Start with additional characters:
Start the game with a memory card with a saved game from Dynasty Warriors
2. Some characters unlocked in Dynasty Warriors 2 will be available in your
new game.
Hint: Play as Lu Bu:
On Hu Loa Gate, get over 1000 KOs and defeat Lu Bu. This can only be done
while on the Allied forces.
An easier way to get over 1000 KOs on Hu Lao Gate is play
on the easy difficulty setting, then pay attention to the enemy gates. If
you see a lot of enemy units pouring out, make sure to put your bodyguards
on defense then stay near the gate opening. KO the enemies as they appear.
Try not to KO the Gate Captain or no more units will appear. This is especially
critical around the three gates in Dong Zhuo's fortress where you can accumulate
over 450 KOs.
Hint: Mad Bull weapon:
Play as Dian Wei in Musuo mode to unlock "Battle at Wan Castle"
(where according to legend Dian Wei gives his life to save his leader).
Play this scenario under the hard difficulty setting. Defeat the opposing
general Hu Che Er (who according to legend stole Dian Wei's axe). After
you defeat him, a supply unit will appear to the south in the middle corridor
not far from where you defeated Hu Che Er. You must get to the supply unit
very quickly, as they will retreat almost immediately. Defeat the Supply
Captain and pick up the weapon, which will be Dian Wei's Mad Bull. It is
a 6 hits electrically charged axe, with a 49 Attack Power, along with a
+84 Hit Point Max, +27 Attack Power, and +8 Musuo Charge.
Hint: Red Hare weapon:
On Hu Loa Gate, once you defeat Lu Bu a supply unit will appear (usually
to the north). Defeat the supply captain and you will get a secret item.
Equip the item to use it on any level.
Hint: Sky Scorcher weapon:
Play as Lu Bu on Hu Lao Gate for Dong Zhuo's forces (possibly under the
hard difficulty setting). Defeat Cao Cao and a supply unit will appear not
far from where you defeat him. Defeat the Supply Captain and pick up the
weapon box, which will be Lu Bu's Sky Scorcher. It is a 6 hits electrically
charged weapon with a 50 Attack, along with a +24 Jump, +90 Musuo Max, +90
HP Max, +30 Attack, and a +60 Defense.
Hint: Stay powered-up:
When you are fighting with Xu Zhu during the time when your health is red
(True Musou), press Circle to attack the enemy. When you fall down, you
are still powering up. Wait until you are fully charged and keep on going
through this process.
