In Warriors Orochi 2, he leaves Shu to test himself and finds service under Yuan Shao. When Zhang He attacks Yuan Shao at Shizugatake, Jiang Wei is given the chance to test his mettle.

Requirements for Obtaining Prodigal

 * Requirements: Defeat all generals before Liu Chan surrenders.
 * 1) Ring the gong at the west, then ignore Jian Ge Gate, just go kill Xu Zhu and Xu Huang very quickly.
 * 2) Liu Chan should appear by now. He'll move towards Zhang He and Cao Ren. Save before you go ahead and defeat both of them, all before Liu Shan surrenders to them.

 * There are many ways to do this. For example, if you ring the gong on the west, Liu Chan will go towards the east first. If you did not ring it, he will go towards the western gates first. This also varies hugely depending on each player's fighting style and skill. You are recommended to find your own path for this weapon because your style and skill are not the same as mine.
