Walkthrough - FAQKESSEN II FAQ By Sean Twomey (sirashe1@aol.com) Version 1.0- FAQ/Walkthrough just started (10/28/01) Kessen II is Koei's sequel to Kessen obviously. It is a strategy/war simulation game based loosely on the period of Chinese History found in the Romance of Three Kingdoms series, also by Koei. It is a fantastic game, with awesome visuals found on the battlefields, in the spell effects, and in the cut scenes. I bought the game the first week it was out And have played it almost non-stop up until now, when I finally took a break to write this FAQ. I have beaten the game 4 times already! Twice as Liu Bei and Twice as Cao Cao, on different difficulty levels. Now without further ado, here is the FAQ: *Note* As of now this FAQ should only be found in one place: www.gamefaqs.com INDEX -I. BASICS 1. Introduction 2. Flow Chart 3. Political Policy 4.

Basics | ----------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION In Kessen II there are a number of different screens you will encounter. -The Battle Map Screen is the zoomed out view of the current battle you are fighting. When you are in this view, action in the current battle is suspended, so take as much time as you need. -Note that you can press the SQUARE button on any unit to receive information on that unit. -Press the X button on any of your army's units that are currently engaged in battle to zoom in and watch the battle. -Press X once again to zoom in to the officer view. From this screen you can move the officer around and or execute special abilities. All Battles are fought either on Land or at Sea. -Naval Battles are similar to land battles except that only one unit can engage an enemy unit at a time and some special abilities are not available. ----------------------------------------------- 2. FLOW CHART Kessen II has a general flow for each Stage: Power Status: The military situation is explained using maps and the narrator. | | Political Policy: Here you can make a political decision to aid your conquest. | | Drama: This stage advances the story using CG Scenes. | | War Council: You plan your strategies for winning the next battle in this stage. | | Battle: You fight the current battle. | | Post-Battle: Here you receive information about how you fared in the battle and have the opportunity to save. | | Next Stage: You repeat the above 6 steps... ----------------------------------------------- The Stages in the Game Flow Chart is like this: LIU BEI'S CAMPAIGN: Battle of Xu | | Battle of Ru Nan | | Battle of Bo Wan Po | | Battle of Chang Ban Po | | Showdown at Chi Bi (Naval) | | Siege of Cheng Du / | \ / | \ / | \ Mt. Dinjun - Southern Campaign - Fan Zheng \ | / \ | / Battle of Tian Shui / | \ / | \ / | \ Xi Campaign - Chen Cang - Wei Xing \ | / \ | / Battle of Wu Chang (Naval) | | Wei-Shu Conflict | | Battle of East Lau (hidden battle available on expert level only) ----------------------------------------------- CAO CAO'S CAMPAIGN: Battle of Xu | | Battle of Ru Nan | | Battle of Bo Wan Po | | Battle of Chang Ban Po | | Showdown at Chi Bi (Naval) | | The Battle at Tong Gate / | \ / | \ / | \ Mt. Dinjun - Fan Zheng - Xi Campaign \ | / \ | / Battle of Tian Shui | | Siege of Cheng Du | | Battle of Wu Chang (Naval) | | Wei-Shu Conflict | | Battle of Chang Zheng (hidden battle available on expert level only) ----------------------------------------------- 3. POLITICAL POLICY Before every battle you must complete the political policy stage. It is very useful in upgrading your army. You will always have 3 choices available and you must select one. Generally the choices will be: Policy Result ----------------------------------------------- Recruit Troops Increase in Troop Strength ----------------------------------------------- Train Troops Increase Officers Abilities ----------------------------------------------- Kill Man-Eating Tiger Increase in Fame ----------------------------------------------- Assist Land Development Increase in Supplies ----------------------------------------------- Research Weapon Increase in Troop Class or Development of a new weapon ----------------------------------------------- Form Special Unit Upgrade one of your existing Units to a special class ----------------------------------------------- Persuade Enemy Persuade enemy troops to desert ----------------------------------------------- Persuade Enemy Commander Persuade an Enemy Commander to Defect ----------------------------------------------- Fake Attack Cause Enemy to Divert Troops Away From the Battlefield ----------------------------------------------- Threaten Enemy Lowers Enemy Morale ----------------------------------------------- Train General General will greatly increase in Abilities ----------------------------------------------- Intercept Enemy Supplies Lowers Enemy Morale and Increases Supplies ----------------------------------------------- Recruit General Get a General to Join Your Army ----------------------------------------------- As Liu Bei during the Southern Campaign you can hire a local Guide. At the Final Battle as Liu Bei you can opt to give a speech, raising morale to 100. I HIGHLY suggest you do this, as it almost ensures your victory in the Wei-Shu Conflict. As Cao Cao, prior to the Showdown at Chi Bi you can write a poem, raising morale by 10. ----------------------------------------------- 4. OFFICER ATTRIBUTES Each Officer in Kessen II has a set rating in various attribute categories when they join your army. This rating can change during the course of the game though. For example, if you kill 3000+ enemy troops using a special ability such as charge or rush or raid or if you win a duel, your war attribute increases. Likewise, if you kill 3000+ enemy troops with a magic ability, your magic attribute increases. Fame increases when the officer's unit forces an enemy unit with high fame to retreat. Experience increases if an officer survives a battle without retreating or when the officer's unit forces an enemy unit to retreat, or when the unit destroys the enemy's supply compound. Attribute Description ----------------------------------------------- War (Battle) Officer's strength in combat, includes offense, defense and morale. The higher it is, the more likely you will win a duel. ----------------------------------------------- Magic Affects power of magical attacks and ability to withstand enemy magic attacks. ----------------------------------------------- Fame Higher rating means more troops in the unit. 100 soldiers per fame point. Higher rating also means more formations available. ----------------------------------------------- Experience Affects troop type upgrades and acquisition of new special abilities. ----------------------------------------------- 5. SPECIAL ABILITIES Each Officer can use a variety of Special Abilities; both Strategic and Magical. The selection and effectiveness increase as the officer's attributes increase. Strategic Ability Description ----------------------------------------------- Battle Cry Temporarily weakens enemy and decreases their Morale. ----------------------------------------------- Duel Challenge opposing Commander. Victory = raise in morale. Defeat= loss of morale. ----------------------------------------------- Rally Temporarily strengthens allied soldiers and raises morale. ----------------------------------------------- Raid Officer rampages through enemy unit killing soldiers. ----------------------------------------------- Charge Cavalry or Horse troops charge through the enemy. ----------------------------------------------- Volley Bow troops shoot arrows; more effective than regular shooting. ----------------------------------------------- Iron Wall Defends against magic attacks.

FORMATIONS In Kessen II Each Unit can move in one of 13 different formations. You are limited, however, to which formations the commander of the unit has learned. You can learn new formations by increasing in experience. Each Commander will automatically use whatever formation is best for the battle, but you can still change a unit's formation if you choose to. Formations Name Best Against Worst Against ----------------------------------------------- Asp Flat, Moon, Swan, Bowl Carp, Box ----------------------------------------------- Awl Flat, Dome Moon, Swan ----------------------------------------------- Bowl Carp, Box Asp, Bull ----------------------------------------------- Box Asp, Bull Moon, Swan, Bowl ----------------------------------------------- Bull Flat, Moon, Swan, Bowl Carp, Box ----------------------------------------------- Carp Asp, Bull Swan, Bowl ----------------------------------------------- Dart Flat Moon, Swan ----------------------------------------------- Dome Flat Asp, Bull, Dome ----------------------------------------------- Flat None Asp, Bull, Dart, Goose ----------------------------------------------- Goose Flat Asp, Bull, Dart ----------------------------------------------- Moon Carp, Box Asp, Bull ----------------------------------------------- Ring None None ----------------------------------------------- Swan Dart, Box Asp, Bull ----------------------------------------------- 8. TYPES OF ATTACKS Frontal: A frontal attack is best used when you outnumber the enemy by far, and your troops are of equal or higher class. A frontal attack pits you directly against another enemy unit with a head on attack. Flank: Flank attacks are highly effective against enemy units. It involves your unit attacking an enemy unit from the side. If used when the enemy unit is already engaged in battle, it will have a better effect because it will cause the enemy unit to split its forces and its morale will fall. Surprise: Surprise attacks are launched when you attack an enemy unit from behind. It can also occur in certain battlefield situations where one of your units is waiting in ambush for an enemy unit. It is highly effective because a surprise attack causes an immediate drop in enemy morale. It is _critical_ that you utilize flank and surprise attacks during the campaigns at expert level for you will almost always be outnumbered, outmatched, and outclassed. ----------------------------------------------- | II.

LAND BATTLES ---While fighting on a bridge in a land battle, some special abilities may not be available. ---The easiest way to get enemy units to flee is by causing their morale to reach 0 even if they still have a large number of troops. -The best way to do this is by destroying the enemy storehouse and or surrounding enemy units and ganging up on them with multiple allied units. ---Use special abilities often and early!!! -Special abilities regenerate, so the sooner you use them the sooner you can use them again. -Special Abilities regenerate about 10x faster if you are very close to your storehouse. The closer you are to your storehouse the faster they regenerate. -Optimize your special ability usage by targeting as many enemy units in the green effect field. It will kill more enemy troops that way. ---DUELS are one of the best specials for lowering enemy morale and helping you win the battle!!! -ONLY initiate a duel if your MORALE is HIGHER than the enemy morale. You will be sure to win every time if your morale is higher. When you win the enemy morale drops by about 1/3 of the bar and your morale increases greatly! -For example, use a rally to increase your morale and or a battle cry to decrease enemy morale right before you initiate a Duel and you will be more likely to win. ---Sometimes it is better to attack an enemy unit one on one so you can use your special abilities and affect more enemy troops, and then move in with another unit to surround the enemy. -For example, Liu Bei is fighting Cao Cao. Liu Bei initiates a rush that kills 4000 of Cao Cao's troops. -If Zhang Fei had been attacking Cao Cao at the same time from another side, Liu Bei's rush would only have killed 2000 of Cao Cao's troops because Cao Cao would have divided them to fight both Liu Bei and Zhang Fei ---If you can destroy the enemy storehouse the entire enemy army's morale drops to about 32!!! -Some battles the enemy has no storehouse. -If your scouts have located their storehouse, see if you can spare a unit to go and destroy it. It doesn't take long to destroy a storehouse and the resulting drop in morale is well worth it. ---Unless you are going to use your special maneuvers and significantly lower enemy troop numbers, always try and flank or launch a surprise attack on an enemy unit that is already engaged in battle. This means don't send units in one on one if you can help it and NEVER fight a battle with two enemy units on one allied unit. Its a losing battle. ---If you are finding a land battle very difficult to complete and you keep losing, send out a couple decoy units and then throw everything else you have at the enemy commander (either Liu Bei or Cao Cao depending on who you play). With 2 or 3 units surrounding them, the enemy commander won't last long and you will automatically win if they are forced to flee! 2. NAVAL BATTLES ---Some special abilities such as duel and charge and rush are not available in Naval Battles. ---Only one Allied unit can engage an Enemy Unit at a time and vice versa. -This actually works to your advantage because you can win a naval battle with ease even if you are severely outnumbered. Here's how: -Send your strongest units to engage the enemy, and use a couple specials. Then send your weaker units around to the sides and back of the enemy unit. While they cannot directly attack the enemy unit, if you still target the enemy unit it will say "will surround, ok?" press X and they will surround the enemy unit, causing disarray. This lowers the enemy morale _DRASTICALLY_ and QUICKLY. Within a minute of real time battle the enemy unit's morale will reach 0 and you will win. Repeat the process on all of the enemy units. ---Be careful not to let your units stack up behind each other. They will be unable to reach the front to engage and surround enemy units and it will put you at a severe disadvantage. ---It is almost impossible to win a one on one naval battle if the enemy unit has more troops than your unit. If you are outnumbered you simply MUST surround the enemy. 3. SIEGE BATTLES ---These are basically land battles in which the majority of the fighting is done in a small space. (inside the castle) ---The major difference is that you have to fight through the Castle gates to win the battle. -I STRONGLY recommend any plan in the war council phase that allows for the easiest route to the most open gates into the castle. -Attacking a castle gate and being pounded by the defenders all the while is one of the quickest ways for allied units morale to fall, which is bad. ---The majority of your special abilities are unavailable at gate battles. Duel is one of the few effective ones, as is Raid. -This is bad when you are fighting the defender one on one. If you have another unit approach from behind or the side after climbing the wall it makes the enemy defender fall much faster! ---You can also climb the wall by simply targeting the top of the wall as a units objective. If you cannot climb in that spot it will simply say 'rebuttes' in red. Change your target spot; you can mostly only climb right next to gates, but there are some other spots. -Be careful when you climb castle walls! There is no coming down on the outside, only on the inside and sometimes there is an enemy unit in the spot where you descend and you are stuck! A unit sitting on the castle wall is easy prey for enemy archers! ----------------------------------------------- | VI. SECRETS | ----------------------------------------------- Play Both Sides: Complete the game as Liu Bei and you will be able to play as Cao Cao. (no real secret, it tells you you can do that in the instruction booklet) Hidden Battles: After you finish the game as Liu Bei to unlock Cao Cao's side, notice that the difficulty level is set at normal instead of beginner (when you played as Liu Bei). Successfully complete the game as Cao Cao under the normal difficulty setting to unlock expert level. Select either Liu Bei or Cao Cao at the expert difficulty setting. Complete the game under expert difficulty setting to unlock a hidden battle for each side. As Liu Bei, the hidden battle is The Battle of East Lau. As Cao Cao, the hidden battle is The Battle of Chang Zheng. ----------------------------------------------- | VII. FAQs | ----------------------------------------------- Q: Help, I can't beat the naval battle where Guan Yu is alone at the beginning? A: Simply have Guan Yu retreat right away when the battle begins. Have Guan Yu and Liu Bei hover back towards the top of the map, avoiding engagements until your reinforcements arrive and you can win the battle. Q: How can I beat xyz battle? I keep losing! A: Don't be discouraged. If you lose a battle, retry it without restarting the game. The game |
