Xiahou Dun (Kirin Fang)
Stage: Guan Yu's Escape (Xiahou Dun's Forces)
Precious Item (location: Northeast corner of Guan Ping's fort).
Requirements: Defeat Zhou Cang, Chen Zhen, and Guan Ping (a pain with how fast Guan Yu moves and clears gates).

Stage: Tong Gate (Cao Cao's Forces)
Precious Item (location: Southeast from Ma Chao's fort).
Requirements: After defeating Ma Dai and Pang De (Ma Chao's officers) pass through Tong Gate to trigger the special item report. If you are playing with two players it is okay for the second player to kill Ma Dai and Pang De, but it must be the first player (Xu Zhu) who passes through the gate.
Zhang He (Peacock Talon)
Stage: Guan Du (Cao Cao's Forces)
Precious Item (location: center of map by bend in river).
Requirements: Find and burn the enemy supply depot with Yan Liang and Wen Chou alive. The supply depot itself changes location each game.
Zhang Liao (Dragon Breath)
Stage: He Fei (Cao Cao's Forces)
Precious Item (location: North from the broken bridge in the Southeastern area of the map).
Requirements: Defeat Zhou Tai.
Zhen Ji (Dark Moon Flute)

Precious Item (location: by Zhuge Liang's camp).
Requirements: Defeat Jiang Wei.
Shu
Guan Yu (Blue Moon Dragon)
Stage: Guan Yu's Escape (Guan Yu's Forces)
Supply Team (starts: North of 4th Gate, moves: South).
Requirements: Clear the 4th gate.
Huang Zhong (Oracle Sword)
Stage: Mt. Ding Jun (Zhuge Liang's Forces)
Precious Item (location: West from Cao Cao's starting location).
Requirements: Travel down the central patch and defeat Xiahou Shang.
Jiang Wei (Blink)
Stage: Jie Ting (Zhuge Liang's Forces)
Supply Team (starts: Northeast of Sima Yi, moves: Northwest entry point).
Requirements: Defeat Cao Zhen and Zhen Ji. Because there seems to be atime limit or some other requirement for this weapon it is suggested that you move North and defeat Zhen Ji as soon as the battle begins and then immediately continue North to defeat Cao Zhen. If you defeat them both at
the beginning (you can beat other officers on the way) the weapon report will show immediately. Also note that you do not have to approach Sima Yi's encampment at all.
Liu Bei (Gold Moon Dragon)
Stage: Yi Ling (Liu Bei's Forces)
Precious Item (location: Northeast side of Sun Quan's camp).
Requirements: Defeat Sun Shang Xiang. Make sure you are prepared before trying to get this item, Yi Ling is a very challenging stage when found on hard with Shu. Make sure you kill Lu Meng as fast as possible (if his morale fills completely you may not be able to beat him) and try to prevent the fire attack if possible (kill Zhu Ran after Lu Xun surveys your camp). You will probably find yourself fighting all opposing officers on your own.
Ma Chao (Steel Dragon)
Stage: Tong Gate (Allied Forces)
Supply Team (starts: by the Northern bridge, moves: Northeast). Requirements: Playing as Ma Chao charge Cao Cao as soon as you get the chance. When you get near Cao Cao there will be a cut scene after which he travels West across the top of the map (to the bridge above Ma Chao's camp). Ma Chao will tell Han Sui and some other officers to help against Cao Cao so they will travel North from the camp across the bridge to face him. Fight by Han Sui (keep him safe) and defeat as many officers and soldiers as possible until Cao Cao himself arrives. Cao Cao will meet with Han Sui causing his moral to drop (this happens when Cao Cao gets close to Han Sui). Continue fighting until you see the "the allied forces are reeling from reports of Han Sui's betrayal" message. Shortly after this message appears Han Sui will betray to Cao Cao's side (again, you must keep him safe until this point). Moments after his betrayal a supply team will arrive just South of the Northmost bride. Kill the supply captain and then finish off Cao Cao, Han Sui, and the rest of his officers. This procedure should work every time.
Pang Tong (Tornado Staff)
Stage: Cheng Du (Liu Bei's Forces)
Precious Item (location: Northwest area of map).
Requirements: Travel from the forest West down the Southern path. Zhang Ren will ambush you (Pang Tong), defeat him. Pang Tong himself must trigger the ambush so if you are using the two player trick (and Pang Tong is weak) make sure you defeat most of the soldiers attacking Liu Bei and all soldiers in Pang Tong's area first, this way Pang Tong will be safe while you kill the men with your other officer.
Wei Yan (Double Comet)
Element: Death (Activate with: SSSSTT, SSSSST*)
Basic +46, Jump +23, Att +24, Def +56, Range +22
Stage: Jie Ting (Zhuge Liang's Forces)
Precious Item (location: on top of the hill where Ma Su sets up his camp).
Requirements: After a little while Ma Su will charge the enemy but will instead be ambushed. When this happens find the enemy general attacking him (under Zhang He's command) and defeat him to save Ma Su. Keep Ma Su safe. Defeat all enemy officers by Sima Yi and then enter his camp (the item report will occur).
Zhang Fei (Viper Blade)
Stage: Chang Ban (Liu Bei's Forces)
Supply Team (starts: entry point by Xu Zhu, moves: North then Northeast).
Requirements: Go to Chang Ban bridge (the detailed bridge North of Xu Zhu) and wait until an officer attacks you there. When you meet the officer on the bridge you will see the Zhang Fei shout event. It does not matter what officer you meet on the bridge, they can come from the North or the South. You can also initiate the event by getting an officer to chase you to the bridge. When you have done this defeat Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. This weapon can be very tricky to get because Liu Bei will usually be in danger before an officer arrives at the bridge.
Zhao Yun (Fierce Dragon)
Stage: Chang Ban (Liu Bei's Forces)
Supply Team (starts: entry point by Zhang He, moves: Northeast).
Requirements: Defeat Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He. In addition to this you must also wait for Cao Cao's reinforcements to arrive (Cao Cao arrives at the 80 minute mark) and for Liu Bei will say, "Cao Cao, so you want to end it here at Chang Ban?" (occurs at the 78 minute mark); after this happens fight anyone around Liu Bei with Zhao Yun causing a cut scene in which Yun tells the enemy soldiers not to harm his lord. (This event can not be triggered by all characters, only Zhao Yun and some other Shu officers and cannot be triggered if Liu Bei has already reached his destination by Liu Qi's ships). You must finish everything before Liu Qi arrives with reinforcements and the requirements may be fulfilled in any order (the supply team arrives after completion). It is suggested that you defeat Zhang He last (so you are close to the supply team).
Zhuge Liang (Peacock Feather)
Stage: Wu Zhang Plains (Zhuge Liang's Forces)
Precious Item (location: down the passage to the East of Zhuge's fort).
Requirements: Defeat Cao Xiu after he arrives with his reinforcement troops. Maybe you can play whit two players. First player must be Zhuge Liang and sekond player can be more powerfull charakter. I play by Lu Xun. With Lu Xun’s Falkon can use death strike.
Others
Diao Chan (Gold Globes)
Stage: Hu Lao Gate (Dong Zhuo's Forces)
Precious Item (location: West of Fan Shui Gate).
Requirements: Defeat Yuan Shu (starts in the Southeastern area of the map).
Dong Zhuo (Grand Star)
Stage: Hu Lao Gate (Dong Zhuo's Forces)
Precious Item (location: The gate behind Xu Rong's initial position).
Requirements: Wait until the allied force has defeat all your generals but Lu Bu and Diao Chan. Diao Chan will betray to the allied forces' side. Defeat Diao Chan. You will want to go out and keep Diao Chan safe while your officers are being defeated, but try not to kill to many soldiers of the allied force. Try not to kill any generals at all. When you go to defeat Diao Chan after she betrays you may be surprised to arrive at here location with her nowhere to be found. If she is invisible go and kill some soldiers and maybe an officer in the area to make her reappear (this is a glitch in the game that you may encounter while trying to get this weapon). If you are going to use a second officer on this stage I would suggest Lu Bu.
Fu Xi (Fu Xi's Sword)

Yuan Shao (Grand Master)
Stage: Guan Du (Yuan Shao's Forces)
Supply Team (starts: North from Southeastern fort, moves: Southeast entry point).
Requirements: Keep Wen Chou alive for 10 minutes. Go to his aid at the beginning of the battle, he will be in trouble quickly. As soon as he is safe find and defeat Guan Yu (if Guan Yu gets near Wen Chou he will auto-matically kill him). After defeating Guan Yu return to Wen Chou and start killing the closest officers.
Zhang Jiao (Volcano Staff)
Stage: Yellow Turban Rebellion (Zhang Jiao's Forces)
Precious Item (location: Southeast from the Northern river).
Requirements: Defeat all three of Liu Bei's officers, all five of Cao Cao's officers, or all four of Sun Jian's officers.

As soon as the battle starts go and kill Ma Chao (he will kill Ahui Nan) and once you have done that go and attack the next closest threat (probably Zhang Yi). From there fight anyone that gets (or will soon get) close to either of them. Drop what you are doing and run to the rescue if either of them is in danger or has low morale.
