Lu Xun/Weapons

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

Level 10 Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle of Yi Ling
 * Requirements: Keep Zhu Ran alive till the fire attack is successful, then enter and pass through the stone maze in under 3 minutes.

Level 11 Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle of Yu Fu Bay
 * Requirements: Go through the Stone Maze without getting lost, then defeat Zhao Yun and Guan Xing in under 11 minutes.

Strategy

 * 1) At the beginning, there are only three red dots on the mini map: two on the left and one at bottom right. Defeat defense captain at bottom right corner. It's easy to get there. Remember the path you took.
 * 2) Upon killing the defense captain, a stone sentinel in your area will move, go there. There will be an ambush. Kill everyone there.
 * 3) Message appears about some stone sentinels moving. Go to where the message points to. That should be the path you took from the entrance to bottom right corner that was blocked during step 2. Move back to the entrance.
 * 4) From the entrance, move to the square directly below it. This should trigger sentinel movements to the west and open up a path to the red dot at top left.
 * 5) Defeat the gate captain at top left.
 * 6) From there, go right, down, right, right, and Chen Shi and Zhang Bao should appear as an ambush.
 * 7) Defeat Chen Shi and Zhang Bao.
 * 8) You should be close to the bottom right corner again. Go back toward the entrance once again through the path you came down at the beginning of the game.
 * 9) Arriving at top left corner, defeat Guan Xing and Zhao Yun.
 * 10) Level 11 message.

Note 1: If you get the message that Lu Xun is lost in the maze, you've messed up. Therefore, it is recommended to save often. It's possible to go through various other routes to get a similar result, but this is by far the most consistent method.

Note 2: Zhao Yun is quite strong even without being in Hyper Mode. As a result, it's wise to duel him cautiously.

Fourth Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle of Bai Di Castle (Wu)
 * Location: In the northeast corner of the Stone Sentinel Maze.
 * Requirements: Defeat Ma Chao and Jiang Wei before Yue Ying arrives.

Strategy
You can try to obtain his fourth weapon via 2 players. Here is the main deal: Yue Ying arrives one minute and thirty seconds after you kill Xing Cai or enter Bai Di castle. Therefore, your main goal should be to avoid doing either of these things. Not killing Xing Cai is easy, because you can just avoid her and go the other way around via using the maze entrance from the north instead.

However, it's wise to try killing Ma Chao first, due to him being on a far end of the battlefield and he disappears in two minutes if left alone and reappears far later right next to Sun Quan's position, on top of being in Hyper Mode when approached at anytime. This can prove troublesome as if one does not prefer to wait for Ma Chao, then he can be dealt with first.


 * 1) Choose Lu Xun as your character (Hard or Chaos mode, Hard preferred).
 * 2) Get yourself a second player (any character, Lu Bu preferred).
 * 3) Equip Red Hare (both players) and Ice Orb (just Lu Xun).
 * 4) Start the stage, and immediately head east using the bottom-most way.
 * 5) Character 2 should reach a base first, assuming they are not a Wu officer. They should kill the gate guard immediately and make way for Lu Xun.
 * 6) Lu Xun: run non-stop in order to directly reach Ma Chao.
 * 7) Ma Chao will be in Hyper Mode, but simply try to endure him to the point where he'll say "So, Wu would attack even the innocent?" and attempts to run away.
 * 8) DON'T LET MA CHAO RUN AWAY! You must keep on hitting him. Use Lu Xun's C3-2 and C6 to freeze him as much as possible, and keep him away from the gate he wants to exit from. It is very important that you kill Ma Chao now, if you want your life to be easier. Besides, he does not fight back at all, even in his Musou Rage state, he still wants to run away. That is your biggest advantage.
 * 9) Once Ma Chao is gone. Half of your requirements are met, and Sun Quan will not suffer later on. This is the most important part of the walkthrough. Everything else should be easy as you can freely deal with Jiang Wei.
 * 10) Though it should be noted that Ma Chao's presence might've wreaked havoc on both either you or your forces in general (thus overall morale drops are to be expected).
 * 11) Kill any of the two sub-officers of Liu Chan in front of the castle gates to open them, and run straight away to the north gate (beware of the deadly arbalests).
 * 12) Kill Jiang Wei with all the force you have. Remember, you may have around 1:30 at this point.
 * 13) The item will appear. Get it, and save (always do so after getting your weapon) and try to complete the stage by defeating Liu Chan (Yue Ying might arrive to back him up).

Alternate Strategy

 * 1) For solo play, you should first level up Lu Xun. Equip Serpent Earrings as it will help to improve your attack stat at least until he gets a third item slot. You need to have a high defense as well so equip yourself with Way of the Musou if available. Alternately, you may equip the Tortoise Amulet and Peacock Amulet instead along with the Tiger Amulet. If you have an orb available use it. Ice is good, but Fire is better as it will burn for damage over time so long as the enemy is in air.
 * 2) To kill Ma Chao, first wait until Zhou Tai reaches Sun Quan. Ma Chao is in Hyper Mode so use hit-and-run tactics and always use your Musou Attack when the gauge is full. Juggle him using Lu Xun's C5 or C6 attack and repeat the process until Ma Chao is defeated. Be careful to watch Sun Quan's morale gauge or life gauge.
 * 3) To defeat Jiang Wei, lead him into the maze and reach its center. Destroy the statue there and defeat the guards who appear afterward to open the maze. Evade the arbalest and defeat Jiang Wei.
