There are 4 different levels of Renbu each adding to the effectiveness of every characters attacks. Due to the new Renbu system, weapons no longer have a set amount of attacks. Each character will cycle through an amount of attacks based on their current Renbu level. Also new to DW6 is that every character has a new weapon and moveset. Unfortunately this time there are only 17 musou modes and some of the previous characters are no longer in the game. Also note that horse/weapon drops are for the most part random. Non-playable officers will drop 50 exp. Playable drop 100 exp. Turbo and Hyper Mode officers drop 200 exp. Some officers do have a preset horse/weapon drop though. ****************************************************************************** 2) Controls: Left Stick: Move Right Stick: Rotate Camera Back: Toggle On/Off Health Bars Guide Button: Open Xbox Guide Start: Pause Game/Skip Cut-scenes Down D-Pad: Call Warhorse X: Normal attack Y(tap): Attack enemies in front of you Y(hold): Attacks enemies all around you B: Musou Attack A: Jump/Mount LB: Guard/Strafe RB: Evade/Jump Horse LT: Special RT: Zoom Maps ****************************************************************************** 3) About Zhang Liao: Zhang Liao can be unlocked by beating 1 Wei musou mode. (Taken directly from the encyclopedia in DW6) Born in 169 and died in 224. A Wei officer. In the beginning, he fought in various battles under Lu Bu. After Lu Bu's death, he served under Cao Cao. During his defense of He Fei, he managed to repel over 100,000 Wu troops with just 800 men. He was feared throughout the land. He was promoted to the head of the Wei Five Generals. To read more, go to www.kongming.net and learn about Zhang Liao as well as others. ****************************************************************************** 4) Weapons/Skills Zhang Liao now has a new weapon in DW6. The weapon is actually two small halberds for each hand. There are three different types of weapons. Orange(Strength), Green (Standard), and Blue(Skill). The colors represent different Renbu builds. Blue makes it easier to build. Green is a normal time to build. Orange of course takes longer but makes the time up with strength. Each weapon also may or may not contain an element and skills. The ideal weapon is one high in attack with the skills True Musou and Flash. Each character in DW6 also has a skill tree. On the skill trees are skills(duh), stat powerups, and special abilities. Weapons: Twin Vipers(Green): This is the standard weapon for Zhang Liao. Each character also starts with a standard weapon with a base damage of 60. Twin Eagles(Blue): This weapon usually comes in a lower attack than normal. It also has a different blade on the end. Twin Dragons(Orange): These are the stronger weapons. Yet again it also has a different blade on the end of the handle. Weapon Skills: There are various weapon skills that improve the effectiveness of the weapon the are: Balance: Gain the advantage in a weapon deadlock. Not the most useful skills but does help if you struggle in weapon deadlocks. Leech: Your life gauge recovers slightly when you inflict heavy damage on an enemy. Okay but not too noticable Concentration: Musou gauge depletes quickly, but the Musou attack is stronger. I do not like to use this as it tends to exactly what it says, deplete the gauge quickly. True Musou: The Musou Attack becomes a True Musou attack. This skill is one of the best to have. The True Musou deals massive amounts of damage and is great bundled with other skills. Mystic Seal: The weapon affinity is strengthened. Causes more elemental damage. This is useful especially with the ice element as it causes many enemies nearby to be frozen. Arrow Sight: You will deflect arrows while attacking. I usually do not use this skill unless it is on the weapon with the best attack. Berserk: Attack increases greatly, but defense drops tremendously. This of course is a double-edged sword. It is up to you if you want greater attack at the cost of lower defense. Renbu Spirit: Your chains stay active longer. Good if your horse is slow so you can keep Renbu while you move from place to place. Flash: May instantly defeat weaker opponents and inflict heavy damage on enemy officers. This is possibly the best weapon skill in the game. Bundled with True Musou, this could take down an enemy commander in one musou. Air Wave: Upon attack, send out a wave of air that damages enemies. This is an okay skills. It can help damage those enemies that are just out of range. Weapon Elements: Along with weapon skills, many weapons will also have an element. The element is on the top right of the weapon picture. There is fire, lightning, and ice. Fire will set burn enemies causing some minor damage. Lightning will cause enemies to pop into the air or confuse them. Ice freezes the enemy for a few seconds allowing time to unleash havoc into their bodies. Skills: There are various skills and specials on the skill tree. I recommend making your way to infinite Renbu as fast as you can because it is possibly the best special. Skills are orange diamonds, Specials are green diamonds, and attributes are either small or big circles depending on the contents. Life: There is a total of +115 life on the tree Musou: There is a total of +90 musou on the tree Attack: There is a total of +95 attack on the tree Defense: There is a total of +90 defense on the tree Skills: Zhang Liao has 10 different skills. They are: Horsemanship: Raises your horse's abilities to their fullest. Ward: Defense doubled when near death and knocked down. (30 sec) Adrenaline: Attack doubled when near death and knocked down. (30 sec) Special Start: Allows you to begin a stage with one Tome. Victor's Aura: Increases the chance of success for raids and lengthens the duration of the enemy's confusion. Third Renbu: Unlocks Renbu Rank 3. Pouch: Allows you to carry two Tomes and they will appear more frequently. Infinite Renbu: Unlocks the highest Renbu rank. Bag: Allows you to carry three Tomes and they will appear more frequently. Bonus Special: Receive one Tome for every 300 K.O.s Specials: Zhang Liao has 3 different specials. They are: Stamina: Increase the duration of your special attack. Rush: Inflicts heavy damage on weak enemies by touching them while using True Speed. Power Rush: Defeats weak enemies by touching them while using True Speed. True Speed: True Speed is Zhang Liao's special (LT). Zhang Liao's speed is increased tremendously. While running, Zhang Liao will spin his halberds around damaging enemies. ****************************************************************************** 5) Moveset: Normal Renbu 1: Downward slash from right to left followed by a slash from left to right followed by a spinning swing followed by another swing in reverse. Normal Renbu 2: Same as the first with four frontward swipes at the end of the rotation. Normal Renbu 3: Same as first two with a forward poke and then two swings from back to front on each side. Normal Infinite Renbu: Same as the first three with seven more back to front swings at the end. Charge (Tap): Jab in front. Charge (Hold)): Swing both halberds from right to left. Musou: Same as level 3 Renbu but stronger. Finish with a series of swings and a stomp on the ground causing a shockwave to damage all enemies nearby. Jump + Charge: Swing halberds straight down into the ground. Jump + Plus Normal: Swing halberds from inside to out. Evade: Roll in the direction he is moving. Horse Normal: 3-9 swings to the right side depending on Renbu level Horse Charge: Strong swing to the right side. Horse Musou: Swings to the right side with a strong swing to finish. Running Normal: ****************************************************************************** 6) Musou Mode: Stage 1: Guan Du Time Limit: 90 minutes Conditions: Victory: Defeat Yuan Shao Defeat: Cao Cao is defeated Targets: 1) Defeat Wen Chou or Yan Liang. (300) 2) So not allow Guan Du West Gate or Guan Du East Gate to be breached. (300) 3) Yan Jin Fort and Bai Ma Fort do not fall. (500) Targets 1 and 2 are easy to do at a beginning level. Target 3 should be attempted with a fast horse and a strong character. Starting off, head North to Bai Ma Fort and kill Shen Pei and Xun Chen who are at the base. Each of them will drop 50 exp. Stand on the north side of the fort in front of the water. There Yuan Tan will come to attack. Be careful because he is in Turbo mode and will take a while to kill. After killing him, he will drop 200 exp. Soon after Yuan Tan arrives, Yuan Shang will also come to attack. He is also in Turbo mode so be careful. If you need health, do not hesitate to return to Bai Ma Fort to pick some up. Defeat Yuan Shang and he will drop 200 exp. Yan Liang will then come across the river with Yan Rou and Chen Zhen. Focus on the two sub-officers before killing Yan Liang. The two sub-officers will drop 50 exp. Yan Liang is in Hyper Mode and has a red aura around him. Killing him can be time consuming and you may take a lot of damage. Killing him will wield 200 exp and you will complete Target 1. If at this time Yan Jin has not fallen, head to it and defeat everybody that is attacking it. Han Meng and Wang Xiu should be attacking the Fort. Killing them will then yield 50 exp from each. Do the same thing and head towards the river preparing to fight any whom come across. The first across should be Yuan Xi. Just like the rest of the Yuan brothers, he is also in Turbo Mode. Defeating Yuan Xi should drop a saddle for you. Wen Chou will then come charging across with his sub-officers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. Defeat the subs first and then go after Wen Chou. This battle is much like the Yan Liang battle from earlier. Each of the subs should drop 50 exp and Wen Chou will drop 200 exp. After this battle, Gao Lan may try to sneak across the river into the base. Head back and defeat him to collect 200 exp. (He is in Turbo Mode.) This should leave both bases in a good position to achieve the target. After you are done defeating all of the officers, head back to Guan Du castle to rid the officers attacking there. At the castle, destroy any catapults that are set up and especially any rams being built or being set up. Gao Gan and Xin Ping should be at the West Gate. Defeat each of them to obtain 50 exp from each. Kill any siege officers and move to the east gate. At the east gate Liu Pi should be attacking. Defeat any rams and then defeat Liu Pi. Liu Pi will drop 50 exp. Kill anymore siege captains and then head east. Your first encounter should be a gate. Go ahead and take it. After the gate, head northwest and take Guan Du West Post. From there, head north to the river. If you encounter Chen Lin, kill him and take his 50 exp. If you encounter Zhang He, do not kill him as he will defect soon. At the river, go left until you come to a landing on the other side of the shore. Head north to Wu Chao West Camp and jump on in. If Zhen Ji appears in the forest, stop and kill her to take her 100 exp. If you jump into the camp and successfully confuse the people there, defeating Chunyu Qiong while they are confused will yield 200 exp. Head East to the entrance and then defeat Lu Wei Kuang. Lu Wei Kuang will drop 50 exp. From there, defeat the corporals in the camp to take it over. Upon doing so, you will see a cut-scene where the camp is set ablaze. After the camp is on fire, Zhang He and Xu You will defect to your side. (If they are still alive that is.) Feel free to take the east camp and then head towards Yuan Shao. By this time, Tian Feng may have arrived as reinforcements for Yuan Shao. Killing him gives you 50 exp. Yuan Shao should be in Bai Ma so head there as quickly as you can so you can still get the target. Defeat any officers around him and they should give 50 exp each. When you are ready, kill Yuan Shao and he will give you 200 exp. Stage 2: Chang Ban Time Limit: 90 minutes Conditions: Victory: Defeat Liu Bei. Defeat: Cao Cao withdraws or Liu Bei reaches the docks. Targets: 1) Score 300 or more K.O.s (300) 2) Defeat Zhang Fei (500) 3) Do not attack the refugees (500) Getting the third target should only be done if you go directly for Liu Bei. If you do not, kill the refugees so Liu Bei stops running. Killing all of them will put him in Hyper Mode, which may not be good if you are a low level. Zhang Fei is also in Hyper Mode while defending the Chang Ban Bridge, wait for him to say "There. That should do it" before killing him if you are at a low level Start by heading in the direction you are facing until you come to a bridge on your left. Cross it and attack Liao Hua and get his saddle. Right down the path are some refugees. Kill them to make Liu Bei stop advancing. Keep advancing around the bend and ignore the watchpoint. Next up should be Jian Yong. Kill him to get 50 exp and kill the refugees next to him. Keep advancing towards the Chang Ban Bridge. Zhuge Liang should change courses and head to meet you. Kill him and his sub-officer Zhuge Jun to collect a weapon/100 exp and 50 exp respectively. Right in front of you is Zhang Fei. Ride by him and he will not chase you. If you do stop to fight Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun might ride up to you and he is in Turbo Mode. At this point, you may want to run. If not try to unleash some musou attacks and bring down Zhang Fei first. Zhang Fei in Hyper Mode will drop 200 exp. Zhao Yun will also drop 200 exp. After the bridge, veer left and continue along until you come to Yi Ji and Hu Ban. One should drop a weapon and the other a saddle. From the South First Post head to the second First Post and take it back and then defeat Guan Yu and his three sub-officers, Chen Zhen, Chen Dao, and Ma Liang. The subs will drop 50 exp and Guan Yu drops a weapon. After taking the Post, head east towards the Southeast Fort. Kill any refugees along the way. You can also stop to defeat Zhou Cang who has 50 exp. Head through the base and towards Liu Bei's position. Hopefully there is one group of refugees left so Liu Bei is not in Hyper Mode. Kill Liu Bei to finish the stage and collect 200 exp. (On a side note, I had to replay this 3 times because Zhao Yun and then Liu Bei killed Cao Cao in one hit by a Musou attack. Watch out for Cao Cao if he is near any Turbo or Hyper officer.) Stage 3: Chi Bi Time Limit: 90 minutes Conditions: Victory: Defeat Sun Quan. Defeat: Cao Cao withdraws. Targets: 1) Take West Watchpost in 5 minutes (300) 2) Take North Fort and East Fort in 10 min. (300) 3) Player Maintains at least 70% life. (500) I would not worry about the targets and more about stopping the fire attack. Play free mode later to obtain the targets. The third one is much easier with a high level character. To start, eliminating Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are the first things you will want to do. Start by heading south and killing Xue Zong and Xu Sheng who will drop 50 exp each. Xun You will talk about hitting a gong to make the ship move. Head onto the ship just south of you and hit the gong. Exit off the ship when it stops and head southeast towards the base. Go past it and up to Zhuge Liang. Up there will be Zhuge Liang, Lu Meng with Sun Shao, Lu Su with Yu Fan, and Zhuge Jin. Try to hit Zhuge Liang with a musou attack to deal a good portion of damage. Also be careful because Zhuge Liang will be in Turbo Mode and take many hits to kill. Zhuge Jin may drop a weapon/50 exp, Sun Shao, Lu Su, and Yu Fan will drop 50 exp, Lu Meng will drop 100 exp, and Zhuge Liang will drop 200 exp. After Zhuge Liang is dealt with, head back down and turn east. When you reach Sun Quan's main camp, turn north and then follow the path up towards where the action is going on. At the gate of the East Fort is Pan Zhang. Feel free to kill him and take his 50 exp. After you break open the gate, look on your map for Zhou Yu. He should be on a little hill just north of you. Head up to him and try to quickly defeat him as Pang Tong is coming. If you have time, take out his sub-officer, Lu Dai to get 50 exp. When Pang Tong gets there, he will defect and he will be in Hyper Mode. Zhou Yu himself will drop 100 exp. Pang Tong is actually one of the easier Hyper Mode generals. If you get a good combo on him followed by a good musou, he should be really hurt. After Pang Tong is dead, the fire attack will happen. Do not worry though as it will almost have no effect. Head back down the mountain and then go help take the base where your men are fighting. Ma Zhong will be at the base of the hill and Ding Feng will be just north of him. Killing them will yield 50 exp and a weapon. Next, take the base I mentioned earlier. If your allies have not defeated Cheng Pu and Zhu Huan, take them out now and get 50 exp each. After clearing the area, head south and take over the East Fort. If you have managed to go fast enough, you will achieve Target 2. (That is if your allies take the North Fort fast enough.) Inside the base should be Han Dang. Kill him and get another 50 exp. After taking the base, head further south and kill Su Fei who is standing guard at the front of Sun Quan's main camp. After that, kill of all the officers inside Sun Quan's camp to gain more exp. Each of them should drop 50 exp. Sun Quan will drop 200 exp. Stage 4: Battle of He Fei Time Limit: 90 minutes Conditions: Victory: Wipe out all enemy units. Defeat: He Fei West Castle or He Fei East Castle fall. Targets: 1) Take Chao Hu West Fort and lower the drawbridge in 10 min. (300) 2) Defeat Lu Meng and Sun Quan in 20 min. (300) 3) Achieve Target 1 and Target 2 and win in 20 min. or less. You need to defeat Lu Meng and Sun Quan personally or they will not count as your kills. Also, have a fast horse so you can get from the drawbridge to your castles so they do not fall. Zhang Liao starts in a great spot for achieving Target 1. Start by heading south and eliminating Pan Zhang who of course drops 50 exp. After killing him, cross the bridge in front of you and head a little farther south and attack the drawbridge thus lowering it. After lowering the drawbridge, head back north to Chao Hu East Fort and take it over. Right outside the other exit, Xu Huang should be fighting Ling Tong and Ding Feng. Killing Ding Feng yields 50 exp and Ling Tong drops 100 exp. After beating them, take Chao Hu West Fort and achieve Target 1. After getting the first Target, quickly head to the West Castle because many officers are advancing on it. In the Chao Hu Northwest Fort, Dong Xi is attacking. Quickly kill him and take your grand prize of 50 exp. Now head to the red dot on your radar where you will encounter Sun Huan, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhu Zhi, Ding Feng, and Sun Shao. They will not be that much of a challenge and can be easily defeated. Each of them will drop 50 exp and Zhou Tai drops 100. If you look on your map, you will see the Chen Wu and Han Dang are trying to take your fort. Go over there and take them out. Each of them should drop 50 exp. Sometime during all of this, you will hear about enemy reinforcements. Zhu Huan, Zhou Fang, Lu Meng, and Lu Dai are now advancing to the east side of the map where Gan Ning will join them. All of the regulars should drop 50 exp while Lu Meng drops 100. Gan Ning will drop a weapon. After defeating them, swing around the bottom of the map towards Sun Quan's camp. Kill Zhang Zhao, Xu Sheng, and Lu Fan who should all be fighting right outside the camp. They should all have 50 exp. Inside the camp is Ma Zhong, Zhuge Jin, Quan Zong, and Se Fei. Killing them will also be 50 exp. Sun Quan should now be the last one to kill and he will drop 200 exp. Make sure you kill him so you can get the target. Stage 5: Shi Ting Time Limit: 90 minutes Conditions: Victory: Defeat Sun Quan. Defeat: Cao Cao withdraws. Targets: 1) Defeat Ling Tong, Gan Ning, and Xiao Qiao in 10 min. (300) 2) Take West Canyon Watchpost and Shi Ting South Post in 15 min. (300) 3) At least 7 of your targets including Cao Xiu survive until victory (500) Start off by taking a left and going up the hill towards a base. In the base, kill Sun Lang and take his 50 exp. Xiao Qiao will eventually run up to you and challenge you. Quickly defeat her and move on your way. Turn south towards the castle Cao Xiu is in and go by the watchpoint. Charge into the castle yelling your favorite battle cry and take on the people attacking Cao Xiu. But wait! Before you enter, Ling Tong appears with Lu Dai. Kill Lu Dai first for 50 exp and then focus on Ling Tong. Ling Tong is in Turbo Mode so he will take a little longer to defeat. Once you manage to defeat him, then charge inside and rescue the castle. Inside the castle is Zhou Fang and Chen Wu who drop 50 exp each. Gan Ning will now be here also and he is pissed. He will be in Hyper Mode so that means a good reward when you kill him. He is actually an easy Hyper officer if you can get a good combo on him. Finish off killing any officers in the castle and collect your meager awards. Now that the castle attack has been repelled, time to get some targets. Head out the west gate and go take the watchpoint to the west. After taking that, head towards your main base where many enemy units are gaining an advantage. Take out Taishi Xiang and Zhu Huan to get 50 exp each. If Cao Xiu has any enemies on him, go help him out and kill them. Normal officers should drop 50 exp and Lu Xun if he is there will drop 100 exp. Sima Yi will probably be struggling against Ma Zhong and Sun Shao. Help him out by killing them off. When ready, head back to the castle where Cao Xiu was and go the south way this time. Jump down to help your allies and then ride a little east until you find a path leading up a hill that ends up at the southwest base. If you are under 15 minutes still, take the base. Now feel free to go and help out your allies killing any guys and then finish off by defeating Sun Quan to win the stage. Stage 6: He Fei Castle Time Limit: 90 minutes Conditions: Victory: Sun Quan is defeated. Defeat: Cao Cao withdraws. Targets: 1) The North Fire Pit is not taken out by enemy forces. (300) 2) The Belt Trap is not taken out by enemy forces. (300) 3) The East Fire Pit is not taken out by enemy forces. (300) Start off by turning around and killing Zhuge Luo. After getting his 50 exp, turn around again and kill Ma Zhong who is attacking the fire pit. After he is dead, take the east exit to the outside and kill Sun Shang Xiang. After killing her, swing around the bottom of the castle taking the base on the way towards the Belt Trap in the center. On the Belt Trap, kill Gu Yong, Lu Fan, Lu Xun, and Xue Zong. If you fall down, just kill them down there or go right back up if they do not fall. After killing all of them, head towards the west where there will be a passage leading to the North Fire Pit. Inside it, kill whichever officers are attacking. Now all of the places should be fine if they have not fallen already. Start by taking the bases on the West side of the map and working your way south. None of the officers on the way to Sun Quan's main camp are really that tough. Just make sure that you do not get too many of them on you at once or you might have a hard time. Try to lure officers off of the ships and defeat them on land. Once you have defeated enough of the officers and you are confident you can beat Sun Quan, go and finish him off. Sun Quan is in Hyper Mode so he can easily dispose of you if he gets some hits in on you. Once you finish, he should drop 200 exp and you have finished Zhang Liao's Musou Mode. ****************************************************************************** Copyright: This guide is copyright © of Tom Stevens and may not be reproduced or redistributed in any way without consent.
