Hint: Battle Of Tong
Gate level: Hidden items:
A Life +10 can be found in the
upper-left corner, directly next to the Wei's Gate. It is one of the two pots
on the left. A Musou +10 can be found in the middle of the shallow waterway.

Hint: Battle Of Tong
Gate level: Make Han Sui defect:
Play as Cao Cao forces. Make Cao Cao
and Han Sui meet. An intermission sequence will begin. To make Han Sui defect,
you must defeat all of his sub generals. This will also earn Xu Zhu's tenth
weapon if you are playing under the hard difficulty setting.

Hint: Battle Of Tong
Gate level: Prevent Han Sui from defecting:
Pay as Liu Bei's forces. To stop Han
Sui from defecting to Cao Cao's side, defeat all generals, including Cao Cao's
sub generals. This will lower his morale to one star. After awhile, Han Sui
will not defect. This will also earn you the Shadow Saddle which prevents you
from being knocked off by enemy attacks.

Hint: Battle Of Wan
Castle level: Lu Bu appearance:
Go to Musou mode and get to the
Battle Of Xia Pei. Make Lu Bu retreat. Do not kill Diao Chan or he will be
angered and try to kill everyone. Once he retreats, go to Wan Castle. At some
point, he will appear and try to kill Cao Cao.

Hint: Battle Of Wu
Zhang Plains level: Orb:
Go to Zhuge Liang's castle, but do
not go inside. Instead take a right go until you are past the building. Then,
go left. There should be a lot of hay in those sticks. Go to the end of all of
them. There should be a wooden box there. Break it open. There will be a Get
Item. Then, finish the level. Note: It is always an Orb under the hard
difficulty setting.

Hint: Battle Of Wu
Zhang Plains level: Items:
To get the best items get a good
character that is fast at running and attacking. Max out his defense and
attack, then go to the Wu Zhang Plains level on the Wei side under the hard
difficulty setting. There are a few items in crates. Their locations are as
follows: top left near gate, middle path, top middle where Cao Cao appears, and
on the left-hand side of the Shu fort. Look for single crates. The rest of the
items appear with a supply team (group of wooden oxen on wheels that start
around Ma Chao's original position heading down the south path towards the
bottom left gate). Defeat Jiang Wei and they should appear, but you have to be
fast. Note: Have Luck equipped. You should have Seven Star Sash at least level
14 and Hex Mark. You do not have to be on horseback to activate Luck.

Hint: Battle Of Xia
Pi:
In the Battle Of Xia Pi, your Wei
Forces are on the opposite side of the same castle that they were defending
during the Yellow Turban Menace. Quickly go south to a small encampment of
buildings just west of the southwest corner of the castle, and just north of
the river. Wait for a short while and Zhang Liao will appear (he will be
against you). Try to defeat him from his horse before he can challenge you to a
duel. Getting his horse is crucial. If you defeat him in a duel which he
challenged you to on his horse, defeating him will make the horse disappear. If
you fail to defeat him from his horse before he challenges you, press Start
to decline his duel when he challenges you. Defeat him in battle, then quickly
try to get on his horse. Ride north around the northwest corner of the
building, past the enemy stronghold at the top, and go to the bridge crossing
the northern stream. Soon Lu Bu will say, "The enemy outnumbers us
vastly". Just after he says that, the north gates will open and not only
will Lu Bu charge out, but so will an enemy carriage. Dodge Lu Bu and destroy
the carriage. Do not allow it to escape or your battle will be much harder.
Once the carriage is destroyed, Lu Bu will say, "Damn! We will have to
retreat". However, he does not retreat and continues fighting. Dodge
around him again and try to just enter the castle. An intermission sequence
will show the stream running through the castle, then an island in the middle
with Lu Bu's horse, Red Hare, and a pot on it. Once this is done, quickly exit
the castle. Dodge Lu Bu (setting your guards on attack and letting them
distract Lu Bu is recommended) and cross the bridge of the northern stream
again. Guo Jia, your ally, will meanwhile say that there is a stream running
through the castle that will substantially limit your movements. Go to the big
boulder between the bridge and the north stronghold and stand near it. Note:
You could go to the north stronghold and take out the gate captain, but be sure
to get close to the boulder once done. Also, destroy the pots to regain any
lost health. Soon Guo Jia will tell you to use boulders to dam the stream. Then
a battle note will state that the Rockslide preparations are complete. Another
intermission sequence shows your character jumping on top of the rocks and
saying that the water should recede now, attack. Immediately take your horse
and ride south around the west side of the castle. Go to the south part of the
stream and cross it over a bridge. Then, go to the southwest corner and take
out Hou Cheng (or let him surrender and withdraw). Then scan by the river in
the southwest corner and you will find another group of five enemies under Lu
Bu, guarding a land bridge leading to the island in the middle of the stream.
Take out the men, then cross the land bridge. Break the pot, as it has a Musou
Up +10 upgrade. Then, mount and capture Red Hare. Note: As you do these actions
you may notice that your overall morale expands to a very high extent. During
this time, a lot of the generals are withdrawing. Quickly go around the south
and east side of the castle. Sneak around Lu Bu again (you could also try to
inflict damage to him) and enter the castle through the north side. Then, keep
to the building's right by the stream running through the castle. There will be
a large alleyway leading to stairs into the water. Go into the stream. Notice
that before damming the stream, the water would have dragged you to the south
side of the castle, but not now. Go north and exit the river to the west. You
are now at the northwest part of the castle. Meanwhile, more of your allies
will be starting to advance on Lu Bu himself. As you exit the river inside the
castle, there will be enemies on the north side. Ignore the enemies. An
intermission sequence will soon appear, showing Chen Gong sadly saying how Lu
Bu only sees the battlefield. Then, Chen Gong will surrender to you. When the
sequence is over, continue around the buildings and move south along the west
wall of the castle. Lu Bu will try to retreat for real this time, along with
Diao Chan. If you feel confident enough, and if your health is high, defeat
Diao Chan instead of letting her escape. This will anger Lu Bu and he will
restart fighting again. Meet him this time and attack. As the others attack,
try to get behind him and attack him. He will usually be blocking in front.
Note: If no other ally officer is trying to fight him as well, do not go near
him. When you succeed in killing Lu Bu, you will have won the battle.

Hint: Battle Of Xu
Chang level: Kills:
Play as the Wu or Shu side. After
every General is killed on your side, Sun Jian will struggle and will soon only
have one or no guards. After Xu Zhu appears, he will bring Cao Cao srtonghold.
It will be non-stop; advance slowly and protect Sun Jian while doing so. You
will get about 800 to 1000 kills. If you do this and kill lots of Generals,
12,000 points will be given to you after the battle. This also works with Cheng
Du on Wu or Wei side, where the non-stop stronghold is in Luo Castle (top where
Ma Su is located), and in Jian Ye (bottom of map where Sun Jian is found).

Hint: Battle Of Ye
Ling level: Easy completion:
Play as Xiao Qiao and equip the Red
Hair Harness. When you enter the Stone Sentinel Maze, after the figures start
to move up and down you can ride over them. When one starts to rise, move
directly towards it. When it is about a quarter up, you should run right up and
over it. This makes it possible to enter the Bai Di Castle from the maze. If
this does not work, try to ride up different parts, such as the sides.

Hint: Battle Of Yi
Ling level: Get Meng Huo and Zhu Rong as reinforcements for Shu:
In Shu Musou mode, finish The Nanman
Campaign. Defeat Meng Huo seven times (once in a duel) and Zhu Rong (in a
duel). An event with Zhuge Liang and Meng Huo will happen. Then, in the Battle

minutes. Meng Huo and Zhu Rong will appear.

Play under Liu Bei's forces. When
you pass either bridge on the side of the map, a message will appear stating
that Liu Chan is still trapped inside the castle. Locate where he is at the
pause menu, then smash open the box while you are on a horse. You will get an
intermission sequence where you save a baby.

Hint: Guan Yu's Escape
level for Shu:
In Act 1 of Yellow Turban Menace, do
the Fortress and Rebellion levels for the Yellow Turban. Then in Act 2 at Shi
Shui, first let Hua Xiong come out of the gates. Yuan Shao will say "Isn't
there anyone who can kill Hua Xiong?" Take out the Supply Depot and kill
Xua Xiong. Then, finish the level (Red Hare or two players recommended). At Hu
Lao Gate, kill Lu Bu and Diao Chan and let Dong Zhuo escape.

Hint: Hu Lao Gate

Hint: Hu Lao Gate
level: Defeating Lu Bu:
Choose Gan Ning. Go to Hu Lao Gate
approach Lu Bu. He will challenge you to a duel. Accept the challenge. Let Lu
Bu hit you or charge your Musou. Lure him into a corner or pin him on the wall.
Use your Musou. His life will drop quickly. Note: Make sure Gan Ning is strong.
Do the same to defeat Gan Ning in a duel. Use a character whose first charge is
shooting out elemental orbs (for example, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei, Pang Tong,
Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, and Da Qiao). Then, get their
fourth weapons and equip a Blast Orb (level 2 or above recommended). When you
get in a duel with Lu Bu, keep tapping Triangle and his life will slowly
drain to nothing. Note: this method will let you win any duel. To defeat Lu
Bu,you need any character at maximum rank; a level 9 weapon; the following
equipment at these levels: Peacock Urn, Tiger Amulet, Tortoise Amulet, Dragon
Amulet (optional), and Speed Scroll (optional); and level 20 bodyguards with
pikes, spears, or crossbows (only because it is guard piercing). You can defeat
Lu Bu or anyone else with this on any level. Make sure the bodyguards are
always on the sword icons. Wait until the bodyguards surround Lu Bu then hit
him in the back (or in any unguarded spot), then unleash an all-out attack on
him.

Hint: Hu Lao Gate
level: Easy five secret costumes:
Play the Hu Lao Gate level on Han
side under any difficult setting in free or musou mode. At the begining of the
level, go to the first gate and encounter a gate captain (Guo Si, Li Ru, or
Zhang Liao). Defeat the gate captain's officer and the gate captain himself.
The gate will open. Note: You must defeat the gate captain's officer before
him, or he will run away, Otherwise, defeat all enemy entry port but this is
not necessary. Follow the rules to unlock the costumes easier then defeat these
generals in any order: Lu Bu, Diao Chan, Li Jue, and Dong Zhou (you can still
let him escape). If this does not work the first time, try it again. It mostly
works when your character's weapon is at level 2 or higher.

Gao Ding, and Yong Kai. In other words, kill Yong Kai's two sub Generals and
Yong Kai in that order. After doing so, Dong Tu Ne and Ahui Nan will defect.
Get a horse nearby or equip a saddle. Immediately ride or run to Meng Huo's
castle. Defeat Wu Tugu or King Mulu to get the gate to open. Go in the castle.
Meng Huo will appear immediately and you can kill him there. Note: When
fighting Meng Huo, massive reinforcements will arrive and Gate Captains will
appear every ten minutes. Lu Xun or Zhuge Liang will be struggling in battle.
Be careful, because Zhu Rong will also march to kill your main commander. If
you go into the castle, a 1000 kill possibility can happen.

Hint: Nanman Campaign
level: Getting the Elephant Saddle:
On the Nanman Campaign level on the
Nanman side have any player be Meng Huo and the other player be a maxed out

Hint: The Two Qiaos
level: Easy completion:
After rescuing Xiao Qiao, quickly
rescue Da Qiao. Then, meet up with Sun Ce. Once all three are following you, go
south. However, go over to the east side of the map, through the gate. When
Dong Zhuo's troops arrive, they will hunt for you. If you try to meet them down
the center, you will lose, as you will be overwhelmed by their sheer numbers.
You might survive, but odds are that you will be defeated. Going to either side
causes them to split up, making it easier for you to survive. You will not have
to deal with five to officers, their sub-officers (if any), and their troops. A
fully decked general is recommended. Equipment should include: Red Hare Saddle
(to move quickly), Charge Bracer, Peacock Urn, Tiger Amulet, and Vorpal Orb.

Hint: The Two Qiaos
level: Fighting Dong Zhuo's Army:
If you want to fight Dong Zhuo's
entire army but have problems with the Qiaos dying, get a second player (or
control player two by yourself). Have player two collect both Qiaos, and then
have player one attack some of Niou Fu's troops so that they will stop
following player two. Let player one be found before Dong Zhuo's army splits,
then seal a gate in a far-off corner with player two. Wait there and fight the
army using player one. The Qiaos will be safe because everyone will be
following player one.

Hint: Xia Kou level:
Make Gan Ning weak:
Go to Xia Kou and wait until Zhou Yu
talks about the gunpowder on Huang Zu's northern ship. Break the burning pot so
that his ship will be on fire. Leave the ship. Gan Ning and Su Fei will get on
the burning ship. The ship will move and hit the other ship, causing a fire.
Gan Ning and Su Fei will appear. Gan Ning should be very weak by now.

Hint: Xu Chang level
for Wu side:
Play in Musou mode under the Wu
side. You may play as any character. Play all levels in any way desired. When
you get to Act 3, play The Battle of Chi Bi level. You must make sure Zhuge

all succesful. If done correctly, the final level of the final act will be Xu
Chang.

Hint: Yellow Turban
Fortress level: Orb:
Play the Yellow Turban Fortress
level on the Han side. Once you start, there will be two forts (left and
right). Go to the left fort and defeat the officer outside the gate to get the
gate open. Once inside, go to the bottom left corner. A crate should be there,
near a fence. Open it, and an item that should be an Orb will appear. To help
you get these Orbs easier, equip the Seven Star Luck.

Hint: Yellow Turban
Menace level: Hidden items:
There is a Life Up on the top left
squared area near Zhang Liang with flame geysers. The pot stands by itself.

Hint: Yellow Turban
Menace level: Persistent opponents:
You will find Huang Gai and Guan Hai
fighting outside of a gate on the lower middle portion of the map. These two
characters will always be fighting when you go to them. If you notice, Huang
Gai is Guan Hai with the G and the H switched. The G at the end of Huang is
also removed.

Hint: Yellow Turban
Rebellion level: Hidden items:
There is a Life Up near Zhang Jiao
on his right. The pot near the brown box. Another pot has 200 HP+. A Musou Up
is in one of the three pots near Zhang Liang's location, when coming in
straight from below. To get +10 Musou, go to the far right-hand side of the map
at the beginning of the level where Liu Bei is fighting with He Yi. Go towards
the circular area. You will see two or three pots lined up. Break them and get
the +10 Musou. To get +10 Life, go to the fort on the map with the phantom
army. Go into the bottom corner along the side (to the right side of your
character, and left side of the map). Break the single pot. You will get a +10
Life.

Hint: Yellow Turban
Rebellion level: Stop the fire cannons and wind:
At one time during this battle,
Zhang Jiao will grant Zhang Bao powers. After this you must kill Zhang Bao, and

Zhang Bao is located.

Hint: Yellow Turban
Rebellion level: Dong Zhou appears in Dynasty Warriors 3 costume:
Note: In order to do this, you must
have the Zhang Jiao team. Play the Yellow Turban Rebellion level on the Yellow
Turban side as Dong Zhou. Kill all of the generals until Dong Zhou appears. Get
close to him, and you will notice that he is wearing his costume from Dynasty
Warriors 3.

Hint: Easy stats and
experience:
If you have a strong character
capable of completing levels with a difficulty rating of about six or more and
you need upgrading, go to the Mt. Ding Jun level. Fight for the Shu side. Once
in the level, fight your way towards Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He. If you defeat
Xiahou Yuan, he will give you +4 attack and 1228 weapon experience points.
Zhang He will give you +4 defense and a little less experience points. If your
character is not strong enough to battle at Mt.Ding Jun, select the Battle of
Guan Du level and fight for Wei. There are many officers and Zhang He, Liu Bei,
and Zhang Fei all drop +2 power-ups. Go to the Unification Of Jiang Dong level
in the Wu Territory under the medium difficulty setting. All generals and their
officers give a minimum of +2 to attack/defence, and the rest give +4. The
difficulty for the level is only rated for 4 on medium difficulty. Weapon
experience is not very high, however, and you will only acquire about 3000
weapon experience points (more if you juggle the Named Ones). The Battle of
Jian Ye is the best level for weapon experience, and there are some good
power-ups there as well. The four fake Sun Jians will all give over 1,000
experience each, as well as the real one. Then, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Sun Ce,
Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang will give you a lot more. Most of the power-ups
dropped by Generals in the game are Attack ups. Your attack will reach maximum
before your defense does. To raise your defense faster, play the Campaign
Against Sun Jian level as any force. Many Generals there will give you Defense
ups. Go to the Hu Lao Gate under the hard difficulty setting and kill all
generals. You will get over 5,000 experience points. Go to the Battle Of Hu Lao
Gate level as any character (at least Class 10 and weapon level 5). Destroy all
generals except Lu Bu (just evade him) and run up sides of gate. Collect the
Musou +10 and the Health +10. Many generals in Hu Lao gate have at least +2
items. Note: Do not knock Lu Bu off his horse because it will be easier for him
to attack you; just run and stay away from his slash. He cannot go up the
stairs of Hu Lao Gate on his horse. With any character with a level 5 weapon or
above, go to Lu Bu's Revolt on Dong Zhou's side under the hard difficulty
setting in free mode. When you start, go to the room west of Gao Shun. Go south
and find the pot in the back corner. Get the Life Up +10 from it, then kill Gao
Shun to get an Attack Up +4. Go north from there and kill Zhang Liao to get an
Attack Up +8. Go west to the room where Chen Gong is found. Go south and break
the pot to get a Musou Up +10. Kill Chen Gong to recieve a Defense Up +8. Then,
kill Lu Bu. Repeat this level many times. The Attack for the character you are
using will fill up first, and Life and Musou should be close together. Defense
will fill the slowest.

Hint: Easy win:
Jump up and press Triangle.
Your character will do a slamming stab attack into the ground. This is quite
effective, but on the way down your character is defenseless. The enemy will
often attack you. However, if you hold Square on the way down, most
times you will not get hit. When fighting with a lot of enemies around you,
sometimes the game slows down. If you enter the power struggle thing (where you
attack repeatedly) while the game is slowing down, you will win easier because
everything else is slow while you are at normal speed. Use the following trick
for an instant death of any enemy that is not an officer. Equip the Vorpal Orb
at a high level so you do not really need a Tiger Amulet.

Hint: Easy win in two
player mode:
If you are having trouble defeating
a general, have one player use his surprise attack (R3). When the enemy
unblocks, and pulls back, strike. This is also useful when defeating Lu Bu or
any other general.

Hint: Musou modes:
In order to unlock the Naman Musou
mode, you must unlock the character Meng Huo. To do so, during a Musou mode
with either the Shu or Wu Kingdom, defeat Meng Huo in a duel when he challenges
you. After that Musou mode, you will unlock him. After have completed the Shu,
Wei, Wu, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and Naman Musou modes, the Yellow Turban Musou mode
will be unlocked. To unlock the Yuan Shao and Lu Bu Musou mode, complete the
Shu, Wu and Wei Musou mode once.

Hint: Extra spin
attack:
When an officer's Musou bar is full,
press Triangle + Circle. He will do six spins instead of three.

Hint: Defeating
officers:
Grow your Musou, then use your
jumping charge attack. When you land, use your musou immediatly to do double
damage on any opponent. If you have a high level character, this will work well
on any officer. You can usually kill them in two or three hits.

Hint: Easy weapon
experience:
Play the Jian Ye level on the Nanman
side under the easy difficulty setting. This requires a level 15 Tiger Amulet
and a Red Hare Saddle. Play normally, killing the four fake Sun Jians, then
kill sub-generals in the following order: Taichi Ci, Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai, Sun
Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shang Xiang. Any unpowered-up character will
instantly have there level 5 weapon and some ranks up. Do this four times and
you will have the level 9 weapon and rank 1 or 3 at least. First, get Guan Yu's
Escape for Cao Cao's forces (Wei). Access this by selecting the Yellow Turban
Rebellion first in Act 1. Then in Act 2, clear both stages. After the Battle of
Guan Du in Act 3, it will be Wei Tales, Guan Yu's Escape. Now that you have
Guan Yu's Excape, set it to the easy difficulty setting. Equip a saddle of any
kind, if available, and sprint up to Guan Yu. Try and isolate and defeat him.
He will give you 848 weapons points under the easy difficulty setting after he
is defeated. If you hit him with a Charge attack, you will receive 32 weapons
points under the easy difficulty setting. Combo him five times at least, and
you will unlock the level 2 weapon for any character in under five minutes. Be
careful, as Guan Yu has three times his normal stats on this level. Play the
Yellow Turban Rebellion on Zhang Jiao's side. Defeat every officer and sub
officer. By doing this under the easy difficulty setting, you will leave the
stage with over 12,000 weapon experience. Play the Battle Of Jian Ye level
as the Shu side in free mode. Choose the character for which you want to
maximize his or her power. It is best to have at least the level 7 weapon.
Quickly, eliminate Sun Jian at the bottom of the map. If you want to boost your
weapon experience first, kill one illusion of Sun Jian. After you kill the real
Sun Jian with the static around his body, you will get about 2,028 weapon
experience and an +8 attack in normal mode or 1,016 weapon experience and a +4
in easy mode. Sun Ce will now take command. Kill him to get another 2,000
weapon experience and +8 attack. If your health is low, kill SunSan Xiang or
one of the elite guards to get an All Recover boost. Sun Quan will now take
command. Kill him to get 2,000 weapon experience and +8 defense. Make sure your
health is towards full before facing Sun San Xiang; she will have Zhou Tai
nearby and lots of soldiers. Taici Ci will also pursue you when facing Sun
Quan. If "The main camp is under attack" message appears, forget the
general-killing spree. Instead, help Liu Bei get secured. There are lots of 10
second Musous and Life Recovers in boxes near Liu Bei -- do not worry about
your vitality bar. If you do not kill the soldiers fast enough, then Sun San
Xiang will appear and hunt you down. Kill her, but there will be no weapon
experience or status items. Also, before facing Sun Jian, you need to kill
Huang Gai to open the gate. To finish the stage quickly, equip Red-Hare, or if
you do not have any saddles, knock a general of his or hers. Note: Under the
hard difficulty setting, status items will still be the same, but weapon
experience will be doubled to 4,000 points.

Play the Battle Of Jian Ye level
under the hard difficulty setting. If you think that your character will die if
you play that level on that difficulty, then get someone to be a character who
is already powered up (level 10 weapon recommended) and have that person help
you. Kill all of the Generals in the level, and if needed have the powerful
character weaken the General, then kill the General yourself. Sun Jian alone
gives over 2,000 weapon experience points. Play the Yellow Turban Rebellion
level under the hard difficulty setting. Defeat all enemy sub-officers and
officers, but do not defeat any Gate Captians or Zhang Jaio will retreat to
prevent this. Do not defeat Zhang Liang; they will have more morale, and it is
impossible for allies to get to Zhang Liang. You can now defeat all Gate
Captains. The best order is: He Yi, Yan Zhang, Gao Shing, Deng Mao, Cheng
Yuanzhi, Pei Yuan Shou, Guan Hai, Zhang Man Chang, Zhang Bao, Zhou Cang, Han
Xian, Bo Zhang, Zhang Liang (optional), Lui Pi, Huang Shao, and Zhang Jiao. If
you are on the Wei side, you can defeat Deng Mao, Gao Sheng, Cheng Yuanzhi, He
Yi, Yan Zheng, etc. Also, you should get Life +10 by killing Lui Pi and going
straight up. There should be two pots and one box. Break the pot on the very
right. If you are running low on health, break the middle pot and Musou +10 by
going to Zhang Liang after killing Han Xian. Charge to Zhang Liang and once you
cannot go any further, take a right. There should be three pots. Break the one
that kind of pops out. If you are once again running low on health, break the
right pot by the end. You should have a good 3,500 experience points, but this
is mainly for weaker characters. If you have about a level 7 weapon, just go to
the Battle Of Jain Yi level and defeat every officer and sub-officer. Defeat
all Sun Jian's images to get a good 10,000 experience points. Use the following
strategy to increase a character's weapon to level 9 within an hour and a half.
Do the following levels in order under the hard difficulty setting: Nanman
campaign three times, killing every officer and sub-officer; Campaign Against
Sun Jian Lu Bu's forces under the normal difficulty setting, killing all
sub-officers and officers; and Campaign Against Sun Jian Lu Bu's forces under
the hard difficulty setting. You should now have a level 9 weapon. Play the Jie
Ting leve as ether Cao Cao's Forces (easier) or Liu Bei's Forces. You will get
about 1024 experience for defeating a famous officer and about 500 experience
for a lower officer. You will also get an extra 40 experience for Charge hits (Square(2),
Triangle) or other combos ending in a charge attack on famous officers.
Remember that your weapons change at level 3 and level 7. It would help to have
a level 15 Tiger Amulet, a level 20 Tortoise Amulet, and a level 15 Peacock
Urn. Even if you get knocked around, you will lose less damage if you did this
stage without a Tortoise Amulet at all. You could probably do this with a level
2 and higher weapon. Get the desired character with the weapon to level up to
the Hu Lao Gate level(on Dong Zhuo's side). Clear the stage of every officer.
When you get to Yuan Shao, do not use regular attacks on him. Instead, get a
horse and keep riding by, continuously hitting him with the Triangle
move. Every time you hit him, you should get 32 weapons experience under the
normal difficulty setting. First, complete the Wei Dynasty campaign or at least
make it to the The Siege Of Fan Castle level. Play this level in free mode
under the easy difficulty setting. Fight for the Wei Forces as any character
you wish to gain weapon experience for. Defeat every officer on the map. Try
starting with Zhou Tai and his officer, Xu Sheng. Then head up towards Lu Xun
and his officer, Ding Feng. After that, go towards Sun Zhang Xiang and her
officer, Ling Tong. After that, go for Taishi Ci and his officer, Zhu Ran. By
this time, either both Lu Meng and Sun Quan, or just Lu Meng are at the west
gate. Move to Lu Meng and his officer Jiang Qin. Now all that remains in your
way is Sun Quan and his officer, Cheng Pu. Once the mission is done, you should
have about 8,000 weapon experience. Be careful, as this level is somewhat
difficult. Make sure that you have at least a level 12 character.

Hint: Easy level 10
weapons:
Play in two player mode. Use a low
trained character who has a ninth weapon for player one and another trained
character with at least a ninth weapon for player two. If you were supposed to
defeat an enemy general, let player two weaken him. Then let player one defeat
the enemy general.

Hint: Fourth weapons:
If you are trying to get a fourth
weapon and it is not working, make sure your weapon is at level 9. If it still
does not work, then try it in Musou mode. Start a game under the hard
difficulty setting with the correct level and character for the weapon desired.
As soon as you start, pause game play and quit. Set the difficulty to
"Easy". Do not select "Continue"; instead, start a new game
in free mode or Musou mode. As soon as that level starts, press Start + Select.
Do not worry if the game resets, this is meant to happen. Then, select
"Continue" to get the weapon in "Easy" mode. I you get
three stats for any character completely maxed out, he or she will gain their
fourth weapon. Obviously, you must accomplish this with your third weapon
already gained.

Hint: Easy weapon
levels:
For easy second weapons or level 4
weapons, play The Yellow Turban Menace a few times. If you want to get your
rank faster, also keep playing the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Hint: Weapons:
For a second weapon, get your weapon
to level 4. For a third weapon, get your weapon to level 7.

Hint: Locating
valuable items:
If you are having trouble locating
valuable items when they appear, pause game play, select "History",
and scroll to the "A valuable item has been discovered" notice. It
will show you the exact location of the item when it appears.

Hint: Easy duels:
Use Huang's Bow at level 10 or more.
When a duel begins, take out your bow and shoot. The officer will fly back and
come towards you. This gives you enough time to use your bow. To do this
easier, shoot the bow, release the button, hold it again, and shoot. Repeat
this until he or she is dead. Note: This will not work for all generals, especially
Lu Bu. While in Musou mode during a duel, if you are losing, run up as close to
the wall as possible. Press R1 to aim with a bow and arrow. The general
you are dueling will not attack, and you can survive to fight him on the
battlefield.

When you are losing a duel, go to
the side of the dueling fences and hold R1 to switch to bow mode. While
in bow mode, look outside the fence. Note: You must to be touching the fence
and be looking outside for this to work. As you are starting a one or one duel,
the best way to get a good start and kill them quickly is run towards them.
Jump and use your Square attack in mid air to hit them. They usually
stop guarding when you jump. Then, get behind them when they are on the ground.
When they get up, do your 1, 2, Triangle attack and repeat until they
die.

Hint: Defeating Lu Bu:
This trick will take quite a long
time, but is worth it. Before facing Lu Bu, charge up your Musou. Then, charge
towards him (from behind, if possible). Use your Musou on him. After he is on
the ground, use this chance to run away. Charge up your Musou again and return
to attack him. Your Musou could be more powerful when your life bar is red.
This will set Lu Bu on fire. Take Lu Bu's Red Hare and run back and forth. Run
him over and attack with Triangle to get weapon experience or just a
normal Square attack. When he is almost dead, you can get off the horse
and use Musou, or keep riding horse and lunge at him. Use the following trick
to defeat Lu Bu in a duel. When in Hu Lao Gate, Yuan Shao will say
"Protect the ram while it heads for Hu Lao Gate". After the ram
destroys Hu Lao's Gate, Yuan Shao will say "All forces march. Take Dong
Zhuo's head." After that, Lu Bu will appear. A few seconds, later Lu Bu
will say "You dare face the mighty Lu Bu" . Duel him. Use the
following items as Zhao Yun under the easy difficulty settin to defeat him.
Note: Also use Zhao Yun's Max combo, which is Square(2), Triangle(3).
If done correctly, he should fly in the air, allowing you to land another
combo. The items are: Tiger Amulet: 15, Tortoise Armulet: 19, Peacock Urn: 15,
Dragon Armulet: 15, Wind Scroll: none. Make sure your character has almost
maximum stats. Use the following trick to defeat Lu Bu in a duel. This can be
somewhat difficult to actually do, but if it works you can defeat Lu Bu in a
duel easily. First, get your character's weapon to at least level 4. Going to
all three of the Yellow Turban levels twice (and defeating most, if not all
Generals and sub-Generals) should take care of this. Attack Lu Bu with the third
charge (Square(2), Triangle) and keep pressing Triangle.
You will notice that since the character has the second form of the weapon,
they do more hits than before. When Lu Bu becomes dizzy from the last hit, get
behind him and do a very strong combo (varies for each character). Keep doing
this until he is defeated. Note: Some characters tend to push Lu Bu to the
side, thus missing the blow that actually makes him dizzy (for example, Liu
Bei, Sun Quan, Guan Yu, etc.). However, this does not make it impossible for
them to pull this off. To defeat Lu Bu in under ten minutes, when the battle of
Hu Lao Gate starts, quickly get your gate open by defeating the General that
blocks it (Li Ru, Dong Min, etc.). The battering ram should now appear. Kill
the General that blocks the Shu army. After killing him, the Shu army should
protect the ram. Do not kill the Guard Captains. You will need their health
power-ups when fighting Lu Bu. When the gate breaks, quickly hit Lu Bu off his
horse. He should now be in rage and pursue you. Do not accept his duels. When
fighting Lu Bu non-duel style, just block (L1) all of his attacks. If
the light shines, jump and press Triangle for a jump charge. He should
now be flying in mid-air. Quickly slash twice before he guards and counter.
After jump charging, guard again. It is best for Lu Bu to let him decrease your
health to red so you can Musou rather than slashing. Make sure health is
nearby. When his life gets low, his Musou attack will shatter your defenses if
not blocked correctly. Make sure you are in a stance in front of him. If he
Musous, execute your Musou as well if you want to do damage. A stalemate will
start; press Square rapidly. First, get your character to level 8 or
lower. Then, get your weapon to level 5 or higher. Finally, level up your
bodyguards until you get 8. At the beginning of the battle of Hu Lao Gate,
defeat at least four officers. When the ram appears, do not kill the guard
captains. Wait until the ram breaks the gate and Lu Bu appears. Knock him off
the Red Hare and do not challenge him to a duel. Get him to chase you, and run
into only one other General. Get that General to attack him. Keep your distance
and try to use your Charge Bow to knock him out (hold R1, then press Triangle).
When he is knocked out, go up to him and perform a combo. If your life is red,
keep your distance and let the General and your bodyguards attack him. When you
get your Musou, use it on Lu Bu. Keep doing this until he dies. You can kill a
Guard Captain to heal. Choose Zhao Yun. Equip him with a Lightning Orb. Charge
up your Musou, then go to Lu Bu. Use your Triangle attack on him when he
runs toward you. This may take a while to do, but it is worth it. Use the
following trick to defeat Lu Bu without getting hit. Use Ma Chao or an edit
character who uses Ma Chao's techniques (Spear 2 as a female). Before you get
to Lu Bu, get a horse. Having a level 9 or 10 weapon helps, but is not
necessary. Having eight bodyguards also helps, but again is not necessary. Once
you reach Lu Bu make, kill all of the normal soldiers near him; this is
optional if you have the Shadow Saddle equipped. Be careful not to hit him or
he will attack you savagely. After the normal troops are dead, you can get to Lu
Bu. The reason the normal soldiers must die is that they would knock you off
your horse. Once there is noone around, kill Lu Bu with your normal Triangle
attack. It has a large range and stuns Lu Bu. The second time will knock him
over, but since he always does the fast jump up your next shot will hit him
anyway. If your character is weak, it is easier if you have a second person.
This is a precaution because if Lu Bu does get a hit in (uncommon) they can
charge past and knock him over while you get back on your horse. Choose anyone,
then if desired try to duel him. It probably will not work. Then try as best as
you can with either sticking with groups of men to attack him or doing a small
amount of attacking while running back and forth.

Hint: Easy kills:
Unlock Ma Chao and the Shadow Rider
saddle (to avoid getting knocked off). Then, ride into a crowd of enemies and
use your charge attack. It will send a shockwave into the enemies, taking
anywhere to half or a little less than half of their health. Repeat this a few
times and you will have killed any enemies around you. Using this, it is
possible to get 1000 or more kills easily in a stage.

Hint: Regain health:
When you are low on health after an
officer battle, you can get health easily by defeating elite guards, guard
captains, and gate captains. Note: The Yellow Turbans do not have elite guards,
but some of the captains have health.

Hint: Sniper bow:
When aiming at someone far away,
hold R1 for a few seconds without touching anything else. You will zoom
in on the target, making it easier to select who you want to hit with an arrow.

Hint: Flaming geysers:
The geysers will stop burning or
shooting up in the air just before they explode.

Hint: Dim Sums and
Musou Wines:
This can only be done in Musou mode.
Choose the Wu Kingdom and play until you reach "The Little Conqueror"
tale. Choose Campaign for Wu Territory first and take the supply depot. Then,
choose Unification of Jiang Dong. The Dim Sum is located on the top fort, to
the left of the bottom entrance. The next one is located inside the bottom
fort, to the left of the center building. The two Musou Wines are located
inside the Elft fort, in the smaller center fort, at the bottom left corner,
next to a guard watch tower. The other one is on the top fort, to the right of
the bottom entrance.

Hint: Defense from
Gate Captains:
Go to a difficult level and let your
Gate Captain get killed. A Defense +1 will appear.

Hint: Flip up after
being knocked down or off a horse:
After being knocked down or off a
horse, quickly press L1 to flip up and get ready to attack or guard.
This also works well when fighting in duels.

Hint: Counter-attack:
If you jump and press Triangle,
but are hit in mid-air, quickly press R1 and Triangle again.
Almost always, you will not get hit a second time.

Hint: Attack Range:
The Attack Range determines how long
the sword is ("Reach", according to Dynasty Warriors 3). The
Wind Scroll item increases it. The characters with the most Attack Range are Lu
Bu and Cao Cao. The ones with the least is Sun Ce and Nu Wa (edit female character
with Raeper).

Hint: Luck:
Luck gives you a chance to get
better recovery items, Orbs, and special items. The items that increase luck
are Seven Star Sash and the Hex Hare Saddle. For example, in Battle Of Jian Ye
level, the elite guard next to Huang Gai gives you Life Recovery +100, but if
you a Hex Hare equipped it should give All Recovery Full.

Hint: Raising morale:
To raise your army's morale, you
must defeat a group of 50 soldiers. Every 50 soldiers defeated, one of your
generals will make a comment such as "I bow to your skills", "We
will all follow your example", etc. This will raise your army's morale.
Defeating 1000 soldiers will raise every general to eight stars.

Hint: Longer Musou
attacks:
Hold Circle during a Musou
and it will last slightly longer. If you do this during Musou full for ten or
sixty seconds, your player will continually do the Musou attack until the bar
runs out.

Hint: Special Musou
attack:
Play with two players. Fill both
player's Musou bar to full. Each player must stand near the other player, then
press Circle (or do Musou Attack) together. The screen will act like if
they did a True Musou Attack (when the health is in the red). Then, both
players will have a Special Musou Attack. Note: This can be done even when at
full health.

Hint: Horse ability:
Before you start a battle, equip any
harness. During the, battle you will get the ability in any horse. For example,
equip the Shadow Rider Saddle which prevents you from being knocked off when on
a horse. Then, try to sit on other General' horse you will also get that
effect.

Hint: New sides:
In order to get new sides on levels
(Shu on Cheng Du, Wu on Jian Ye, Wu on Battle of Fan Castle, Wei side in Tian
Shui gate), you must activate some tales (Imperial Seal, Eliminate Zhang Jiao,
etc.) depending on which character you use. For example, getting Jian Ye for Wu
is very difficult, as you have to activate tales and finish levels in under the
hard difficulty setting.

Hint: New tales:
Do the following to unlock new
"tales" or acts.



To unlock Tong Gate, play on the Shu side. Play the last
level in every act until it appears.



To unlock Tian Shui, play the last level for every act with
Shu until it appears; ; even after Tong Gate tale, continue on.



To unlock Imperial Seal, play with Wu. Play all three levels
in the Yellow Turban act, then play Hu Lao Gate only and kill Lu Bu. It is your
choice to kill Dong Zhuo or not.



To unlock the Battle Of Ru Nan (not the race), play with Shu
finishing Yellow Turban Rebellion first, then Hu Lao Gate, but do not kill Lu
Bu. Also, killing Dong Zhuo is required.



To unlock the Wei Tales- Battle Of Ji Province, in the Wei
Musou Mode with any Wei general, when you get to Act II go to Hu Lao Gate
first. Defeat Lu Bu. You may kill Dong Zhuo if you wish. Then, after Act III
you will go to Wei Tales the Battle of Ji Province.



To unlock the Wu Tales - Battle of Mai Castle, when playing
the Battle Of Chi Bi in the Wu Musou mode with any Wu general, make sure all
the ploys work. After Act V, you will go to the Battle of Mai Castle.



Instead of playing Si Shui gate in Musou mode Shu Act 2,
play Hu Lao gate and the two main officers Hua Shung and Li Jue will appear.
Win the level and you may kill Dong Zhou or let him escape. Either way, you
will unlock a Shu Tales. You will get more experience this way



Complete the levels in order for the Wu Musou mode. When you
get to Hu Lao Gate, do not accept Lu Bu's challenge. Do not kill Lu Bu. Kill
Dong Zhuo, then in the next Act just play the last level. You should unlock Wu
Tales: The Unification Of Jing.



Kill all Generals, Sub-Generals, Soldiers and Gate Captains
and leave Zhang Jiao the only enemy on the map. He will retreat and the next
battle will be Eliminate Zhang Jiao.



Start a Musou with any of the main forces (Wu, Shu, or Wei)
and kill every general including all four of Zhang Jiao's officers. After a few
minutes Zhang Jiao will retreat and the next Act will be a Tales level,
Eliminate Zhang Jiao.

Hint: Alternate

Hint: Poem meanings:
After you have finished Musou mode
with any force, you will receive a little poem which reflects your score during
Musou mode. Each quote is related to how you performed. At the end of the poem,
there is a result. You will get three results.



[Strength of fire] or [Strength of the inferno]
[Mind of lightning] or [Mind of the heavens]
[Speed of the wind] or [Speed of the tempest]

After the results have shown, there
is a conclusion which includes either "Thus, a miracle was born",
"Thus, conquest was achieved", "Thus, order was restored"
or "Thus, the world was changed".



Strength reflects your number of kills either by:
Fire (worst): Less than 200 kills on average
Inferno (best): More than 200 kills on average



Mind refers to the number of points you got either by:
Lightning (worst): Less than 4000 points on average
Heavens (best): More than 4000 points on average



Speed reflects the time it took you to complete a stage
either by:
Wind (worst): More than 20 minutes on average
Tempest (best): Less than 20 minutes on average

For example, if you got Strength of
the inferno, Mind of lightning, and Speed of the tempest, that counts as two
feats and the conclusion will be "Thus, conquest was achieved". This
poem will help you get those endings.

Hint: Edit character
motions:



Sword 1: Zhou Yu
Sword 2: Cao Cao
Sword 3: Liu Bei
Sword 4: Sun Jian
Sword 5: Sun Quan
Sword 6: Dong Zhou
Sword 7: Yuan Shao
Sword 8: Huang Zhong
Sword 9: Gang Ning
Sword 10: Xiahou Yuan
Spear 1: Zhao Yun
Spear 2: Ma Chao
Spear 3: Jang Wei
Pike 1: Zhang Liao
Pike 2: Lu Meng

Hint: Items dropped by
Generals:
If the General's strategy was
tactical or balanced, it should give you defense. If the General's strategy was
offensive or defensive, then it will give you attack. If the General's strategy
was normal, it will most likely give you attack, but may also give you defense.
There are some exceptions to the items at times.

Hint: Gain power-ups
from allies:
Play with one character as Huang Gai
and the second player as the character you want to work on. Make sure you are
playing on an easy level, such as one of the Yellow Turban levels (because
allies are not really needed there). Have the player who is not Haung Gai stay
close to him, as the power-ups eventually fade away, and it also saves time. Go
near an allied General with Huang Gai. Lay two bombs next to him by pressing Triangle(2).
Run away before the bombs hurt you and repeat. The allied General will have 1
HP remaining after you repeat the bombing. Wait for the general to be hit once
by anyone, even peons. The General will die, leaving a power-up. It is not a
good idea to do it to the commander, considering he or she needs to stay alive
or you will lose. This works on any General, friend or not. It also affects
your bodyguards; keep them away from the bombs. Put your bodyguards to hold
position by pressing Select.

Hint: Preventing
bodyguards from killing an officer for you:
To prevent a bodyguard from killing
an officer that you are trying to kill for weapon experience, press Select
until you see the "wait hand" symbol. This will cause the
bodyguard(s) to basically attack the people around you, but not have the
finishing kill for the officer.

Hint: Easy bodyguard
level up:
To level up your bodyguards quickly,
play the Yellow Turban Rebellion level as a strong character (preferably with
at least a level 7 weapon). Use all your bodyguards as soon as you start the
level. Press Select only once. Do not kill many troops. Let your
bodyguards do all the work. When you meet any officers or generals, weaken them
and let your bodyguards finish them off. This will get your bodyguards up at
least one level every time. Collect health when your bodyguards are dying to
heal them. Jhang Jaio may be difficult for them; you may have to do it instead.

Hint: Quick Act
completion:
In Musou Mode, you do not have to
play all three stages in an Act. You just have to win the last one to finish
that Act.

Hint: Horse abilities:
Each special horse has an ability.



Red Hare Saddle: Fastest horse.
Hex Mark Saddle: Raises your luck.
Shadow Rider Saddle: You cannot get knocked off when on horse or any other.
Storm Saddle: Raises your horse attack.
Elephant Saddle: Runs over objects such as towers, crates, and bottles.

Hint: Dragon class
Bodyguards:
You must have your Bodyguards set on
bow from the start until they reach level 10. At level 10, switch them to spear
until they get to level 13. When the guards are on level 13, set them to pike
all the way through. Note: At about level 17, your guards will change to
Phoenix, but when they get to level 20 they will be Dragon class, which gives
them the Blast Orb elemental attack.

Hint: Recommended
characters:
Lu Bu is of course the strongest
character, but others can also be good. Ma Chao has a good mounted attack.
Equip him with Herbal Remedy and Horned Helmet and he will be good. Storm
Saddle is also recommended for higher attack. Also, if on foot, equip him with
an Electric Orb, and do his final charge attack (Square(5), Triangle).
He will hit everyone around him and shock them, doing massive damage. Zhou Tai
also is strong with quick attacks, a strong final charge attack, and a very
powerful Musou attack.

Hint: Always have orb
effect:
Once you have a level 10 weapon, the
orb you equiped to your player will always be in effect, reguardless of how
full you Musou bar is.

Glitch: Multiple Red
Hares:
To get multiple Red Hares, play as
Zang He under Yuan Shou in the Hu Lou Gate level. Defeat the six generals
outside of the main fortress before the ram knocks down the gate. Charge in on
foot and watch Lu Bu appear. While you are fighting him, knock him back and get
on his Red Hare. Note: Stay inside the main castle. Charge him through a few
times on the Red Hare, then go far enough away that he is no longer in your
line of vision. Each time you bring him back into view, he will be on a new Red
Hare. When playing the Battle Of Hu Lao Gate level, after facing Lu Bu, knock
him off his horse then retreat long enough so that Lu Bu is not visable any
more. Then, move forward again. Lu Bu will be sitting on a second Red Hare
horse, and his previous Red Hare will still be avalable. Note: You can repeat
this as many times as desired.

Glitch: Character
off-screen:
At the end of a battle, there is a
victory sequence showing your character doing a simple swing or two. If you
continue to fight even after you defeat the enemy General, every once in awhile
your character will spin slightly, causing them to be completely or partially
off the screen when the camera is done spinning around you.

Glitch:Disapearing
life, Musou bar, and morale:
Get Ma Chao's Weapon at level 7 or
higher so that he can make the final charge attack (Square(5), Triangle).
Equip him with the following items: Way Of Musou,Lightning Orb, and Tiger
Amulet at level 7 or more. Go to a group of soldiers and use your final charge
attack. Thenm quickly hold Circle, Everything will disappear from the
screen. Note there must be at least seventeen soldiers surrounding you and have
a full Musou bar when doing this. Note: It is important that you hit them with
the last Triangle attack.

Glitch: Unlimited
Musou for Sima Yi:
Note: This trick requires two
players. First, make sure player one is using Sima Yi, and player two is using
Zhuge Liang. When player one has his/her Musou bar full, have player two to
stand in front of player one. When you do that, you will see that player one's
Musou bar becomes full again. Note: This is useful if you use Zhuge Liang to
walk in front of Sima Yi and then walk away, in front, away, in front, away,
etc.

Glitch: No arrows:
This trick requires two players.
Start in free mode with any character and stage. When the stage starts, make
both players meet each other. Have one player waste all of his arrows. When
there are no more arrows remaining, keep R1 held. Have the other player
hold R1 also, and look at the side of your other player. The character
will be holding the bow with an arrow in his hand, but will not shoot it.

Glitch: No duel
attack:
During a one on one duel with any
general, if you think you are about to die from battle, run directly into the
fence and pull out your arrow. It seems that the general will not hurt you
while you do this until time runs out.

Glitch: Damage from
taunt:
Play as Lu Bu and do his taunt when
standing a certain distance from enemies. They will actually take damage from
the taunt istelf. You can even kill enemies this way (commanders, generals,
troops). They will all go down if you do it enough times.

Glitch: Nothing hits
you:
When you are near deathm pull out
your bow (R1) and aim into the sky.While holding the bow, hold L1.
This allows you to move around. Eventually the officer will run away from you.
This trick is very useful when you are trying to escape Lu Bu.

Glitch: Walking in
water:
This trick requires two players.
Select the Chang Ban level and have each player choose any desired character.
Once the game starts, play through the level until Liu Bei commands you to
destroy the two bridges near the bottom of the map. Have both players meet,
then choose either bridge one or two. Make player one walk past the bridge
while player two stands on the bridge. After the intermission sequence showing
that your character has destroyed the bridge ends, player two would fall off,
into the river. Once you go out of the river, you cannot go in again. This may
take a few attempts, as your character may warp to the other side of the river.

Glitch: Temporary air
suspension:
This trick requires two players. You
must both have a horse. One player must stand next his horse while the other
player stands pretty far away (while on his horse) to the side of the of the
other player's horse. Next, the player on the horse should run at the other
players' horse. The player next to his own horse must get on it just before the
other player hits the horse. If successful, when the player is getting on his
horse, it should be pushed away by the other player, so that the player will be
floating in mid-air and teleport onto the horse when the process of climbing
onto a horse is over.

Glitch: Lightning
element does not give you the kill:
Whenever you kill an officer or
soldier with the lightning strike dealing the finishing blow, you do not get
the actual kill.

Glitch: Weapon sound:
When attacking with the Xiahou Yuan
weapon (Sword 10 in the Warrior Edit mode), it sounds like a blunt weapon, and
not a sword as it is supposed to be.

Glitch: Yellow Turban
Rebellion level: Air flotation:
Go to Zhang Bao's fortress. You will
notice that there are some broken buildings that all look the same. Go to the
lower right corner to see a different brownish building. Use a high jumping
player (Zhang He recommended) and equip her with Fly Boot. Try to jump on the
southern side of the building where there is no wall. You will land in mid-air.

Glitch: Yellow Turban
Rebellion level: Dead character retreats:
On the Yellow Turban Rebellion
stage, after you kill Zhang Jiao if you have killed every other officer on the
map, including sub-officers, and enough time has passed after the cinematic
when Zhang Jiao falls to the ground, a guard will tell Zhang Jiao to retreat.
The "Zhang Jiao is retreating" message will appear, even though he is
dead.

Glitch: Both players
as Xiahou Dun:
This trick requires two players.
Choose Guan Du then select Yuan Shao's Force. When prompted to pick your
characters, have player one choose Zhou Yun and the second player to select
Xiahou Dun. When the game starts, both players will be Xiahou Dun. Note: This
may cause the game to malfunction. This may include player one's character
screen not following that character or player two's screen not having any
enemies.



Glitch: Both players as Zhou Yun:
Same as above but player one chooses
Xiahou Dun and player 2 chooses Zhou Yun.
