|1. INTRODUCTION |
O----------------O
It's said that heroes appear in times of crisis.
The time: end of the 2nd century; the place: China.
To answer the call of the times, they have come.
Its cries rendering the skies, the Phoenix soars.
Shaking the ground beneath its feet, the Tiger roars.
Piercing the clouds' veil, the Dragon rises to the heavens.
Wherever they go, there rains fire and destruction.
And so the age rages on:
There is none who can stop it.
- From the Dynasty Warriors 4 Instruction Manual
The fourth installment of Koei's and Omega Force's widely popular Dynasty
Warriors series, Dynasty Warrior 4 features the greatest heroes from the
Romance of the Three Kingdoms saga raging across the land for control over
China. Featuring enhanced graphics, a new soundtrack, a branching story
system, and bigger and harder battles, Dynasty Warriors 4 is sure to please
fans of the series.

|2. VERSION HISTORY |
O-------------------O
Version 2.01 (6/12/03) - Added minor updates and reader submitted
information.
Version 2.0 (5/16/03) - Major update to the FAQ. The exact requirements for
the 10th weapons and rare items have been released by KOEI in an article
featured in the May 2003 issue of Tips & Tricks magazine. I've updated the
10th weapon and item sections with the requirements.
Version 1.23 (5/12/03) - I knew it would eventually happen sooner or later,
but someone has finally plagiarized one of my FAQs. This very one in fact.
Not only did this individual plagiarize this FAQ, but he blatantly
plagairized it by simplying removing my name and replacing it with his. Talk
about pathetic. You can find out about this loser in the acknowledgement
section. Sorry about ranting, but I just had to get this off my chest.
Anyway, added a few more reader-submitted information and a section on
character bodyguards in the bodyguard section.
Version 1.22 (5/05/03) - Added a few more corrections for the 10th weapon
requirements.
Version 1.21 (5/01/03) - Updated more of the 10th weapon requirements and
walkthroughs.
Version 1.2 (4/28/03) - Updated the FAQ and walkthrough sections. Added a new
section on bodyguards. Added a few strategy tips to the strategy section.
Version 1.1 (4/24/03) - Updated the 10th weapon section and clarified some of
the requirements with reader submissions. Updated more of the stage
walkthroughs with reader submissions.
Version 1.0 (4/20/03) - First completed version of this FAQ. All I need to do
is to add some minor details for a few sections, but other than that the FAQ
is pretty much complete. Future updates will be a bit spotty, as I have work
deadlines coming up. Added corrections for various stages in the
walkthroughs.
Version 0.7 (4/18/03) - Added listings of bonuses you receive when completing
certain Shu stages during an act before the final one. I'll probably add more
later as I finish up the rest of the walkthroughs. Finished the Wu Musou Mode
walkthrough. Just a few more stages to go. Updated the Shu walkthroughs with
some additional information. Corrected the requirement for getting the Return
of the Yellow Turbans stage in the Shu Musou Mode. It seems a lot of people
had problems with unlocking that one. My apologies for the confusion.
Version 0.6 (4/17/03) - Added in depth strategy for the Imperial Seal stage,
since that seems to be a favorite for a lot of people. =) Updated the FAQ
section. Finished Wei's Musou Mode walkthrough. Began Wu Musou Mode
walkthrough. Added more events to the character event section.
Version 0.5 (4/15/03) - I've finally figured out a fail-safe method for
getting Liu Zhang to surrender in the Campaign for Cheng Du. Check out the
Shu walkthrough on how to do it. Updated the FAQ section. Updated the
character section with more fifth and sixth charge attacks. Updated the 10th
weapon section with the weapon names. Finished the Shu Musou Mode
walkthroughs. Started on Wei Musou Mode walkthrough. Updated the other Musou
Mode walkthroughs with stages that are related to the Shu Musou Mode. Added a
section on unique character events in the miscellaneous section.
Version 0.4 (4/11/03) - Updated the FAQ section. Finished up the character
section for the most part and added more comments for each character. All I
need to add are the remaining fifth and sixth charge moves and duel quotes.
Began the detailed version of the walkthroughs, starting with Acts I and II
of the Shu, Wei, and Wu Musou Modes. Corrected requirements on how to unlock
the Battle of Tian Shui.
Version 0.3 (4/9/03) - Finally played through all the stages of the game. Now
that I have all the English stage names I can, as Zhang Liao put it in DW3,
"move on to the planning." Added a section on obtaining the various endings
in the miscellaneous section. Updated character and walkthrough sections.
Version 0.2 (4/6/03) - Updated just about every section of the FAQ. Updated
the FAQ and character sections. Added comments and information to the item
section, as well as the locations for all of the items. 10th Weapon section
complete, but requirements for each weapon are still being finalized. Added
more stages and corrections to the walkthrough section. The stage paths and
secret stage requirements are finished for the Shu, Wei, Wu, Lu Bu, and
Nanman Musou Modes. Added a correction to the Shu "Eliminate Zhang Jiao"
stage.
Version 0.1 (4/3/03): First version of this FAQ. Since I'm playing this game
just like everyone else, it's going to take some time to get all the English
names of each of the stages in the game. For the walkthroughs I'll briefly
touch on some of the main highlights, then get into details in later
versions. Please do not send me e-mails telling me I'm missing a lot of
stuff, since I _am_ missing a lot of stuff. And do not send me any e-mails
asking me how to get any of the 10th weapons as I have not gotten any of them
as of yet.
