Struggle For The Book
“Knowledge moves men. It moves countries. It moves history. From ancient days, men have sought knowledge, and at times, fought to gain it.
In the year 183 AD, three men pursued the knowledge of the Way of Peace. Which one of them would find the path leading to this ultimate wisdom was shrouded in mystery…”
Strategy: Pang Tong, Zhang Jiao, and Zuo Ci are competiting for the knowledge of the Way of Peace from Master Lao. Each endures the same misfortunes but each goes their own path; Pang Tong on the left, Zuo Ci on the right, and Zhang Jiao in the center. Several hazards are along the way, from poison swamps to wind gusts to elephants to stone and phantom soldiers. Needless to say, this battle is unlike most.
There are no other “generals”, so to speak. Hopefully, you have a horse saddle you can use here. If not, this will take a much longer time, especially the wind gust event. Anyway, ride your horse north (in the case of all three characters) and go through the wind gust area, but be careful of archers here. Getting knocked off your horse can set you back, and you’re attempting to beat both of your opponents.
When you get to the castle wall, Master Lao will call two Lieutenants and a phantom Master Lao. Kill them (be wary of the Phantom Soldier that is following you) and head into the castle. Ride around and check out the different soldiers, but try to find some solace away from the poison swamps; these can do a number on you, especially if you’re fighting or are in the area for an extended period of time. Master Lao will summon Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Cao Cao phantoms, and you must kill them all. Hopefully you’re so far ahead that the other two haven’t entered the castle yet.
Enter the next area of the castle after this, and you’ll be caught in a Rockslide and an ambush from two other phantoms (the two opponents you are racing against). Try to save your Musou Token’s for these battles, and immediately afterwards you’ll have to face two phantoms of yourself! Again, with the rockslide and the geysers shooting off, you must be careful of the terrain.
Inside, you’ll see tornadoes circling the area, and Master Lao standing around. You can attack him, but he regenerates his health, since killing him isn’t the issue. Instead he laughs and summons a Lu Bu clone, whom you must defeat with the tornadoes in the vicinity. The tornadoes do a ton of damage, so try to set Lu Bu up far away from these before you get too involved with Lu Bu. Lu Bu himself is powered up and used a Musou Rage twice when I fought him with Pang Tong (only once with Zuo Ci, consequently). Either way he is a challenge as you are by yourself and the tornado is basically heat-seeking. Once Lu Bu is killed however, the Way of Peace is yours!
