The 10 Most Difficult Feats to Accomplish in Dynasty Warriors

[@wiselkhzhang7853]

Fighting Lu Bu for me wasn’t bad. But a one on one duel with Lu Bu in DW4 Hu Lao Gate, that is still my nightmare.

This video really made me think. In no particular order; *Archers murder you in DW3XL hardest difficulty *Getting Zhou Tai lvl 11 weapon in DW4XL *Lu Bu 1v1 duel in DW4 Hu Lao Gate and Lu Bu in DW3 Hu Lao Gate stage *Playing Meng Huo DW3 without a horse or Speed Up boots.

Meng Huo & Zhang Fei walk so slwo in DW3 lol agree

[@wilsonng994]

You're not the only one. I always have trouble dealing with those annoying-ass archers in every Dynasty Warriors game. The only time I had trouble dealing with those annoying-ass archers was in DW3 since they will just shoot me for some reason.

Playing as any slow character back in the day was rough…I could feel myself aging rapidly trying to get anywhere on the map. God forbid you have to rescue anyone

Weapon hunting in the older games. I agree to some extent. At least some characters have their weapons unlocked in the easier levels and you can unlock them right away without needing to grind up their stats first. Can't say the same for DW4 where you absolutely HAVE to max out every character in order to unlock their 10th weapons.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Yeah they be challenging 😁😁

[@Coven_of_Hags]

The items were the bane of my existence as a kid. I completely agree regarding Dian Wei in 6, but everyone felt like him in 9 😂 from what I remember of the ZhenJi cutscene I only got it to play doing her specific story mode! If I remember correctly!

One tip if you try to defeat Lu Bu on Dynasty Warriors 4 if you run off to find health and accidentally lose Lu Bu sometimes his health returns to full. Had happen few times even when fighting him

[@arcomegis9999]

You also didn’t include playing the Nanman Stage in DW4. Even in easy difficulty the player can still lose. Your Allie’s lose morale easily and the 2 defectors at the start perish before that. You also need a fast mount to defend the commander, defeat the grunts and seal gates before they overrun the camp each time Meng Huo respawns. It’s official that your characters role here is literally a babysitter.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Yeah Nanman stages are always brutal

[@ShadowOfCicero]

That's the reason I've only ever beaten it as Liu Bei and Sun Ce. Over 700 KOs each even so, losing some or all of the bodyguards, respectively.

Also, it was this mission I flashed back to when playing Yukimura's last mission in SW3.

[@Dragonsking4]

It was always when the commander reached the poison marshes where you had to pick and choose what to do. The absolute worst!

[@danielgaines9935]

As someone who done most things that can be done in the Dynasty Warriors series as a whole, with 9 being the exception, I will 100% agree beating Lu Bu is ALWAYS one of the harder fights. And yes, I make it a point to beat him. Many times had to run to go find health to win lol.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

LOL nice! I gotta try him out on the hardest levels 😎😎

[@danielgaines9935]

@TheNightowlGaming best way I've found is to rush him. Use basic attacks to knock him off red hare. Then use mouso and basic attacks to hit him quickly. You lose some power over charge attacks, but keep up speed. Speed is better. He will still hit you. But you MUST be super aggressive. Sounds foolish but it works. When your health gets low, run. Run and get some health from a jar or so not fighting. You want to be quick about it. Then rush back and start the same process over again. You want high or max level weapons for higher difficulty fights with him. Otherwise you can't do enough damage to beat him.

[@danielgaines9935]

@@TheNightowlGaming oh the mouso attacks are best used when he goes to use one or to break a combo he has started. That's the best way to use those.

[@concludedhail40]

I played dynasty warriors 7 and I can say that compared to 8, it is a whole lot harder to collect all rare weapons not due to the extreme difficulty or the timed conquests trials, but the conquest item searching and THE QUIZ MASTER. The items you let your adjundant search for will always be random and even after 10, 20, or even 30 battles, he might find every other item but the item you told him to search for. Some of the items he can find are rare weapons and to this day and after 1000 battles, there is only one rare weapon left that the game refuses to give to me despite already beating most of conquest mode. As for the Quiz master, he has one rare weapon locked behind him that he will give to you after you answer ALL of his questions correctly. The problem is that for whatever reason, he likes to ask THE SAME QUESTIONS when you go to see him. Sometimes he will add a new question in with the ones you already answered and sometimes it will be questions you already answered the last time you speak to him, but the most asinine part about his questions is that YOU MUST COMPLETE CONQUEST MODE, STORY MODE, and LEGENDS MODE for him to ask all of his questions. Good god, I have no idea what they were thinking but after getting the same questions over and over and over, After fighting battle after battle after battle, I gave up and moved on to another game because at that point there was no way I would get the one question I probably have yet to answer to appear.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Jeeez is that DW7XL? or normal version? I remember getting all the achievements for 7 & 8 which included the weapons, but if it's that tough in DW7XL yeah I could see that

[@reinhardofavercland7448]

I think the Elusive Knave & Dauntless Conqueror stages in Raid Scenario from DW8 Empires deserve to be honorable mentions. While they aren't as difficult as fighting Lu Bu, they are still quite challenging due to the weapons' fixed attributes.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Are those like the top things for the quests? not familiar with the names

[@reinhardofavercland7448]

@@TheNightowlGaming They are akin to Challenge Mode in DW8 Xtreme Legends, but with increased difficulty. Elusive Knave's victory condition is to defend all allied bases without losing any of them until the timer runs out. The tricky part of this stage is that you only have 2 allies officers, and the enemy officers will attack all allied bases in large groups simultaneously. Dauntless Conqueror's victory condition is to defeat all enemy officers. The hardest part of this mission is that all enemy officers have the same hyper aura that Lu Bu in Hu Lago Gate has (can only be flinched with musou attacks). All enemy officers will chase you around the map, even those that are spawned away.

Wholeheartedly agree with #3. It is the only game in the series where I've never unlocked Red Hare.

I would imagine some of the things that made the older dw games harder back then would be a bit easier and more manageable in a modern take of those games, but at the same time I don't know that I would want a modern take per say as much as I would just love to have anything at all for the older games even just simply porting them.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

them getting reimagined I would not be opposed to..

[@ShadowOfCicero]

Technically you rated defeating Lu Bu #1, but in DW4, the rare weapon grind required doing it twice: once at Hulao Gate for Eclipse (the CAW pike) and once at Xiapi for the Kirin Fang (because yes, the actual achievement is to eliminate Diaochan). EDIT: Did I say twice? It was actually four times! I should have said you had to fight an ENRAGED Lu Bu twice for the aforementioned, fight one in Lu Bu's Revolt on the Dong Zhuo side that will probably be enraged for Horror, and finally fight a non-enraged Lu Bu in The Imperial Seal for the Savage Tiger. Also, I have to imagine Yueying's is a nightmare to pull off.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

I haven't gotten to yueying yet... is she that bad 👀👀

[@ShadowOfCicero]

@@TheNightowlGaming It's on the Nanman Campaign, and playing as Yueying means Zhuge Liang is your commander. I had to go look up what the secret objective was, and it was to get all of Zhuge Liang's strategies to work correctly and win both duels. You're getting Hero of the Three Kingdoms if you pull it off at all. One of the guides for this weapon boasts that he did it "in under an hour".

[@malifunnas1744]

item hunting in dw 4 and dw 5 is the best thing that happen in dynasty warriors game, especially in that day when there's no google, so u just play and than boom "a valuable item has been discovered" and u cant do it againt after that

Your no.1 reminded me of playing the opposite side of hulao gate dw6 but against all the main heroes on chaos mode. That's also highly difficult, my friend and I after shitloads of tries, eventually came through

[@TheNightowlGaming]

yeah thats definitely toughhh

I had a smart way to beat Lu Bu in DW5 I went to Lu bu’s position and Uses Musou rage and when he show up, I used a musou attack To musou juggle him before hyper mode triggered

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Yeah that is a pretty easy trick

[@mistyravine59]

I have played DW4, DW6, DW7, DW8, and DW9. DW9 is the game I enjoy playing the most among these; it's like a guilty pleasure. I just like the combat animation and smoothness of it so much. It also has the best graphics, best character design, and the best story cutscenes for me. The game has a lot of downsides, but in the end, I still like it a lot

[@Bastion70]

Yeah same I got hooked on 9 Empires too. Castle design was very good too especially Guan Du at the end.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Thats okay! Theres nothing wrong with that! I love DW6 when the majority hates it, so dont feel bad about it 😁😁

[@RedDusk369]

#1 would have to be trying to save all your allies in the battle of Yi Ling, Shu side on hard difficulty in DW3. Some one definitely f***ed up when designing that level cause your allies just don't stay alive long enough at all. And to add to that, the Wu generals have double the defense for no god damn reason other than to either piss you off or in spite of Lie Bei (justifiably) wanting revenge and think Wu is in the right so by the time you Kill a Wu general even with a 4th weapon, 2 or 3 of your ally generals across the map are already dead. And that is even with stopping the fire attack as it ends up not doing anything to raise your ally's moral or drop Wu's so there is basically no reward for it where stopping the fire attack in DW4, 5 & 8 have more incentive and swings the battle in you and your ally's favor so there ends up actually being an award for it

[@TheNightowlGaming]

sounds like a fun challenge!

[@aoihana1032]

Gotta preface this by saying I'm not too deep into 3, 4, 6 (and naturally 9), only played them a fair bunch compared to the rest Having recently started a new save for 5 and unlocked everything, only needing to grind for playing in Chaos, the hardest part across all DW main line is having the will to go through all the grind. There are shortcuts and cheeses here and there for various things especially in later titles, such as defeating Lu Bu (e.g. Induction/Velocity/Jubilation/Cyclone/Slash setup in 8) which makes it a YMMV depending on how hard you want to make it to be. Item and/or level grind in PS2 era titles though... Fourth or fifth weapons also depend on whether or not guides are in equation, as some of the unlock conditions are quite impossible to discover yourself Lu Xun on 5 was quite hard, but I did his fourth weapon on his first musou run without any prior grinding on Lu Xun himself with the following setup: Tiger Amulet 20/Herbal Remedy 20/Wind Scroll/Tortoise Amulet 18 (didn't have the fifth slot at the time, you can opt in for Green Scroll but gotta play way more carefully) with Ice Orb, no bodyguards. Cao Pi is way harder even on his nerfed Wu Zhang stage. Sorry for quite the long comment, but it's a good discussion video I'm compelled to talk about some of the points a lot

[@TheNightowlGaming]

No I love the long comments! Ill try out the tips and yeah its definitely a hard to list to make and depending on experience adn comfortability w the games, each feat will vary in difficulty, so I went off a general feel of what people say they have struggled w along with my interpretation :)

It’s quite tricky. Best to set the difficulty to beginner and play someone OP (I used Bao Sanniang LV150 with Velocity and Induction) and hope for the best of luck. It’s recommended to use save scumming if you fail. Note: It is a goal, so it’s required for the trophy “Goal Getter”

Getting the trophy “Ultimate Rating” in DW8XL is one of the hardest and most grindy trophies ever. You have to get an A ranking on all Free Mode stages, which the requirements to getting an A are vague. First, you need to get to a certain KO count. Second, you need to beat the stage in a time limit. These two will be different depending on the stage. And the most vague one is getting enough feats, which just means to do at least 2 of the listed goals (this means that you can also do the trophy “Goal Getter” with this trophy, another grindy trophy.) The first two requirements aren’t bad, but are annoying because the game doesn’t tell you how many KOs you need and how much time you have for an A until the end, so you have to do a lot of save and resetting. The feats are an added annoyance as some of the goals are a pain to get (ex: killing enemies with Storm Rush). And again the game doesn’t tell you how to get feats. All of this combined with the sheer amount of stages in Free Mode means you will be stuck doing it for a long time. As someone who Platinum this game, this trophy is even harder than the secret weapons trophy because at least those only require one thing and the requirement is listed. This trophy was a pain getting and I’m glad I got in the end. (Hope you enjoyed my essay) 😊

Attack of the cloned weapons

[@malifunnas1744]

and i already got red hare in dw6 and it can one shot the enemy officer in master difficulty, not works on chaos difficulty thought

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Thats dope

[@7F0X7]

How is the core gameplay of DW9? DW8 is great, but omg the combat just feels too 'floaty' and detached. I've never played any other musou game period with so much floatiness, and after playing the game for hundreds of hours to fully complete the story mode and ambition mode it's *hard* to go back to it. It feels like you're fighting cardboard props of enemies, not actual enemies.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

DW8 was definitely anime esque, DW9 is the same but worse cause every character feels the same

[@PlutonianPrince]

Don't know if you're reading this but there's a super easy method getting red hare in Dw6. you have to set your system clock time back...etc. Also, it's usually named Dusk Dream, Dawn Dream, Black Dream and ultimate Dream.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

set the time back and then what happens?

[@jaredcody6869]

Hardest things for me were I believe it was in 4 extreme legends or 5 extreme legends and doing the level for Lubu on the highest difficulty trying to get his very last weapon... that was easily the hardest battle to this day for me lol. It was also the first time I broke a controller in anger and frustration. I also found Ma Chao unlocking his last weapon as well very hard but that was more due to the ai and how much they would block your attacks was so frustrating.

[@TimBitten]

All of the damn Challenge Mode trials in every single game are IMPOSSIBLE

[@TheNightowlGaming]

havent delved too deep into those 👀👀

[@ItzYaBoiT3]

I done found my new favorite channel it’s hard finding ppl talking bout the game good bad whatever

[@TheNightowlGaming]

LETS GO! Welcome to the community my friend 💪

[@Dragonsking4]

Now that you mention Dynasty Warriors 6 and red hare, I don’t think I have it after all these years

[@TheNightowlGaming]

lol right, so tough

[@dantesparda4493]

I totally remember my friend being so pissed I got Red Hare within 1 month of playing DW6 while he had to spend 6 years (irony right?) to get it, so he would come over to my house just to play while having the red hare mount 😂

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Lol thats insane!

[@CaseyKoplinCk13]

I Love DW9, playing through the game on a 6th character, I enjoy it

[@TheNightowlGaming]

and theres nothing wrong with that! Thats absolutely okay! it was just a personal jab

[@Yelan_Wife]

Defeating Lu Bu on dw 5 and 6 are Very easy even at chaos. On Dw5 you just need to juggle him with C5 while using fire orbs. On Dw6 you just need Flash on your weapon then do full musou and hes good as dead. Also playing as meng huo is even more difficult than Dian Wei on dw6 XD

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Meng Huo isnt in DW6, oh you mean empires & true 5 & 6 are easy probably, but what about the other ones.. 😈😈

[@steezeaustin316]

You’re right about DW9. I couldn’t even finish a story with any of the characters.. it’s sad cause I was really wanting the open world to work and it just doesn’t unfortunately

[@TheNightowlGaming]

yeah its a rough one

[@Poiyokai]

6 lubu the easiest I beat him lvl 1 zhaoyun just spam charge attack on him. My worst experience is lubu in dw4 took many retry keep dying to his grab.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

big boi

[@RikouHogashi]

btw im a Old School DW3 starting fan of the series so im glad to finally find a good DW-centric channel in this (btw DW3's Superior is still one of the series best feel good songs though Arena is up there too)

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Haha glad you're enjoying the content! DW till I die!

[@MyselfandComics]

I’m lucky to get 10 missions on extreme mode lol. But I haven’t heard of the save method before 🤔

[@TheNightowlGaming]

The SAVE method 😎

[@MyselfandComics]

@@TheNightowlGaming 🤔I must try it

[@tonys9397]

Killing Lu Bu in 4 definitely

[@TheNightowlGaming]

100% mosnter

[@keyblademasterclark]

Honorable mention being playing through the Battle of Tong Gate in DW8. Your options for playing through that stage are rough. Wang Yi, Xu Zhu, and Yuan. Give me Zhang He or Cao Pi! SOMEONE who can do a good amount of damage.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

haha for sure

[@dav2428]

What about beating any level without taking a single hit.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Yeah that could be one! But on easy or even hard with a good character, I think its pretty easy

[@dav2428]

Ohh ok. Also depends on the game I'm assuming.

[@lecoutcritique8854]

DW3 Xtreme legend weapons are actually pretty easy, and doable if you go using gan ning as your second char (but main char used) : his musou either is used to gain a but amount of time moving or one shotting officers. back in the days on PS2 I farmed them playing solo with 2 controler and split screen... one difficulty was keeping my underleveled "first character" alive :D

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Lool for sure !

[@Kijinn]

The biggest difficulty were the time limits on some of the tasks, plus the fact that occasionally you basically had to be in more than one location at the same time. I absolutely needed the help of a friend in some of those cases. Hard to believe someone might have managed those alone, regardless of skill level. But, certainly, a few of the weapons were pretty easy to get. Just not all of them.

[@misakikoko4500]

Fighting enemy officers in DW6E is already hard when you carry over weapons. The enemy officers will have the upgraded versions on their weapons if you used them in a previous playthrough. I never found Red Hare in DW6, it was the first thing that came to me from seeing the title.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

officer mode on chaos be ruff.. and yeah DW6 red hare is rough to get

[@fiestofelix4455]

I got Red Hare in DW 6 and I can confirm... It was 100% luck

[@TheNightowlGaming]

LOL nice les gooo!

[@josephjoestar995]

Lu Bu combo stunlocking your back as you tried to run away 😭😭😭😔🙏

[@TheNightowlGaming]

100% bro got that reach

[@flamesmrk847]

Yueying's level 10 weapon in DW4 was a nightmare. Also, my mom was able to find 3 Red Hares in DW6 special, which is almost impossible to achieve.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Thats insane, thats what I keep hearing about Yueying I gotta try it

[@RedTank100-f9m]

Dw 9 5 and 6 is my favorite they could have added better stuff for 9 and 6 but i like the battlefield I didn’t enjoy 7-8 at all it was gay

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Lol thats totally fine!

[@yadirect]

Rare/unique Weapons on 3,4,5 is easy to me compared to Items Hunting Especially that Damn Unique Horses / Red-Hare on 6, took me 10 weeks back in the day 😂

[@TheNightowlGaming]

lol jeeez

[@SatoshiKenji]

Not a Dynasty Warrior game, but unlocking Orochi X in Warriors Orochi 2 is hell for me. Since the requirement is to beat all stages in Dramatic Mode, you need to unlock all the stages, where some of the also have specific requirements, like maximizing proficiency of certain character and such.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

damn yeah i can imagine that taking some time

[@JEFFALITY]

I love Dynasty Warriors 9 and playing with my wife or just exploring and building up my gear.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Thats awesome! And theres nothing wrong with that!

[@JEFFALITY]

@TheNightowlGaming Much appreciated. Love your work btw.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

@@JEFFALITY 🙏🙏

[@Shadynasty91]

Lu bu at hu lao gate in dw 3 around 2004 was my first real nightmare

[@TheNightowlGaming]

100%

[@musicfriendly12]

Bro really said "Enjoy DW9" 😂

[@TheNightowlGaming]

it be like that sometimes 😂

[@MrNone-d5s]

#1 Finish Dynasty Warriors 9😂

[@TheNightowlGaming]

😎😎

[@michel4rthur]

Getting one hit by Lu Bu in 2-8 is like getting sniped by the sweatiest player using the Modern Warfare 2 Intervention sniper rifle in multiplayer. That, noob tubes with One Man Army or the CoD 4 M16 with stopping power.

[@TheNightowlGaming]

haha for sure

[@arvaron4154]

Stage Chan Ban I once reached 9999K kills in DW3. From then on it doesn't count anymore. Completed map done, leaving only 2 outposts in the north. And then fought the soldiers there in between. Since my own troops cannot defeat the enemy leader, I had all the time in the world. 😅

[@TheNightowlGaming]

Nice!

[@this_guy_here3090]

Searching for lu bu red hare was tough back in the day

[@TheNightowlGaming]

so tough
