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 to
go in the castle from the north gate and go through
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, then 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 all grouped in the center make good fodder, as
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.
