Story Mode in Samurai Warriors 3 is limited to five stages per character. Many stages and their subsequent missions are shared between stories. Sometimes, characters are given missions unique to them, such as Nene leading the Toyotomi Army during The Osaka Campaign instead of Hideyori Toyotomi in Hanzō's story mode. The expansion adds ten more stories to the list.
To acquire 4th weapons listed in each stage, players must clear every tactical bonus on Hard difficulty or higher. Note that some characters can obtain them on Free Mode. 5th weapons are only available in the Moushouden or Z expansions and require all tactical bonuses to be achieved on Hell difficulty.
