Warriors Orochi 4/Story Mode

Story Mode in Warriors Orochi 4 largely follows the same format set by the last installment: several story chapters and a separate section for side stories. Like in Samurai Warriors 4, players are given a set of optional objectives to complete in order to earn bonus rewards; achieving them is essential in order to acquire mystic weapons in the Chaotic difficulty setting. However, as this game has no continuity with the other titles in the Warriors Orochi series, character interactions and allegiances are vastly different this time around. The story starts with the three Tokugawa characters: Tadakatsu Honda, Naotora Ii and Naomasa Ii.

In Warriors Orochi 4, Side Stories are listed together under a separate heading. In Warriors Orochi 4: Ultimate, Side Stories are now listed at the bottom of their original chapter. Side Stories listed below will follow the Ultimate order and will be marked with a (SS). Ultimate adds Chapters 6, 7 and the Final Chapter to the series as well as some Side Stories in existing chapters. Ultimate stages prior to Chapter 6 will be marked with (Ultimate).

Stages can be challenged on one of five difficulties; Easy, Normal, Hard, Chaotic or Pandemonium. Completing all the Battle Objectives on Chaotic Difficulty for a character listed as Unique Weapon for that stage will unlock a powerful Unique Weapon for that character. The character Hundun must be unlocked by defeating him in a Pandemonium-difficulty stage after beating the Chapter 5. The characters Orochi, Orochi X, Yinglong, Tamamo and Kyubi are not unlockable in Story Mode, instead through the use of the Camp feature. Yinglong, Tamamo and Kyubi may also be unlocked early through DLC.

The character Perseus can be unlocked by collecting all 21 Perseus Fragments which are scattered across a total of 12 battlefields. These fragments only appear after completing the Chapter 6 scenario The Dragon Ninja. Stages below marked with a (P) will indicate a Perseus Fragment. Unlocking Perseus is required to play the Final Chapter.
