Thanks sammy, I knew I had it but didn’t know which item it was, I tried not to read the guide and see if I could go through on my own. I had six items that i thought could be it. Thanks again Sam.
September 30, 2006 at 1:30 am #21988thechieftainParticipantDood I just had somethinf fucked up happen to me in the wu mod towards the end I found Dong Zhou just randamly sitting at a gate. I use a random item on him, I think it was the "ferry ticket" as thats about where I was in the game. I fight him Lu Bu and a Tactician the was lie a 50/220/80 kind of guy. I kill em, and go through a cave that ends up being that little boat thing to get to pang tong. I come out og a building into a town full of women only, all the top equipment I is like 60000 at the shop. At the billiting that I went to there were now two Pang Tongs in my army, I added one and put him in the lead. I went to the castle which was a cave of treasure, I fight a couple fights and try to leave it because I forgot to rest at the inn,when I do the screen just starts going all Flashy like Earth bound and won’t move so I had to shut it down after like ten minutes.
September 30, 2006 at 7:55 pm #21989thechieftainParticipantI hav e went bacl and tried this again, I made it throught the first cave which then takes you to a town of all men, SAUSAGE FEST, In the castle there is the Blood seal tome with more great items spread about it, but my game shut down when I left.
October 1, 2006 at 2:15 am #21990thechieftainParticipantTP but I don’t care,
I tried something, I loaded up my english DOAE2 rom but loaded my Wu mod save state, I start where I was in the wu mod where I had Pang tong in my party, and after going to the status a couple times, wy troops names turn to english. Instead of pangtong I have Liu Qi, with 25368 troops. and 65/195/35 stats. Can you reallybe that slow. He has a weird sprite. Alsoint billeting I have Guan Suo and Guan Xing, NO Zhang Bao.
October 1, 2006 at 3:33 am #21991SamuelParticipantI have reached this part. A man stands at a gate and there is another path heading to Shang Fang Valley. But how do you that Dong Zhou guy fight you? I do not play any tricks and he says a message. He never fights.
By the way, I have not met Si Ma Yi’s thunder tactic. Is this after Si Ma Yi’s thunder?
October 1, 2006 at 3:39 am #21992thechieftainParticipantThere is an item you use on him, I don’t know which one. just use all the items you have in front of him, Keep trying that guy at the gate is dong Zhou
October 1, 2006 at 4:41 pm #21993thechieftainParticipantI did get hit by Sima thunder, But I think I had the item before that.
October 3, 2006 at 4:07 am #21994SamuelParticipantOk, the final part of my Wu Mod guide is available. This guide should answer your questions about the key combination for breaking Si Ma Yi’s thunder, Dong Zhuo, and the secret cave. If you have more doubts and sharing, please feel free to post them:
Chapter 6: Unify China by Defeating Wei
Soldiers have cleared the rocks at Luo Feng Pass. Wu troops can attack Han Zhong via Luo Feng. Cao Cao?s troops have occupied the Yang Ping and Nan Zheng Citadels, as well as Han Zhong. Wu generals battle Wei forces first at Yang Ping. Cao Cao?s generals include Cao Hong (7200), Cao Xiu (7100), and X? Huang (8200). All three of them appear in previous chapters. X? Huang is the most dangerous on account of his strength (227) and his attack power (200). I take him out with Ji Shi first. Then, Cao Hong and Cao Xiu are easy.
Wu troops continue the Han Zhong battles at Nan Zheng. Cao Cao?s forces strengthen as they have Cao Zhang (7800), Han Hao (7500), Zhang He (8000), and Guo Huai (7600). Cao Zhang (strength: 242, Cao Cao?s third son) and Zhang He (strength: 225) are very dangerous because of their strengths. Guo Huai is good at both attacks and tactics (strength: 187, intelligence: 200). If Wu troops can quickly take out Cao Zhang with Ji Shi, they have an easier time. Han Hao can be left until Cao Zhang, Zhang He, and Guo Huai are defeated.
Han Zhong is the final showdown for this part of the story. The battle is obviously more challenging than Nan Zheng. Xia Hou Yuan (8400) leads X? Huang (8200), Zhang He (8000), Cao Zhang (7800), and Xia Hou Shang (7300). Every Wei generals except Xia Hou Shang has strength over 200. You are in big trouble if they ambush you. They do it against me. I lose Sun Ce before I plan my attacks. Wu troops must carry lots of silver and revival potions. Ji Shi is not available because Han Zhong is not close to mountains. Huo Shen becomes crucial for victory although it does not always succeed. I win in my second attempt (Gan Ning dies in my second try). The generals? attacks are really devastating.
Wu troops rest one night and talk to Sun Jian, who arrives from Cheng Du on the next day. A soldier reports Cao Cao?s usurp on the Han throne. Zhou Y? suggests Sun Jian to become the king of Wu. Sun Jian agrees and he is anointed king. He then decides to invade and conquer Cao Cao so he can restore the Han Empire. He assigns Sun Ce to defend Jian Ye and Cheng Pu to defend Cheng Du. Sun Ce and Cheng Pu leave the party permanently. Sun Jian delegates Zhou Y? to lead Wu troops for the war against Cao Cao and Wei.
Zhou Y? and others leave the palace. Sun Quan (strength: 228; intelligence: 207; equips swords) stands at the door. He succeeds his older brother, Sun Ce, and his father, Sun Jian, as a combat general. Zhu Ge Jin?s son, Zhu Ge Ke (strength: 116; intelligence: 218; equips spears) joins too. I pick up Tai Shi Ci at the billet before I talk to Zhu Ge Ke. In doing so, I prevent the possibility of not being able to take him out. Zhu Ge Ke turns out to be relatively weak. Sun Quan is decent so I am happy to keep him. If you are uncomfortable with Sun Quan?s intelligence, you can replace him with Zhang Zhao.
Wu troops enter Wei territory from Han Zhong. They head southeast (soldiers have removed rocks blocking the path east of Han Zhong) and pass the Feng Ming gate without a fight. The Nan An Castle is southeast of Feng Ming. This is the first of a lengthy war against Cao Cao and Wei. Wei defenders include Qin Liang (8200), Han Ji (7600), and Cen Wei (7800). None of them is particularly strong. Wu troops easily seize Nan An. A famous doctor named Hua Tuo lives there. He offers Wu generals a free rest. People in Nan An tell Sun Quan the three castles in the nearby area: Nan An, An Ding, and Tian Shui. Cao Zhen guards Tian Shui. A Void Spear is available. I give it to Tai Shi Ci.
An Ding is east of Nan An so Sun Quan leads Wu generals to attack it. Qin Lang (8200), Zai Ling (8000), Zheng Wen (7300), and Fei Yao (7800) guard it. The four generals are weak although they have many soldiers. Besides, they are not mentioned in history. Wu troops should have another easy battle. An Ding has an Emperor Sabre and a Gold Stone. No capable Wu general equips the Emperor Sabre so Sun Quan sells it. They also meet an old lady but she is too ill to talk. Sun Quan attacks Tian Shui and Wu troops encounter Cao Zhen (9000), Wang Shuang (8800), Zhang Hu (8400), Yue Lin (8600), and Xin Pi (8400). Cao Zhen and Wang Shuang are the dangerous enemies. Wu forces get rid of Wang Shuang by casting Ji Shi. Cao Zhen can form a Ji Mo array so take him out next. Then, focus on Xin Pi. Tian Shui has a Great Armour and a Barrage Sword. The armoury shop sells a Nu Long Sword. Sword users can upgrade their weapons.
Rocks block the mountain pass northeast of Tian Shui. Otherwise, people can reach Chen Cang and Chang An directly. Wu troops must take the long road. They move north and the terrain has changed from the original DOAE2. A cave is northeast of Tian Shui. Sun Quan goes there. Wu troops find the Gauntlet, the Cloud Burst Scroll, and a few more items. This cave is the same as the one southeast of Bei Yuan in the original game. A mountain pass is located further north. When they go there, Deng Ai (9400) ambushes via a fire attack! His generals include Wen Qin (8600), Wen Yang (8400), Guo Huai (7600), and Chen Tai (8600). Their powerful attacks and fire defeat Wu troops easily.
Fortunately, Ji Ping rescues them and brings them back to An Ding. He says that Wen Qin and Wen Yang are forced to serve Deng Ai because of their ailing mother. He bestows Sun Quan a reference letter. He takes to Hua Tuo at Nan An so Hua Tuo will heal the Wens? mother. However, a general guards Hua Tuo?s house in Nan An. Talk to him and choose ?no?. A fight begins. In fact, two generals guard Hua Tuo?s house. They are Wei Guan (7100) and Tian X? (7000). Tian X? is very weak but Wei Guan can cast tactics. Kill Wei Guan first.
Sun Quan show Ji Ping?s reference letter to Hua Tuo, who runs to An Ding and heal the mother of Wen Qin and Wen Yang. When Sun Quan and the rest arrive at An Ding, Hua Tuo and Ji Ping have healed the Wens? mother. Sun Quan leaves An Ding in order to explain to the Wen brother. But they come and attack Wu troops. Since they are on their own, Wu generals defeat them quickly. They try to escape but Sun Quan and others catch them up. Zhou Y? explains everything. Wen Qin and Wen Yang then leave Cao Cao. They vanish and I cannot find them in the billet. But they are not very useful so I am not too concerned.
Zhou Y? leaves the team. He needs to invent a new weapon. Wu troops continue their conquest with Lu Xun being their tactician. I insert Zhang Zhao in the lineup for now. Sun Quan goes back to Tian Shui from An Ding. He and others find Zhou Y? in the palace. Zhou Y? commands them to seize Chen Cang. Sun Quan and others travel north from Tian Shui. They reach the Yi Shui citadel (not sure about the name?s accuracy) after passing the mountain pass where Deng Ai ambushed. Cao Zhen (9000), Wang Shuang (8800), Zhang Hu (8400), Yue Lin (8600), and Sun Li (8600) guard it. Four of the five enemy generals are the same as Tian Shui. But Wu troops need to be more careful with Sun Li while focusing on Cao Zhen and Wang Shuang.
In Yi Shui, people tell Sun Quan that the Xie Gu Citadel is in the west. A Gold Stone is available at Yi Shui, whose layout is the same as Si Li of the original DOAE2. I reach level 48 and Lu Xun learns the Ba Gua array; however, I do not have Shui Long. Moreover, Wu troops are heavily outnumbered (2:1 ratio). We need to train many levels in order to strengthen Wu generals? power.
If you feel comfortable with your levels, proceed from Yi Shui along the mountains. Wu troops reach the Xie Gu citadel (equivalent to the Bei Yuan Citadel in the original game). Hao Zhao (8800), Wang Shuang (8800), Chen Tai (8600), and Sun Li (8600) battle Sun Quan and others. All of them are talented so Sun Quan and others have a difficult fight. Strategically take out Wang Shuang by casting Ji Shi. Then, Wu troops focus on Hao Zhao. Sun Li and Chen Tai should not be too difficult after Wang Shuang and Hao Zhao are dead. But if the enemy casts Ji Mian successfully, Wu troops are going to have a tough battle. For this reason, I put a few highly intelligent generals in the lineup (Sun Quan, L? Meng, Lu Su, and if you want, Zhang Zhao). In Xie Gu, people tell Sun Quan that Cao Cao heavily defends Jie Ting.
Sun Quan and others head west from the Xie Gu Citadel. They must pass the Xie Gu Mountains (a Wind Helmet is in one of the chests) before reaching Jia Ting. The Xie Gu Mountains is identical to the mountain pass east of Bei Di in the original game. But Wu troops travel in the reverse direction. They reach the Gao Lao Village (transliterated as Xia Luo in the original game). Most people are old men. A Silver Stone and a pair of Speed Shoes are available. Sun Quan and L? Meng can equip them because their agilities are high (duplication needed). An old man offers Sun Quan water but he does not have a flask to store it. The water in the Gao Lao Village is the best in China. How does the water relate to Wu?s conquest?
Wu troops arrive at Jie Ting after they leave Xia Luo Village. Indeed, five generals guard it so the defense is heavy. But apart from Huan Fan (8000), they are very weak. Cao Shuang (9000), Cao Xun (8800), Cao Yan (8600), Cao Xi (8400) are easy to defeat. Concentrate on Huan Fan (intelligence: 206) first and the Cao generals fall quickly. But they find neither Cao Cao nor Si Ma Yi inside Jie Ting. Where are they? Sun Quan also hears reports that Zhou Y? has invented a new weapon. Everyone decides to meet Zhou Y? at Tian Shui.
However, Cao Cao?s forces ambushes at the mountain pass outside Jia Ting! Wu forces cannot fight them but they must retreat. Deng Ai (9400) launches the first assault. He and his son Deng Zhong (8200) attack Wu forces at the end of the pass. But this mod does not have Si Ma Yi striking every step at the pass. As they retreat, Wu troops discover that Deng Ai has conquered Yi Shui. He, Deng Zhong, and Hu Lie (8200) launch another surprise attack. Wu troops have no choice but retreat. But Deng Ai ambushes for the fourth time at the beginning of the mountain pass south of Yi Shui! Hu Yuan (8000) joins Wei?s ambush. Again, Wu has to retreat. Deng Ai attacks for the fifth time in the pass. Huang Fu Kai (7500) joins as Wei?s fifth general.
They meet Zhou Y? when they finally arrive at Tian Shui. He has already invented a new item. He rejoins and brings it with him. But I have no clue with this new item?s function. I cannot use it during battles. I can equip it in a general but his statistics, attack, and defense remain the same. Anyhow, Wu troops need to recapture Yi Shui and Xie Gu before launching a second attack on Jie Ting. Hu Lie and Hu Yuan guard Yi Shui. They are not very talented generals so this battle is very easy. Wei troops also seized Xie Gu. Wu Qiu Jian (8600) and Zhu Ge Dan (8800, not related to Zhu Ge Liang and Zhu Ge Jin) guard it. This Xie Gu battle is a little harder than Yi Shui but should not be very difficult.
Sun Quan and others reach Jie Ting for the second time. Surprisingly, they enter without a fight. A man says that Deng Ai gathers the troops and retreats from Sun Quan. What is Deng Ai?s strategy? Regardless, everyone heads northeast and invades the Lu Castle. Deng Ai?s comrade, Zhong Hui (9200), leads X? Zhi (8400), X? Yi (8600), Xun Kai (7800), and Qiu Jian (7300) in defense. Zhong Hui?s intelligence is 240 so he is the dangerous man. Xun Kai and Qiu Jian do not have high intelligence values but their Ji Mian can give Wu troops a tough time. Try to control X? Zhi and X? Yi in order to focus on the other three. Fu Sha or Li Fan is good if successful.
Zhong Hui escapes from death after Wu troops seize Lu. In Lu, Sun Quan and comrades find a Half Moon Bow and a Gold Stone. Two storage huts are located in the northeast of Lu. They enter and pick up many valuable weapons, armours, helmets, and shields. Some of them include the Heaven Sword (220 attack), Dragon Spear (220 attack), the Sky Helmet (NOT the best helmet in this mod), the Thunder Shield (80 defense), and the Great Armour (best armour in the game). Wu troops also find a Treatise for Lu Xun. I duplicate one for Zhou Y?, two for Lu Su.
People report that Deng Ai gathers much fire powder. When and where will he launch a fire attack? A woman tells Sun Quan the function of the Cloud Burst. Heavy rain falls when a person prays with it. Sun Quan remembers these news and attack the Qi Shan Citadel, located north of Lu. Pang De (9400) and Pang Hui (7300) guard it. Their strengths are high but they are not very intelligent. Tactics should be very successful and the battle is easy.
According to Sun Quan?s conversations with people in Qi Shan, the Shang Fang Valley is in front of Qi Shan. A woman says that Deng Ai and his troops are in Shang Fang Valley. Wu troops head north from Qi Shan. A man stands at the gate. Sun Quan talks to him and he seems to demand something from the Han Emperor. He does not move away and does not fight. Sun Quan and others leave him (we will deal with him later), taking the eastern path from Qi Shan and they arrive at the Shang Fang Valley.
Deng Ai (9400), Zhong Hui (9200), and Deng Zhong (8200) are there. Deng Ai burns the valley and besieges the Wu forces in a sea of fire. Hu Lie (8200) and Hu Yuan (8000) join them. But Zhou Y? remembers the word from a woman at Lu. He prays to the heavens with the Cloud Burst (only Zhou Y? can use it). Suddenly, large drops of rain fall in Shang Fang. The rain is so heavy that it puts out the fire. Deng Ai is angry and shocked. He challenges Sun Quan?s troops in desperation. The battle remains very difficult if Wu troops? level is too low. Take out Deng Ai and Zhong Hui first. Meanwhile, control Deng Zhong with tactics.
Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, and Deng Zhong die in this battle. Wei loses its three most talented young generals. What fate will Wei face? A soldier reports to Sun Quan. Sun Jian has arrived at Lu. Sun Quan and others then return to Lu. While Sun Jian and Sun Quan celebrate their victory, soldiers report that Cao Cao?s main army is in Luo Yang. Sun Jian then orders Sun Quan to seize Chang An and Luo Yang. As they leave the Lu palace. Lu Kang (strength: 197; intelligence: 226; equips swords) rushes in and joins the group. He is the son of Lu Xun.
The path beyond Shang Fang Valley has been cleared. Everyone moves on. Wei troops suddenly ambush them at the end of Shang Fang. Du Y? (9000) leads Wang Xun (9200) and Zhou Zhi (8600) in the fight. All of them are decent in abilities so Wu troops must be careful. Du Y? can form Jing Mo and cast An Sha. He kills my Gan Ning so we have to bring some revival potions to the battle. They will be handy if one of Wu generals dies of an An Sha.
Wu troops march on. They see a hut in the north but no one is there (we will visit this hut shortly). They head south and reach the Wu Zhang Citadel. Yang Gu (9200), Wang Xun (9200), Zhou Zhi (8600), and Huang Fu Kai (7500) defend it. Wu troops must first defeat Yang Gu and Wang Xun. Meanwhile, intelligent generals cast tactics on Zhou Zhi. In doing so, Wu troops conquer the Wu Zhang Citadel. They pick up a Thunder Ax. They talk to a man, who sells them a Heaven Elixir for 1000 gold pieces. Sun Quan buys it and the man runs away. Wu generals also hear the Ba Gua array from an old man. In this mod, the Ba Gua array costs only 48 SP (instead of 200 in the Wei mod). Even though it prevents enemies from hitting four of our five generals, the array heavily reduces our attack powers. Each strike can only kill approximately 100 to 200 soldiers when we implement the Ba Gua. You can decide whether it is worth using.
Surprisingly, Si Ma Yi does not participate in the Wu Zhang battle. Where is he? Wu troops head south with this question in mind. They encounter a stone maze and they cannot find an exit. They leave the maze and find a hut northeast of it. An old man lives there. He loses a valuable item called Heaven Elixir. Sun Quan purchases it at Wu Zhang and he uses it. Then, the old man tells Sun Quan that Si Ma Yi sets up the stone maze. He intends to slow down Wu troops? advance. Wu troops go south 20 steps, followed by east 20 steps. They find the exit.
Two castles lie ahead of them. Chang An is east of the stone maze. Chen Cang is southwest of Chang An. But Wu troops first enter the Tie Men Mountains, located east of Chang An. They pick up some weapons, armours, and items. Since I am stuck with Lu Su, the Yang You Bow is helpful. Wu troops leave the Tie Men Mountains and store some items in the safe. I keep training levels before I attack Chang An and Chen Cang. I discover that Wu troops learn Shui Long (30 SP in this mod) at level 58. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong know Jin Xian at level 46. Sun Quan, L? Meng, Lu Su, Zhou Y?, Lu Xun, Lu Kang, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong learn Shui Long. Lu Xun is the only general that knows the Ba Gua array.
Wu troops attack Chang An and Si Ma Yi is there. Suddenly, everything turns into a white blank in front of Wu generals. When they wake up, they lie in a hut instead of fighting Si Ma Yi at Chang An. Sun Quan wonders what has happened. He says ?aren?t we battling Si Ma Yi? Where is this? Why do we end up lying in this small house? They find an old man named Huang Cheng Yan, who rescue them and settle them there (his home). Zhou Y? asks him ?what tactic is Si Ma Yi using?? Huang Cheng Yan replies, ?Si Ma Yi?s tactic is called Luo Lei (thunder tactic), which he learns from Wu Qi (a famous tactician in ancient China).? Zhou Y? says ?is there a solution for this thunder tactic?? Huang Cheng Yan giggles, ?yes, but I won?t teach you unless you bring me tea.? An unexpected episode begins, as this hut is involved in the game.
Wu troops must find tea for Huang Cheng Yan. When they leave Huang?s hut, they find themselves north of Wu Zhang and northeast of Shang Fang. They go to Wu Zhang and enter the house at the right of the inn. A tea merchant is there. He gives Sun Quan tea immediately (good that the game makers do not make Wu troops travel to Tian Shui). Everyone returns to Huang Cheng Yan?s hut and bestows him tea. He is very happy but he demands water. He gives Sun Quan a water bucket, asking him to grab a bucket of pure water at the Gao Lao Village. Now Sun Quan understands how water relates to Wu?s conquest.
They head to the Gao Lao Village right away. The old man near the well happily gives them a bucket of clean water. They return and provide a full bucket of Gao Lao?s clean water to Huang Cheng Yan. But he does not teach them the solution for Si Ma Yi?s thunder tactic. Instead, he asks for a tea set. Wu generals then go to the Lu Castle. The tea set merchant has returned and he lives in the house at the right of the item shop. He gives the best crafted tea set to Sun Quan upon Sun Quan?s request. Sun Quan and his comrades happily return to Huang Cheng Yan?s house, thinking that he will finally tell them the solution for the thunder attack.
Huang Cheng Yan receives the tea set and enjoys his delicious tea. Meanwhile, he tells Sun Quan the solution. When Si Ma Yi utters his lines, players must key ?up, down, down, left, right, left, down, up? immediately after he finishes. This will nullify Si Ma Yi?s thunder tactic. But Zhou Y? wishes an insurance strategy. They come up with a plan, spreading rumours that Zhou Y? is dead. When Si Ma Yi leaves Chang An, Wu troops seize it immediately.
Wu troops march to Chang An confidently. Si Ma Yi tries to launch the thunder attack again (key ?up, down, down, left, right, left, down, up? as soon as he finishes the second part of his line). But he does not realize that Wu troops have nullified it. Sun Quan announces that Zhou Y? has died. Wu troops retreat and Si Ma Yi pursues them. Suddenly, Zhou Y? and Sun Quan emerge. Zhou Y? says that Si Ma Yi has fallen into his trick. Sun Quan tells Si Ma Yi (9999) that his thunder tactic has failed. Zhou Y? then besieges Si Ma Yi?s troops in a widespread fire. Si Ma Yi?s generals include Xia Hou Ba (9400), Xia Hou Wei (8800), Wu Qiu Jian (8600), and Zhu Ge Dan (8800). Si Ma Yi is obviously the most dangerous so take him out first. With the help of the fire, Wu troops easily win. However, Si Ma Yi escapes and runs to Luo Yang.
People in Chang An say that Si Ma Yi has gathered one million troops in Luo Yang. While Wu troops pick up a Fortune Shield and a Power Stone, a man says that the Emperor?s Seal is in the Chen Cang Castle. Sun Quan talks to an old man in the northwestern part of Chang An. He bestows a Snake Spear to him.
Chen Cang is southwest of Chang An. Si Ma Yi?s grandson, Si Ma Yan (9800), defends it. Jia Chong (8400), Cheng Ji (8800), and Cheng Cui (8600) follow him. L? Meng and Zhou Y? can kill Cheng Ji and Cheng Cui by casting Shui Long. This is important because the Chengs? strengths are over 210. The rest can take out Jia Chong. Si Ma Yan is then easy. Sun Quan enters Cheng Cang after the victory. Wu troops visit the hut at the northwest corner. They pick up many treasures, including the Emperor?s Seal (ぎよくじ). A Sky Helmet is available in Chen Cang.
Before Wu troops head to Luo Yang, they recall the man standing at a gate north of Qi Shan (we deal with him now). Sun Quan and others return there. They use the Emperor?s Seal in front of him. He is in fact Dong Zhuo (9999). He demands the seal because he wishes to become the emperor. He leads L? Bu (9800) and Li Ru (9600), challenging Wu troops to a battle in a sea of fire. The battle ends quickly if Wu troops successfully cast Shui Long on Dong Zhuo and L? Bu. Dong Zhuo is finally dead.
A cave is located northeast of the gate. Wu troops enter it and discover that it is a water pathway. They navigate it by boarding a boat (this pathway is initially the one southeast of Chai Sang in the original game). When they exit the pathway, they arrive at a castle (the Han Castle of the original DOAE2). They find many women but no men. They cannot get out because two women block the gate. They enter the palace. It turns out to be a secret entrance to another cave (originally in between the Han Castle and Ma Liang?s hut in Jing Zhou). When they exit the cave, they enter another one (the same as the one north of Chang Sha, where Yang You Bow is found). They find the Snake Spear. A staircase in the lower floor connects them to the original DOAE2?s Nan Castle. Wu troops enter the palace and they find themselves in Emperor Jing?s tomb. Yes, the dreaded tomb is back. But the good news is that game makers take away its tricks. Wu troops find the ultimate helmet ? Huo Shen Helmet (かしんのかぶと, defense point: 70) in the chest where the Blood Seal is supposed to be placed (Huo Shen Helmet only exists in the Wu Mod).
This sequence of caves has many glitches. The screen sometimes turns into complete darkness and I have been stuck several times. My level decreases from 60 to 27 at one point. I regain 15 of them back during a battle. I end up modifying the emulator in order to have my levels back (hey, if the computer plays dirty, I will do the same). I therefore advise players to use Suo Di once we pick up the Huo Shen Helmet. Wu troops immediately return to the cave?s very initial entrance, northeast of the gate where they defeat Dong Zhuo.
The Dong Zhuo and cave episodes are weird but the caves hide all the top weapons (Li Guang Bow, Zeng Zong Sabre, Qing Gang Sword, Thunder Ax, and Snake Spear). Wu troops can sell redundant weapons at the ?Han Castle?. The Heaven Sword, the Thin Axe, the Moon Sabre, the Yang You Bow, the Dragon Spear, and the Thunder Shield are available. Each costs 60000 gold pieces for purchase. Wu troops can buy the Great Armour for 65535 gold pieces. The Wind Helmet costs 50000 gold pieces.
The item shop in the ?Han Castle? sells the fire, water, boulder, and tactic scrolls. The fire and boulder scroll costs 50000 gold pieces each. The water scroll costs 65535 gold pieces while the tactic scroll costs 60000 gold pieces. I unload many scrolls (not very useful during fights) and unnecessary items in the armoury and the item shop. The fire and boulder scrolls inflict very little damage. Secret tactics from the tactic scroll rarely succeeds. The water scroll is the only valuable item because Shui Long is extremely powerful in this mod. With available spaces, I load up on gauntlets (duplication), strengthening everyone?s attack to 255. The original game?s Nan Castle has an item shop that sells Silver Stone, Gold Stone, Power Stone (60000 gold pieces, I believe), and the item invented by Zhou Y? (65535 gold pieces). Of course, I sell Zhou Y??s invention because it does not have any function. The Nan and Han Castles come back and become underground cities in this mod. This is kind of like the legendary Atlantis under the ocean.
Wu troops go to the billet in the ?Han Castle? and discover a secret comrade. His name is Wang Meng (strength: 130; intelligence: 250; equips sword, he has Pang Tong?s avatar) and he knows all the special tactics and arrays. He knows Huo Shen, Shui Long, Ji Shi, and Jin Xian too. I insert him and name him as the tactician (equip Treatise). I dump Gan Ning and put Lu Xun in battles because Gan Ning?s intelligence is too low late in the game.
After these episodes of Dong Zhuo and caves, Wu troops are loaded with top weapons, helmets, shields, and armours. Gauntlets, Speed Shoes, and Treatise should lead to excellent generals. Some of them have 255 intelligence (Zhou Y?, Lu Su, Wang Meng, Lu Xun). Some of them have 255 agility (Sun Quan, Zhou Y?, Lu Xun). We are now ready for the final showdown against Wei.
They go to Chen Cang again. Jia Chong, Cheng Ji, and Cheng Cui have taken control of it. Wu troops defeat them and recapture it. After a rest at the inn, they pass the Tie Men Mountains and reach a ferry dock. They board the ferry to Luo Yang (no battle at the pier). Remember to stock up Gold and Tactic Potions. Wu troops will need a lot of them in Luo Yang. The conquest has reached its climax!
Wu troops get off the ferry. Shops at the Yuan Castle are still vacant. No one is there except a ?Wang Meng?. They go to the small hut east of Yuan. Hu Hua offers them a free rest. They pass three citadels without a fight. They then reach Luo Yang, Wei?s final stronghold. Wu troops must fight five battles in a row. In the first battle, Zhang Hu (8400) leads Yue Lin (8600), X? Yi (8600), Dian Man (8800), and X? Zhi (8400). None of them knows tactics and Wu troops easily win. Remember not to use any tactics and potions. Even though Wu troops do not have any chance to rest and replenish between battles, this is not a good time to spend them. This Luo Yang war is far from over.
Si Ma Yi (9999) leads the second fight. Zhang He (9200), X? Huang (9400), Xia Hou Wei (8800), and Xia Hou Ba (9400) loyally fight along with him. This is a much more difficult battle. Even though the attacks of Zhang He and X? Huang are potent, Si Ma Yi remains to be the most dangerous. Wu troops should concentrate on him first. Do not use any tactics and pills. Wu generals must save them for subsequent fights.
Sun Quan, Zhou Y?, and others finally defeat Si Ma Yi. But the war is not over. Xia Hou Dun (9800) launches a third battle. Four excellent Wei officers follow him. They are Zhang Liao (9600), Pang De (9000), Guo Jia (9400), and Xun You (9200). Wu troops defeat them after a tough fight (take out Guo Jia and Xun You first in spite of punishing hits from the other three), thinking that they successfully conquer Wei. But Cao Cao himself emerges and leads the fourth consecutive battle. He (10000) leads X? Zhu (9800), Dian Wei (9600), Xun Y? (9600), and Si Ma Yi (9999). This is an extremely difficult fight. Si Ma Yi may form a Ba Gua. The worst matter is that Cao Cao launches arrow storms once every two rounds. Each Wu general loses approximately 4000 to 5000 soldiers. The arrow storms change to every round when three of Cao Cao?s generals (including Cao Cao himself) die!
I win on my third attempt. The key for a quick win in this fourth battle is to kill X? Zhu and Dian Wei with An Sha right at the beginning (Lu Xun and Zhou Y? cast them). Wu troops can then focus on Cao Cao and Si Ma Yi although the fight remains very difficult. We save SP and potions for this particular battle. Use An Sha, Ce Mian, revival tactics, and potions. Wu troops kill Cao Cao and Si Ma Yi in the midst of Cao Cao?s arrow storms; however, Wei has a final breath. Cao Cao?s son, Cao Pi (9999), leads the fifth consecutive battle. His generals Jia X? (9400), Cheng Y? (9000), Jiang Ji (8800), and Liu Ye (8600) launch an all-out effort in this fight. They are much easier than the previously battle, especially without the arrow storm. Since they have high intelligence, Wu troops need to successfully cast Ce Mian. Cao Pi eventually dies. Luo Yang finally belongs to Sun Jian after Wu generals fight hard. I cannot imagine what this final showdown is like in real life.
Wu generals enter Luo Yang. Save the game immediately, unless you want to fight these five battles again. Sun Quan and others rest at the inn because Sun Jian will not arrive until the next day. When they wake up from the inn, people tell Sun Quan that Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Cheng Pu have arrived at the palace. Music of peace and unification sounds. Sun Quan, Zhou Y?, Lu Xun, L? Meng, Lu Su, Tai Shi Ci, and Wang Meng meet Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Cheng Pu. Sun Jian thanks their hard fought conquest, especially at Luo Yang. The Sun family finally unifies China. After years of chaos, China can now have peace under Sun Jian and his family. Sun Jian leads us to tour China at the end.
Before I end this guide, I want to mention some secret generals in the Wei chapter. I do not find all of them. But I at least encounter two: Wang Yan Zhang, Han Qin Hu. Another person encounters Ye L? Chu Cai. Anyway, these secret people have approximately 30000 soldier counts. If our levels are lower than 60, these secret generals kill one Wu general in one strike. I defeat them by using Fu Sha and Xian Jing. When I reach higher levels, I can defeat them via regular attacks. Wu troops earn more than 10000 gold pieces after each victory; yet, they earn merely 3000 experience. In Chinese history, these generals actually live at least 600 years after the Three Kingdom Period. One more point, this mod does not have any secret bosses (unlike the Wei Mod).
I want to compliment the game makers for creating two new tunes. They make one for important battles (gates, citadels, castles, and the Shang Fang Valley) and they create a distinct tune for the final two Luo Yang fights. I enjoy the two new tunes a lot, drawing me into the fights much more than the original game and the Wei Mod. Since I spend a lot of time and energy in this game, particularly the final war, I hereby go off and have some rest at my ?inn.? Good luck in your game, especially the Luo Yang showdown. Please feel free to post your questions on the Lord Yuan Shu forum, especially if you are stuck. I shall try my best to answer.
End of the guide
October 3, 2006 at 4:42 am #21995Taishi CiParticipantThanks very much for these guides, Samuel! I will at some point try to complete both of them, although the Wu mod sounds very hard.
October 3, 2006 at 6:15 am #21996SamuelParticipantYou are very welcome. It is my pleasure to write these guides. I think that we are the first in providing English guides for these two mods.
The Wu mod is harder than the Wei mod, in my opinion. Final battles in Yi Ling, Cheng Du, and Luo Yang are extremely difficult. The Fuji fights is much easier than these three.
I would rate the Luo Yang showdown as the hardest battle of DOAE, DOAE2, DOAE2 Wei mod, and DOAE2 Wu mod. It is insane that we have to fight five consecutive battles. In additiion, Wei forces frequently shoot arrow storms at us in the fourth one. We lose 4000 to 5000 soldiers. I therefore strongly recommend you and others to reach maximum levels for the Wu mod.
October 4, 2006 at 12:59 am #21997thechieftainParticipantI haven’t made it to Lou yang, I still have to collect the items to withstand the thunder.
October 4, 2006 at 3:14 am #21998SamuelParticipantKeep working on it, Chieftain. I have written the key combination in my guide. You can depend on it whenever you are stuck.
All the best in Luo Yang (you need it). Please share your feelings and experiences in the Luo Yang war when you reach there.
October 6, 2006 at 8:41 pm #21999Zhang LuParticipantOh…SHIT. Samuel, I think you missed something. I just went back to your Atlantis, and going into the 2nd cave, I encountered a group of 5 generals, all over 15,000 soldiers. I’m not sure if you covered this battle, but if you did, I didn’t see it. This battle has the old DoaE1 Sima Yi battle music.
Here are 6 screenshots for your consideration.

They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.October 7, 2006 at 4:58 am #22000SamuelParticipantThanks, Zhang Lu. I missed this battle because I exited the cave sequence by using Suo Di. Once we pick up the Huo Shen helmet from the chest where we are supposed to get the Blood Seal, a man stands at the entrance of the third cave. If you use Suo Di to get out, go back in. We find a man standing beside a woman at the entrance of the third cave. The man is not present when we first enter. Sun Quan talks to him and this battle starts.
The first man is Zhao Kang Yin (20456), followed by Zhao Pu (19189), Cao Bin (18045), Di Qing (16997), and Yue Fei (15805). Zhao Kang Yin established the Song Dynasty. Zhao Pu was one of his minsters. Cao Bin and Di Qing were famous generals in early Song. Another post has discussed Yue Fei so I won’t go further.
I breezed through this battle because my level is at 99. Cast a Ba Gua and kill their soldiers little by little. I will post my screen shots on my DOAE2 screen shot album.
I am wrong saying that Wu mod does not have any secret boss. Can someone update this part into my guide?
October 8, 2006 at 10:28 pm #22001thechieftainParticipantI have a question…
I started the english version and used my Wu mod save state, it loaded up fine, But in my inventory I had an item cal Pinkleo, It is equipable but doesn’t appear to do anythin. Sammy, have you seen this?
