Lu Bu - Final Act
The Mightiest Warrior
---------------------
[Campaign against Sun Jian] (Lu Bu's Forces)
Difficulty: *****
Despite what your strategist tells you, take your time with his one. Sun Jian
isn't going anywhere (well, actually he is, but you get what I mean). Your
first priority is to take out Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su (or Sun Quan
depending on which scenario you are playing) _before_ you enter the castle
where Sun Jian is. If you don't you will regret it. Once they are all taken
out, go ahead and enter the castle. No one's home huh? This of course is a
ruse. Sun Jian will appear behind you all the way back at base camp. Gan
Ning, Sun Ce, and Sun Shang Xiang will also appear to the west, center, and
east respectively. You can safely ignore Sun Shang Xiang. She won't even move
from her spot. Gan Ning on the other hand has no problem in raising hell. The
gates leading to their areas are closed, unfortunately. So you'll have to
take the exits to the sides of the castle to reach them. I would highly
recommend dealing with Gan Ning first. Head for the west gate of the castle
and take out the gate captain (and the sun general on the other side if you
like). Head straight for Gan Ning and defeat him. This will open the gates
that were closed previously. Next head for Sun Shang Xiang. She will put up
token resistance before she falls. Finally head for that annoying Sun Ce and
shut him up once and for all. When all of the Wu generals are gone you can
head for Sun Jian and put an end to the Sun family once and for all.
[Campaign against Liu Bei] (Lu Bu's Forces)
Difficulty: *****
Oh boy. This one is a whole lot of fun, and I don't mean that in a good way.
Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are seriously powered up for this battle, and
taking them out will not be easy. Start things out by engaging Guan Yu first.
Guan Ping should be nearby as well, as should several archers. You might want
to take out all the archers first as having your attacks interrupted by them
is not good when dealing with Guan Yu. Once Guan Yu is gone (or if you're too
slow in defeating him), Huang Zhong will appear nearby. Deal with him as
well. Note that during this time you may get a message that enemy scouts have
been detected to the northeast. When you get this message break off whatever
you are doing and head up to intercept them. Mi Fang should be wandering
around. Take him out ASAP. Once you defeat him he will be sent back to the
enemy to spread misinformation. Go back and defeat the remaining generals on
the west side of the castle before heading towards the east side.
According to Nanaki, you can defeat Mi Fang multiple times for even more
events. After his third or fourth defeat Mi Fang will surrender to your
forces.
Zhang Fei is waiting for you, and chances are good that he will challenge you
to a duel for killing Guan Yu. Like his oath brother previously, Zhang Fei is
also seriously powered up. Once Zhang Fei is gone (or if you're too slow in
defeating him) Ma Chao will arrive nearby. To make matters worse Mi Zhu will
also appear to the southwest to take out the entry point there. Quickly
defeat the generals in the area before heading there. Zhao Yun will
eventually appear to the east. Fortunately, this will be the last of the
reinforcements. When both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are defeated, Liu Bei will
become enraged and open all the castle gates in order to attack you. Ignore
him for now and defeat the other generals first. Mi Zhu will have probably
cleared the entry point by the time you get near him. Note that Wei Yan has
snuck in from the north while you were busy. Go and take him out after you
deal with Mi Zhu. When all of the Shu generals are dead, head back and take
Liu Bei out. He will be powered up so it won't be easy. But by this time you
should have a completely blue morale bar and have lots of help (i.e. allies
to distract him with while you hit him from behind).
