Diaochan/Weapons

Here is a collection of Diaochan's weapons in the Warriors series.

Level 10 Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle of Si Shui Gate
 * Requirements: Do not defeat any general until the messenger delivers the message of Hua Xiong being defeated. Then defeat two of the three officers - Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei.
 * Important Note: Once Hua Xiong is defeated, you only have a limited amount of time to fulfill the criteria for Diao Chan's Level 10 Weapon and defeat Yuan Shao before Li Jue declares the gate lost and retreats, losing the stage.

Level 11 Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Assassinate Dong Zhuo!
 * Restrictions: No bodyguards, no items
 * Requirements: Defeat Hua Xiong in under 10 minutes.

Strategy

 * 1) Do not be seen by the enemy while reaching Dong Zhuo.
 * 2) Kill Dong Zhuo with more than 10 minutes left on the clock.
 * 3) Defeat Hua Xiong to open the exit within 10 minutes from game start.
 * 4) Level 11 weapon message.
 * 5) Run to the escape.

Note: It sounds easy, but it's very hard in fact. Two-player trick recommended. The second player can stay at the beginning spot (also the escape spot) while Diao Chan goes in to kill Dong Zhuo. When Hua Xiong appears, let the second player defeat him. Then wait for the level 11 message before escaping. Being caught will force the players to fight Lu Bu.

Fourth Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle of Xia Pi
 * Location: Near the enemy supply base where Liu Bei was.

Strategy
Defeat all generals and subgenerals before Cao Cao arrives. The player must also prevent their own generals from being killed. Defeat the subgenerals in the west and Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan will charge, so defeat them. Then defeat Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu. Eliminating the rest of the generals will trigger the Precious Item to appear in the southwest. Get the weapon and then defeat Cao Cao.
