie). After
the scene ends, you should see player one's face, with that player
making a face.
Xu Zhu the elephant in opening
Enable the "Opening Edit option" code. At
the scene where the player you select would be on an elephant
hitting people, choose Xu Zhu. Play it to see Cao Cao on a elephant,
but you will first see Xu Zhu taking the place of the elephant.
No death in hero's end in opening
In the hero's end part of "Opening Edit",
put in one of the following to see him/her order troops to battle
while mounted: Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, Meng Huo, Zhu Rong, Diao Chan,
Zhang Jiao, Fu Xi, and Nu Wa. About all the Wu characters have
the scene with the boulder falling on someone; try it with Huang
Gai.
Special death scenes
Some warriors in certain battles have special death
scenes. These correspond to the battles in which these warriors
died in real life. Some examples include:
Xiahou Yuan, Mt Ding Jun
Zhuge Liang, Wu Zhang Plains
Dian Wei, Wan Castle
Guan Yu, Fan Castle
Special death sequences
In the Surprise Attack On Liu Biao, when Sun Jian is killed in
Liu Biao's trap, you will see your character behind Sun Ce, crying
over his farther crushed under a rock.
In the battle of He Fei (not He Fei castle), if Taishi C is killed,
you will see him being ambushed by Zhang Liao, and killed. Note:
This will only happen if Taishi C falls into Zhang Liao's trap.
This happens if Wu forces head too far into Wei's part of the
middle section.
Ending sequences
