Hints & Tips
Strong character's unlimited combo Note:
This requneedsires a character strong enough to run over an
Officer with a horse. Wait until an Officer moves into a corner,
then run straight into him/her. Continue to press
Forward and
the horse will always keep running into him/her till you stop
pressing in that direction. This will continue your combo
indefinitely. You can also attack during your charge to speed up
the combo count.
Note:
A 32+ hit combo will give you the maximum shield/sword
drop and you can not exceed a 99 hit combo.
Level up fighters before Musou mode Enable the "Free Mode Side Selection option" code. Go to
free mode and select any character. This is useful for
characters you may not be too skilled with. Set the level to
"Yellow Turbans". Fight on the side of the Yellow Turbans. In
the fort, the center walls form a cross. Go to the top of that
cross to find "Life +10". Kill Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian
they each give "Life +10". Killing their officers usually give
"Attack +4" with each. Also try killing by using your special
while using the bow. When killing officers in this manner, you
can reach a 28-hit combo; but instead of receiving
"Attack/Defense +1", "+2", or "+4", you can get "Attack/Defense
+8". This does not work on Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Sun Jian. By
using this tactic, the game and your fight with Lu Bu becomes
slightly easier.
Attack +10 Beat Zhang Lian at the He Fei level to get an Attack +10.
Character recommendation Dian Wei is the best character when he is maxed out.
Beating officers Attack the officer with a combo, using
Square. When
they fall to the ground, wait until you see them start to get
back up. Swiftly start your combo over again, and they should
not have a chance to block it. This is especially useful for
beating Lu Bu, one of the hardest officers in the game.
Beat the officer's guards and any other lower rank men around
him. Run away from the officer so that he loses interest in you.
When this happens, they often stand still. Get close enough so
that you can barely make the officer out, but he does not see
you. Start hitting him/her with your arrows. They cannot see who
hits them, and they will not recover their life.
Beating strong generals on low health Go to a stand were archers are killing your men. Beat them,
then from above you can snipe your enemy's generals.
Easier Boss battles Officers can recoup health when you hit them down and they
get back up. Do not hit them on the ground. This will help when
fighting Lu Bu.
Run to one of your heroes, then hold
Circle
to charge until it is full. Then, run to the Boss and unleash
the power by pressing
Circle.
Chang Ban level:+10 Sword Go to the Chang Ban level on Liu Bei's side. When the level
starts beat every general. You should receive the weapon from
one of the generals randomly.
Get more from your MOSUO power Circle
usually allows you to do a spectacular move for roughly five
seconds to kill defenders. However if you hold the
Circle as you
are doing the special power, about ten more seconds will be
added on to you MOSUO.
Female character's unlimited combo Attack (only one hit), move forward, attack (only one hit),
move forward, attack (only one hit), move forward, and repeat.
This must be done swiftly in order to continue the combo.
Beating Lu Bu Hit him once and then jump away. Then hit him again and
repeat. When he blocks the hit, jump away as quickly as
possible.
Save your people If you happen to see a gate that you can go up to, go up and
kill every archer. After that, face the other side and use your
arrow at them. Note: Look back because some people will try to
attack when you are not looking.
Large chain attack Simply attack someone three times (they must die on one of
these hits for this to work), stop, then as they are falling
down, attack three times once again.
More powerful
hits When you are attacking someone, press
Square,
Triangle; or
Square(2x's),
Triangle, or
Square(3x's),
Triangle.
