Introduction ** ** ** ********************* ********************* Samurai Warriors is a combat game where you take on the role of a warrior in Japan. This game is very similar to the Dynasty Warriors series. Your warrior belongs to what is called a Daimyo Clan and fights for that clan to unify Japan. You will start with the option of only 5 characters, but as you play new characters will be unlocked. ****************************************** ****************************************** ** ** ** 2. Story Mode Character Walkthroughs ** ** ** ****************************************** ****************************************** In Story Mode you will fight as your selected character and follow their story. 2-player co-op is also available in this mode. Each character has a different story. I will first lay out the character and some information on them and then I will proceed with their stages. The stages are pretty straightforward. I only list their stages, the current story behind them, the battle conditions, how to proceed through both paths where their story branches off, and what you can unlock through completing a certain stage. I will also refer to some missions for certain requirements. Refer to the "Mission" sections for more details on that mission. The way the characters are listed is in the order you would unlock them if you played straight down the character select line. (Except for Masamune who I put after Magoichi since they are both unlocked after 1 and 2 completed story modes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- -A.

Completing this stage unlocks the New Officer's Tokugawa Ending. ****************** ****************** ** ** ** 3. Free Mode ** ** ** ****************** ****************** In Free Mode you can select any stage to play. You can only select those already cleared in Story Mode. 2-player co-op is available in this mode as well. You can complete most missions, and obtain most items and weapons n Free Mode, though I prefer doing all that in Story Mode. Refer to the Story Mode section for each stage. ********************** ********************** ** ** ** 4. Survival Mode ** ** ** ********************** ********************** In Survival Mode you play through an indoor castle stage and attempt to set records for floors cleared, KOs, etc. Due to the Auto Formation System, the stage maps will change each time you play. There are 2 courses in Survival Mode. Abyss- Head down to the depths of the earth, where a mystery character awaits. Tower- Attempt to clear as many floors as possible within the time given. These are the Survival Mode Rules. - Difficulty cannot be selected. - The time limit for Abyss is 60 minutes and 20 minutes for Tower. (Time can be increased by accomplishing different missions given to you on different floors.) - When your life meter reaches 0 the game is over. - Any acquired weapons/items can be used in the other modes. - There is a rest period every 3 floors where your life meter is restored and you can save the game. It is a good idea to have the Lantern equipped so you can see the layout of each floor. And unequip any saddles since they won't help at all in Survival Mode. **************** **************** ** ** ** 5. VS Mode ** ** ** **************** **************** In VS Mode you go against another player or the computer. There are three VS Mode stages, each with their own victory conditions. Showdown- Eliminate the entire enemy army Pursuit- Be the first to capture Goemon Strike- Be the first to defeat 1000 enemies *********************** *********************** ** ** ** 6. Challenge Mode ** ** ** *********************** *********************** In Challenge Mode you do the training exercises in New Officer Mode and try to set the record for them. There are 7 exercises. Melee- Defeat as many enemies as you can Musou- Defeat enemies using only the Musou Attack Combo- Execute the longest combo attack possible Archery- Defeat oncoming enemies using Ranged Attacks Deflect- Defeat enemies by deflecting arrows onto them Burst- Reach the destination point as quickly as possible Riding- Tear through the racecourse on your steed ------ -Tips- ------ ------- -Melee- ------- Keep hacking and slashing away. Whenever you fill your Musou Gauge and there is a substantial amount of enemies around, use your Musou. You can refill it pretty quick and most Strike Ninjas will drop a Hannya so your Life and Musou will be refilled and you can repeat. ------- -Musou- ------- Don't waste anytime. After each time you use your Musou almost immediately pick up another Musou Sake and use it again. ------- -Combo- ------- If you don't have a weapon where you can get a lot of attacks on at once or are having difficulty, then use your third charge attack to daze the enemy and continue attacking while they are dazed for a combo. --------- -Archery- --------- Early on, after you shoot one of the approaching enemies, aim your bow over to another spot where an enemy will appear so you'll have an easy time locking onto them. And later on when multiple enemies start appearing, don't bother trying to get perfect aim, you'll kill them even if you hit their foot. Just move the bow around and shoot as soon as an enemy is in the way. --------- -Deflect- --------- Time your attacks carefully. Block for a while if you need to get a feel for the speed of the arrows. When your life goes down keep blocking and unleashing a Musou to hit all oncoming arrows. Be cautious about musketeers as you cannot deflect bullets. ------- -Burst- ------- The map for Burst is always the same and it mimics one of the floors on Osaka Castle. Don't bother fighting any enemies as that wastes time. Just run through and avoid their attacks. Once you find a suitable route to take, continue with that same route each time you do this. I myself prefer taking the left and moving up from there. -------- -Riding- -------- Jump over the barricades or go around them. When there is a group of enemies in front of, jump into them, but don't go out of your way to do so. When you get to the point where you are locked in that area, get off your horse to kill the enemies if you need to. Be careful of the mines, but they shouldn't pose much of a problem, but don't get too close to them. ************************* ************************* ** ** ** 7. New Officer Mode ** ** ** ************************* ************************* In New Officer Mode you train a created character to use in the other modes. When you select New Officer Mode you need to choose a slot, a face, and a name for your officer. If you select an already made officer you will create a new officer in their place. You will now do the training exercises from challenge mode to build up your character's stats. Your health is not restored after each exercise so you will need to rest which takes up a month of your training. There are also various events that may occur throughout your training. For most exercises you will choose to use either a sword, spear, or naginata. Whichever one you use will boost your skills with it and will also make it your weapon when you are done. Be aware of Dokkimaru. Sometimes when you rest he will interrupt you and force you to take part in a random training exercise and your life will not be replenished. After the 12 months you will choose a Daimyo Clan to serve. Each Daimyo Clan requires you to do two more training exercises for them and you will be scored on how well you do. You need a score of 100 or higher to pass their test. If you fail, you do not get another chance and have to go through the training all over again. Each clan has an intermediate and an advanced exercise. The intermediate is first and easier and the advanced is second and harder. These are the Daimyo Clans and what exercise they have you do. The first one listed will be the intermediate one and the second will be the advanced one. Oda- Melee+Musou Takeda- Blast+Riding Uesugi- Riding+Melee Tokugawa- Deflect+Blast Date- Musou+Combo Honganji- Deflect+Musou Azai- Archery+Deflect Imagawa- Combo+Archery Hojo- Blast+Melee New Officers can be used in all other modes and they have their own story in Story Mode. If you have a combined attack and defense of 90 or higher with any weapon by the fourth month a strike ninja of some sort will challenge you. Defeat him using your Musou to unlock a new face model for your new officers. There are 4 new face models. *************** *************** ** ** ** 8. Battle ** ** ** *************** *************** The combat is basically the whole game. So this section will have its controls, aspects, and tips. First off, in battle the face in the bottom left corner of the screen is your character. The blue bar sticking out of it is your Life Meter. When it reaches 0 you are defeated and will result in a Game Over. The bar under it is you Musou Gauge. When this bar is full you can perform a Musou Attack. These two will increase with your character's experience. The number in the bottom right corner is your number of KOs. People will commend you every interval of 50. In the top right corner is the stage map. The top left corner displays the amount of life and troop class of an enemy you are fighting. ----------------- -Battle Controls- ----------------- ---------- -Movement- ---------- Move- Left analog stick or directional pad Move character Shift Move- L1 button + Left analog stick Move while always facing forward.

Once it is full, both can use Musou Attack. To fill the gauge- -Player deals damage to enemy -Enemy deals damage to player -Player's Life Meter turns red -O button is held down -Pick up Musou Sake or Hannya Musou Attack- O button Unleash an incredibly powerful attack, unique to each character. You will continue the attack until the Musou Gauge is depleted. When mounted, the horse's speed and power increase. True Musou Attack- O button when Life Meter is red The ultimate attack.

Double Musou Attack- O button under special conditions A powerful Musou Attack between 2 players. When 2 players are within a certain distance, and both initiate a Musuo Attack, it becomes a Double Musou Attack. Can only be used in 2-player co-op mode. --------- -Defense- --------- Guard- L1 button Guards against frontal attacks. You will continue to guard as long as the L1 button is held down. -You can guard against ranged attacks. -You can guard while mounted on a steed. -You can move while guarding. -If the enemy's attack ability is greater than the player's defense abilty, the enmy might break your guard and cause you to stagger.

If successful, the character will land on his/her feet and be ready to attack. This does not work with some enemy attacks. -"Grace" skill causes an automatic somersault.

Repeatedly press the aforementioned buttons to recover quicker. -"Resilience" skill negates this effect. Deadlocks- Repeatedly press the Square button When two characters attack each other at the same time or perform a Musou at the same time a deadlock will occur. Repeatedly press Square to try and win. If you win, the enemy will stagger and be open for an attack. If you lose, you will stagger and be open for an attack and also lose your Musou. If you completely fill the Deadlock Gauge, a Deadlock Bonus Attack will occur. -"Pressure" skill increase Deadlock Bonus Attack power. -"Vigor" skill allows Deadlocks to be won easier. ------------------- -Elemental Attacks- ------------------- If your weapon has an elemental effect, Elemental Attacks can be performed. There are other requirements to perform elemental attacks. -You must have the appropiate skill for each elemental attack. -Your Musou Gauge must be full. There are four different elemental effects. -Fire- Red- Slowly burns the enemy. -Ice- Blue- Freezes the enemy giving you a free attack. -Lightning- Yellow- Greatly damages the enemy. -Dark- Purple- Enemy is drained of life which is added to you. -------------- -Battlefields- -------------- There are three types of battlefields. Field- The standard battlefield. Where two or three armies meet. Castle- One or two characters enters an enemy castle alone. Siege- Starts out as a Field, but then turns into a Castle. -------------------- -More About Castles- -------------------- Castles are a bit harder since only your character enters the castle, you have no troops with you. Each level is like a maze. You have to find the right way to get to the exit, indicated by a blue dot on the map. Each castle level is, however, infested with enemy troops. They have their gates, but no Reserve Captains so they will keep coming. Castles also have many traps, like exploding barrels, hidden blades, barricades, etc. You should be able to avoid them as they have some warning to them. You will also rarely find any life recovery items in the castle and you'll probably only find them when you don't really need them. So don't spend too much time fighting unles you are skilled or confident you can do well. You won't have any bodyguards for castle stages. Castles also have treasures like items or weapons. The stage castle levels are the same, so try and remember how you reached the exit for when you replay the level. The Survival Mode castle levels change. ------------ -Bodyguards- ------------ During battle you can have up to 4 bodyguards to help you out during Field stages. There are 3 different sets of bodyguards to use, 4 guards in each set. 3 sets are already created for you, but you can create your own in the Options menu. There are 6 bodyguard classes. Infantry Spear Ninja Archer Musket Lady Ninja You can name the bodyguard unit and each member name. You can use up to 8 spaces for lettering. You can change the bodyguard classes, but doing this resets their rank, experience, class, title, and abilities. Bodyguards receive experience at the end of each stage, like officers. Their experience is determined by how many KOs they have and how many survived. ------------- -Battle Tips- ------------- There are usually 5 soldiers in each unit. Taking out their leader makes the rest retreat. For example, in an archer unit, when you take out the head archer, the others will escape to the nearest gate. This is useful for clearing armies, but don't bother if you're looking for KOs. The most annoying thing about fighting an officer is when his/her troops attack you and he/she charges his/her Musou and gets full life. To avoid this, either lure the officer away or knock him out of his/her group and attack him/her alone. Take out the Reserve Captains. That stops enemy reinforcements from that gate and makes it your own for reinforcements. Use your Musou only when there are a substantial amount of people around you or when in dire need of Life. Strike Ninjas, Sky Ninjas, Wind Ninjas, and Fire Ninjas are quite annoying as they can knock you away, take out a chunk of your Life, or interrupt almost any of your attacks. Get them out of the way before attacking the other troops. Don't just go straight for the enemy commander. Defeat the other officers first for more experience. Also defeat the officers' underling officers before their commander or else they will retreat. Unless your character is fast, equip a saddle or mount a steed to travel long distances quickly. Castle stages can be annoying at times since you hardly ever find Life and when you do you probably don't even need it. If you just want to clear the stage go straight for the exit. Equip the Lantern, Guiding Doll, and Hachiman Bell to help you in Castle stages. Try to get a full Life Meter before defeating the enemy commander in a siege battle. *************** *************** ** ** ** 9. Skills ** ** ** *************** *************** The skills add extra effects to an officer's abilities or just a new ability. Right now the skills will only be listed in a skill chart. When you see one of these, >, That means you need to have the skill before it to get the next one. You can get each skill 3 times except the ones marked with an asterik, *. After each stage you clear, you will get a number of skill points relating to your experience. These skill points are used to learn a skill. Once an officer's experience is maxed out, 999999, you cannot get any more skill points to get more skills. However, you can reset you character's stats and everything from the Options menu and start over to try for better skill development. I suggest you get Mastery and Parry for each character. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- -A.

Weapons ** ** ** ***************** ***************** Each character has 5 different weapons. You can only have 3 in use and you can only equip one. The Attacks is how many attacks you can perform at once and the Base Attack is the attack rating of the weapon. I will show all the weapons for each character and created characters as well. The first weapon is their starting weapon, the third is their actual weapon, and the fifth is their special weapon. Weapons can also have other modifiers to them such as Defense+4 or Speed+8. When you find weapons throughout the stages keep the ones with better modifiers. Play on hard or equip the Kappa Amulet for better weapons. They can also have elemental modifiers. These will deal elemental damage using the combination for one of your elemental skills and if you have a full Musou. Sometimes I may say to complete a certain mission. For more information on those, refer to the "Missions" section. Weapons can be obtained in either Story or Free Mode. Keep in mind you must play on the Hard or Chaos difficulty to obtain 5th weapons and you must play with the character the weapon is for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- -A.

I suggest doing these missions first: luring the two generals in front of the cannons, destroying the enemy cannons, returning to home base, and preventing Masamune Date from entering the castle. Then when it says to charge into the enemies main camp, use this time to kill as many enemy generals as you can and work towards your 1000 kills. When you reach 1000 kills, a supply team will show up near the southwest of the map and head for the gate east of the castle.

Douji-Kiri Attacks- 8 Base Attack- 46 Fire Element Musou+47 Attack+44 Defense+38 Attack Range+46 The legendary blade that took the head of the demon Shuten-Douji. This is a very tricky weapon to get. Basically you'll have to have Keiji Maeda slay Nobufusa Baba, but it is not that easy. Here's a little guide made by JZaber. This is a very in depth way of obtaining this weapon and try this and it should work. Having the Matsukaze Saddle equipped will be a big help to you. 1) Ok! Now start racing for Nagashino right away, once you get there, quickly kill the general and gate captain. The quickest way, use the C4 attack to do serious damage and take them out. 2) Good, now get back on your horse, and race towards Nobufusa's position. The quickest way is to take the first open gate when you enter the main camp, it'll be right in front of you. Get as close to Nobufusa's position as possible. A cutscene will occur. 3) Ok, here's where the chaos begins. Now, there are 3 generals you need to kill quickly, Nagahide Niwa, Toshiie Meada, and Kazumasu Takigawa. Takigawa should be close since your heading for Nobufusa's position. Now quickly kill Kazumasu and any musket units nearby. Killing the captain makes all 4 regulars go away. 4) Ok, now head for Toshiie's position. He'll be close, so kill him quickly and then head for Nagahide's position. At this point Katsuyori might say something. Don't waste time here, kill Nagahide quickly while the speech is still going. 5) I recommend you save here. Now Katsuie Shibata is your next concern. Head for his position, killing any troops around Nobufusa as you go. (Trust me, he'll die if you leave him with 1 peon troop.) Kill the gate captain near Katsuie to stop the flow of enemies near Nobufusa, now knock Katsuie off his horse and kill him quickly. 6) Now, either during or after you kill or are killing Katsuie, an ambush group will ambush Katsuyori. Get back to your horse and mount him quickly. Now head for Ieyasu Tokugawa's position, you'll see why. Knock him off his horse and kill him quickly and kill the gate captain near him if you like. Now get back on your horse! 7) Save here. Now race towards Nobufusa's position and kill any leftover enemies near him, shouldn't be too many at this point. Now bolt to Katsuyori's position. Help him out and kill a couple of the troops inside. Your biggest concern right now is Mitsuhide Akechi, he's the only dangerous general at this point. Kill him and resume killing normal troops. Sometimes the gates in the back are sealed, so kill the 2 gate captains if they are. 8) We're near the finish line! By now Hanzo should have reached Nagashino. Now, you have to be quick here, either go by foot or on horse, but get to Nagashino and kill Hanzo, then head back to Katsuyori. Save here. Here comes the tricky part. 9) Ok, now head for Keiji. Hit him ONCE so he'll follow you. He should have at least more than or half his health. Get him to follow you to Nobufusa's position, on foot or horse it don't matter. Keep close to Keiji as you go, get too far and he'll start to head back. Lead him past any other generals and to Nobufusa. If Nobufusa is on his horse this'll be easy, either way, get close to Nobufusa and stop. Keiji will smack Nobu and you with his spear. This is good. Now Nobu will fight Keiji. Now, get out of the way! 10) This is it, the last hurrah! Head back to Keiji and Nobufusa's position. They should be engaged in combat. Don't get involved unless Keiji looks to be losing. Keiji should slay Nobu. This is good, you'll get a message "Nobufusa Baba has been slain!" "Reports show he died bravely defending the flank!" Keiji should now say "A true warrior's death. I wish I could go that beautifully one day." All this time you should be moving back to Katsuyori's position. 11) If all was done right, and if Katsuyori is out of danger, the supply team should appear. They will us the same path Hanzo used to reach Nagashino. It's a slim path next to the main camp. Now race to their position, horse is faster. Kill the supply captain, and you now have your Douji-Kiri! Save here I guess. Katsuyori should be retreating to the south, you can go defend him just in case you want to see this operation safe to the end. Once he retreats, you clear the stage and get your Douji-Kiri! -Spear- Spear Attacks- 4 Base Attack- 15 A standard battle spear.
