Dynasty Warriors 4

• Three difficulties are available, Easy, Normal, and Hard.
• To attain the fastest route on Musou Mode, you must play a Musou that does not have a "Clear!" under it. You can play through a Musou Mode and still not get a "Clear!", but you must not save after the final stage. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove a "Clear!" if it is already there. You must destroy the save on the card and start fresh to remove it if one is there.
• There's a bug with the transition to an event which allows you to almost immediately skip it. It helps to mash on the start button, but that doesn't always do it because the timing is a bit precise. Here is an example of the bug. Whether or not you actually execute the bug is irrelevant, because transitions and events don't add to the stage time, it merely helps with real-time.
• Level 10 weapons give most charge attacks the attached Orb power without needing a full musou gauge.
• Currently these are the fastest known routes for Musou modes:
  • Shu: The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Battle of Hu Lao Gate, Battle of Bo Wan Po, Battle of Chi Bi, Campaign for Cheng Du, Battle of Yi Ling, Battle of Wu Zhang Plains, Battle of Xu Chang.
  • Wei: The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Battle of Hu Lao Gate, Battle of Guan Du, Battle of Chang Ban, Battle of Chi Bi, Battle of He Fei, Battle of Wu Zhang Plains, Battle of Cheng Du.
  • Wu: The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Battle of Si Shui Gate, Battle of Hu Lao Gate, Assault on Liu Biao, Unification of Jiang Dong, Battle of Chi Bi, Battle of He Fei, Battle of Yi Ling, Battle of Cheng Du.

Xtreme Legends

• Two additional difficulties were added, Beginner and Expert.
• The expansion adds Orb power to True Musou attacks with those with indirect attacks (Zhen Ji, Pang Tong, Sima Yi, etc). A level 4 Fire or Vorpal Orb will severely beat up on groups and officers, provided nobody blocks the attack, or the Blast Orb is equipped to pierce the blocking.
• Level 11 weapons have additional attributes which can greatly aid that character, and still have the benefit of a Level 10 weapon. Xiahou Dun's Level 11 weapon, Kirin Blaze, has attributes of Level 16 Tortoise Amulet, Level 20 Nanman Armor, Level 12 Seven Star Sash, and Level 18 Elixir. Elixir and Tortoise free up two potential item slots for better run preparation.
• There's a bug with enemy AI you can do to reduce almost everyone to spectators. Start a game on Hard/Expert difficulty, interim save while playing, soft reset (Start + Select) to the title screen, set the difficulty down to Beginner/Easy, start a new game of any kind, and say yes to the warning. After you start playing, soft reset again and continue your interim save. All enemies will have the health of Hard/Expert, but the AI of Beginner/Easy. This bug does exist on DW4.

Dynasty Warriors 5

• Level 4 weapons are generally the best weapons for any character, but with some persistence, you can acquire Level 3 weapons with random stats which could be better overall than the uniques. It depends on your play style and the stats.

Xtreme Legends

• The expansion adds the ability to earn scrolls after any task, which allow easier methods to power-up character stats and weapons (not uniques!). These methods include:
  • Exiting/dying out of Xtreme Mode.
  • Completing a stage in Free Mode/Musou Mode.
  • Completing Destiny Mode.
• The Battle of Guan Du on Cao Cao's side (alternate LQ version) can be completed in under 2 minutes, and on Chaos difficulty you will earn 6 scrolls. With any task, which scrolls you acquire are random.
