Samurai Warriors 2 // Fourth Weapons Guide
Things to remember before trying to obtain 4th weapons:
- You need to complete character's Story Mode at least once in any difficulty.
Dream Stages are not necessary, however.
- They can only be obtained in Story Mode (with the exception of Okuni and Ranmaru).
- Difficulty must be set on Hard or Chaos.
------------------------------------------------------------
YUKIMURA SANADA
Dragon's Tail
Base Attack +45
Element: Fire
Stats: Life +19, Attack +35, Defense +38, Horse +18, Musou Charge +32
Stage: Osaka Campaign
Requirements: Succeed in the missions 'Stop the cannons', 'Prevent Ina from reaching the main keep' and 'Prevent Masamune Date from reaching the main keep'.
Recommended level: +25
First take out Katsumoto Takagiri and exit Osaka Castle from the south
enterance. Defeat Naotaka Ii, Toshitsune Maeda and Tadanao Matsudaira
(if you have time) outside the castle. Ieyasu soon sends out his cannon.
Ignore Takatora Todo and destroy the cannon AFTER you have unlocked the
mission to do so. When the cannon has been destroyed, finish off Todo
and proceed to northeast where Ina is. Prevent her entry to Osaka Castle's
main keep (again, wait till the mission shows up). Take care of Tadateru
Matsudaira and Nagamasa Kuroda as well. Lastly, head to northwest corner where
Masamune is with his officers. Defeat Masamune when the mission appears and
valuable item should appear on the first floor of Osaka Castle. Finish the
stage normally.
------------------------------------------------------------
KEIJI MAEDA
Divine Mandible
Base Attack +50
Element: Lightning
Stats: Life +18, Attack +53, Horse +19, Musou Charge +49
Stage: Battle of Hasedo
Requirements: Obtain 1000 KOs.
Recommended level: +30
Defeat Yoshiaki Mogami at the first gate. Break through the 2nd gate as
well by defeating all enemy generals. At the third gate, when your mission
is to stop the enemy, start the slaughtering. However, don't kill all enemy
generals so that you don't run out of soldiers. Once you have obtained 1000
KOs, a tranport units appears just southwest of the 2nd gate. Catch up with
them and go aid Kanetsugu who is being attacked by Masamune.
------------------------------------------------------------
NOBUNAGA ODA
Demon Regalia
Base Attack +46
Element: Wind
Stats: Musou +18, Attack +35, Defense +16, Speed +18, Musou Charge +35, Attack Range +19
Stage: Battle of Tedorigawa
Requirements: Rescue all of your allied units; Hideyoshi Hashiba, Toshiie Maeda, Nagahide Niwa, Katsuei Shibata and Kazumasa Takigawa.
Recommended level: +20
Proceed north and defeat Shigeie Shimura immediately. Cross the bridge in the
north and defeat Kagetsugu Amakasu. First ally you're going to rescue is
Hideyoshi in the north. Defeat the general near him and Hideyoshi starts his
retreat into south. Keep on going and rescue Toshiie Maeda from the enemy
general. Katsuie Shibata is fightning against Takahiro Kitajaro in the
small island. Rescue him as well. From Katsuie's location head southwest
and aid Kazumasa Takigawa. Only one ally remains and that's Nagahide Niwa in
the south. Give him a hand and escort him to escape point. Nagaatsu Shimura
is probably bothering your allies at the west so take care of him as soon as
possible. Once the last allied unit has reached the escape point, transport
units appear near Kenshin's main camp. Go grab your weapon, prevent
Kanetsugu's entry to Funaoka Castle and kill Kenshin to complete the stage.
------------------------------------------------------------
MITSUHIDE AKECHI
Gilded Talon
Base Attack +45
Element: Lightning
Stats: Musou +36, Attack +34, Defense +35, Attack Range +37
Stage: Mitsuhide Unites Japan (Dream)
Requirements: When Kotaro appears, have at least 4 allied officers alive so that Mitsunari's army advances.
Recommended level: +40
Start by defeating Narimasa Sassa. Head to south and recue your ally by
defeating Katsuie Shibata, Toshiie Maeda and Kazumasa Takigawa. Go further to
the south where Masamune is. Defeat him and his officers in order to rescue
another ally. Head back to your main camp. Now defeat all approaching enemy
generals (Keiji, Tadayu Okubo, Kazumasa Ishikawa, Okuni, Nagazane Irobe,
Tadasuke Okubo, Shigenaga Honjo, Yukimura and Kanetsugu) with the help of
your allies. Once you have dealt with all enemy generals, approach Tokugawa
main camp from the north. Defeat Mototada Torii and Tadatsugu Sakai who are
guarding the first and second gates. Now you can approach Tadakatsu and
when you've done that Kotaro appears in the north. If you have at least four
allies alive, a message saying 'The Akechi Army is advancing' shows up on the
screen and the transport units come out of the stronghold just northwest of
the first north gate. Oh, and have fun with Kotaro and Tadakatsu.
------------------------------------------------------------
KENSHIN UESUGI
Frozen Flame
Base Attack: +46
Element: Ice
Stats: Musou +19, Attack +50, Speed +38, Attack Range +34
Stage: Conquest for Kyushu (Dream)
Requirements: Activate the geyser event, succeed in the mission. Defeat Hashiba Army' and defeat Ranmaru and Mitsuhide in that order.
Recommended level: +40
This is one of the hardest weapon to obtain in the game, so I'm going to give
you some tips:
- Equip Matsukaze, Persian Mare or Moon Child as your mount.
- Have 3rd weapon with Ice or Demon element and if possible, with Attack boost as well.
- Have Fitness, Opportunity, Awakening, Potence, True Power and Ele-Charge skills at level 3.
You start from the south. Take western route, head north, past the
geyser. Occupy the stronghold near you and the geyser event triggers soon.
You need to take a long detour now. Go all the way north, turn east, past the
Takeda main camp and head for Tsuruga Castle where Shingen is already
struggling against Hashiba Army. When you arrive to Tsuruga Castle, make sure
you defeat all Hashiba generals personally. Now wait till the west gate of
Tsuruga Castle opens and hurry back to Uesugi main camp. Rescue Kageie
Kagizaki and Kanetsugu by defeating all generals in the south. At this point
Yukimura is having trouble in the north so advance there. Defeat Nene and
Toshiie Maeda and your allies are safe for now. Head to Yoshihiro's location in
northwest before your allies do. The gates close behind you and you're
ambushed by Yoshihiro, Yoshihisa Shimazu, No and Nobutada Oda. Kill all of
them as fast as you can and exit the main camp. First head to Takeda main camp
and defeat the generals there. Ranmaru is approaching towards you but you
don't have time for him. Instead, head to Mitsuhide's location and take on
both of them (sucks, I know). Keep in mind that you MUST DEFEAT MITSUHIDE
FIRST and then Ranmaru. Once they both are dead the transport units appear in
the Uesugi main camp. Get your weapon, kill the enemy generals while you're
there and prepare for the final battle against Yoshihiro and his brother,
Yoshihisa.
------------------------------------------------------------
OICHI
Cup and Gold
Base Attack: +42
Element: Lightning
Stats: Life +34, Attack +38, Defense +34, Musou Charge +32
Stage: Incident at Shizukatage (Dream)
Requirements: Succeed in the mission 'Rescue Nagamasa Azai' and defeat. Nobunaga Oda and No. Defeat Ginchiyo Tachibana and Ina. Defeat Ranmaru Mori. Lastly, defeat Okuni (defects) and Nene in that order and wait until No shows up 2nd time.
Recommended level: +40
Take out Narimasa Sassa, Toshiie Maeda and Hidemasa Hori when the stage
begins. Move to north and defeat Yoshinari Mori. Enemies should have already
ambushed Nagamasa in the north. Go for his aid and complete the mission
'Rescue Nagamasa Azai' by defeating generals near him. Now comes the hard
part, you must defeat No and Nobunaga, but not Nene. But if you defeat
No first, Nobunaga leaves the battlefield and you can't let that happen.
So take your horse and charge into Oda main camp. Defeat him quickly though
because No might go after Nagamasa and you can't afford to lose him. Once
Nobunaga has been defeated, finish off No. Now all Oda and Azai generals
retreat, except Nene, Okuni and Nagamasa. Soon Ginchiyo and Ina appear in
the east and they're after you. Show them whose the boss while avoiding Nene.
Your next opponent will be Ranmaru (hope you're not surprised :P) who appears
in the south. Just like Nene, he's in the hyper mode but at least he's slower
than you. Defeat him as fast as you can and yes, you still need to avoid Nene.
Now that you have defeated all generals, Okuni thinks she's the most beautiful
and decides to defect. However, YOU MUST DEFEAT NENE FIRST (watch out, she's
quite strong) and then Okuni. Finally, No appears for the 2nd time and at the
same time the transport units come out from the stronghold located southwest
from the central garrison. Annihilate them and beat No to claim the title of
the most beautiful woman in the Japan!
------------------------------------------------------------
OKUNI
Raging Sun
Base Attack: +44
Element: Fire
Stats: Attack +19, Defense +37, Speed +17, Dexterity +39, Attack Range +35
Stage: Survival Mode - The Traveling Dancer
Requirements: Do the mission 'The Traveling Dancer' on floor 61 or above and defeat Keiji Maeda.
Recommended level: +35
Get at least 3000 gold so that you can start the Survival Mode from floor
51. Complete two missions (doesn't matter what they are) and you're on floor
61. Save your game and quit. Continue the Survival Mode and if you don't see
the mission 'The Traveling Dancer' on the list, soft reset (Start+Select),
go to options menu, load your game and choose 'Continue' again. Keep doing
this until the mission appears.
The goal of 'The Traveling Dancer' is to help Okuni to collect funds for the
Izumo Shrine. If you allow her to be defeated on floors 1-4 the mission fails
so take good care of her. On the 1st floor, listen what Okuni has to tell you
and the door to the stairs opens. On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors you have to
convince one of the warlords to donate money for you. The warlords are
Shingen, Kenshin, Ieyasu, Hideyoshi and Nobunaga. Succeed in the given tasks
on each floor to get the donation. On the 5th floor you'll find Keiji. Help
him to defeat the imposter Okuni. After you have defeated the imposter, Keiji
says he has something for you... a match against him! Beat him with your
umbrella and grab the red weapon box which he drops. Proceed upstairs and
you're the new happy owner of Okuni's ultimate weapon.
------------------------------------------------------------
MAGOICHI SAIKA
Marksman's Pride
Base Attack: +45
Element: Fire
Stats: Life +35, Attack +38, Musou Charge +20, Attack Range +39, Luck +12
Stage: Escape from Honnouji
Requirements: Defeat Nobunaga Oda within 10 minutes.
Recommended level: +30
This is not hard weapon to obtain but maybe a bit annoying. And because your
time limit is only 10 minutes, I recommend you don't stop to help the
peasants (and you might get lost). If you look at the map, you can't see your
position but you start from the southwest corner. Go along the western edge of
the map until you come to a stronghold. Check the map again and you should see
a garrison which is located east from the stronghold. Go there. Once you
arrive there, the gates close and you're ambushed by Raiders. Before you
dismount your horse, make sure it faces north so you know where you're
supposed to go when you mount it again. Kill the Raiders and exit the garrison
from the north enterance. No and Ranmaru appear in front of you. Kill them
quickly and keep going north until you see another stronghold. From there,
head east and you arrive at the gates of another garrison. Gates are being
guarded by Shigetomo Akechi. Defeat him and enter the garrison. This time, make
sure that your horse faces south when you dismount. Nobunaga should appear
pretty soon. Use all your strenght to defeat him as fast as you can and
then Interim save immediately. The transport units appear somewhere in the
south and they head west. I'm not sure where exactly but if you ride to
southeastern stronghold (go along the eastern edge) and then head west,
you should encounter them. When you have the weapon, head back to garrison
where Kotaro is. Defeat him to finish the stage.
------------------------------------------------------------
SHINGEN TAKEDA
Heaven's Sign
Base Attack: +48
Element: Wind
Stats: Life +18, Attack +20, Defense +51, Ride +20, Speed +19, Attack Range +19
Stage: Battle of Nagashino
Requirements: Succeed in the missions 'Seize control of Nagashino Castle. Defend the Tobigasu garrison, Prevent Tadakatsu Honda from entering the main camp. Prevent Hideyoshi Hashiba from entering the main camp' and wait for the rain event.
Recommended level: +30
Your first task is to occupy Nagashino Castle. Defeat the general in front of
the gate. Enter the garrison and defeat two more generals to succeed in the
first mission. Head to Tobigasu garrison in the south. Defeat Nagachika
Kanamori on your way there. Once you're in Tobigasu, complete the mission by
defeating Tadatsugu Sakai and the approaching Mitsuhide. From Tobigasu, cross
the bridge and prepare to face Tadakatsu. Your next mission is to prevent him
from entering the main camp. He's tough but with Shingen's Special skills
Tadakatsu will be dead in no time. With Tadakatsu out of the way, head north
where Hideyoshi is. Your mission is to prevent his entry to main camp as well.
Fortunetly, he's not in hyper mode so defeating him doesn't take much time.
After Hideyoshi is gone, the rain event happens. Shingen then orders a
charge and the transport units appear in the most southern stronghold.
Grab the weapon and destroy Nobunaga.
------------------------------------------------------------
MASAMUNE DATE
Manhunters
Base Attack: +44
Element: Ice
Stats: Attack +37, Ride +36, Musou Charge +38, Attack Range +35
Stage: Showdown at Mikatagahara
Requirements: Defeat all enemy officers personally while protecting all of your allies.
Recommended level: +35
All right. Requirements for this weapon are quite simple. However, Interim
save often because you don't want to start the stage from the beginning
just because your BG or ally happened to deal the finishing blow on enemy
officer. First head to northeast garrison, defeat Yoshinao Tokugawa and
Ietsugu Sakai there. Before heading out to western garrison, secure the two
strongholds near you. This is pretty important since you need to protect your
allies. Proceed to west garrison and slay Yorinobu Tokugawa there. Secure the
stronghold as well. Go back to central garrison and defeat Naotaka Ii along
with Musashi. Now that the central garrison is your main camp, head to
southwest corner and defeat Tadachika Okubo and Masanobu Honda. Don't enter to
Hamamatsu Castle yet. First secure all the remaining enemy stronholds. When
you have done that, lure Tadamasa Honda out of the castle and defeat him.
Interim save and enter the castle. Take out Hanzo immediately and go after Ina
in the north. Defeat her and hurry back to central garrison. Your allies are
probably struggling against Tadakatsu when you arrive there. He's hard to beat
(what a surprise...) and has two generals to help him. Try to do your best
and beat him as fast as you can since your allies are already struggling in
west garrison. Head there and slay Hidetada Tokugawa. If all of your allies
survived and you killed all enemy generals personally, the transport units
spawn in the northwest stronghold. Finish them off and steal the Japan from
Ieyasu.
------------------------------------------------------------
NO
Delicious Venom
Base Attack: +44
Element: Wind
Stats: Musou +38, Defense +36, Speed +37, Musou Charge +36
Stage: Incident at Honnoji
Requirements: Succeed in the mission 'Rescue Nobutada Oda'. Keep Nobutada alive until Ranmaru is killed without triggering the mission 'Assist Ranmaru'.
Recommended level: +35
Exit Honnoji through the west gate and kill Nobuharu Tsuda. Mitsuhide launches
the fire attack soon. Quickly head north towards Nijo Castle and defeat
Kaneaki Mimaki. Face Hidemitsu Akechi in the north which triggers the mission
to rescue Nobutada Oda. Defeat him to complete the mission. To ensure
Nobutada's safety, defeat Junkei Tsutsui and Shigetomo Akechi as well.
However, leave Sadaoki Ise alive. He should be able to keep Nobutada busy
without defeating him. Interim save now. Return to Nobunaga's location and
kill the officers near him. Finally Mitsuhide appears with reinforcements
and Ranmaru starts heading towards his location. Defeat all approaching
enemy officers and soldiers around Nobunaga. Before you go to Mitsuhide's
location, Interim save. If you get too close to him and Ranmaru, you unlock
the mission 'Assist Ranmaru'. Take distance from them and watch the fight
of the two. Ranmaru should die pretty quickly and Mitsuhide advances to
Honnoji. The transport units will appear in the west stronghold which is
southwest of Nijo Castle. Catch up with them and hurry back to Nobunaga to
save the day.
------------------------------------------------------------
HANZO HATTORI
Chained Dragon
Base Attack: +44
Element: Demon
Stats: Attack +39, Speed +36, Dexterity +34, Attack Range +38
Stage: Siege of Ueda Castle (Dream)
Requirements: Defeat all Kotaro doubles and Yukimura before defeating Masayuki Sanada.
Recommended level: +40
Take the hidden path in the west and proceed north. Defeat Tomonobu Saito and
Chikanori Suibara. Take Toishi Castle by defeating Yataro Onikojima. Kotaro
appears in the south but at the same time the Spy units appear in the east.
Stop them first to prevent the flood attack. Return to Kotaro and defeat him.
When you approach Ueda Castle, three Kotaro clones appear. First head south
and use the ninja route to reach the first Kotaro. Continue to southeast and
rescue Ieyasu by defeating all enemy officers around him. Go back to ninja
route and head to center. You'll find another Kotaro clone who is fightning
alongside Yukimura. Lure him away from Yukimura and defeat him. Now you can
try to defeat Yukimura himself. He's in super-hyper mode and extremely hard to
beat. If you happen to find Attack x2, you can flinch him with basic attacks.
Otherwise stun him with your R1+S attack and juggle him to death. Anyway, the
last Kotaro clone can be found inside the castle. Enter to castle and defeat
Nobuyuki Sanada. Proceed to underground main keep in the north to face the
last Kotaro. Defeat him and the valuable item appears just a bit north from
your location. Grab it and take control of Ueda Castle.
------------------------------------------------------------
RANMARU MORI
Iron Vengeance
Base Attack: +46
Element: Ice
Stats: Life +37, Defense +38, Speed +19, Musou Charge +37, Attack Range +14
Stage: Survival Mode - Keiji's Real Request
Requirements: Defeat Keiji Maeda in the mission 'Keiji's Real Request'. In order to unlock the mission, first you need to finish Mitsuhide Akechi's 3rd Request on floor 41 and then Keiji Maeda's 2nd Request on floor 31. When you have finished the missions, 'Keiji's Real Request' spawns on floor 46.
Recommended level: +35
You must reach the last floor in the mission 'Keiji's Real Request' to
fight against Keiji. On the first four floors, you need to defeat a certain
character(s) in order to advance:
1st floor - Katsuei Shibata
2nd floor - No
3rd floor - Oichi
4th floor - Hideyoshi and Nene
On the 5th floor your first task is to slay as many as enemies as you want to.
Defeat 100 and Keiji states that he wants to fight against you. At first,
he seems to be too easy but when his HP reaches critical he starts to fight
seriously. When this happens, his HP recovers back to max and he's in
super-hyper mode. He's now much harder to beat since normal attacks don't
stagger him. Once you have taken him down, he drops a weapon box which
contains the ultimate weapon. Grab the box and head upstairs.
------------------------------------------------------------
HIDEYOSHI TOYOTOMI
Simian Sansetsu
Base Attack: +42
Element: Lightning
Stats: Speed +60, Dexterity +40, Luck +60
Stage: Battle of Shizukatage
Requirements: Succeed in the mission 'Defeat Keiji Maeda'.
Recommended level: +25
This weapon is pretty simple to obtain. Only requirement is to succeed in
a certain mission but you need to do a couple of things before you can trigger
it. Defeat Yasumasa Sakuma first and proceed to first garrison in the north.
Beat Katsumitsu Fuwa there. Ignore the other garrison for now and head to
garrison where Toshiie Maeda is. First defeat Toshinaga Maeda in front of the
gate. Enter the garrison and convince Toshiie Maeda to retreat. Once Toshiie
has retreated, Keiji decides to move out but don't mind him yet. Morimasa
Sakuma has already advanced and is probably at your main camp. Defeat him and
Shogen Yamaji (who defected) first. Before facing Keiji, occupy the remaining
garrisons and Interim save. At first, you are told to ignore Keiji but keep
attacking him and when he has lost half of his HP you unlock the mission to
defeat him. Succeed in mission and the transport units appear in the garrison
where Toshiie was. Kill them before they escape with your weapon and defeat
Katsuie Shibata.
------------------------------------------------------------
TADAKATSU HONDA
Tonbo-giri
Base Attack +50
Element: Fire
Stats: Musou +15, Attack +37, Defense +53, Musou Charge +33
Stage: Tournament of Champions (Dream)
Requirements: Succeed in the missions 'Prevent Keiji/Musashi/Kojiro/Hanzo/Kotaro/Nene/Hideyoshi/Ieyasu/Masamune from entering the central/west/east garrison'.
Recommended level: +40
*The tips I gave for obtaining Kenshin's ultimate weapon apply here as well.
Let's start with good news: You're playing as Tadakatsu who is extremely
strong character and is able to annihilate enemies quickly. Then the bad
news... this is a Dream stage and you need to be really really fast if you
want to succeed in the requirements. Luck is also a big factor when trying to
obtain this weapon. That's why giving a detailed walkthrough is hard but I'll
try to do my best.
Your main goal is to prevent any of the unique characters from entering the
garrisons. The garrisons are located in the center, northwest and southeast.
The garrison where the enemy advances is always random. Because of this, you
should always Interim save before new group of officers appear. If they
happen to proceed towards wrong garrisons, you might not be able to stop them
in time. When this happens, you need to reset the game and keep trying until
all generals head to the garrisons where they are supposed to go in the first
place. Also, DEFEAT THE GENERALS AFTER THE MISSIONS APPEARS! If you defeat
even one of them before you are told to, you won't get the weapon. The
enterances of all three garrisons are protected by allied troops. Try to keep
them alive as long as possible since they stop the enemy generals from
entering the garrisons immediately. Say, if Hanzo advances to northwestern
garrison, of which enterance is guarded by allied troops and Nene is advancing
to southeastern garrison, of which enterance hasn't got a single soldier, it
certainly would be wise to go after Nene first. Anyway, I think I've said
enough. Here's the method for obtaining the weapon...
You start from the central garrison. The first three groups appear in random
order (my order was Miscreants, Swordsmen and Ninjas but it really doesn't
matter). Hope that Miscreants appear first since you only need to stop one of
them, Keiji. Head to his location in the southwest and defeat him. There are
four officers left, defeat three of them. Lure the last one to southwestern
corner and Interim save. Next group to appear are swordsmen or ninjas. Keep
reseting until swordsmen appear. This time you need to prevent two of them
from entering the garrisons, Musashi and Kojiro. If Musashi heads to
southeastern garrison, reset. Defeat Kojiro first and go after Musashi.
Again, leave one of the generic officers alive. Lure him near the northwestern
gate of central garrison and Interim save. Defeat him and ninjas appear. Your
targets are Kotaro, Hanzo and Nene. If Nene proceeds to southeastern garrison,
reset. Defeat Kotaro first because he's closest to you. Go after Hanzo (not
necessary if he decided to head to northwestern garrison) and take care of
Nene before she causes more damage to your army. You know the deal by now,
leave one of the generics alive. Lure him near the northwestern gate of
central garrison again. Interim save and defeat him. The final group to
appear are minor warlords. The generals who you want to prevent from entering
the garrisons are Masamune, Ieyasu and Hideyoshi. Reset the game if Hideyoshi
moves to southeastern garrison and Ieyasu doesn't advance west. These three
are in hyper mode so they are slightly tougher than previous generals. Beat up
Masamune right next to you and the approaching Ieyasu. Head towards
Hideyoshi's location and prevent his entry to garrison. The transport units
appear in the the stronghold south of central garrison's southern gate. The
pain is finally over and you can finish the stage by slaying the remaining
warlords.
Since obtaining this weapon depends so much about luck, my method always
doesn't work. It pretty much depends how many soldiers there are standing in
front of the gate where the enemy general is heading to.
------------------------------------------------------------
INA
Coiled Viper
Base Attack: +44
Element: Ice
Stats: Attack +17, Defense +33, Dexterity +16, Musou Charge +36, Attack Range +38
Stage: Siege of Odawara Castle
Requirements: Defeat all enemy generals personally.
Recommended level: Any
This weapon is simple and easy to obtain. If you want to have some
challenge, reset Ina and try this on Chaos. That's fun. Once again, using the Interim save often is useful because you fail to get the
weapon if your ally or BG steals the officer KO. Start out by defeating all
enemy troops near you. Hideyohi sends out the siege ramp soon. Defend it with
the help of your allies. If it gets destroyed, you're going to waste your
precious time. When the siege ramp is in place, defeat Naohide Matsuda
immediately. Don't bother with the generals in the center. Go to south first,
and defeat three generals there. Get back to center and deal with the two
other generals there. Charge through the bomb corridor and head to north gate.
Three more generals await you there. Kotaro is getting bored and orders three
generals to attack your main camp. Return there and finish them off. Now you
should head to southeast where the storehouse is located. You are ambushed by
Ujitada Hojo and Yasuhiro Ogasawara in the storehouse. Defeat them and advance
north. The doors close and ninjas ambush you. You need to defeat 100 opponents
in order to advance. Keep going north to find two more generals who are
fightning against Date army. Take care of them and finally it's time to head
into Odawara Castle. Once inside the castle proceed east where bomb corridor
is being guarded by two generals. Kill them as well and head upstairs. Only
one more to go and that's Kotaro who ambushes you. Defeat him and the
transport units appear right next to Hideyoshi. They're far away so you'd
better hurry if you don't want to lose your weapon. Finish the stage by
defeating Ujiyasu and Ujimasa Hojo.
------------------------------------------------------------
IEYASU TOKUGAWA
Quake Maker
Base Attack: +48
Element: Fire
Stats: Musou +17, Attack +35, Defense +38, Speed +36, Luck +19
Stage: Battle of Sekigahara
Requirements: Defeat all enemy generals personally.
Recommended level: +35
Same requirements as for Ina's weapon but this time you don't need to
rush so much. Also, you only need to protect yourself and the main camp. So
don't worry about your allies. Go after Hiroie Kikkawa and Hidemoto Mori
first. Note that if you defeat Ekei Ankokuji before them they defect and
that's isn't allowed to happen. Your next target is Ekei who is in the south.
Head to center of the battlefield and slay all generals there (Hideie Ukita,
Teruzumi Akashi Shigemasa Toda, Tamaehiro Hiratsuka, Yoshitsugu Otani,
Yukinaga Konishi, Satoie Gamo). Ginchiyo has already atttcked your main camp
so get back there and kill her as well. In order to defeat Hideaki Kobayakawa,
Magobei Fuse must die. It may take some time but lure him to fight against
Masaie Natsuka and wait. Eventually Magobei will be killed and Hideaki comes
out of his garrison. Mitsunari orders Western army to attack and they all move
to frontlines. Now all you need to do is to slay remaining generals and the
transport units appear in the northwestern stronghold. Grab the weapon and kill
Mitsunari.
------------------------------------------------------------
MITSUNARI ISHIDA
Golden Frill
Base Attack: +45
Element: Ice
Stats: Musou +36, Defense +38, Musou Charge +33, Range +37
Stage: Edo Campaign (Dream)
Requirements: Succeed in the missions 'Rescue Hideie Ukita', 'Open Edo
Castle's east gate', 'Defeat the traitors quickly', 'Defeat all
enemies within the castle', 'Protect Ekei Ankokuji' and 'Prevent
Kotaro Fuma from entering the main camp'. Finally, enter to Edo
Castle from the north enterance.
Recommended level: +40
You start from the northeast corner. Head to north gate of Edo Castle
first and defeat Naotaka Ii. Hideie Ukita is lured to castle and
ambushed by Masamune's rifle units. Wait until you get the mission to
rescue him and defeat Shigenaga Katakura. Go to northwest corner of the
castle courtyard, secure the stronghold and defeat Masanobu Honda there.
Exit from the north gate and head to east side of Edo Castle. Your next
mission is to open east gate of Edo Castle, which is guarded by Yoshiaki
Mogami. When the gate opens, Kobayakawa (surprise, surprise), Mori and
Kikkawa defect to Eastern Army and you find out Ekei Ankokuji was
captured (you need to rescue him later). Your mission is to defeat these three before your allies lose hope. Take out Kobayakawa who is right next to you, go south and defeat Hidemoto Mori, along with Nagachika
Kanamori. Only Hiroie Kikkawa remains, who is at west gate with Terumasa
Ikeda. When you have punished all traitors, return back to east gate of
Edo Castle (because Ieyasu locked all other gates) and before you enter
to courtyard, make sure you have secured all the strongholds outside.
Once you have entered to courtyard, your mission is to destroy all
officers within that area. Mitsunari also comments that Ekei is held
somewhere inside the castle. But first, head to north and you find
Yasumasa Sakakibara. Defeat him and secure the stronghold. Open the
northern inner gate by defeating Defense Captain. Head back to south and defeat Ietsugu Sakai. Cross the bridge and you'll find Takatora Todo, defeat him as well. There's Defense Captain close to you. You'll find
Ekei Ankokuji from the gate behind him and he needs to be escorted back
to Toyotomi main camp. Ieyasu's ninja officer Toranosuke Aoyama appears.
Defeat him to protect Ekei. Open Edo Castle's south gate, defeat
Shigezane Date and Ekei should be able to reach the main camp by
himself. Proceed to the west side of courtyard, open the western gate,
secure the stronghold and annihilate Naomasa Ii. Kotaro appears in north
and heads toward Hideyori (did you really think he was defeated in
Odawara?). Exit from Edo Castle's west gate and when you approach Kotaro
you need to prevent him from reaching your main camp. Complete this last
mission and finally it's time to head inside the Edo Castle.
Now pay attention: YOU MUST ENTER TO EDO CASTLE FROM NORTH ENTERANCE and
keep going until a fence blocks your path. Soon Ekei says: "If I
remember correctly, the main keep is connected to another keep, smaller
keep." After this quote, you get the valuable item report. It's on the
bridge, which connects inner and main keep. Destroy Hideyasu Yuki and
Hidetada Tokugawa before you head to smaller keep. Now all you need to
do is to defeat remaining enemy officers (Hidemune Date, Masamune and
Tadakatsu) and collect your valuable item (you can't miss it) before
killing Ieyasu Tokugawa.
*The method for obtaining this weapon is from my Mitsunari FAQ which was
published in GameFAQs a while ago. So don't be amazed if you think this
section is more detailed than others.
------------------------------------------------------------
NAGAMASA AZAI
King's Honor
Base Attack: +45
Element: Lightning
Stats: Attack +35, Defense +17, Horse +35, Musou Charge +56
Stage: Defense of Odani Castle
Requirements: Succeed in missions 'Defeat all enemy officers at Mt. Jizo',
'Prevent Hideyoshi from entering the Inner Ward' and 'Defend the
Kingo Ward'. Keep most of your allies alive and get rid of
all enemy generals except Nobutada Oda and No. Complete the
requirements within 10 minutes and wait for Nagamasa to order
full assault.
Recommended level: +25
This is easy weapon to obtain since it's ok if you don't get all officer KOs.
Just concentrate on keeping your allies alive and completing the missions.
You start from the northeast corner. Go west and defeat the first two officers
you encounter, Saizo Kani and Hidemasa Hori. Keep going west and enter the
garrison. Complete the first mission by defeating the two officers there.
Exit Mt. Jizo from the south enterance and you'll face Ranmaru and Ujisato
Gamo. Defeat them and Mitsuhide who appeared right next to you. Hurry to
central garrison which Hideyoshi blew up and prevent his entry to Inner Ward.
Defeat three Oda officers who ambushed you when you entered the garrison. Now
head to Kingo Ward in the southeast and rescue Tsunachika Kaiho from Katsuie
Shibata. Proceed westwards and defeat Kazumasa Takigawa and Narimasa Sassa.
Return to north and you'll find the last two Oda officers, Toshiie Maeda and
Tsuneoki Ikeda. Assuming you did everything within 10 minutes, the transport
units appear in the west stronghold south of Mt.Jizo. Catch up with them and
slay Nobunaga in the name of honor... I guess.
------------------------------------------------------------
SAKON SHIMA
Wrecking Blade
Base Attack: 46
Element: Wind
Stats: Life +18, Attack +36, Defense +37, Musou Charge +34, Attack Range +12
Stage: Battle of Sekigahara
Requirements: Defeat all enemy generals perosnally while keeping all of your
allies alive.
Recommended level: +35
It's important to remember that you don't need to protect or kill the
defecting units (Kikkawa, Mori and Kobayakawa). However, it's
recommended that you kill them in case they defect. Start by
defeating the two closest enemy generals, Nagamasa Kuroda and
Sadatsugu Tsutsui. Once you have defeated them take out Eastern
Army's cannons. With cannons captured, your allies have better
chances against enemy. Before Magobei Fuse shows up, defeat as
many enemy generals in center as you can (Takatora Todo,
Yoshiaki Kato, Masanori Fukushima and Yoshimasa Tanaka).
Tokugawa sends his 2nd wave, but you can ignore it for now. When
Magobei Fuse appears, go after him immediately (otherwise
Kobayakawa defects and this really lowers your morale). Now head
to northeast garrison, where Ankokuji, Kikkawa and Mori are.
There you have plenty of generals to defeat: Yoshinaga Asano,
Terumasa Ikeda, Kazutoyo Yamanouchi and Hanzo Hattori who is
heading towards you. However, before you go to help Ekei, Interim save.
If you get too near the garrison, Mori and Kikkawa defect. Try to hit
the enemy generals at least once, so that they start to follow you and
lure them away from the garrison. Defeat all 4 officers and seal the
stronghold in the north to ensure Ekei Ankokuji's safety. Ekei should be able
to care of himself now. Your next goal is to defeat rest of the enemy generals
in the center or try to prevent Ina from reaching your main camp (but it
doesn't matter if she reaches there).
With Ina and enemy generals in the center being defeated, head to Ginchiyo's
location. There you should find Tadaoki Hosokawa. Defeat him and only
Tadakatsu Honda remains. If Tadakatsu is surrounded by your allies, Interim
Save to make sure that he doesn't kill any of your allies and you deal the
final blow on him. Transport units should appear soon if you defeated all
enemy generals personally and your all allies survived. Go get your weapon
and finish the stage by defeating Ieyasu Tokugawa.
*This method is also from a FAQ I made for GameFAQs.

YOSHIHIRO SHIMAZU
Beast Crusher
Base Attack: +48
Element: Wind
Stats: Attack +34, Defense +35, Speed +54, Musou Charge +18
Stage: Struggle at Sekigahara
Requirements: Succeed in the missions 'Rescue Mitsunari Ishida', 'Prevent Hanzo
Hattori from entering the main camp', 'Rescue Sakon Shima',
'Rescue Ginchiyo Tachibana', 'Destroy the Eastern Army
reinforcements' and defeat all enemy generals personally.
Recommended level: +30
You can't afford to lose any of your allies so fast horse is extremely useful
in this stage. You also need to slay all generals personally so once again
saving often is recommended. You start from the center and you should note
there are 5 enemy officers around you (Masanori Fukushima, Yoshinaga Asano,
Tadayoshi Matsudaira, Sadatsugu Tsutsui and Yoshiaki Kato). Defeat all of them
and then proceed to southwest where Mitsunari is. Rescue Mitsunari by
defeating the three officers surrounding him. Head to Sakon's location. When
Yoshihiro mentions that Sakon is being surrounded, the gates of the south
garrison open and Hanzo is told to attack Mitsunari. Catch up with Hanzo
before he reaches the main camp and defeat him. Ride back to Sakon's location
and kill the three enemy officers. This time Ieyasu sends out Tadakatsu.
Proceed north from your current position and engage with Tadakatsu. He's a
tough guy to beat like always so be prepared. Last ally who you need to rescue
is Ginchiyo in the northwest garrison. Charge through the enemy ranks and
smash the skulls of the three officers near her. However, Ina is still left
from Tokugawa generals and she's send after Gicnhiyo. Smash her skull as well
and return to center with Ginchiyo. Soon Hidetada Tokugawa arrives with
reinforcements to aid Tokugawa army. Destroy all officers (there are 8 in
total) and if you have done everything right, the transport units appear in
the northwestern stronghold. Hammer them and crush Ieyasu's helmet to win the
battle.
------------------------------------------------------------
GINCHIYO TACHIBANA
Heaven's Bite
Base Attack: +44
Element: Lightning
Stats: Life +18, Musou +18, Attack +20, Defense +17, Speed +18, Luck +19, Musou Charge +20, Range +17
Stage: Conquest for Kyushu
Requirements: First defeat three Shimazu brothers: Iehisa, Yoshihiro and
Toshihisa. And when you enter to Shimazu HQ, defeat them in
order: Iehisa, Toshihisa and Yoshihiro.
Recommended level: Any
This is one of the easiest weapons to obtain in game, no doubt about that.
Cross the bridge and defeat Iehisa Shimazu immediately. Take out Nobumitsu
Sarawatari as well (and Tadamoto Niiro if he appeared). Head to garrison in
the east, defeat Arinobu Yamada and Tadanaga Shimazu. Proceed to Tsuruga
Castle in the south and defeat Yoshihiro. Exit Tsuruga Castle from the eastern
enterance and you are ambushed by Toshihisa Shimazu, Hisatora Ei and Tadatsune
Shimazu. Defeat all three and attack the Shimazu HQ. Yoshihiro, Iehisa and
Toshihisa ambush you. First you must defeat Iehisa, then Toshihisa and lastly
Yoshihiro. If you did everything right the transport units appear north of
Tsuruga Castle. Grab your weapon, give a hand to your allies and defeat the
last member of Shimazu clan, Yoshihisa.
------------------------------------------------------------
KANETSUGU NAOE
Evil's Bane
Base Attack: +45
Element: Fire
Stats: Musou +56, Defense +38, Musou Charge +51
Stage: Last Stand Against Ieyasu (Dream)
Requirements: Defeat Masamune, Hanzo, Ina and Tadakatsu personally without
losing a single ally.
Recommended level: +40
Dream stage... and not easy one either. 3rd weapon with high attack boost is a
great help here. You start from the northwest garrison and are immediately
surrounded by enemy. Defeat Chikayoshi Hiraiwa and Tadasuke Okubo who are
approaching from east and Nobumasa Okudaira in the west. Ieyasu has by now set
up camp at Zenkoji and Kagekatsu Uesugi along with Keiji appears in the
northeast corner. Unfortunetly, they are ambushed by Date generals. Defeat
Katakura Kojuro and Masakage Rusu near Kagekatsu. Head to Keiji's location and
help him to beat Masanari Naito. Masamune himself has arrived and attacks
Kagekatsu. Rescue him by killing Masamune and Shigezane Date. Return to Kaizu
Castle and defeat the remaining generals there. More Tokugawa reinforcements
appear. Advance southwest from Kaizu Castle and enter the garrison where
Tadakatsu is. Slay him and Kazutoyo Yamanouchi. Now head to center garrison
where Hanzo is. Defeat him as fast as you can (ignore other generals) and head
to south garrison. Kill Ina and if all of your allies are still alive, the
transport units appear in the north stronghold just north of the central
garrison. Get the weapon quickly and finish the stage.
------------------------------------------------------------
NENE
Devil Feathers
Base Attack: +42
Element: Ice
Stats: Defense +37, Speed +38, Luck +38, Range +36
Stage: Battle of Komagi-Nagakute
Requirements: Succeed in the missions 'Rescue the detached unit', 'Defeat
Yasumasa Sakakibara and seize control of Iwasaki Castle',
'Prevent Hanzo Hattori from entering the main camp' and 'Protect
Iwasaki Castle from Tadakatsu Honda and Ina'.
Recommended level: +25
Start by taking out Nobumasa Okudaira. Proceed to southeast immediately
because the detached units gets into trouble pretty soon and only lasts couple
of seconds. Rescue them from Tokugawa officers and then capture Iwasaki
Castle. Soon Hanzo appears in the north but at the same time Tadakatsu and Ina
attack Iwasaki Castle. First you should go after Hanzo. Head back to center
battlefield and take the ninja route to reach him. Defeat him quickly and
return to Iwasaki. Tadakatsu and Ina are a formidable pair but with the help
of your allies you should be able to take care of them. Once you have
completed the last mission, transport units appear in the west stronghold
located in the center battlefield. Don't let them get away and finish the
stage normally.
------------------------------------------------------------
KOTARO FUMA
Thorns of Peril
Base Attack: +45
Element: Demon
Stats: Life +18, Attack +37, Speed +38, Dexterity +17, Musou Charge +33
Stage: Defense of Odawara Castle (Dream)
Requirements: Complete the missions 'Destroy the Siege Ramp', 'Defend the
enterance of Odawara Castle, 'Protect Yasuhiro Ogasawara',
'Rescue Ujiteru Hojo', 'Prevent the destruction
of the main keep' and 'Rescue Ujimasa Hojo' (order doesn't
matter)
Recommended level: +35
The difficulty for obtaining this weapon is overrated in my opinion. Kotaro is
fast and strong character so it really isn't that hard to obtain this weapon
under level 40. All you need is a strong 3rd weapon with Attack boost and
possibly Awakening 3 skill. But let's get to the point...
Jump over the wall, proceed north and defeat the first general you encounter,
Yoshitaka Kuki. Wait for the siege ramp to appear and destroy it when the
mission to do so pops up on the screen. Head to enterance of the Odawara
Castle and succeed in the mission by defeating the two enemy officers. Keep
going north and rescue Ujiteru Hojo from the three Toyotomi officers. Go all
the way back to south and then west. Yasuhiro Ogasawara desperetly needs your
help in the southwest garrison. Defeat Hideie Ukita and Terumasa Ikeda but try
to avoid killing soldiers. Your next mission is to escort Ogasawara back to
castle but don't do this mission yet. Just make sure enemy soldiers keep him
busy. You, however, should hurry back to Odawara because your leader doesn't
last long against Nene. The enterance gate of the castle is still locked so
head back to ninja route. Ignore the Tokugawa officers in the courtyard. You
can deal with them later. Before you enter the castle, Interim save. Next
thing you need to do is to prevent the destruction of the main keep. However,
the location of explosive kegs and fire ninjas is always random. Find them all
quickly (reset if it takes too long time) and rescue Ujimasa from Nene. Ieyasu
and his army are still a problem. So defeat them to succeed in the mission
'Rescue Ujimasa Hojo'. Ogasawara may have entered the south garrison already
and is fightning against Sakon. Head back to his location (use the ninja route
again to exit the courtyard), defeat Sakon and escort Ogasawara back to
castle. If you succeed in all missions, the valuable item appears on the first
floor of Odawara Castle. Grab the weapon and show Hideyoshi that it's not wise
to mess up with "Chaos".
------------------------------------------------------------
MUSASHI MIYAMOTO
Mastery & Vision
Base Attack: +48
Element: Demon
Stats: Attack +48, Musou Charge +35, Range +50
Stage: Chaos in Kyoto
Requirements: Succeed in the mission 'Prevent Ieyasu Tokugawa from escaping'.
Recommended level: +20
I don't think you're going to have hard time with this weapon. The
requirements are simple and you're playing as Musashi who is one of the
strongest characters in game. You start from the center of the map, near the alley and Ieyasu is in the
northwest corner and moves east. He actually escapes pretty quickly if you
don't go after him immediately. Head east from your position and proceed
north. When you catch up with Ieyasu, he should be about halfway. He has one
officer to aid him, Yoshinao Tokugawa. Get rid of him first. Although you are
surrounded by enemy troops and Ieyasu is in hyper-mode, he's still quite easy
to beat. Once you have defeated Ieyasu, the transport units come out from the
east gate. Grab the weapon and protect Hideyori in order to finish the stage.
