Make sure your health is towards full before facingSun San Xiang; she will have Zhou Tai nearby and lots of soldiers.Taici Ci will also pursue you when facing Sun Quan. If "Themain camp is under attack" message appears, forget the general-killingspree. Instead, help Liu Bei get secured. There are lots of 10second Musous and Life Recovers in boxes near Liu Bei -- do notworry about your vitality bar. If you do not kill the soldiersfast 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 openthe gate. To finish the stage quickly, equip Red-Hare, or if youdo not have any saddles, knock a general of his or hers. Note:Under the hard difficulty setting, status items will still bethe 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 levelon that difficulty, then get someone to be a character who isalready powered up (level 10 weapon recommended) and have thatperson help you.

Play the Yellow Turban Rebellion level under the hard difficultysetting. Defeat all enemy sub-officers and officers, but do notdefeat any Gate Captians or Zhang Jaio will retreat to preventthis. Do not defeat Zhang Liang; they will have more morale, andit is impossible for allies to get to Zhang Liang. You can nowdefeat all Gate Captains. The best order is: He Yi, Yan Zhang,Gao Shing, Deng Mao, Cheng Yuanzhi, Pei Yuan Shou, Guan Hai, ZhangMan Chang, Zhang Bao, Zhou Cang, Han Xian, Bo Zhang, Zhang Liang(optional), Lui Pi, Huang Shao, and Zhang Jiao. If you are onthe Wei side, you can defeat Deng Mao, Gao Sheng, Cheng Yuanzhi,He Yi, Yan Zheng, etc. Also, you should get Life +10 by killingLui Pi and going straight up. There should be two pots and onebox. Break the pot on the very right. If you are running low onhealth, break the middle pot and Musou +10 by going to Zhang Liangafter killing Han Xian. Charge to Zhang Liang and once you cannotgo any further, take a right. There should be three pots. Breakthe one that kind of pops out. If you are once again running lowon health, break the right pot by the end. You should have a good3,500 experience points, but this is mainly for weaker characters.If you have about a level 7 weapon, just go to the Battle Of JainYi level and defeat every officer and sub-officer. Defeat allSun Jian's images to get a good 10,000 experience points.

You will get about 1024 experience for defeatinga famous officer and about 500 experience for a lower officer.You will also get an extra 40 experience for Charge hits or othercombos ending in a charge attack on famous officers. Rememberthat your weapons change at level 3 and level 7. It would helpto have a level 15 Tiger Amulet, a level 20 Tortoise Amulet, anda level 15 Peacock Urn. Even if you get knocked around, you willlose less damage if you did this stage without a Tortoise Amuletat 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 HuLao Gate level(on Dong Zhuo's side). Clear the stage of everyofficer. When you get to Yuan Shao, do not use regular attackson him. Instead, get a horse and keep riding by, continuouslyhitting him with the Y move. Every time you hit him, youshould get 32 weapons experience under the normal difficulty setting.
Hint: Easy level 10 weapons:
Play in two player mode. Use a low trained characterwho has a ninth weapon for player one and another trained characterwith at least a ninth weapon for player two. If you were supposedto defeat an enemy general, let player two weaken him. Then letplayer one defeat the enemy general.
Hint: Fourth weapons:
If your trying to get a fourth weapon and it is notworking, make sure your weapon is at level 9. If it still doesnot work, then try it in Musou mode.
I you get three stats for any character completely maxed out,he or she will gain their fourth weapon. Obviously, you must accomplishthis with your third weapon already gained.
Hint: Easy weapon levels:
For easy second weapons or level 4 weapons, play TheYellow Turban Menace a few times. If you want to get your rankfaster, also keep playing the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Hint: Weapons:
For a second weapon, get your weapon to level 4. Fora third weapon, get your weapon to level 7.
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 cometowards you. This gives you enough time to use your bow. To dothis easier, shoot the bow, release the button, hold it again,and shoot. Repeat this until he or she is dead. Note: This willnot work for all generals, especially Lu Bu.
While in Musou mode during a duel, if you are losing, run up asclose to the wall as possible. Press R to aim with a bowand arrow. The general you are dueling will not attack, and youcan survive to fight him on the battlefield.
When you are losing a duel, go to the side of the dueling fencesand hold R to switch to bow mode. While in bow mode, lookoutside the fence. Note: You must to be touching the fence andbe looking outside for this to work.
Hint: Easy kills:
Unlock Ma Chao and the Shadow Rider saddle (to avoidgetting knocked off). Then, ride into a crowd of enemies and useyour 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 aroundyou. Using this, it is possible to get 1000 or more kills easilyin a stage.
When fighting with a lot of enemies around you, sometimes thegame slows down. If you enter the power struggle thing (whereyou attack repeatedly) while the game is slowing down, you willwin easier because everything else is slow while you are at normalspeed.
Hint: Sniper bow:
When aiming at someone far away, hold R fora few seconds without touching anything else. You will zoom inon the target, making it easier to select who you want to hitwith an arrow.
Hint: Flaming geysers:
The geysers will stop burning or shooting up in theair just before they explode.
Hint: Dim Sums and Musou Wines:
This can only be done in Musou mode. Choose the WuKingdom and play until you reach "The Little Conqueror"tale. Choose Campaign for Wu Territory first and take the supplydepot. Then, choose Unification of Jiang Dong. The Dim Sum islocated on the top fort, to the left of the bottom entrance. Thenext one is located inside the bottom fort, to the left of thecenter building. The two Musou Wines are located inside the Elftfort, in the smaller center fort, at the bottom left corner, nextto a guard watch tower. The other one is on the top fort, to theright of the bottom entrance.
Hint: Defense from Gate Captains:
Go to a difficult level and let your Gate Captain getkilled. A Defense +1 will appear.
Hint: Flip up after being knocked downor off a horse:
After being knocked down or off a horse, quickly pressL to flip up and get ready to attack or guard. This alsoworks well when fighting in duels.
Hint: Attack Range:
The Attack Range determines how long the sword is ("Reach",according to Dynasty Warriors 3). The Wind Scroll itemincreases it. The characters with the most Attack Range are LuBu and Cao Cao. The ones with the least is Sun Ce and Nu Wa (editfemale 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 SevenStar Sash and the Hex Hare Saddle. For example, in Battle Of JianYe level, the elite guard next to Huang Gai gives you Life Recovery+100, but if you a Hex Hare equipped it should give All RecoveryFull.
Hint: Raising morale:
To raise your army's morale, you must defeat a groupof 50 soldiers. Every 50 soldiers defeated, one of your generalswill make a comment such as "I bow to your skills","We will all follow your example", etc. This will raiseyour army's morale. Defeating 1000 soldiers will raise every generalto eight stars.
Hint: Horse ability:
Before you start a battle, equip any harness. Duringthe, battle you will get the ability in any horse. For example,equip the Shadow Rider Saddle which prevents you from being knockedoff when on a horse. Then, try to sit on other General' horseyou 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 Shuigate), you must activate some tales (Imperial Seal, EliminateZhang Jiao, etc.) depending on which character you use. For example,getting Jian Ye for Wu is very difficult, as you have to activatetales and finish levels in under the hard difficulty setting.
