Zhao Yun
Name: Raging Dragon

Map: Nan Territory

Restrictions: No bodyguards

1. Find Liu Shan within 2 minutes. It's best to use the save/load trick so that you find Liu Shan in the first box you open in order to save time.

2. Kill Xu Huang, then Cao Ren to open the castle door.

3. After the castle gate opens, run STRAIGHT to Liu Bei, ignoring everything in between. Liu Bei should have yelled for help quite a few times already.

4. Protect Liu Bei for the rest of the game. Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Xu Zhu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu will all be coming for Liu Bei's head. Kill them all.

5. After killing the enemy officers, Liu Bei will retreat.

6. Get 300 KOs within 13 minutes.

7. Level 11 message AFTER you beat the stage.

Note: Wear the Shadow Saddle!

Marking scheme: -20 points if you did not rescue Liu Shan within 2 minutes, -10 points if you did not get 300 KOs, -20 if you did not complete the stage within 13 minutes, -10 for each of Yue Jin, Yu Jin, Xu Zhu, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun who you did not kill.

Guan Yu
Name: Divine Dragon

Map: Xu Province

Restrictions: No items

Requirement: Get 300 KOs. Defeat Yue Jin, Yu Jin and Li Dian.

Note: If you get near Zhang Liao, who appears after the carriage reaches the exit, the stage will end. So, if you happen to be fighting Li Dian north of the river, be careful not to be knocked into Zhang Liao. Note: A report says that 200 KOs are enough.

Zhang Fei
Name: Venom

Map: tiny chunk southwest of mid castle in Nan Territory

Restrictions: No bodyguards

Requirement: Before the stage ends, defeat Cao Cao. Also kill all other officers.

Note: The stage ends when you successfully guard the Chang Ban Bridge against the Wei army for 10 minutes. You don't have to defeat all generals to pass the stage. But to get the 11th weapon, you've got to kill them all. It might be a good idea to have a second player guarding the bridge, while Zhang Fei go hunt for officers' heads. Note: It's okay to let one group of soldiers across the bridge. Note: Someone has reported that it is okay to let any amount of enemies through the bridge after Cao Cao appears (not verified).

Zhuge Liang
Name: Divine Feather

Map: Han Zhong

Restrictions: No bodyguards

Requirements: Defeat Yue Ying 6 times,  all have to be "by a wide margin". Defeat 2 of the other 3 officers.

Note: Use the Vorpal Orb/Way of Musou/Musou Power Scroll Combo. Yue Ying dies in two true musous. Vorpal Orb works on the juggernauts. Use C1 against them. Note: There will be a precious item report (Power Rune), and at the same time you'll get the Level 11 message.

Liu Bei
Name: King of Shu

Map: Cheng Du

Restrictions: No restrictions

1. Complete within 8 minutes.

2. Try to kill as many enemy generals (who are fleeing) as possible. Apparently missing one is okay.

Note: Get a second player and he can kill as many peasants as he wants. He can also fulfill all the requirements.

Ma Chao
Name: Last Stallion

Map: Jian Ye, but renamed to Xia Meng Gate

Restrictions: No bodyguards, no items

Requirement: 500 KOs

Note: It's tough because you are not allowed to equip anything. If you want a horse, you'll have to steal it from the enemy officer. It doesn't seem to matter if you're in the lead throughout the competition. But you have to win it to pass the stage. Note: Go next to Huang Zhong. There are infinite soldiers swarming you there so you won't have to spend time running around trying to find soldiers. C6 is useful in clearing crowds. There are tons of war god's axes that are dropped by the soldiers.

News: According to Muni Shinobu, the requirements include 500 KOs, Ma Chao being in the lead at least 5 times, and Ma Chao must double the second place finisher in KO count. However, the testers on the Bahamut board reported negative.

Weapon Stats: lv 12 tiger amulet, lv 20 horned helm (duh), lv 20 calvalry armour (duh), lv 15 elixir

Huang Zhong
Name: Venerable Master

Map: Xu Chang, but renamed to Chang sha

Restrictions: No items

2. When Wei Yan kills Han Xuan, ignore Zhou Cang and run straight to Guan Yu. They will talk. Decrease his HP until Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei appear.

4. Defeat Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei.

5. Get 100 KOs.

Jiang Wei
Name: Prodigal

Map: Cheng Du

Restrictions: No restrictions

Requirements: Defeat all generals before Liu Shan surrenders.

1. Ring the gong at the west, then ignore Jian Ge Gate, just go kill Xu Zhu and Xu Huang VERY quickly.

2. Liu Shan should appear by now. He'll move towards Zhang He and Cao Ren. Save before you go ahead and defeat both of them, all before Liu Shan surrenders to them.

3. Liu Shan should be heading towards the bottom right. Seal the gate at bottom right.

4. Defeat Deng Ai and Zhong Hui. They should be easier than the other 4 usable characters.

5. Go back near Liu Shan.

6. Level 11 message.

Note: Since it's tough to keep Liu Shan from surrendering, it's recommended to use the two-player trick, with the second player keeping Liu Shan inside his fort by hitting the gong to close the door in front of Liu Shan. Note: There are really really many ways to do this. For example, if you ring the gong on the west, Liu Shan will go towards the east first. If you did not ring it, he will go towards the western gates first. This also varies hugely depending on each player's fighting style and skill. You are recommended to find your own path for this weapon because your style and skill are not the same as mine.

Weapon Stats: lv 14 peacock urn, lv 14 horned helm, lv 20 jump scroll, lv 17 herbal remedy

Wei Yan
Name: Meteor Strike

Map: Wu Zhang Plains

Restrictions: No bodyguards

Requirements: Before Zhuge Liang launches an attack at Wei Yan (2:00), defeat Xiahou He, Xiahou Wei and Xiahou Hui in any order.

Note: Try equipping a level 4 Vorpal Orb and the Power Rune because time is very tight. After getting the weapon, expose Xiahou Ba's ambush at the west of the castle. Defeat him and the level ends. You don't need to fight the Shu officers.

Alternate method: Fail to defeat the three Wei officers. Defeat all Shu officers and get to 200 KOs after Zhuge Liang orders an attack on Wei Yan. If you do not kill Wang Ping, you need to get an extra 100 KOs (from Maboroshi). There is a certain time limit to kill Guan Xing and bridge the river (from Virtua Kage).

2. Protect all juggernauts. (but apparently it's okay to have one destroyed)

3. Level 11 message after defeating Guan Yu, just before the stage ends.

Note: Try not to advance too far, or else the enemy soldiers would destroy the juggernauts. Let the tanks pass the gate before following them in will help you protecting them.

1. Defeat Cao Xing immediately. He's trying to flee.

4. Get to 100 KOs at the top left corner.

Note: Apparently if you leave the middle river and land on the top left side of the castle, you will lose the weapon. Note: This is one of the most confusing stages. An empirical scoring scheme is as follows: --- completing the stage -> 20 points --- Kill Cao Xing at the beginning -> 20 points --- Talk to Cao Xing when he reappears, before Yuan Shu's reinforcements arrive -> 10 points --- Xiahou Yuan slowing the river -> 10 points --- Within 10 minutes, <49 KOs -> 0 points, 50-99 KOs -> 10 points, 100-149 KOs -> 30 points, >150 KOs ->40 points

Zhang Liao
Name: Celestial Wyvern

Map: He Fei

Restrictions: No restrictions

Weapon Requirements: When Zhou Tai appears, Yue Jin and all the castle door captains are still alive. Stage Requirements: Defeat all enemy officers except Sun Quan before He Fei falls.

Yue Jin's morale drops VERY fast. Also, the Wu troops' morale will raise each time Sun Quan orders an attack. The only way to prevent Yue Jin's seemingly imminent defeat is for you to kill enemy peons quickly. Whenever you reach multiples of 50s in KOs, your morale will raise for sure. So, whenever Yue Jin is in trouble, drop whatever you're doing and help him until he tells you to go back to defend the castle. It is important to find the balance between killing peons and chasing officers, because you need to kill the officers to pass the stage within 15 minutes.

1. Bottom left (reach 100 KOs and kill Ling Tong).

2. He Fei castle front (reach 150 KOs).

3. Top right and bottom right gates (reach 250 KOs and kill Gan Ning and Xu Sheng).

4. He Fei castle front (reach 300 KOs and kill Lu Meng).

5. Level 11 message.

6. reach 350 KOs.

7. Go to bottom of the map and kill Zhou Tai to end the stage.

Note: If Li Dian dies, you may need to get 50 to 100 more kills to get the weapon.

Sima Yi's true musou can kill up to 30 troops in one shot. Officers die in two full shots if most of the lasers hit them.

Lu Xun
Name: Raptor Map: stone maze at Yi Ling Restrictions: No restrictions (All directions below are as seen in the mini-map.) 1. At the beginning, there are only three red dots on the mini map: two on the left and one at bottom right. Defeat defense captain at bottom right corner. It's easy to get there. Remember the path you took. 2. Upon killing the defense captain, a stone sentinel in your area will move, go there. There will be an ambush. Kill everyone there. 3. Message appears about some stone sentinels moving. Go to where the message points to. That should be the path you took from the entrance to bottom right corner that was blocked during step 2. Move back to the entrance. 4. From the entrance, move to the square directly below it. This should trigger sentinel movements to the west and open up a path to the red dot at top left. 5. Defeat the gate captain at top left. 6. From there, go right, down, right, right, and Chen Shi and Zhang Bao should appear as an ambush. 7. Defeat Chen Shi and Zhang Bao. 8.

1. Kill Li Dian right away. 2. Close the bottom left gate. 3. Kill Yue Jin before he regroups his troops at 8:10 remaining. Message says that the damage dealt to the Wei army has spread. (Precious item report. It's the Charge Bracer! Apparently this is for those who didn't buy DW4.) 4. Kill soldiers until about 4:25 left. Cao Xiu ambush. Kill him and his soldiers. Another message says that the damage dealt to the Wei army has spread. 5. At 2:30 left, Zhang Liao ambush. Message says that you need to find an exit for retreat. 6. Continue killing soldiers (between 130-150 KOs, different every time) until a third message says that the damage dealt to the Wei army has spread. 7. At about 0:30 left, Level 11 message appears.

Note: The gates will respawn, so it doesn't matter if you defeat them. You'll lose if you die (duh) or all of your allied soldiers die. So be careful. Note: Killing Zhang Liao is NOT part of the requirements. You'll get the weapon message if you dare to stay in the stage for that long without finding the exit. Note: Zhang Liao is VERY strong. He'll use his C6, and more shockingly, he'll use R3 to announce himself to break your blocking. There are also archers around. They don't hurt (relatively) that much, but if they break your moveset, Zhang Liao will take advantage of it. Note: To exit the stage, randomly apparoach a gate. Kill the gate captain.

1. Follow the northern cliff as you get off the boat you begin at. As you reach a wooden gate, follow the left side of the wall. 2.

You drop a bomb on the ground next to the left wall and then run like hell to the wall on right side. 3. When the gate captain hears the explosion of your bomb, he'll go to the bomb site. You go to the gate he was guarding and the door with automatically open. 4. After passing the gate, you must switch between the big map and small map to know exactly where the enemies are. At the time, Lu Meng will move south towards you. Hide and move slowly towards the top left corner of the area, right next to the water, where a couple of pots are. 5. When Lu Meng passed, you can move faster. 6. Soon you'll get a message that says that the gate guards are slacking off. Switch to the small map and check closely the movements of the troops. 7.

Sun Ce
Name: Hierophant Map: Wan Castle Restrictions: No bodyguards

1. Kill the 5 fake Yu Ji's. One of them drops the war god's axe, save it for now. Then kill the real Yu Ji (the one with a longer HP bar). 2. Yu Ji will re-incarnate. Wait for the second real Yu Ji in front of the imperial seal (from a wooden box). Get the war god's axe, then use the 10-second musou from the imperial seal to kill him. You must be real quick, because he will retreat about 10 seconds after he gets hit the first time (and usually it is your allied soldiers who deal the damage). He'll say something before he disappears into thin air, so you have about 15 seconds to kill him. 3. Save and reload at this point. Finish the stage by defeating only the third real Yu Ji, who re-incarnates once more. Do not defeat other fake Yu Ji's. 4. There's a 5-minute time limit. 5. Level 11 message.

Note: Killing the first five fake Yu Ji's is not a requirement, but you'll need the war god's axe. Note: The fake Yu Ji's can be killed in one blow using the vorpal orb. You could save some time using it.

Da Qiao
Name: Mortal Beauty Map: Han Zhong, renamed to Wu Territory Restrictions: No bodyguards, no items The Da Qiao legend objective was that Da Qiao needs to stop every single one of the guests from leaving.

The story was that after Sun Ce conquered the Wu Territory, several of the ex-governor's guests disguised themselves as Sun Ce's guests. There was a feast when they decided to drug Sun Ce. But Sun Ce discovered the plot and he wanted them all dead. So the guests rose up and tried to assassinate Sun Ce. You, as Da Qiao, need to kill every single one of the guests. As you chase them out because they're running away, you'll be led to a trap. If your live bar is low enough, Sun Ce will appear to protect Da Qiao by sacrificing himself. After that, you'll get the level 11 weapon after you killed all the guests.

1. Open the south door by killing the soldiers. 2. Near the west gate, first guest appears. Defeat him within 1 minute. 3. Near the bottom right gate, second guest appears, defeat him within 1 minute. 4. Naer the left middle gate, third guest appears, defeat him within 1 minute. 5. The above must be done in 6 minutes. 6. Get 300 KOs within 15 minutes up to this point. 7. Level 11 message. 8. Get Sun Ce to die for you. The cutscene shows up when Sun Ce is close to you and when you're inside the trap. 9. Guests 4 and 5 appears, defeat them. There is a speed boot around where the rock trap is. 10.End of stage.

How to do it: 1. Ignore all sub-officers and run straight up into He Fei castle. 2. Kill all the soldiers surrounding until a message says that Sun Quan is rescued.

Taishi Ci appears in front of the middle bridge to block the path (the bridge Sun Jian destroyed at Battle of He Fei). Do not let Sun Quan meet him (or else he'll get killed) by leaving him with a few soldiers. 5. Gan Ning will appear from the bottom of the screen around this time. Ignore him. 6.

Diao Chan
Name: Muse Map: Wan Castle Restrictions: No bodyguards, no items 1. Do not let enemy spot you and reach Dong Zhuo. 2. Kill Dong Zhuo with more than 10 minutes left on the clock. 3. Defeat Hua Xiong to open the exit within 10 minutes from game start. 4. Level 11 weapon message. 5. Run to the escape.

Note: It sounds easy, but it's very hard in fact. Two-player trick recommended. The second player can stay at the beginning spot (also the escape spot) while Diao Chan goes in to kill Dong Zhuo. When Hua Xiong appears, let the second player defeat him. Then wait for the level 11 message before escaping. Note: You may let yourself be detected. But then you'll need to fight Lu Bu and that takes time. So it's easier just to hide from the patrols.

Lu Bu
Name: Maelstrom Map: Hu Lao Gate Restrictions: No bodyguards Requirement: Get 2000 KOs.

Note: Sun Jian appears at a fixed time after the game starts. Cao Cao/Xiahou Dun appears at a fixed time after Sun Jian retreats/dies. Liu Bei/Guan Yu/Zhang Fei appear at a fixed time after Cao Cao retreats/dies. Note: Defeating officers are NOT part of the requirements. There is only one requirement. But since the stage ends when the three brothers are all defeated, the biggest problem is how to keep one alive and keep him from killing you.

Dong Zhuo
Name: Pandemonium Map: Luo Yang Restrictions: No restrictions Requirements: Get 100 KOs. Apparently the order of killing the eunichs does not matter.

Yuan Shao
Name: Majesty Map: He Fei, renamed to wherever Gongsun Zan was at. Restrictions: No bodyguards 1. Kill all the calvalry troops. 2. Defeat Yan Gang and Zhao Yun when they appear. 3. Calvalry ambush message, kill every single last one of them. 4. Defeat Zhang Fei, and try to protect the enemy gate captain there. 5. Defeat Liu Bei when he appears, and also try to protect the enemy gate captain there. 6. Defeat all officers. 7. Gongsun Zan appears with a cutscene. 8. All gate soldiers killed message. 9. Level 11 message.

Note: If a message that says something along the lines of "Yuan Shao's officers do not trust him",  You've messed up. Also, if a message says along the lines of "the enemies are taunting Yuan Shao", you've messed up. Apparently sealing the gates AFTER the cutscene is part of the requirements. Note: Try to clear as many soldiers around Zhang He as possible. If there are too many soldiers around him, he'll give up fighting, flee the battle and mess up your requirements.

Zhang Jiao
Name: Staff of Peace Map: Ji Province Restrictions: No restrictions Apparent requirements: At 8:00 into the game, only one enemy officer and only one enemy gate remain with 100 KOs (verified by Muni). Weapon message comes up at 8:00 exactly.

Note: Each officer is assigned to an enemy gate. If you destroy a gate before its assigned officer appears, the officer will not appear. Therefore, the vorpal orb is recommended for speed killing and speed gate-sealing. Also, you can bring a strong second character and let him do all the killing. Zhang Jiao can get the weapon even if he has 0 kills.
