Dong Zhuo Walkthrough

The Tyrant Dong Zhuo
Chapter 1: The Alliance Against Dong Zhuo ("The Insects!) This is the start of the reign of tyranny. Hua Xiong will guard the gate while the others attack the allied generals. Huang Gai should not be too far from your position so go ahead and get rid of him. After a minute or more, a messenger from Sun Jian will make his way to Yuan Shu. Li Jue will want you to eliminate him before the messenger completes his task. If the messenger completes his task then Sun Jian will advance towards Hua Xiong.

(Looks like Yuan Shu sent the supplies to Sun Jian. Not good and quite bad for you.) If Hua Xiong is defeated then the army will soon retreat after careful consideration. As we all know though, once Hua Xiong is routed Li Jue will eventually shout for the retreat. If this happens, you will have only a certain amount of time to beat the enemy. So take care of a few generals then head for Yuan Shao; however, if you did defeat the messenger, Hua Xiong will be able to beat Sun Jian with a little help from you. More or less, defeat the allied generals then crush Yuan Shao to win your first battle for Dong Zhuo.

The allied forces have come far, but this is where you stop them so put your weapon to work. Guan Yu, Xiahou Dun, and Huang Gai will be pass Hu Lao gate so take care of them. In a short moment, Diao Chan will appear to offer her services but she isn't much help so don't expect her to be like Lu Bu and his officers. After you pass through Hu Lao gate, you will notice Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian have taken up defenses in front of their gates. Liu Bei is in the north, Cao Cao is in the south, and Sun Jian is in the east. Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan will be further in the east behind the very gate Sun Jian is guarding. As you and Dong Zhuo's generals slaughter many of the allied troops, you get a shocking surprise once you are close to the gates that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian guard. Once you are close enough the main camp of the allied forces appears way in the east with Yuan Shao at the head. Also, you receive a message saying the enemy has infiltrated the capital and they are setting fire to the city (Wait a minute. That is what Dong Zhuo is suppose to do.) Once the capital is on fire, the allied forces begin their assault on the capital. Not to mention, three officers are also inside the city of Luoyang and Yuan Shao's top generals are also here (Wen Chou and Yan Liang). Although you can return to the city to eliminate the three officers, your allies will be routed if Cao Cao or Liu Bei's morale is high. Once you eliminate the enemy in front of you, head for Sun Jian and defeat him so you can head into the final area. Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan will not attack you so you can easily run past them if you want. Put Yuan Shao out of the battle and the allied army will no longer exist.

Chapter 2: The Tiger Hunt If you have already played the story mode of Yuan Shao then you know what to expect from this battle. Lu Meng and Zhou Tai are guarding the center path so go ahead and take care of them along with their officers. You can head for the capital, but there are also enemy reinforcements that will be appearing later on. Once you enter the capital and move towards the north, Sun Jian and Sun Ce will appear near at the rear of your army and more reinforcements will appear in the east and west area (Sun ShangXiang and Gan Ning.) Play this battle carefully and take your time. You will eventually win this battle.

The Final Verdict
Chapter 3: The Villain's Demise Once again, if you've played Yuan Shao's story mode then you will know what to do. Liu Bei will be hold up in his castle while his brothers and their officers fight on the outside. Guan Yu and Guan Ping will guard the west land, Zhang Fei will be in the east and Fu Shi Ren will attack the main camp in the south. As you know Mi Fang will be appearing three times in this battle so defeat him three times to cause Liu Bei and his army to fall apart. Once Mi Fang is defeated three times, go ahead and start eliminating any generals on the field. Moreover, you should do fine once you understand how to beat this stage.

Time for Dong Zhuo to get rid of his most hated enemy. Since Li Ru is acting both advisor and strategist, he lets you know that Cao Cao is a cunning man and will be prepared. (Indeed he is!) As you start out, you will notice that Cao Ren is holding Bai Ma under his control. (HINT: if you defeated Mi Fang in the last battle three times then he will be in this battle as an officer under Dong Zhuo right near Bai Ma.) Cao Ren will have three officers under his command, and remember what Li Ru said eariler. If you attack from the east of Bai Ma, you can easily defeat Cao Ren and take over the first castle. (HINT: If for some reason you attacked from the west of Bai Ma where Cao Xiu is then Cao Ren will surprise two of your generals by breaking the very bridge you crossed trapping you inside the castle. Crafty indeed; however, if you did not get trapped by Cao Ren's surprise then rush over to the east or north of Bai Ma and defeat Cao Ren's officers to open up the gates and have him trapped by his own scheme. It does have its drawbacks.) Once Bai Ma is taken, head for either the circular path or Yan Jin. Cao Pi has two officers under his command. If you defeat the officer just before the circular path, Xu Huang will appear in an ambush. Once you've dealt with him, head for Cao Pi and his other officer to give them a beat down. After a while, Li Ru will say that there may be more ambush parties and give you a hint of where to look at. Now if you decided to attack both of Xiahou Yuan's officers before entering Yan Jin, he will retreat from the fortress. (Ha! Look at him run with his tail between his legs. Wait a minute? Somethin' is not right.) After you give chase to Xiahou Yuan, you will be ambushed by Yue Jin and his crossbow unit just outside the fortress of Yan Jin. Xiahou Yuan will get very excited and turn about to attack so take your frustration out on them. Once it comes down the castle of Guan Du, Li Dian is your only problem left. (Yeah Right. One more general left.) After you manage to get inside the castle, Dian Wei will engage your allies and if you get too far in, Cao Cao will close the gate to divide your army. Ambush parties and a gate captain will appear to put you down and to make matters worse Xiahou Dun will appear from Wu Chao and he is heading for the main camp. Once you get the castle back open, rush back up top to help your commander out and send Xiahou Dun to the grave. (HINT: If you allowed Cao Ren to destroy the bridge then Xiahou Dun will have to go around the north of the land before he can get to Dong Zhuo. If not then he will head straight for Dong Zhuo.) After all the ambushes and surprise parties are routed, head for Cao Cao himself and end his reign of chaos.

Final Chapter: Lu Bu's Revolt A dog should not bite his master's hand. Anyways, Dong Zhuo says for you to seal off the gate captains to cut off their escape. (What is this!? Dong Zhuo is an advisor?) Lu Bu will encounter Diao Chan, but he will back away from her since he does not want to harm her. Once you seal off the gate captains, it will be much easier for you to defeat them since it is only four generals. If for some reason Diao Chan is defeated by Lu Bu or Chen Gong, Lu Bu will say that Dong Zhuo killed her instead of him. (Yeah Right! He has got to go for sure!) There is hardly any strategy here so just whoop the four generals and claim the victory for Dong Zhuo. (What? You thought the battles was for your kingdom? Yeah Right!) Other than that, well done on making Dong Zhuo the new ruler of China.
