These tidbits will help you play with greater skill at higher difficulties, get fourth weapons faster, and build up characters more efficiently. Archers are not your friend. Wherever you go try to kill archers first. Not only do they do good damage but they will also prevent you from guarding against officers and will often times get you hit several more times in addition to the original arrow. Make it a priority to hunt them down and kill them whenever you see them. Sub-generals and their powerups. If you need to build up your character keep an eye on the generals list while in combat. If you see an opposing officer check the list to see if he has any subordinates. If he does, kill them first to get their bonuses. If you kill the commander first the subordinate generals will retreat and you will not get their attack or defense bonus. Fighting from your horse. It is a very good idea to learn how to fight from your horse. You can hold down the L1 button while holding still to block. You can hold down the L1 button while moving to prevent your horse from galloping and to keep it facing one direction (this lets you fight solders and officers below much easier). If you move in circles while holding down L1 you can almost always dodge the solders that jump up to attack you. If you sway your horse back and forth with your attacks you can get combos on people behind you. Before long you will get so good at fighting from the horse that you can swat your attackers out of the sky without really thinking about it. All that said you are now better prepared to fight a powerful enemy general like Cao Cao or Lu Bu much easier with any officer that is well equipped to fight from a horse. The general I am fighting is way too powerful, what to do? Officers like Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei can be very powerful and if you are not careful they can cut an underdeveloped character down in no time at all. In Dynasty Warriors 3 an officer's power has a lot to do with his morale. It is easy to drop an officer's moral by destroying soldiers in his/her army. When an officer is too powerful for you to face find a spot full of their soldiers and start killing them. As you are killing them you will get messages telling you that the officer's morale is dropping. When their morale is very low or when you have run out of soldiers to kill go back and fight them again. They will be much easier to hurt, they will block less, and they will do less damage. If you do not have the time to do this the best thing to do is save the game and then attack. If it does not work out quit and reset the game. If officers defeat you regularly you should take your general into free mode to build them up. The battle is hopeless and you will loose soon, what to do? This will happen to weaker characters on levels like Chi Bi and Wu Zhang Plains and to everyone on harder difficulties at some point or another. If the battle is going so poorly that you know your commander will soon be defeated and the enemy officers are too powerful to fight because of their morale there is only one thing you can do. You must attack the enemy commander. You won't be able to defeat them hand-to-hand, but there is a way. Get a horse if you can (you can usually get one by waiting for a horse general or soldier to run past you followed by an arrow shot to get them off the horse and on the ground) and start running/galloping as fast as you can toward the enemy commander. Break all boxes found on the way in an attempt to get as many arrows as possible. When you reach him find a spot outside of his charge range (he will just stand there on the map waiting for you to get close) but within your arrow shot view. Fight and defeat the soldiers right next to you and as soon as you have an opening start shooting at the commander. If you stay far enough away he will just take your hits (along with his bodyguards every once and a while) and will be defeated before long. If soldiers reappear to attack you (they will) try not to worry about them, just keep shooting (even if they are chopping on your back). If you turn to fight them the enemy general will usually get back on his horse. That means the next arrow you shoot might make them heal. If the soldiers are doing too much damage and you know they will kill you first stop and attack them. You must always stop to fight them if they get in front of you. If you run out of arrows before they enemy commander is dead run in and attack using the 3-hit technique detailed above (what do you have to loose?). If you do this correctly you should be able to pull the battle from the jaws of defeat more often than not. Get better weapons and armor from generals and gate captains. All gate captains drop Defense +1 shields and officers may drop anything from Def +1 / Att +1 to Def +8 / Att +8. If you hit an officer or gate captain with a large combo you can increase the power of the item they drop (with a maximum of the normal value multiplied by two). 8 hits = +2, 16 hits = +4, 24 hits = +8. You must also make sure this combo is the death blow, it will not count if they survive the attack. For example, if an officer drops a +2 normally and you hit him with an 8 hit combo you will not increase his drop, but if you hit him with a 16 hit combo he will drop a +4 (but you will not be able to increase it to a +8). Doing this is vital if you want to complete the game with characters on your first run through Musou on normal or hard if you have not yet built them up. 2-Player Lightning Musou. When you are playing with a friend, and you are next to each other with fully charged musou gauges, you may notice that your hands glow blue. If you both use your Musou attacks at the same time you will get a special lightning musou that is much more devastating (and more visually impressive) than the normal true musou. Some character combinations like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi can actually recharge their musou gauges while performing this musou attack (significantly extending its length). Item Save/Reload Trick. (Contributed by: musszilla) Can be done on any stage. This trick helps you get better Items and Weapons. For better Items play the stage You Ting on Wu side on Hard Difficulty. Playing You Ting on Wu side give you the chance to get six items. Kill the following Generals Xu Zhu, Xu Huang, Zhen Ji, Zhang Pu and Zhou Fang. The following people should still be alive Sima Yi (leader), Zhang He, Hu Zhi (item), Cao Xiu (item) and Man Chong (item). Go up and close the three gates by Sima Yi. Walk back down the path till you are just North of the fort. Save and Quit the level. Continue the level. Go and kill Zhang He, Hu Zhi, Cao Xiu and Man Chong (Make sure to kill the sub generals first). Then go break the three crates to get the items (Click here for a map of You Ting). Kill Sima Yi to finish the level. If you like the Items you get then save the game normally. If you do not like what you get then press Start and Select (at the same time) to do a soft reset. Select Continue and repeat the process over until you get Items you are looking for. If you do not get good Items after several tries Restart the level from the beginning. Getting First Second and Third weapons FAQ. (Contributed by: musszilla) There is one stage that I know of that is kind of easy to get all of these. I got every bodies second and third weapon using this trick. Use the two player trick (as told in getting easier fourth weapons). Play Tong Gate Cao Cao's side on easy for first weapons, Normal for second weapons, and Hard for third weapons. Put player one as the weak person who's weapon you want to get and a strong (maxed out) player as player two. (90% of the time you will get the weapon you are looking for but on that rare occasion you will get a different weapon, one time on hard I got a first weapon, and on Normal I got a third weapon). Here is how I did it. Take player one and go over to the crate by Tong Gate (I do not suggest running straight at Tong Gate on Normal of Hard difficulty, but instead walk around behind Cao Cao and then go straight up to the box, You should be about even with the one gate on the side) Break the box to get the weapon. The go and get the item (Over by your gate) if you like (I got a +59 Max Musou and +59 HP Max from that box on Hard). Then continue up to the top right corner for the Fairy Wine. You can then go over to the Top left corner for the Dim Sum. Leave player one in either the top Right or top Left corner of the map they will be safe there. Then go with player two and kill Ma Chao. If you would like Han Sui drops an Item. Click here for a Map of Tong Gate. An easier way to get fourth weapons. Once you have maxed out a good officer and gotten him his fourth weapon you can get most other character's fourth weapons with much less diffi- culty. I advise Lu Bu or Zhang He, but there are many other good choices. Start the proper level with the weapon requirement and make the player who will receive the weapon first player. Make your maxed general the second player. Move your first officer (who we will assume is weak) to a safe spot if possible and fulfill all requirements with the second officer. The second officer can kill the required generals and trigger most events without the help of the first officer. When the item appears, get it with the second player and beat the stage. There are weapons that this will not work well with, details can be found in each weapon's instructions. To get what in Japan is called the "rare ending". (Contributed by: Xiao Qiao) According to one of the Japanese official manuals, you need to first beat the game with each kingdom's "dead-portrait characters" featured right before the actual credits. So, for Wu, it's Sun Ce, TaiShiCi, Sun Jian, and Zhou Yu; for Shu: Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Pang Tong; & for Wei: Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao, and Dian Wei. After you beat one kingdom's "dead-portrait characters", run another Musou game with any of that kingdom's characters AND beat their last stage under fifteen minutes. This will make the diff- erence between the regular preset ending and the "rare ending." For instance, if you beat the game with the four required generals of Wu and then start another game with Xiao Qiao, complete the Nanman stage in fifteen minutes or less. Then, instead of Zhou yu's solo performance, she gets Zhou Yu and Lu Xun doing the Qiao sisters' dance. Also, several scenes in her ending will have random character changes every time you view it. Additionally, the scene where she's cheering Huang Gai's flexing routine is replaced by her winning a game of Mahjong against Da Qiao and two random Wu characters. Another aspect of the endings is that just beating the game with one character can affect another character's ending. For example, after you beat the game with Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao's ending switches from Lu Xun dancing with the two Wu female bodyguards to Zhou Yu's solo dance. New scenes also seem to unlock in this way. If you've got spare time or the interest, try it! It's kind of fun to see the rare endings, like Da Qiao doing the spear kata, or Zhang Fei dancing with Guan Yu and Liu Bei as his back-up dancers. SECTION IV - GUIDE FAQ ---------------------------------------- Here is a list of frequently asked questions for this FAQ. Please review it and our Site FAQ (http://www.kongming.net/faq.html) before sending me any email, you question might already be answered on that site. An officer appears on the map, but not on the stage itself. This is a glitch in the game that you may encounter a few times while playing. More often than not it will happen with Diao Chan on the Hu Lao Gate. To make the officer appear kill soldiers in the area until they appear again on the map. There will almost always work. How do I unlock Lu Bu? The requirements are exactly the same as stated in the character unlocking guide in this FAQ. All you need to do is beat Hu Lao Gate with 1000 or more kills. There is nothing special to it. This can be done on any difficulty level and in free mode or Musou. How many kills can you get on a single level? In theory the answer is 9,999. Many people claim to have pulled it off and a few have posted strategies for it. I have, personally, gotten over 4,000 kills without spending the whole time hunting down soldiers, so I would be inclined to at least believe in the possibility. Most people lie about it though. What is the maximum number of hits in a combo? 255. Nearly all officers can juggle a soldier indefinitely by using the SSSST combo over and over again, but the counter resets after kill #255. I defeated an officer but his item will not fully appear. This is another glitch that you may run into a few times here and there in the game. You will defeat an officer and his body will not vanish. It will only blink in and out of existence. This will also sometimes happen with the item after the body disappears. The solution is simple: just kill some soldiers in the area (while keeping the item on screen) and after a little bit the body will vanish and the item will be available. Who are Shu's Tiger Generals? Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. In the novel the 'Tiger General' title was unique to Shu and was only given to these five officers. Historically this position was created long after most of them were dead (257AD) by Liu Shan (Liu Bei's son and successor) and originally named Pang Tong instead of Zhao Yun. Liu Shan later changed it to include Zhao Yun (258AD). Historically, they were ranked in this order: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun. How did the five Tiger Generals die? Guan Yu: executed by Lu Meng after being defeated at Fan Castle (AD 219). Zhang Fei: assassinated by his subordinates Fan Jiang and Zhang Da after drinking himself to sleep. He had beaten them because they questioned a time limit set for the army's mourning garb (to be worn while attacking Wu for killing Guan Yu (AD 221). Huang Zhong: shot with an arrow by Ma Zhong, died shortly after. Historically Huang Zhong did not live as long as he did in the novel (AD 222). Ma Chao: dies due to an illness (AD 225). Zhao Yun: dies due to natural causes (AD 229). Is DW based off true history? What about the RTK novel? Dynasty Warriors 3 is based off the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong. The novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms is based off actual Chinese history (the Annals of the Three Kingdoms), but has, in many places, been embellished for the sake of storytelling. For the most part, however, it hold very true to the actual events of the Later Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms Era. I suggest a Moss Roberts translation if you are interested in the book. The novel is available online at threekingdoms.com or you may click here to see our book recommendations. Extensive information about the novel is available on the Novel and History page of my site, Kongming's Archives (http://www.kongming.net/novel/) What are the maximum values for items? HP Max (Peacock Urn) 1-60 | Musou Max (Dragon Amulet) 1-60 Attack (Tiger Amulet) 1-20 | Defense (Tortoise Amulet) 1-40 Bow Att. (Huang's Bow) 1-40 | Bow Def. (Shell Armor) 1-40 Mounted Att. (Horned Helm) 1-40 | Mounted Def. (Cavalry Armor) 1-40 Speed (Speed Scroll) 1-16 | Jump (Wing Boots) 1-16 Luck (Seven Star Orb) 1-20 | Reach (Wind Scroll) 1-20 Musou Charge (Elixir) 1-20 My attack is very high, but when I hit people I don't do much/any damage. If you are going to use a Gameshark you should never increase the power of an item beyond what can appear in the game itself. Dynasty Warriors 3 is not programmed to handle Tiger Amulets with very high values. If your total attack goes over 255 it will reset down to 1 and start over. That is why you are not hurting anyone. When getting a fourth weapon can I do it with two players? Yes, you can. Not only can the player who will receive the weapon be player one or two, but the other player cal also fulfill their requirements. Say, for example, you want to get Sun Jian's weapon. You can play in free mode, make Lu Bu first player and Sun Jian second player, and leave Sun Jian where he starts while Lu Bu kills Lu Gong and gets Sun Jian's sword. There are exceptions in a few occasions, but they will always be detailed in the requirements. This is a great way to get weapons for characters that have not yet been maxed out. Put them in a safe place and have your second player officer do all the work. (See the Weapons FAQ as well) How far in the game are you? I have beaten the game with every character, I have every fourth weapon, all unique items, most of my normal items are maxed out, one fourth of my officers are maxed out, and I still play the game from time to time. The most kills I have ever had in a stage are 4,294 on Chang Ban (hard) with Zhao Yun. I do not play endurance or time trial. Please do not ask any more questions of this nature, I do not have the time to answer them.:) Your codes don't work! You have a PAL PS2, right? Sorry, you are out of luck. No codes for you. Not my fault, Koei decided not to release them (if there even are any). Please help me more with something in the game? It depends, I don't always have time. If the FAQ and the GameFAQs members don't help, please register at the-scholars.com and post your question in the Dynasty Warriors forum. If a member doesn't answer your question I will. This saves me some time. Can you tell me more about the historical officers? Sure: http://www.kongming.net/novel/bios/ How come this FAQ doesn't have a links section?
