(From the in game biography)

A young songstress unequaled in beauty as well as song and dance.  Raised by
Wang Yun as his own daughter.  For the sake of Wang who is fearful of Dong Zhou
and Lu Bu, she gets close to both of them, and succeeds in tearing their
relationship apart, with Lu Bu later killing Dong Zhou.

**Refer to Level 11 Weapon Unlocking

(Level 11 Weapon does not apply to DW4, it only applies to DW4XL)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Level 10 Weapon Unlocking
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Difficulty must be at the level of "Hard" or higher

Do not be detected by enemy guards, do not let Lu Bu appear, defeat Dong Zhou,
and defeat any 4 of Li Ru, Guo Si, Li Jue, Wang Fang, Fan Chou, Xu Rong, Zhao
Cen, Dong Min, Niou Fu, and Li Meng.


(The information above is from "Muni Shinobu's" Level 10 Weapon FAQ)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Level 11 Weapon Unlocking
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Only applies to DW4XL)

Note: Difficulty must be at the level of "Expert"

Name: Muse
Map:  Wan Castle
Restrictions:  No bodyguards, no items
1. Do not let enemy spot you and reach Dong Zhuo.
2. Kill Dong Zhuo with more than 10 minutes left on the clock.
3. Defeat Hua Xiong to open the exit within 10 minutes from game start.
4. Level 11 weapon message.
5. Run to the escape.

Note:  It sounds easy, but it's very hard in fact.  Two-player trick
recommended.  The second player can stay at the beginning spot (also the escape
spot) while Diao Chan goes in to kill Dong Zhuo.  When Hua Xiong appears, let
the second player defeat him.  Then wait for the level 11 message before
escaping.
Note:  You may let yourself be detected.  But then you'll need to fight Lu Bu
and that takes time.  So it's easier just to hide from the patrols.

Weapon Stats:
lv 12 dragon amulet, lv 15 SSS, lv 20 elixir, lv 14 herbal remedy


(The above information on the Level 11 Weapon is directly from
"The Left Wings" Level 11 Weapons Guide)

Assassinate Dong Zhou:

(This is not for the easiest way through the level, this is for maximum stat 
boost.)

From the start of the level try to sneak past the guards, if they see you, you
will have to fight Lu Bu.  Once you have made it to Dong Zhou's chamber you just
kill him.  Once you kill him the castle exits will be closed off, so you
literally need to fight for your life.  All of the directions that I am about to
give you are to be used on the in game map, so if I say go North one room, you
look at your map, find the north exit, and go there.  So go north until you come
to a "T" intersection, head west.  This will lead you to Gou Si's Unit, defeat
him and Li Ru then head north two rooms and Dong Min's Unit will be there,
defeat him and Li Meng.  Head west after that Hua Xiong's Unit will be there,
defeat him and Hu Zhen.  After their defeat head west two rooms and fight Fan
Chou, Li Jue, and Wang Fang.  After their defeats head south until you run into
Niou Fu, Xu Rong, and Zhao Cen.  After their defeats head back to the Castle
entrance by going all the way North, West 2 rooms, then North 1 room.

Dim Sum Location: Located in the bottom right room on the in game map, it is in
a clay pot.

Musou Wine Location: Located in the bottom left room on the in game map, it is
in a clay pot.
