Introduction 5XLInt <))))>============================================= 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. Ling Tong's weapons 5XLWea <))))>============================================= Weapon: Wood Nunchaku Base Attack 4 Number of attacks 4 Weapon: Iron Nunchaku Base Attck 8 Number of attacks 5 Weapon: Rising phoenix Base Attack 12 Number of attacks 6 <))))>============================================= 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. Time Log: 0�26.71: Western attack base falls. 1�00.68: Southern attack base falls. 1�17.63: Zhang Liao defeated. 1�27.13: Zhang Liao is pulling back. 2�32.31: Zhang Liao has arrived. 3�41.33: Gan Ning was successful in putting the Wei Forces in disorder. 3�55.91: The other Wei armies are moving toward the central Wei Army. 3�58.46: Zhang Liao defeated. 4�04.70: Zhang Liao is pulling back. 4�18.53: Xiahou Dun�s unit has halted its advance. 4�34.96: Yu Jin defeated. 4�37.51: Capture the area where the central Wei Army is positioned. 4�58.38: Xiahou Dun defeated. 5�12.65: Zhang Liao has arrived. 5�40.31: Li Dian defeated. 5�51.03: Xu Huang defeated. 6�02.46: Fourth weapon discovered. 6�05.01: Central Wei Army�s position captured <))))>============================================= 4. Ling Tong's Attacks 5XLAtt <))))>============================================= Ling Tong's Attacks are very fast, but his down fall is the mounted attacks.

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.

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 Ren some time. When Cao Ren is defeated, Cao Cao will appear. H You can defeat them if you would like or you can just face off with Cao Cao. Defeat Cao Cao, and then the level is over. <))))>============================================= 8.
