    Fourth Weapons

    Cao Cao's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Xia Pi on the hard difficulty setting. Defeat Gao Shun before you get the message that he is guarding the dam. You can get the message that he has begun guarding the dam, but you must defeat him quickly after that.

    Then just defeat Zhang Liao. The precious item box will show up outside the castle just outside the south gate. Because defeating Gao Shun makes the castle be flooded, you must go into the castle from the north gate and make your way to the south gate. Then, just attack Lu Bu. You do not need to defeat him; if you do not defeat him fast enough, he will get bored and run, and his troops will turn on him and capture him, making you win the stage all the same.

    Cao Pi's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Wu Zhang Plains on the hard difficulty setting. It is better to do this in Musou Mode than in Free Mode. Wu Zhang Plains is a five-star battle, but in Cao Pi's Musou Mode it is only his fourth stage. Thus, if you do this in Musou Mode the difficulty will be lowered somewhat. First, defeat any three generals (not sub-generals) quickly. The ones that are all grouped in the center make good fodder, since except for Wei Yan they are all generic. Once you kill three generals, Zhuge Liang will pass away. Continue fighting normally. At this point it would be a good idea to seal the enemy's supply route over to the east. Soon you will see an event where Jiang Wei lays a group of automatic crossbows on the central platform. Now all you have to do is get up there and break all of them. There will also be juggernauts floating around, not to mention archer towers -- be careful. Once you have destroyed all single automatic crossbows, the precious item box will conveniently appear in the middle of that central platform. Pick it up and finish the stage to earn your fourth weapon.

    Cao Ren's fourth weapon
    Play Escape From Chi Bí on the hard difficulty setting. Your task is to defeat all enemy reinforcements quickly. This means that you should be able to defeat the reinforcement before Cao Cao's own reinforcement says something along the lines of "Go on first, I'll take care of things here!". You do not need to worry about sub-generals; just get each major general as they show up. After you defeat Guan Ping, immediately go south, as Sun Quan will show up in the southeast. Once you defeat Sun Quan, the precious item box will show up in the little nook between where Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei appeared. Grab the item, then go up and defeat Liu Bei to help Cao Cao escape.

    Da Qiao's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle of Xia Kou on the hard difficulty setting. You must defeat Cai Mao and Gan Ning before Ling Tong is defeated. Go up the left side first; Gan Ning will appear almost immediately and kill Ling Cao, which will prompt Ling Tong to charge. Gan Ning is in hyper mode for this battle -- be careful. Luckily, you will have Huang Gai and Ling Tong also keeping him busy. Then, just go to the center section and defeat Cai Mao, who is nowhere near as difficult. The precious item box appears just north of Cai Mao's position.

    Dian Wei's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle of Wan Castle on the hard difficulty setting. First, rendezvous with Cao Cao. Then, lead him to the escape gates, defeating enemies and generals (there will be two of them) along the way. Once Cao Cao leaves the castle and you get the event where Dian Wei stays behind to block the gates, the hard part begins. You must not let a single enemy past the gates until you get the message that Cao Cao's escape is in progress. This usually happens after you have defeated five or six troop leaders (the generic enemies with names over their heads). Be careful, as the troop leaders tend to ignore you and just run straight past you. Once you get the message, the precious item box will appear slightly in front of you. At this point it does not matter if you let people past the gates (let too many and you lose the stage though), so go pick it up.

    Diao Chan's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Xia Pi with Lu Bu's forces on the hard difficulty setting. Defeat all the officers including sub-officers before Cao Cao arrives without any ally officer dying.

    Dong Zhuo's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Liang Province with Dong Zhuo's forces on the hard difficulty setting. Take the east and west bases, then defeat Ma Chao and Pang De.

    Gan Ning's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Xia Kou with Huang Zu's forces on the hard difficulty setting. Kill Ling Cao and Ling Tong within two minutes from the start of the stage.

    Guan Ping's fourth weapon
    Play Escape From Chi Bi with the Allied forces on the hard difficulty setting. Defeat all officers including sub-officers. Note: Make sure you personally kill all the generals.

    Guan Yu's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Fan Castle with the Shu forces on the hard difficulty setting. Defeat Cao Ren's sub officers before the flood attack. The weapon report appears after the flood attack.

    Huang Gai's fourth weapon
    Play the Yellow Turban Rebellion with the Han forces on the hard difficulty setting. Kill all the officers and sub officers outside of the fort that Zhang Jiao is in.

    Huang Zhong's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle of Mt. Ding Jun with the Shu forces on the hard difficulty setting. Defeat Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He before Cao Cao arrives. The weapon report will show up when Cao Cao appears.

    Jiang Wei's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Tian Shui with the Wei forces on the hard difficulty setting. Wait until the first two forts fall and sometime after that until Ma Zun retreats. An ambush party will appear in the northeast. Defeat the officer. An item report will be in the northwest of the map. Ma Zun will not escape because he will get lost and run towards Zhuge Liang.

    Ling Tong's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of He Fei with the Wu forces on the hard difficulty setting. Defeat Zhang Liao each time he appears. A valuable item message will appear. The item is on the wall of the castle surrounding Cao Cao.

    Liu Bei's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Yi Ling with the Shu forces on the hard difficulty setting. Defeat Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Lu Xun, and Sun Shang Xiang. Kill Sun Shang Xiang quickly; when you meet her an intermission sequence will begin and she will run away.

    Lu Bu's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Chang Shan with the Yuan Shao's forces on the hard difficulty setting and get 1,000 kills.

    Lu Meng's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Fan Castle with the Wu forces on the hard difficulty setting. Make Mi Fang and Fu Shi Ren surrender. Then, go to the gate where it says that the reinforcements cannot come because of the guard captain there. Kill the guard captain and in a minute Xu Huang will arrive. When Zhang Fei and his sub-officer arrives, kill them both. If Xu Huang, Mi Fang, and Fu Shi Ren lived, you will get White Tiger.

    Lu Xun's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Bai Di Castle with the Wu forces on the hard difficulty setting. Defeat Ma Chao and Jiang Wei before you enter the castle.

    Ma Chao's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Tong Gate with the Allied forces on the hard difficulty setting. Knock Cao Cao off his horse before he crosses the Yellow River.

    Sima Yi's fourth weapon
    Play the Battle Of Chen Cang Castle with the Wei forces on the hard difficulty setting. Eliminate the three bases at the bottom of the map that produce the rams, siege ramps, and catapults before they do any damage.

    Play the Battle Of Bai Di Castle with the Shu forces on the hard difficulty setting. Let your health be yellow. Liu Chan will try to meet with you; let him.
