Remember to ignore any unneccesary foes andtiming is key!

Available characters: - Dian Wei - Cao Ren - Xu Zhu *

====================Playing as everyone:====================

So the first thing you are specifically told to do



when you start the battle is to “Defeat Tao Qian’s Forces that are in the area”. Two enemy officers arehighlighted on the middle path next to the starting area. The first is Chen Gui. Kill some enemies and then you’ll notice Chen Gui and the next officer highlighted,Que Xuan, will start to retreat. Dian Wei will have the Wei forces to pursue them, so callyour horse because all three charactersusable are really slow.

When you reach the middle of the path,an ambush will appear. Weirdly enough,the ambush consists of stone dragon headsunleashing boulders at you. Cao Cao’s forces will stop advancing.A few moments later, Guo Jia notices that you can use the enemy’s catapults against them. He asks you to take the catapults, so do it.

Call your horse and advance down the path towards thenewly highlighted officer, Mi Fang. He’s literally at the bottom and the path so hurry just because your main campis taking damage. Also, don’t attack the enemy soldiers on your joy ride, deal with them later. After you defeat Mi Fang, Guo Jia will order you to take them to higher ground.So jump into one, and take the north path from the area where you defeated Mi Fang. That’s a 90 degree angle, or close to it. Advance to thehighlighted area with it. At the cliff, aim at the dragon heads and push circle to throw a boulder at the heads anddestroy them. Each head takes one boulder to do the trick so it shouldn’t take long.

The enemy will withdraw after you destroy them, and this triggers the southerngate at the absolute end of the path towards the bottom right corner of the mapto open up. Advance to it upon your steed.Whilst you do that, take some timeto defeat the officers on the path and increase your army’s morale.

When you advance ahead of the southern gate, Guo Jia will gain suspicion ofthe forest ahead. He’ll ask you scout ahead, so do it. Remember, the black pathson the side of the white path is the forest, and at the top of the black paths are the highlighted areas in which you scout. The closest path will initiate and ambushat the highlighted areas. Defeat the ambush troops and claim the base. After you claimone base, you don’t have to claim the other. The pincer attack Tao Qian was planningended once you’ve done that. Congrats! The Xu Province Castle South Gates will open.

Once you enter the castle, Lu You will get angry and attack, along with the rest of the soldiers. Piece of cake, so defeat them. Specifically Lu You and Cao Bao. Not long during your brawl, Liu Bei’s forces will arrive. Cao Cao says he has no choice but to defeat Liu Bei as well. Immediately after he says that, the victory conditions will change to “Defeat Liu Bei".



Tao Qian will set Xu Province Castle on fire and you’ll take some damage. Hurry and get out.Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun will start to charge Cao Cao’s main camp.Go to the West Gate of the castle and defeat Ze Rong to open the gates. Intercept Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and defeat them.Sun Guan may also appear around that area so you may need to kick his butt too.In certain circumstances, you may want to go tothe main camp and clear itof enemy soldiers too, just to be safe.

When done, charge up the path towards Liu Bei who is positioned in the top left cornerof the map. He is highlighted. Not far into the path, Mi Zhu will greet you.Greet him with death.

Not far after, you’ll enter a base. Kill the Base Captain, claim the base. Well, you’llactually have to because the garrison gates will close and Chen Deng will ambush you. Defeat him. Kong Rong will also join the ambush.He must be defeated as well, but the gates openafter Chen Deng is defeated so it’s your choice. Zang Ba will greet you soon after if you take his routeDefeat him.When you reach Liu Bei, Guan Yu will also appear with him. Defeat them both, or defeat just Liu Bei. Your choice. Once you defeat Liu Bei, the stage is won.

When the battle starts, follow thearmy across the central bridge and defeatHao Meng.

The Northern Garrison gateswill open as a message will appearinforming you of just that. Aboutthe same time, you'll get a messagethat says the scouts have reportedthat Lu Bu's reinforcements havearrived to the battlefield, whichjust happens to be at the checkpointon top of the one way cliff at theother side of the central bridge. Thisalso happens to be the one you justcrossed and defeated Hao Meng on.

Advance onto the wooden plank deckthat the other two officers areadvancing across and push into theenemy lines. You'll come acrossCao Xing somewhere withinthat general area. When you defeathim, he'll shout on about howhe'll have his revenge and what not.



Head to the south side of Puyangwhere Zhang Liao will be guardingthe closed gates. He'll rally so he's harder to beat.Defeating him will open the "Juan" gates and you'll be able to rendezvous with Xun Yu.

Enter the castle and then a cutscenewill trigger. During this cutscene,Xiahou Dun will get struck in the eyeby Cao Xing and he'll start boastingand what not. He gets shot down by XiahouYuan and you know the story, haha.

When the cutscene ends, Lu Bu's mainunit arrives on the opposite side ofthe battlefield, and yes, Puyang Castleis now in their hands. Head towardsPuyang Castle to complete the newlychanged victory conditions! (Defeat LuBu)

When you approach the central bridgewhere you started the battle, the gateswill be closed and the bridge will bedestroyed. An ambush party will attackled by Cheng Lian. Defeat him. The gateswill reopen and Cao Cao's forces willstate the obvious on how the bridge can'tbe crossed. However, a bridge on the southside of the battlefield can be crossed. Thereis a path you can take towards it so use it.

Song Xian will greet you not far into the pathwith a little ambush. Piece of cake, right?

At the same time, Zhang Miao will arrive at thenorthern side of the battlefield and he'll sealoff the Puyang Castle Outworks. Since thesouthern bridge leads to a sealed off entrance,you'll have to use the newly discovered pathat the very bottom of the battlefield. Killthe gatekeeper to enter the path.

Head over to Hou Cheng who'll be highlightedand defeat him. Defeating him opens theOutworks and the Castle Eastern ChamberEast Gates.

After that, Cao Cao and the main unitwill arrive in your support. Head overand defeat Zang Ba. The Chamber WestGates will open following Zang Ba'sdefeat. The defeat conditions willchange so that Cao Cao'sthe one who cannot be defeated ifyou are to win. But no bother.

Head over to Zhang Xun and get rid of him to seal off the second byroad. Ignore the small troops and hurry to Yuan Huan and defeat him to secure the last byroad! Defeat Yan Xiang and Yuan Shu!

Special conditions:

1) Rescuing Cao Ang and Cao Anmin willaffect the Battle of Chibi

- This WILL affect unlocking the hypothetical / "what if" stages.

- You can do this with all characters.

When Cao Ang and Cao Anmin are announced"in trouble", ignore EVERYTHING andquickly haul to their location tosave them. This will end upnot unlocking the Battle of Xiapibut the hypothetical branchout (Chibi)needs them saved to be unlocked.

2) Failing to rescue Cao Ang andCao Anmin will enable the stage'Battle of Xiapi' to be unlocked.





As per above. Only you fail.

3) Helping Dian Wei to survive willenable him to appear in Guandu andChibi.

- This won't affect unlocking the hypothetical / "what if" stages.

- You can do this with Cao Cao only? (You might be able to do this with Dian Wei)

- Completing this condition will make Dian Wei a playable character in the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi.

The way I did it was playing as Dian Wei, saving Cao Anmin and Cao Ang,and finishing the battle as fast as I could. Cao Anmin and Cao Angsay that they'll fight by the hurt Dian Wei and I believe thatcompletes the condition right there.

Available characters: - Cao Cao - Dian Wei

===================Playing as Cao Cao:===================

When you start the stage, of course, Wan Castle is engulfed in flames.Damage will occur to your life, like always. Advance south and you’ll confront Huche’er.Defeat him. Take the northern route with Dian Wei as told. Although,when you take the turn at the first corner, you’ll have to dealwith arbalests. After the next turn, two more arbalests. Destroy them as well. Always keep in mind to grab dim sums for health whenever you get a chance. Remember the fire’s damage it inflicted? Yeah, not cool.When you turn the next corner, siege weapons will be activated. Destroy them, they’re easy breaks. Notice that Han Xian will be in the area.He’s an easy kill but it doesn’t stop the siege weapons.Destroy all of the weapons to open the gate.

The next area will be an ambush. Defeat all the “Unit Commander” enemies to reopen the gates. When done, you’ll be informed you have to save Cao Cao’s sons, Cao Anmin and Cao Ang.Saving them will complete a condition.The next room is full of ballistas. Defeat the one controlling them to stop the ballistas. Or destroy the ballistas, your choice. Oh and remember Cao Anmin and Cao Ang? They die like right when you meet up with the ballistas so either save them or, what mostpeople do, end up having to play the Battle of Xiapi.

But if you really want to save them,charge hard towards the castle gates by defeating onlythe enemies you "have"-"have" to and then proceed to them bytaking a couple corners when you reach the castle gates.No other gates near Cao Ang and Cao Anmin are closed.

Defeat Yang Feng and the gate will open. The next room is a little game where you have to avoid falling off into the water when the fansblow you away. Navigate your way to theUnit Commander at the end of the room near the gateand kill him.The gate will open. Jump down into the next room and defeat Zhang Xian to openthe castle gates and exit the castle to trigger a cutscene.



Now Guo Jia and Xiahou Dun join your side of the battle. Defeat Zuo Ling and Yang Ding.Lei Xu may also wander over to you so he needs to be defeated too. Li Yue may wander over too, he also needs to go bye bye.

When you clear the outsides of Wan of enemy officers, head over to the southwest corner of the map and search the vicinity of Wan Castle like Guo Jia says. Scouts will be spotted when you enter one of the three garrisons. Defeat them. Capture the last two garrisons quickly before Liu Biao’s reinforcements arrive. When successful, lead Liu Biao’s forces into the garrisons for your own ambush when they arrive. Wan Castle shall have its western gates opened so now is your opportunityto go and strike Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu. Since Zhang Xiu’s the one advancing, he’ll be your first target. Take him down and advance to Jia Xu. During your advance towards Jia Xu, an ambush or two will happen, do what you normally do and destroy their attempts at a good ambush. When Jia Xu is done for, the battle is won.

====================Playing as Dian Wei:====================

Basically the same as Cao Cao, only you have to protect him.

Available characters: - Jia Xu * - Xiahou Dun - Guo Jia *

====================Playing as Jia Xu:====================

Take the path you start on and advanceuntil you reach a closed gate and a gatekeeper.Beat him to open the South Garrison WestGates. Quickly defeat Hou Cheng and openexit gate because a messenger willdiscover you and head off to warn the enemyforces of your plot. Charge him, whichwould preferably use horseback to achieveeasily and lessen the difficulty of the battlefor you.

When you reach the southeast corner of the mapand hopefully the messenger was slain, you needto advance north.

Follow that path and you'll end up enteringa garrison that an enemy officer known asYin Li is in. Defeat him. One completed,continue on north.

You'll soon reach Zhang Hu at the northeastcorner of the map. Defeat him. Circle aroundthe north path to your left and defeat thegatekeeper guarding the floodgates.Enter the floodgates. Zhang Liao will beguarding the floodgates. Defeat him.When Zhang Liao is defeated, he'll becaptured by Cao Cao's forces. On thefloodgates' east wall will be a gizmowith a yellow ring around it. Approach itand attack it. One hit should do the trick.

The floodgates will open and the castlewill be flooded. The flood attack willcause the bulk of the Lu Bu forces



surrounding Xiapi Castle to withdraw.

Head down the path south of the floodgatesand you'll reach a garrison. Defeatthe gatekeeper to open the garrison gate.On your right is a staircase. Head down itand approach Xiapi Castle. You'll probablyrun into Gao Shun. Defeat him. All the XiapiCastle Outward Gates should be open. Sadly,most of the time, Guo Jia won't be closeto done with the advance from the west.

So you'll only get help from the middle.Head through the west gate and you'llreach a gatekeeper. Defeat him, open the gate.Now quickly defeat Wei Xu and open the othergate, cause you're gonna need to gun down amessenger being dispatched by Chen Gongattempted to request Yuan Shu's reinforcements.Using horseback is recommended.

After you defeat him, head over to Chen Gongand defeat him to open the gates. Now youneed to deal with Lu Bu. Luckily, he isn'tHulao Gate difficulty.

When Lu Bu's defeated, you'll win thebattle.

=======================Playing as Xiahou Dun:=======================

First things first, capture the SouthernGarrison so you can lower the drawbridgeand proceed to move the catapults. Theenemy officer inside the SouthernGarrison will be Song Xian. Defeat him.

Head over to the eastern drawbridge anddefeat the gatekeeper to lower it.

Head over the central garrisonfrom the east side and defeat thegatekeeper to open the central easterngarrison gate. Defeat Cao Xing to openthe last gate and cross the bridge.

Zang Ba will start to fire the ballistashe has and the central western garrisongates will close, or at least the northone. Defeat Xu Si to reopen it.

Take the north gate exit and circlearound that little cliff. You'll reacha gatekeeper. Defeat him and enter the base.Defeat the enemies in the base and you'llend up reopening the gates for that garrison.Take the one on the west and circle aroundthe south path and defeat the Unit Commanderto lower the western draw bridge.Enter the Westerh Garrisonand defeat Zang Ba.

Once the formationmoves again, you could go one of two ways.The first being head straight to Cao Ren andsave him. Two, being, head over to Xu Shu andbeat him, and then go save Cao Ren. This waycompletes a condition.



Saving Cao Ren can be completed by defeatingboth Zhao Yun and the son of the God of War, GuanPing. Once you save Cao Ren, Guan Yu and Zhang Feiwill decide to attack with brute force.Even though Jia Xu wants the army to split upto defeat the two brothers, it is easier tojust charge at them both because it really isn'thard to beat them here.

When they're defeated you can now easilyadvance towards Liu Bei. Defeat him, win the battle.

==========================Playing as everyone:==========================

Proceed forward into the area where yourarmy's ballistaes are operating. DefeatWu Yi, Cheng Shi, Ma Liang, and Meng Dato clear out that area from Liu Bei'sinvading forces.

Soon enough, Zhang Bao will startadvancing towards the position soyou still need to be on the defensiveedge. He'll appear from the east sideof the area. Gao Xiang will also advance,appearing to the south of the area.

Ma Dai, too, will also join in on the advance.However, he'll have siege ramps placed tothe east south of their vanguard's position.He'll use the east mountain path to circle aroundand attack from behind. Open your gates, advancearound the rear path eastward and defeat Ma Dai.

- This can be done with all characters.

Available characters: - Xiahou Dun - Xu Huang - Cao Pi - Xiahou Yuan (If conditionduring the Battle of Mt. Dingjun is completed.)


Just an FYI, even on Normal,this battle can prove to bereally freaking hard. So be ready.

When the battle starts, pick a horse. Any horse.

Fu Fang, Yu Jin, and Hu Xiu are plotting todefect because your forces are losing at thestart of the battle. You can prevent this,however. Advance towards thecastle a few paces and defeat Ma Liang.

Now advance towards the castle some more anddefeat Jian Yong. Hu Xiu should be good now.

Now head a little to the west and defeat Meng Da(who should be Cao Cao's forces at this time historicallybut whatever) in order to prevent Fu Fang from defecting.

Head to the west a bit more and enter the garrison.Defeat Liu Xian to prevent Yu Jin from defecting.Defeat the gatekeeper to exit the garrison (those swineslocking us in!) and proceed with your next task.

You'll notice a report that Guan Yu is havinghis army use catapults to attack Fan Castle.This isn't good, and the castle will fallquickly if you do not rush to its aid.

Hurry into Fan Castle and protect Cao Renby defeating Mi Zhu and Liu Du.

Once completed, Lu Meng and his armyof Sun Quan reinforcements will arrivein your aid to the absolute southeastcorner of the map. The only bad thing aboutit now is that Lu Meng can't be defeated either.

Head out the south gates of the castle and defeatthe enemy forces surrounding the vicinity.

Lu Meng will order his forces to halt basicallyright after he arrives. This is because Zhou Cangwill start using ballistae attacks from the cliffto the north of their arrival point. Advance south



from the east and defeat Zhou Cang to thrwart theattack and allow their forces to resume their march.

Their forces will be trapped inside the southeasterngarrison almost immediately after their marchresumes (facepalm) and Wei Yan and Guan Suowill need to be defeated to allow them to resume theiradvance once again.

But wait, it's not that easy. Guan Xing will appearwith another rock attack unit from the central cliffs.Use the path in the center, circle around the pathon the east side and defeat Guan Xing. He'll temporarilywithdraw once done.

At this time, a condition can be completed. However,you'll have to leave the forces of Lu Meng in charge offreeing themselves in this gamble. Okay?

Pang De will be spotted in a deathmatch in the northwestnear the floodgates. Head towards the northwest cornerof the castle's south side and use the path on the west.Use your trusty steed to charge (stopping at nothing in betweenexcept for gates you must clear in order to advance)to the very end of the path on the west side of the map.Head north when you reach the path, and then head east anddefeat Zhao Lei and Shen Yi.

When Guan Ping arrives on the westernvicinity of Fan Castle's south side, you might wannahurry up and charge him.

After so, it'd be wise to double checkthe safety of Fan Castle and defeat any enemygenerals that are still around and/or are inthe castle. When Guan Ping is defeated, you'llprobably have noticed by now each Guan brothertemporarily withdraws when they are defeated thefirst time. Keep this in mind.

Once the allied armies order the advance onto GuanYu, Guan Yu will close the checkpoints that lead to hismain camps. Lu Meng orders the capture of the southerngarrison in order to use rams to break through his defense.However, basically at the same time Huang Zhong will arriveat the northwest path will enemy reinforcements. He'll headsouth so don't immediately charge after him. Capture the southerngarrison and get the rams going. Fan You will need to be defeatedin the garrison.

Ma Chao, too, will also arrive where Huang Zhong arrivednot that long after. But Ma Chao, however, IS targetingFan Castle. So if the rams aren't already securedand remain in the process of destroying the defenses orafter so, I'd defeat Ma Chao.

When you pass the checkpoints and approachthe enemy's main camp gates, Guan Yinpingwill be reinforced by materializing brothers of her's.However, Yinping only needs to be defeating to proceed ontoGuan Yu. When Guan Yu is defeated, you win the battle.
