Destiny of an Emperor, released by Capcom on the NES in 1989, is a very
underrated and not well known RPG. However, it is not only a long and
enjoyable game, but it is based on a true period of ancient Chinese
history, known as the Three Kingdoms period, which lasted about 50
years in the 200s A.D.
If you would like to learn more about this story, there are many websites
that have full information on the spectacular wars and unique people that
shaped this period of the past. The largest site I know of, which covers
every Three Kingdoms game, is www.kongming.net. There you can find full
descriptions and history for any of the amazing characters that you
learn of while playing this game.
--------------------
II. Getting Started
--------------------
An opening sequence shows 3 best friends, warriors Liu Bei, Zhang Fei,
and Guan Yu, swearing an oath of loyalty to each other in a peach garden
in a small village. Afterwards, you learn of recent happenings from a
wise man. In the little village talk to every person. One man, a merchant,
will give you 200 gold and 1,000 rations, which are necessary for the
start of the game. Also, there are two men standing next to each other:
Song Ren and Song Yong. They will add their armies to your cause. However,
they are both very weak. They won't be with you too long, so don't worry.
Before you go outside, make sure to equip Liu Bei's, Guan Yu's, and Zhang
Fei's weapons and armor, and give Liu Bei's dagger to Song Ren. When you
go outside, go directly left to the castle Xu Zhou. When inside, go left
and to the house in the trees. There you will meet Mi Zhe. He will join.
Make him your active tactician. Now, go to the long building, shingled
roof, no curtain on door. There's no name for this place, so we'll call
it the eatery. Go in, and have Song Yong leave your party. He is weaker
than Song Ren and Mi Zhe, and so you don't need him. Also, if you want
a better chance for battles with higher EXP gain, fire Song Yong so you
can fight him out in the open.
Next, if you feel like using any of the 200 gold you started with, you
can go to either of the two shops at the top of the town, one is the
merchant's shop and the other is weapons and armor. Personally, I wait
and save up for Leathers at this time. Whenever you need to heal your
party, go to the closest building to the entrance to the town. That is
the Inn. You can pay a small price there to cure all your armies. And
lastly, to save the game, or in some cases invite Liu Bei to a newly
conquered castle (Liu Bei becomes the emperor later), go to the medium
building, shingle roof, plain door, no window. It's right above the
Eatery and the food shop. You can find out how long you have to wait
until your party increases a level when you save. Also note that
if you ever run out of food, which is seldom because fort and castle
battles give you a lot, you will be losing men every step you take out
in the open, so get to the nearest food store quick.
----------------------------------
III. The Yellow Scarves Rebellion
----------------------------------
Now go to the palace and talk to the king. He says he is sick, and will
make you his heir if you defeat the Yellow Scarves. So, our mission
will be to crush the rebellion. For starters, your generals armies are
very weak right now and you have little equipment. Spend time fighting
battles outside against rebel, bandit, pirate, and brigand forces, and
the occasional random general(s). You should get to level 4 before our
next task, and have leathers for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. and maybe a few
bandanas to go around. Some elixer As wouldn't hurt, either. When you
have done all this, follow the path directly west of Xu Zhou. Touch the
camp entrance and Zhang Bao will make a threat to you, and the battle
begins.
*****BATTLE 1*****
Zhang Bao - 299
Chen Yuan Zhi - 195
Rebel Force - 140
This is a rather easy fight. Start out by having Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and
Guan Yu attack Zhang Bao, and have Song Ren and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo on
Chen Yuan Zhi. Zhang Bao and Chen Yuan Zhi can both use Lian Huo, but
rarely will it hurt. Once you have both of them down to below 100 men
each, do an all out and finish them off. Zhang Bao will say you are too
strong, and retreat.
******************
Enter the large middle tent in the camp and search the corner pot. You
will find an Ax. Give it to Zhang Fei or Guan Yu. Give the replaced Flail
to Song Ren, and his dagger to Mi Zhi. You should've gotten up to level 5
from that battle and learned Chi Xin. If so, go back to Xu Xhou, heal,
and save. If not, fight random battles until you're at level 5. Then,
head south of Xu Zhou and you will find another camp. Zhang Jao mentions
you routing his brother and says the guy was a fool anyways. Now he gives
out a threat! Time to fight!
*****BATTLE 2*****
Zhang Jao - 346
Zheng Mao - 153
Han Zhong - 204
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 100
This battle is a bit tougher than the last one, but not by much. Have
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu attack to get Han Zhong below 100 men,
and have Song Ren and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo to bring down Zheng Mao. Once
they're below 100, concentrate on just attacking Zhang Jao. Use Chi Xin
to heal if necessary, and if Zhang Jao heals one of the other two generals,
attack them again. After Zhang Jao has less that 100 men, do an all out
attack. The battle will end shortly, and Zhang Jao will retreat.
******************
In the camp, enter the largest middle tent and obtain an Ax from a treasure
chest. Equip it on Zhang Fei or Guan Yu, whoever didn't get the last one.
After this, return to Xu Zhou, heal, save, and then go north to Qing Zhou.
DO NOT ATTACK THIS CASTLE FROM THE FRONT! You would be confronted by Zhang
Jao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Zheng Mao, and Chen Yuan Zhi. The result would
not be pretty. Instead, move around to the back of the entrance and press
the castle from there. You will only meet up with Zhang Liang.
*****BATTLE 3*****
Zhang Liang - 259
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 100
Zhang Lian has no tactics. Immediately all out attack. If any of your men
look about to die, pull out and use Chi Xin to heal them. This shouldn't
happen, though.
******************
After the battle, DO NOT try and enter the city! You have not taken it over
yet. If you do attack, you will be faced with all those generals I stated
previously. However, you should now see a cave opened up behind Qing Zhou.
Don't go in yet, because you can't get through if you're not a Yellow Scarves
rebel. What you must do is wander the country until you meet up with Han
Zhong, whose loyalty to Zhang Jao is quavery. If you battle him, you will
capture him, but he may request a steed or money upon joining. Make sure
you have a steed on hand, they can be bought at the merchant shop in Xu
Zhou.
Once Han Zhong is on your side, heal, save, and enter the cave. Put Han
Zhong in front of your party, and talk to the man by the water. He will make
a bridge. You may return Liu Bei to the front of your line, now.
Cross, and then go left and up to get an Ax from a treasure chest.
Equip it on whom you please, preferably Liu Bei. This cave is very small and
easy to navigate. Find 3 men standing side by side. They are the Zhang brothers.
Fight them.
*****BATTLE 4*****
Zhang Jao - 346
Zhang Bao - 299
Zhang Liang - 259
Your armies are now pitted against the 3 strong generals who previously
retreated from you. However, you hold the brains and the superior numbers,
so this will be a swift and sure battle. Have Liu Bei, Han Zhong, Zhang Fei,
and Guan Yu all attack Zhang Liang and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo on him, to wipe
out his army first, because his is the smallest and physically strongest.
After he is dead, go for Zhang Bao, but don't use tactics on him. Tactics
are generally less effective against opposing tacticians. Heal your forces
when necessary. Once he is dead, all out verses Zhang Jao. He may be able
to use Chi Xin, but it won't make up for all the damage you do to him.
Once they're all dead, you can wipe the dust off your armor with their faces
for all I care. The rebellion is over.
******************
Exit the cave through the entrance in front of you. Enter Qing Zhou and go
to the house up and to the right. Enter and talk to Chen Deng. He will join
your force. Replace Han Zhong with him, because he has higher attack and
much higher intelligence. You can make him your tactician, though he has
the same intelligence as Mi Zhi.
--------------
IV. Dong Zhou
--------------
Return to Xu Zhou and talk to the king, who is lying on the bed in the
back room. He will give up his rule to Liu Bei, who will in turn leave
you in order to stay and rule. However, his son, Liu Fend, will be a
worthy replacement, with more men, and slightly higher strength.
Save the game and head south as far as you can go, until you get to
another fort you haven't been to yet. When you enter, Sun Ce (ruler of
the Wu kingdom) tells you he attacked, but failed because Dong Zhou's
forces were too strong, and Yuan Shu didn't send reinforcements.
He leaves you. Don't worry, this battle isn't at all as tough as Sun Ce
said.
*****BATTLE 5*****
Hua Xiong - 439
Li Su - 299
Rebel Force - 100
Rebel Force - 100
Rebel Force - 140
These enemies know no tactics, so an all out straight from the start wouldn't
be suicide, except that Xua Xiong has 162 strength, almost twice as much
as any general you've fought so far! Plus, his immense army will take a few
turns to bring down. Attack him and have Mi Zhi / Chen Deng use Lian Huo.
When Hua Xiong is dead, all out to destroy the rest of them.
******************
In the camp, go to the back and talk to Yang Jin, who will join you. Have him
replace Mi Zhi. Then, go into the right tent for an Ax. In the middle tent
you'll find an Inn. Stay there if you must. Go back outside. If you want to
go back to Xu Zhou to save, you may. Once ready, walk 8 paces west and 1 pace
south of the entrance of the camp. Search the spot and find Chi Tu Ma, who is
Lu Bu's best horse (you'll meet Lu Bu soon). The person who has Chi Tu Ma will
be MUCH faster in battle, and probably go first every turn. I suggest giving
it to Zhang Fei, if you want his strong attack first, or to your best tactic
user, so you can get healings and other tactics in before other attacks in
a battle.
**Note: From here on for a while, make sure to always have a steed with you.
Be on the lookout for Hua Xiong, and if you fight him, hopefully you can capture
him! He can replace Yang Jin.**
Travel west of the camp and immediately upwards to the cave there. On the first
level of the cave, go either all the way left or right, go to the back of the
floor, take the stairs and get about 1,000 coins in a chest. Return to the
entrance to the cave. Go up the middle, go left or right, and take the fork
downward. On the next floor, walk until there is a big fork. Go downward. Take
the stairs, and on the next floor go left and up to the stairs. Obtain the Gold
Key. Make your way back out of the cave. At the entrance, Guan Ping will be waiting
there. He is VERY strong. Replace whatever tactician you have in your battle lineup
with Guan Ping. Now leave and return to Xu Zhou to heal and save.
Also get some more Elixer As while you're there. Go back to where the fork in
the mountains by the cave is and go west. You will come to a fort- here you will
face the mighty Lu Bu for the first time.
*****BATTLE 6*****
Lu Bu - 439
Li Ru -
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 120
Just one report on Lu Bu will tell you he is the strongest general in the game.
Thus, he is very dangerous to you and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Note that Guan Yu has very high intelligence- he will be using tactics for this
battle. Have him keep doing Ye Huo on Lu Bu while everyone else attacks him
until he is dead. Once he is, Li Ru shouldn't be too much trouble, and the battle
will go quickly from there. After a threat, Lu Bu retreats.
******************
In this fort, go right and talk to Huo Hu, who joins you. Replace your current
tactician with him. Now enter the central tent with the bushes around it. Talk
to Cao Cao, who is the leader of the Imperial Army. He talks of not being able
to catch Dong Zhou and says that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have gone ahead to the
castle of Lou Yang and he goes there also.
Exit the camp, and return all the way back to Xu Zhou to heal and save. Drop
off your old tactician, and replenish any Elixer As you've used up. You should
have at least one on each person. Also get a few Gullwings for easy travel back
Xu Zhou when you need it.
Now then, travel north and west of fort Hu Lao Guan to get to Lou Yang. You will
have to fight a few battles at gates before you fight the battle at the castle.
Battles 7 and 8 will be walks in the park. However, the one at the castle will
be just a little bit tougher. A general (I'm not sure who) will tell you he
failed to take Lou Yang because Dong Zhou and Lu Bu are working together, and
then he leaves you. But I think you can take on this next battle.
*****BATTLE 9*****
Dong Zhou - 439
Lu Bu - 439
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 180
OK- Dong Zhou doesn't have as much strength as Lu Bu, but he does have 20 more
attack power, making him just as dangerous. They both have a lot of men... but
you should take down Lu Bu first, because his attack is still the greatest.
Have everyone attack except Guan Yu who should use Ye Huo. If you want more
firepower, have Liu Feng use Ye Huo also, for he has very high intelligence
also. Just be ready for big attacks from the enemies each turn until you have
them both dead, because they still do a fair amount with under 100 men. When
it is over, Dong Zhou and Lu Bu will retreat.
******************
When you talk into Lou Yang, you will see it has been burned and pillaged. This
once grand capitol of China has been put to ruin. There are only 2 buildings
you can enter. Bottom middle is an Inn, and top left is a house. In the floor
in that house is a safe. Open it with the gold key to find the Gem sword. It
is not a weapon. Give it to Zhang Fei for later use.
Leave the city and continue westward to the next castle, where you shall fight
Lu Bu once again. Make sure Zhang Fei is at the front of your army for this
battle.
*****BATTLE 9*****
Lu Bu - 439
Cai Yong - 380
Hu Zhen - 299
Rebel Force - 150
Rebel Force - 120
On your first turn, have Zhang Fei use the Gem Sword on Lu Bu. When Zhang Fei
uses the Gem Sword on Lu Bu, he will give a speech and then join you. He talks
of Chi Tu Ma, whom you already got earlier.
Now this battle is a cinch without Lu Bu fighting you. Just take care of these
two loser generals the usual way.
******************
After the battle, replace Hua Xiong with Lu Bu in your lineup. Enter Yang Zhou
castle. Stay at the Inn, then save. You cannot invite Liu Bei here, though it
would seem you could because of the palace. Also, go to the lower right house
and search in the pot for a Club. Give this to Lu Bu, and give his Ax to whoever
is still using a flail. Also give Lu Bu Chi Tu Ma, because you want his super
high attack to go first during battle.
As soon as you leave the city, you will see another cave. Inside, go left at
the first fork, and down at the next. On the next floor, grab the Club in the
chest above you. Give it to Zhang Fei. Now go down and left and to the first
staircase you see. This leads to the way out. I suggest you not go to Chang An
right now. Fight some random battles in the area, and when you need healing
go back to Yang Zhou. Always keep some gullwings with you. When you are ready
to attack Chang An, go up to the gate before it to fight the first battle.
*****BATTLE 10*****
Dong Min - 380
Fen Chou - 399
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 180
Fen Chou has the great attack, so kill him first. All out once he is dead.
******************
Now attack Chang An castle.
*****BATTLE 11*****
Dong Zhou - 439
Jia Xu - 418
Zhang Ji - 362
If you had not brought Lu Bu to your side earlier, you would be fighting him
now. This battle is much easier with him on your side. Have all physical attacks
go on Jia Xu until he is dead, and have Guan Yu keep using Shui Xing and Ye Huo
on Dong Zhou and Zhang Ji. Jia Xu is very dangerous, because he uses Shui Zing
a lot, and it hurts. Be proud of yourself when this battle has ended. Dong Zhou
is killed and peace returns to Chang An...
******************
------------
V. Yuan Shu
------------
Now you enter Chang An. It is a giant monster of a city- the biggest in the game.
It is a paradise. This will be your main headquarters until you occupy Nan Yang,
much later. List of things to do here include buying Caps and Clubs for everyone,
stocking up on Elixers and Power Pills, and inviting Liu Bei to the palace. When
he has arrived, go speak with him. He tells you you've done a good job fighting
and he lets you rest. He awakens you however, and summons you to the palace. A
messanger has arrived from Cao Cao bringing ill news. He says general Yuan Shu
has somehow aquired the Imperial Seal and calls himself the Emperor. This is a
problem that must be fixed!
Leave Chang An and travel south. Take the right fork through the mountains. The
house you see to the left is not important until later. Attack the castle you
see ahead.
*****BATTLE 12*****
Lei Bo - 643
Chen Ji - 531
Rebel Force - 200
Rebel Force - 220
This generals may see to have overwhelmingly large armies, but their attacks
are really not great, and neither of them use tactics. Wipe out Lei Bo with
attacks and Guan Yu using Shui Xing. Then all out to kill the rest of them.
******************
This is Yuan castle. Not a very important place. However, you can buy Padded
armors here, which are much stronger than Leather armors. Buy as many as you
can, but they are expensive. Give them first to anyone still wearing a Robe.
Leave and continue south. From here on you will be fighting many generals
with upwards of 500 men, and Rebel, Pirate, Brigand, and Bandit forces now
have over 200 men apiece. Take the shortcut through the mountains and go west.
You will come to a castle where you will fight two very powerful generals.
*****BATTLE 13*****
Ji Ling - 613
Zhang Xun - 675
Rebel Force - 230
Both of these generals have insanely large armies and attack to rival any
of your generals due to the high AP they are given in this battle coupled
with their almost 200 strength each. They are both equally dangerous, so
use Power Pills to kill them quickly, and also have Guan Yu use Shui Xing.
Tactics will be more effective than physical damage because both generals
have very high defense. Once one of the two is defeated, then it should be
safe to all out attack. **Note: These are the two strongest capturable
men before Nan Yang, and I highly advise you to spend time trying to find
and capture them so they can fight for you. Have the first of two you catch
replace Liu Feng and the second replace Guan Ping.**
******************
This is Huai Nan castle. Fairly small, but you can both heal and save here.
Spend some time in the field north of here trying to find Zhang Xun and Ji
Ling before you go any further. You want those two generals ASAP. Also,
around this point in the game, your health bars will change from pink to
orange, because the number of men generals are getting is too great for
the pink scale.
There is a small fortress just to the north of here. The battle is of no
importance to you. You will flatten it. Even farther north is a cave. It
is medium sized and has only 2 floors and then a little one. It is not
hard to navigate and contains 3 spears, so take a trip into it with some
elixers on hand.
Once you are about level 14, return to Huai Nan castle, heal and save.
Now venture northward towards Nan Yang castle. The two gate battles are
sinchy, just squash them. Now to Nan Yang.
*****BATTLE 17*****
Yuan Shu - 899
Yuan Yin - 643
Lu Fan - 817
Rebel Force - 250
Nan Yang would've been much tougher had you not had Lu Bu, because then
there would be a mighty fighter against you as well as all the tacticians.
Luckily, only Yuan Shu has somewhat of an attack. Focus on taking him out
first, with everyone attacking except Guan Yu who should use Yan Re, which
you learned at level 14. This battle may take a bit because all these
generals can heal, but if you have power pills, you should be able to pick
off one or two of them in one round apiece. Watch out for your health- have
Zhang Xun heal if you're low (he has lowest attack). After the battle is
over, you're given the choice weather or not to kill Yuan Shu for being a
traitor, but you actually have to let him go. Oh well.
******************
--------------
VI. Yuan Shao
--------------
Now that the battle is over, DO NOT TAKE A STEP NORTHWARD. Just enter Nan
Yang RIGHT AWAY. Once you've gone in and healed and saved, take off all
of Lu Bu's items and give them to Guan Ping, who will replace him. Give
Chi Tu Ma to Zhang Fei now, though. He will keep him for a while. Now
when you step outside and go a few steps north, you will be met with a
horrifying battle. You don't have to fight this one, though. Yuan Shao and
Yuan Shu show up with immense armies and backing generals, and bully you
for a turn. Lu Bu switches sides, seeing that he is on the "losing" side.
That's why you took his stuff away.
Now go back inside the castle and heal. Invite Liu Bei in and talk to him.
He will thank you for killing Yuan Shu, but this is a typo. You didn't kill
him and he's off with his big brother. Also, go to the northest corner of
the town and talk to a man walking around. Buy the key from him, even though
4,000 is a lot, it is more than worth it later.
Above Nan Yang you will face slightly harder rebel and other forces, but not
very much harder. However now a new group of generals will meet you out in the
open, and many now have over 1000 men and over 150 strength. The key to
fighting them is to get their health below 1,000 as soon as possible. Above
that number, their attacks will be great, but below they will be just average
of what you're used to.
Head north and west of Nan Yang and take a stop in a small cave. There are 2
people in here, and one you can't reach now. The one you can talk to is Zhou
Cang, who will join voluntarily. He is stronger than Guan Ping, so replace him
with Zhou Cang.
Once you are at least level 15, head north and east to Bo Hai castle.
*****BATTLE 18*****
Lu Guang - 1037
Shen Pei - 1255
Gao Lan - 942
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 230
This is your first castle battle against generals of this caliber, and 2 of
them have over 1,000 men. Luckily, one is a weak tactician, and the other will
fall below 1,000 in just 1 attack. Simply, attack Lu Guang once, then focus
attacks on Shen Pei until he is dead. Have Guan Yu use Yan Re every turn.
Once Shen Pei is dead, then you can choose to all out or kill Lu Guang first,
then all out. Shouldn't make much difference, just watch your health, because
no one in your party is really higher than 700 men, if any.
******************
In Bo Hai, heal, then enter the left of the double house. Get the Gun Powder
and go to the cave in the west. Use the powder to free Xu Zhe who is trapped.
He will join you. Make him your tactician, because he is very intelligent.
Note that he is going by the name Dan Fu, so there's no confusion. Now with
him you can get past the woman blocking the bridge in Bo Hai. Get Wood Helmets
for at least Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and if funds permit, for other generals
in the front of your group.
Continue east of Bo Hai until you see a gate in the middle of nowhere. Attack.
*****BATTLE 19*****
Xu Shou - 1255
Yan Liang - 1381
Wen Hun - 1449
Rebel Force - 230
This is a hard battle, but though you're outnumbered, you are a human and they
are just NES intelligence. Wen Hun and Yan Liang have two insanely high attacks,
and with their HP are hard to get below 1,000 immediately. In fact it will take
at least 3 turns to get all generals below 1,000. Xu Shou has Yan Re and is not
afraid to use it. Be ready to heal anyone who gets down to around 250, because
they could be killed in one turn by consecutive hits on their armies. The main
thing is to focus on Xu Shou and kill him, after Wen Hun and Yan Liang are
under 1K men. Guan Yu should be using Yan Re every turn. Once you have routed
this enemy force, you should be proud. Now, you will not face any of them again,
which means if you meet up with Wen Hun or Yan Liang out in the open, hope that
you can convert them, for they are as you saw very powerful.
******************
Enter this fortress and free the girl behind the bars. She gives you a letter.
Before we do anything with this, you should go back to Nan Yang to heal and save.
Also consider getting to level 17. Try to capture Wen Hun and Yan Liang or at
least one of the two. Lu Guang is also pretty good. Now, travel to the castle
east of Bo Hai. Go ahead and "go in", but actually this just gives the game a
chance for you to talk to Zhao Yun. Show him the letter from his sister and he
joins you. Fit him into your team, because he is one of the 5 what are called
"Tiger" generals. He gains men every level, and has insanely high attack and
intelligence. When the end of the game comes he will be your best man all
around. Now, attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 20*****
Yuan Tan - 1594
Yuan Xi - 1519
Tian Feng - 1141
Rebel Force - 270
Attack Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi using power pills with Zhang Fei and whatever
random generals you have. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun should use Yan Re every
turn. Once Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are below one thousand, concentrate attacks
on Tian Feng until he is dead. Once he is gone, all out attack.
******************
Now enter this castle, which is Guang Zong. Heal, and save (the building is
at the far end of the city). Do not talk to the pink and white general in
the middle until you've saved. Ok, now talk to him. He is blood of Yuan
Shu and Yuan Shao, and he wants to kill you.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Yuan Shang - 1672
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 300
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 300
Yuan Shang is a strong general. However, with only Rebel Forces as backup,
you can take him down quickly. Have Guan Yu and Zhao Yun use Yan Re, and
everyone else attack him. If he is not below 1000, then do another round,
all attacking him. Watch out in case he uses Yan Re, for he is a capable
tactician. Now, you can all out to kill him and any remaining rebel
forces.
******************
Heal and save again, and continue eastward towards Ji Zhou, the castle
where Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Lu BU, and others await you. Defeat the gate
battles (#22 and 23, no special strats needed), and return to Guang Zong
for a quick heal/save. If you are not level 18, get there, so Zhang Fei
will have a little over 1,000 men. Make sure to get all generals at least
2 power pils and 1 elixer B each. Now, attack Ji Zhou.
Yuan Shao will again say you killed his brother, but that makes no sense
because he's in this next battle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Yuan Shao - 1754
Yuan Shu - 899
Zhang He - 1317
Ju Shou - 1449
Lu BU - 1449
THIS BATTLE IS HARD, and in fact harder than first glance. Not only do
all these generals, and there are 5 of them, have a mass army of over
7,000 men, but each of them is a strong fighter except Ju Shou, and all
are expert tacticians except Lu Bu. Note that Lu Bu has now about 1,500
hit points, and will be doing over 300 damage a hit until brought down,
and 150 until he is defeated. Basically, we take this battle slowly, one
step at a time. First turn, have Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Fei use
power pills to attack Lu Bu. Have Guan Yu use Ji Rou to reduce enemy
attacks, and Zhao Yun use Yan Re. Hopefully Zhang Fei got to do his attack
before he was knocked below 1,000. He should do between 300 and 400 damage.
Odds are you took some heavy damage, so have Guan Yu use Yin Xian now.
Concentrate attacks and Lu Bu, and keep using Yan Re with Zhou Yun. save
your power pills for Yuan Shao, whom you will kill last. After Lu Bu is
dead, focus on Ju Shou. Go up the enemy line from him, killing them one
by one. When only Yuan Shao is left, have everyone attack with power pils.
Congratulate yourself, a lot, when they are all defeated.
******************
---------------------------
VII. Fighting in Jing Zhou
---------------------------
Enter Ji Zhou, heal, save, and invite Liu Bei in. Talk to him and he tells
you the land of Jing Zhou is in turmoil and you need to stop the fighting
there. Before heading off, buy 3 sabres, for Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang
Fei. I'd have you buy more, but only 2 towns away is your next weapon, which
though expensive is very awesome, and you should save your money for some.
Gullwing back to Nan Yang and save. Go left now and down the path. Following
this path you will go by 4 houses, and then come to a castle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Jin Xuan - 1317
Gong Zhi - 1197
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 300
Simple battle. All out if you want. These are not dangerous enemies.
******************
Enter Wu Ling castle. Heal, leave, and continue eastward along the path.
Before attacking the next castle, which is hard, get to level 19. When
you're ready, attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Han Xuan - 1519
Huang Zhong - 1381
Wei Yan - 1317
Yang Ling - 1197
Rebel Force - 300
This battle has 2 of the strongest men in the game fighting you. Huang Zhong
and Wei Yan. Basically, have Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Fei keep attacking
Huang Zhong and then Wei Yan, and Zhao Yun should keep using Yan Re. Once they
are dead, kill Yang Ling, and then allout to kill Han Xuan.
******************
Entering Chang Sha you see Huang Zhong and Wei Yan standing in the way. They
will join you now. Replace Wen Hun and Yan Liang with them. Now, go to the
weapon shop and buy as many Bows as you can afford. Now heal, leave, and go
south. Enter the castle you see; you don't have to fight your way in. Go to
the palace and talk to the leader. He will show you to your sleeping quarters.
Then, he will attack you in your sleep. You wake up and enter a battle, with
severely reduced armies.
*****BATTLE 22*****
Zhao Fan - 1594
Bao Long - 1255
Chen Ying - 1197
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 380
The only challenge to this battle is everyone starts with 200-300 men. Have
Wei Yan use Yin Xian right away, and have everyone else attack Zhao Fan, but
have Zhao Yun use Yan Re. Once everyone is back up to regular health, this
fight will be a cinch.
******************
Now this town becomes completely docile. You can heal and save here, and
invite Liu Bei in. He will siimply tell you that the fighting in Jing Zhou
needs to be stopped. Guess its up to you to stop it. Every fight between
here and the next castle will be simple because of your almighty bows. All
out against anyone. The fight at the gate (#23) is simple. Now for the
castle, which is not much harder.
*****BATTLE 24*****
Liu Du - 1672
Xing Da o Rong - 1519
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 350
Bows must be the cheapest weapons in the game. These battles are too easy
with them. Oh well, guess its a lot quicker. The end of this battle restores
peace to Jing Zhou.
******************
Enter Ling Ling castle. Heal and save. If you try and invite Liu Bei here,
the scribe will say that Liu Bei is going to Gui Yang, the last castle you
were at. You should visit him in a bit. First, go around the edge of the town
to a house on the left, and search in front of the man inside. You'll find a
sword. Equip it on Zhang Fei. It is only 1 attack, but does as much as 2 bow
hits would. Though he won't get two hits anymore, now Power Pils can be used
effectively again for hits of over 1000 damage.
Now go back to Liu Bei in Gui Yang. You will probably meet up with a mighty
tactician named Pang Tong on the way back...
*****BATTLE 25*****
Pang Tong - 3765
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 320
Rebel Force - 320
Pang Tong is... well strong. He has quite a good few men, and very advanced
tactics such as Ji Mian, which stops you from attacking, Da Re, a fire spell
capable of huge damage to one army, and Wan Fu, which allows a full heal of
the target army. Ouch. Well, just never cease to attack Pang Tong. When hurt,
heal. However, with your bows, you can kill him in two turns flat, and so
just hope he doesn't use any of his big guns.
******************
When he's defeated, he'll join you. Yay. Replace Xu Zhe with him, and if you
wish, put him in your battle party in place of Huang Zhong, due to his sheer
mass of men and great tactical capablities. But, on the other hand, greater
attack is better for now. Just let Pang Tong do his stuff from behind the
fight. When you get back to Gui Yang, Liu Bei gives you a letter for Xu Zhe
saying he needs to leave to care for his sick mother. Good thing you have
Pang Tong. When you walk out of the palace, Xu Zhe says something he almost
forgot. He is telling you to go see Zhu Ge Liang at his house, which is
the third one down to the left of Nan Yang. Go there. Stock up on Gull Wings,
you're gonna need em. Also note that the game music has now changed from the
fun, upbeat squeeky noise, to a more mellow, epic sort of sound. This is how
it will be until the end of the game.
*****Zhu Ge Liang Scavenger Hunt*****
When you arrive at Zhu Ge Liang's house, he is not there. You must go to Lou
Sang villiage, where you began the game. Gullwing to Xu Zhou. Enter the small
house and ask the man there, who will say Zhu Ge Liang was there but left.
Now go back to his house, and the man there will refer you to Nan Yang. Go to
Nan Yang, invite Liu Bei in. Talk to him and he says someone named Jin came
and was looking for you. Now go back to Zhu Ge Liang's house one last time.
You see Zhu Ge Liang sleeping. Talk to him but choose not to wake him, and
he will awaken by himself. He says he will join but go to Gui Yang castle
first.
Now gullwing to Chang Sha and go down to Gui Yang and meet up with him
in the palace. Finally! In rapid succession you just got the 2 best tacticians
in the game. However, you can only use one of them, so you should make Zhu Ge
Liang the acting strategist and now if you want, put Pang Tong into your party
in place of Wei Yan. Also, around this time, your health bars should change
from orange to light yellow.
Now, go west to Ling Ling castle, heal, and save, and venture onward. Soon
you should meet up with a pretty crazy battle...
*****BATTLE 26*****
Lu Bu - 7003
Rebel Force - 700
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is easier than it looks, though Lu Bu will take a while to kill,
and he does around 800 damage a hit. Best ways to deal with him are power
pils. If you have the tactic Da Re, it is also very effective, so have Guan
Yu, Zhao Yun, and Pang Tong use it, while the others attack. Hopefully Lu
Bu doesn't get any critical attacks before you kill him (and this time, you
kill him for good). Also, if you have Bei Ji, that would be great right now,
for double attacks. Yi Xin can also be good, to prevent Lu Bu from attacking.
Whatever you do, just have fun killing the stupid traitor.
******************
Return to Ling Ling to heal and save. Now, I suggest you spend a lot of time
building up levels, at least to 25. Yes it may seem like a lot, but this new
area we've entered has many new generals and the rebel forces all have many
more men. Plus, experience should come pretty quickly. Also note that from
this point on there will be no more pirate, brigand, or bandit forces. Only
rebel forces. Something else to keep in mind: make sure that Zhang Fei has
your one sword equipped right now. Always keep him with at least 2 power pills
at hand. Give Chi Tu Ma to Pang Tong. Then, if you get into a battle with
some really big armies against you, have Pang Tong use Bei Ji and then Zhang
Fei use a power pill- he will deal over 2,000 damage! Hong Shui is another
great tactic right now. When near water, you can have Pang Tong deal over
1,000 damage to every opponent! Ouch.
Travel past Ling Ling, down, up, around, down, left, etc... until you reach
a house between some mountains. This is the gateway into the kingdom of Shu,
a land ruled by Liu Bei's brother which is in turmoil right now. Time for
you to step in. Before stepping in, make sure to have elixer Cs for everyone.
----------
VIII. Shu
----------
Head west until you reach a fortress.
*****BATTLE 27*****
Liu Kui - 3262
Zhang Ren - 3262
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
There are no tacticians on the other team, so this fight is pretty simple.
Use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and just have everyone attack, on Zhang Ren first
and then Liu Kui. Should be dead in a few turns.
******************
There is nothing of interest in this fortress. Continue northward. You will
go through a series of twisting mountain paths. Also watch out around here,
for you can meet up with Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who are two of the strongest
generals in the game, especially Ma Chao. Eventually you will reach a castle
with a gate. Defeat the gate (#28) and attack Fu Shui castle.
*****BATTLE 29*****
Yan Yan - 3262
Fa Zheng - 2965
Yang Huai - 2965
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
These opponents are all very capable. Yan Yan is both an expert fighter and
a superb tactician. Yang Huai's attack is nothing to scoff at, either. I
suggest you use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and have everyone attack except Pang Tong
who should use Da Re on Yan Yan or Yang Huai. When they're dead, all out to
win.
******************
Enter Fu Shui castle, heal, and save. Enter the palace, which cannot entertain
Liu Bei. Go through the door to the right, and then you see a prison cell. Keep
pushing your character against it, repeatedly tapping, or backing away and
running into it. Eventually the door will break. Then talk to the man. Now go
to the weapons shop. If you feel like making the switch from Bow to Sword, you
can. You should probably just keep your bows until the next weapon after sword
comes along. Also get copper helmets.
Head northward once you are at least level 26. Attack the gate at the next
castle (#30, I suggest using Hong Shui for an easy win). Now, let's attack Lou
castle.
*****BATTLE 31*****
Ma chao - 3262
Ma Dai - 3110
Pang De - 2965
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is hard. You are facing Ma Chao, one of the 5 Tiger generals (you
have 4 on your side right now), Ma Dai, his almost as strong brother, and Pang
De, an obvious relative of Pang Tong and also an expert tactician. All of his
tactics are dangerous to you, so I would recommend killing him first. But to
start this battle, have Pang Tong use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and have everyone
else cast it on themselves except Zhang Fei, who should use a power pill on
Ma Chao. Next turn, have Pang Tong use Da Re on Ma Dai, and have everyone else
attack Ma Chao, except zhang Fei who should use another power pil, on Pang De.
After this turn, there shouldn't be much left of your opponent. All out attack
to defeat them. Now, Ma Chao and Ma Dai will join you. Put Ma Chao in your line
up in place of Huang Zhong, but keep him with you. Keep Ma Dai in the reserve.
We still want Pang Tong leading the party.
******************
Enter Lou Castle. Note that you can gullwing here, so you can now go between
older cities and here easily. Heal here, and go somewhere else to save if you
want. Continue south of Lou and you come to a cave. In this cave is the Iron
Ore, which you will really want. The cave is relatively small. Take the lower
of the 2 pathways left at the beginning and its straight directions from there
to the Iron Ore. Gullwing out to Lou when you have it. Then go back to Fu Shui,
go a bit south of there, and hook around back up to a house, and give the ore
to the blacksmith. Gullwing back to Lou, and return to Mt. Gang Tai (the cave).
Take the path upwards this time to get through.
When outside, go down and left, then hook back up to a fortress. This battle
consists only of weak generals that you've probably faced many times out in
the open before. Do not hesitate to kick their asses.
Enter Mian Zhu Guan fortress. In the leftmost tent, there is a treasure chest
with a battleax in it. Give the battleax to Zhang Fei and his Sword to Ma Chao.
Leave and continue onwards. Attack the gate at the next castle.
*****BATTLE 33*****
Lei Tong - 3110
Wu Lan - 2965
Rebel Force - 850
Rebel Force - 850
Rebel Force - 1000
Though Lei Tong and Wu Lan both have great attacks, you totally outnumber them,
outsmart them, and out hit them. Plus you've faced them both many times. Time
to whoop them.
******************
Now Cheng Du
*****BATTLE 34*****
Liu Zheng - 4142
Gao Pei - 2872
Wu Yi - 3589
Wang Lei - 2827
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is much easier than it looks. The big "bad guy" Liu Zheng is very
weak in strength and intelligence, despite his mass of soldiers. Gao Pei and Wu
Yi are moderate, but you've beaten them before. Wang Lei is just crap. Use Bei
Ji on Zhang Fei with his battleax, then have him power-pill attack Liu Zheng
and then Wu Yi. Kiss them goodbye. Pang Tong should Bei Ji Zhang Fei the first
turn, then do Da Re on Gao Pei. Everyone else can attack whoever. Voila, you win,
Liu Bei now rules Shu.
******************
In Cheng Du, heal, save, and invite Liu Bei in. He says something about the
blacksmith and your swords. Don't worry about that yet. Go buy battleaxes
for everyone who doesn't have one yet (except of course Zhu Ge Liang). Get Chain
Mails for everyone. Don't go back to the swordsmith yet. Spend some time around
here facing battles and owning with your battleaxes. You can gain some quick
levels. Get to at least level 29.
Ok, now go to the swordsmith's house. He tells you he made 5 great swords and
tells you what he named them. But they were stolen! Oh no! Don't worry. You'll
find them in various places later on.
Return to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei. He gives you a speech about how the
world is all good right now, but he says Shu is too vast for him to control
alone, so he makes Guan Yu the ruler of Chang Sha and Zhang Fei the ruler of
Gui Yang. This is to help keep the peace in Jing Zhou, a very hostile area.
But suddenly something happens. Some time passes, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
have left. Now two messengers come and say that Cao Cao and Sun Ce both died.
Uh oh. And, Wu is attacking Jing Zhou, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are barely
holding on. You must go help them. First, gullwing to Chang Sha. Go to the
palace and speak with Guan Yu, who offers his son to join your army. Good!
Do the same at Gui Yang where Zhang Fei's son will join you. Alright, awesome.
They are both a bit weaker in stats than their fathers but have the same men
and all the stuff the two dads left with.
Go back to Cheng Du and speak to Liu Bei. He says that Wu has invaded Jing Zhou.
Head to Wu Ling first and fight the enemies there.
*****BATTLE 35*****
Fan Zhang - 4780
Chen Wu - 5014
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 300
Rebel Force - 320
This is your first fight against generals from Wu. These two are sort of strong,
but with power pils and you battle axes, you'll have them routed in no time.
******************
Head to Gui Yang. Heal, save, and reload on power pils. Now go to Ling Ling to
fight.
*****BATTLE 36*****
Ling Tong - 5516
Wu Fan - 5014
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 380
This battle is just as easy as the last one, because Ling Tong isn't that strong
and Wu Fan doesn't have any dangerous tactics. Use power pils and whoop them.
******************
-------
IX. Wu
-------
Get back to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei again. He gives another speech, and this
time you'll do some butting in also. At the end of the speech, 3 people now claim
the title of emperor. Woah. Go back to Gui Yang and you will find a bridge there
now. Woah, cool. You can cross it and explore a bit if you want, but until you
are level 31, stay close to Gui Yang. There are dozens of new generals in Wu,
and many of them have immense strength, armies reaching over 10,000, and very
vicious tactics. Stay near water, because Pang Tong can use Shui Long to do over
2,000 damage to every enemy. Always keep a fresh supply of power pils, especially
on Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who are your strongest attackers now. At level 30, your
health bars should change to light blue.
At level 31, heal and save. Take Pang Tong out of your battle party, but keep him
with you. Put it Huang Zhong now. Give Chi Tu Ma to Zhao Yun. Heal, save, and
head west and south of Gui Yang now. Generals to watch out for in this area, some
you may have met while building up, include Tai Ci Si, Zhou Yu, Lu Sun, Lu Su,
among others. Do not hesitate to try retreating if you face any of them. Attack
the first castle you come to.
*****BATTLE 37*****
Gan Ning - 6069
Lu Su - 6365
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1300
Gan Ning is a strong general, but he is the least of your worries. Lu Su has Ji
Mian, Yi Xin, and Li Jian, which prevent you from attacking, prevent one general
from doing anything, and cause one general to attack his allies, respectively.
First turn, have everyone cast Bei Ji on themselves. Next turn, have everyone
attack Lu Su with powerpils except Zhao Yun who should use Huo Shen. That will
do over 3000 damage to anyone it hits, but probably won't hit Lu Su. One dose
of that should be sufficient. Then just own the battle with your Bei Jied hits.
******************
Enter Jian An. Make sure everyone has at least 1 elixer D. Go to the back of
the town and search in front of the lone tree for some Dead Wood. Now leave
and head north into the cave in the mountains. In the cave, take the lower
fork and take the stairs you see. Then go left and up on the next floor. The
path to the saltpeter which you came for is straightforward. Gullwing out to
Jian An when done.
Talk to the man standing in place in the front part of the town. He will take
your saltpeter and dead wood and make dam so you can get across the canal. Leave
and head south. You will come to a fortress where you will fight a very hard
battle...
*****BATTLE 38*****
Zhou Yu - 6365
Gu Yong - 5014
Kan Ze - 5259
Rebel Force - 1100
Ok, you're up against 3 tacticians. Zhou Yu is probably tied for the most
dangerous in the game, next to Cao Pi, Si Ma Yi, and very few others. He is
who you want dead the fastest. First turn, have everyone use Bei Ji. Then,
have everyone attack except Zhao Yun who should use Huo Shen. You will
probably have to heal often, since these guys love to use Hong Shui. Guan
Xing should do the healing, he's your weakest man. Use power pils and just
try to get Zhou Yu dead as fast as you can, and hope he doesn't ues Wan Fu
too many times. Also note he has An Sha, which can wipe out an entire general
of yours with one swipe. Hopefully someone has some ressurects, which we've
not really needed so far. When you finally get Zhou Yu dead, get Kan Ze, and
then all out to finish. An alternate way to start the battle would've been
for Zhao Yun to cast Ce Mian the first turn to ward off enemy tactics for
whatever number of turns it lasts.
******************
Gullwing back to Chang Sha. Reload on power pils and gullwings, and gull
back to Jian An. Continue past the fortress you just beat until you get to
another castle.
*****BATTLE 39*****
Zhu Ge Jin - 6365
Jang Qin - 5259
Han Dang - 5516
Rebel Force - 1100
This is a rather easy battle vs Zhu Ge Liang's bad brother. Whoop up on
them with powerpils and Zhou Yun using Shui Long when he's Bei Jied.
******************
Enter Wu castle. Heal, save, and leave. Continue onwards. You come to
the first confusing cave in the game. This one is big and stupid. Get
to level 33 before going in, and make sure to have elixer Ds for everyone.
Uhhh... I'll try to give directions, though if you can find a map somewhere
on the internet (like my site http://cge.ffmyths.com) this would be much
easier. The first two rooms are very small. Then there's a big floor. Follow
the path around, then go down at the fork. On the next floor take the stairs
right next to you, and on the next follow the plain path around. Again take
the stairs next to you. On this floor, follow the path, go left at first
fork, right at second, down at third. This leads you to Nu Long, one of the 5
swords. Give it to Ma Chao. Now backtrack to that last fork, and go right to
get out of the cave.
Go north for a darn long while until you come to a gate and a fortress. The
gate is guarded by just Ding Feng. All out vs him, he's weak. Attack the
fort now.
*****BATTLE 41*****
Chen Pu - 9326
Zhang Zhao - 8082
Bu Xi - 7003
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
The reason this fight will be tough is cuz you just went on a long journey
since your last heal, so you probably are way down on tactic points. Use
Bei Ji on Zhao Yun and Ma Chao only. Everyone should attack Zhang Zhao
with whatever power pills you might have, but Zhao Yun should use Huo Shen.
Good luck winning, a lot depends on if they use a lot of annoying tactics
like Li Jian, Ji Mian, Yi Xin, and Wan Fu.
******************
Enter Po Yang fortress, which lovingly has a place to rest in. Leave and
go southwest. Attack the gate, and then attack Jin Du.
*****BATTLE 43*****
Sun Yu - 13027
Zhang Hong - 10763
Zhu Zhi - 10261
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
These generals have huge armies. 2 are amazing fighters, 1 is an annoying
tactician. However, with Bei Jied power pil attacks (on the tactician)
and Bei Jied Shui Long uses, you should be able to take them down quickly.
******************
Be very happy, for Jin Du is on your gullwing list, you can go to and
from here easily. Heal now. Before talking to anyone, buy crossbows for
everyone except Ma Chao and Bronze Helmets for everyone. Now talk to the
soldier in the middle of the town to initiate a fight.
*****BATTLE 44*****
Lu Meng - 14333
3 Rebel Force - ????
This is a strong general and even greater tactician. Use Bei Jei on
everyone, then give him dose after dose of attacks. He may use Wan Fu,
which would ****. Hope he doesn't! Don't use powerpils except with Ma
Chao, because everyone else has double attack weapons. Huo Shen wouldn't
hurt. When you beat him he runs off, saying you're strong but Tai Si Ci
is stronger. Phhtt you've beaten Tai Si Ci a few times already I assume.
******************
Gull out of Jin Du to someplace where you can get powerpils and more
gullwings and come back. Head south of Jin Du to find a house. Attack
the group of pirates inside. They all have over 10K men but they're
easy. Return to Jin Du and talk to a man who will give you Qing Long,
another one of the 5 swords. Give it to Zhang Bao.
Now, wander around the area, and attack the gates of the next castle
if you wish (#44-46), but don't attack Jian Ye until you're level 38
so some of your guys have over 10K men. Also your health bars should
turn dark blue about now. Now then, heal and save. Give Ma Chao's Nu
Long to Zhao Yun just for this battle, because Zhao Yun has over 10K
men and Ma Chao does not, so we want the best damage we can give out.
Attack Jian Ye castle.
*****BATTLE 48*****
Tai Si Ci - 15769
Lu Sun - 11814
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1300
Well, though you've probably faced both of these generals at random
times before, this time they're together. And you can't just go all
out with tactics, because this battle is a 2 parter, and any Bei Jis
will not carry over to the next part. So, Bei Ji just Zhao Yun and
Zhang Bao. Everyone should focus attacks on Lu Sun, though Zhao Yun
should use Huo Shen once. I feel confident you should be able to take
down these two with relative ease. But now comes part 2 of the battle...
Sun Quan - 19087
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1300
Wow. Sun Quan is a monster. 228 strength with 240 AP to back it up,
and plenty of men to keep him over 10K for a while. And, he has very
high intelligence and some of our least favorite tactics like Ji Mian,
Li Jian, and Yi Xin. So, start out with everyone using Bei Ji on himself.
Next turn, have everyone attack except Guan Xing, who should use Huo Shen.
If he fails to hit Sun Quan with it, try again with Zhao Yun the next turn.
Just keep attacking turn by turn, and use any power pills Zhang Bao and Zhao
Yun might have. Don't let anyone get down too low on health, because if Sun
Quan does a super attack... **shudder**. Yeah, so just focus your energy and
take this sucker down. After all, he wants to take over China, and so do you,
so he's just kinda in your way. At the end he gives another speech, then dies.
So closes the Wu chapter, for Liu Bei's army now occupies it all.
******************
-------
X. Wei
-------
Enter Jian Ye, heal, save, and invite. Liu Bei says Cao Pi must die, and you
should attack from "Jian Ye, northeast of here" which is an obvious mistake-
you're in Jian Ye! Anyways, go to the weapon shops and replace your crossbows
with Lances. Also give Nu Long back to Ma Chao. Do not buy the mail here for
there is better armor at the next town. For now, just go outside to the east
and wander around a bit. There are many new generals with armies reaching over
20 and 30K men, so you should definately do some leveling up. Generals to watch
out for include Cheng Yu, Yang Xiu, Chen Qun, Cao Zhi, Guo Jia,
When you reach level 39, head east and north of Jian Ye for your next fight.
Attack the gate (easy fight, #49). Then attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 49*****
Zhang Liao - 13027
Cao Zhen - 10763
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1800
This battle, though the opposing generals don't have too many men, is hard
because they're BOTH strong warriors and elite tacticians, especially Zhang
Liao. Bei Ji everyone and power pill Zhang Liao to death before he kills
anyone with An Sha. If he does, don't worry about resurrecting, just kill
the bastard. Cao Zhen can go next. Don't all out against these guys. I suggest
using Shui Long once or twice with Bei Ji for whoopass potential.
******************
Enter Guang Ling castle and talk to the first person you see after the guard.
This is Jiang Wei, a great tactician and good fighter, who gains men like
all your other generals right now, and gets as many as Zhao Yun. He is so good
that you should replace Huang Zhong with him. Keep the old fart around though,
in case you need a backup when someone dies. Give Chi Tu Ma to Jiang Wei. In
the middle of a town, a tree sticks out on the side. Search there to find Bo
Ye, another sword. It is not as strong as the first 2 you got, but still
stronger than any generic weapons. Give it to Guan Xing. Now go in the weapon
shop and buy Plate Mail for everyone.
Go back to Jian Ye and save. Build up to level 40. Heal, save, and continue
past Guang Ling castle. You might consider getting some smoke pots. Oh and
while fighting you should notice your health bars changed to a cool green.
That's the last color. After a lot of walking you come to a gate.
*****BATTLE 50*****
Cao Pi - 20020
Cao Ren - 14333
Xia Huo Dun - 13665
Rebel Force - 1500
Rebel Force - 1800
Your first battle against the second hardest opponent in the game- Cao Pi.
And, there's a very high chance you will be suprised as you enter the battle.
So you're already starting a turn behind. Get everyone Bei Jied as soon as
possible. Have Jiang Wei use Shui Long at least once, but more times if TP
permits. Save the rest of your points for healing. Basically, gang up on Cao
Pi with power pils before he can An Sha and Hong Shui you to death. He's your
main worry and probably will be a real pain. If you can get him dead its smooth
sailing from there.
******************
Gullwing first back to someplace with Power Pills so you can reload. Then gull
back to Jian Ye, get more Elixer Ds and gulls, heal, and save. Get more smoke
pots, because you've got to take that long hike again. This time we're going
even further. Continue past He Fei fortress where you fought Cao Pi. Go across
one bridge, then another, and then straight down. You will see a castle protected
by some gates. Go in and attack! The first gate is just against some Caos (#51),
but they're weak. The second (#52) is against some Xia Huo's. They're easy, too.
Now, attack Ru Nan.
*****BATTLE 53*****
Cao Pi - 20020
Cao Zhang - 19087
Cao Ang - 18197
Xia Huo Mao - 16504
Rebel Force - 1800
Here's Cao Pi again, this time with a load of strong backup, including the 7th
strongest general in the game, Cao Zhang. Yeah, that says something. You WILL
be caught off guard in this battle, so you'll have a round of beating on you
before you can even get going. Now on your first turn, everyone should use Bei
Ji. Second turn, everyone attack Cao Pi with powerpils except Jiang Wei, using
Huo Shen or Shui Long (depending where you initiated the battle). This will
probably bring Cao Pi down below 5K. Do one more power pill attack and one more
regular on him to kill him. Hopefully he never An Shaed anyone. You should be
strong enough to all out after this to finish them.
But wait! Si Ma Yi has arrived! And he's backstabbing Cao Pi! Sounds like a cool
guy. Well, he kills Cao Pi and gives you his head. However, he says he claims Wei
for his own, then does some crazy thunder on you, and you wake up in Jian Ye.
******************
Heal, save, and go talk to Liu Bei. He says Guan Yu's other son found you unconsious
and brought you back to Jian Ye. He says you should go to Chang Sha to talk to him.
So, do so! When you talk to him he says he knows Si Ma Yi's thunder tactic, and says
the counter is to press up, up, down, down, left, right, up, down before the attack
hits. Also restock on power pills here, and get everyone at least three of them.
Now gullwing back to Jian Ye. Reload on gullwings and elixer Ds. Make sure you
are at least level 44 before heading out. Huang Zhong should have his inventory full
of them since he's not fighting. You will probably get to level 45 on the way.
Upon reaching Ru Nan, touch the castle from the left side, so you are away from the
water, because Si Ma Yi can use Shui Long. When it starts, you will first have to
counter the thunder. If you mess up you are returned to Jian Ye. So don't mess up.
Now, the battle starts.
*****BATTLE 54*****
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Xu Zhu - 20020
Dian Wei - 20020
Rebel Force - 1800
Rebel Force - 1500
You'll probly be caught off guard. Now, do a report on Si Ma Yi. He has 250
intelligence, so he will a) be able to hit any of your guys with his tactics
successfully and b) it will be hard for you to hit him with tactics. He has Huo
Shen and Shui Long, two tactics that hardly any of your opponents had before. He
also has Bei Ji, so his attacks and tactics will be twice strength once he uses
it. In addition, he has Wan Fu, and coupled with his 40K men, will mean a long,
hard, tedious fight. And this isn't the only time you face him- you fight him 2
more times!
Begin this battle with Bei Ji on everyone. Now, focus on killing Xu Zhu, and then
Dian Wei. Don't use power pills - save those for Si Ma Yi. You can use Huo Shen a
few times, but try and save tactic points for healing. You will be healing often
because Si Ma Yi loves to hit everyone for 4K damage with Huo Shen. Do power pil
attacks on Si Ma Yi until you get him down to around or below 10K. But, if you
are in range of killing him in just one more turn, start that turn with Jiang Wei
using Ce Mian so Si Ma Yi can't use Wan Fu. That should work and have him dead.
******************
Enter Ru Nan castle. Heal, and go to the weapon shop. Buy Steel Helmets for everyone.
Now go back to Jian Ye and restock on Elixer Ds and Gullwings, and definately get
some smokepots. Also go to Chang Sha or one of the places that has power pills and
restock until everyone but Jiang Wei has 3, for Jiang should have ressurects.
Save and gull back to Ru Nan and get ready to go through a big cave. Go through the
little niche in the mountains at the back of Ru Nan.
Go left at the first fork, left at the next, and right at the next. Go to the stairs.
Don't worry about treasures you're passing by. They all ****, except one in the cave
we're making sure to get, which is one of the 5 swords. On the next floor go left
and then immediately up, which leads you around to the next stairs. Next part is
very
small, take the next stairs. So is the next. Keep going. On the next floor go towards
the lava and through it. It won't hurt too much. Get only the first chest which has
Wan Sheng in it. Give it to Zhao Yun. The other chests just have armor you don't
need.
Backtrack out of the lava and go up. Take the first set of stairs you see. Go down,
and take the left of the the 3 paths. This takes you out of the cave. However, walking
outside you see yet another cave. Argh. Inside, go left and follow the floor to the
stairs. Go down and curve back up to the stairs downward. Follow that to a Halberd,
the strongest weapon in the game. Give it to Ma Chao, give Nu Long to Zhao Yun, and
Wan Sheng to Jiang Wei. Go back 2 stairs and this time go left at the fork. Follow
this floor (has green ground) until a fork. Go diagonal up-right for Qing Guang.
Give
it to Guan Xing, and give Bo Ye to Zhu Ge Liang or Huang Zhong to hold, though it
doesn't really matter. Go back down, right, up-right, up, and to the stairs. Grab
the chest in your way (power pil) if you want and give it to Ma Chao who has the
best
weapon of anyone. Now you'll get out of the cave.
Odds are you're level 47 by now. Hope you didn't use any tactics on your journey.
You'll need them for the battles ahead. Go north and west to the next gate (#55).
Use Huang Zhong and Zhu Ge Liang's spare elixer Ds to get everyone's HP back up.
Now attack the gate.
*****BATTLE 56*****
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Yang Xiu - 20999
Jiang Gan - 19087
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1500
Uh oh. You may have all your tactic points, elixer Ds, resurrects, power pils, and
the best physical army in the land, but you're up against 2 generals with Wan Fu,
Ji Mian, and Yi Xin. Plus, you're close enough to the water where Si Ma Yi can use
Shui Long and the other two can use Hong Shui. You're in for a rough ride unless
you play your cards right. Start with a round of Bei Jis on everyone except Jiang
Wei, who should use Ce Mian. Gang up on Si Ma Yi with power pills until he is dead,
and whenever Ce Mian runs out, use it again. When Si Ma Yi is dead, you can stop
using power pills and Ce Mian. Take out Yang Xiu and then Jiang Gan. These two
wont last long against an army of Bei Jied warriors.
******************
Go past the fortress and head north to Chin castle.
*****BATTLE 57*****
Xun Huo - 25418
Li Dian - 23103
Wang Shuang - 20999
Rebel Force - 1800
Rebel Force - 1800
Odds are you have between 20 and 40 tactic points left, 0-2 power pils left on
any given man, and you don't want to face another guy with Wan Fu. Don't use
any Bei Jis. Take out Li Dian and Wang Shuang, then slowly work down Xun Huo.
If you heal, make sure you save at least 15 tactic points. When he is in
range of killing in one turn, use Ce Mian. Use your last power pils to kill the
sucker. Take out his lackeys afterwards. If at some time before you kill him
he An Shas someone, use a resurrect and then 3 elixer Ds or 2 and a heal, but
like I said, be penny-pinching with your tactic points so you have that 15.
******************
In Chin castle you find out that Si Ma Yi controls a newly rebuilt Luo Yang castle.
His very strong, intelligent sons are helping him guard it. Sounds like fun.
Walk outside and you see a bridge built. You can go across it and wow! You're right
next to Luo Yang castle! Don't fight yet. Gullwing to Chang Sha or Chang An and
fill up on power pils- 3 for Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Guan Xing, 4 for Ma Chao.
Fill the rest of your space with at least 3 resurrects spread out and at least 1
elixer D per person. Go to Xu Zhou to save. This is the closest place on your gullwing
list that can attack Luo Yang- the path from Yang Zhou has been blocked off.
Blow past the gates of Luo Yang, poorly defended as they are by the last remaining
beleagured troops of Wei. If you're not level 50 by now, get to that by building
up
around Chin. Once level 50, gullwing to Ji Zhou. In there, go around the right wall
to a house, where a man will raise your level to 51. This is the highest level. Cool.
Return to Xu Zhou, heal, and save. If you're fully stocked, attack Luo Yang.
===============================================================================
******************************FINAL BATTLE PART 1******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Ma Shi - 27965
Si Ma Zhao - 30767
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 150
Rebel Force - 150
Alright... let's see. Si Ma Yi's two loving sons which he seems to have raised
well, because they're both very bright people. And they even try to taunt you
into submission before every attack of theirs. What a nice thing to teach your
kids.
Begin the battle with Jiang Wei using Ce Mian and everyone else using Bei Ji.
Each time Ce Mian runs out, use it again. These generals are dangerous and not
afraid to use An Sha and Wan Fu. You will not need tactic points for anything
but Ce Mian, because if you gang up on the two generals one at a time with
powerpils, you can get them dead very quickly (Ma Chao will be doing insanely
high amounts of damage). I really doubt you can get into a very big predicament
fighting them, though I could be wrong. When they're dead, you obviously know
there must be more, because you didn't fight Si Ma Yi. And here he is...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
Si Ma Yi says its his destiny to rule, and you can't prevent. Well you can,
just not in your tacticless condition. Though it may not seem like it, you can
run from this battle. Either do that or use the Gui Han tactic. Fill back up on
powerpils, heal, save, and come back. Now, you will not have to fight his sons,
just the battle against Si Ma Yi and his henchmen.
===============================================================================
******************************FINAL BATTLE PART 2******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Yu Jin - 30767
Wei Xu - 27965
Cheng Yu - 24233
Xu Zhu - 20020
Alright, going into this battle, you should be confident, since you've taken on
all the other foes this game could throw at you, and you outnumber these guys
roughly 5:2 if you're on level 51. You also have the superior brains. Though
they may have infinite TP, you know how to use them better. So, try not to get
frustrated if you get An Shaed or repeatedly Huo Shened when Si Ma Yi is Bei
Jied. Just know that you're superior to these punks.
Kick it off with a round of Bei Ji. Wittle down Cheng Yu until he is dead- he
is the most dangerous, with An Sha in his arsenal. When he's gone you can worry
a bit less and focus on getting the fighter generals out of the way. If at any
time someone dies, use 2 elixer Ds and 1 Jin Xian, to get them back up over 10K,
and repeat this if they fall back under. You should be able to successfully
revive 4 people if everyone has 1-2 elixer Ds.
When only Si Ma Yi is left, spend a few turns attacking, and defend for however
long necessary if he uses Ji Mian. If you get him down to about 15K, Jiang Wei
should use Ce Mian followed by everyone else attacking with powerpils. Odds are
this will kill him. If you accidentally get Si Ma Yi to low on health and he gets
a chance he will Wan Fu and be fresh as new. And he will barage you with Huo Shens
a lot. Hopefully you get him down to the right health and can finish him, because
you only have so many powerpils and TP until you're a goner. If you win, he has
some last sentiments, and then he dies. Yay. Congratulate yourself. Kiss the
nearest person. No more fighting. Now its time for the ending pieces.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
The music changes to that of victory. Ahhh it sounds so sweet. Enter Luo Yang and
gaze upon its majestic looks as a newly rebuild city. Everyone is talking of peace
and happy things. Go to the scribe and invite Liu Bei in. If you want to fight Si
Ma Yi again, don't save.
Enter the palace. Talk to Liu Bei and hear his final speech:
"Zhang Bao, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei, Guan Xing, Ma Chao, Zhu Ge Liang, Huang Zhong,
my people. Finally peace reigns again. I thank you all for your devoted effort.
Through this great trial, I have gained much wisdom. I will rule fairly but with
an iron hand so that no uprising can threaten the peace again."
Now its time for the credits! Yippee! We get to see lots of clips of Liu Bei,
Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in many places they never were together to some funky
music. Woohoo! Between each scene are some names, and portraits are displayed
of characters. Capcom thanks you for playing at the end. Pat yourself on the back,
give yourself a high five, whatever. You just beat on of the coolest RPGs ever.
I haven't tried the sequel, maybe you should try it.

I. About
---------
Destiny of an Emperor, released by Capcom on the NES in 1989, is a very
underrated and not well known RPG. However, it is not only a long and
enjoyable game, but it is based on a true period of ancient Chinese
history, known as the Three Kingdoms period, which lasted about 50
years in the 200s A.D.
If you would like to learn more about this story, there are many websites
that have full information on the spectacular wars and unique people that
shaped this period of the past. The largest site I know of, which covers
every Three Kingdoms game, is www.kongming.net. There you can find full
descriptions and history for any of the amazing characters that you
learn of while playing this game.
--------------------
II. Getting Started
--------------------
An opening sequence shows 3 best friends, warriors Liu Bei, Zhang Fei,
and Guan Yu, swearing an oath of loyalty to each other in a peach garden
in a small village. Afterwards, you learn of recent happenings from a
wise man. In the little village talk to every person. One man, a merchant,
will give you 200 gold and 1,000 rations, which are necessary for the
start of the game. Also, there are two men standing next to each other:
Song Ren and Song Yong. They will add their armies to your cause. However,
they are both very weak. They won't be with you too long, so don't worry.
Before you go outside, make sure to equip Liu Bei's, Guan Yu's, and Zhang
Fei's weapons and armor, and give Liu Bei's dagger to Song Ren. When you
go outside, go directly left to the castle Xu Zhou. When inside, go left
and to the house in the trees. There you will meet Mi Zhe. He will join.
Make him your active tactician. Now, go to the long building, shingled
roof, no curtain on door. There's no name for this place, so we'll call
it the eatery. Go in, and have Song Yong leave your party. He is weaker
than Song Ren and Mi Zhe, and so you don't need him. Also, if you want
a better chance for battles with higher EXP gain, fire Song Yong so you
can fight him out in the open.
Next, if you feel like using any of the 200 gold you started with, you
can go to either of the two shops at the top of the town, one is the
merchant's shop and the other is weapons and armor. Personally, I wait
and save up for Leathers at this time. Whenever you need to heal your
party, go to the closest building to the entrance to the town. That is
the Inn. You can pay a small price there to cure all your armies. And
lastly, to save the game, or in some cases invite Liu Bei to a newly
conquered castle (Liu Bei becomes the emperor later), go to the medium
building, shingle roof, plain door, no window. It's right above the
Eatery and the food shop. You can find out how long you have to wait
until your party increases a level when you save. Also note that
if you ever run out of food, which is seldom because fort and castle
battles give you a lot, you will be losing men every step you take out
in the open, so get to the nearest food store quick.
----------------------------------
III. The Yellow Scarves Rebellion
----------------------------------
Now go to the palace and talk to the king. He says he is sick, and will
make you his heir if you defeat the Yellow Scarves. So, our mission
will be to crush the rebellion. For starters, your generals armies are
very weak right now and you have little equipment. Spend time fighting
battles outside against rebel, bandit, pirate, and brigand forces, and
the occasional random general(s). You should get to level 4 before our
next task, and have leathers for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. and maybe a few
bandanas to go around. Some elixer As wouldn't hurt, either. When you
have done all this, follow the path directly west of Xu Zhou. Touch the
camp entrance and Zhang Bao will make a threat to you, and the battle
begins.
*****BATTLE 1*****
Zhang Bao - 299
Chen Yuan Zhi - 195
Rebel Force - 140
This is a rather easy fight. Start out by having Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and
Guan Yu attack Zhang Bao, and have Song Ren and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo on
Chen Yuan Zhi. Zhang Bao and Chen Yuan Zhi can both use Lian Huo, but
rarely will it hurt. Once you have both of them down to below 100 men
each, do an all out and finish them off. Zhang Bao will say you are too
strong, and retreat.
******************
Enter the large middle tent in the camp and search the corner pot. You
will find an Ax. Give it to Zhang Fei or Guan Yu. Give the replaced Flail
to Song Ren, and his dagger to Mi Zhi. You should've gotten up to level 5
from that battle and learned Chi Xin. If so, go back to Xu Xhou, heal,
and save. If not, fight random battles until you're at level 5. Then,
head south of Xu Zhou and you will find another camp. Zhang Jao mentions
you routing his brother and says the guy was a fool anyways. Now he gives
out a threat! Time to fight!
*****BATTLE 2*****
Zhang Jao - 346
Zheng Mao - 153
Han Zhong - 204
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 100
This battle is a bit tougher than the last one, but not by much. Have
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu attack to get Han Zhong below 100 men,
and have Song Ren and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo to bring down Zheng Mao. Once
they're below 100, concentrate on just attacking Zhang Jao. Use Chi Xin
to heal if necessary, and if Zhang Jao heals one of the other two generals,
attack them again. After Zhang Jao has less that 100 men, do an all out
attack. The battle will end shortly, and Zhang Jao will retreat.
******************
In the camp, enter the largest middle tent and obtain an Ax from a treasure
chest. Equip it on Zhang Fei or Guan Yu, whoever didn't get the last one.
After this, return to Xu Zhou, heal, save, and then go north to Qing Zhou.
DO NOT ATTACK THIS CASTLE FROM THE FRONT! You would be confronted by Zhang
Jao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Zheng Mao, and Chen Yuan Zhi. The result would
not be pretty. Instead, move around to the back of the entrance and press
the castle from there. You will only meet up with Zhang Liang.
*****BATTLE 3*****
Zhang Liang - 259
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 100
Zhang Lian has no tactics. Immediately all out attack. If any of your men
look about to die, pull out and use Chi Xin to heal them. This shouldn't
happen, though.
******************
After the battle, DO NOT try and enter the city! You have not taken it over
yet. If you do attack, you will be faced with all those generals I stated
previously. However, you should now see a cave opened up behind Qing Zhou.
Don't go in yet, because you can't get through if you're not a Yellow Scarves
rebel. What you must do is wander the country until you meet up with Han
Zhong, whose loyalty to Zhang Jao is quavery. If you battle him, you will
capture him, but he may request a steed or money upon joining. Make sure
you have a steed on hand, they can be bought at the merchant shop in Xu
Zhou.
Once Han Zhong is on your side, heal, save, and enter the cave. Put Han
Zhong in front of your party, and talk to the man by the water. He will make
a bridge. You may return Liu Bei to the front of your line, now.
Cross, and then go left and up to get an Ax from a treasure chest.
Equip it on whom you please, preferably Liu Bei. This cave is very small and
easy to navigate. Find 3 men standing side by side. They are the Zhang brothers.
Fight them.
*****BATTLE 4*****
Zhang Jao - 346
Zhang Bao - 299
Zhang Liang - 259
Your armies are now pitted against the 3 strong generals who previously
retreated from you. However, you hold the brains and the superior numbers,
so this will be a swift and sure battle. Have Liu Bei, Han Zhong, Zhang Fei,
and Guan Yu all attack Zhang Liang and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo on him, to wipe
out his army first, because his is the smallest and physically strongest.
After he is dead, go for Zhang Bao, but don't use tactics on him. Tactics
are generally less effective against opposing tacticians. Heal your forces
when necessary. Once he is dead, all out verses Zhang Jao. He may be able
to use Chi Xin, but it won't make up for all the damage you do to him.
Once they're all dead, you can wipe the dust off your armor with their faces
for all I care. The rebellion is over.
******************
Exit the cave through the entrance in front of you. Enter Qing Zhou and go
to the house up and to the right. Enter and talk to Chen Deng. He will join
your force. Replace Han Zhong with him, because he has higher attack and
much higher intelligence. You can make him your tactician, though he has
the same intelligence as Mi Zhi.
--------------
IV. Dong Zhou
--------------
Return to Xu Zhou and talk to the king, who is lying on the bed in the
back room. He will give up his rule to Liu Bei, who will in turn leave
you in order to stay and rule. However, his son, Liu Fend, will be a
worthy replacement, with more men, and slightly higher strength.
Save the game and head south as far as you can go, until you get to
another fort you haven't been to yet. When you enter, Sun Ce (ruler of
the Wu kingdom) tells you he attacked, but failed because Dong Zhou's
forces were too strong, and Yuan Shu didn't send reinforcements.
He leaves you. Don't worry, this battle isn't at all as tough as Sun Ce
said.
*****BATTLE 5*****
Hua Xiong - 439
Li Su - 299
Rebel Force - 100
Rebel Force - 100
Rebel Force - 140
These enemies know no tactics, so an all out straight from the start wouldn't
be suicide, except that Xua Xiong has 162 strength, almost twice as much
as any general you've fought so far! Plus, his immense army will take a few
turns to bring down. Attack him and have Mi Zhi / Chen Deng use Lian Huo.
When Hua Xiong is dead, all out to destroy the rest of them.
******************
In the camp, go to the back and talk to Yang Jin, who will join you. Have him
replace Mi Zhi. Then, go into the right tent for an Ax. In the middle tent
you'll find an Inn. Stay there if you must. Go back outside. If you want to
go back to Xu Zhou to save, you may. Once ready, walk 8 paces west and 1 pace
south of the entrance of the camp. Search the spot and find Chi Tu Ma, who is
Lu Bu's best horse (you'll meet Lu Bu soon). The person who has Chi Tu Ma will
be MUCH faster in battle, and probably go first every turn. I suggest giving
it to Zhang Fei, if you want his strong attack first, or to your best tactic
user, so you can get healings and other tactics in before other attacks in
a battle.
**Note: From here on for a while, make sure to always have a steed with you.
Be on the lookout for Hua Xiong, and if you fight him, hopefully you can capture
him! He can replace Yang Jin.**
Travel west of the camp and immediately upwards to the cave there. On the first
level of the cave, go either all the way left or right, go to the back of the
floor, take the stairs and get about 1,000 coins in a chest. Return to the
entrance to the cave. Go up the middle, go left or right, and take the fork
downward. On the next floor, walk until there is a big fork. Go downward. Take
the stairs, and on the next floor go left and up to the stairs. Obtain the Gold
Key. Make your way back out of the cave. At the entrance, Guan Ping will be waiting
there. He is VERY strong. Replace whatever tactician you have in your battle lineup
with Guan Ping. Now leave and return to Xu Zhou to heal and save.
Also get some more Elixer As while you're there. Go back to where the fork in
the mountains by the cave is and go west. You will come to a fort- here you will
face the mighty Lu Bu for the first time.
*****BATTLE 6*****
Lu Bu - 439
Li Ru -
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 120
Just one report on Lu Bu will tell you he is the strongest general in the game.
Thus, he is very dangerous to you and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Note that Guan Yu has very high intelligence- he will be using tactics for this
battle. Have him keep doing Ye Huo on Lu Bu while everyone else attacks him
until he is dead. Once he is, Li Ru shouldn't be too much trouble, and the battle
will go quickly from there. After a threat, Lu Bu retreats.
******************
In this fort, go right and talk to Huo Hu, who joins you. Replace your current
tactician with him. Now enter the central tent with the bushes around it. Talk
to Cao Cao, who is the leader of the Imperial Army. He talks of not being able
to catch Dong Zhou and says that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have gone ahead to the
castle of Lou Yang and he goes there also.
Exit the camp, and return all the way back to Xu Zhou to heal and save. Drop
off your old tactician, and replenish any Elixer As you've used up. You should
have at least one on each person. Also get a few Gullwings for easy travel back
Xu Zhou when you need it.
Now then, travel north and west of fort Hu Lao Guan to get to Lou Yang. You will
have to fight a few battles at gates before you fight the battle at the castle.
Battles 7 and 8 will be walks in the park. However, the one at the castle will
be just a little bit tougher. A general (I'm not sure who) will tell you he
failed to take Lou Yang because Dong Zhou and Lu Bu are working together, and
then he leaves you. But I think you can take on this next battle.
*****BATTLE 9*****
Dong Zhou - 439
Lu Bu - 439
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 180
OK- Dong Zhou doesn't have as much strength as Lu Bu, but he does have 20 more
attack power, making him just as dangerous. They both have a lot of men... but
you should take down Lu Bu first, because his attack is still the greatest.
Have everyone attack except Guan Yu who should use Ye Huo. If you want more
firepower, have Liu Feng use Ye Huo also, for he has very high intelligence
also. Just be ready for big attacks from the enemies each turn until you have
them both dead, because they still do a fair amount with under 100 men. When
it is over, Dong Zhou and Lu Bu will retreat.
******************
When you talk into Lou Yang, you will see it has been burned and pillaged. This
once grand capitol of China has been put to ruin. There are only 2 buildings
you can enter. Bottom middle is an Inn, and top left is a house. In the floor
in that house is a safe. Open it with the gold key to find the Gem sword. It
is not a weapon. Give it to Zhang Fei for later use.
Leave the city and continue westward to the next castle, where you shall fight
Lu Bu once again. Make sure Zhang Fei is at the front of your army for this
battle.
*****BATTLE 9*****
Lu Bu - 439
Cai Yong - 380
Hu Zhen - 299
Rebel Force - 150
Rebel Force - 120
On your first turn, have Zhang Fei use the Gem Sword on Lu Bu. When Zhang Fei
uses the Gem Sword on Lu Bu, he will give a speech and then join you. He talks
of Chi Tu Ma, whom you already got earlier.
Now this battle is a cinch without Lu Bu fighting you. Just take care of these
two loser generals the usual way.
******************
After the battle, replace Hua Xiong with Lu Bu in your lineup. Enter Yang Zhou
castle. Stay at the Inn, then save. You cannot invite Liu Bei here, though it
would seem you could because of the palace. Also, go to the lower right house
and search in the pot for a Club. Give this to Lu Bu, and give his Ax to whoever
is still using a flail. Also give Lu Bu Chi Tu Ma, because you want his super
high attack to go first during battle.
As soon as you leave the city, you will see another cave. Inside, go left at
the first fork, and down at the next. On the next floor, grab the Club in the
chest above you. Give it to Zhang Fei. Now go down and left and to the first
staircase you see. This leads to the way out. I suggest you not go to Chang An
right now. Fight some random battles in the area, and when you need healing
go back to Yang Zhou. Always keep some gullwings with you. When you are ready
to attack Chang An, go up to the gate before it to fight the first battle.
*****BATTLE 10*****
Dong Min - 380
Fen Chou - 399
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 180
Fen Chou has the great attack, so kill him first. All out once he is dead.
******************
Now attack Chang An castle.
*****BATTLE 11*****
Dong Zhou - 439
Jia Xu - 418
Zhang Ji - 362
If you had not brought Lu Bu to your side earlier, you would be fighting him
now. This battle is much easier with him on your side. Have all physical attacks
go on Jia Xu until he is dead, and have Guan Yu keep using Shui Xing and Ye Huo
on Dong Zhou and Zhang Ji. Jia Xu is very dangerous, because he uses Shui Zing
a lot, and it hurts. Be proud of yourself when this battle has ended. Dong Zhou
is killed and peace returns to Chang An...
******************
------------
V. Yuan Shu
------------
Now you enter Chang An. It is a giant monster of a city- the biggest in the game.
It is a paradise. This will be your main headquarters until you occupy Nan Yang,
much later. List of things to do here include buying Caps and Clubs for everyone,
stocking up on Elixers and Power Pills, and inviting Liu Bei to the palace. When
he has arrived, go speak with him. He tells you you've done a good job fighting
and he lets you rest. He awakens you however, and summons you to the palace. A
messanger has arrived from Cao Cao bringing ill news. He says general Yuan Shu
has somehow aquired the Imperial Seal and calls himself the Emperor. This is a
problem that must be fixed!
Leave Chang An and travel south. Take the right fork through the mountains. The
house you see to the left is not important until later. Attack the castle you
see ahead.
*****BATTLE 12*****
Lei Bo - 643
Chen Ji - 531
Rebel Force - 200
Rebel Force - 220
This generals may see to have overwhelmingly large armies, but their attacks
are really not great, and neither of them use tactics. Wipe out Lei Bo with
attacks and Guan Yu using Shui Xing. Then all out to kill the rest of them.
******************
This is Yuan castle. Not a very important place. However, you can buy Padded
armors here, which are much stronger than Leather armors. Buy as many as you
can, but they are expensive. Give them first to anyone still wearing a Robe.
Leave and continue south. From here on you will be fighting many generals
with upwards of 500 men, and Rebel, Pirate, Brigand, and Bandit forces now
have over 200 men apiece. Take the shortcut through the mountains and go west.
You will come to a castle where you will fight two very powerful generals.
*****BATTLE 13*****
Ji Ling - 613
Zhang Xun - 675
Rebel Force - 230
Both of these generals have insanely large armies and attack to rival any
of your generals due to the high AP they are given in this battle coupled
with their almost 200 strength each. They are both equally dangerous, so
use Power Pills to kill them quickly, and also have Guan Yu use Shui Xing.
Tactics will be more effective than physical damage because both generals
have very high defense. Once one of the two is defeated, then it should be
safe to all out attack. **Note: These are the two strongest capturable
men before Nan Yang, and I highly advise you to spend time trying to find
and capture them so they can fight for you. Have the first of two you catch
replace Liu Feng and the second replace Guan Ping.**
******************
This is Huai Nan castle. Fairly small, but you can both heal and save here.
Spend some time in the field north of here trying to find Zhang Xun and Ji
Ling before you go any further. You want those two generals ASAP. Also,
around this point in the game, your health bars will change from pink to
orange, because the number of men generals are getting is too great for
the pink scale.
There is a small fortress just to the north of here. The battle is of no
importance to you. You will flatten it. Even farther north is a cave. It
is medium sized and has only 2 floors and then a little one. It is not
hard to navigate and contains 3 spears, so take a trip into it with some
elixers on hand.
Once you are about level 14, return to Huai Nan castle, heal and save.
Now venture northward towards Nan Yang castle. The two gate battles are
sinchy, just squash them. Now to Nan Yang.
*****BATTLE 17*****
Yuan Shu - 899
Yuan Yin - 643
Lu Fan - 817
Rebel Force - 250
Nan Yang would've been much tougher had you not had Lu Bu, because then
there would be a mighty fighter against you as well as all the tacticians.
Luckily, only Yuan Shu has somewhat of an attack. Focus on taking him out
first, with everyone attacking except Guan Yu who should use Yan Re, which
you learned at level 14. This battle may take a bit because all these
generals can heal, but if you have power pills, you should be able to pick
off one or two of them in one round apiece. Watch out for your health- have
Zhang Xun heal if you're low (he has lowest attack). After the battle is
over, you're given the choice weather or not to kill Yuan Shu for being a
traitor, but you actually have to let him go. Oh well.
******************
--------------
VI. Yuan Shao
--------------
Now that the battle is over, DO NOT TAKE A STEP NORTHWARD. Just enter Nan
Yang RIGHT AWAY. Once you've gone in and healed and saved, take off all
of Lu Bu's items and give them to Guan Ping, who will replace him. Give
Chi Tu Ma to Zhang Fei now, though. He will keep him for a while. Now
when you step outside and go a few steps north, you will be met with a
horrifying battle. You don't have to fight this one, though. Yuan Shao and
Yuan Shu show up with immense armies and backing generals, and bully you
for a turn. Lu Bu switches sides, seeing that he is on the "losing" side.
That's why you took his stuff away.
Now go back inside the castle and heal. Invite Liu Bei in and talk to him.
He will thank you for killing Yuan Shu, but this is a typo. You didn't kill
him and he's off with his big brother. Also, go to the northest corner of
the town and talk to a man walking around. Buy the key from him, even though
4,000 is a lot, it is more than worth it later.
Above Nan Yang you will face slightly harder rebel and other forces, but not
very much harder. However now a new group of generals will meet you out in the
open, and many now have over 1000 men and over 150 strength. The key to
fighting them is to get their health below 1,000 as soon as possible. Above
that number, their attacks will be great, but below they will be just average
of what you're used to.
Head north and west of Nan Yang and take a stop in a small cave. There are 2
people in here, and one you can't reach now. The one you can talk to is Zhou
Cang, who will join voluntarily. He is stronger than Guan Ping, so replace him
with Zhou Cang.
Once you are at least level 15, head north and east to Bo Hai castle.
*****BATTLE 18*****
Lu Guang - 1037
Shen Pei - 1255
Gao Lan - 942
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 230
This is your first castle battle against generals of this caliber, and 2 of
them have over 1,000 men. Luckily, one is a weak tactician, and the other will
fall below 1,000 in just 1 attack. Simply, attack Lu Guang once, then focus
attacks on Shen Pei until he is dead. Have Guan Yu use Yan Re every turn.
Once Shen Pei is dead, then you can choose to all out or kill Lu Guang first,
then all out. Shouldn't make much difference, just watch your health, because
no one in your party is really higher than 700 men, if any.
******************
In Bo Hai, heal, then enter the left of the double house. Get the Gun Powder
and go to the cave in the west. Use the powder to free Xu Zhe who is trapped.
He will join you. Make him your tactician, because he is very intelligent.
Note that he is going by the name Dan Fu, so there's no confusion. Now with
him you can get past the woman blocking the bridge in Bo Hai. Get Wood Helmets
for at least Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and if funds permit, for other generals
in the front of your group.
Continue east of Bo Hai until you see a gate in the middle of nowhere. Attack.
*****BATTLE 19*****
Xu Shou - 1255
Yan Liang - 1381
Wen Hun - 1449
Rebel Force - 230
This is a hard battle, but though you're outnumbered, you are a human and they
are just NES intelligence. Wen Hun and Yan Liang have two insanely high attacks,
and with their HP are hard to get below 1,000 immediately. In fact it will take
at least 3 turns to get all generals below 1,000. Xu Shou has Yan Re and is not
afraid to use it. Be ready to heal anyone who gets down to around 250, because
they could be killed in one turn by consecutive hits on their armies. The main
thing is to focus on Xu Shou and kill him, after Wen Hun and Yan Liang are
under 1K men. Guan Yu should be using Yan Re every turn. Once you have routed
this enemy force, you should be proud. Now, you will not face any of them again,
which means if you meet up with Wen Hun or Yan Liang out in the open, hope that
you can convert them, for they are as you saw very powerful.
******************
Enter this fortress and free the girl behind the bars. She gives you a letter.
Before we do anything with this, you should go back to Nan Yang to heal and save.
Also consider getting to level 17. Try to capture Wen Hun and Yan Liang or at
least one of the two. Lu Guang is also pretty good. Now, travel to the castle
east of Bo Hai. Go ahead and "go in", but actually this just gives the game a
chance for you to talk to Zhao Yun. Show him the letter from his sister and he
joins you. Fit him into your team, because he is one of the 5 what are called
"Tiger" generals. He gains men every level, and has insanely high attack and
intelligence. When the end of the game comes he will be your best man all
around. Now, attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 20*****
Yuan Tan - 1594
Yuan Xi - 1519
Tian Feng - 1141
Rebel Force - 270
Attack Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi using power pills with Zhang Fei and whatever
random generals you have. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun should use Yan Re every
turn. Once Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are below one thousand, concentrate attacks
on Tian Feng until he is dead. Once he is gone, all out attack.
******************
Now enter this castle, which is Guang Zong. Heal, and save (the building is
at the far end of the city). Do not talk to the pink and white general in
the middle until you've saved. Ok, now talk to him. He is blood of Yuan
Shu and Yuan Shao, and he wants to kill you.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Yuan Shang - 1672
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 300
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 300
Yuan Shang is a strong general. However, with only Rebel Forces as backup,
you can take him down quickly. Have Guan Yu and Zhao Yun use Yan Re, and
everyone else attack him. If he is not below 1000, then do another round,
all attacking him. Watch out in case he uses Yan Re, for he is a capable
tactician. Now, you can all out to kill him and any remaining rebel
forces.
******************
Heal and save again, and continue eastward towards Ji Zhou, the castle
where Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Lu BU, and others await you. Defeat the gate
battles (#22 and 23, no special strats needed), and return to Guang Zong
for a quick heal/save. If you are not level 18, get there, so Zhang Fei
will have a little over 1,000 men. Make sure to get all generals at least
2 power pils and 1 elixer B each. Now, attack Ji Zhou.
Yuan Shao will again say you killed his brother, but that makes no sense
because he's in this next battle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Yuan Shao - 1754
Yuan Shu - 899
Zhang He - 1317
Ju Shou - 1449
Lu BU - 1449
THIS BATTLE IS HARD, and in fact harder than first glance. Not only do
all these generals, and there are 5 of them, have a mass army of over
7,000 men, but each of them is a strong fighter except Ju Shou, and all
are expert tacticians except Lu Bu. Note that Lu Bu has now about 1,500
hit points, and will be doing over 300 damage a hit until brought down,
and 150 until he is defeated. Basically, we take this battle slowly, one
step at a time. First turn, have Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Fei use
power pills to attack Lu Bu. Have Guan Yu use Ji Rou to reduce enemy
attacks, and Zhao Yun use Yan Re. Hopefully Zhang Fei got to do his attack
before he was knocked below 1,000. He should do between 300 and 400 damage.
Odds are you took some heavy damage, so have Guan Yu use Yin Xian now.
Concentrate attacks and Lu Bu, and keep using Yan Re with Zhou Yun. save
your power pills for Yuan Shao, whom you will kill last. After Lu Bu is
dead, focus on Ju Shou. Go up the enemy line from him, killing them one
by one. When only Yuan Shao is left, have everyone attack with power pils.
Congratulate yourself, a lot, when they are all defeated.
******************
---------------------------
VII. Fighting in Jing Zhou
---------------------------
Enter Ji Zhou, heal, save, and invite Liu Bei in. Talk to him and he tells
you the land of Jing Zhou is in turmoil and you need to stop the fighting
there. Before heading off, buy 3 sabres, for Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang
Fei. I'd have you buy more, but only 2 towns away is your next weapon, which
though expensive is very awesome, and you should save your money for some.
Gullwing back to Nan Yang and save. Go left now and down the path. Following
this path you will go by 4 houses, and then come to a castle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Jin Xuan - 1317
Gong Zhi - 1197
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 300
Simple battle. All out if you want. These are not dangerous enemies.
******************
Enter Wu Ling castle. Heal, leave, and continue eastward along the path.
Before attacking the next castle, which is hard, get to level 19. When
you're ready, attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Han Xuan - 1519
Huang Zhong - 1381
Wei Yan - 1317
Yang Ling - 1197
Rebel Force - 300
This battle has 2 of the strongest men in the game fighting you. Huang Zhong
and Wei Yan. Basically, have Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Fei keep attacking
Huang Zhong and then Wei Yan, and Zhao Yun should keep using Yan Re. Once they
are dead, kill Yang Ling, and then allout to kill Han Xuan.
******************
Entering Chang Sha you see Huang Zhong and Wei Yan standing in the way. They
will join you now. Replace Wen Hun and Yan Liang with them. Now, go to the
weapon shop and buy as many Bows as you can afford. Now heal, leave, and go
south. Enter the castle you see; you don't have to fight your way in. Go to
the palace and talk to the leader. He will show you to your sleeping quarters.
Then, he will attack you in your sleep. You wake up and enter a battle, with
severely reduced armies.
*****BATTLE 22*****
Zhao Fan - 1594
Bao Long - 1255
Chen Ying - 1197
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 380
The only challenge to this battle is everyone starts with 200-300 men. Have
Wei Yan use Yin Xian right away, and have everyone else attack Zhao Fan, but
have Zhao Yun use Yan Re. Once everyone is back up to regular health, this
fight will be a cinch.
******************
Now this town becomes completely docile. You can heal and save here, and
invite Liu Bei in. He will siimply tell you that the fighting in Jing Zhou
needs to be stopped. Guess its up to you to stop it. Every fight between
here and the next castle will be simple because of your almighty bows. All
out against anyone. The fight at the gate (#23) is simple. Now for the
castle, which is not much harder.
*****BATTLE 24*****
Liu Du - 1672
Xing Da o Rong - 1519
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 350
Bows must be the cheapest weapons in the game. These battles are too easy
with them. Oh well, guess its a lot quicker. The end of this battle restores
peace to Jing Zhou.
******************
Enter Ling Ling castle. Heal and save. If you try and invite Liu Bei here,
the scribe will say that Liu Bei is going to Gui Yang, the last castle you
were at. You should visit him in a bit. First, go around the edge of the town
to a house on the left, and search in front of the man inside. You'll find a
sword. Equip it on Zhang Fei. It is only 1 attack, but does as much as 2 bow
hits would. Though he won't get two hits anymore, now Power Pils can be used
effectively again for hits of over 1000 damage.
Now go back to Liu Bei in Gui Yang. You will probably meet up with a mighty
tactician named Pang Tong on the way back...
*****BATTLE 25*****
Pang Tong - 3765
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 320
Rebel Force - 320
Pang Tong is... well strong. He has quite a good few men, and very advanced
tactics such as Ji Mian, which stops you from attacking, Da Re, a fire spell
capable of huge damage to one army, and Wan Fu, which allows a full heal of
the target army. Ouch. Well, just never cease to attack Pang Tong. When hurt,
heal. However, with your bows, you can kill him in two turns flat, and so
just hope he doesn't use any of his big guns.
******************
When he's defeated, he'll join you. Yay. Replace Xu Zhe with him, and if you
wish, put him in your battle party in place of Huang Zhong, due to his sheer
mass of men and great tactical capablities. But, on the other hand, greater
attack is better for now. Just let Pang Tong do his stuff from behind the
fight. When you get back to Gui Yang, Liu Bei gives you a letter for Xu Zhe
saying he needs to leave to care for his sick mother. Good thing you have
Pang Tong. When you walk out of the palace, Xu Zhe says something he almost
forgot. He is telling you to go see Zhu Ge Liang at his house, which is
the third one down to the left of Nan Yang. Go there. Stock up on Gull Wings,
you're gonna need em. Also note that the game music has now changed from the
fun, upbeat squeeky noise, to a more mellow, epic sort of sound. This is how
it will be until the end of the game.
*****Zhu Ge Liang Scavenger Hunt*****
When you arrive at Zhu Ge Liang's house, he is not there. You must go to Lou
Sang villiage, where you began the game. Gullwing to Xu Zhou. Enter the small
house and ask the man there, who will say Zhu Ge Liang was there but left.
Now go back to his house, and the man there will refer you to Nan Yang. Go to
Nan Yang, invite Liu Bei in. Talk to him and he says someone named Jin came
and was looking for you. Now go back to Zhu Ge Liang's house one last time.
You see Zhu Ge Liang sleeping. Talk to him but choose not to wake him, and
he will awaken by himself. He says he will join but go to Gui Yang castle
first.
Now gullwing to Chang Sha and go down to Gui Yang and meet up with him
in the palace. Finally! In rapid succession you just got the 2 best tacticians
in the game. However, you can only use one of them, so you should make Zhu Ge
Liang the acting strategist and now if you want, put Pang Tong into your party
in place of Wei Yan. Also, around this time, your health bars should change
from orange to light yellow.
Now, go west to Ling Ling castle, heal, and save, and venture onward. Soon
you should meet up with a pretty crazy battle...
*****BATTLE 26*****
Lu Bu - 7003
Rebel Force - 700
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is easier than it looks, though Lu Bu will take a while to kill,
and he does around 800 damage a hit. Best ways to deal with him are power
pils. If you have the tactic Da Re, it is also very effective, so have Guan
Yu, Zhao Yun, and Pang Tong use it, while the others attack. Hopefully Lu
Bu doesn't get any critical attacks before you kill him (and this time, you
kill him for good). Also, if you have Bei Ji, that would be great right now,
for double attacks. Yi Xin can also be good, to prevent Lu Bu from attacking.
Whatever you do, just have fun killing the stupid traitor.
******************
Return to Ling Ling to heal and save. Now, I suggest you spend a lot of time
building up levels, at least to 25. Yes it may seem like a lot, but this new
area we've entered has many new generals and the rebel forces all have many
more men. Plus, experience should come pretty quickly. Also note that from
this point on there will be no more pirate, brigand, or bandit forces. Only
rebel forces. Something else to keep in mind: make sure that Zhang Fei has
your one sword equipped right now. Always keep him with at least 2 power pills
at hand. Give Chi Tu Ma to Pang Tong. Then, if you get into a battle with
some really big armies against you, have Pang Tong use Bei Ji and then Zhang
Fei use a power pill- he will deal over 2,000 damage! Hong Shui is another
great tactic right now. When near water, you can have Pang Tong deal over
1,000 damage to every opponent! Ouch.
Travel past Ling Ling, down, up, around, down, left, etc... until you reach
a house between some mountains. This is the gateway into the kingdom of Shu,
a land ruled by Liu Bei's brother which is in turmoil right now. Time for
you to step in. Before stepping in, make sure to have elixer Cs for everyone.
----------
VIII. Shu
----------
Head west until you reach a fortress.
*****BATTLE 27*****
Liu Kui - 3262
Zhang Ren - 3262
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
There are no tacticians on the other team, so this fight is pretty simple.
Use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and just have everyone attack, on Zhang Ren first
and then Liu Kui. Should be dead in a few turns.
******************
There is nothing of interest in this fortress. Continue northward. You will
go through a series of twisting mountain paths. Also watch out around here,
for you can meet up with Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who are two of the strongest
generals in the game, especially Ma Chao. Eventually you will reach a castle
with a gate. Defeat the gate (#28) and attack Fu Shui castle.
*****BATTLE 29*****
Yan Yan - 3262
Fa Zheng - 2965
Yang Huai - 2965
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
These opponents are all very capable. Yan Yan is both an expert fighter and
a superb tactician. Yang Huai's attack is nothing to scoff at, either. I
suggest you use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and have everyone attack except Pang Tong
who should use Da Re on Yan Yan or Yang Huai. When they're dead, all out to
win.
******************
Enter Fu Shui castle, heal, and save. Enter the palace, which cannot entertain
Liu Bei. Go through the door to the right, and then you see a prison cell. Keep
pushing your character against it, repeatedly tapping, or backing away and
running into it. Eventually the door will break. Then talk to the man. Now go
to the weapons shop. If you feel like making the switch from Bow to Sword, you
can. You should probably just keep your bows until the next weapon after sword
comes along. Also get copper helmets.
Head northward once you are at least level 26. Attack the gate at the next
castle (#30, I suggest using Hong Shui for an easy win). Now, let's attack Lou
castle.
*****BATTLE 31*****
Ma chao - 3262
Ma Dai - 3110
Pang De - 2965
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is hard. You are facing Ma Chao, one of the 5 Tiger generals (you
have 4 on your side right now), Ma Dai, his almost as strong brother, and Pang
De, an obvious relative of Pang Tong and also an expert tactician. All of his
tactics are dangerous to you, so I would recommend killing him first. But to
start this battle, have Pang Tong use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and have everyone
else cast it on themselves except Zhang Fei, who should use a power pill on
Ma Chao. Next turn, have Pang Tong use Da Re on Ma Dai, and have everyone else
attack Ma Chao, except zhang Fei who should use another power pil, on Pang De.
After this turn, there shouldn't be much left of your opponent. All out attack
to defeat them. Now, Ma Chao and Ma Dai will join you. Put Ma Chao in your line
up in place of Huang Zhong, but keep him with you. Keep Ma Dai in the reserve.
We still want Pang Tong leading the party.
******************
Enter Lou Castle. Note that you can gullwing here, so you can now go between
older cities and here easily. Heal here, and go somewhere else to save if you
want. Continue south of Lou and you come to a cave. In this cave is the Iron
Ore, which you will really want. The cave is relatively small. Take the lower
of the 2 pathways left at the beginning and its straight directions from there
to the Iron Ore. Gullwing out to Lou when you have it. Then go back to Fu Shui,
go a bit south of there, and hook around back up to a house, and give the ore
to the blacksmith. Gullwing back to Lou, and return to Mt. Gang Tai (the cave).
Take the path upwards this time to get through.
When outside, go down and left, then hook back up to a fortress. This battle
consists only of weak generals that you've probably faced many times out in
the open before. Do not hesitate to kick their asses.
Enter Mian Zhu Guan fortress. In the leftmost tent, there is a treasure chest
with a battleax in it. Give the battleax to Zhang Fei and his Sword to Ma Chao.
Leave and continue onwards. Attack the gate at the next castle.
*****BATTLE 33*****
Lei Tong - 3110
Wu Lan - 2965
Rebel Force - 850
Rebel Force - 850
Rebel Force - 1000
Though Lei Tong and Wu Lan both have great attacks, you totally outnumber them,
outsmart them, and out hit them. Plus you've faced them both many times. Time
to whoop them.
******************
Now Cheng Du
*****BATTLE 34*****
Liu Zheng - 4142
Gao Pei - 2872
Wu Yi - 3589
Wang Lei - 2827
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is much easier than it looks. The big "bad guy" Liu Zheng is very
weak in strength and intelligence, despite his mass of soldiers. Gao Pei and Wu
Yi are moderate, but you've beaten them before. Wang Lei is just crap. Use Bei
Ji on Zhang Fei with his battleax, then have him power-pill attack Liu Zheng
and then Wu Yi. Kiss them goodbye. Pang Tong should Bei Ji Zhang Fei the first
turn, then do Da Re on Gao Pei. Everyone else can attack whoever. Voila, you win,
Liu Bei now rules Shu.
******************
In Cheng Du, heal, save, and invite Liu Bei in. He says something about the
blacksmith and your swords. Don't worry about that yet. Go buy battleaxes
for everyone who doesn't have one yet (except of course Zhu Ge Liang). Get Chain
Mails for everyone. Don't go back to the swordsmith yet. Spend some time around
here facing battles and owning with your battleaxes. You can gain some quick
levels. Get to at least level 29.
Ok, now go to the swordsmith's house. He tells you he made 5 great swords and
tells you what he named them. But they were stolen! Oh no! Don't worry. You'll
find them in various places later on.
Return to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei. He gives you a speech about how the
world is all good right now, but he says Shu is too vast for him to control
alone, so he makes Guan Yu the ruler of Chang Sha and Zhang Fei the ruler of
Gui Yang. This is to help keep the peace in Jing Zhou, a very hostile area.
But suddenly something happens. Some time passes, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
have left. Now two messengers come and say that Cao Cao and Sun Ce both died.
Uh oh. And, Wu is attacking Jing Zhou, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are barely
holding on. You must go help them. First, gullwing to Chang Sha. Go to the
palace and speak with Guan Yu, who offers his son to join your army. Good!
Do the same at Gui Yang where Zhang Fei's son will join you. Alright, awesome.
They are both a bit weaker in stats than their fathers but have the same men
and all the stuff the two dads left with.
Go back to Cheng Du and speak to Liu Bei. He says that Wu has invaded Jing Zhou.
Head to Wu Ling first and fight the enemies there.
*****BATTLE 35*****
Fan Zhang - 4780
Chen Wu - 5014
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 300
Rebel Force - 320
This is your first fight against generals from Wu. These two are sort of strong,
but with power pils and you battle axes, you'll have them routed in no time.
******************
Head to Gui Yang. Heal, save, and reload on power pils. Now go to Ling Ling to
fight.
*****BATTLE 36*****
Ling Tong - 5516
Wu Fan - 5014
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 380
This battle is just as easy as the last one, because Ling Tong isn't that strong
and Wu Fan doesn't have any dangerous tactics. Use power pils and whoop them.
******************
-------
IX. Wu
-------
Get back to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei again. He gives another speech, and this
time you'll do some butting in also. At the end of the speech, 3 people now claim
the title of emperor. Woah. Go back to Gui Yang and you will find a bridge there
now. Woah, cool. You can cross it and explore a bit if you want, but until you
are level 31, stay close to Gui Yang. There are dozens of new generals in Wu,
and many of them have immense strength, armies reaching over 10,000, and very
vicious tactics. Stay near water, because Pang Tong can use Shui Long to do over
2,000 damage to every enemy. Always keep a fresh supply of power pils, especially
on Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who are your strongest attackers now. At level 30, your
health bars should change to light blue.
At level 31, heal and save. Take Pang Tong out of your battle party, but keep him
with you. Put it Huang Zhong now. Give Chi Tu Ma to Zhao Yun. Heal, save, and
head west and south of Gui Yang now. Generals to watch out for in this area, some
you may have met while building up, include Tai Ci Si, Zhou Yu, Lu Sun, Lu Su,
among others. Do not hesitate to try retreating if you face any of them. Attack
the first castle you come to.
*****BATTLE 37*****
Gan Ning - 6069
Lu Su - 6365
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1300
Gan Ning is a strong general, but he is the least of your worries. Lu Su has Ji
Mian, Yi Xin, and Li Jian, which prevent you from attacking, prevent one general
from doing anything, and cause one general to attack his allies, respectively.
First turn, have everyone cast Bei Ji on themselves. Next turn, have everyone
attack Lu Su with powerpils except Zhao Yun who should use Huo Shen. That will
do over 3000 damage to anyone it hits, but probably won't hit Lu Su. One dose
of that should be sufficient. Then just own the battle with your Bei Jied hits.
******************
Enter Jian An. Make sure everyone has at least 1 elixer D. Go to the back of
the town and search in front of the lone tree for some Dead Wood. Now leave
and head north into the cave in the mountains. In the cave, take the lower
fork and take the stairs you see. Then go left and up on the next floor. The
path to the saltpeter which you came for is straightforward. Gullwing out to
Jian An when done.
Talk to the man standing in place in the front part of the town. He will take
your saltpeter and dead wood and make dam so you can get across the canal. Leave
and head south. You will come to a fortress where you will fight a very hard
battle...
*****BATTLE 38*****
Zhou Yu - 6365
Gu Yong - 5014
Kan Ze - 5259
Rebel Force - 1100
Ok, you're up against 3 tacticians. Zhou Yu is probably tied for the most
dangerous in the game, next to Cao Pi, Si Ma Yi, and very few others. He is
who you want dead the fastest. First turn, have everyone use Bei Ji. Then,
have everyone attack except Zhao Yun who should use Huo Shen. You will
probably have to heal often, since these guys love to use Hong Shui. Guan
Xing should do the healing, he's your weakest man. Use power pils and just
try to get Zhou Yu dead as fast as you can, and hope he doesn't ues Wan Fu
too many times. Also note he has An Sha, which can wipe out an entire general
of yours with one swipe. Hopefully someone has some ressurects, which we've
not really needed so far. When you finally get Zhou Yu dead, get Kan Ze, and
then all out to finish. An alternate way to start the battle would've been
for Zhao Yun to cast Ce Mian the first turn to ward off enemy tactics for
whatever number of turns it lasts.
******************
Gullwing back to Chang Sha. Reload on power pils and gullwings, and gull
back to Jian An. Continue past the fortress you just beat until you get to
another castle.
*****BATTLE 39*****
Zhu Ge Jin - 6365
Jang Qin - 5259
Han Dang - 5516
Rebel Force - 1100
This is a rather easy battle vs Zhu Ge Liang's bad brother. Whoop up on
them with powerpils and Zhou Yun using Shui Long when he's Bei Jied.
******************
Enter Wu castle. Heal, save, and leave. Continue onwards. You come to
the first confusing cave in the game. This one is big and stupid. Get
to level 33 before going in, and make sure to have elixer Ds for everyone.
Uhhh... I'll try to give directions, though if you can find a map somewhere
on the internet (like my site http://cge.ffmyths.com) this would be much
easier. The first two rooms are very small. Then there's a big floor. Follow
the path around, then go down at the fork. On the next floor take the stairs
right next to you, and on the next follow the plain path around. Again take
the stairs next to you. On this floor, follow the path, go left at first
fork, right at second, down at third. This leads you to Nu Long, one of the 5
swords. Give it to Ma Chao. Now backtrack to that last fork, and go right to
get out of the cave.
Go north for a darn long while until you come to a gate and a fortress. The
gate is guarded by just Ding Feng. All out vs him, he's weak. Attack the
fort now.
*****BATTLE 41*****
Chen Pu - 9326
Zhang Zhao - 8082
Bu Xi - 7003
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
The reason this fight will be tough is cuz you just went on a long journey
since your last heal, so you probably are way down on tactic points. Use
Bei Ji on Zhao Yun and Ma Chao only. Everyone should attack Zhang Zhao
with whatever power pills you might have, but Zhao Yun should use Huo Shen.
Good luck winning, a lot depends on if they use a lot of annoying tactics
like Li Jian, Ji Mian, Yi Xin, and Wan Fu.
******************
Enter Po Yang fortress, which lovingly has a place to rest in. Leave and
go southwest. Attack the gate, and then attack Jin Du.
*****BATTLE 43*****
Sun Yu - 13027
Zhang Hong - 10763
Zhu Zhi - 10261
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
These generals have huge armies. 2 are amazing fighters, 1 is an annoying
tactician. However, with Bei Jied power pil attacks (on the tactician)
and Bei Jied Shui Long uses, you should be able to take them down quickly.
******************
Be very happy, for Jin Du is on your gullwing list, you can go to and
from here easily. Heal now. Before talking to anyone, buy crossbows for
everyone except Ma Chao and Bronze Helmets for everyone. Now talk to the
soldier in the middle of the town to initiate a fight.
*****BATTLE 44*****
Lu Meng - 14333
3 Rebel Force - ????
This is a strong general and even greater tactician. Use Bei Jei on
everyone, then give him dose after dose of attacks. He may use Wan Fu,
which would ****. Hope he doesn't! Don't use powerpils except with Ma
Chao, because everyone else has double attack weapons. Huo Shen wouldn't
hurt. When you beat him he runs off, saying you're strong but Tai Si Ci
is stronger. Phhtt you've beaten Tai Si Ci a few times already I assume.
******************
Gull out of Jin Du to someplace where you can get powerpils and more
gullwings and come back. Head south of Jin Du to find a house. Attack
the group of pirates inside. They all have over 10K men but they're
easy. Return to Jin Du and talk to a man who will give you Qing Long,
another one of the 5 swords. Give it to Zhang Bao.
Now, wander around the area, and attack the gates of the next castle
if you wish (#44-46), but don't attack Jian Ye until you're level 38
so some of your guys have over 10K men. Also your health bars should
turn dark blue about now. Now then, heal and save. Give Ma Chao's Nu
Long to Zhao Yun just for this battle, because Zhao Yun has over 10K
men and Ma Chao does not, so we want the best damage we can give out.
Attack Jian Ye castle.
*****BATTLE 48*****
Tai Si Ci - 15769
Lu Sun - 11814
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1300
Well, though you've probably faced both of these generals at random
times before, this time they're together. And you can't just go all
out with tactics, because this battle is a 2 parter, and any Bei Jis
will not carry over to the next part. So, Bei Ji just Zhao Yun and
Zhang Bao. Everyone should focus attacks on Lu Sun, though Zhao Yun
should use Huo Shen once. I feel confident you should be able to take
down these two with relative ease. But now comes part 2 of the battle...
Sun Quan - 19087
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1300
Wow. Sun Quan is a monster. 228 strength with 240 AP to back it up,
and plenty of men to keep him over 10K for a while. And, he has very
high intelligence and some of our least favorite tactics like Ji Mian,
Li Jian, and Yi Xin. So, start out with everyone using Bei Ji on himself.
Next turn, have everyone attack except Guan Xing, who should use Huo Shen.
If he fails to hit Sun Quan with it, try again with Zhao Yun the next turn.
Just keep attacking turn by turn, and use any power pills Zhang Bao and Zhao
Yun might have. Don't let anyone get down too low on health, because if Sun
Quan does a super attack... **shudder**. Yeah, so just focus your energy and
take this sucker down. After all, he wants to take over China, and so do you,
so he's just kinda in your way. At the end he gives another speech, then dies.
So closes the Wu chapter, for Liu Bei's army now occupies it all.
******************
-------
X. Wei
-------
Enter Jian Ye, heal, save, and invite. Liu Bei says Cao Pi must die, and you
should attack from "Jian Ye, northeast of here" which is an obvious mistake-
you're in Jian Ye! Anyways, go to the weapon shops and replace your crossbows
with Lances. Also give Nu Long back to Ma Chao. Do not buy the mail here for
there is better armor at the next town. For now, just go outside to the east
and wander around a bit. There are many new generals with armies reaching over
20 and 30K men, so you should definately do some leveling up. Generals to watch
out for include Cheng Yu, Yang Xiu, Chen Qun, Cao Zhi, Guo Jia,
When you reach level 39, head east and north of Jian Ye for your next fight.
Attack the gate (easy fight, #49). Then attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 49*****
Zhang Liao - 13027
Cao Zhen - 10763
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1800
This battle, though the opposing generals don't have too many men, is hard
because they're BOTH strong warriors and elite tacticians, especially Zhang
Liao. Bei Ji everyone and power pill Zhang Liao to death before he kills
anyone with An Sha. If he does, don't worry about resurrecting, just kill
the bastard. Cao Zhen can go next. Don't all out against these guys. I suggest
using Shui Long once or twice with Bei Ji for whoopass potential.
******************
Enter Guang Ling castle and talk to the first person you see after the guard.
This is Jiang Wei, a great tactician and good fighter, who gains men like
all your other generals right now, and gets as many as Zhao Yun. He is so good
that you should replace Huang Zhong with him. Keep the old fart around though,
in case you need a backup when someone dies. Give Chi Tu Ma to Jiang Wei. In
the middle of a town, a tree sticks out on the side. Search there to find Bo
Ye, another sword. It is not as strong as the first 2 you got, but still
stronger than any generic weapons. Give it to Guan Xing. Now go in the weapon
shop and buy Plate Mail for everyone.
Go back to Jian Ye and save. Build up to level 40. Heal, save, and continue
past Guang Ling castle. You might consider getting some smoke pots. Oh and
while fighting you should notice your health bars changed to a cool green.
That's the last color. After a lot of walking you come to a gate.
*****BATTLE 50*****
Cao Pi - 20020
Cao Ren - 14333
Xia Huo Dun - 13665
Rebel Force - 1500
Rebel Force - 1800
Your first battle against the second hardest opponent in the game- Cao Pi.
And, there's a very high chance you will be suprised as you enter the battle.
So you're already starting a turn behind. Get everyone Bei Jied as soon as
possible. Have Jiang Wei use Shui Long at least once, but more times if TP
permits. Save the rest of your points for healing. Basically, gang up on Cao
Pi with power pils before he can An Sha and Hong Shui you to death. He's your
main worry and probably will be a real pain. If you can get him dead its smooth
sailing from there.
******************
Gullwing first back to someplace with Power Pills so you can reload. Then gull
back to Jian Ye, get more Elixer Ds and gulls, heal, and save. Get more smoke
pots, because you've got to take that long hike again. This time we're going
even further. Continue past He Fei fortress where you fought Cao Pi. Go across
one bridge, then another, and then straight down. You will see a castle protected
by some gates. Go in and attack! The first gate is just against some Caos (#51),
but they're weak. The second (#52) is against some Xia Huo's. They're easy, too.
Now, attack Ru Nan.
*****BATTLE 53*****
Cao Pi - 20020
Cao Zhang - 19087
Cao Ang - 18197
Xia Huo Mao - 16504
Rebel Force - 1800
Here's Cao Pi again, this time with a load of strong backup, including the 7th
strongest general in the game, Cao Zhang. Yeah, that says something. You WILL
be caught off guard in this battle, so you'll have a round of beating on you
before you can even get going. Now on your first turn, everyone should use Bei
Ji. Second turn, everyone attack Cao Pi with powerpils except Jiang Wei, using
Huo Shen or Shui Long (depending where you initiated the battle). This will
probably bring Cao Pi down below 5K. Do one more power pill attack and one more
regular on him to kill him. Hopefully he never An Shaed anyone. You should be
strong enough to all out after this to finish them.
But wait! Si Ma Yi has arrived! And he's backstabbing Cao Pi! Sounds like a cool
guy. Well, he kills Cao Pi and gives you his head. However, he says he claims Wei
for his own, then does some crazy thunder on you, and you wake up in Jian Ye.
******************
Heal, save, and go talk to Liu Bei. He says Guan Yu's other son found you unconsious
and brought you back to Jian Ye. He says you should go to Chang Sha to talk to him.
So, do so! When you talk to him he says he knows Si Ma Yi's thunder tactic, and says
the counter is to press up, up, down, down, left, right, up, down before the attack
hits. Also restock on power pills here, and get everyone at least three of them.
Now gullwing back to Jian Ye. Reload on gullwings and elixer Ds. Make sure you
are at least level 44 before heading out. Huang Zhong should have his inventory full
of them since he's not fighting. You will probably get to level 45 on the way.
Upon reaching Ru Nan, touch the castle from the left side, so you are away from the
water, because Si Ma Yi can use Shui Long. When it starts, you will first have to
counter the thunder. If you mess up you are returned to Jian Ye. So don't mess up.
Now, the battle starts.
*****BATTLE 54*****
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Xu Zhu - 20020
Dian Wei - 20020
Rebel Force - 1800
Rebel Force - 1500
You'll probly be caught off guard. Now, do a report on Si Ma Yi. He has 250
intelligence, so he will a) be able to hit any of your guys with his tactics
successfully and b) it will be hard for you to hit him with tactics. He has Huo
Shen and Shui Long, two tactics that hardly any of your opponents had before. He
also has Bei Ji, so his attacks and tactics will be twice strength once he uses
it. In addition, he has Wan Fu, and coupled with his 40K men, will mean a long,
hard, tedious fight. And this isn't the only time you face him- you fight him 2
more times!
Begin this battle with Bei Ji on everyone. Now, focus on killing Xu Zhu, and then
Dian Wei. Don't use power pills - save those for Si Ma Yi. You can use Huo Shen a
few times, but try and save tactic points for healing. You will be healing often
because Si Ma Yi loves to hit everyone for 4K damage with Huo Shen. Do power pil
attacks on Si Ma Yi until you get him down to around or below 10K. But, if you
are in range of killing him in just one more turn, start that turn with Jiang Wei
using Ce Mian so Si Ma Yi can't use Wan Fu. That should work and have him dead.
******************
Enter Ru Nan castle. Heal, and go to the weapon shop. Buy Steel Helmets for everyone.
Now go back to Jian Ye and restock on Elixer Ds and Gullwings, and definately get
some smokepots. Also go to Chang Sha or one of the places that has power pills and
restock until everyone but Jiang Wei has 3, for Jiang should have ressurects.
Save and gull back to Ru Nan and get ready to go through a big cave. Go through the
little niche in the mountains at the back of Ru Nan.
Go left at the first fork, left at the next, and right at the next. Go to the stairs.
Don't worry about treasures you're passing by. They all ****, except one in the cave
we're making sure to get, which is one of the 5 swords. On the next floor go left
and then immediately up, which leads you around to the next stairs. Next part is
very
small, take the next stairs. So is the next. Keep going. On the next floor go towards
the lava and through it. It won't hurt too much. Get only the first chest which has
Wan Sheng in it. Give it to Zhao Yun. The other chests just have armor you don't
need.
Backtrack out of the lava and go up. Take the first set of stairs you see. Go down,
and take the left of the the 3 paths. This takes you out of the cave. However, walking
outside you see yet another cave. Argh. Inside, go left and follow the floor to the
stairs. Go down and curve back up to the stairs downward. Follow that to a Halberd,
the strongest weapon in the game. Give it to Ma Chao, give Nu Long to Zhao Yun, and
Wan Sheng to Jiang Wei. Go back 2 stairs and this time go left at the fork. Follow
this floor (has green ground) until a fork. Go diagonal up-right for Qing Guang.
Give
it to Guan Xing, and give Bo Ye to Zhu Ge Liang or Huang Zhong to hold, though it
doesn't really matter. Go back down, right, up-right, up, and to the stairs. Grab
the chest in your way (power pil) if you want and give it to Ma Chao who has the
best
weapon of anyone. Now you'll get out of the cave.
Odds are you're level 47 by now. Hope you didn't use any tactics on your journey.
You'll need them for the battles ahead. Go north and west to the next gate (#55).
Use Huang Zhong and Zhu Ge Liang's spare elixer Ds to get everyone's HP back up.
Now attack the gate.
*****BATTLE 56*****
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Yang Xiu - 20999
Jiang Gan - 19087
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1500
Uh oh. You may have all your tactic points, elixer Ds, resurrects, power pils, and
the best physical army in the land, but you're up against 2 generals with Wan Fu,
Ji Mian, and Yi Xin. Plus, you're close enough to the water where Si Ma Yi can use
Shui Long and the other two can use Hong Shui. You're in for a rough ride unless
you play your cards right. Start with a round of Bei Jis on everyone except Jiang
Wei, who should use Ce Mian. Gang up on Si Ma Yi with power pills until he is dead,
and whenever Ce Mian runs out, use it again. When Si Ma Yi is dead, you can stop
using power pills and Ce Mian. Take out Yang Xiu and then Jiang Gan. These two
wont last long against an army of Bei Jied warriors.
******************
Go past the fortress and head north to Chin castle.
*****BATTLE 57*****
Xun Huo - 25418
Li Dian - 23103
Wang Shuang - 20999
Rebel Force - 1800
Rebel Force - 1800
Odds are you have between 20 and 40 tactic points left, 0-2 power pils left on
any given man, and you don't want to face another guy with Wan Fu. Don't use
any Bei Jis. Take out Li Dian and Wang Shuang, then slowly work down Xun Huo.
If you heal, make sure you save at least 15 tactic points. When he is in
range of killing in one turn, use Ce Mian. Use your last power pils to kill the
sucker. Take out his lackeys afterwards. If at some time before you kill him
he An Shas someone, use a resurrect and then 3 elixer Ds or 2 and a heal, but
like I said, be penny-pinching with your tactic points so you have that 15.
******************
In Chin castle you find out that Si Ma Yi controls a newly rebuilt Luo Yang castle.
His very strong, intelligent sons are helping him guard it. Sounds like fun.
Walk outside and you see a bridge built. You can go across it and wow! You're right
next to Luo Yang castle! Don't fight yet. Gullwing to Chang Sha or Chang An and
fill up on power pils- 3 for Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Guan Xing, 4 for Ma Chao.
Fill the rest of your space with at least 3 resurrects spread out and at least 1
elixer D per person. Go to Xu Zhou to save. This is the closest place on your gullwing
list that can attack Luo Yang- the path from Yang Zhou has been blocked off.
Blow past the gates of Luo Yang, poorly defended as they are by the last remaining
beleagured troops of Wei. If you're not level 50 by now, get to that by building
up
around Chin. Once level 50, gullwing to Ji Zhou. In there, go around the right wall
to a house, where a man will raise your level to 51. This is the highest level. Cool.
Return to Xu Zhou, heal, and save. If you're fully stocked, attack Luo Yang.
===============================================================================
******************************FINAL BATTLE PART 1******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Ma Shi - 27965
Si Ma Zhao - 30767
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 150
Rebel Force - 150
Alright... let's see. Si Ma Yi's two loving sons which he seems to have raised
well, because they're both very bright people. And they even try to taunt you
into submission before every attack of theirs. What a nice thing to teach your
kids.
Begin the battle with Jiang Wei using Ce Mian and everyone else using Bei Ji.
Each time Ce Mian runs out, use it again. These generals are dangerous and not
afraid to use An Sha and Wan Fu. You will not need tactic points for anything
but Ce Mian, because if you gang up on the two generals one at a time with
powerpils, you can get them dead very quickly (Ma Chao will be doing insanely
high amounts of damage). I really doubt you can get into a very big predicament
fighting them, though I could be wrong. When they're dead, you obviously know
there must be more, because you didn't fight Si Ma Yi. And here he is...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
Si Ma Yi says its his destiny to rule, and you can't prevent. Well you can,
just not in your tacticless condition. Though it may not seem like it, you can
run from this battle. Either do that or use the Gui Han tactic. Fill back up on
powerpils, heal, save, and come back. Now, you will not have to fight his sons,
just the battle against Si Ma Yi and his henchmen.
===============================================================================
******************************FINAL BATTLE PART 2******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Yu Jin - 30767
Wei Xu - 27965
Cheng Yu - 24233
Xu Zhu - 20020
Alright, going into this battle, you should be confident, since you've taken on
all the other foes this game could throw at you, and you outnumber these guys
roughly 5:2 if you're on level 51. You also have the superior brains. Though
they may have infinite TP, you know how to use them better. So, try not to get
frustrated if you get An Shaed or repeatedly Huo Shened when Si Ma Yi is Bei
Jied. Just know that you're superior to these punks.
Kick it off with a round of Bei Ji. Wittle down Cheng Yu until he is dead- he
is the most dangerous, with An Sha in his arsenal. When he's gone you can worry
a bit less and focus on getting the fighter generals out of the way. If at any
time someone dies, use 2 elixer Ds and 1 Jin Xian, to get them back up over 10K,
and repeat this if they fall back under. You should be able to successfully
revive 4 people if everyone has 1-2 elixer Ds.
When only Si Ma Yi is left, spend a few turns attacking, and defend for however
long necessary if he uses Ji Mian. If you get him down to about 15K, Jiang Wei
should use Ce Mian followed by everyone else attacking with powerpils. Odds are
this will kill him. If you accidentally get Si Ma Yi to low on health and he gets
a chance he will Wan Fu and be fresh as new. And he will barage you with Huo Shens
a lot. Hopefully you get him down to the right health and can finish him, because
you only have so many powerpils and TP until you're a goner. If you win, he has
some last sentiments, and then he dies. Yay. Congratulate yourself. Kiss the
nearest person. No more fighting. Now its time for the ending pieces.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
The music changes to that of victory. Ahhh it sounds so sweet. Enter Luo Yang and
gaze upon its majestic looks as a newly rebuild city. Everyone is talking of peace
and happy things. Go to the scribe and invite Liu Bei in. If you want to fight Si
Ma Yi again, don't save.
Enter the palace. Talk to Liu Bei and hear his final speech:
"Zhang Bao, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei, Guan Xing, Ma Chao, Zhu Ge Liang, Huang Zhong,
my people. Finally peace reigns again. I thank you all for your devoted effort.
Through this great trial, I have gained much wisdom. I will rule fairly but with
an iron hand so that no uprising can threaten the peace again."
Now its time for the credits! Yippee! We get to see lots of clips of Liu Bei,
Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in many places they never were together to some funky
music. Woohoo! Between each scene are some names, and portraits are displayed
of characters. Capcom thanks you for playing at the end. Pat yourself on the back,
give yourself a high five, whatever. You just beat on of the coolest RPGs ever.
I haven't tried the sequel, maybe you should try it.

I. About
---------
Destiny of an Emperor, released by Capcom on the NES in 1989, is a very
underrated and not well known RPG. However, it is not only a long and
enjoyable game, but it is based on a true period of ancient Chinese
history, known as the Three Kingdoms period, which lasted about 50
years in the 200s A.D.
If you would like to learn more about this story, there are many websites
that have full information on the spectacular wars and unique people that
shaped this period of the past. The largest site I know of, which covers
every Three Kingdoms game, is www.kongming.net. There you can find full
descriptions and history for any of the amazing characters that you
learn of while playing this game.
--------------------
II. Getting Started
--------------------
An opening sequence shows 3 best friends, warriors Liu Bei, Zhang Fei,
and Guan Yu, swearing an oath of loyalty to each other in a peach garden
in a small village. Afterwards, you learn of recent happenings from a
wise man. In the little village talk to every person. One man, a merchant,
will give you 200 gold and 1,000 rations, which are necessary for the
start of the game. Also, there are two men standing next to each other:
Song Ren and Song Yong. They will add their armies to your cause. However,
they are both very weak. They won't be with you too long, so don't worry.
Before you go outside, make sure to equip Liu Bei's, Guan Yu's, and Zhang
Fei's weapons and armor, and give Liu Bei's dagger to Song Ren. When you
go outside, go directly left to the castle Xu Zhou. When inside, go left
and to the house in the trees. There you will meet Mi Zhe. He will join.
Make him your active tactician. Now, go to the long building, shingled
roof, no curtain on door. There's no name for this place, so we'll call
it the eatery. Go in, and have Song Yong leave your party. He is weaker
than Song Ren and Mi Zhe, and so you don't need him. Also, if you want
a better chance for battles with higher EXP gain, fire Song Yong so you
can fight him out in the open.
Next, if you feel like using any of the 200 gold you started with, you
can go to either of the two shops at the top of the town, one is the
merchant's shop and the other is weapons and armor. Personally, I wait
and save up for Leathers at this time. Whenever you need to heal your
party, go to the closest building to the entrance to the town. That is
the Inn. You can pay a small price there to cure all your armies. And
lastly, to save the game, or in some cases invite Liu Bei to a newly
conquered castle (Liu Bei becomes the emperor later), go to the medium
building, shingle roof, plain door, no window. It's right above the
Eatery and the food shop. You can find out how long you have to wait
until your party increases a level when you save. Also note that
if you ever run out of food, which is seldom because fort and castle
battles give you a lot, you will be losing men every step you take out
in the open, so get to the nearest food store quick.
----------------------------------
III. The Yellow Scarves Rebellion
----------------------------------
Now go to the palace and talk to the king. He says he is sick, and will
make you his heir if you defeat the Yellow Scarves. So, our mission
will be to crush the rebellion. For starters, your generals armies are
very weak right now and you have little equipment. Spend time fighting
battles outside against rebel, bandit, pirate, and brigand forces, and
the occasional random general(s). You should get to level 4 before our
next task, and have leathers for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. and maybe a few
bandanas to go around. Some elixer As wouldn't hurt, either. When you
have done all this, follow the path directly west of Xu Zhou. Touch the
camp entrance and Zhang Bao will make a threat to you, and the battle
begins.
*****BATTLE 1*****
Zhang Bao - 299
Chen Yuan Zhi - 195
Rebel Force - 140
This is a rather easy fight. Start out by having Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and
Guan Yu attack Zhang Bao, and have Song Ren and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo on
Chen Yuan Zhi. Zhang Bao and Chen Yuan Zhi can both use Lian Huo, but
rarely will it hurt. Once you have both of them down to below 100 men
each, do an all out and finish them off. Zhang Bao will say you are too
strong, and retreat.
******************
Enter the large middle tent in the camp and search the corner pot. You
will find an Ax. Give it to Zhang Fei or Guan Yu. Give the replaced Flail
to Song Ren, and his dagger to Mi Zhi. You should've gotten up to level 5
from that battle and learned Chi Xin. If so, go back to Xu Xhou, heal,
and save. If not, fight random battles until you're at level 5. Then,
head south of Xu Zhou and you will find another camp. Zhang Jao mentions
you routing his brother and says the guy was a fool anyways. Now he gives
out a threat! Time to fight!
*****BATTLE 2*****
Zhang Jao - 346
Zheng Mao - 153
Han Zhong - 204
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 100
This battle is a bit tougher than the last one, but not by much. Have
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu attack to get Han Zhong below 100 men,
and have Song Ren and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo to bring down Zheng Mao. Once
they're below 100, concentrate on just attacking Zhang Jao. Use Chi Xin
to heal if necessary, and if Zhang Jao heals one of the other two generals,
attack them again. After Zhang Jao has less that 100 men, do an all out
attack. The battle will end shortly, and Zhang Jao will retreat.
******************
In the camp, enter the largest middle tent and obtain an Ax from a treasure
chest. Equip it on Zhang Fei or Guan Yu, whoever didn't get the last one.
After this, return to Xu Zhou, heal, save, and then go north to Qing Zhou.
DO NOT ATTACK THIS CASTLE FROM THE FRONT! You would be confronted by Zhang
Jao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Zheng Mao, and Chen Yuan Zhi. The result would
not be pretty. Instead, move around to the back of the entrance and press
the castle from there. You will only meet up with Zhang Liang.
*****BATTLE 3*****
Zhang Liang - 259
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 100
Zhang Lian has no tactics. Immediately all out attack. If any of your men
look about to die, pull out and use Chi Xin to heal them. This shouldn't
happen, though.
******************
After the battle, DO NOT try and enter the city! You have not taken it over
yet. If you do attack, you will be faced with all those generals I stated
previously. However, you should now see a cave opened up behind Qing Zhou.
Don't go in yet, because you can't get through if you're not a Yellow Scarves
rebel. What you must do is wander the country until you meet up with Han
Zhong, whose loyalty to Zhang Jao is quavery. If you battle him, you will
capture him, but he may request a steed or money upon joining. Make sure
you have a steed on hand, they can be bought at the merchant shop in Xu
Zhou.
Once Han Zhong is on your side, heal, save, and enter the cave. Put Han
Zhong in front of your party, and talk to the man by the water. He will make
a bridge. You may return Liu Bei to the front of your line, now.
Cross, and then go left and up to get an Ax from a treasure chest.
Equip it on whom you please, preferably Liu Bei. This cave is very small and
easy to navigate. Find 3 men standing side by side. They are the Zhang brothers.
Fight them.
*****BATTLE 4*****
Zhang Jao - 346
Zhang Bao - 299
Zhang Liang - 259
Your armies are now pitted against the 3 strong generals who previously
retreated from you. However, you hold the brains and the superior numbers,
so this will be a swift and sure battle. Have Liu Bei, Han Zhong, Zhang Fei,
and Guan Yu all attack Zhang Liang and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo on him, to wipe
out his army first, because his is the smallest and physically strongest.
After he is dead, go for Zhang Bao, but don't use tactics on him. Tactics
are generally less effective against opposing tacticians. Heal your forces
when necessary. Once he is dead, all out verses Zhang Jao. He may be able
to use Chi Xin, but it won't make up for all the damage you do to him.
Once they're all dead, you can wipe the dust off your armor with their faces
for all I care. The rebellion is over.
******************
Exit the cave through the entrance in front of you. Enter Qing Zhou and go
to the house up and to the right. Enter and talk to Chen Deng. He will join
your force. Replace Han Zhong with him, because he has higher attack and
much higher intelligence. You can make him your tactician, though he has
the same intelligence as Mi Zhi.
--------------
IV. Dong Zhou
--------------
Return to Xu Zhou and talk to the king, who is lying on the bed in the
back room. He will give up his rule to Liu Bei, who will in turn leave
you in order to stay and rule. However, his son, Liu Fend, will be a
worthy replacement, with more men, and slightly higher strength.
Save the game and head south as far as you can go, until you get to
another fort you haven't been to yet. When you enter, Sun Ce (ruler of
the Wu kingdom) tells you he attacked, but failed because Dong Zhou's
forces were too strong, and Yuan Shu didn't send reinforcements.
He leaves you. Don't worry, this battle isn't at all as tough as Sun Ce
said.
*****BATTLE 5*****
Hua Xiong - 439
Li Su - 299
Rebel Force - 100
Rebel Force - 100
Rebel Force - 140
These enemies know no tactics, so an all out straight from the start wouldn't
be suicide, except that Xua Xiong has 162 strength, almost twice as much
as any general you've fought so far! Plus, his immense army will take a few
turns to bring down. Attack him and have Mi Zhi / Chen Deng use Lian Huo.
When Hua Xiong is dead, all out to destroy the rest of them.
******************
In the camp, go to the back and talk to Yang Jin, who will join you. Have him
replace Mi Zhi. Then, go into the right tent for an Ax. In the middle tent
you'll find an Inn. Stay there if you must. Go back outside. If you want to
go back to Xu Zhou to save, you may. Once ready, walk 8 paces west and 1 pace
south of the entrance of the camp. Search the spot and find Chi Tu Ma, who is
Lu Bu's best horse (you'll meet Lu Bu soon). The person who has Chi Tu Ma will
be MUCH faster in battle, and probably go first every turn. I suggest giving
it to Zhang Fei, if you want his strong attack first, or to your best tactic
user, so you can get healings and other tactics in before other attacks in
a battle.
**Note: From here on for a while, make sure to always have a steed with you.
Be on the lookout for Hua Xiong, and if you fight him, hopefully you can capture
him! He can replace Yang Jin.**
Travel west of the camp and immediately upwards to the cave there. On the first
level of the cave, go either all the way left or right, go to the back of the
floor, take the stairs and get about 1,000 coins in a chest. Return to the
entrance to the cave. Go up the middle, go left or right, and take the fork
downward. On the next floor, walk until there is a big fork. Go downward. Take
the stairs, and on the next floor go left and up to the stairs. Obtain the Gold
Key. Make your way back out of the cave. At the entrance, Guan Ping will be waiting
there. He is VERY strong. Replace whatever tactician you have in your battle lineup
with Guan Ping. Now leave and return to Xu Zhou to heal and save.
Also get some more Elixer As while you're there. Go back to where the fork in
the mountains by the cave is and go west. You will come to a fort- here you will
face the mighty Lu Bu for the first time.
*****BATTLE 6*****
Lu Bu - 439
Li Ru -
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 120
Just one report on Lu Bu will tell you he is the strongest general in the game.
Thus, he is very dangerous to you and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Note that Guan Yu has very high intelligence- he will be using tactics for this
battle. Have him keep doing Ye Huo on Lu Bu while everyone else attacks him
until he is dead. Once he is, Li Ru shouldn't be too much trouble, and the battle
will go quickly from there. After a threat, Lu Bu retreats.
******************
In this fort, go right and talk to Huo Hu, who joins you. Replace your current
tactician with him. Now enter the central tent with the bushes around it. Talk
to Cao Cao, who is the leader of the Imperial Army. He talks of not being able
to catch Dong Zhou and says that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have gone ahead to the
castle of Lou Yang and he goes there also.
Exit the camp, and return all the way back to Xu Zhou to heal and save. Drop
off your old tactician, and replenish any Elixer As you've used up. You should
have at least one on each person. Also get a few Gullwings for easy travel back
Xu Zhou when you need it.
Now then, travel north and west of fort Hu Lao Guan to get to Lou Yang. You will
have to fight a few battles at gates before you fight the battle at the castle.
Battles 7 and 8 will be walks in the park. However, the one at the castle will
be just a little bit tougher. A general (I'm not sure who) will tell you he
failed to take Lou Yang because Dong Zhou and Lu Bu are working together, and
then he leaves you. But I think you can take on this next battle.
*****BATTLE 9*****
Dong Zhou - 439
Lu Bu - 439
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 180
OK- Dong Zhou doesn't have as much strength as Lu Bu, but he does have 20 more
attack power, making him just as dangerous. They both have a lot of men... but
you should take down Lu Bu first, because his attack is still the greatest.
Have everyone attack except Guan Yu who should use Ye Huo. If you want more
firepower, have Liu Feng use Ye Huo also, for he has very high intelligence
also. Just be ready for big attacks from the enemies each turn until you have
them both dead, because they still do a fair amount with under 100 men. When
it is over, Dong Zhou and Lu Bu will retreat.
******************
When you talk into Lou Yang, you will see it has been burned and pillaged. This
once grand capitol of China has been put to ruin. There are only 2 buildings
you can enter. Bottom middle is an Inn, and top left is a house. In the floor
in that house is a safe. Open it with the gold key to find the Gem sword. It
is not a weapon. Give it to Zhang Fei for later use.
Leave the city and continue westward to the next castle, where you shall fight
Lu Bu once again. Make sure Zhang Fei is at the front of your army for this
battle.
*****BATTLE 9*****
Lu Bu - 439
Cai Yong - 380
Hu Zhen - 299
Rebel Force - 150
Rebel Force - 120
On your first turn, have Zhang Fei use the Gem Sword on Lu Bu. When Zhang Fei
uses the Gem Sword on Lu Bu, he will give a speech and then join you. He talks
of Chi Tu Ma, whom you already got earlier.
Now this battle is a cinch without Lu Bu fighting you. Just take care of these
two loser generals the usual way.
******************
After the battle, replace Hua Xiong with Lu Bu in your lineup. Enter Yang Zhou
castle. Stay at the Inn, then save. You cannot invite Liu Bei here, though it
would seem you could because of the palace. Also, go to the lower right house
and search in the pot for a Club. Give this to Lu Bu, and give his Ax to whoever
is still using a flail. Also give Lu Bu Chi Tu Ma, because you want his super
high attack to go first during battle.
As soon as you leave the city, you will see another cave. Inside, go left at
the first fork, and down at the next. On the next floor, grab the Club in the
chest above you. Give it to Zhang Fei. Now go down and left and to the first
staircase you see. This leads to the way out. I suggest you not go to Chang An
right now. Fight some random battles in the area, and when you need healing
go back to Yang Zhou. Always keep some gullwings with you. When you are ready
to attack Chang An, go up to the gate before it to fight the first battle.
*****BATTLE 10*****
Dong Min - 380
Fen Chou - 399
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 180
Fen Chou has the great attack, so kill him first. All out once he is dead.
******************
Now attack Chang An castle.
*****BATTLE 11*****
Dong Zhou - 439
Jia Xu - 418
Zhang Ji - 362
If you had not brought Lu Bu to your side earlier, you would be fighting him
now. This battle is much easier with him on your side. Have all physical attacks
go on Jia Xu until he is dead, and have Guan Yu keep using Shui Xing and Ye Huo
on Dong Zhou and Zhang Ji. Jia Xu is very dangerous, because he uses Shui Zing
a lot, and it hurts. Be proud of yourself when this battle has ended. Dong Zhou
is killed and peace returns to Chang An...
******************
------------
V. Yuan Shu
------------
Now you enter Chang An. It is a giant monster of a city- the biggest in the game.
It is a paradise. This will be your main headquarters until you occupy Nan Yang,
much later. List of things to do here include buying Caps and Clubs for everyone,
stocking up on Elixers and Power Pills, and inviting Liu Bei to the palace. When
he has arrived, go speak with him. He tells you you've done a good job fighting
and he lets you rest. He awakens you however, and summons you to the palace. A
messanger has arrived from Cao Cao bringing ill news. He says general Yuan Shu
has somehow aquired the Imperial Seal and calls himself the Emperor. This is a
problem that must be fixed!
Leave Chang An and travel south. Take the right fork through the mountains. The
house you see to the left is not important until later. Attack the castle you
see ahead.
*****BATTLE 12*****
Lei Bo - 643
Chen Ji - 531
Rebel Force - 200
Rebel Force - 220
This generals may see to have overwhelmingly large armies, but their attacks
are really not great, and neither of them use tactics. Wipe out Lei Bo with
attacks and Guan Yu using Shui Xing. Then all out to kill the rest of them.
******************
This is Yuan castle. Not a very important place. However, you can buy Padded
armors here, which are much stronger than Leather armors. Buy as many as you
can, but they are expensive. Give them first to anyone still wearing a Robe.
Leave and continue south. From here on you will be fighting many generals
with upwards of 500 men, and Rebel, Pirate, Brigand, and Bandit forces now
have over 200 men apiece. Take the shortcut through the mountains and go west.
You will come to a castle where you will fight two very powerful generals.
*****BATTLE 13*****
Ji Ling - 613
Zhang Xun - 675
Rebel Force - 230
Both of these generals have insanely large armies and attack to rival any
of your generals due to the high AP they are given in this battle coupled
with their almost 200 strength each. They are both equally dangerous, so
use Power Pills to kill them quickly, and also have Guan Yu use Shui Xing.
Tactics will be more effective than physical damage because both generals
have very high defense. Once one of the two is defeated, then it should be
safe to all out attack. **Note: These are the two strongest capturable
men before Nan Yang, and I highly advise you to spend time trying to find
and capture them so they can fight for you. Have the first of two you catch
replace Liu Feng and the second replace Guan Ping.**
******************
This is Huai Nan castle. Fairly small, but you can both heal and save here.
Spend some time in the field north of here trying to find Zhang Xun and Ji
Ling before you go any further. You want those two generals ASAP. Also,
around this point in the game, your health bars will change from pink to
orange, because the number of men generals are getting is too great for
the pink scale.
There is a small fortress just to the north of here. The battle is of no
importance to you. You will flatten it. Even farther north is a cave. It
is medium sized and has only 2 floors and then a little one. It is not
hard to navigate and contains 3 spears, so take a trip into it with some
elixers on hand.
Once you are about level 14, return to Huai Nan castle, heal and save.
Now venture northward towards Nan Yang castle. The two gate battles are
sinchy, just squash them. Now to Nan Yang.
*****BATTLE 17*****
Yuan Shu - 899
Yuan Yin - 643
Lu Fan - 817
Rebel Force - 250
Nan Yang would've been much tougher had you not had Lu Bu, because then
there would be a mighty fighter against you as well as all the tacticians.
Luckily, only Yuan Shu has somewhat of an attack. Focus on taking him out
first, with everyone attacking except Guan Yu who should use Yan Re, which
you learned at level 14. This battle may take a bit because all these
generals can heal, but if you have power pills, you should be able to pick
off one or two of them in one round apiece. Watch out for your health- have
Zhang Xun heal if you're low (he has lowest attack). After the battle is
over, you're given the choice weather or not to kill Yuan Shu for being a
traitor, but you actually have to let him go. Oh well.
******************
--------------
VI. Yuan Shao
--------------
Now that the battle is over, DO NOT TAKE A STEP NORTHWARD. Just enter Nan
Yang RIGHT AWAY. Once you've gone in and healed and saved, take off all
of Lu Bu's items and give them to Guan Ping, who will replace him. Give
Chi Tu Ma to Zhang Fei now, though. He will keep him for a while. Now
when you step outside and go a few steps north, you will be met with a
horrifying battle. You don't have to fight this one, though. Yuan Shao and
Yuan Shu show up with immense armies and backing generals, and bully you
for a turn. Lu Bu switches sides, seeing that he is on the "losing" side.
That's why you took his stuff away.
Now go back inside the castle and heal. Invite Liu Bei in and talk to him.
He will thank you for killing Yuan Shu, but this is a typo. You didn't kill
him and he's off with his big brother. Also, go to the northest corner of
the town and talk to a man walking around. Buy the key from him, even though
4,000 is a lot, it is more than worth it later.
Above Nan Yang you will face slightly harder rebel and other forces, but not
very much harder. However now a new group of generals will meet you out in the
open, and many now have over 1000 men and over 150 strength. The key to
fighting them is to get their health below 1,000 as soon as possible. Above
that number, their attacks will be great, but below they will be just average
of what you're used to.
Head north and west of Nan Yang and take a stop in a small cave. There are 2
people in here, and one you can't reach now. The one you can talk to is Zhou
Cang, who will join voluntarily. He is stronger than Guan Ping, so replace him
with Zhou Cang.
Once you are at least level 15, head north and east to Bo Hai castle.
*****BATTLE 18*****
Lu Guang - 1037
Shen Pei - 1255
Gao Lan - 942
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 230
This is your first castle battle against generals of this caliber, and 2 of
them have over 1,000 men. Luckily, one is a weak tactician, and the other will
fall below 1,000 in just 1 attack. Simply, attack Lu Guang once, then focus
attacks on Shen Pei until he is dead. Have Guan Yu use Yan Re every turn.
Once Shen Pei is dead, then you can choose to all out or kill Lu Guang first,
then all out. Shouldn't make much difference, just watch your health, because
no one in your party is really higher than 700 men, if any.
******************
In Bo Hai, heal, then enter the left of the double house. Get the Gun Powder
and go to the cave in the west. Use the powder to free Xu Zhe who is trapped.
He will join you. Make him your tactician, because he is very intelligent.
Note that he is going by the name Dan Fu, so there's no confusion. Now with
him you can get past the woman blocking the bridge in Bo Hai. Get Wood Helmets
for at least Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and if funds permit, for other generals
in the front of your group.
Continue east of Bo Hai until you see a gate in the middle of nowhere. Attack.
*****BATTLE 19*****
Xu Shou - 1255
Yan Liang - 1381
Wen Hun - 1449
Rebel Force - 230
This is a hard battle, but though you're outnumbered, you are a human and they
are just NES intelligence. Wen Hun and Yan Liang have two insanely high attacks,
and with their HP are hard to get below 1,000 immediately. In fact it will take
at least 3 turns to get all generals below 1,000. Xu Shou has Yan Re and is not
afraid to use it. Be ready to heal anyone who gets down to around 250, because
they could be killed in one turn by consecutive hits on their armies. The main
thing is to focus on Xu Shou and kill him, after Wen Hun and Yan Liang are
under 1K men. Guan Yu should be using Yan Re every turn. Once you have routed
this enemy force, you should be proud. Now, you will not face any of them again,
which means if you meet up with Wen Hun or Yan Liang out in the open, hope that
you can convert them, for they are as you saw very powerful.
******************
Enter this fortress and free the girl behind the bars. She gives you a letter.
Before we do anything with this, you should go back to Nan Yang to heal and save.
Also consider getting to level 17. Try to capture Wen Hun and Yan Liang or at
least one of the two. Lu Guang is also pretty good. Now, travel to the castle
east of Bo Hai. Go ahead and "go in", but actually this just gives the game a
chance for you to talk to Zhao Yun. Show him the letter from his sister and he
joins you. Fit him into your team, because he is one of the 5 what are called
"Tiger" generals. He gains men every level, and has insanely high attack and
intelligence. When the end of the game comes he will be your best man all
around. Now, attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 20*****
Yuan Tan - 1594
Yuan Xi - 1519
Tian Feng - 1141
Rebel Force - 270
Attack Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi using power pills with Zhang Fei and whatever
random generals you have. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun should use Yan Re every
turn. Once Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are below one thousand, concentrate attacks
on Tian Feng until he is dead. Once he is gone, all out attack.
******************
Now enter this castle, which is Guang Zong. Heal, and save (the building is
at the far end of the city). Do not talk to the pink and white general in
the middle until you've saved. Ok, now talk to him. He is blood of Yuan
Shu and Yuan Shao, and he wants to kill you.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Yuan Shang - 1672
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 300
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 300
Yuan Shang is a strong general. However, with only Rebel Forces as backup,
you can take him down quickly. Have Guan Yu and Zhao Yun use Yan Re, and
everyone else attack him. If he is not below 1000, then do another round,
all attacking him. Watch out in case he uses Yan Re, for he is a capable
tactician. Now, you can all out to kill him and any remaining rebel
forces.
******************
Heal and save again, and continue eastward towards Ji Zhou, the castle
where Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Lu BU, and others await you. Defeat the gate
battles (#22 and 23, no special strats needed), and return to Guang Zong
for a quick heal/save. If you are not level 18, get there, so Zhang Fei
will have a little over 1,000 men. Make sure to get all generals at least
2 power pils and 1 elixer B each. Now, attack Ji Zhou.
Yuan Shao will again say you killed his brother, but that makes no sense
because he's in this next battle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Yuan Shao - 1754
Yuan Shu - 899
Zhang He - 1317
Ju Shou - 1449
Lu BU - 1449
THIS BATTLE IS HARD, and in fact harder than first glance. Not only do
all these generals, and there are 5 of them, have a mass army of over
7,000 men, but each of them is a strong fighter except Ju Shou, and all
are expert tacticians except Lu Bu. Note that Lu Bu has now about 1,500
hit points, and will be doing over 300 damage a hit until brought down,
and 150 until he is defeated. Basically, we take this battle slowly, one
step at a time. First turn, have Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Fei use
power pills to attack Lu Bu. Have Guan Yu use Ji Rou to reduce enemy
attacks, and Zhao Yun use Yan Re. Hopefully Zhang Fei got to do his attack
before he was knocked below 1,000. He should do between 300 and 400 damage.
Odds are you took some heavy damage, so have Guan Yu use Yin Xian now.
Concentrate attacks and Lu Bu, and keep using Yan Re with Zhou Yun. save
your power pills for Yuan Shao, whom you will kill last. After Lu Bu is
dead, focus on Ju Shou. Go up the enemy line from him, killing them one
by one. When only Yuan Shao is left, have everyone attack with power pils.
Congratulate yourself, a lot, when they are all defeated.
******************
---------------------------
VII. Fighting in Jing Zhou
---------------------------
Enter Ji Zhou, heal, save, and invite Liu Bei in. Talk to him and he tells
you the land of Jing Zhou is in turmoil and you need to stop the fighting
there. Before heading off, buy 3 sabres, for Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang
Fei. I'd have you buy more, but only 2 towns away is your next weapon, which
though expensive is very awesome, and you should save your money for some.
Gullwing back to Nan Yang and save. Go left now and down the path. Following
this path you will go by 4 houses, and then come to a castle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Jin Xuan - 1317
Gong Zhi - 1197
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 300
Simple battle. All out if you want. These are not dangerous enemies.
******************
Enter Wu Ling castle. Heal, leave, and continue eastward along the path.
Before attacking the next castle, which is hard, get to level 19. When
you're ready, attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Han Xuan - 1519
Huang Zhong - 1381
Wei Yan - 1317
Yang Ling - 1197
Rebel Force - 300
This battle has 2 of the strongest men in the game fighting you. Huang Zhong
and Wei Yan. Basically, have Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Fei keep attacking
Huang Zhong and then Wei Yan, and Zhao Yun should keep using Yan Re. Once they
are dead, kill Yang Ling, and then allout to kill Han Xuan.
******************
Entering Chang Sha you see Huang Zhong and Wei Yan standing in the way. They
will join you now. Replace Wen Hun and Yan Liang with them. Now, go to the
weapon shop and buy as many Bows as you can afford. Now heal, leave, and go
south. Enter the castle you see; you don't have to fight your way in. Go to
the palace and talk to the leader. He will show you to your sleeping quarters.
Then, he will attack you in your sleep. You wake up and enter a battle, with
severely reduced armies.
*****BATTLE 22*****
Zhao Fan - 1594
Bao Long - 1255
Chen Ying - 1197
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 380
The only challenge to this battle is everyone starts with 200-300 men. Have
Wei Yan use Yin Xian right away, and have everyone else attack Zhao Fan, but
have Zhao Yun use Yan Re. Once everyone is back up to regular health, this
fight will be a cinch.
******************
Now this town becomes completely docile. You can heal and save here, and
invite Liu Bei in. He will siimply tell you that the fighting in Jing Zhou
needs to be stopped. Guess its up to you to stop it. Every fight between
here and the next castle will be simple because of your almighty bows. All
out against anyone. The fight at the gate (#23) is simple. Now for the
castle, which is not much harder.
*****BATTLE 24*****
Liu Du - 1672
Xing Da o Rong - 1519
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 350
Bows must be the cheapest weapons in the game. These battles are too easy
with them. Oh well, guess its a lot quicker. The end of this battle restores
peace to Jing Zhou.
******************
Enter Ling Ling castle. Heal and save. If you try and invite Liu Bei here,
the scribe will say that Liu Bei is going to Gui Yang, the last castle you
were at. You should visit him in a bit. First, go around the edge of the town
to a house on the left, and search in front of the man inside. You'll find a
sword. Equip it on Zhang Fei. It is only 1 attack, but does as much as 2 bow
hits would. Though he won't get two hits anymore, now Power Pils can be used
effectively again for hits of over 1000 damage.
Now go back to Liu Bei in Gui Yang. You will probably meet up with a mighty
tactician named Pang Tong on the way back...
*****BATTLE 25*****
Pang Tong - 3765
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 320
Rebel Force - 320
Pang Tong is... well strong. He has quite a good few men, and very advanced
tactics such as Ji Mian, which stops you from attacking, Da Re, a fire spell
capable of huge damage to one army, and Wan Fu, which allows a full heal of
the target army. Ouch. Well, just never cease to attack Pang Tong. When hurt,
heal. However, with your bows, you can kill him in two turns flat, and so
just hope he doesn't use any of his big guns.
******************
When he's defeated, he'll join you. Yay. Replace Xu Zhe with him, and if you
wish, put him in your battle party in place of Huang Zhong, due to his sheer
mass of men and great tactical capablities. But, on the other hand, greater
attack is better for now. Just let Pang Tong do his stuff from behind the
fight. When you get back to Gui Yang, Liu Bei gives you a letter for Xu Zhe
saying he needs to leave to care for his sick mother. Good thing you have
Pang Tong. When you walk out of the palace, Xu Zhe says something he almost
forgot. He is telling you to go see Zhu Ge Liang at his house, which is
the third one down to the left of Nan Yang. Go there. Stock up on Gull Wings,
you're gonna need em. Also note that the game music has now changed from the
fun, upbeat squeeky noise, to a more mellow, epic sort of sound. This is how
it will be until the end of the game.
*****Zhu Ge Liang Scavenger Hunt*****
When you arrive at Zhu Ge Liang's house, he is not there. You must go to Lou
Sang villiage, where you began the game. Gullwing to Xu Zhou. Enter the small
house and ask the man there, who will say Zhu Ge Liang was there but left.
Now go back to his house, and the man there will refer you to Nan Yang. Go to
Nan Yang, invite Liu Bei in. Talk to him and he says someone named Jin came
and was looking for you. Now go back to Zhu Ge Liang's house one last time.
You see Zhu Ge Liang sleeping. Talk to him but choose not to wake him, and
he will awaken by himself. He says he will join but go to Gui Yang castle
first.
Now gullwing to Chang Sha and go down to Gui Yang and meet up with him
in the palace. Finally! In rapid succession you just got the 2 best tacticians
in the game. However, you can only use one of them, so you should make Zhu Ge
Liang the acting strategist and now if you want, put Pang Tong into your party
in place of Wei Yan. Also, around this time, your health bars should change
from orange to light yellow.
Now, go west to Ling Ling castle, heal, and save, and venture onward. Soon
you should meet up with a pretty crazy battle...
*****BATTLE 26*****
Lu Bu - 7003
Rebel Force - 700
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is easier than it looks, though Lu Bu will take a while to kill,
and he does around 800 damage a hit. Best ways to deal with him are power
pils. If you have the tactic Da Re, it is also very effective, so have Guan
Yu, Zhao Yun, and Pang Tong use it, while the others attack. Hopefully Lu
Bu doesn't get any critical attacks before you kill him (and this time, you
kill him for good). Also, if you have Bei Ji, that would be great right now,
for double attacks. Yi Xin can also be good, to prevent Lu Bu from attacking.
Whatever you do, just have fun killing the stupid traitor.
******************
Return to Ling Ling to heal and save. Now, I suggest you spend a lot of time
building up levels, at least to 25. Yes it may seem like a lot, but this new
area we've entered has many new generals and the rebel forces all have many
more men. Plus, experience should come pretty quickly. Also note that from
this point on there will be no more pirate, brigand, or bandit forces. Only
rebel forces. Something else to keep in mind: make sure that Zhang Fei has
your one sword equipped right now. Always keep him with at least 2 power pills
at hand. Give Chi Tu Ma to Pang Tong. Then, if you get into a battle with
some really big armies against you, have Pang Tong use Bei Ji and then Zhang
Fei use a power pill- he will deal over 2,000 damage! Hong Shui is another
great tactic right now. When near water, you can have Pang Tong deal over
1,000 damage to every opponent! Ouch.
Travel past Ling Ling, down, up, around, down, left, etc... until you reach
a house between some mountains. This is the gateway into the kingdom of Shu,
a land ruled by Liu Bei's brother which is in turmoil right now. Time for
you to step in. Before stepping in, make sure to have elixer Cs for everyone.
----------
VIII. Shu
----------
Head west until you reach a fortress.
*****BATTLE 27*****
Liu Kui - 3262
Zhang Ren - 3262
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
There are no tacticians on the other team, so this fight is pretty simple.
Use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and just have everyone attack, on Zhang Ren first
and then Liu Kui. Should be dead in a few turns.
******************
There is nothing of interest in this fortress. Continue northward. You will
go through a series of twisting mountain paths. Also watch out around here,
for you can meet up with Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who are two of the strongest
generals in the game, especially Ma Chao. Eventually you will reach a castle
with a gate. Defeat the gate (#28) and attack Fu Shui castle.
*****BATTLE 29*****
Yan Yan - 3262
Fa Zheng - 2965
Yang Huai - 2965
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
These opponents are all very capable. Yan Yan is both an expert fighter and
a superb tactician. Yang Huai's attack is nothing to scoff at, either. I
suggest you use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and have everyone attack except Pang Tong
who should use Da Re on Yan Yan or Yang Huai. When they're dead, all out to
win.
******************
Enter Fu Shui castle, heal, and save. Enter the palace, which cannot entertain
Liu Bei. Go through the door to the right, and then you see a prison cell. Keep
pushing your character against it, repeatedly tapping, or backing away and
running into it. Eventually the door will break. Then talk to the man. Now go
to the weapons shop. If you feel like making the switch from Bow to Sword, you
can. You should probably just keep your bows until the next weapon after sword
comes along. Also get copper helmets.
Head northward once you are at least level 26. Attack the gate at the next
castle (#30, I suggest using Hong Shui for an easy win). Now, let's attack Lou
castle.
*****BATTLE 31*****
Ma chao - 3262
Ma Dai - 3110
Pang De - 2965
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is hard. You are facing Ma Chao, one of the 5 Tiger generals (you
have 4 on your side right now), Ma Dai, his almost as strong brother, and Pang
De, an obvious relative of Pang Tong and also an expert tactician. All of his
tactics are dangerous to you, so I would recommend killing him first. But to
start this battle, have Pang Tong use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and have everyone
else cast it on themselves except Zhang Fei, who should use a power pill on
Ma Chao. Next turn, have Pang Tong use Da Re on Ma Dai, and have everyone else
attack Ma Chao, except zhang Fei who should use another power pil, on Pang De.
After this turn, there shouldn't be much left of your opponent. All out attack
to defeat them. Now, Ma Chao and Ma Dai will join you. Put Ma Chao in your line
up in place of Huang Zhong, but keep him with you. Keep Ma Dai in the reserve.
We still want Pang Tong leading the party.
******************
Enter Lou Castle. Note that you can gullwing here, so you can now go between
older cities and here easily. Heal here, and go somewhere else to save if you
want. Continue south of Lou and you come to a cave. In this cave is the Iron
Ore, which you will really want. The cave is relatively small. Take the lower
of the 2 pathways left at the beginning and its straight directions from there
to the Iron Ore. Gullwing out to Lou when you have it. Then go back to Fu Shui,
go a bit south of there, and hook around back up to a house, and give the ore
to the blacksmith. Gullwing back to Lou, and return to Mt. Gang Tai (the cave).
Take the path upwards this time to get through.
When outside, go down and left, then hook back up to a fortress. This battle
consists only of weak generals that you've probably faced many times out in
the open before. Do not hesitate to kick their asses.
Enter Mian Zhu Guan fortress. In the leftmost tent, there is a treasure chest
with a battleax in it. Give the battleax to Zhang Fei and his Sword to Ma Chao.
Leave and continue onwards. Attack the gate at the next castle.
*****BATTLE 33*****
Lei Tong - 3110
Wu Lan - 2965
Rebel Force - 850
Rebel Force - 850
Rebel Force - 1000
Though Lei Tong and Wu Lan both have great attacks, you totally outnumber them,
outsmart them, and out hit them. Plus you've faced them both many times. Time
to whoop them.
******************
Now Cheng Du
*****BATTLE 34*****
Liu Zheng - 4142
Gao Pei - 2872
Wu Yi - 3589
Wang Lei - 2827
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is much easier than it looks. The big "bad guy" Liu Zheng is very
weak in strength and intelligence, despite his mass of soldiers. Gao Pei and Wu
Yi are moderate, but you've beaten them before. Wang Lei is just crap. Use Bei
Ji on Zhang Fei with his battleax, then have him power-pill attack Liu Zheng
and then Wu Yi. Kiss them goodbye. Pang Tong should Bei Ji Zhang Fei the first
turn, then do Da Re on Gao Pei. Everyone else can attack whoever. Voila, you win,
Liu Bei now rules Shu.
******************
In Cheng Du, heal, save, and invite Liu Bei in. He says something about the
blacksmith and your swords. Don't worry about that yet. Go buy battleaxes
for everyone who doesn't have one yet (except of course Zhu Ge Liang). Get Chain
Mails for everyone. Don't go back to the swordsmith yet. Spend some time around
here facing battles and owning with your battleaxes. You can gain some quick
levels. Get to at least level 29.
Ok, now go to the swordsmith's house. He tells you he made 5 great swords and
tells you what he named them. But they were stolen! Oh no! Don't worry. You'll
find them in various places later on.
Return to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei. He gives you a speech about how the
world is all good right now, but he says Shu is too vast for him to control
alone, so he makes Guan Yu the ruler of Chang Sha and Zhang Fei the ruler of
Gui Yang. This is to help keep the peace in Jing Zhou, a very hostile area.
But suddenly something happens. Some time passes, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
have left. Now two messengers come and say that Cao Cao and Sun Ce both died.
Uh oh. And, Wu is attacking Jing Zhou, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are barely
holding on. You must go help them. First, gullwing to Chang Sha. Go to the
palace and speak with Guan Yu, who offers his son to join your army. Good!
Do the same at Gui Yang where Zhang Fei's son will join you. Alright, awesome.
They are both a bit weaker in stats than their fathers but have the same men
and all the stuff the two dads left with.
Go back to Cheng Du and speak to Liu Bei. He says that Wu has invaded Jing Zhou.
Head to Wu Ling first and fight the enemies there.
*****BATTLE 35*****
Fan Zhang - 4780
Chen Wu - 5014
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 300
Rebel Force - 320
This is your first fight against generals from Wu. These two are sort of strong,
but with power pils and you battle axes, you'll have them routed in no time.
******************
Head to Gui Yang. Heal, save, and reload on power pils. Now go to Ling Ling to
fight.
*****BATTLE 36*****
Ling Tong - 5516
Wu Fan - 5014
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 380
This battle is just as easy as the last one, because Ling Tong isn't that strong
and Wu Fan doesn't have any dangerous tactics. Use power pils and whoop them.
******************
-------
IX. Wu
-------
Get back to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei again. He gives another speech, and this
time you'll do some butting in also. At the end of the speech, 3 people now claim
the title of emperor. Woah. Go back to Gui Yang and you will find a bridge there
now. Woah, cool. You can cross it and explore a bit if you want, but until you
are level 31, stay close to Gui Yang. There are dozens of new generals in Wu,
and many of them have immense strength, armies reaching over 10,000, and very
vicious tactics. Stay near water, because Pang Tong can use Shui Long to do over
2,000 damage to every enemy. Always keep a fresh supply of power pils, especially
on Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who are your strongest attackers now. At level 30, your
health bars should change to light blue.
At level 31, heal and save. Take Pang Tong out of your battle party, but keep him
with you. Put it Huang Zhong now. Give Chi Tu Ma to Zhao Yun. Heal, save, and
head west and south of Gui Yang now. Generals to watch out for in this area, some
you may have met while building up, include Tai Ci Si, Zhou Yu, Lu Sun, Lu Su,
among others. Do not hesitate to try retreating if you face any of them. Attack
the first castle you come to.
*****BATTLE 37*****
Gan Ning - 6069
Lu Su - 6365
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1300
Gan Ning is a strong general, but he is the least of your worries. Lu Su has Ji
Mian, Yi Xin, and Li Jian, which prevent you from attacking, prevent one general
from doing anything, and cause one general to attack his allies, respectively.
First turn, have everyone cast Bei Ji on themselves. Next turn, have everyone
attack Lu Su with powerpils except Zhao Yun who should use Huo Shen. That will
do over 3000 damage to anyone it hits, but probably won't hit Lu Su. One dose
of that should be sufficient. Then just own the battle with your Bei Jied hits.
******************
Enter Jian An. Make sure everyone has at least 1 elixer D. Go to the back of
the town and search in front of the lone tree for some Dead Wood. Now leave
and head north into the cave in the mountains. In the cave, take the lower
fork and take the stairs you see. Then go left and up on the next floor. The
path to the saltpeter which you came for is straightforward. Gullwing out to
Jian An when done.
Talk to the man standing in place in the front part of the town. He will take
your saltpeter and dead wood and make dam so you can get across the canal. Leave
and head south. You will come to a fortress where you will fight a very hard
battle...
*****BATTLE 38*****
Zhou Yu - 6365
Gu Yong - 5014
Kan Ze - 5259
Rebel Force - 1100
Ok, you're up against 3 tacticians. Zhou Yu is probably tied for the most
dangerous in the game, next to Cao Pi, Si Ma Yi, and very few others. He is
who you want dead the fastest. First turn, have everyone use Bei Ji. Then,
have everyone attack except Zhao Yun who should use Huo Shen. You will
probably have to heal often, since these guys love to use Hong Shui. Guan
Xing should do the healing, he's your weakest man. Use power pils and just
try to get Zhou Yu dead as fast as you can, and hope he doesn't ues Wan Fu
too many times. Also note he has An Sha, which can wipe out an entire general
of yours with one swipe. Hopefully someone has some ressurects, which we've
not really needed so far. When you finally get Zhou Yu dead, get Kan Ze, and
then all out to finish. An alternate way to start the battle would've been
for Zhao Yun to cast Ce Mian the first turn to ward off enemy tactics for
whatever number of turns it lasts.
******************
Gullwing back to Chang Sha. Reload on power pils and gullwings, and gull
back to Jian An. Continue past the fortress you just beat until you get to
another castle.
*****BATTLE 39*****
Zhu Ge Jin - 6365
Jang Qin - 5259
Han Dang - 5516
Rebel Force - 1100
This is a rather easy battle vs Zhu Ge Liang's bad brother. Whoop up on
them with powerpils and Zhou Yun using Shui Long when he's Bei Jied.
******************
Enter Wu castle. Heal, save, and leave. Continue onwards. You come to
the first confusing cave in the game. This one is big and stupid. Get
to level 33 before going in, and make sure to have elixer Ds for everyone.
Uhhh... I'll try to give directions, though if you can find a map somewhere
on the internet (like my site http://cge.ffmyths.com) this would be much
easier. The first two rooms are very small. Then there's a big floor. Follow
the path around, then go down at the fork. On the next floor take the stairs
right next to you, and on the next follow the plain path around. Again take
the stairs next to you. On this floor, follow the path, go left at first
fork, right at second, down at third. This leads you to Nu Long, one of the 5
swords. Give it to Ma Chao. Now backtrack to that last fork, and go right to
get out of the cave.
Go north for a darn long while until you come to a gate and a fortress. The
gate is guarded by just Ding Feng. All out vs him, he's weak. Attack the
fort now.
*****BATTLE 41*****
Chen Pu - 9326
Zhang Zhao - 8082
Bu Xi - 7003
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
The reason this fight will be tough is cuz you just went on a long journey
since your last heal, so you probably are way down on tactic points. Use
Bei Ji on Zhao Yun and Ma Chao only. Everyone should attack Zhang Zhao
with whatever power pills you might have, but Zhao Yun should use Huo Shen.
Good luck winning, a lot depends on if they use a lot of annoying tactics
like Li Jian, Ji Mian, Yi Xin, and Wan Fu.
******************
Enter Po Yang fortress, which lovingly has a place to rest in. Leave and
go southwest. Attack the gate, and then attack Jin Du.
*****BATTLE 43*****
Sun Yu - 13027
Zhang Hong - 10763
Zhu Zhi - 10261
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
These generals have huge armies. 2 are amazing fighters, 1 is an annoying
tactician. However, with Bei Jied power pil attacks (on the tactician)
and Bei Jied Shui Long uses, you should be able to take them down quickly.
******************
Be very happy, for Jin Du is on your gullwing list, you can go to and
from here easily. Heal now. Before talking to anyone, buy crossbows for
everyone except Ma Chao and Bronze Helmets for everyone. Now talk to the
soldier in the middle of the town to initiate a fight.
*****BATTLE 44*****
Lu Meng - 14333
3 Rebel Force - ????
This is a strong general and even greater tactician. Use Bei Jei on
everyone, then give him dose after dose of attacks. He may use Wan Fu,
which would ****. Hope he doesn't! Don't use powerpils except with Ma
Chao, because everyone else has double attack weapons. Huo Shen wouldn't
hurt. When you beat him he runs off, saying you're strong but Tai Si Ci
is stronger. Phhtt you've beaten Tai Si Ci a few times already I assume.
******************
Gull out of Jin Du to someplace where you can get powerpils and more
gullwings and come back. Head south of Jin Du to find a house. Attack
the group of pirates inside. They all have over 10K men but they're
easy. Return to Jin Du and talk to a man who will give you Qing Long,
another one of the 5 swords. Give it to Zhang Bao.
Now, wander around the area, and attack the gates of the next castle
if you wish (#44-46), but don't attack Jian Ye until you're level 38
so some of your guys have over 10K men. Also your health bars should
turn dark blue about now. Now then, heal and save. Give Ma Chao's Nu
Long to Zhao Yun just for this battle, because Zhao Yun has over 10K
men and Ma Chao does not, so we want the best damage we can give out.
Attack Jian Ye castle.
*****BATTLE 48*****
Tai Si Ci - 15769
Lu Sun - 11814
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1300
Well, though you've probably faced both of these generals at random
times before, this time they're together. And you can't just go all
out with tactics, because this battle is a 2 parter, and any Bei Jis
will not carry over to the next part. So, Bei Ji just Zhao Yun and
Zhang Bao. Everyone should focus attacks on Lu Sun, though Zhao Yun
should use Huo Shen once. I feel confident you should be able to take
down these two with relative ease. But now comes part 2 of the battle...
Sun Quan - 19087
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1300
Wow. Sun Quan is a monster. 228 strength with 240 AP to back it up,
and plenty of men to keep him over 10K for a while. And, he has very
high intelligence and some of our least favorite tactics like Ji Mian,
Li Jian, and Yi Xin. So, start out with everyone using Bei Ji on himself.
Next turn, have everyone attack except Guan Xing, who should use Huo Shen.
If he fails to hit Sun Quan with it, try again with Zhao Yun the next turn.
Just keep attacking turn by turn, and use any power pills Zhang Bao and Zhao
Yun might have. Don't let anyone get down too low on health, because if Sun
Quan does a super attack... **shudder**. Yeah, so just focus your energy and
take this sucker down. After all, he wants to take over China, and so do you,
so he's just kinda in your way. At the end he gives another speech, then dies.
So closes the Wu chapter, for Liu Bei's army now occupies it all.
******************
-------
X. Wei
-------
Enter Jian Ye, heal, save, and invite. Liu Bei says Cao Pi must die, and you
should attack from "Jian Ye, northeast of here" which is an obvious mistake-
you're in Jian Ye! Anyways, go to the weapon shops and replace your crossbows
with Lances. Also give Nu Long back to Ma Chao. Do not buy the mail here for
there is better armor at the next town. For now, just go outside to the east
and wander around a bit. There are many new generals with armies reaching over
20 and 30K men, so you should definately do some leveling up. Generals to watch
out for include Cheng Yu, Yang Xiu, Chen Qun, Cao Zhi, Guo Jia,
When you reach level 39, head east and north of Jian Ye for your next fight.
Attack the gate (easy fight, #49). Then attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 49*****
Zhang Liao - 13027
Cao Zhen - 10763
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1800
This battle, though the opposing generals don't have too many men, is hard
because they're BOTH strong warriors and elite tacticians, especially Zhang
Liao. Bei Ji everyone and power pill Zhang Liao to death before he kills
anyone with An Sha. If he does, don't worry about resurrecting, just kill
the bastard. Cao Zhen can go next. Don't all out against these guys. I suggest
using Shui Long once or twice with Bei Ji for whoopass potential.
******************
Enter Guang Ling castle and talk to the first person you see after the guard.
This is Jiang Wei, a great tactician and good fighter, who gains men like
all your other generals right now, and gets as many as Zhao Yun. He is so good
that you should replace Huang Zhong with him. Keep the old fart around though,
in case you need a backup when someone dies. Give Chi Tu Ma to Jiang Wei. In
the middle of a town, a tree sticks out on the side. Search there to find Bo
Ye, another sword. It is not as strong as the first 2 you got, but still
stronger than any generic weapons. Give it to Guan Xing. Now go in the weapon
shop and buy Plate Mail for everyone.
Go back to Jian Ye and save. Build up to level 40. Heal, save, and continue
past Guang Ling castle. You might consider getting some smoke pots. Oh and
while fighting you should notice your health bars changed to a cool green.
That's the last color. After a lot of walking you come to a gate.
*****BATTLE 50*****
Cao Pi - 20020
Cao Ren - 14333
Xia Huo Dun - 13665
Rebel Force - 1500
Rebel Force - 1800
Your first battle against the second hardest opponent in the game- Cao Pi.
And, there's a very high chance you will be suprised as you enter the battle.
So you're already starting a turn behind. Get everyone Bei Jied as soon as
possible. Have Jiang Wei use Shui Long at least once, but more times if TP
permits. Save the rest of your points for healing. Basically, gang up on Cao
Pi with power pils before he can An Sha and Hong Shui you to death. He's your
main worry and probably will be a real pain. If you can get him dead its smooth
sailing from there.
******************
Gullwing first back to someplace with Power Pills so you can reload. Then gull
back to Jian Ye, get more Elixer Ds and gulls, heal, and save. Get more smoke
pots, because you've got to take that long hike again. This time we're going
even further. Continue past He Fei fortress where you fought Cao Pi. Go across
one bridge, then another, and then straight down. You will see a castle protected
by some gates. Go in and attack! The first gate is just against some Caos (#51),
but they're weak. The second (#52) is against some Xia Huo's. They're easy, too.
Now, attack Ru Nan.
*****BATTLE 53*****
Cao Pi - 20020
Cao Zhang - 19087
Cao Ang - 18197
Xia Huo Mao - 16504
Rebel Force - 1800
Here's Cao Pi again, this time with a load of strong backup, including the 7th
strongest general in the game, Cao Zhang. Yeah, that says something. You WILL
be caught off guard in this battle, so you'll have a round of beating on you
before you can even get going. Now on your first turn, everyone should use Bei
Ji. Second turn, everyone attack Cao Pi with powerpils except Jiang Wei, using
Huo Shen or Shui Long (depending where you initiated the battle). This will
probably bring Cao Pi down below 5K. Do one more power pill attack and one more
regular on him to kill him. Hopefully he never An Shaed anyone. You should be
strong enough to all out after this to finish them.
But wait! Si Ma Yi has arrived! And he's backstabbing Cao Pi! Sounds like a cool
guy. Well, he kills Cao Pi and gives you his head. However, he says he claims Wei
for his own, then does some crazy thunder on you, and you wake up in Jian Ye.
******************
Heal, save, and go talk to Liu Bei. He says Guan Yu's other son found you unconsious
and brought you back to Jian Ye. He says you should go to Chang Sha to talk to him.
So, do so! When you talk to him he says he knows Si Ma Yi's thunder tactic, and says
the counter is to press up, up, down, down, left, right, up, down before the attack
hits. Also restock on power pills here, and get everyone at least three of them.
Now gullwing back to Jian Ye. Reload on gullwings and elixer Ds. Make sure you
are at least level 44 before heading out. Huang Zhong should have his inventory full
of them since he's not fighting. You will probably get to level 45 on the way.
Upon reaching Ru Nan, touch the castle from the left side, so you are away from the
water, because Si Ma Yi can use Shui Long. When it starts, you will first have to
counter the thunder. If you mess up you are returned to Jian Ye. So don't mess up.
Now, the battle starts.
*****BATTLE 54*****
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Xu Zhu - 20020
Dian Wei - 20020
Rebel Force - 1800
Rebel Force - 1500
You'll probly be caught off guard. Now, do a report on Si Ma Yi. He has 250
intelligence, so he will a) be able to hit any of your guys with his tactics
successfully and b) it will be hard for you to hit him with tactics. He has Huo
Shen and Shui Long, two tactics that hardly any of your opponents had before. He
also has Bei Ji, so his attacks and tactics will be twice strength once he uses
it. In addition, he has Wan Fu, and coupled with his 40K men, will mean a long,
hard, tedious fight. And this isn't the only time you face him- you fight him 2
more times!
Begin this battle with Bei Ji on everyone. Now, focus on killing Xu Zhu, and then
Dian Wei. Don't use power pills - save those for Si Ma Yi. You can use Huo Shen a
few times, but try and save tactic points for healing. You will be healing often
because Si Ma Yi loves to hit everyone for 4K damage with Huo Shen. Do power pil
attacks on Si Ma Yi until you get him down to around or below 10K. But, if you
are in range of killing him in just one more turn, start that turn with Jiang Wei
using Ce Mian so Si Ma Yi can't use Wan Fu. That should work and have him dead.
******************
Enter Ru Nan castle. Heal, and go to the weapon shop. Buy Steel Helmets for everyone.
Now go back to Jian Ye and restock on Elixer Ds and Gullwings, and definately get
some smokepots. Also go to Chang Sha or one of the places that has power pills and
restock until everyone but Jiang Wei has 3, for Jiang should have ressurects.
Save and gull back to Ru Nan and get ready to go through a big cave. Go through the
little niche in the mountains at the back of Ru Nan.
Go left at the first fork, left at the next, and right at the next. Go to the stairs.
Don't worry about treasures you're passing by. They all ****, except one in the cave
we're making sure to get, which is one of the 5 swords. On the next floor go left
and then immediately up, which leads you around to the next stairs. Next part is
very
small, take the next stairs. So is the next. Keep going. On the next floor go towards
the lava and through it. It won't hurt too much. Get only the first chest which has
Wan Sheng in it. Give it to Zhao Yun. The other chests just have armor you don't
need.
Backtrack out of the lava and go up. Take the first set of stairs you see. Go down,
and take the left of the the 3 paths. This takes you out of the cave. However, walking
outside you see yet another cave. Argh. Inside, go left and follow the floor to the
stairs. Go down and curve back up to the stairs downward. Follow that to a Halberd,
the strongest weapon in the game. Give it to Ma Chao, give Nu Long to Zhao Yun, and
Wan Sheng to Jiang Wei. Go back 2 stairs and this time go left at the fork. Follow
this floor (has green ground) until a fork. Go diagonal up-right for Qing Guang.
Give
it to Guan Xing, and give Bo Ye to Zhu Ge Liang or Huang Zhong to hold, though it
doesn't really matter. Go back down, right, up-right, up, and to the stairs. Grab
the chest in your way (power pil) if you want and give it to Ma Chao who has the
best
weapon of anyone. Now you'll get out of the cave.
Odds are you're level 47 by now. Hope you didn't use any tactics on your journey.
You'll need them for the battles ahead. Go north and west to the next gate (#55).
Use Huang Zhong and Zhu Ge Liang's spare elixer Ds to get everyone's HP back up.
Now attack the gate.
*****BATTLE 56*****
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Yang Xiu - 20999
Jiang Gan - 19087
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1500
Uh oh. You may have all your tactic points, elixer Ds, resurrects, power pils, and
the best physical army in the land, but you're up against 2 generals with Wan Fu,
Ji Mian, and Yi Xin. Plus, you're close enough to the water where Si Ma Yi can use
Shui Long and the other two can use Hong Shui. You're in for a rough ride unless
you play your cards right. Start with a round of Bei Jis on everyone except Jiang
Wei, who should use Ce Mian. Gang up on Si Ma Yi with power pills until he is dead,
and whenever Ce Mian runs out, use it again. When Si Ma Yi is dead, you can stop
using power pills and Ce Mian. Take out Yang Xiu and then Jiang Gan. These two
wont last long against an army of Bei Jied warriors.
******************
Go past the fortress and head north to Chin castle.
*****BATTLE 57*****
Xun Huo - 25418
Li Dian - 23103
Wang Shuang - 20999
Rebel Force - 1800
Rebel Force - 1800
Odds are you have between 20 and 40 tactic points left, 0-2 power pils left on
any given man, and you don't want to face another guy with Wan Fu. Don't use
any Bei Jis. Take out Li Dian and Wang Shuang, then slowly work down Xun Huo.
If you heal, make sure you save at least 15 tactic points. When he is in
range of killing in one turn, use Ce Mian. Use your last power pils to kill the
sucker. Take out his lackeys afterwards. If at some time before you kill him
he An Shas someone, use a resurrect and then 3 elixer Ds or 2 and a heal, but
like I said, be penny-pinching with your tactic points so you have that 15.
******************
In Chin castle you find out that Si Ma Yi controls a newly rebuilt Luo Yang castle.
His very strong, intelligent sons are helping him guard it. Sounds like fun.
Walk outside and you see a bridge built. You can go across it and wow! You're right
next to Luo Yang castle! Don't fight yet. Gullwing to Chang Sha or Chang An and
fill up on power pils- 3 for Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Guan Xing, 4 for Ma Chao.
Fill the rest of your space with at least 3 resurrects spread out and at least 1
elixer D per person. Go to Xu Zhou to save. This is the closest place on your gullwing
list that can attack Luo Yang- the path from Yang Zhou has been blocked off.
Blow past the gates of Luo Yang, poorly defended as they are by the last remaining
beleagured troops of Wei. If you're not level 50 by now, get to that by building
up
around Chin. Once level 50, gullwing to Ji Zhou. In there, go around the right wall
to a house, where a man will raise your level to 51. This is the highest level. Cool.
Return to Xu Zhou, heal, and save. If you're fully stocked, attack Luo Yang.
===============================================================================
******************************FINAL BATTLE PART 1******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Ma Shi - 27965
Si Ma Zhao - 30767
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 150
Rebel Force - 150
Alright... let's see. Si Ma Yi's two loving sons which he seems to have raised
well, because they're both very bright people. And they even try to taunt you
into submission before every attack of theirs. What a nice thing to teach your
kids.
Begin the battle with Jiang Wei using Ce Mian and everyone else using Bei Ji.
Each time Ce Mian runs out, use it again. These generals are dangerous and not
afraid to use An Sha and Wan Fu. You will not need tactic points for anything
but Ce Mian, because if you gang up on the two generals one at a time with
powerpils, you can get them dead very quickly (Ma Chao will be doing insanely
high amounts of damage). I really doubt you can get into a very big predicament
fighting them, though I could be wrong. When they're dead, you obviously know
there must be more, because you didn't fight Si Ma Yi. And here he is...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
Si Ma Yi says its his destiny to rule, and you can't prevent. Well you can,
just not in your tacticless condition. Though it may not seem like it, you can
run from this battle. Either do that or use the Gui Han tactic. Fill back up on
powerpils, heal, save, and come back. Now, you will not have to fight his sons,
just the battle against Si Ma Yi and his henchmen.
===============================================================================
******************************FINAL BATTLE PART 2******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Yu Jin - 30767
Wei Xu - 27965
Cheng Yu - 24233
Xu Zhu - 20020
Alright, going into this battle, you should be confident, since you've taken on
all the other foes this game could throw at you, and you outnumber these guys
roughly 5:2 if you're on level 51. You also have the superior brains. Though
they may have infinite TP, you know how to use them better. So, try not to get
frustrated if you get An Shaed or repeatedly Huo Shened when Si Ma Yi is Bei
Jied. Just know that you're superior to these punks.
Kick it off with a round of Bei Ji. Wittle down Cheng Yu until he is dead- he
is the most dangerous, with An Sha in his arsenal. When he's gone you can worry
a bit less and focus on getting the fighter generals out of the way. If at any
time someone dies, use 2 elixer Ds and 1 Jin Xian, to get them back up over 10K,
and repeat this if they fall back under. You should be able to successfully
revive 4 people if everyone has 1-2 elixer Ds.
When only Si Ma Yi is left, spend a few turns attacking, and defend for however
long necessary if he uses Ji Mian. If you get him down to about 15K, Jiang Wei
should use Ce Mian followed by everyone else attacking with powerpils. Odds are
this will kill him. If you accidentally get Si Ma Yi to low on health and he gets
a chance he will Wan Fu and be fresh as new. And he will barage you with Huo Shens
a lot. Hopefully you get him down to the right health and can finish him, because
you only have so many powerpils and TP until you're a goner. If you win, he has
some last sentiments, and then he dies. Yay. Congratulate yourself. Kiss the
nearest person. No more fighting. Now its time for the ending pieces.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
The music changes to that of victory. Ahhh it sounds so sweet. Enter Luo Yang and
gaze upon its majestic looks as a newly rebuild city. Everyone is talking of peace
and happy things. Go to the scribe and invite Liu Bei in. If you want to fight Si
Ma Yi again, don't save.
Enter the palace. Talk to Liu Bei and hear his final speech:
"Zhang Bao, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei, Guan Xing, Ma Chao, Zhu Ge Liang, Huang Zhong,
my people. Finally peace reigns again. I thank you all for your devoted effort.
Through this great trial, I have gained much wisdom. I will rule fairly but with
an iron hand so that no uprising can threaten the peace again."
Now its time for the credits! Yippee! We get to see lots of clips of Liu Bei,
Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in many places they never were together to some funky
music. Woohoo! Between each scene are some names, and portraits are displayed
of characters. Capcom thanks you for playing at the end. Pat yourself on the back,
give yourself a high five, whatever. You just beat on of the coolest RPGs ever.
I haven't tried the sequel, maybe you should try it.

I. About
---------
Destiny of an Emperor, released by Capcom on the NES in 1989, is a very
underrated and not well known RPG. However, it is not only a long and
enjoyable game, but it is based on a true period of ancient Chinese
history, known as the Three Kingdoms period, which lasted about 50
years in the 200s A.D.
If you would like to learn more about this story, there are many websites
that have full information on the spectacular wars and unique people that
shaped this period of the past. The largest site I know of, which covers
every Three Kingdoms game, is www.kongming.net. There you can find full
descriptions and history for any of the amazing characters that you
learn of while playing this game.
--------------------
II. Getting Started
--------------------
An opening sequence shows 3 best friends, warriors Liu Bei, Zhang Fei,
and Guan Yu, swearing an oath of loyalty to each other in a peach garden
in a small village. Afterwards, you learn of recent happenings from a
wise man. In the little village talk to every person. One man, a merchant,
will give you 200 gold and 1,000 rations, which are necessary for the
start of the game. Also, there are two men standing next to each other:
Song Ren and Song Yong. They will add their armies to your cause. However,
they are both very weak. They won't be with you too long, so don't worry.
Before you go outside, make sure to equip Liu Bei's, Guan Yu's, and Zhang
Fei's weapons and armor, and give Liu Bei's dagger to Song Ren. When you
go outside, go directly left to the castle Xu Zhou. When inside, go left
and to the house in the trees. There you will meet Mi Zhe. He will join.
Make him your active tactician. Now, go to the long building, shingled
roof, no curtain on door. There's no name for this place, so we'll call
it the eatery. Go in, and have Song Yong leave your party. He is weaker
than Song Ren and Mi Zhe, and so you don't need him. Also, if you want
a better chance for battles with higher EXP gain, fire Song Yong so you
can fight him out in the open.
Next, if you feel like using any of the 200 gold you started with, you
can go to either of the two shops at the top of the town, one is the
merchant's shop and the other is weapons and armor. Personally, I wait
and save up for Leathers at this time. Whenever you need to heal your
party, go to the closest building to the entrance to the town. That is
the Inn. You can pay a small price there to cure all your armies. And
lastly, to save the game, or in some cases invite Liu Bei to a newly
conquered castle (Liu Bei becomes the emperor later), go to the medium
building, shingle roof, plain door, no window. It's right above the
Eatery and the food shop. You can find out how long you have to wait
until your party increases a level when you save. Also note that
if you ever run out of food, which is seldom because fort and castle
battles give you a lot, you will be losing men every step you take out
in the open, so get to the nearest food store quick.
----------------------------------
III. The Yellow Scarves Rebellion
----------------------------------
Now go to the palace and talk to the king. He says he is sick, and will
make you his heir if you defeat the Yellow Scarves. So, our mission
will be to crush the rebellion. For starters, your generals armies are
very weak right now and you have little equipment. Spend time fighting
battles outside against rebel, bandit, pirate, and brigand forces, and
the occasional random general(s). You should get to level 4 before our
next task, and have leathers for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. and maybe a few
bandanas to go around. Some elixer As wouldn't hurt, either. When you
have done all this, follow the path directly west of Xu Zhou. Touch the
camp entrance and Zhang Bao will make a threat to you, and the battle
begins.
*****BATTLE 1*****
Zhang Bao - 299
Chen Yuan Zhi - 195
Rebel Force - 140
This is a rather easy fight. Start out by having Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and
Guan Yu attack Zhang Bao, and have Song Ren and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo on
Chen Yuan Zhi. Zhang Bao and Chen Yuan Zhi can both use Lian Huo, but
rarely will it hurt. Once you have both of them down to below 100 men
each, do an all out and finish them off. Zhang Bao will say you are too
strong, and retreat.
******************
Enter the large middle tent in the camp and search the corner pot. You
will find an Ax. Give it to Zhang Fei or Guan Yu. Give the replaced Flail
to Song Ren, and his dagger to Mi Zhi. You should've gotten up to level 5
from that battle and learned Chi Xin. If so, go back to Xu Xhou, heal,
and save. If not, fight random battles until you're at level 5. Then,
head south of Xu Zhou and you will find another camp. Zhang Jao mentions
you routing his brother and says the guy was a fool anyways. Now he gives
out a threat! Time to fight!
*****BATTLE 2*****
Zhang Jao - 346
Zheng Mao - 153
Han Zhong - 204
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 100
This battle is a bit tougher than the last one, but not by much. Have
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu attack to get Han Zhong below 100 men,
and have Song Ren and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo to bring down Zheng Mao. Once
they're below 100, concentrate on just attacking Zhang Jao. Use Chi Xin
to heal if necessary, and if Zhang Jao heals one of the other two generals,
attack them again. After Zhang Jao has less that 100 men, do an all out
attack. The battle will end shortly, and Zhang Jao will retreat.
******************
In the camp, enter the largest middle tent and obtain an Ax from a treasure
chest. Equip it on Zhang Fei or Guan Yu, whoever didn't get the last one.
After this, return to Xu Zhou, heal, save, and then go north to Qing Zhou.
DO NOT ATTACK THIS CASTLE FROM THE FRONT! You would be confronted by Zhang
Jao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Zheng Mao, and Chen Yuan Zhi. The result would
not be pretty. Instead, move around to the back of the entrance and press
the castle from there. You will only meet up with Zhang Liang.
*****BATTLE 3*****
Zhang Liang - 259
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 100
Zhang Lian has no tactics. Immediately all out attack. If any of your men
look about to die, pull out and use Chi Xin to heal them. This shouldn't
happen, though.
******************
After the battle, DO NOT try and enter the city! You have not taken it over
yet. If you do attack, you will be faced with all those generals I stated
previously. However, you should now see a cave opened up behind Qing Zhou.
Don't go in yet, because you can't get through if you're not a Yellow Scarves
rebel. What you must do is wander the country until you meet up with Han
Zhong, whose loyalty to Zhang Jao is quavery. If you battle him, you will
capture him, but he may request a steed or money upon joining. Make sure
you have a steed on hand, they can be bought at the merchant shop in Xu
Zhou.
Once Han Zhong is on your side, heal, save, and enter the cave. Put Han
Zhong in front of your party, and talk to the man by the water. He will make
a bridge. You may return Liu Bei to the front of your line, now.
Cross, and then go left and up to get an Ax from a treasure chest.
Equip it on whom you please, preferably Liu Bei. This cave is very small and
easy to navigate. Find 3 men standing side by side. They are the Zhang brothers.
Fight them.
*****BATTLE 4*****
Zhang Jao - 346
Zhang Bao - 299
Zhang Liang - 259
Your armies are now pitted against the 3 strong generals who previously
retreated from you. However, you hold the brains and the superior numbers,
so this will be a swift and sure battle. Have Liu Bei, Han Zhong, Zhang Fei,
and Guan Yu all attack Zhang Liang and Mi Zhi use Lian Huo on him, to wipe
out his army first, because his is the smallest and physically strongest.
After he is dead, go for Zhang Bao, but don't use tactics on him. Tactics
are generally less effective against opposing tacticians. Heal your forces
when necessary. Once he is dead, all out verses Zhang Jao. He may be able
to use Chi Xin, but it won't make up for all the damage you do to him.
Once they're all dead, you can wipe the dust off your armor with their faces
for all I care. The rebellion is over.
******************
Exit the cave through the entrance in front of you. Enter Qing Zhou and go
to the house up and to the right. Enter and talk to Chen Deng. He will join
your force. Replace Han Zhong with him, because he has higher attack and
much higher intelligence. You can make him your tactician, though he has
the same intelligence as Mi Zhi.
--------------
IV. Dong Zhou
--------------
Return to Xu Zhou and talk to the king, who is lying on the bed in the
back room. He will give up his rule to Liu Bei, who will in turn leave
you in order to stay and rule. However, his son, Liu Fend, will be a
worthy replacement, with more men, and slightly higher strength.
Save the game and head south as far as you can go, until you get to
another fort you haven't been to yet. When you enter, Sun Ce (ruler of
the Wu kingdom) tells you he attacked, but failed because Dong Zhou's
forces were too strong, and Yuan Shu didn't send reinforcements.
He leaves you. Don't worry, this battle isn't at all as tough as Sun Ce
said.
*****BATTLE 5*****
Hua Xiong - 439
Li Su - 299
Rebel Force - 100
Rebel Force - 100
Rebel Force - 140
These enemies know no tactics, so an all out straight from the start wouldn't
be suicide, except that Xua Xiong has 162 strength, almost twice as much
as any general you've fought so far! Plus, his immense army will take a few
turns to bring down. Attack him and have Mi Zhi / Chen Deng use Lian Huo.
When Hua Xiong is dead, all out to destroy the rest of them.
******************
In the camp, go to the back and talk to Yang Jin, who will join you. Have him
replace Mi Zhi. Then, go into the right tent for an Ax. In the middle tent
you'll find an Inn. Stay there if you must. Go back outside. If you want to
go back to Xu Zhou to save, you may. Once ready, walk 8 paces west and 1 pace
south of the entrance of the camp. Search the spot and find Chi Tu Ma, who is
Lu Bu's best horse (you'll meet Lu Bu soon). The person who has Chi Tu Ma will
be MUCH faster in battle, and probably go first every turn. I suggest giving
it to Zhang Fei, if you want his strong attack first, or to your best tactic
user, so you can get healings and other tactics in before other attacks in
a battle.
**Note: From here on for a while, make sure to always have a steed with you.
Be on the lookout for Hua Xiong, and if you fight him, hopefully you can capture
him! He can replace Yang Jin.**
Travel west of the camp and immediately upwards to the cave there. On the first
level of the cave, go either all the way left or right, go to the back of the
floor, take the stairs and get about 1,000 coins in a chest. Return to the
entrance to the cave. Go up the middle, go left or right, and take the fork
downward. On the next floor, walk until there is a big fork. Go downward. Take
the stairs, and on the next floor go left and up to the stairs. Obtain the Gold
Key. Make your way back out of the cave. At the entrance, Guan Ping will be waiting
there. He is VERY strong. Replace whatever tactician you have in your battle lineup
with Guan Ping. Now leave and return to Xu Zhou to heal and save.
Also get some more Elixer As while you're there. Go back to where the fork in
the mountains by the cave is and go west. You will come to a fort- here you will
face the mighty Lu Bu for the first time.
*****BATTLE 6*****
Lu Bu - 439
Li Ru -
Rebel Force - 120
Rebel Force - 120
Just one report on Lu Bu will tell you he is the strongest general in the game.
Thus, he is very dangerous to you and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Note that Guan Yu has very high intelligence- he will be using tactics for this
battle. Have him keep doing Ye Huo on Lu Bu while everyone else attacks him
until he is dead. Once he is, Li Ru shouldn't be too much trouble, and the battle
will go quickly from there. After a threat, Lu Bu retreats.
******************
In this fort, go right and talk to Huo Hu, who joins you. Replace your current
tactician with him. Now enter the central tent with the bushes around it. Talk
to Cao Cao, who is the leader of the Imperial Army. He talks of not being able
to catch Dong Zhou and says that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have gone ahead to the
castle of Lou Yang and he goes there also.
Exit the camp, and return all the way back to Xu Zhou to heal and save. Drop
off your old tactician, and replenish any Elixer As you've used up. You should
have at least one on each person. Also get a few Gullwings for easy travel back
Xu Zhou when you need it.
Now then, travel north and west of fort Hu Lao Guan to get to Lou Yang. You will
have to fight a few battles at gates before you fight the battle at the castle.
Battles 7 and 8 will be walks in the park. However, the one at the castle will
be just a little bit tougher. A general (I'm not sure who) will tell you he
failed to take Lou Yang because Dong Zhou and Lu Bu are working together, and
then he leaves you. But I think you can take on this next battle.
*****BATTLE 9*****
Dong Zhou - 439
Lu Bu - 439
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 180
OK- Dong Zhou doesn't have as much strength as Lu Bu, but he does have 20 more
attack power, making him just as dangerous. They both have a lot of men... but
you should take down Lu Bu first, because his attack is still the greatest.
Have everyone attack except Guan Yu who should use Ye Huo. If you want more
firepower, have Liu Feng use Ye Huo also, for he has very high intelligence
also. Just be ready for big attacks from the enemies each turn until you have
them both dead, because they still do a fair amount with under 100 men. When
it is over, Dong Zhou and Lu Bu will retreat.
******************
When you talk into Lou Yang, you will see it has been burned and pillaged. This
once grand capitol of China has been put to ruin. There are only 2 buildings
you can enter. Bottom middle is an Inn, and top left is a house. In the floor
in that house is a safe. Open it with the gold key to find the Gem sword. It
is not a weapon. Give it to Zhang Fei for later use.
Leave the city and continue westward to the next castle, where you shall fight
Lu Bu once again. Make sure Zhang Fei is at the front of your army for this
battle.
*****BATTLE 9*****
Lu Bu - 439
Cai Yong - 380
Hu Zhen - 299
Rebel Force - 150
Rebel Force - 120
On your first turn, have Zhang Fei use the Gem Sword on Lu Bu. When Zhang Fei
uses the Gem Sword on Lu Bu, he will give a speech and then join you. He talks
of Chi Tu Ma, whom you already got earlier.
Now this battle is a cinch without Lu Bu fighting you. Just take care of these
two loser generals the usual way.
******************
After the battle, replace Hua Xiong with Lu Bu in your lineup. Enter Yang Zhou
castle. Stay at the Inn, then save. You cannot invite Liu Bei here, though it
would seem you could because of the palace. Also, go to the lower right house
and search in the pot for a Club. Give this to Lu Bu, and give his Ax to whoever
is still using a flail. Also give Lu Bu Chi Tu Ma, because you want his super
high attack to go first during battle.
As soon as you leave the city, you will see another cave. Inside, go left at
the first fork, and down at the next. On the next floor, grab the Club in the
chest above you. Give it to Zhang Fei. Now go down and left and to the first
staircase you see. This leads to the way out. I suggest you not go to Chang An
right now. Fight some random battles in the area, and when you need healing
go back to Yang Zhou. Always keep some gullwings with you. When you are ready
to attack Chang An, go up to the gate before it to fight the first battle.
*****BATTLE 10*****
Dong Min - 380
Fen Chou - 399
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 180
Fen Chou has the great attack, so kill him first. All out once he is dead.
******************
Now attack Chang An castle.
*****BATTLE 11*****
Dong Zhou - 439
Jia Xu - 418
Zhang Ji - 362
If you had not brought Lu Bu to your side earlier, you would be fighting him
now. This battle is much easier with him on your side. Have all physical attacks
go on Jia Xu until he is dead, and have Guan Yu keep using Shui Xing and Ye Huo
on Dong Zhou and Zhang Ji. Jia Xu is very dangerous, because he uses Shui Zing
a lot, and it hurts. Be proud of yourself when this battle has ended. Dong Zhou
is killed and peace returns to Chang An...
******************
------------
V. Yuan Shu
------------
Now you enter Chang An. It is a giant monster of a city- the biggest in the game.
It is a paradise. This will be your main headquarters until you occupy Nan Yang,
much later. List of things to do here include buying Caps and Clubs for everyone,
stocking up on Elixers and Power Pills, and inviting Liu Bei to the palace. When
he has arrived, go speak with him. He tells you you've done a good job fighting
and he lets you rest. He awakens you however, and summons you to the palace. A
messanger has arrived from Cao Cao bringing ill news. He says general Yuan Shu
has somehow aquired the Imperial Seal and calls himself the Emperor. This is a
problem that must be fixed!
Leave Chang An and travel south. Take the right fork through the mountains. The
house you see to the left is not important until later. Attack the castle you
see ahead.
*****BATTLE 12*****
Lei Bo - 643
Chen Ji - 531
Rebel Force - 200
Rebel Force - 220
This generals may see to have overwhelmingly large armies, but their attacks
are really not great, and neither of them use tactics. Wipe out Lei Bo with
attacks and Guan Yu using Shui Xing. Then all out to kill the rest of them.
******************
This is Yuan castle. Not a very important place. However, you can buy Padded
armors here, which are much stronger than Leather armors. Buy as many as you
can, but they are expensive. Give them first to anyone still wearing a Robe.
Leave and continue south. From here on you will be fighting many generals
with upwards of 500 men, and Rebel, Pirate, Brigand, and Bandit forces now
have over 200 men apiece. Take the shortcut through the mountains and go west.
You will come to a castle where you will fight two very powerful generals.
*****BATTLE 13*****
Ji Ling - 613
Zhang Xun - 675
Rebel Force - 230
Both of these generals have insanely large armies and attack to rival any
of your generals due to the high AP they are given in this battle coupled
with their almost 200 strength each. They are both equally dangerous, so
use Power Pills to kill them quickly, and also have Guan Yu use Shui Xing.
Tactics will be more effective than physical damage because both generals
have very high defense. Once one of the two is defeated, then it should be
safe to all out attack. **Note: These are the two strongest capturable
men before Nan Yang, and I highly advise you to spend time trying to find
and capture them so they can fight for you. Have the first of two you catch
replace Liu Feng and the second replace Guan Ping.**
******************
This is Huai Nan castle. Fairly small, but you can both heal and save here.
Spend some time in the field north of here trying to find Zhang Xun and Ji
Ling before you go any further. You want those two generals ASAP. Also,
around this point in the game, your health bars will change from pink to
orange, because the number of men generals are getting is too great for
the pink scale.
There is a small fortress just to the north of here. The battle is of no
importance to you. You will flatten it. Even farther north is a cave. It
is medium sized and has only 2 floors and then a little one. It is not
hard to navigate and contains 3 spears, so take a trip into it with some
elixers on hand.
Once you are about level 14, return to Huai Nan castle, heal and save.
Now venture northward towards Nan Yang castle. The two gate battles are
sinchy, just squash them. Now to Nan Yang.
*****BATTLE 17*****
Yuan Shu - 899
Yuan Yin - 643
Lu Fan - 817
Rebel Force - 250
Nan Yang would've been much tougher had you not had Lu Bu, because then
there would be a mighty fighter against you as well as all the tacticians.
Luckily, only Yuan Shu has somewhat of an attack. Focus on taking him out
first, with everyone attacking except Guan Yu who should use Yan Re, which
you learned at level 14. This battle may take a bit because all these
generals can heal, but if you have power pills, you should be able to pick
off one or two of them in one round apiece. Watch out for your health- have
Zhang Xun heal if you're low (he has lowest attack). After the battle is
over, you're given the choice weather or not to kill Yuan Shu for being a
traitor, but you actually have to let him go. Oh well.
******************
--------------
VI. Yuan Shao
--------------
Now that the battle is over, DO NOT TAKE A STEP NORTHWARD. Just enter Nan
Yang RIGHT AWAY. Once you've gone in and healed and saved, take off all
of Lu Bu's items and give them to Guan Ping, who will replace him. Give
Chi Tu Ma to Zhang Fei now, though. He will keep him for a while. Now
when you step outside and go a few steps north, you will be met with a
horrifying battle. You don't have to fight this one, though. Yuan Shao and
Yuan Shu show up with immense armies and backing generals, and bully you
for a turn. Lu Bu switches sides, seeing that he is on the "losing" side.
That's why you took his stuff away.
Now go back inside the castle and heal. Invite Liu Bei in and talk to him.
He will thank you for killing Yuan Shu, but this is a typo. You didn't kill
him and he's off with his big brother. Also, go to the northest corner of
the town and talk to a man walking around. Buy the key from him, even though
4,000 is a lot, it is more than worth it later.
Above Nan Yang you will face slightly harder rebel and other forces, but not
very much harder. However now a new group of generals will meet you out in the
open, and many now have over 1000 men and over 150 strength. The key to
fighting them is to get their health below 1,000 as soon as possible. Above
that number, their attacks will be great, but below they will be just average
of what you're used to.
Head north and west of Nan Yang and take a stop in a small cave. There are 2
people in here, and one you can't reach now. The one you can talk to is Zhou
Cang, who will join voluntarily. He is stronger than Guan Ping, so replace him
with Zhou Cang.
Once you are at least level 15, head north and east to Bo Hai castle.
*****BATTLE 18*****
Lu Guang - 1037
Shen Pei - 1255
Gao Lan - 942
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 230
This is your first castle battle against generals of this caliber, and 2 of
them have over 1,000 men. Luckily, one is a weak tactician, and the other will
fall below 1,000 in just 1 attack. Simply, attack Lu Guang once, then focus
attacks on Shen Pei until he is dead. Have Guan Yu use Yan Re every turn.
Once Shen Pei is dead, then you can choose to all out or kill Lu Guang first,
then all out. Shouldn't make much difference, just watch your health, because
no one in your party is really higher than 700 men, if any.
******************
In Bo Hai, heal, then enter the left of the double house. Get the Gun Powder
and go to the cave in the west. Use the powder to free Xu Zhe who is trapped.
He will join you. Make him your tactician, because he is very intelligent.
Note that he is going by the name Dan Fu, so there's no confusion. Now with
him you can get past the woman blocking the bridge in Bo Hai. Get Wood Helmets
for at least Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and if funds permit, for other generals
in the front of your group.
Continue east of Bo Hai until you see a gate in the middle of nowhere. Attack.
*****BATTLE 19*****
Xu Shou - 1255
Yan Liang - 1381
Wen Hun - 1449
Rebel Force - 230
This is a hard battle, but though you're outnumbered, you are a human and they
are just NES intelligence. Wen Hun and Yan Liang have two insanely high attacks,
and with their HP are hard to get below 1,000 immediately. In fact it will take
at least 3 turns to get all generals below 1,000. Xu Shou has Yan Re and is not
afraid to use it. Be ready to heal anyone who gets down to around 250, because
they could be killed in one turn by consecutive hits on their armies. The main
thing is to focus on Xu Shou and kill him, after Wen Hun and Yan Liang are
under 1K men. Guan Yu should be using Yan Re every turn. Once you have routed
this enemy force, you should be proud. Now, you will not face any of them again,
which means if you meet up with Wen Hun or Yan Liang out in the open, hope that
you can convert them, for they are as you saw very powerful.
******************
Enter this fortress and free the girl behind the bars. She gives you a letter.
Before we do anything with this, you should go back to Nan Yang to heal and save.
Also consider getting to level 17. Try to capture Wen Hun and Yan Liang or at
least one of the two. Lu Guang is also pretty good. Now, travel to the castle
east of Bo Hai. Go ahead and "go in", but actually this just gives the game a
chance for you to talk to Zhao Yun. Show him the letter from his sister and he
joins you. Fit him into your team, because he is one of the 5 what are called
"Tiger" generals. He gains men every level, and has insanely high attack and
intelligence. When the end of the game comes he will be your best man all
around. Now, attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 20*****
Yuan Tan - 1594
Yuan Xi - 1519
Tian Feng - 1141
Rebel Force - 270
Attack Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi using power pills with Zhang Fei and whatever
random generals you have. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun should use Yan Re every
turn. Once Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are below one thousand, concentrate attacks
on Tian Feng until he is dead. Once he is gone, all out attack.
******************
Now enter this castle, which is Guang Zong. Heal, and save (the building is
at the far end of the city). Do not talk to the pink and white general in
the middle until you've saved. Ok, now talk to him. He is blood of Yuan
Shu and Yuan Shao, and he wants to kill you.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Yuan Shang - 1672
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 300
Rebel Force - 230
Rebel Force - 300
Yuan Shang is a strong general. However, with only Rebel Forces as backup,
you can take him down quickly. Have Guan Yu and Zhao Yun use Yan Re, and
everyone else attack him. If he is not below 1000, then do another round,
all attacking him. Watch out in case he uses Yan Re, for he is a capable
tactician. Now, you can all out to kill him and any remaining rebel
forces.
******************
Heal and save again, and continue eastward towards Ji Zhou, the castle
where Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Lu BU, and others await you. Defeat the gate
battles (#22 and 23, no special strats needed), and return to Guang Zong
for a quick heal/save. If you are not level 18, get there, so Zhang Fei
will have a little over 1,000 men. Make sure to get all generals at least
2 power pils and 1 elixer B each. Now, attack Ji Zhou.
Yuan Shao will again say you killed his brother, but that makes no sense
because he's in this next battle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Yuan Shao - 1754
Yuan Shu - 899
Zhang He - 1317
Ju Shou - 1449
Lu BU - 1449
THIS BATTLE IS HARD, and in fact harder than first glance. Not only do
all these generals, and there are 5 of them, have a mass army of over
7,000 men, but each of them is a strong fighter except Ju Shou, and all
are expert tacticians except Lu Bu. Note that Lu Bu has now about 1,500
hit points, and will be doing over 300 damage a hit until brought down,
and 150 until he is defeated. Basically, we take this battle slowly, one
step at a time. First turn, have Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Fei use
power pills to attack Lu Bu. Have Guan Yu use Ji Rou to reduce enemy
attacks, and Zhao Yun use Yan Re. Hopefully Zhang Fei got to do his attack
before he was knocked below 1,000. He should do between 300 and 400 damage.
Odds are you took some heavy damage, so have Guan Yu use Yin Xian now.
Concentrate attacks and Lu Bu, and keep using Yan Re with Zhou Yun. save
your power pills for Yuan Shao, whom you will kill last. After Lu Bu is
dead, focus on Ju Shou. Go up the enemy line from him, killing them one
by one. When only Yuan Shao is left, have everyone attack with power pils.
Congratulate yourself, a lot, when they are all defeated.
******************
---------------------------
VII. Fighting in Jing Zhou
---------------------------
Enter Ji Zhou, heal, save, and invite Liu Bei in. Talk to him and he tells
you the land of Jing Zhou is in turmoil and you need to stop the fighting
there. Before heading off, buy 3 sabres, for Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang
Fei. I'd have you buy more, but only 2 towns away is your next weapon, which
though expensive is very awesome, and you should save your money for some.
Gullwing back to Nan Yang and save. Go left now and down the path. Following
this path you will go by 4 houses, and then come to a castle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Jin Xuan - 1317
Gong Zhi - 1197
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 300
Simple battle. All out if you want. These are not dangerous enemies.
******************
Enter Wu Ling castle. Heal, leave, and continue eastward along the path.
Before attacking the next castle, which is hard, get to level 19. When
you're ready, attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 21*****
Han Xuan - 1519
Huang Zhong - 1381
Wei Yan - 1317
Yang Ling - 1197
Rebel Force - 300
This battle has 2 of the strongest men in the game fighting you. Huang Zhong
and Wei Yan. Basically, have Wen Hun, Yan Liang, and Zhang Fei keep attacking
Huang Zhong and then Wei Yan, and Zhao Yun should keep using Yan Re. Once they
are dead, kill Yang Ling, and then allout to kill Han Xuan.
******************
Entering Chang Sha you see Huang Zhong and Wei Yan standing in the way. They
will join you now. Replace Wen Hun and Yan Liang with them. Now, go to the
weapon shop and buy as many Bows as you can afford. Now heal, leave, and go
south. Enter the castle you see; you don't have to fight your way in. Go to
the palace and talk to the leader. He will show you to your sleeping quarters.
Then, he will attack you in your sleep. You wake up and enter a battle, with
severely reduced armies.
*****BATTLE 22*****
Zhao Fan - 1594
Bao Long - 1255
Chen Ying - 1197
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 380
The only challenge to this battle is everyone starts with 200-300 men. Have
Wei Yan use Yin Xian right away, and have everyone else attack Zhao Fan, but
have Zhao Yun use Yan Re. Once everyone is back up to regular health, this
fight will be a cinch.
******************
Now this town becomes completely docile. You can heal and save here, and
invite Liu Bei in. He will siimply tell you that the fighting in Jing Zhou
needs to be stopped. Guess its up to you to stop it. Every fight between
here and the next castle will be simple because of your almighty bows. All
out against anyone. The fight at the gate (#23) is simple. Now for the
castle, which is not much harder.
*****BATTLE 24*****
Liu Du - 1672
Xing Da o Rong - 1519
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 350
Bows must be the cheapest weapons in the game. These battles are too easy
with them. Oh well, guess its a lot quicker. The end of this battle restores
peace to Jing Zhou.
******************
Enter Ling Ling castle. Heal and save. If you try and invite Liu Bei here,
the scribe will say that Liu Bei is going to Gui Yang, the last castle you
were at. You should visit him in a bit. First, go around the edge of the town
to a house on the left, and search in front of the man inside. You'll find a
sword. Equip it on Zhang Fei. It is only 1 attack, but does as much as 2 bow
hits would. Though he won't get two hits anymore, now Power Pils can be used
effectively again for hits of over 1000 damage.
Now go back to Liu Bei in Gui Yang. You will probably meet up with a mighty
tactician named Pang Tong on the way back...
*****BATTLE 25*****
Pang Tong - 3765
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 320
Rebel Force - 320
Pang Tong is... well strong. He has quite a good few men, and very advanced
tactics such as Ji Mian, which stops you from attacking, Da Re, a fire spell
capable of huge damage to one army, and Wan Fu, which allows a full heal of
the target army. Ouch. Well, just never cease to attack Pang Tong. When hurt,
heal. However, with your bows, you can kill him in two turns flat, and so
just hope he doesn't use any of his big guns.
******************
When he's defeated, he'll join you. Yay. Replace Xu Zhe with him, and if you
wish, put him in your battle party in place of Huang Zhong, due to his sheer
mass of men and great tactical capablities. But, on the other hand, greater
attack is better for now. Just let Pang Tong do his stuff from behind the
fight. When you get back to Gui Yang, Liu Bei gives you a letter for Xu Zhe
saying he needs to leave to care for his sick mother. Good thing you have
Pang Tong. When you walk out of the palace, Xu Zhe says something he almost
forgot. He is telling you to go see Zhu Ge Liang at his house, which is
the third one down to the left of Nan Yang. Go there. Stock up on Gull Wings,
you're gonna need em. Also note that the game music has now changed from the
fun, upbeat squeeky noise, to a more mellow, epic sort of sound. This is how
it will be until the end of the game.
*****Zhu Ge Liang Scavenger Hunt*****
When you arrive at Zhu Ge Liang's house, he is not there. You must go to Lou
Sang villiage, where you began the game. Gullwing to Xu Zhou. Enter the small
house and ask the man there, who will say Zhu Ge Liang was there but left.
Now go back to his house, and the man there will refer you to Nan Yang. Go to
Nan Yang, invite Liu Bei in. Talk to him and he says someone named Jin came
and was looking for you. Now go back to Zhu Ge Liang's house one last time.
You see Zhu Ge Liang sleeping. Talk to him but choose not to wake him, and
he will awaken by himself. He says he will join but go to Gui Yang castle
first.
Now gullwing to Chang Sha and go down to Gui Yang and meet up with him
in the palace. Finally! In rapid succession you just got the 2 best tacticians
in the game. However, you can only use one of them, so you should make Zhu Ge
Liang the acting strategist and now if you want, put Pang Tong into your party
in place of Wei Yan. Also, around this time, your health bars should change
from orange to light yellow.
Now, go west to Ling Ling castle, heal, and save, and venture onward. Soon
you should meet up with a pretty crazy battle...
*****BATTLE 26*****
Lu Bu - 7003
Rebel Force - 700
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is easier than it looks, though Lu Bu will take a while to kill,
and he does around 800 damage a hit. Best ways to deal with him are power
pils. If you have the tactic Da Re, it is also very effective, so have Guan
Yu, Zhao Yun, and Pang Tong use it, while the others attack. Hopefully Lu
Bu doesn't get any critical attacks before you kill him (and this time, you
kill him for good). Also, if you have Bei Ji, that would be great right now,
for double attacks. Yi Xin can also be good, to prevent Lu Bu from attacking.
Whatever you do, just have fun killing the stupid traitor.
******************
Return to Ling Ling to heal and save. Now, I suggest you spend a lot of time
building up levels, at least to 25. Yes it may seem like a lot, but this new
area we've entered has many new generals and the rebel forces all have many
more men. Plus, experience should come pretty quickly. Also note that from
this point on there will be no more pirate, brigand, or bandit forces. Only
rebel forces. Something else to keep in mind: make sure that Zhang Fei has
your one sword equipped right now. Always keep him with at least 2 power pills
at hand. Give Chi Tu Ma to Pang Tong. Then, if you get into a battle with
some really big armies against you, have Pang Tong use Bei Ji and then Zhang
Fei use a power pill- he will deal over 2,000 damage! Hong Shui is another
great tactic right now. When near water, you can have Pang Tong deal over
1,000 damage to every opponent! Ouch.
Travel past Ling Ling, down, up, around, down, left, etc... until you reach
a house between some mountains. This is the gateway into the kingdom of Shu,
a land ruled by Liu Bei's brother which is in turmoil right now. Time for
you to step in. Before stepping in, make sure to have elixer Cs for everyone.
----------
VIII. Shu
----------
Head west until you reach a fortress.
*****BATTLE 27*****
Liu Kui - 3262
Zhang Ren - 3262
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
There are no tacticians on the other team, so this fight is pretty simple.
Use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and just have everyone attack, on Zhang Ren first
and then Liu Kui. Should be dead in a few turns.
******************
There is nothing of interest in this fortress. Continue northward. You will
go through a series of twisting mountain paths. Also watch out around here,
for you can meet up with Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who are two of the strongest
generals in the game, especially Ma Chao. Eventually you will reach a castle
with a gate. Defeat the gate (#28) and attack Fu Shui castle.
*****BATTLE 29*****
Yan Yan - 3262
Fa Zheng - 2965
Yang Huai - 2965
Rebel Force - ???
Rebel Force - ???
These opponents are all very capable. Yan Yan is both an expert fighter and
a superb tactician. Yang Huai's attack is nothing to scoff at, either. I
suggest you use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and have everyone attack except Pang Tong
who should use Da Re on Yan Yan or Yang Huai. When they're dead, all out to
win.
******************
Enter Fu Shui castle, heal, and save. Enter the palace, which cannot entertain
Liu Bei. Go through the door to the right, and then you see a prison cell. Keep
pushing your character against it, repeatedly tapping, or backing away and
running into it. Eventually the door will break. Then talk to the man. Now go
to the weapons shop. If you feel like making the switch from Bow to Sword, you
can. You should probably just keep your bows until the next weapon after sword
comes along. Also get copper helmets.
Head northward once you are at least level 26. Attack the gate at the next
castle (#30, I suggest using Hong Shui for an easy win). Now, let's attack Lou
castle.
*****BATTLE 31*****
Ma chao - 3262
Ma Dai - 3110
Pang De - 2965
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is hard. You are facing Ma Chao, one of the 5 Tiger generals (you
have 4 on your side right now), Ma Dai, his almost as strong brother, and Pang
De, an obvious relative of Pang Tong and also an expert tactician. All of his
tactics are dangerous to you, so I would recommend killing him first. But to
start this battle, have Pang Tong use Bei Ji on Zhang Fei, and have everyone
else cast it on themselves except Zhang Fei, who should use a power pill on
Ma Chao. Next turn, have Pang Tong use Da Re on Ma Dai, and have everyone else
attack Ma Chao, except zhang Fei who should use another power pil, on Pang De.
After this turn, there shouldn't be much left of your opponent. All out attack
to defeat them. Now, Ma Chao and Ma Dai will join you. Put Ma Chao in your line
up in place of Huang Zhong, but keep him with you. Keep Ma Dai in the reserve.
We still want Pang Tong leading the party.
******************
Enter Lou Castle. Note that you can gullwing here, so you can now go between
older cities and here easily. Heal here, and go somewhere else to save if you
want. Continue south of Lou and you come to a cave. In this cave is the Iron
Ore, which you will really want. The cave is relatively small. Take the lower
of the 2 pathways left at the beginning and its straight directions from there
to the Iron Ore. Gullwing out to Lou when you have it. Then go back to Fu Shui,
go a bit south of there, and hook around back up to a house, and give the ore
to the blacksmith. Gullwing back to Lou, and return to Mt. Gang Tai (the cave).
Take the path upwards this time to get through.
When outside, go down and left, then hook back up to a fortress. This battle
consists only of weak generals that you've probably faced many times out in
the open before. Do not hesitate to kick their asses.
Enter Mian Zhu Guan fortress. In the leftmost tent, there is a treasure chest
with a battleax in it. Give the battleax to Zhang Fei and his Sword to Ma Chao.
Leave and continue onwards. Attack the gate at the next castle.
*****BATTLE 33*****
Lei Tong - 3110
Wu Lan - 2965
Rebel Force - 850
Rebel Force - 850
Rebel Force - 1000
Though Lei Tong and Wu Lan both have great attacks, you totally outnumber them,
outsmart them, and out hit them. Plus you've faced them both many times. Time
to whoop them.
******************
Now Cheng Du
*****BATTLE 34*****
Liu Zheng - 4142
Gao Pei - 2872
Wu Yi - 3589
Wang Lei - 2827
Rebel Force - 900
This battle is much easier than it looks. The big "bad guy" Liu Zheng is very
weak in strength and intelligence, despite his mass of soldiers. Gao Pei and Wu
Yi are moderate, but you've beaten them before. Wang Lei is just crap. Use Bei
Ji on Zhang Fei with his battleax, then have him power-pill attack Liu Zheng
and then Wu Yi. Kiss them goodbye. Pang Tong should Bei Ji Zhang Fei the first
turn, then do Da Re on Gao Pei. Everyone else can attack whoever. Voila, you win,
Liu Bei now rules Shu.
******************
In Cheng Du, heal, save, and invite Liu Bei in. He says something about the
blacksmith and your swords. Don't worry about that yet. Go buy battleaxes
for everyone who doesn't have one yet (except of course Zhu Ge Liang). Get Chain
Mails for everyone. Don't go back to the swordsmith yet. Spend some time around
here facing battles and owning with your battleaxes. You can gain some quick
levels. Get to at least level 29.
Ok, now go to the swordsmith's house. He tells you he made 5 great swords and
tells you what he named them. But they were stolen! Oh no! Don't worry. You'll
find them in various places later on.
Return to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei. He gives you a speech about how the
world is all good right now, but he says Shu is too vast for him to control
alone, so he makes Guan Yu the ruler of Chang Sha and Zhang Fei the ruler of
Gui Yang. This is to help keep the peace in Jing Zhou, a very hostile area.
But suddenly something happens. Some time passes, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
have left. Now two messengers come and say that Cao Cao and Sun Ce both died.
Uh oh. And, Wu is attacking Jing Zhou, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are barely
holding on. You must go help them. First, gullwing to Chang Sha. Go to the
palace and speak with Guan Yu, who offers his son to join your army. Good!
Do the same at Gui Yang where Zhang Fei's son will join you. Alright, awesome.
They are both a bit weaker in stats than their fathers but have the same men
and all the stuff the two dads left with.
Go back to Cheng Du and speak to Liu Bei. He says that Wu has invaded Jing Zhou.
Head to Wu Ling first and fight the enemies there.
*****BATTLE 35*****
Fan Zhang - 4780
Chen Wu - 5014
Rebel Force - 350
Rebel Force - 300
Rebel Force - 320
This is your first fight against generals from Wu. These two are sort of strong,
but with power pils and you battle axes, you'll have them routed in no time.
******************
Head to Gui Yang. Heal, save, and reload on power pils. Now go to Ling Ling to
fight.
*****BATTLE 36*****
Ling Tong - 5516
Wu Fan - 5014
Rebel Force - 380
Rebel Force - 380
This battle is just as easy as the last one, because Ling Tong isn't that strong
and Wu Fan doesn't have any dangerous tactics. Use power pils and whoop them.
******************
-------
IX. Wu
-------
Get back to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei again. He gives another speech, and this
time you'll do some butting in also. At the end of the speech, 3 people now claim
the title of emperor. Woah. Go back to Gui Yang and you will find a bridge there
now. Woah, cool. You can cross it and explore a bit if you want, but until you
are level 31, stay close to Gui Yang. There are dozens of new generals in Wu,
and many of them have immense strength, armies reaching over 10,000, and very
vicious tactics. Stay near water, because Pang Tong can use Shui Long to do over
2,000 damage to every enemy. Always keep a fresh supply of power pils, especially
on Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who are your strongest attackers now. At level 30, your
health bars should change to light blue.
At level 31, heal and save. Take Pang Tong out of your battle party, but keep him
with you. Put it Huang Zhong now. Give Chi Tu Ma to Zhao Yun. Heal, save, and
head west and south of Gui Yang now. Generals to watch out for in this area, some
you may have met while building up, include Tai Ci Si, Zhou Yu, Lu Sun, Lu Su,
among others. Do not hesitate to try retreating if you face any of them. Attack
the first castle you come to.
*****BATTLE 37*****
Gan Ning - 6069
Lu Su - 6365
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1300
Gan Ning is a strong general, but he is the least of your worries. Lu Su has Ji
Mian, Yi Xin, and Li Jian, which prevent you from attacking, prevent one general
from doing anything, and cause one general to attack his allies, respectively.
First turn, have everyone cast Bei Ji on themselves. Next turn, have everyone
attack Lu Su with powerpils except Zhao Yun who should use Huo Shen. That will
do over 3000 damage to anyone it hits, but probably won't hit Lu Su. One dose
of that should be sufficient. Then just own the battle with your Bei Jied hits.
******************
Enter Jian An. Make sure everyone has at least 1 elixer D. Go to the back of
the town and search in front of the lone tree for some Dead Wood. Now leave
and head north into the cave in the mountains. In the cave, take the lower
fork and take the stairs you see. Then go left and up on the next floor. The
path to the saltpeter which you came for is straightforward. Gullwing out to
Jian An when done.
Talk to the man standing in place in the front part of the town. He will take
your saltpeter and dead wood and make dam so you can get across the canal. Leave
and head south. You will come to a fortress where you will fight a very hard
battle...
*****BATTLE 38*****
Zhou Yu - 6365
Gu Yong - 5014
Kan Ze - 5259
Rebel Force - 1100
Ok, you're up against 3 tacticians. Zhou Yu is probably tied for the most
dangerous in the game, next to Cao Pi, Si Ma Yi, and very few others. He is
who you want dead the fastest. First turn, have everyone use Bei Ji. Then,
have everyone attack except Zhao Yun who should use Huo Shen. You will
probably have to heal often, since these guys love to use Hong Shui. Guan
Xing should do the healing, he's your weakest man. Use power pils and just
try to get Zhou Yu dead as fast as you can, and hope he doesn't ues Wan Fu
too many times. Also note he has An Sha, which can wipe out an entire general
of yours with one swipe. Hopefully someone has some ressurects, which we've
not really needed so far. When you finally get Zhou Yu dead, get Kan Ze, and
then all out to finish. An alternate way to start the battle would've been
for Zhao Yun to cast Ce Mian the first turn to ward off enemy tactics for
whatever number of turns it lasts.
******************
Gullwing back to Chang Sha. Reload on power pils and gullwings, and gull
back to Jian An. Continue past the fortress you just beat until you get to
another castle.
*****BATTLE 39*****
Zhu Ge Jin - 6365
Jang Qin - 5259
Han Dang - 5516
Rebel Force - 1100
This is a rather easy battle vs Zhu Ge Liang's bad brother. Whoop up on
them with powerpils and Zhou Yun using Shui Long when he's Bei Jied.
******************
Enter Wu castle. Heal, save, and leave. Continue onwards. You come to
the first confusing cave in the game. This one is big and stupid. Get
to level 33 before going in, and make sure to have elixer Ds for everyone.
Uhhh... I'll try to give directions, though if you can find a map somewhere
on the internet (like my site http://cge.ffmyths.com) this would be much
easier. The first two rooms are very small. Then there's a big floor. Follow
the path around, then go down at the fork. On the next floor take the stairs
right next to you, and on the next follow the plain path around. Again take
the stairs next to you. On this floor, follow the path, go left at first
fork, right at second, down at third. This leads you to Nu Long, one of the 5
swords. Give it to Ma Chao. Now backtrack to that last fork, and go right to
get out of the cave.
Go north for a darn long while until you come to a gate and a fortress. The
gate is guarded by just Ding Feng. All out vs him, he's weak. Attack the
fort now.
*****BATTLE 41*****
Chen Pu - 9326
Zhang Zhao - 8082
Bu Xi - 7003
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
The reason this fight will be tough is cuz you just went on a long journey
since your last heal, so you probably are way down on tactic points. Use
Bei Ji on Zhao Yun and Ma Chao only. Everyone should attack Zhang Zhao
with whatever power pills you might have, but Zhao Yun should use Huo Shen.
Good luck winning, a lot depends on if they use a lot of annoying tactics
like Li Jian, Ji Mian, Yi Xin, and Wan Fu.
******************
Enter Po Yang fortress, which lovingly has a place to rest in. Leave and
go southwest. Attack the gate, and then attack Jin Du.
*****BATTLE 43*****
Sun Yu - 13027
Zhang Hong - 10763
Zhu Zhi - 10261
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
These generals have huge armies. 2 are amazing fighters, 1 is an annoying
tactician. However, with Bei Jied power pil attacks (on the tactician)
and Bei Jied Shui Long uses, you should be able to take them down quickly.
******************
Be very happy, for Jin Du is on your gullwing list, you can go to and
from here easily. Heal now. Before talking to anyone, buy crossbows for
everyone except Ma Chao and Bronze Helmets for everyone. Now talk to the
soldier in the middle of the town to initiate a fight.
*****BATTLE 44*****
Lu Meng - 14333
3 Rebel Force - ????
This is a strong general and even greater tactician. Use Bei Jei on
everyone, then give him dose after dose of attacks. He may use Wan Fu,
which would ****. Hope he doesn't! Don't use powerpils except with Ma
Chao, because everyone else has double attack weapons. Huo Shen wouldn't
hurt. When you beat him he runs off, saying you're strong but Tai Si Ci
is stronger. Phhtt you've beaten Tai Si Ci a few times already I assume.
******************
Gull out of Jin Du to someplace where you can get powerpils and more
gullwings and come back. Head south of Jin Du to find a house. Attack
the group of pirates inside. They all have over 10K men but they're
easy. Return to Jin Du and talk to a man who will give you Qing Long,
another one of the 5 swords. Give it to Zhang Bao.
Now, wander around the area, and attack the gates of the next castle
if you wish (#44-46), but don't attack Jian Ye until you're level 38
so some of your guys have over 10K men. Also your health bars should
turn dark blue about now. Now then, heal and save. Give Ma Chao's Nu
Long to Zhao Yun just for this battle, because Zhao Yun has over 10K
men and Ma Chao does not, so we want the best damage we can give out.
Attack Jian Ye castle.
*****BATTLE 48*****
Tai Si Ci - 15769
Lu Sun - 11814
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1300
Well, though you've probably faced both of these generals at random
times before, this time they're together. And you can't just go all
out with tactics, because this battle is a 2 parter, and any Bei Jis
will not carry over to the next part. So, Bei Ji just Zhao Yun and
Zhang Bao. Everyone should focus attacks on Lu Sun, though Zhao Yun
should use Huo Shen once. I feel confident you should be able to take
down these two with relative ease. But now comes part 2 of the battle...
Sun Quan - 19087
Rebel Force - 1100
Rebel Force - 1200
Rebel Force - 1000
Rebel Force - 1300
Wow. Sun Quan is a monster. 228 strength with 240 AP to back it up,
and plenty of men to keep him over 10K for a while. And, he has very
high intelligence and some of our least favorite tactics like Ji Mian,
Li Jian, and Yi Xin. So, start out with everyone using Bei Ji on himself.
Next turn, have everyone attack except Guan Xing, who should use Huo Shen.
If he fails to hit Sun Quan with it, try again with Zhao Yun the next turn.
Just keep attacking turn by turn, and use any power pills Zhang Bao and Zhao
Yun might have. Don't let anyone get down too low on health, because if Sun
Quan does a super attack... **shudder**. Yeah, so just focus your energy and
take this sucker down. After all, he wants to take over China, and so do you,
so he's just kinda in your way. At the end he gives another speech, then dies.
So closes the Wu chapter, for Liu Bei's army now occupies it all.
******************
-------
X. Wei
-------
Enter Jian Ye, heal, save, and invite. Liu Bei says Cao Pi must die, and you
should attack from "Jian Ye, northeast of here" which is an obvious mistake-
you're in Jian Ye! Anyways, go to the weapon shops and replace your crossbows
with Lances. Also give Nu Long back to Ma Chao. Do not buy the mail here for
there is better armor at the next town. For now, just go outside to the east
and wander around a bit. There are many new generals with armies reaching over
20 and 30K men, so you should definately do some leveling up. Generals to watch
out for include Cheng Yu, Yang Xiu, Chen Qun, Cao Zhi, Guo Jia,
When you reach level 39, head east and north of Jian Ye for your next fight.
Attack the gate (easy fight, #49). Then attack the castle.
*****BATTLE 49*****
Zhang Liao - 13027
Cao Zhen - 10763
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1800
This battle, though the opposing generals don't have too many men, is hard
because they're BOTH strong warriors and elite tacticians, especially Zhang
Liao. Bei Ji everyone and power pill Zhang Liao to death before he kills
anyone with An Sha. If he does, don't worry about resurrecting, just kill
the bastard. Cao Zhen can go next. Don't all out against these guys. I suggest
using Shui Long once or twice with Bei Ji for whoopass potential.
******************
Enter Guang Ling castle and talk to the first person you see after the guard.
This is Jiang Wei, a great tactician and good fighter, who gains men like
all your other generals right now, and gets as many as Zhao Yun. He is so good
that you should replace Huang Zhong with him. Keep the old fart around though,
in case you need a backup when someone dies. Give Chi Tu Ma to Jiang Wei. In
the middle of a town, a tree sticks out on the side. Search there to find Bo
Ye, another sword. It is not as strong as the first 2 you got, but still
stronger than any generic weapons. Give it to Guan Xing. Now go in the weapon
shop and buy Plate Mail for everyone.
Go back to Jian Ye and save. Build up to level 40. Heal, save, and continue
past Guang Ling castle. You might consider getting some smoke pots. Oh and
while fighting you should notice your health bars changed to a cool green.
That's the last color. After a lot of walking you come to a gate.
*****BATTLE 50*****
Cao Pi - 20020
Cao Ren - 14333
Xia Huo Dun - 13665
Rebel Force - 1500
Rebel Force - 1800
Your first battle against the second hardest opponent in the game- Cao Pi.
And, there's a very high chance you will be suprised as you enter the battle.
So you're already starting a turn behind. Get everyone Bei Jied as soon as
possible. Have Jiang Wei use Shui Long at least once, but more times if TP
permits. Save the rest of your points for healing. Basically, gang up on Cao
Pi with power pils before he can An Sha and Hong Shui you to death. He's your
main worry and probably will be a real pain. If you can get him dead its smooth
sailing from there.
******************
Gullwing first back to someplace with Power Pills so you can reload. Then gull
back to Jian Ye, get more Elixer Ds and gulls, heal, and save. Get more smoke
pots, because you've got to take that long hike again. This time we're going
even further. Continue past He Fei fortress where you fought Cao Pi. Go across
one bridge, then another, and then straight down. You will see a castle protected
by some gates. Go in and attack! The first gate is just against some Caos (#51),
but they're weak. The second (#52) is against some Xia Huo's. They're easy, too.
Now, attack Ru Nan.
*****BATTLE 53*****
Cao Pi - 20020
Cao Zhang - 19087
Cao Ang - 18197
Xia Huo Mao - 16504
Rebel Force - 1800
Here's Cao Pi again, this time with a load of strong backup, including the 7th
strongest general in the game, Cao Zhang. Yeah, that says something. You WILL
be caught off guard in this battle, so you'll have a round of beating on you
before you can even get going. Now on your first turn, everyone should use Bei
Ji. Second turn, everyone attack Cao Pi with powerpils except Jiang Wei, using
Huo Shen or Shui Long (depending where you initiated the battle). This will
probably bring Cao Pi down below 5K. Do one more power pill attack and one more
regular on him to kill him. Hopefully he never An Shaed anyone. You should be
strong enough to all out after this to finish them.
But wait! Si Ma Yi has arrived! And he's backstabbing Cao Pi! Sounds like a cool
guy. Well, he kills Cao Pi and gives you his head. However, he says he claims Wei
for his own, then does some crazy thunder on you, and you wake up in Jian Ye.
******************
Heal, save, and go talk to Liu Bei. He says Guan Yu's other son found you unconsious
and brought you back to Jian Ye. He says you should go to Chang Sha to talk to him.
So, do so! When you talk to him he says he knows Si Ma Yi's thunder tactic, and says
the counter is to press up, up, down, down, left, right, up, down before the attack
hits. Also restock on power pills here, and get everyone at least three of them.
Now gullwing back to Jian Ye. Reload on gullwings and elixer Ds. Make sure you
are at least level 44 before heading out. Huang Zhong should have his inventory full
of them since he's not fighting. You will probably get to level 45 on the way.
Upon reaching Ru Nan, touch the castle from the left side, so you are away from the
water, because Si Ma Yi can use Shui Long. When it starts, you will first have to
counter the thunder. If you mess up you are returned to Jian Ye. So don't mess up.
Now, the battle starts.
*****BATTLE 54*****
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Xu Zhu - 20020
Dian Wei - 20020
Rebel Force - 1800
Rebel Force - 1500
You'll probly be caught off guard. Now, do a report on Si Ma Yi. He has 250
intelligence, so he will a) be able to hit any of your guys with his tactics
successfully and b) it will be hard for you to hit him with tactics. He has Huo
Shen and Shui Long, two tactics that hardly any of your opponents had before. He
also has Bei Ji, so his attacks and tactics will be twice strength once he uses
it. In addition, he has Wan Fu, and coupled with his 40K men, will mean a long,
hard, tedious fight. And this isn't the only time you face him- you fight him 2
more times!
Begin this battle with Bei Ji on everyone. Now, focus on killing Xu Zhu, and then
Dian Wei. Don't use power pills - save those for Si Ma Yi. You can use Huo Shen a
few times, but try and save tactic points for healing. You will be healing often
because Si Ma Yi loves to hit everyone for 4K damage with Huo Shen. Do power pil
attacks on Si Ma Yi until you get him down to around or below 10K. But, if you
are in range of killing him in just one more turn, start that turn with Jiang Wei
using Ce Mian so Si Ma Yi can't use Wan Fu. That should work and have him dead.
******************
Enter Ru Nan castle. Heal, and go to the weapon shop. Buy Steel Helmets for everyone.
Now go back to Jian Ye and restock on Elixer Ds and Gullwings, and definately get
some smokepots. Also go to Chang Sha or one of the places that has power pills and
restock until everyone but Jiang Wei has 3, for Jiang should have ressurects.
Save and gull back to Ru Nan and get ready to go through a big cave. Go through the
little niche in the mountains at the back of Ru Nan.
Go left at the first fork, left at the next, and right at the next. Go to the stairs.
Don't worry about treasures you're passing by. They all ****, except one in the cave
we're making sure to get, which is one of the 5 swords. On the next floor go left
and then immediately up, which leads you around to the next stairs. Next part is
very
small, take the next stairs. So is the next. Keep going. On the next floor go towards
the lava and through it. It won't hurt too much. Get only the first chest which has
Wan Sheng in it. Give it to Zhao Yun. The other chests just have armor you don't
need.
Backtrack out of the lava and go up. Take the first set of stairs you see. Go down,
and take the left of the the 3 paths. This takes you out of the cave. However, walking
outside you see yet another cave. Argh. Inside, go left and follow the floor to the
stairs. Go down and curve back up to the stairs downward. Follow that to a Halberd,
the strongest weapon in the game. Give it to Ma Chao, give Nu Long to Zhao Yun, and
Wan Sheng to Jiang Wei. Go back 2 stairs and this time go left at the fork. Follow
this floor (has green ground) until a fork. Go diagonal up-right for Qing Guang.
Give
it to Guan Xing, and give Bo Ye to Zhu Ge Liang or Huang Zhong to hold, though it
doesn't really matter. Go back down, right, up-right, up, and to the stairs. Grab
the chest in your way (power pil) if you want and give it to Ma Chao who has the
best
weapon of anyone. Now you'll get out of the cave.
Odds are you're level 47 by now. Hope you didn't use any tactics on your journey.
You'll need them for the battles ahead. Go north and west to the next gate (#55).
Use Huang Zhong and Zhu Ge Liang's spare elixer Ds to get everyone's HP back up.
Now attack the gate.
*****BATTLE 56*****
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Yang Xiu - 20999
Jiang Gan - 19087
Rebel Force - 1900
Rebel Force - 1500
Uh oh. You may have all your tactic points, elixer Ds, resurrects, power pils, and
the best physical army in the land, but you're up against 2 generals with Wan Fu,
Ji Mian, and Yi Xin. Plus, you're close enough to the water where Si Ma Yi can use
Shui Long and the other two can use Hong Shui. You're in for a rough ride unless
you play your cards right. Start with a round of Bei Jis on everyone except Jiang
Wei, who should use Ce Mian. Gang up on Si Ma Yi with power pills until he is dead,
and whenever Ce Mian runs out, use it again. When Si Ma Yi is dead, you can stop
using power pills and Ce Mian. Take out Yang Xiu and then Jiang Gan. These two
wont last long against an army of Bei Jied warriors.
******************
Go past the fortress and head north to Chin castle.
*****BATTLE 57*****
Xun Huo - 25418
Li Dian - 23103
Wang Shuang - 20999
Rebel Force - 1800
Rebel Force - 1800
Odds are you have between 20 and 40 tactic points left, 0-2 power pils left on
any given man, and you don't want to face another guy with Wan Fu. Don't use
any Bei Jis. Take out Li Dian and Wang Shuang, then slowly work down Xun Huo.
If you heal, make sure you save at least 15 tactic points. When he is in
range of killing in one turn, use Ce Mian. Use your last power pils to kill the
sucker. Take out his lackeys afterwards. If at some time before you kill him
he An Shas someone, use a resurrect and then 3 elixer Ds or 2 and a heal, but
like I said, be penny-pinching with your tactic points so you have that 15.
******************
In Chin castle you find out that Si Ma Yi controls a newly rebuilt Luo Yang castle.
His very strong, intelligent sons are helping him guard it. Sounds like fun.
Walk outside and you see a bridge built. You can go across it and wow! You're right
next to Luo Yang castle! Don't fight yet. Gullwing to Chang Sha or Chang An and
fill up on power pils- 3 for Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Guan Xing, 4 for Ma Chao.
Fill the rest of your space with at least 3 resurrects spread out and at least 1
elixer D per person. Go to Xu Zhou to save. This is the closest place on your gullwing
list that can attack Luo Yang- the path from Yang Zhou has been blocked off.
Blow past the gates of Luo Yang, poorly defended as they are by the last remaining
beleagured troops of Wei. If you're not level 50 by now, get to that by building
up
around Chin. Once level 50, gullwing to Ji Zhou. In there, go around the right wall
to a house, where a man will raise your level to 51. This is the highest level. Cool.
Return to Xu Zhou, heal, and save. If you're fully stocked, attack Luo Yang.
===============================================================================
******************************FINAL BATTLE PART 1******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Ma Shi - 27965
Si Ma Zhao - 30767
Rebel Force - 180
Rebel Force - 150
Rebel Force - 150
Alright... let's see. Si Ma Yi's two loving sons which he seems to have raised
well, because they're both very bright people. And they even try to taunt you
into submission before every attack of theirs. What a nice thing to teach your
kids.
Begin the battle with Jiang Wei using Ce Mian and everyone else using Bei Ji.
Each time Ce Mian runs out, use it again. These generals are dangerous and not
afraid to use An Sha and Wan Fu. You will not need tactic points for anything
but Ce Mian, because if you gang up on the two generals one at a time with
powerpils, you can get them dead very quickly (Ma Chao will be doing insanely
high amounts of damage). I really doubt you can get into a very big predicament
fighting them, though I could be wrong. When they're dead, you obviously know
there must be more, because you didn't fight Si Ma Yi. And here he is...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
Si Ma Yi says its his destiny to rule, and you can't prevent. Well you can,
just not in your tacticless condition. Though it may not seem like it, you can
run from this battle. Either do that or use the Gui Han tactic. Fill back up on
powerpils, heal, save, and come back. Now, you will not have to fight his sons,
just the battle against Si Ma Yi and his henchmen.
===============================================================================
******************************FINAL BATTLE PART 2******************************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Ma Yi - 40972
Yu Jin - 30767
Wei Xu - 27965
Cheng Yu - 24233
Xu Zhu - 20020
Alright, going into this battle, you should be confident, since you've taken on
all the other foes this game could throw at you, and you outnumber these guys
roughly 5:2 if you're on level 51. You also have the superior brains. Though
they may have infinite TP, you know how to use them better. So, try not to get
frustrated if you get An Shaed or repeatedly Huo Shened when Si Ma Yi is Bei
Jied. Just know that you're superior to these punks.
Kick it off with a round of Bei Ji. Wittle down Cheng Yu until he is dead- he
is the most dangerous, with An Sha in his arsenal. When he's gone you can worry
a bit less and focus on getting the fighter generals out of the way. If at any
time someone dies, use 2 elixer Ds and 1 Jin Xian, to get them back up over 10K,
and repeat this if they fall back under. You should be able to successfully
revive 4 people if everyone has 1-2 elixer Ds.
When only Si Ma Yi is left, spend a few turns attacking, and defend for however
long necessary if he uses Ji Mian. If you get him down to about 15K, Jiang Wei
should use Ce Mian followed by everyone else attacking with powerpils. Odds are
this will kill him. If you accidentally get Si Ma Yi to low on health and he gets
a chance he will Wan Fu and be fresh as new. And he will barage you with Huo Shens
a lot. Hopefully you get him down to the right health and can finish him, because
you only have so many powerpils and TP until you're a goner. If you win, he has
some last sentiments, and then he dies. Yay. Congratulate yourself. Kiss the
nearest person. No more fighting. Now its time for the ending pieces.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
The music changes to that of victory. Ahhh it sounds so sweet. Enter Luo Yang and
gaze upon its majestic looks as a newly rebuild city. Everyone is talking of peace
and happy things. Go to the scribe and invite Liu Bei in. If you want to fight Si
Ma Yi again, don't save.
Enter the palace. Talk to Liu Bei and hear his final speech:
"Zhang Bao, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei, Guan Xing, Ma Chao, Zhu Ge Liang, Huang Zhong,
my people. Finally peace reigns again. I thank you all for your devoted effort.
Through this great trial, I have gained much wisdom. I will rule fairly but with
an iron hand so that no uprising can threaten the peace again."
Now its time for the credits! Yippee! We get to see lots of clips of Liu Bei,
Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in many places they never were together to some funky
music. Woohoo! Between each scene are some names, and portraits are displayed
of characters. Capcom thanks you for playing at the end. Pat yourself on the back,
give yourself a high five, whatever. You just beat on of the coolest RPGs ever.
I haven't tried the sequel, maybe you should try it.

Chết , nhìn thấy Angel mới nhớ , hôm qua tôi đã thử qua khu kỷ niệm HVD để tìm các anh em kỳ cựu bên đó. Nhưng lại quên mất bồ 
Cậu down về giải nén ra rồi bật trình giả lập của NES là ZNES hay Virtual lên là chơi dc thôi mà. Bản này trong đó có wiwi, DOS, therebex và 1 số anh em khác của hội , đương nhiên là ko thể có ngay từ đầu các nhân vật mà phải đi theo cốt truyện là sẽ có. Và tất nhiên là các anh em trong hội thì tớ sẽ ưu tiên cho chỉ số cao 1 chút
