Questions and Answers. 21. Credits and Thanks. Player must play hardmode or over to be able to unlock 4th weapons. Unlike previous SW Games, these weapons are easier to get but they do still provide a challange. Some weapon requirements require you to complete missions while keeping your allies alive. This can be a challange as they die quite easy. You are going to have to keep your morale higher than the enemies. . . More will be explained below. . . ============================================================================ 1.Yukimura Sanada SWYS ============================================================================ Assault on the Mid-West Kill all Generals and Sub-generalsin 20 turns except Nobunaga with Kanetsugu Naoe and Yasumasa Sakakibara alive. You have to kill all generals and subgenerals yourself. If any officer kills them, you will not get the weapon. Try getting an A in every mission you are given. Don't foeget to use haste, boost or paralyse if you have them. This will make things much easier for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 2.Tadakatsu Honda SWTH ============================================================================ Ieyasu's Volition - Dissension in Shinano Kill 1000 officers and you will get the precious item report. This is simple, but time consuming. Leave a few majors alive so they take o- ver allied bases. This way, it will make it easier to kill enemies. Also take advantage of the "Kill as many enemies as you can in >insert time<" missions. Another thing is to move 1 square at a time. This will also give you the chance to kill more enemies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 3.Okuni SWOk ============================================================================ Goemon and Okuni - Flight from the capital Find all 15 treasure houses in 15 turns. Then defeat Hideyoshi when he shows up. You will get this weapon automatically. This is a really hard one. It is based on luck. The formation of the treasure houses change each time. Here are the 3 formations: The shape of a heart. A "G" shape. A "W" shape. It is based on luck on luck which one you get. Try getting the rank "A" and move 3 squares. This way you may get 3 treasure houses in 3 squares. I cannot give you much of a stratagey really because this is based entirely on luck. Try your best and hope you'll win. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 4.Oichi SWOi ============================================================================ The oda's conquest - The battle of Anegawa WITHOUT using Valve Charm, defeat Kazumasa Isono and Kagenori Asakura and you will get the precious item report. Note: You DON'T have to defeat these two yourself. The two main camps can do the job for you if you have enough Rally Charms or damaging charms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 5.Ina SWI ============================================================================ Ieyasu's Volition - Revolt at Mikawa. Defeat these generals in this order and below 13 turns: 1)Nagateru Udono 2)Sessai Taigen 3)Yasutomo Asahina 4)Ujizan Imagawa 5)The 4 backup generals,in a clockwise order from the top left. 6)If 2 or more generals are in a same battle, you still have to follow the orders. 7)Special Item Report. Not much of a strategy here... its simple. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 6.Magoichi Saika SWMS ============================================================================ Magoichi Saika - Escape from Kyushu Take the CENTRAL port to the other half of the map (where the cannons located). Defeat every enemy officer except Keiji's unit, INCLUDING subofficers. Take out the Cannons using the Sabotage Charm as well. During the early course of the stage, you'll obtain a Breach Charm. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use it to open the side gates. You'll need it to get to the special weapon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 7.Keiji Maeda SWKM ============================================================================ Keiji and Magoichi - Encounter in the Northwest Use Valve within 4 turns, defeat every enemy officer (you don't have to defeat them by yourself)EXCEPT Masashige Jojo and Kanetsugu Naoe,defeat Kenshin Uesugi by yourself and you will obtain the special weapon automatically. Keep doing the usual stuff. . .Cureall, heal, rally or whatever you can do to boost strength. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 8.Goemon Ishikawa SWGI ============================================================================ Goemon and Okuni - Dance at Shijogawara You need to defeat the respawned Miscreant units 10 times! Then you will get a special item report. This is easy. Miscreants are slow and easy so you shouldn't have a problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 9.Kunoichi SWK ============================================================================ Rise of the Takeda - Costly Passage Overtake the strongholds in all 3 islands within 10 turns! Then you will get a special item report. Boost 3, haste is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! also get an "A" in every mission, you will be able to move 3 squares. Another is to have bodyguard's who start you off with either haste or boost 3, this will make it easier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 10.Shingen Takeda SWST ============================================================================ Rise of the Takeda - Shigen's Pilgrimage Make a COUNTERCLOCK-WISE passage and capture each Temple, defeat Motochika Chosokabe WITHOUT the temples being overtaken by enemies and you will get a precious item report. Use rally to boost defenses and you should be Ok if you follow the instructions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 11.Hanzo Hattori SWHH ============================================================================ Enter the Tokugawa-Iga Resistance defeat Yoshinari Mori, Kazumasu Takigawa, Ukon Takayama and Noh within 8 turns defeat Kotarou Fuuma who appears afterwards and you will get the precious item report (weapon is located below 1 and right 2 of Noh's initial position) This easy. Use thunder, fire or rally if it helps you to make it easier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 12.Yoshimoto Imagawa SWYI ============================================================================ Strength from Above - Escape from Anegawa Let Kenshin and Date escape within 20 turns and you will get a precious item report. There is a high risk of either 1 of them being defeated so rush to their side using boost or haste.Or you could use rally on them so they defeat the officers. You have to be quick and fast. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 13.Ranmaru Mori SWRM ============================================================================ Mitsuhide and Ramaru - Assault on Kyushu Defeat every enemy general at least once (total of 6) before enemy commander shows up and you will get a precious item report. Once again, you have to be quick. Make use of Boost and haste to reach the generals quickly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 14.Masamune Date SWMD ============================================================================ Strength from Above - Assault on the North Activate all 4 Avalanche Charms within 12 turns EASY! just keep at a fast pace and follow instructions to the battle ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 15.Kenshin Uesugi SWKU ============================================================================ Strength from Above - Assault on the East defeat Ujimasa Hojo and Ujiteru Hojo within 10 turns, defeat Narimasa Nagano who appears afterwards and you will obtain it automatically. *Yawns* Once again, use Boost or Haste to increase speed and to make it easier ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 16.Mitsuhide Akechi SWMA ============================================================================ Akechi and Ranmaru - Assault on Sanyo Force Takakage Kobayakawa to escape within 15 turns and you will get a precious item report. To make Takakage Kobayakawa escape, you need to overtake all enemy strongholds. Remember to use your charms to make things easier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 17.Noh SWN ============================================================================ Mr. and Mrs. Oda - Nobunaga's Flight Defeat Goemon ishikawa and capture every stronghold! Then defeat Magoichi Saika and a precious item report will appear. I suggest defeating Goemon and then capture the stronghols in a clock-wise direction. That is the route i took to get it. Also there is a high chance of Nobunaga dying so use rally on him. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================ 18.Hideyoshi Hashiba SWHHA ============================================================================ Kyushu Campaign Keep all your allies alive until Yoshihisa Shimazu appears. The weapon appears at H7. Rally is essential for this battle. Use it whenever possible when your allies are in danger of being routed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= 19.Nobunaga Oda NWNO ============================================================================= Northern campaign Kill either Yukimura Sanada or Kenshin Uesugi with ALL your allies alive. Rally is important. Follow the same strategy as the above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ===================== Questions and Answers ===================== Q.I can't get >Insert characters name here< 4th weapon?
