(Only applies to DW4XL)

Name: Shade
Map:  east bank of Chi Bi
Restrictions:  No bodyguards, no items

1. Follow the northern cliff as you get off the boat you begin at.  As you
reach a wooden gate, follow the left side of the wall.
2. Soon you'll get a message that tells you that there's a gate captain ahead. 
Then another message tells you to make some noise to attract his attention. 
You drop a bomb on the ground next to the left wall and then run like hell to
the wall on right side.
3. When the gate captain hears the explosion of your bomb, he'll go to the
 bomb site.  You go to the gate he was guarding and the door with 
automatically open.
4. After passing the gate, you must switch between the big map and small map 
to know exactly where the enemies are.  At the time, Lu Meng will move south
towards you.  Hide and move slowly towards the top left corner of the area,
right next to the water, where a couple of pots are.
5. When Lu Meng passed, you can move faster.
6. Soon you'll get a message that says that the gate guards are slacking off. 
Switch to the small map and check closely the movements of the troops.
7. When the gate captain gets far away to the right side of that gate,
carefully move to the door and it'll open.
8. Rush to the exit, ignoring Gan Ning if he discovers you (try to reach the
exit while the "Gan Ning discovers you" message is still on the screen).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
9) Legend Mode Walkthrough
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(Only applies to DW4XL)

Skirmish at Chi Bi:

Starting out with red health, not a great sign.  Try to sneak by the enemies,
but if they see you it is ok if you attack and defeat them, the only side effect
is that you will get a very low score at the end of the level.

For this level there is no real way that I can give you a walkthrough, so I
will provide you with general tips:
-Move fast but cautiously
-Stay against the sides of the level
-If you get a message pop up on the screen be sure to read it

Dim Sum Location: The big middle area of the map, where Lu Meng and Ling Tong
are located.

Musou Wine: On the left of the level, at the very first wooden gate/fence you
come by.

11) Recommended Items
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Harness -
Shadow (you surely want to be able to escape when your being pounded by
enemies, this lets you do just that, the harness keeps you on the horse,
even when you  get attacked.)

Orb -
Vorpal (Nothing can be better than a possibility of an instant kill.)

Item Slot:

1 - Peacock Urn (Extra Life is essential.)

2 - Tiger Amulet (Extra Attack is always helpful.)

3 - Tortoise Amulet (Sometimes you have to take damage, this lowers enemy
attack effectiveness.)

4 - Either Dragon Amulet (Makes your Musou Gauge larger) or Wind Scroll
(Larger Attack Range.)
