Easy maximum stats
In free mode, select the Battle of He Fei Castle, as the Wu Forces, under the normal difficulty setting. Start by taking out the officers outside the first gates. One of them drops a Life +20. Next. kill Xu Huang for an Attack +8. Then, go around the right side, killing all officers, sub-generals, and anyone with a name. You will always get +4 power-ups. The officer on the horse drops a weapon. Collect it. Go through the "security system". You will eventually meet Cao Ren. Kill him for a +8 Defense. then go up and kill Xu Zhu for +8 Attack. At the left of this platform is a crate with a weapon box in it. Go through the gate and take the path to the left. The officer there has a +8 Defense. Then, cut across to the right and kill Sima Zhao for a +4 Defense. Next, take out Sima Yi for a +8 Defense. Finally, complete the level by killing Cao Pi. This will max out the stats for the character selection screen, but only half-way for the action selection screen. You must use the level 20 amulets to max this out. Also, this is not the best place to use a fresh character. Get a little boost by annihilating the Yellow Turban Rebellion level under the easy difficulty setting a few times to get some weapons and some basic stat boosts.
Cut watchtowers in half
Certain characters have Jump Charge attacks (X + Triangle) that send them high in the air (for example, Jiang Wei and Yue Ying). use this move on a watchtower. The top of the tower will fall off and the bottom will stay standing for a few seconds.
Attack seven times
Mount a horse with a spear user and their third or fourth weapon. Attack five times than press your charge attack immediately after your fifth time.
Delayed weapon and valuable item messages
Sometimes the special message will not appear immediately after you complete everything required to obtain the item or message. If you must complete something before a special attack, you will probably have to wait until the attack occurs for the message to pop up. Before giving up on an item or weapon, double check the battle log to see if you missed the message.
Stealing a horse
In any level with any character, use the following trick if you do not have a horse or your heath is low. Run to a officer or general with a horse. Do a jump attack or a jump charge attack and knock off the enemy off the horse. Get on the horse and ride away.
Unique combos
Each character has his or her own unique combos. However, they use the same buttons to perform their unique combos or moves. For example, Xu Huang's combos are as follows. Press Square until he performs his first attack, then immediately press Triangle. Press Square until his second attack, then press Triangle. Repeat the same process for his third, fourth, then fifth attack. Do not forget to press Triangle after every attack to successfully complete the combo.
Burning in the air
When fighting someone difficult, such as a general or the Boss of the stage, set them on fire with a charge attack or equipped item. It eats away at their health until they hit the ground. If you set them on fire and continuously juggle them in the air with an attack, the fire will keep depleting their health.
Easy Musou mode completion
This trick requires two controllers. To complete a Musou mode with a character you do not like, have a friend play as that character with you controlling another character. Have your friend remain safe near the main camp while you go out to kill the commander. Do this with all the levels to complete the Musou mode. You can also use both controllers yourself. With controller one, take them to the main camp. Then use controller two and complete the level.
