1. I N T R O D U C T I O N
Hello there. RamzaBeoulve259 here. Yeah. That's what they call me. Well,
today I shall write a FAQ for Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends. This game
is an expansion pack to the game titled Dynasty Warriors 4. Both games use
same characters, and same weapons, but Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends has
more features. But, however, Dynasty Warriors 4 has a Musou Mode and Free
Mode, whereas Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends does not. You could use a
disk swap. Concerning that later.
In this game, you pretty much fight. You have certain objectives to fulfill,
and certain losses to prevent. You are in the era of the Three Kingdoms, well,
in the game, that is. You fight enemies and all. Have fun with this game!
2. F R E Q U E N T L Y   A S K E D   Q U E S T I O N S
Questions to come. Anyone need help?
Q: When you use Load Original and turn off the Playstation 2, do u have to
reload Original back on even if you have saved mousu data from DW4XL?
A: Yes. As soon as you turn off the Playstation 2, you have to use the Load
Original option to get Musou Mode and Free Mode when you want to get them
again.

Okay, this game is basically about war. You need to know three things. Morale,
officers, and commanders. Morale is the dependent factor on which officer of
two will win when they battle each other. If your ally officer units battles
an enemy officer unit, they may say something about them being weak, or
strong. If they say they're weak, then they will most likely be able to win.
If they say they're strong, they will most likely lose. There are some ways
to raise your army's morale. Defeating enemy officers may help to raise the
morale of some officers. Each 50 kills you score may raise morale. Also,
completing certain events can help to raise your morale. There are also some
ways to lower enemy morale. You can lower an enemy officer's morale if you
defeat any sub-officers that they may have.
You should defeat all enemy officers in a battle, even sub-officers. This can
help to level up your weapon for a freshly, newly trained character. It also
helps to change the tide of battle.
You have objectives in a battle. Victory states that you must fulfill a
condition to win the battle. Defeat states that if a certain event occurs
(usually when your commander dies) you will lose the battle.
Try to keep your commander away from danger. If you let them fall into danger,
they will die, and if they die, you will most likely lose. Try to clear all
enemies around your commander so that all is safe.
You should try the game on Easy Mode first. Hard Mode and Expert Mode for a
new character is not going to be easy. The AI is very intelligent on Hard and
Expert Mode. They know how to counter your attacks and they juggle and attack
a lot if your guard is down.
There are in-battle items in the game. You should try to find them. They can
really, really help a lot in dire situation. You can usually find them in
boxes, pots, and from killing enemy soldiers. More to that on Section 5.
These are pretty much the basics of the game. Use these if you're a beginner
to this game.
5. I T E M S

Unlike the original Dynasty Warriors 4 game, this time you can't get items
from defeating enemy officers. Instead, you'll have to hunt them down in
treasure boxes.
Item Hunting Method 1
---------------------
Now, here's a good way to get good leveled items in Expert Difficulty when
you level up any character to his or her max and got his or her Level 10 or
Level 11 Weapon.
Play Meng Huo's Legend, Nanman Warfare, in Expert difficulty. This stage will
be easy even in Expert difficulty. Defeat all enemy officers except for Sima
Zhao and rescue all ally officers. It's not required, but do it nonetheless.
Now it's item hunting time. Before you hunt the item boxes down, save and
quit. Then load up the game again.
These are the locations of the item boxes found in Meng Huo's Legend.
When you complete the stage, if you're not satisfied with the items, do a
reset by pressing Start and Select, and then hunt them down again. If you're
satisfied, then that's good.
Box 1: In the middle of the southeast horizontal path.
Box 2: In the middle of the middle east horizontal path.
Box 3: Just west of Sima Zhao's position.
Box 4: Just east of Sima Zhao's position.
Item Hunting Method 2
---------------------
If you have the original Dynasty Warriors 4 disc, load it up. Then go to Free
Mode, and play Battle of Wu Zhang Plains with a maxed out character with a
Level 10 or Level 11 Weapon. In this stage, there are five item boxes. If you
play in Hard or Expert Mode, you can nab some good items here.
Now first, regardless of which side you join, defeat all enemy officers
except for the enemy commander. Then save and quit. Then load up the game
again. When you complete the stage, if you're not satisfied with the items,
do a reset by pressing Start and Select, and then hunt them down again. If
you're satisfied, then that's good.
Box 1: It's at a dead end cliff to the left of Zhuge Liang's camp building.
Box 2: From Zhuge Liang's camp, make a right at the lowest right path. When
you have to turn upwards, at the area where you have to turn, find a box
containing an item box.
Box 3: When entering the gate where Xiahou Yuan charges out, just hug the
right cliff wall and you'll find a lone box with an item box in it.
Box 4: It's somewhere in the northwest.
Box 5: It's a box in the very north, inside the Wei camp.

Well, not many glitches are found yet. Stay tuned!
Prevent the enemy from attacking you in a duel
==============================================
If you're worried that you're going to lose in a duel, simply bear to a wall,
and then use your bow and point away from your enemy. He/she won't attack you,
and you can keep doing this until time runs out.
The A. I. Trick
===============
This trick lowers the A. I. of enemy officers. They'll still be able to cause
the same amount of damage for one hit, but they will be less aggressive.
1) Start the game on Expert difficulty.
2) At any time during the game, press Start and quit the game. Use the Quit
function, and not Start and Select.
3) Go to options and set the difficulty to Beginner mode.
4) Do NOT continue the game, instead, start a new game, and select 'Yes' when
it asks you if you want to start a new game
5) Any time during the new game, press Start and Select to reset the game.
6) Continue your game.
7. C H A R A C T E R   B I O G R A P H I E S
This section contains the biographies of the playable officers in the
kingdoms. Beware, for it contains some spoilers.
---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---==
Shu
---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---==
Zhao Yun:
Zhao Yun was a very honorable warrior. He served Gongsun Zan before serving
Liu Bei. Gongsun Zan introduced him to Liu Bei. Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were
actually friends. Zhao Yun saw Liu Bei's strong virtues and was very
impressed. When Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, Zhao Yun fled away. He
then travels to Liu Bei's army and serves him. During the battle of Chang Ban,
Zhao Yun went against the massive Wei army killing people on his way until he
rescued Liu Chan, and returning the baby to Liu Bei safely.
Guan Yu:
Guan Yu was known as the God of War. He is one of Liu Bei's oath brothers and
swears a brotherhood along with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. When he was separated
from his brothers, he joined Cao Cao's Wei army for a while. In Guan Du, he
killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two of Yuan Shao's most powerful generals.
However, he meets Liu Bei in battle, and then Guan Yu prepares to return to
Shu. When escaping from Xu Chang, he battled his way through five gates to
the Yellow River, where Liu Bei was waiting. He then later leads an attack
onto Cao Ren in Fan Castle, but is back-attacked by the Wu army and retreats
to Mai Castle, where he is eventually captured. When he was captured, Sun
Quan wanted to have Guan Yu join, but Guan Yu insulted Wu and was killed.
Zhang Fei:
Zhang Fei was another one of Liu Bei's oath brothers and swore a brotherhood
to both Liu Bei and Guan Yu. In Chang Ban, he scared many of Cao Cao's
soldiers with a loud roar and a scream. This terrified a lot of Cao Cao's
soldiers. When Zhang Fei heard of Guan Yu's death, he was shocked and very
mad. This caused him to his downfall, as Zhang Fei's people started to
dislike him and then kill Zhang Fei even though they were a part of the Shu
army.
Zhuge Liang:
Zhuge Liang was a very great strategist and a major contribution to Liu Bei's
army. He used tactics such as ambushes, traps, and fire attacks to wipe out
his enemy. During the naval battle in Chi Bi, he and Zhou Yu formulated of a
fire attack that Huang Gai had thought of. Both strategists asked a fisherman
where the wind was blowing to. The answer gave them a quick advantage and the
fire attack against Cao Cao's massive fleet worked. Then, after the Shu army
gained the lands of Cheng Du, Zhuge Liang went south to Nan Zhong. The Nanman
troops were causing trouble, but Zhuge Liang formed a relationship with the
Nanman leader Meng Huo after defeating him seven times. Then he went north to
Tian Shui. When he saw Jiang Wei's skills as a strategist, Zhuge Liang used a
ploy that made Wei think Jiang Wei was a traitor. Jiang Wei was forced to
depart to Shu, but there he and Zhuge Liang admired each other. Wei's
strategist Sima Yi was his arch rival, but Zhuge Liang died before the
showdown at Wu Zhang Plains, and he left things to Jiang Wei.
Liu Bei:
Liu Bei was the founder and leader of his Shu army. He fights to restore the
Han dynasty. He adopts Liu Feng as his son and has an infant son named Liu
Chan. He marries Wu's Sun Shang Xiang. He gives Liu Chan the throne when he
dies, but says to Zhuge Liang that if Liu Chan is not a good leader then he
can take over the Shu army.
Ma Chao:
Ma Chao was the son of Ma Teng. He was nicknamed "Ma Chao the Splendid". When
his father was killed by Cao Cao, Ma Chao wanted to have vengeance against
Cao Cao for his father's death. He lost against Cao Cao in Tong Gate, though.
Then he went to serve Liu Zhang, but when Liu Bei's army attacked, Ma Chao
was persuaded to join Shu. He fights for justice.
Huang Zhong:
Huang Zhong was an old man with great archery skills who first served Han
Xuan, one of Cao Cao's vassals. However, when he let Guan Yu pass during
Shu's assault on the Jing province, Han Xuan thought Huang Zhong was a
traitor, and was about to kill Huang Zhong for treason, but Huang Zhong was
saved by Wei Yan. Later in the battle of Mt. Ding Jun, he charged down
towards the Wei army and killed Xiahou Yuan.
Wei Yan:
Wei Yan first served Han Xuan, but later killed him when Han Xuan was about
to execute Huang Zhong for treason. He then served Liu Bei. He had a
rebellious spirit, though, and Zhuge Liang could not have handled him. Wei
Yan later revolted after Liu Bei's death, but was executed by Ma Dai for
suspicion of treason.
Jiang Wei:
Jiang Wei originally served Cao Cao's vassal, Ma Zun. He used a great
strategy to defeat Shu, which made Zhuge Liang admire his talents as a
prodigy. Jiang Wei was caught in an enemy ploy and was thought to be a
traitor. He then served Zhuge Liang, and he admired him. He liked to read
Zhuge Liang's strategy books. When Zhuge Liang died, Jiang Wei took command
as strategist for Shu.
Pang Tong:
Pang Tong was another strategist, like Zhuge Liang. In Chi Bi, he linked and
immobilized Cao Cao's massive fleet with chains, ensuring the first plan of
the fire attack. The fire attack eventually did work. Pang Tong then
suggested Liu Bei to attack Liu Zhang and take over Cheng Du. He was killed,
however, by Zhang Ren in an ambush when he was mistaken for as Liu Bei
because he was riding Liu Bei's grey horse, Hex Mark horse.
Yue Ying:
Yue Ying was the wife of Zhuge Liang. She was unattractive. However, she
possessed great skills for war, and Zhuge Liang wanted to marry her after
hearing of her skills. She tries everything in her power to support Zhuge
Liang.
---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---==
Wei
---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---===---==
Xiahou Dun:
Xiahou Dun was one of Cao Cao's cousins and Xiahou Yuan's brother. He was a
great warrior for Wei. During the battle against Lu Bu in Xia Pi, Xiahou
Dun's left eye was shot by an arrow. But when Xiahou Dun took it out, he
claimed that it was a spirit of his family, and since he could not throw it
away, he ate it instead. Even then, he could still fight well.
Dian Wei:
Dian Wei was loyal to his lord, Cao Cao. He was known as "The Coming Evil".
During the brief stay at Wan Castle, Dian Wei's weapon was stolen, and when

Well, here's the Legend Mode. Each character has one Legend stage. It pretty
much reflects on their historical actions. But some of these Legends are not
real. Also, once you beat a Legend with the default officer for the first
time, when you play that Legend again, you can play it with characters.
You also get ranks for completing a Legend. It's a letter rank. S is the
highest, but you can get that only by playing in Expert difficulty. I suggest
you do not do it until you are skilled enough.
Oh yeah, to use the Unit Info correctly, if there is a hyphen (-) next to an
officer's name, that means that the officer is a sub-officer under the above
officer. If there is an asterisk (*) next to an officer's name, that means
that they appear later as enemy reinforcements or enemy ambushes. If there is
a number next to an officer, it means the number of times the officer has
appeared in that battle.

Zhao Yun
The Chang Ban Run
Story: In the year of 208 A. D. Liu Bei was settling in Jing Province. Then
Cao Cao's massive army had marched to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei knew that he
could not defeat Cao Cao, so he took his peasants and army to escape. But
since the march went slowly due to the peasants, Cao Cao had eventually
caught up with Liu Bei's forces in Chang Ban. Liu Chan, Liu Bei's son, was
abandoned in the battle. All of a sudden, Zhao Yun, one of Liu Bei's generals,
decided to turn back and rescue Liu Chan. Zhao Yun must now rescue the young
baby, and return to Liu Bei to escape.

SPECIAL RULES:
No bodyguards
The stage starts with Liu Bei trying to escape and Zhao Yun declaring "I
shall rescue the young lord!" You have to find Liu Chan. He's trapped in a
box inside the Chang Ban Fortress. There are many boxes around, but one holds
the baby. Note that the one holding Liu Chan is random, but also the boxes
are at set positions. Anyway, when you do find Liu Chan, your next goal is to
escape outside the fortress and meet up with Liu Bei. Well, finding the baby
rewards you with the 1 minute Musou attack. Defeat Xu Huang and Cao Ren to
open up the fortress's north gate. Once you do, Cao Cao will say "Hmm... Such
a brave warrior is wasted on Liu Bei. Capture him! I will have him serve me!"
Xu Zhu will then charge. Also when you make your way to Liu Bei, who is being
ambushed by Yu Jin and Yue Jin, Xiahou Dun and Xun Yu will appear. First make
it to Liu Bei ASAP. Then defeat Xiahou Yuan, Yu Jin, and Yue Jin. Zhuge Liang
may have arrived by now. He will help you. Defeat all the enemy officers that
approach you, and then waltz to the escape point with Liu Bei. It should be
easy, but a bit difficult on Hard and Expert Mode.

OBJECTIVE:
Victory-1. Carriage is successfully defended 2. Both Player and Carriage
reach Escape Point
Defeat-Carriage is destroyed.
TIME LEFT: 30'00'00
SPECIAL RULES:
No items
This is in my opinion a hard legend stage. Guan Yu has to defend Liu Bei's
wife in a carriage. Cao Cao has sent his troops to attack Guan Yu. You have
to defend the carriage at first, and then later escort it north to the escape
point, where you will confront Zhang Liao. First you have to guard the
carriage. Enemy soldiers are invading Xia Pi and you have to kill them to
ensure the safety of the carriage. There are gongs next to the west, south,
east, and northeast gates. If you ring the gongs (hit them with your weapon),
they will close the respective gate and a guard captain will appear. If the
guard captain is defeated, the gate will open, but you can close it again.
Eventually Yu Jin will appear outside the castle after 3 minutes. As much as
you may want to defeat him, I suggest you don't. At least not yet. Stay near
the carriage at all times. Kill the enemy soldiers and try to have the gates
as closed as long. Some time after Yu Jin appears, Guan Yu will order the
carriage to move to the interior southeast section of Xia Pi. But if the west
and south gates are opened, the lady will be confused about the invasion. You
have to close the west and south gates. Move along with the carriage, making
sure that you defeat enemies near it. Guan Ping will appear to hold back Yu
Jin, and Yu Jin will withdraw for a while. When the carriage reaches the
waterway, an enemy ambush will appear. Defeat the enemies in the ambush and
move along with the carriage.
Once the carriage passes the waterway, enemy reinforcements will appear to
the east. Make sure that you close the northeast and east gates when they
open. Yue Jin and Li Dian will eventually appear, giving a morale boost to
their own forces. Guard the carriage. Try to find Speed Boots by killing
enemy soldiers. They really help a lot. Around 11 minutes Guan Yu will order
the carriage to mobilize to the northwest section, and Zhou Cang will appear
causing Yue Jin and Li Dian will retreat.
When the carriage reaches the north end of the waterway, another enemy ambush
will appear. Yu Jin will also appear here if you did not defeat him in his
first appearance. He has a horse, which will give you a speed advantage.
Defeat Yu Jin and kill all enemy soldiers. Take his horse as well. :P After
the carriage passes the waterway, Cheng Yu and a huge enemy force will appear
as enemy reinforcements to the southwest. Guan Yu will then realize that
retreat must be done, and now an escape point is formed to the north. You
have to escort the carriage there. Xia Pi's north west gate will then open.
Move along with the carriage. Enemy ambush parties will appear. Also, Yue Jin
and Li Dian will appear here if you did not defeat them before. Defeat them
both, and ensure the safety of the carriage. When the carriage reaches the
escape point, Zhang Liao will appear. Confront Zhang Liao and they'll talk.
Zhang Liao tells Guan Yu not to be stubborn, and Guan Yu will agree to serve
Cao Cao for a while, saying that resistance will endanger the lady. Mission
complete.

Zhang Fei
Defense of Chang Ban
Story: In 208 A. D. Liu Bei was in Jing Province, when Cao Cao's massive army
had marched to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei, knowing that he could not defeat Cao
Cao, took his peasants and army to escape. But since the march went slowly
due to the peasants, Cao Cao had managed to caught up with Liu Bei's forces
in Chang Ban. With panic in Liu Bei's forces, Liu Bei had to do something.
Zhang Fei then decided to guard Liu Bei and his troops on the Chang Ban
Bridge. Now he must defeat Cao Cao's forces on the Chang Ban Bridge, and not
one must pass the bridge!

This legend is a kill-a-roo. You just have to defend Chang Ban Bridge and
kill all enemy soldiers. If too many enemy soldiers cross the bridge then Liu
Bei will be defeated. You have to protect his rear.  Try to find War God Axes.
They double your attack power. After killing 50 enemies, Cao Cao will be mad
about it and will send Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Yu Jin to attack. Defeat
those three. Then Zhang He, Cao Ren, and Li Dian will appear. Defeat them
three. Once they're gotten rid of, kill all enemy soldiers. A last trio will
appear after, consisting of Xu Huang, Xu Zhu, and Yue Jin. After defeat them,
Zhao Yun will appear from rescuing Liu Chan. Cao Cao will appear, dealing
with you himself. Go ahead and defeat Cao Cao. Or if the time limit passes,
you also win. Meh. Mission complete either way.

Oooh, what a romantic one. Zhuge Liang must basically defeat Yue Ying 7 times
if he wants to marry her. But Yan Yan, Fa Zheng, and Ma Dai have also fallen
in love with her and want to marry her as well. You have to defeat them as
well. Anyway, Yue Ying is right there, so go defeat her. She's going to be
annoying with those soldiers around her, so defeat them all. Once Yue Ying is
defeated for the first time, she will then reappear to the southeastern
corner, with more troops. Here's the trick, actually: Each time you defeat
Yue Ying, you will get a message that says if Zhuge Liang won by what margin.
You want to basically defeat her quickly to get a wide margin. She reappears
seven times, the last time on the very top of the mountain, with some
Juggernauts.
Anyway, defeat Yue Ying for a second time. Then go up and left. You should
encounter Ma Dai. He claims that "It is I who saw the maiden first!" Defeat
him, yes, defeat him. After that, Yue Ying should reappear to the western
area. Go and defeat her again. Then she will reappear a bit north ahead of
your current point (where you SHOULD be), this time on a horse and with
horsewomen... yeah... If you need health, defeat the peons, as they provide
lots of meat buns. Once again defeat Yue Ying.
By this time you should have defeated her for a total of five times. After
defeating her for the fifth time, advance eastward. You should find Fa Zheng.
"She belongs to me!" ...yeah, whatever Fa Zheng. Keep dreaming. Defeat Fa
