Most Efficient Power-Up Level hints and tips for Dynasty Warriors 5

Most Efficient Power-Up Level

Guan Yu's escape, on Guan Yu's team. Normal setting.

If you do this, then you receive level 4 of every item you receive from a general (defense or attack), except for life +10, which you receive from Xiahou Dun. There is also a musou +10 before the third gate in one of the pots on the right hand side of it, and in the many boxes are many weapons and items of varying greatness as you keep doing the level. (If you combo the generals for 23 hits or more when they're dead. Then the items will be level 8 rather than level 4.)

Also, by virtue of it being Guan Yu's escape, the level is fairly swift and so you power up much quicker.

You can do the level on hard and receive level 8 items from the generals even if you do not combo them, I believe the musou and life is also +20 and the weapons are, obviously, better calibre. However, it does take longer and is harder, so I wouldn't recommend it for anybody with characters who are not powered up.

The conditions for the battle are that we lose if Guan Yu or the carriage is destroyed, and we win if Guan Yu reaches the escape point. He does not get through the final gate, however, until Xiahou Dun is defeated, and so he doesn't complete the level overly swiftly before you've had the time to get all that you want. However, he will remain where there are any people in his path, so it's wise to kill all people on the level, doubly so because you get more points for the controlled character also. And the carriage does progress as soon as each gate opens...irritatingly.

That's all!

Chaos can be a powerful ally...
