-----------
SHU KINGDOM (The Green Force. Also known as: House Ordos)
-----------
Zhao Yun (initial):
Young guy in blue armour and spear. Your cursor starts off here.
Five Tiger General.
Guan Yu (initial):
Fat guy Blackbeard look-a-like in a green toga. He looks funny to
Western-slash-Foreign-Devil eyes but will kick your ass in Hard Mode.
Uses the Halberd set of weapons. Five Tiger General.
Zhang Fei (initial):
Fat bearded guy with a red bandanna. Also uses a Halberd set of weapons.
Five Tiger General.
Ma Chao:
Some guy in elaborate armour. Some kinda spear. Five Tiger General.
Wei Yan:
Guy in a South American/Mexica mask. Slow, powerful, wields the staff
in a Darth Maul kinda way. Wei Yan also don't talk much. Looks like
Tam Tam from Samurai Shodown.
Zhuge Liang:
Some guy in a white robe and funny green hat. He's the minister-head-guy
of this warlord kingdom and uses a white fan to kill people. He does not
move as cool as the one and only "Lee" (aka Wong Fei Huang) of Last Blade
fame.
Huang Zhong:
Old guy in armour with a bow in the picture, but uses a sword in the game.
You can tell he's old by the colour of his beard, which is white. Five
Tiger General.
Liu Bei:
Shu Kingdom ruler. The guy has a neatly trimmed beard and a hair net.
True Musou makes him look like he has a lightsaber.
Jiang Wei:
Fruity looking young guy in silk pants and sounds like that wannabe-a-man
character in Last Blade 2, but is actually a guy this time. Now tell Eddie
Murphy to shove off.
Pang Tong:
Scary looking hobo in green rags. Carries a stick that's also green.
-----------
WEI KINGDOM (The Blue Force. Also known as: House Atreides)
-----------
Xiahou Dun (initial):
The man with the two handed sword. Eyepatch, blue cape, big ass sword.
He's commonly known as, "The Berserk Guy" since his gameplay resembles
Gatsu from Sword of the Berserk (Dreamcast).
Zhang He (initial):
Fruity fellow with the claws and tight pants. Looks like Vega from Street
Fighter 2, but more beautiful. Is he gorgeous or what? One of the Five Wei
Generals; two are not playable in this game.
Dian Wei (initial):
Bald guy with axe.
Xu Zhu:
Fat guy with hammer.
Zhen Ji:
Hot looking woman in a dragon dress with a midriff cut-out and leather
webbing on her upper thigh. No higher than that. Higher. Higher, dammit.
Uses a flute to sexually destroy men who look at her wrong.
Sima Yi:
Guy in dark purple robes who uses a feather fan. Wei's scary prime minister.
Cao Cao:
Wei kingdom ruler in purple robes and uses a sword. Isn't as cool as he
thinks he is.
Xu Huang:
Battleaxe using dude in a turban. Actually it's a coif to keep the sun off
but who's counting? One of the Five Wei Generals; two are not playable in
this game.
Xiahou Yuan:
Fat guy with a sword.
Zhang Liao:
Some guy in blue armour using a spear. Screams like an animal when he starts
his Musou. One of the Five Wei Generals; two are not playable in this game.
----------
WU KINGDOM (The Red Force. Also known as: House Harkonnen)
----------
Zhou Yu (initial):
Fruity looking fellow in red robes and a sword. The Alucard type,
if he was Chinese.
Huang Gai (initial):
Big guy with a club.
Sun Shang Xiang (initial):
Only woman you can pick initially. Uses the chakram like Xena, but doesn't
get shot with arrows, beheaded, and hacked into little pieces. In this game,
she keeps her sexual preferences and her loyalty to the Sun Family. She's
also known as, "SSX" because her name is too damn long.
Lu Xun:
Young guy with a funny red hat. Not a Shriner. Wu's minister after Zhou Yu.
Da Qiao:
I think it's pronounced, "Chao," like the little crawling nipple things from
Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) but we'll have to look at the Chinese characters
to be sure. Big Qiao is the black haired girl with the red fans. For the
purpose of this game, she's eleven.
Xiao Qiao:
Little Qiao is the other girl with the fans and cuter with her one pigtail
thing her older sis don't have. She doesn't age one year past nine in the
course of fifty years.
Sun Jian:
Dude in gold armour and a sword. Oh yeah, he's also the Wu kingdom ruler, but
gets mashed into butt gravy by a rock if you play through story mode with one
of the sons (see below).
Sun Ce:
Guy with the nightsticks (tonfa, japaheeno) and pissy attitude. Sees Sun Jian
get mashed into butt gravy by a rock (see above).
Sun Quan:
Guy with a sword. Supposedly the Wu kingdom ruler, but sounded too annoying to
Omega-Force, so they made him a reh-goo-lar character.
Taishi Chi:
Dude in armour with the two big sticks. The Walking Tank.
Gan Ning:
Half nekkid guy with a sword and red pants. Hella tattoos. Do those bells
mean he's a pirate? Kinda.
Lu Meng:
Dude with a spear.
-------
NEUTRAL (House Other)
-------
Lu Bu:
The other walking tank. The alien headgear should be a dead givaway.
Diao Chan:
The chick you see in the Full Motion movie at the Battle of Hu Lao Gate.
Wears white, and has the pinkest and weirdest silk pantyhose in Ancient China.
I also wonder if Koei put Nu Wa in this game, then why weren't the other three
of the "Four Precious Sluts of Ancient China" (of whom Diao Chan is one of 'em)
as fink characters? They can all use a pair of golden globes as weapons.
Huhuhuhuhuuu. Flames for this little tidbit is as certain that someday, I will
see you in hell.
Dong Zhuo:
Fat, disgusting little toad with the gross sneer. Killing him brings much
satisfaction. I'll see you in hell.
Yuan Shao:
The dude in the Nazi Helmet. He's also the only other guy with a cape. And
he's in yellow armour. I'll see YOU in hell.
Zhang Jiao:
Looks and plays like Jesus Christ, except he has a flamethrower in his
walking stick. Shrieks like a rabid monkey when attacking. I - WILL - SEE -
YOU - IN - HELL!!
Meng Huo:
Fat guy with the stubby claw weapons. If you put him in the Opening Movie
as the "Enchantress" you will get a close up view of his nipple. I did not
need to type that. Note to self: psycho-therapy Monday. Tuesday: visit cat
house.
Zhu Rong:
Tyris Flare look-a-like, but without the thong. Damn. Her makeup makes her
look the most appealing above the neck, if you know what I mean and I think
you do.
Nu Wa:
Little girl! Her little sword will make little holes in your little body.
Fu Xi:
Other guy with the big ass sword. Not as cool as Xiahou Dun. See you in hell.

Free or Story Mode, Naman, kill Zhu Rong:
Zhu Rong
Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao, Zhen Ji, Sun Shang Xiang (SSX) Clear Story Mode:
w = weak hit (default: square)
s = charge hit (default: triangle)
Combos are so easy even a lobotomised idiot oranguatuan can do it:
w
w-w
w-w-w
w-w-w-w
w-w-w-w-w
w-w-w-w-w-w
As you can see, the combo system is fast and furious button mashin'.
For the more advanced, there are the charge hit comboes:
s
w-s
w-w-s
w-w-w-s
w-w-w-w-s
w-w-w-w-w-s
Each charge hit does different things, despite the simplicity of execution:
s = charge 1 hit, does stun or knock back, depending on the character.
w-s = charge 2 hit, knocks an enemy into the air to start an air combo.
This combo can be done multiple times to achieve an infinite number
of hits.
w-w-s = charge 3 hit, causes enemy or enemies hit to be stunned.
w-w-w-s = charge 4 hit, knocks back enemy or enemies, depending on character.
w-w-w-w-s = charge 5 hit, starts an air combo, but delivers more hits if
Triangle is pressed again as a "finisher." If the finisher is not
done, the combo can be chained for an infinite number of hits.
w-w-w-w-w-s = charge 6 hit, does knock back or stun, depending on the character.
Some characters can press Triangle after the sixth hit to perform
more hits than normal. Using this combo usually invokes the fourth
weapon element as well.
Musou:
------
A character's special attack or musou attack is done by pressing the Circle button.
Press the circle button to reagin your life -- no wait, that's Metal Gear. Press
the Circle button to invoke the musou attack. You can also hold down circle to
prolong the attack.
Low life means your Musou bar will automatically refill (because you suck). If you
activate the musou during this time, you will do the True Musou attack, which does
slightly more damage than the regular musou attack and makes you invincible to enemy
attacks for a while. You can also hold down the circle button to prolong this musou,
which for some people, last almost forever.
First Person Shooter:
---------------------
Hold R1 and L1 to move while aiming your bow.
Fast Message Dot Removal:
-------------------------
Remove the minimap ping by pressing R2 twice to quickly go in, then get out of,
the up close-up map.
Avoid Slowdown:
---------------
Remove the enemy lifebars to speed up gameplay when things bog down. Sometimes,
even that can't help.
Bodyguards:
-----------
Bodyguards add to your bonus points at the end of a stage, but penalise you
should they die; it's just like the SAT if you think about it. Bodyguards have
five weapons to pick from that will affect how they will fight.
Sword - attacks and defends at normal rate.
Spear - range is increased at cost of attack and defense.
Pike - attack is increased at the cost of speed and defense.
Bow - shoots arrows at normal rate.
Crossbow - damage is increased at cost of rate of fire.
Bodyguards are healed if you fetch a meatbun when you are at full life or if
you fetch a Full Restore.
Mounts:
-------
There are five different types of horses in the game:
Light Brown -
Ride at any class, but slow and will rear at anything in front of it,
even Privates. This horse is ridden by Guard Captains anyone else who
is leading a squad of soldiers (occasionally a Sergeant).
Dark Brown -
Minimum Class 13 to ride, second slowest horse and can run down Privates
and Sergeants , but not anyone of higher rank. Ridden by an Officer or a
Flag Officer who is not "distinct" (but will show on the worthy opponents
list in the stage result screen).
White -
Minimum Class 11 to ride, the average horse in the game and the best
you'll normally get. Can run down everything except for other Officers
and your own bodyguards. This horse is ridden by distinctive officers,
i.e., characters who you can play in the game.
Hex Mark -
Charcoal grey horse, minimum Class 5 to ride. This horse has abilities that
are very similar to Red Hare, and can be counted as another ride in a
different colour.
Red Hare -
Red horse, minimum Class 1. Fastest horse that can barely outrun Zhen Ji
with a Speed Scroll +16.
Elephant -
Pachyderms do not count as horses but act more like tanks. Minimum Class
unknown (possibly 11). Meng Huo and Zhu Rong's elephants require Class 1
standing.
Mounted Attacks:
---------------
Mounted attacks suck. You will most likely hit an enemy once, doing little damage,
or you will get knocked off by an arrow or by a "horse-jack" hit (note that this is
one of the few instances that an enemy soldier or officer will jump). Stick with
fighting on foot while using a horse to get you to where you need to go (much like
how Nathan Bedford Forrest used his infantry as 'horse infantry' in the American
Civil War). Elephants are pretty much the same, except Stampy is used to break the
wooden palisades in the Nanman map.
Cheap Shit Enemy Officer Tactics:
--------------------------------
Enemy officers can regain their life by simply concentrating and a random
meatbun will spawn inside them. Conversely, your own allied officers will
do the same provided that there are no enemies to distract them from
engaging the sub-routine.
This occurs with alarming regularity on Hard Mode.
To keep this from happening, use bodyguards equipped with bows to shoot
these cheap bastards out of their stance, allowing you also to do some
disfiguring damage to their privates. Bow bodyguards are always preferred
to any other bodyguards. Gate and Supply Captains can also regain life,
although their preferred "power-up" is to summon a Defense x2 when they
are low on life. Officers do this with alarmingly regularity too on Hard.
Force Destruction (not the Jedi Knight kinda way):
-------------------------------------------------
Killing Flag Officers immediately causes the soldiers under that Officer
to flee towards the closest enemy troop entry point -- even if it was
"closed" or secured by killing the Gate Captain. If you get in the way
of the feeling troop though, they will attempt to kill you, so stay out
of their way and they will flee the battlefield, leaving you to freely
kill someone else. Any adjutant officers under a "flag-officer" (the unit's
commander) will simply vanish when their C.O. is killed; this will definitely
occur if the subordinate officers are not on the screen. Also, a destroyed
force will sometimes linger on the battlefield since they cannot successfully
withdraw to the edge of the map due to barriers, walls or other obstacles.
Gate Closing:
------------
When you first play the game, close enemy gates as you pass. This will not
only stem the tide of enemies and allow you to get a feel of what's going on,
but each Gate Captain you cack will drop a Defense +1 for your trouble. You'll
develop your damn defences and let your character be that much tougher next time
around. After a while, you will notice that all Gate Captains are under the
map's objective officer, so they will never flee the scene until the battle is
over. However, you will also notice that if every other unit (except the enemy
objective officer) is routed, only the gates closest to the action (where your
army is engaged with his army) will respawn reinforcements. Yup. Do yourself
a favour and kill those gates first before you engage the objective officer
in battle. It's better to have your army surround the bad guy than to have his
army surround you.

(Step 1) Try and get a character's fourth weapon before they start on
Story Mode. This doesn't apply to the first character you play,
but to every character you can play after the first. Use the
second player to achieve all the objectives to get the weapon
while the first character keeps the enemies' levels low (because
the first character is Class 16).
The fourth weapon allows a character to achieve a lot in a short
amount of time, even finishing the game quickly on Normal.
(Step 2) Build up your HP max and Musou max quickly by finding the four
max bar power-ups in Yellow Turbans. Sweep from one side of the
map to the other and be sure to kill Zhang Liang (dude who
freezes the river) to make him freeze the river after he dies.
You'll be able to pick up the Life +10 item easily and finish
the stage as well when you cross the river to the North Coast
to showdown with Zhang Jiao (flaming Jesus).
With practice, you can complete this level with all four power-
ups in under 7 minutes, usually less.
(Step 3) Maxxed out with HP and Musou, build attack and defence by playing
He Fei Castle on Normal (play Wei). This siege stage should go by
quickly since all the enemy generals migrate towards the center
of the map. Totalling up the kills, we get:
Lu Meng -- Defense +8
Sun Shang Xiang -- Defense +8
Zhuge Jin -- Defense +2
Lu Xun -- Attack +8
Gan Ning -- Attack +8
Zhen Ji -- Attack +2
Sun Shao -- Attack +4
For a total of 18 points of Defense and 22 points of Attack. Did
I mention the best part? Armed with The Way of Musou, Elixir, and
the character's fourth weapon, you can scarf up all the bonuses
and finish the level by killing Sun Quan in less than 20 minutes.
This is the fastest way to build your people up, period.
Just remember not to head straight down the middle of the big
pavillion in the center of the city (right after you start) or
you'll trigger enemy archers. Go around the lake instead and stay
away from bridge entrances that lead into the pavillion and you'll
avoid this hazard.
All enemies are indistinct save for the "people with names." However,
there are some important enemies that you need to know. All enemies,
when struck, will display their commanding officer and their status in the
lifebar at the top left of the screen. For example, fighting Cao Cao's
bodyguard will yield this display:
Commanding Officer --> Cao Cao ========== lifebar here ============
Rank of enemy --> Guard
The rank of the enemy will determine what task the game has them do, be
it guarding a gate, or defending an enemy officer. Be sure to know these
enemies since they are vital to getting special weapons and items:
Private - These are the weakest soldiers.
Corporal - Gives Adrian Shephard a bad name. Privates with tougher sneer
but little ability.
Sergeants - Slightly stronger than regular grunts, but die just as easily.
Lieutenants - Low ranking officers who show up in some specific stages,
like Assault on the Rogue Fortress. In that particular case,
Lieutenants guard small "micro-gates" -- killing them will
open these gates. They are otherwise identical to Sergeants.
Captains - Don't let the name fool you. These are the Yellow Turban's
equivalent to the Sergeants.
Majors - These will be the toughest normal enemies you face beyond Guards;
they are simply referred to as "those ass buckers*" once you play
on Hard Mode. Their only saving grace is that they drop temporary
items in the form of Battleaxes and Chainmails when they die, so
you can use it to kill the rest of their gay buddies.
* "buckers" substituted for a variant of a four letter term commonly used
in the military acronym, "FUBAR."
Bowmen,
Crossbowmen,
First Bow,
Bow Captain - Alike in all but name. They shoot, and shoot, and shoot some
more. Their hobbies include turning you into a human pin
cushion and they tend to run off when you get close rather
than die like men. Their great numbers and constant attacks
will be the cause of your death on more than one occasion on
Hard Mode. Musou to avoid getting hit, but kill them with
regular blows since that does more damage. First Bows and
Bow Captains drop arrows when dead.
Gate Guard,
Gate Captain - These are special guards who defend troop entry points.
Defeating a gate guard is fairly easy, but killing the
gate captain not only closes a gate (denying enemy
reinforcments) but also nets you a Defense +1 (or +2 if
you do a big enough combo).
Supply Guard,
Supply Captain - Rare squad that guards a precious item or even rarer
fourth weapon. Ignore the guards and kill the captain;
you don't get the goodies if someone else kills him.
Guard,
Guard Captain - The dudes with the shortest names are the baddest of them
all. Guards are tough to kill and Guard Captains even
tougher. The Guard Captains are also the only ones who
drop health restoration items when they die, so look for
one when your life is low.
Trooper/
Soldier/Rogue - This is the Yellow Turban/Nanman/Bandit equivalent to the
Han Private.
Warrior - This is the Nanman equivalent to the Han Sergeant.
Nanman Elite - This is the Nanman equivalent to the Major, although the
same body shroud will be used for Nanman Guards and Guard
Captains. I like the Raiden hat.
Amazoness - If Amazons are the fabled women warriors, then what the hell
is an "Amazoness?" Is Koei implying that Amazons are in fact
half-and-half, and that's why the "-ness" suffix was added to
enable this legendary race of people to reproduce?
I'm intrigued. Gamewise, these are the Sergeant equivalents
for Zhu Rong's army. However, don't get caught staring --
these Tyris Flare wannabes know how to handle "swords" if you
know what I mean and I think you do.
There are permanent and temporary items. Temporary items are extremely
powerful, but last only for a short duration. Permanent items are in
two camps: ones that raise your attack and defense, and the ones that
are "equipable" items that further enhance your statistics or give you
special abilites.
Temporary Items:
----------------
Battleaxe -
The Battleaxe doubles you current attack -- for a measly 30 seconds.
It applies to both normal attacks, charge hits, and musou attacks.
Chainmail -
Chainmail is good, doubling your current defense, bow defense, and
mounted defense for 30 seconds.
Imperial Seal -
Grants permission for you to use your musou for 10 seconds without
stopping. Conversely, you can use it to refill your musou and leave
it at that.
Big Fat Meatbun -
Restores to maximum HP, regardless of status.
Jug o'Wine -
Not Hooters, not Jugs, just a Jug o'Wine. Fills Musou to max.
Full Recover (blue glass bottle) -
Restores to maximum HP and Musou, regardless of status.
Permament Items, Part One:
--------------------------
Sword -
Increases character attack statistic by 1, 2, 4, or 8. The bigger the combo,
the harder the difficulty, the "later" the level, the better the bonus.
Shield -
Increases character defense statistic by 1, 2, 4, or 8. The bigger the combo,
the harder the difficulty, the "later" the level, the better the bonus.
Weapon Box -
You get a weapon for the character you're playing. You will get to review
whether you want to keep this new weapon or an old one that you have in
stock. You can only keep one of each weapon (see your Database).
Item Bag -
You get an equipable item (section 3.1). If it's a repeat, you'll have to
decide what to keep. Check your Database to see what you have and what to
shoot for. Red "Ability" Items are in Red Item Bags while regular items
are in brown bags.
Items are completely random, but officers consistently drop items in
certain stages so if you need a good item, go replay that stage until
you get it. Later stages and harder diffulties will yield better items
of higher values. Luck may or may not help. It's totally up to you.
Luck also increases the percentage of an item being dropped, but that's
about it.
EXTRA CRISPY ITEMS
------------------
Red Hare Saddle - start stage on Red Hare Horse.
Hex Mark Saddle - start stage on Hex Mark Horse.
Emperor Saddle - can ride all horses, regardless of experience Class.
The Art of War - Battleaxe, Chainmail, and Imperial Seal last longer.
Bodyguard Manual - Bodyguards become more aggressive.
The Way of Musou - Can use True Musou attack regardless of health.
Survival Guide - attack strength doubled when life critical.
Defender - defense doubled when life critical.
Fire Arrows - you shoot fire arrows instead of normal arrows.
Buckler - won't be overpowered when guarding.
Power Scroll - won't lose weapon clashes.
Golden Harness - won't fall off horse when shot by an arrow.
EXTRA CRISPY ITEM LOCATIONS
---------------------------
Red Hare Saddle
Stage: Hu Lao Gate
Side: Allied
Method: defeat Lu Bu, supply team will appear on top of Fan Shui Gate and
head towards the northern most troop entry point.
Hex Mark Saddle
Stage: Cheng Du
Side: Liu Bei (Shu)
Method: kill all enemy generals except Liu Zhang; precious item report
at southwest edge of map.
Emperor Saddle
Stage: Yi Ling
Side: Shu
Method: prevent fire event by defeating Zhu Ran (under Lu Xun) in the
small valley to the east of Sun Shang Xiang's initial position
after Lu Xun surveys the camp. Then defeat all Wu generals except
Sun Quan, and a supply team will appear from a troop entry point
near Sun Quan's command base. Defeat Lu Xun last to be closer to
the supply team when it enters the map.
The Art of War
Stage: Siege of He Fei Castle
Side: Wei
Defeat: all enemy generals except Sun Quan. After five minutes, precious
item report will appear on Sun Quan's ship.
Bodyguard Manual
Stage: Siege of He Fei Castle

Method: defeat Xu Zhu; precious item report at the dead end path adjacent
to the room with the enemy archers and Musou +10 Item.
The Way of Musou
Stage: Guan Yu's Escape
Side: Guan Yu
Method: defeat Xiahou Dun
Survival Guide
Stage: Wu Zhang Plains
Side: Shu
Method: Allow two of the Five Tiger Generals to be defeated (Zhao Yun,
Zhang Fei, or Huang Zong) to trigger the falling star event.
A precious item report will apppear directly north of the right-
angle ramp entrance to Zhuge Liang's encampment.
Defender
Stage: Wu Zhang Plains
Side: Wei
Method: Allow two of your distinctive officers to be defeated (Zhang He,
Zhen Ji, Xu Huang, Xu Zhu, or Zhang Liao) to trigger the falling
star event. It can be that threee Five Wei Generals are the only
valid candidates for this item. Precious item report at the
Northeastern most point of the map (in Sima Yi's camp).
Fire Arrows
Stage: Chi Bi
Side: Wei
Method: kill Zhou Yu before the fire event (winds called up is okay).
Precious item report at the center of the map.
Buckler
Stage: Battle of He Fei
Side: Wu
Method: trigger Taishi Chi assassination event, Sun Quan jump bridge
event, Zhang Liao's surprise attack event, kill Zhang Liao.
Power Scroll
Stage: Battle of He Fei
Side: Wei
Method: trigger Zhang Liao surprise attack event, Gan Ning surprise
attack event, kill Gan Ning.
Golden Harness
Stage: Tong Gate
Side: Wei
Method: trigger Han Sui's defection, then kill all enemy generals except
Ma Chao. Pass Tong Gate and the supply troop will appear in a bit
from the western troop entry point.
Note that defence, bow defence, and mounted defence is completely separate
from each other. In fact, the best scenario is that the defence characteristic
is halved and applied to the bow and mounted defences. The worst case scenario
is that all three attack and defence values are separate from each other.
With that in mind, equip the items that will help the character if s/he sucks
at say, defense. The little bit of attack you add won't pay off if you can't
take six steps before dying in a puddle of your own urine.
Overall, I recommend more defence than attack since you want to prolong your
stay in the battlefield. So what if you more damage if you can't sustain the
hits? Enemy officers can regain their life, unlike you, so you must outlast
them at all costs.
Wing Boots
Speed Scroll
----------------
Jump is not necessary unless you need that extra height to reach riders on
elephants. Speed is essential if your character is slow. Balance the need
though between that extra speed that gets you to a hot spot, but without
the proper defence or firepower that you require. Conversely, speedy
characters do not need a speed scroll unless you want to see if they can
outrace a horse.
Seven Star Orb
-----------------
Luck only influences whether or not items are dropped from defeated enemies.
For example, high luck people will get meatbuns from lowly Sergeants while
low luck characters may not even get an item from a Guard Captain. Other than
that, luck serves no purpose.
Wind Scroll
----------------
Extra weapon reach is good. But whether you can do the damage is another.
Be sure to give this a try on characters with 360 degree attacks like Zhen Ji
or Pang Tong to extend their area of effect.
Elixir
The Way of Musou
Dragon Amulet
-------------------
Always a good item to have, even if you have fast Musou Charge already.
Faster musou charge means you can stay in Musou attack mode more, which
in turn makes you invincible most of the time. With the True Musou item,
you can kill lotsa things in a short period of time. The Dragon Amulet
will prolong the attack for a few more moments and enhance the combo.
Bodyguard Manual
-------------------
A good idea, when you consider you have eight bodyguards who are elite
killing machines. It's a bad idea to bring this idea and let your bodyguards
die though since the space the Manual takes up will become dead weight. If
you intend to let your bodyguards bite the dust, take another item and
consider bodyguards an expendable resource.
Power Scroll
Buckler
-------------------
Weapon clashes are rare, but they do occur. A power scroll would be great
in countering it, but ask yourself, "How often do you encounter a clash?"
The space can be used for a better item, and one that can actually do
more in a span of more time. And while you won't lose a weapon clash, you're
not garuanteed a win either -- the worst you do with this item is achieve
a draw with your opponent on Hard Mode.
Additionally the buckler should be considered when you are playing
conservatively as a "turtle" and waiting for your Musou gauge to build
when you're low on life. It will prevent you from staggering, which can
prove fatal when surrounded on Hard Mode.
Red Hare Saddle
Hex Mark Saddle
Golden Harness
---------------------------
A horse should be used only if you need to do something fast. Otherwise
you will be wasting a space on something you can fill with something else.
Horses should only be used if you are considering just assassinating a
Flag Officer or if you really have slow character. Keep in mind that you
can be shot off the horse. If you use the Golden Harness, you can say in
your seat, but you still take damage from the arrow and you can still be
"horse-jacked" if someone takes a swipe at you.
Fire Arrows
-----------------------
Not as cool as it may seem. It merely does damage (a little bit) when they
hit an enemy, doing more damage than a normal arrow hit (charged or regular).
And no, your bodyguards do not set people on fire even if you have this item.
Defender
Survival Guide
The Art of War
-----------------------
Interesting little item the Defender, it's supposed to grant you double
defence when you are at critical life (musou auto-builds). It does, but
requires you to get up from a prone position while having that level of
low life. That means you can't trigger an escape jump with L1 to avoid
being comboed in the air. When it does activate, it basically spawns a
Chainmail in your character that lasts 30 seconds. Pretty sucky. The
same goes for the Survival Guide, but it's the Battleaxe. However, Xu Zhu
can be made to fall down voluntarily after he finishes his True Musou
attack. When he gets up, he will automatically trigger the Defender and
Survival Guide.
Before you go and try it, to have the critical items working, the life
is already pretty low to begin with, so I wouldn't recommend this whole
arrangement until Xu Zhu is properly built up. To add insult to injury,
you can throw in The Art of War to prolong the effect.

** I'm not being paid enough for this shit to go on
giving you people free information.
#1 - Go and play something else.
#2 - That failing, play DW3 again but with another character.
#3 - Go for that infinite combo we always talk about.
#4 - Imagine female characters fighting nekkid.
#5 - See how many Red Hares you can get: knock off Lu Bu and make it respawn.
#6 - Start doing really weird shit like walking backwards into every fight.
#7 - Piss into the wind.
#8 - Play the fat people.
#9 - Sell the game for $5 or best offer, then buy DW4.
#10 - Then take dump while reading the DW4 manual.
. . . play her until I knew her better than my wife. She'd definitely get

of her Heel Spin, frenzied whipping, and her drop kick (aaaarrrrrrrrgh).

Quick Notes:
The Legacy of Lame, Soul Beaver 2 had some cool looking human enemies, esp.
that hot looking sorceress with the tight butt and girly fireball throwing
motion. I also liked the war hounds working in conjunction with their
religious fanatic masters who resembled the Christian Crusaders a millenia
ago. So I'm asking myself if we theoretically put the two enemy AIs together
in a street brawl (like the Battle of Hastings kinda, but with these fellas)
what would the outcome be?
Possible Officers: Officers:
----------------- --------
Sarafan Raziel Anybody can kill Sarafan.
Sarafan Turel They suck. Some games suck,
Sarafan Dumah but SR2 was the suckiest bunch
Sarafan Rahab of sucks that ever sucked.
Sarafan Zephon
Sarafan Melchiah
All battles have to be fought on the Hard Difficulty. Both Story Mode and
Free Mode are acceptable. After enemy supply teams appear or precious item
reports appear, you can go to History and check for the location.
Precious item will stay at the same spot and do not "disappear" unless the
box is broken. Precious item will be found in a wooden box, break the box
to retrieve the item or weapon.
A Supply team will move and is subject to being killed or fleeing the map.
Using the map on the top right of the screen, you can track the movement
of the Supply team by keeping an eye on the small group of red dots that
appeared when the supply team appearance message appeared. You need to
catch up with the supply team as quickly as you can because if they reach
a troop entry point or if they are eliminated by your allies, the item will
be lost. Supply team will be led by a supply team captain, defeat the captain
to retrieve the item (see section 2.3).
Weapon Elements:
----------------
Red (Flame) Does damage to enemies after initial hit.
Blue (Thunder) Juggles enemies for extra combo hits after landing.
Purple (Death) Doubles damage after element is invoked.
Easy Fourth Weapon Retrieval:
Some fourth weapon appearances are time limited, and could be missed if
you are not quick enough to get to it. Here is a convenient trick to
avoid that.
Start a game on 2 player cooperation mode, with 1P as the 4th weapon
retrieving character and 2P as the character you want to play with. At
the beginning of the game, place 1P near the 4th weapon appearance
location or a safe place near the 4th weapon appearance location and
leave him there. Start playing the stage using 2P and fulfill the 4th
weapon appearance requirements. When the 4th weapon appears, switch
back to controlling 1P and retrieve the precious item conveniently
located nearby.
This gets extremely easy (even on Hard Mode) if the 1st player is Class 16
and the 2nd player is a powered up max character.
