Damn…this game is so good, it's better than the first 2. I can't stop playing. But, me being me, I'm trying to level up to level 10 before taking on Yuan Shu in the cave. It may be overkill, but I love beefing up my warriors before a good boss fight.

It's a better habit than me, I tend to just run from people cause I get so frustrated from battles.
I finished the game at level 45 this way, so you should probably be a higher level by the time you finish.

I've got everyone except for Zhao Yun at level 21 so far, Zhao Yun is at 19. I expected Xiahou Dun to be harder, but I whipped out all of my Limits, had Zhang Fei summon the Orochi a couple times, and pummeled him with Liu Bei's magic and Guan Yu's physicals while Zhao Yun healed. Such a quick battle…
Right now, I'm preparing to speak with Liu Biao.

Sounds like you're doing well. You're going to be in Jingzhou for a while, so get used to it.

Laughs, I still can't do that tomb without bursting into tears of aggrevation.

The tomb is pretty bad, but the enemies from then on don't use Sleep or Confuse as much, except some of the bosses.
I know I put up the path to the boss, and I could have sworn I put the way out too, but it's not on there. Oh well.

Is it just me, or does Zhao Yun have a higher chance of getting a critical hit? I'm not getting them all the time, but over half the time I get a critical, it's him. It might be an item equipped (like a steed), but I don't think so.
In addition to that, it seems Zhang Fei is the only one who makes counter attacks (he'll jump and it'll say Miss and then he attacks, even if his guage isn't full).
Also, can you give me a list of generals who join your party throughout the game?

Crits are random, it might be the steed.
You get in order:
Liu Bei
Zhang Fei
Guan Yu
Zhao Yun
Zhuge Liang
Huang Zhong
Ma Chao
No Wei Yan or Jiang Wei…oh well.

Aw…I was hoping for Wei Yan…
Also, I added to my previous post (too late it seems). Anyway, it seems Zhang Fei is the only one who counter attacks, so is it possible that each character may have some special bonus ability (ie: Zhang Fei can counter attack, Zhao Yun has a better chance for criticals, etc). Or do I just have to keep dreaming?

You might be on to something there. However, in the second half of the game I tend to use magic a lot more than physicals. Tell me if you think you find any other unique abilities.
Have you gotten to Xiakou yet?

No. I just got through the cave and defeated Cao Cao (or the swordsman that you fight when you reach Cao Cao). I'm working my way out of the cave as I type.
Thus far, however, I haven't found anything for Liu Bei or Guan Yu. Guan Yu is strictly used for attacking with physicals and Liu Bei uses physicals (usually in normal encounters) and magic (for bosses and strong monsters). When I get some other people, I'll see what happens. After all, if anyone would have a special ability, it'd be Zhuge Liang.

A lot of Wei bosses are one-shot people, so I just gave them some generic names (like the "Sworddancer" you just fought) but some show up more than once, or it's obvious who they are from their field sprite.

Be careful with magic, remember that YOU are the one to choose who gets which magic, not the game itself like in many games!

But being that Zhang Fei is stronger than Guan Yu, I may switch and give Guan Yu summons so I can reserve my strongest warrior for physicals. But I rather like this customizability with magic and that. It's really nifty!
Unfortunately…I must put the game on hold. I'm leaving in about a half hour so I need to stop.

The walkthrough is updated up until the boss fight where Liu Bei gets knifed, if anyone cares.
