<))))>=============================================


Hi my name is Josh, if you are on the boards you would know my as
ReekerOfAwesome.
This is my first Faq/Walkthrough, so I'm excited about making it.
Im here to show you the basics and advances of Ling Tong. He is my favorite
character in the game. So thats why i decided to make it about him.

ATTENTION this may SPOIL the game for you. This is a warning so read at your
own risk.

You can bet that your work isnt on here. I have NOT looked at anyones
FAQ/ Walkthrough, guide of any kind of as long as I have been with gamefaqs.
So if there is any little detail that you think I took from your FAQ,
trust me it is coincidental.

This Guide is for Xtreme Legends and just DW. If you see XL its
Xtreme Legends. If you see DW5 thats just regular Dynasty Warriors 5


<))))>=============================================
2. Who is Ling Tong?
    5XLWho
<))))>=============================================

The following information is provided by Kongming's Archives:

Ling Tong, styled Gongji, hailed from Yuhang in Wu Prefecture. His father,
Ling Cao, was a daring man given to errantry. When Sun Ce first came to
power, Ling Cao followed his banner in his conquests, and would always fight
in the van, charging ahead of all the men. He was then garrisoned as Chief of
Yongping to subdue the Shanyue. During his tenure, evildoers dared not to
violate the law, and for that Ling Cao was promoted as Colonel who Routs the
Caitiffs. When Sun Quan took command, Ling Cao participated in the expedition
against Jiangxia. Upon reaching Xiakou [by boat], Ling Cao landed first, and
routed the enemy�s vanguard. He then sailed ahead in a light vessel but was
killed by a stray arrow.

Ling Tong was 15 years old at that time and was spoken of favorably by many
around. Considering that Ling Cao had given his life to the state, Sun Quan
appointed Ling Tong Major of a Separate Command and acting Colonel who Routs
the Caitiffs, and had him take over his father�s command. Once, he fought
under Sun Quan against the hill bandits. Sun Quan left after defeating the
garrison at Bao, leaving ten thousand men led by Ling Tong , Controller Zhang
Yi, and others to lay siege to the Ma garrison. Prior to the date set for the
attack, Ling Tong and Controller Chen Qin attended a banquet together. Chen
Qin was of a fiery temper; and because he was in charge of keeping order at
the banquet, he abused his powers and bullied everyone there, punishing
people not according to the rules. Ling Tong, upset at his insolence,
confronted him. Chen Qin angrily affronted Ling Tong and insulted even his
father Ling Cao. Ling Tong, though in tears, did not respond to the insult.
Everyone then left the gathering. Emboldened in his inebriation, Chen Qin
insulted Ling Tong again on the road. Ling Tong, not being able to bear it
any more, pulled out his sabre and struck Chen Qin. Chen Qin died in a few
days. When the designated day of the attack came, Ling Tong said, �Only by
death can I wipe out my transgression!� Thereupon, he rallied his men, and
charged ahead of them braving arrows and rocks. The side of the garrison
which he attacked was overcome immediately, and the other generals, roused by
his success, dealt the enemy a complete defeat. Upon the army�s return, Ling
Tong had himself bound and submitted to the discipline officer. Sun Quan,
impressed with his determination, pardoned him on the account of his
achievement.

In later times, Sun Quan went again to campaign against Jiangxia, and Ling
Tong served as the leader of the van. He rode in the same boat with tens of
his closest fighters, and would often sail ahead of the main force by tens of
li. They sailed into the western part of the river, and beheaded Huang Zu�s
general Zhang Shuo , and captured all his mariners. He returned to report to
Sun Quan, and at that they regrouped their men and marched forth, marines and
infantrymen together. In time, L� Meng defeated [Huang Zu�s] navy, and Ling
Tong was first to take the city. Therefore they won a great victory. Sun Quan
made Ling Tong Chief Commandant who Brings Forth Prowess, and had him repel
Lord Cao at Wulin along with Zhou Yu and others. Following that, Ling Tong
defeated Cao Ren, and was promoted to be a colonel. Although Ling Tong was
engaged in military affairs, he befriended virtuous men and received men of
talent. In viewing his wealth lightly and upholding the ways of friendship
and correct conduct, he showed himself to be a core minister of the state.?

He also fought under Sun Quan in the conquest of Wan, and was made General of
the Interior who Terrifies Criminals and designated Chancellor of Pei. After
conquering the three commanderies in the west along with L� Meng, he returned
to Yiyang and from there went on to Hefei in the position of Controller of
the Right Division. After Sun Quan decided the retreat and the van had
already left, Zhang Liao and other Wei generals stormed to the north of the
ford. Sun Quan sent someone to recall the van, but the troops had gone too
far and were unable to come to the rescue. Ling Tong leading three hundred of
his personal troops, charged into the encirclement and protected Sun Quan
until he was out of the melee. By that time, the enemy had already broken the
bridge, and only a plank was left on either side. Sun Quan spurred his horse
on and leapt over it. Ling Tong turned back to do battle, until all his men
were dead, and he himself was wounded all over. Having killed a few score of
enemy troops, he figured that Sun Quan had got away to safety, and so he
returned. The bridge was gone and the roads were blocked, so Ling Tong took
off his armour and waded out into the river. Sun Quan, having boarded a boat
by then, was overjoyed when he caught sight of him. Ling Tong, saddened by
the loss of every one of his closest men, was overtaken by a fit of grief and
wept uncontrollably. Sun Quan wiped his face with a corner of his sleeve, and
said to him, �Gongji, let those who have died go. As long as you are alive,
should you worry about not having men under you?� Thus he appointed him
Lieutenant-General, and granted him a command that was double the number of
his previous one. (1)

1: History of Wu: Ling Tong was heavily wounded, so Sun Quan kept him in his
boat and changed all his clothes. It was only due to good medicine of the
Zhuos that Ling Tong did not die of his wounds.
Around that time, there was someone who recommended Chen Xian to Sun Quan,
saying that he was more upright and virtuous than Ling Tong. Sun Quan
said, �It is sufficient for him to be as Ling Tong.� Afterwards, he summoned
Cheng Xian to see him at night. Ling Tong was in bed already when Cheng Xian
arrived, but on hearing his arrival, he put on his clothes, went out, and led
Cheng Xian in holding his hand. This was how kind he was towards [others],
not bearing ill thoughts toward them.

Ling Tong proposed that the people of the hills (I), being strong and brave
of nature, could be lured into their service by impressing them with military
might and potential rewards. Sun Quan thus ordered him to go east and carry
out the plan to take over the hill people. He sent ahead a decree to the city
that all of Ling Tong�s requests should be fulfilled first and reported to
him later. Since Ling Tong had been known to treat men well, men wished to
join him. He obtained some ten thousand elite troops. When he passed by his
home prefect, he walked into the local office there, and seeing the chief
clerks carrying registry records, he treated them with utmost
humility and respect. He also showed much love for all his relatives and old
friends. After he concluded his affairs there, he left, but on the way he
died of illness. He was 49. When Sun Quan found out about it, he sat up from
all night clenching at it, and wept uncontrollably. He fasted in mourning for
several days, and tears would cover his face whenever Ling Tong was
mentioned. Sun Quan then had Zhang Cheng write a eulogy for Ling Tong.

I: That is, the Shanyue, a mixture of native peoples of the region and exiled
Han families who formed clan-like organizations in order to resist Han
governance.
His two sons, Ling Lie and Ling Feng were both only a few years of age. Sun
Quan took them in into the inner palace, and took care of them as if they
were his own sons. When visitors came to pay respect to him, he would call
them out and show them off [to the guests], saying, �These are my tiger
cubs!� When they got to the age of eight or nine, he had Ge Guang teach them
to read, and every ten days he would have them practice horsemanship.
Considering Ling Tong�s former merits, Sun Quan gave him the posthumous title
of Marquis of Lieting, and assigned Ling Tong�s former troops back to the
sons. In later times, Ling Lie was dismissed due to some fault, and Ling Feng
in turn inherited Ling Tong�s noble title and military command.

3.a Fourth Weapon
     5XLFou
<))))>=============================================


Weapon: Dragon Fury
Base Attack:  36
Weight:  Medium
Charge:  16
Luck:  16
Speed:  19
Attack:  17
Life:  15

Stage:  Battle of Ru Xu Kou, 217 AD

Requirements:  After receiving the order to clear the central area, defeat Xu
   Huang and Xiahou Dun and capture the central area within 2 minutes.

Location:  At the central area of the map, south of the attack base that is
   in the northern part of the area.

My Method:

Before you start, besure you have a horse.

To get the order to clear out the central area, both Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun
must be in the center.  This means you should not defeat them before the
order has been given. What I lke to do is to take out all the bases around
the central area to
ensure safety. By that time Gan Ning will have cleared out most of the
central area, which
will cause the soldiers there to call out for reinforcements.  Both Xiahou
Dun and
Xu Huang will answer the call for reinforcements.Thats when you should head
toward the central area., Lu meng will then order an attack on the center.
When the message appears
across the screen for you to take the central area, defeat both Xiahou Dun
and Xu Huang.  Xiahou
Dun should be the closest, so defeat him first and then move to Xu Huang.
Be sure to defeat the both of them after the message appears. The weapon will
appear if you defeated the two target generals fast enough and after Lu Meng
says the
center has been captured and orders the next attack. By then the levels a
piece of cake.Just wait for Cao Cao and then defeat him to end the level.

5. My Item Set-up
     5XLIte
<))))>=============================================

These are the items I use for Ling Tong. I also strongly reccomend
that you use these items. Trust me, if you plan on winning with him
of Hard and Chaos mode, it is essential that you use these items.
Just in case you dont have these items, I have put the requirments,
and my method down for you.


<))))>=============================================
5a. Fire Orb
     5XLOrb
<))))>=============================================

First, and the most important item is the Fire Orb. Orbs can only
be unlocked on Hard or Chaos Mode. I suggest Hard mode. Either way
its going to be tough.

Effect:  Add fire element to attacks, which causes enemies to take damage as
long as they are on fire.

Stage:  Struggle for the Book, 183 AD

Requirements:  Within 3 minutes, open all three outer gates.

Location:  Left of the northeastern checkpoint at the very inner part of the
   castle.

My Method

Besure you have Red Hare beacuse three minutes isnt alot of time. Right
when the level starts head straight to the front gate. There you should
see Master Lao apear along with two lieutenants. The fastest way is to
unlock the first gate, then open the two other gates inside. Dont worry
about the lieutenants, go straight for Master Lao. If you unlock the gates
in time, the orb will be at the left of the northeastern checkpoint at the
very inner part of the castle.




<))))>=============================================
5b. True Way of the Musou
       5XLTru
<))))>=============================================

This one is simple. Just put it on Novice difficulty and then just
destroy. I recomend Lu Bu for this one. You can also stand by a
checkpoint and wait for the enemies to appear.


Effect:  Strength and duration of musou attack increases.

Stage:  Battle of Mai Castle, 219 AD

Requirements:  Get 1000 KOs.

My Method

C'mon. Is there really any method? Lu Bu + 10million Wu soilders = 1000 Kos.
Its that simple. Now if my 7 year old brother can do it, I know you can.


<))))>=============================================
5c. Tiger Amulet
      5XLTig
<))))>=============================================


You should already have this item in your inventory. Dont stress if you
dont.You
either just got the game, or haven't bothered with the Legend Mode.

5d. Demon Band
     5XLDem
<))))>=============================================


Effect: Extends the length of the Musou Rage

Stage: Battle of Jia Meng Gate

Requirements: Achieve a KO count of 200.

Location: Northeast corner of the map.

My Method:

6. Xtreme Mode Tips
     5XLXtr
<))))>=============================================


Xtreme mode, isnt the easiest, and it isnt the hardest either.
I just put down some tips. I will put down the prices to but the chracters
in the shop very soon.

1. Dont let Huang Gai on your team. Is bombs ar deadly to the enemies,
and you.
2. Be sure you save money. Dont just go blow it away the first 5 stages.
3. Build your country up as fast and quick as you can.
4. Be sure you can block very well
5. Dont waste your Musou. I only use it when im about to get hit.
6. The stone soilders are very easy to kill if you run them over with a horse.
7. The stage Nan Zhong, has poisom mist in the area, so dont try to go
there unless you have to.



<))))>=============================================
7. Legend Mode
    5XLLeg
<))))>=============================================

Battle of Ru Xu Kou

My Method:

You start off at the western side. Your first objective is to
take the western attack base while Gan Ning is in the center.
Continue heading north to Xu Huang. Defeat Li Dian in the process.
Fight with Xu Huang and defeat him.  Now, head towards the center
of the map and help Gan Ning.  Defeat sub generals that are around the area
and clear out the center.  This will cause Xiahou Dun to make his way to the
center
Charge to the main camp and defeat him there.  Gan Ning will
begin to make his way north.You can do 1 of 2 things. Co help Lu Meng and
Taishi Ci
with Zhang Liao, or go north to the enemies main camo and defeat Cao Ren.
Either way, you will need to charge into the main camp and fight

Cao Cao. Defeat Cao Cao, and then the level is over.
