Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 6.2: Orochi Story B

Chapter 9: Battle of Dingtao 定陶の戦い (uses DW8XL map)

Orochi Army vs. Wu Army Allied characters: Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Wang Yuanji Enemy characters: Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, Lu Meng, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Xiaoqiao, Zhu Ran, Taishi Ci, Huang Gai, Ding Feng, Zhou Tai, Lianshi

Unlocked characters: Sun Quan, Sun Shangxiang, Zhou Tai, Lianshi

Upon hearing that the Orochi Army would attack Hefei, Sun Quan escaped Wu with a number of officers and made camp in Dingtao. However, they were confronted by Sima Yi, who had forseen this and asked Orochi to allow him to deal with them.

Beginning from the southeast, Sima Yi leads his army towards Dingtao Castle with the intention of occupying Dingtao, Juye and Linqiu (廩丘, aka Lu Bu’s main camp in DW8XL) Castles. As they approach Dingtao Castle, Zhu Ran will attack the Orochi Army with firearrows; his defeat will allow the Orochi Army to continue advancing.

Taishi Ci, Huang Gai and Xiaoqiao will be defending the three castles. Sima Yi will suspect something amiss with the Wu Army; there are three fire attack units that the player needs to defeat in order to foil Lu Xun’s strategy. Lu Meng is on the path that is adjacent to the centre path out of Dingtao (turn left and then turn right just as you enter the corridor to Linqiu), Lu Su is on the path behind Linqiu Castle, and Ding Feng is on the path behind Juye Castle. Occupying all three castles before defeating the respective fire attack units will cause them to be set on fire.

In any case, Sima Yi’s army will continue north towards the Wu main camp, but as they approach the exit doors, the area is set on fire as ambush units appear and attack them; Lu Xun had anticipated this and focused his efforts on this attack using the fire attacks on the three castles as a feint. Defeat Lu Meng, Lu Su and Ding Feng (again) to continue.

Lu Xun will unleash a rockslide as you head up the northern path. Defeat him to stop the rockslide.

Sun Shangxiang and Lianshi will be the final obstacles to the main camp before you confront Sun Quan and Zhou Tai. Defeat Sun Quan to win the battle.

Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang are informed of their father and brother’s surrender at Hefei, leaving them with no choice but to surrender to the Orochi Army.

Chapter 10: Battle of Edo Castle 江戸城の戦い

Orochi Army vs. Tokugawa Army Allied characters: Orochi, Sun Ce, Daqiao, Sun Shangxiang Enemy characters: Ieyasu Tokugawa, Hanzō Hattori, Ina, Masamune Date, Kojūrō Katakura, Naotora Ii, Naomasa Ii, Yoshishige Satake, Yoshiaki Mogami, Yoshihiro Ashina

Unlocked characters: Ieyasu Tokugawa, Hanzō Hattori, Ina, Naotora Ii, Masamune Date, Kojūrō Katakura, Naomasa Ii

Sun Ce is one of the officers sent to Edo Castle to defeat the Tokugawa. The Orochi Army attacks the castle on four sides.

Daqiao starts on the east side of Edo Castle alongside Sun Ce while Sun Shangxiang starts from the south side. Naotora Ii will appear with Ina’s sneak attack unit alongside Naomasa Ii.

After Ieyasu and Hanzō are defeated inside Edo Castle, Masamune will reappear again for a third time with more reinforcements. Defeat Masamune to win the battle.

Chapter 11: Battle of Hiketa 引田の戦い (uses SW4 map)

Orochi Army vs. Chōsokabe-Mōri Army Allied characters: Masamune Date, Keiji Maeda, Matsunaga Hisahide, Munenori Yagyū, Kojurō Katakura, Sun Wukong Enemy characters: Motochika Chōsokabe, Motonari Mōri, Koshōshō, Gracia, Takakage Kobayakawa, Magoichi Saika,Okuni, Goemon Ishikawa

Unlocked characters: Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa

With most of Japan’s armies subjugated or driven off by the Orochi Army, the remaining clans of western Japan banded together to form a resistance against Orochi. Masamune Date is sent to quell one of those resistance armies, facing off against the Chōsokabe and Mōri clans in Hiketa, supported by the Saika Renegades.

The Orochi Army arrives on two ships from the east and northeast. The enemy officers will begin advancing from the northwest and from Sogō and Hiketa Castles. As you defeat the enemy officers, they will reappear after a little while and even worse, some allied officers will be entranced by some sort of spell. Kojurō works out what is happening and decides to put a plan into action. Assist him as he heads to the northwestern garrison, where he will act entranced in order to lure Koshōshō into opening the gates. Defeat Koshōshō, allowing your allies to return to normal and the enemy officers to be defeated.

Noticing the front gates to Toramaru Castle not opening, Kojurō suggests that they ambush the castle from behind. As the Orochi Army heads into the western garrison to fight the Mōri officer there, Okuni and Goemon appear to reinforce the garrison before retreating upon their defeats.

Upon entering Toramaru Castle, Motochika and Motonari along with Gracia and Takakage have disappeared; as their officers attack them, Motochika and Motonari appear on the Orochi Army’s ships in an attempt to attack them from behind. Hisahide orders his troops to detonate the explosives on the ships which will slow their advance. At the same time, Sun Wukong arrives with reinforcements on a ship in the southeast and Okuni and Goemon will appear again in Hiketa Castle. Defeat Motochika and Motonari to win the battle.

Motochika, Okuni and Goemon manage to escape. Motonari concedes his loss and peacefully surrenders to the Orochi Army in the hopes of maintaining the stability of the Mōri while also hoping to meet all the different heroes of China and Japan.

Chapter 12: Battle of Yanagawa 柳川の戦い (uses SW4 map)

Orochi Army vs. Toyotomi Army Allied characters: Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Su, Guan Xing, Sima Shi, Daqiao Enemy characters: Mitsunari Ishida, Yoshitsugu Ōtani, Takatora Tōdō, Ginchiyo Tachibana, Muneshige Tachibana, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Toyohisa Shimazu, Musashi Miyamoto, Kojirō Sasaki, Sakon Shima

Unlocked characters: Mitsunari Ishida, Yoshitsugu Ōtani, Kojirō Sasaki

With the Chōsokabe-Mōri resistance quashed by the Orochi Army, the only remaining pocket of resistance in Western Japan was the Shimazu and Tachibana along with remanants of the Toyotomi Army led by Mitsunari Ishida. Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Lu Su are sent to deal with them.

The Orochi Army splits into three groups to attack the Toyotomi Army at Yanagawa. The Shu forces head to attack the Tachibana forces in the northwest, the Jin forces attack the Shimazu forces in the northeast, and the Wu forces attack the Toyotomi forces in the southeast. However, they are met with resistance from the three armies, requiring Zhuge Liang to formulate a pincer attack strategy.

The key to Zhuge Liang’s strategy is to occupy the Sakemi and Yadome garrisons in the north and east. Though the Yadome Garrison is easily occupied, they are unable to access the northern area as the gates are tightly shut. Sima Yi sends out rams to break down the two gates to the northern area, allowing the Orochi Army to attack the Sakemi Garrison.

Musashi Miyamoto and Kojirō Sasaki appear from the western stronghold near the Orochi Army main camp, having heard the commotion during their duel, and will charge at the main camp. Upon their defeats, Musashi will escape while Kojirō will defect to the Orochi Army, entranced by the deaths brought about by them.

With the Sakemi and Yadome garrisons occupied, the Orochi Army defeat the Shimazu and Tachibana armies. Mitsunari is unwilling to open the gates to his main camp, leading to Lu Su setting his camp on fire in order to drive him out. It is then that Sakon appears from the southwestern stronghold with reinforcements. Defeat Mitsunari and Sakon to win the battle.

Though the majority of the Toyotomi Army escape the battle, Mitsunari and Yoshitsugu are captured and forced to serve Orochi.

Chapter 13: Battle of Yiling 夷陵の戦い

Orochi Army vs. Wei Army Allied characters: Orochi, Sun Quan, Lianshi, Ding Feng, Dodomeki, Gyūki, Diamondback Enemy characters: Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Zhu, Zhang Liao, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Guo Jia, Yu Jin, Xun Yu, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai, Wang Yi, Cao Pi, Cao Ren, Zhenji, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Cai Wenji

Unlocked characters: Cao Pi, Cao Ren, Zhenji, Yu Jin

Orochi sets out with Sun Quan in search of the Hero of Chaos, Cao Cao. His army is spotted at Yiling and so, the Orochi Army engages them in battle.

At the start of the battle, there are more Wei officers and the Orochi Army’s starting positions are mostly confined to their main camp in the northeast. Sun Quan will order the Orochi Army to occupy key positions where they will set up their cannons; Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai in the northwest; Zhang Liao and Wang Yi in the central island; and Yue Jin and Li Dian in the southeast. Once the key positions are occupied and the cannons begin firing, the battle continues as normal.

After the sorcerers in the Stone Sentinel Maze are defeated and Cao Cao appears at his main camp with ambush troops, Cao Pi will arrive with reinforcements. Defeat Cao Cao and Cao Pi to win the battle.

In the end, a crying Dian Wei takes his “deceased” lord away from the battlefield. Cao Pi, who was captured in the battle, surrenders Wei to the Orochi Army despite numerous Wei officers managing to escape capture.

Chapter 14: Battle of Mikatagahara 三方ヶ原の戦い

Orochi Army vs. Oda Army Allied characters: Orochi, Da Ji, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Ina, Naomasa Ii, Naotora Ii Enemy characters: Nobunaga Oda, Nō, Mitsuhide Akechi, Ranmaru Mori, Katsuie Shibata, Toshiie Maeda, Nagamasa Azai, Oichi, Yoshikage Asakura

Ieyasu finds the Oda Army’s camp at Mikatagahara and the Orochi Army decide to head there.

Each of the garrisons around the battlefield, along with ambush units and reinforcement groups, will have at least three officers. Katsuie Shibata will be in the southeastern garrison, Toshiie Maeda is in the central garrison, and Nagamasa Azai and Oichi will appear alongside the Asakura in the north and northwest.

During the strategy where the player guides the sorcerers to the storehouse, the sorcerers’ tendency to attack every enemy that gets near them is removed, though the Oda ambush units will be stronger to counter it.

Chapter 15: Siege of Chang’an 長安の戦い (uses DW8 map)

Orochi Army vs. Resistance Army Allied characters: Dong Zhuo, Motonari Mōri, Lu Lingqi, Jia Xu, Yu Jin, Kojirō Sasaki, Sun Shangxiang, Lianshi, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji Enemy characters: Tadakatsu Honda, Yoshimoto Imagawa, Yuan Shao, Nō, Kunoichi, Nene, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, Xingcai, Jiang Wei, Lu Xun, Zhu Ran, Ujiyasu Hōjō, Kai, Lady Hayakawa, Cai Wenji, Xu Zhu, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai

Throughout Orochi’s conquest of the land, various forces have either fallen into Orochi’s army or suffed annihilation. Larger kingdoms had enough strength to fight Orochi’s army, but smaller kingdoms couldn’t and so, they formed alliances with other kingdoms.

At the Battle of Edo Castle, an officer was absent from the Tokugawa Army – Tadakatsu Honda. Tadakatsu had been sent to survey the terrain of the land, but when the Orochi Army invaded, his army went into hiding. He eventually arrived at Edo Castle, but he was too late – it had already been occupied by the Orochi Army. Believing his lord to have died, Tadakatsu sets out on his conquest to defeat the Orochi Army at all costs. He makes refuge in Chang’an, a gateway between the worlds of China and Japan and sends a call to arms to anyone who has been displaced by the Orochi Army. Hearing of this, Orochi sends out Dong Zhuo and some others to test Tadakatsu’s strength.

Starting at Mingguang Palace in the northeast, the Orochi Army attacks in two directions. However, Ma Chao and the Xiliang Cavalry are barricading them in the north while Kunoichi and Nene launch a pincer attack in the square outside Changle Palace. Motonari suggests that they occupy the armory in the east and release the pyrocannons. Once the armory is occupied, Jia Xu suggests that they occupy Gui Palace and launch a pincer attack on the Xiliang Cavalry. Defeat Yuan Shao in Gui Palace, then defeat Ma Chao and his forces.

Lu Xun and Zhu Ran appear in the corridors around Gui Palace and set fire to it and Mingguang Palace. At the same time, remnant Wei and Hōjō forces arrive as reinforcements. Defeat Lu Xun and Zhu Ran to extinguish the flames, then defeat Yoshimoto Imagawa and conquer Weiyang Palace.

Tadakatsu Honda will be the final enemy in the southern garrison outside the rear doors of Weiyang Palace. When he is defeated, Tadakatsu will comment to the Orochi Army that they will meet again before he escapes.

Chapter 16: Battle of Hinokawa 火河の戦い

Orochi Army vs. Mystic Army Allied characters: Orochi, Da Ji, Kiyomori Taira, Himiko, Sun Wukong Enemy characters: Fu Xi, Nu Wa, Taigong Wang, Zhang Jiao, Zuo Ci, Zhang Lu

Kiyomori, Himiko and Sun Wukong replace generic officers Leaflitter, Sheetweaver and Hammerjaw in this battle.

More generic officers from the Yellow Turbans and the Five Bushels Sect will appear around the battlefield.

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 6.1: Orochi Story A

The Orochi story was extended to have the Orochi Army subjugate all factions. This story begins after Da Ji frees Orochi from his prison on the Wuhang Mountains (scenario can be played in Dream Mode).

Initial characters: Orochi, Da Ji, Dong Zhuo

Chapter 1: Battle of Odawara Castle 小田原城の戦い (uses SW2 west map)

Orochi Army vs. Hōjō-Toyotomi Army Allied characters: Orochi, Da Ji Enemy characters: Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Ujimasa Hōjō, Nene, Keiji Maeda, Kotarō Fūma, Hanbei Takenaka, Kanbei Kuroda, Masanori Fukushima, Kiyomasa Katō, Ujiyasu Hōjō, Kai, Lady Hayakawa, Yoshimoto Imagawa

Unlocked characters: Keiji Maeda, Kotarō Fūma

After being broken out from the mystic realm by Da Ji, Orochi used his demonic powers to warp time and space, creating a world where they would fight the bravest warriors of China and Japan. Dong Zhuo encounters them and decides to join them, seeing that they can help him create his world of paradise.

Hanbei Takenaka replaces Teruzumi Akashi in this stage.

Masanori Fukushima and Kiyomasa Katō appear inside Odawara Castle alongside Nene’s ninja unit when the Orochi Army enters the castle.

After Ujimasa and Hideyoshi are defeated, Ujiyasu Hōjō, Kai, Lady Hayakawa and Yoshimoto Imagawa will appear in the central garrison at Mt Ishigaki and charge the main camp. Defeat Ujiyasu and Yoshimoto to win the battle.

Chapter 2: Battle of Xiapi Castle 下邳城の戦い (uses DW8XL map)

Orochi Army and Himiko Troop vs. Lu Bu Coalition Allied characters: Da Ji, Dong Zhuo, Diamondback Third-party characters: Himiko Enemy characters: Lu Bu, Diaochan, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi, Zhang Yan, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Jia Xu, Tao Qian, Liu Yao, Zhang Xiu

Unlocked characters: Lu Bu, Diaochan, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi, Jia Xu, Himiko

Upon discovering that all the lands were taken in the chaos caused by Orochi, numerous regional lords of China banded under Lu Bu at Xiapi Castle. They knew that it would be worthless fighting Orochi themselves, so they hoped that Lu Bu would be able to protect them.

Da Ji and Dong Zhuo arrive at the northwest of the battlefield. One of Da Ji’s soldiers spots a girl with mystical powers trapped in the southwestern garrison while Dong Zhuo’s soldiers find a floodgate to the northeast, which they can use to decimate Lu Bu’s forces.

Da Ji and Dong Zhuo set about their tasks. Da Ji heads to the southwestern garrison is isolated by Zhang Lu sealing the gates to the garrison. Zhang Lu knew that Da Ji was a sorcerer and he used the girl as bait due to her magical powers. Because Zhang Lu neutralised the girl’s powers, she has been weakened, unable to use her powers to save herself. Zhang Lu sends in phantom soldiers and sorcerers to attack Da Ji and the girl, who introduces herself as Himiko. Assist Da Ji by opening the gates into the garrison (if outside) and defeating the sorcerers which will make the phantom soldiers disappear. Zhang Lu will appear with his own troops to attack Da Ji. Defeat him to recover Himiko’s powers.

Dong Zhuo heads east and heads past the north side of the castle to the floodgates. Chen Gong would know that Dong Zhuo would head for the floodgates, so ambush units led by Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan will attack him. Defeat the ambush units to open the floodgates and flood Xiapi Castle.

With the castle flooded, Dong Zhuo will send out bridgelayers and siege ramps to allow the Orochi Army to enter the castle. Da Ji suggests to Dong Zhuo that they set parts of the castle (the armory and supply depot) on fire. Himiko teleports into Xiapi Castle and engages Lu Bu’s forces while Dong Zhuo’s officers head to execute the fire attacks.

Regardless of whether the fire attacks are successful or not, Jia Xu will arrive with Tao Qian, Liu Yao and Zhang Xiu from the south and east. Lu Bu and his officers will be captured upon their defeat. Defeat Lu Bu and Jia Xu to win the battle.

Lu Bu is angered at the prospect of being captured by Dong Zhuo, to which Dong Zhuo says that he won’t kill him if he joins the Orochi Army. Da Ji also mentions that her lord Orochi is looking for worthy opponents from all over the land to fight; since Lu Bu is also interested in fighting worthy opponents, he decides to join them. Jia Xu decides to surrender to the Orochi Army while Himiko joins Da Ji as her personal companion.

Chapter 3: Battle of Chengdu 成都の戦い

Orochi Army vs. Shu Army Allied characters: Orochi, Kotarō Fūma Enemy characters: Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Yueying, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Fa Zheng, Guan Suo, Bao Sanniang, Meng Huo, Zhurong

Unlocked characters: Zhuge Liang, Guan Xing, Guan Suo, Fa Zheng

The Orochi Army’s next conquest was the land of Shu, specifically the city of Chengdu, remarked by their scouts as empty and insignificant.

With this game adapting characters from Dynasty Warriors 8 and Samurai Warriors 4, some generic officers are upgraded to playable characters where appropriate.

Bao Sanniang appears alongside Guan Suo just outside the western gate of Luo Castle. Fa Zheng appears at the north gate of Chengdu Castle, staying behind when Liu Bei escapes with Zhao Yun and Yang Yi. Yueying appears with Zhuge Liang in the inner sanctum of the castle.

Unlike the original version, the north gate of Chengdu Castle will be closed and will not open until all enemy officers inside are defeated. The central gate will remain locked, as with the northern gate of Luo Castle.

Liu Bei is captured and Zhuge Liang, along with a number of Shu officers, are forced to serve Orochi. Zhuge Liang mentions that there are other officers who will surely come to rescue Liu Bei and that this will provide great opportunities to neutralise them.

Chapter 4: Battle of Mt. Shigi Castle 信貴山城の戦い (uses SW4 map)

Orochi Army vs. Miyoshi Coalition Allied characters: Orochi, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Jia Xu Enemy characters: Hisahide Matsunaga, Munenori Yagyū, Goemon Ishikawa, Nagayasu Miyoshi, Masayasu Miyoshi, Tomomichi Iwanari, Yoshikata Rokkaku, Masamoto Kodera

Unlocked characters: Hisahide Matsunaga, Munenori Yagyū

Orochi’s army arrive in Kii Province, under the hands of Hisahide Matsunaga and the Miyoshi. The Rokkaku and Kodera clans also gather in the area to stop Orochi.

Starting in the southwest, Chen Gong and Jia Xu work together to claim Mt. Shigi Castle. After an initial attack from the west, an explosion caused by Goemon Ishikawa blocks their path to the castle. After breaking through the Rokkaku troops in the centre, Hisahide sets the area on fire. Jia Xu and Chen Gong find the troops who are responsible for the fire and capture them to set another fire attack to the northeast of the battlefield. Chen Gong sets the fire while Jia Xu clears the western path to the northern garrison to allow access.

Entering Mt. Shigi Castle, Munenori Yagyū will defend the entrance to the keep. Upon defeating him and entering the keep, Hisahide sets off the explosives contained in the teapots set around the walls of the castle, causing another fire. Despite this, Hisahide Matsunaga is defeated.

Goemon Ishikawa escapes the battlefield while Hisahide and Munenori surrender to Orochi.

Chapter 5: Battle of Kawanakajima 川中島の戦い

Orochi Army vs. Takeda-Uesugi Army Allied characters: Orochi, Dong Zhuo, Keiji Maeda Enemy characters: Shingen Takeda, Kenshin Uesugi, Yukimura Sanada, Nobuyuki Sanada, Kanetsugu Naoe, Kagekatsu Uesugi, Aya, Kunoichi

Knowing of the threat posed by the Orochi Army, Shinken Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi form an alliance and set their camps at Kawanakajima. The Orochi Army are split into two groups, with Dong Zhuo and the main army in the northeast (at Mt Saijō) and Keiji Maeda in the southeast.

Aya will be with Kenshin in the northwestern garrison (Kaizu Castle). Kagekatsu is with Kanetsugu in the western garrison; his original place in the north of the battlefield is replaced by a generic officer.

Nobuyuki Sanada replaces Nobutsuna next to Yukimura in the southeast. Kunoichi appears with the Takeda ambush units upon entering the Stone Sentinel Maze.

Chapter 6: Battle of Jiange 剣閣の戦い (uses DW8 Hanzhong map)

Orochi Army and Kiyomori Troop vs. Shu Army Allied characters: Da Ji, Himiko, Dodomeki, Diaochan, Lu Lingqi, Zhuge Liang, Guan Xing, Fa Zheng Third-party characters: Kiyomori Taira Enemy characters: Liu Shan, Jiang Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Guan Ping, Xingcai, Ma Dai, Guan Yinping, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang

Unlocked characters: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Shan, Kiyomori Taira

Just as Zhuge Liang predicted before, the remaining Shu officers are forming a stand against Orochi in Jiange. Liu Shan and Jiang Wei are at the northeast with the more veteran officers while the younger officers are stationed at their main camp beneath the mountaintop (where Mt. Dingjun is in DW8). Da Ji and Zhuge Liang set up camp in the southwestern garrison within the forest caves. Receiving report that the Orochi Army have set up camp, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei charge towards the Shu camp to attack Zhuge Liang and Da Ji, hoping to have their brother Liu Bei freed from capture. They are defeated and they retreat soon after.

Upon reaching the southern garrison, Orochi Army scouts have found a mysterious grave on the mountaintop (Mt. Tiandang in DW8). At the same time, Pang Tong and Xu Shu begin their plan by sending wave after wave of officers to attack the Orochi Army. Zhuge Liang implements stage one of his plan by having Diaochan and Lu Lingqi lure the enemy frontline to the centre and setting a fire attack, lowering the Shu forces’ morale. Pang Tong and Xu Shu fall back to work out what Zhuge Liang could be planning next.

Zhuge Liang prepares the second part of the plan in preparation of a pincer attack on Liu Shan and Jiang Wei. He sends Himiko, Diaochan and Lu Lingqi to wait in the east while he goes with Da Ji and Guan Xing to the mountaintop. Dodomeki will defend the southern garrison in their absence. Jiang Wei predicted Zhuge Liang’s plan and he sends out units to counterattack.

Pang Tong reappears on the mountain with reinforcements from the Nanman (not Meng Huo however). Xu Shu also reappears to the east, suspecting that Zhuge Liang is trying to ambush their main camp. He attacks Diaochan and Lu Lingqi, but Xu Shu is defeated and he retreats for a second time. Back to the west, Da Ji, Zhuge Liang and the others defeat Wei Yan and Xingcai on their way to the summit. Wei Yan and Xingcai retreat to the northeast and the main camp respectively. Xingcai warns Guan Ping and the others at the camp to strengthen their defences for Zhuge Liang’s assault. Zhuge Liang defeats Pang Tong and the Nanman reinforcements, claiming the mountaintop for the Orochi Army. Pang Tong retreats again.

On the mountaintop, Da Ji discovers the grave of Kiyomori Taira, who was said to have died somewhere else in a duel (against Yoshitsune Minamoto). Magically digging up his body, Da Ji wonders what it would be like if Kiyomori could rampage against the Shu Army. Da Ji and Himiko resurrect Kiyomori into a half-human, half-demon after Kiyomori agrees to sell his soul to the Orochi Army.

Once Kiyomori is resurrected, he charges down into the Shu main camp and unleashes his newfound demonic power against the young Shu officers. Zhuge Liang, Da Ji and the others follow Kiyomori into the battlefield. The entire Shu Army goes into a panic, with masses of Shu soldiers fleeing the battlefield. Jiang Wei gathers the rest of the Shu Army and charges towards their main camp.

Himiko, Diaochan and Lu Lingqi set fire to the Shu main camp and ambush it. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei reappear again to tell Liu Shan to escape. Pang Tong and Xu Shu assist him, taking a break mid-way.

Back on Mt. Dingjun, the Orochi Army with the help of Kiyomori eliminate the majority of the Shu Army, with many officers captured. Zhuge Liang heads to where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are fighting and announces to them that their children have been captured and will be spared, along with Liu Bei, if they immediately surrender.

Following Guan Yu and Zhang Fei’s surrender, Jiang Wei joins Liu Shan and the others in his escape. Zhuge Liang chases them to the escape point (east of the southern garrison) and after being intercepted by Orochi Army officers, Liu Shan and the others put up a fight before Liu Shan is captured.

In the aftermath, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Guan Ping, Xingcai, Ma Dai, Wei Yan, Guan Yinping, Jiang Wei, Pang Tong and Xu Shu have evaded capture. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Shan are forced to work in Orochi’s army.

Chapter 7: Battle of Shangyong 上庸の戦い (uses DW8XL map)

Orochi Army and Sun Wukong Troop vs. Jin Army Allied characters: Kiyomori Taira, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Gyūki, Chen Gong, Jia Xu Third-party characters: Sun Wukong Enemy characters: Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Wang Yuanji, Zhuge Dan, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai, Jia Chong, Wen Yang, Zhang Chunhua

Unlocked characters: Sun Wukong, Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Zhang Chunhua

With the surrender of the entire Shu Army to the Orochi Army, the entire land was determined to fight, but were scared to because of the Orochi Army’s immense power. Knowing of the danger the Orochi Army would pose against Wei, Sima Yi decided to engage them by gathering his army in Shangyong. In response, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu set to the battlefield with Kiyomori Taira.

Starting from the northeast, the Orochi Army are ordered to occupy Shangyong Castle. On the way, Kiyomori spots a mysterious boulder (at the northmost part of the battlefield) where Sun Wukong is squashed under it, having been put there by the Mystics for failing to prevent Orochi’s release. Kiyomori offers him freedom in exchange for servitude under his wing; Wukong accepts and Kiyomori frees him as they continue to Shangyong Castle.

After defeating Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai, Shangyong Castle is set on fire and ambush units attack from the path leading to the northwest. Once the ambush units are defeated, Kiyomori will send sorcerers through the northwest path to unleash poison gas on Sima Zhao’s camp while Chen Gong and Jia Xu hold the Jin Army back. Defend the sorcerers as they head to the strategic point, then once the poison gas is unleashed, defeat Sima Zhao and his army.

Sun Wukong will then summon clones of himself in Sima Yi and Sima Shi’s camps, forcing them to advance their armies to Shangyong Castle, with Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai reappearing as well. Defeat Sima Yi and Sima Shi to win the battle.

In the aftermath, Sima Yi happily surrenders to the Orochi Army, claiming that his intellect can surpass anyone else’s in the land. Sima Shi happily follows his father while Sima Zhao is uneasy about his father’s decision, a foreshadowing for the Jin stories.

Chapter 8: Battle of Hefei 合肥の戦い

Orochi Army vs. Wu Army Allied characters: Zhuge Liang, Guan Suo, Fa Zheng Enemy characters: Sun Jian, Zhou Yu, Ling Tong, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Guo Jia, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Yu Jin, Lu Su, Sun Ce, Daqiao, Han Dang

Unlocked characters: Sun Ce, Daqiao, Han Dang

Da Ji decided to have Zhuge Liang lead a mobile unit to quash the human resistance, which he agreed to and set off for Hefei to confront the Wu Army.

Li Dian and Yu Jin will appear with Zhang Liao and Gan Ning’s ambush unit.

Ding Feng and Lu Su are replaced by other generic officers.

A lady tried to enter my car today. OK, not really, but this is going to highlight an issue.

I was driving with my mum and I got to the end of the street when the lady was standing around near the bus stop. While I was looking for cars on the right before turning left, I heard the passenger side window open; my mum had opened it because the lady approached the car.

The lady asked us if we could take her to the shopping centre because she missed the last bus and the next one was an hour away. I declined and went on, having known the dangers of picking up hitchhikers and also I wasn't headed to the shopping centre anyway (until later). As I drove, I thought that I could have suggested that she walk about 3-4 stops up the road, or hell, just walk to the shopping centre anyway since by research, it would be faster than waiting for the next bus, but the road was fairly hilly and it might have been a bit ableist to suggest such a thing to a middle-aged lady.

Ironically, last week, a lady in my area was carjacked by a guy and forced to drive around buying MacBooks while he held her child hostage. With the resurgence of crime being reported in the news in Victoria (youth crime and violence against women among the prominent categories, another reason why I think Dictator Dan being reelected in 2022 was mostly because of pandemic Stockholm/Melbourne Syndrome), my suggestion to drivers is to keep your doors locked when you're in your car. If you're in a situation like with the lady who missed her bus, then I hope you know what you can do or who you can call otherwise you're screwed and I'll be damned if I'm letting a stranger in my fucking car. I'm not an Uber, goddamn it.

The main issue I wanted to highlight here is something that people have complained already, namely the lack of adequate public transport services on weekends. Most bus routes run services every hour on weekends, with the orbital SmartBus routes running every half hour. The bus timetables in my area haven't changed since 2012 and the routes even longer than that. Someone on Blogspot has written a series on Building Melbourne's Useful Network, suggesting changes to routes in the hopes of getting them to run every 20 minutes. Overhauling the bus system is going to take time, but I hope to see small things happening sooner rather than later.

The Zhang Jiao Army 張角軍 is known as the Yellow Turbans 黄巾党 in this version.

Defeat Goemon and Dong Zhuo’s troops to rescue the Yellow Turban officers. Additional troops will arrive to assist them.

A mysterious man will arrive to assist Zhang Jiao. If Sakon reaches the man, he will only introduce himself as a friend. Defeat Dong Zhuo to win the battle.

In the aftermath, Zhang Jiao will thank Sakon for his “miracle from the heavens”. Sakon asks Zhang Jiao if he knows the mysterious man, but Zhang Jiao does not.

Sakon will comment that they are heavily outnumbered compared to the other armies in the land. Officers such as Musashi Miyamoto, Toyohisa Shimazu, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Xu Huang, Kanbei Kuroda, Huang Zhong, Guan Ping and Muneshige Tachibana will join him.

Chapter 10: Battle of Ji Province 冀州の戦い (uses DW5 Yellow Turban map)

Coalition Army vs. Da Ji Army Allied characters: Xu Huang, Musashi Miyamoto, Muneshige Tachibana, Zhang Jiao Enemy characters: Da Ji, Himiko, Kojirō Sasaki, Hisahide Matsunaga

Unlocked characters: Yukimura Sanada, Shingen Takeda, Kojirō Sasaki

Dong Zhuo and his army were left with no choice but to retreat. As Sakon went to visit Shingen, he wondered if the mysterious man from the last battle was driving him towards something.

Sakon comments that they need the assistance of Shingen, Kenshin and Nobunaga to defeat Orochi. He decides to start by talking with Shingen. In the meantime, Xu Huang and Musashi are attacked while they are training. They find Da Ji, along with a mysterious girl…

After defeating Kojirō Sasaki at the eastern altar, enemy ambush troops will appear at the central altar or in the southeastern area depending on where you go. Hisahide Matsunaga will appear in the opposite area as reinforcements.

When Himiko arrives in the south, Muneshige Tachibana will appear in place of Gao Sheng to stop her, but she will escape to the west as enemy reinforcements arrive to assist her (instead of later on in the original). As Himiko arrives in the west, however, Zhang Jiao will appear in place of He Yi to stop her. Defeat Da Ji and Himiko to win the battle.

In the aftermath, Kojirō will join Musashi and Xu Huang. Meanwhile, Sakon meets with Shingen, who agrees to lend assistance to him.

Chapter 11: Rescue at Hasedō 長谷堂救出戦

Coalition Army and Naoe Army vs. Sun Wukong Army Allied characters: Sakon Shima, Yukimura Sanada, Kojirō Sasaki Third-party characters: Kanetsugu Naoe, ??? → Fu Xi Enemy characters: Sun Wukong, Diamondback, Kotarō Fūma

Unlocked characters: Kenshin Uesugi, Kanetsugu Naoe, Kagekatsu Uesugi, Aya, Fu Xi

Sakon tells Shingen that he is also asking for help from Kenshin. Yukimura Sanada will report that Kanetsugu Naoe is under attack from forces unknown. Shingen suggests to Sakon that this is a wonderful opportunity. Sakon heads out with Yukimura.

Kojirō Sasaki will appear in place of Zhang Jiao in this battle.

When Sakon reaches Kanetsugu in the flaming forest, the mysterious man from Luosang Village will arrive to reveal that the fire is an illusion. He reveals the position of the sorcerers causing it. Defeat them to extinguish the fire. The man will introduce himself as Fu Xi. He also states that Sun Wukong is also from the mystic realm like himself, working for a half-man, half-demon, Kiyomori Taira, to recruit troops for his army. Their plan is to revive Orochi.

Break through the northern gate out of the forest and defeat Sun Wukong to win the battle.

In the aftermath, Kanetsugu takes Sakon to Kenshin. He agrees to join Sakon along with the others. Fu Xi also complements Sakon for uniting the Takeda and Uesugi, saying that he is the one who can stop Orochi’s resurrection. He also joins Sakon as atonement for “testing” him.

Chapter 12: Battle of Changban 長坂の戦い

Coalition Army vs. Date-Da Ji Army Allied characters: Shingen Takeda, Kanetsugu Naoe Enemy characters: Masamune Date, Da Ji, Motonari Mōri, Keiji Maeda, Kojūrō Katakura, Takakage Kobayakawa

Sakon suggests having Masamune join his army along with Nobunaga. However, Kanetsugu believes that Masamune is still loyal to Orochi. Sakon decides to have Shingen set off for Changban in order to convince Masamune to join them.

Motonari Mōri will appear in place of Sima Yi in this battle and therefore, will not be unlocked when the battle is cleared in this version. Takakage Kobayakawa will appear in place of Dōkyū Yamagami in the ambush unit alongside Kojūrō Katakura.

In the aftermath, Shingen talks to Masamune, but he declines the offer, saying that no one has been able to keep the peace since Orochi’s death. Shingen gives the bad news to Sakon, who then remembers that there is someone that they can ask. Kanetsugu reports that Lu Bu and Kiyomori have joined forces and are laying waste to the men of Wu. Huang Zhong, Yoshihiro and Kanbei offer to assist them.

Chapter 13: Battle of Liang Province 涼州の戦い

Coalition Army and Lu Meng Army vs. Lu Bu Army Allied characters: Kanbei Kuroda, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Huang Zhong Third-party characters: Lu Meng, Gan Ning Enemy characters: Lu Bu, Sun Wukong, Diaochan, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi

Unlocked characters: Lu Meng, Gan Ning

Lu Bu and Kiyomori had joined forces to attack Liang Province, which was being defended by the warriors of Wu. Kanbei set off to Liang Province along with two veteran warriors to save the Wu Army, for if they were rescued, their assistance could be procured.

Kanbei Kuroda appears in place of Sima Yi for this battle. Han Dang will be replaced by another Wu generic officer when reinforcements arrive.

Lu Lingqi and Hou Cheng will appear with Chen Gong’s reinforcements when they arrive.

In the aftermath, Lu Meng and Gan Ning will join Sakon’s army on behalf of Wu.

Chapter 14: Battle of Hulao Gate 虎牢関の戦い

Coalition Army and Toyotomi Army vs. Taira Army Allied characters: Katsuyori Takeda, Sakon Shima, Guan Ping, Toyohisa Shimazu Third-party characters: Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Nene, Masanori Fukushima, Kiyomasa Katō, Hanbei Takenaka, Mitsunari Ishida Enemy characters: Kiyomori Taira, Diamondback, Sun Wukong, Hisahide Matsunaga

Unlocked characters: Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Nene, Mitsunari Ishida, Hanbei Takenaka, Kiyomasa Katō, Masanori Fukushima

Sakon moved to the next phase of his plan. He set off with Guan Ping and Toyohisa Shimazu to gain the cooperation of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. They spot Kiyomori and Dong Zhuo up ahead at Hulao Gate.

As I stated previously, Nobunaga Oda originally appeared in both the Wei and Samurai Warriors stories for Part B, which is illogical and it robs Mitsunari Ishida of any relevance; in addition, it also robs Hideyoshi Toyotomi of prominence as he was only seen in the original games as an underling of Nobunaga. As such, Nobunaga and Nō only appear in the Wei story, leaving Hideyoshi and Mitsunari for the Samurai Warriors story.

Zhang Ren does not appear in this battle. Toyohisa Shimazu and Yoshihisa Shimazu will swap places in this battle, meaning the former will be defending the main camp alongside Guan Ping while the latter advances with Sakon.

The Hōjō officers among the enemy are replaced by Mōri officers and Hisahide Matsunaga will appear in place of Dong Zhuo.

When the Toyotomi Army arrives, Mitsunari Ishida, Masanori Fukushima and Kiyomasa Katō will appear alongside Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Nene and Hanbei Takenaka.

In the aftermath, Hideyoshi joins Sakon’s army. Sakon asks him to assist Mitsunari and Kenshin at Baidi Castle.

Chapter 15: Battle of Baidi Castle 白帝城の戦い

Coalition Army vs. Taira Army Allied characters: Kenshin Uesugi, Kagekatsu Uesugi, Aya, Mitsunari Ishida, Masanori Fukushima, Kiyomasa Katō, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Nene, Hanbei Takenaka, Hideie Ukita, Muneshige Tachibana, Lu Meng, Gan Ning Enemy characters: Kiyomori Taira, Sun Wukong, Dong Zhuo, Kotarō Fūma

The alliance to prevent the resurrection of Orochi was finally complete. In response, Kiyomori quietly concentrated his forces at Baidi Castle. Believing that Kiyomori was now attempting to revive Orochi, Sakon immediately ordered Hideyoshi and Kenshin to attack Baidi Castle…

Kenshin, Kagekatsu and Aya will advance to Baidi Castle from the east, Mitsunari, Masanori and Kiyomasa will advance from the south and Hideyoshi, Nene and Hanbei will advance from the west. Muneshige Tachibana, Lu Meng and Gan Ning will appear as the ambush troops engaging Dong Zhuo’s officers in the central path to the northwest.

Defeat Kiyomori to win the battle, but he will say that it is too late…

In the aftermath, Sakon is depressed over his failure to prevent Orochi’s resurrection, but Fu Xi convinces Sakon to put his final plan in place to defeat Orochi. Shingen accepts Sakon’s offer to join him again on the battlefield.

Chapter 16: Battle of Sekigahara 関ヶ原の戦い

Coalition Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Shingen Takeda, Sakon Shima, Fu Xi Enemy characters: Orochi X, Da Ji, Masamune Date, Kojūrō Katakura, Hisahide Matsunaga, Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa

Unlocked characters: Kiyomori Taira

Some variations have been made for the Chapter 16 battles against Orochi X. In each faction’s version, they will fight four of Orochi’s main generals. In this version of the battle, those generals will be Da Ji, Masamune Date, Hisahide Matsunaga and Motonari Mōri.

Orochi had been resurrected and was surrounded by Da Ji and Masamune. The final battle lay ahead at Sekigahara…

Hisahide Matsunaga will appear in place of Keiji Maeda with his sneak attack unit in the northwest. At the same time, Motonari Mōri and Takakage Kobayakawa will also appear with their sneak attack unit in the centre. Due to the fog around Sekigahara, both sneak attack units will reveal themselves as they approach the main camp.

Defeat Da Ji and the officers outside the enemy camp, then enter the camp and defeat Orochi X to win the battle.

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 5.2: Samurai Warriors Side Stages

Chapter 2-X: Battle of Kawanakajima 川中島の戦い

Coalition Army and Ma Chao Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Huang Zhong, Mitsuhide Akechi Third-party characters: Ma Chao, Peasant x 5 Enemy characters: Sima Yi, Zhang Chunhua, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Wang Yuanji, Jia Chong, Zhuge Dan, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Dong Zhuo, Ieyasu Tokugawa

Unlockable character: Ma Chao

Clear Chapter 1 to unlock this stage.

Nobunaga arrived at Kawanakajima to find a warrior bravely leading his army against Orochi’s forces. It was Ma Chao, one of the legendary Five Tiger Generals of Shu. He was attempting to keep the citizens of the area safe, leading them to Zenkōji. However, the Orochi Army was led by Sima Yi. Nobunaga moved to their aid after being urged by Huang Zhong.

At the start of the battle, Sima Zhao will appear in place of Wang Shuang, Wang Yuanji will appear in place of Zhong Hui and Jia Chong will appear in place of Guo Huai. Zhuge Dan will appear in place of Wang Lang, Sima Shi will appear in place of the generic Sima Zhao and Zhang Chunhua will appear in place of Xin Pi. Zhong Hui will appear in place of Niu Jin when he appears alongside Deng Ai as ambush troops inside the Stone Sentinel Maze.

Defeat Sima Yi and guide the peasants to Zenkōji to win the battle.

To unlock Ma Chao, ensure that all peasants reach Zenkōji.

Chapter 3-X: Battle of Xiapi 下邳の戦い

Coalition Army and Lu Xun Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Mitsuhide Akechi, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Kazumasu Takigawa Third-party characters: Lu Xun Enemy characters: Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Mitsunari Ishida, Yue Jin, Li Dian, Yoshitsugu Ōtani

Unlockable character: Lu Xun

Clear Chapter 2 to unlock this stage.

Lu Xun led a resistance unit comprised of Wu soldiers who refused to side with Orochi under any circumstances. Sun Ce defeated him initially at Changban, but Orochi sent out Cao Ren to surround him at Xiapi Castle.

Mitsunari Ishida will replace Guo Jia and Li Dian will replace Xu Shu in this battle.

To unlock Lu Xun, escort him to your main camp and complete the battle with your allies still alive.

Chapter 4-X: Battle of Sishui Gate 汜水関の戦い

Coalition Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Okuni, Zhang Jiao, Hanbei Takenaka Enemy characters: Koshōshō, Dong Zhuo, Ina, Lu Lingqi, Lu Bu

Unlockable character: Koshōshō

Clear Chapter 3 to unlock this stage.

Dong Zhuo served Orochi for one reason and one reason only: gold. Orochi was having gold transported to him “for military funding use”. Hearing of this, Hideyoshi Toyotomi gathered an army to ambush the supply units…

This is one of few stages where the unlockable character is different from the original. This was done to maintain Dong Zhuo’s status as a staunch officer of the Orochi Army (and to account for future appearances in other stories).

Hanbei Takenaka will appear in place of Kanbei Kuroda in this battle. Koshōshō will appear as an additional officer in Dong Zhuo’s main camp. Zhang Ji will appear with the first supply captain and Lu Lingqi will take his place to appear with the second supply captain. Lu Bu will continue to appear with the third supply captain.

In the original version, Dong Zhuo will lose faith in Orochi when his gold doesn’t arrive, but in this version, he will proclaim revenge on the Coalition Army while Koshōshō will become intrigued by them. Defeat Koshōshō and Dong Zhuo to win the battle.

To unlock Koshōshō, defeat all supply captains before they reach Dong Zhuo.

Chapter 5-X: Battle of Nagashino 長篠の戦い

Coalition Army and Takeda-Uesugi Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Huang Zhong, Guan Ping Third-party characters: Shingen Takeda, Kenshin Uesugi, Kanetsugu Naoe, Kagekatsu Uesugi Enemy characters: Cao Pi, Sun Quan, Cao Ren, Zhou Tai, Lianshi, Ding Feng, Li Dian, Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa, Yoshitsugu Ōtani, Yue Jin

Unlockable character: Cao Ren

Clear Chapter 5 to unlock this stage.

Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi advanced upon Nagashino, hoping to draw the full attention of the Orochi Army. Their plan worked; Orochi transferred his primary forces from Guandu to Nagashino, leaving Guandu dangerously undermanned.

If Nobunaga were to take advantage of this opportunity and attack Guandu, then a mortal blow could be dealt to Orochi’s ambitions. For this reason, Shingen and Kenshin were prepared to sacrifice themselves. But just as they were prepared to ride to their deaths, help came from an unexpected quarter…

Takakage Kobayakawa will appear with Zhu Huan and Hao Zhao as they attack the Takeda-Uesugi main camp at Nagashino Castle, while Motonari Mōri will appear with Yue Jin and Hiroie Kikkawa as they attack the Tobigasu Garrison. Lianshi and Ding Feng will appear as additional units outside the Orochi Army main camp at Shitaragahara. Li Dian will replace Takatora Tōdō in this battle. Kagekatsu Uesugi will appear with Kanetsugu Naoe when the main cavalry arrives.

During the battle, Cao Ren will be wondering how they can fight if they are prepared to discard their lives to defeat Orochi. To unlock him, rescue Shingen and Kenshin within 5 minutes (originally 2), then defeat him by yourself (preferably while you are escorting the cavalry units to the Maruyama Garrison).

Chapter 6-X: Showdown at Odawara Castle 小田原城決戦 (uses SW2 west map)

Coalition Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Huang Zhong, Hideyoshi Toyotomi Enemy characters: Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Hisahide Matsunaga, Munenori Yagyū, Ina, Sun Shangxiang, Guan Suo, Ding Feng, (Aya)

Unlockable character: Aya (secret mission)

Clear Chapter 6 to unlock this stage.

Having seized the Orochi Army fortress at Guandu, Nobunaga’s army was riding the crest of a wave. Just at this time, news filtered through of a rebellion against Orochi led by Cao Pi and Mitsunari Ishida at Odawara Castle. The forces of the Orochi Army in Odawara had been severly depleted through the ongoing battle. Nobunaga immediately dispatched a unit to aid the rebellion, thinking that such a golden opportunity should not be overlooked.

Jia Xu will appear among the ambush units in the southern garrison, while Hisahide Matsunaga and Munenori Yagyū will appear among the ambush units in the northern garrison.

Aya can be unlocked in this battle after completing a secret mission, which can be unlocked by defeating Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi after foiling their plans.

See through Sima Yi’s ambush plan by defeating both Yellowbelly and Urutu before they arrive at the northern and southern garrisons. Then see through Zhuge Liang’s empty castle plan by rushing into the central garrison (Mt Ishigaki) alone before your allies do. After defeating Ina and Sun Shangxiang, resume fighting as normal.

After Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi retreat, Aya will appear in an event, explaining that she got lost while she was fleeing the Orochi Army’s attack. She managed to find the Coalition Army and seeing their skill in foiling Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi’s plans, wants to test their skill before she joins them. Defeat Aya in the secret mission and win the battle.

Chapter 7-X: Battle of Kanegasaki 金ヶ崎の戦い

Coalition Army and Honda Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Huang Zhong, Okuni, Xiaoqiao, Kanbei Kuroda Third-party characters: Tadakatsu Honda Enemy characters: Masamune Date, Kojūrō Katakura, Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa, Chen Gong, Yu Jin, Jia Xu, Zhuge Dan, Lu Bu

Unlockable character: Tadakatsu Honda (4/4)

Clear Chapter 6-X to unlock this stage.

Orochi sent his closest ally, Masamune Date, to the headquarters of the Resistance in Kanegasaki. If Kanegasaki were to fall, it would mean the end of the resistance. In addition, a fatal blunder had been made, leaving Huang Zhong with a very small defense unit…

On the Orochi Army side, Koroku Hachisuka is replaced by another generic officer because why would he be an enemy when he appears as an ally in Chapter 6-X and 8-X? Kojūrō Katakura will appear as an additional officer next to Masamune Date, while Motonari Mōri and Takakage Kobayakawa appear in place of Zhang He and Guo Jia in this battle.

Enemy reinforcements led by Yu Jin, Jia Xu and Zhuge Dan will arrive when the messenger escapes the battlefield or is defeated; in the case of the former, it will provide the Coalition Army with more enemies to defeat so when the allied reinforcements arrive, it doesn’t look like they came for nothing. Kanbei Kuroda will appear in place of Morichika Chōsokabe among the allied reinforcements. Also, the allied reinforcements will arrive two minutes after the messengers escape instead of three minutes.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Tadakatsu Honda. To impress him, guide the messenger to the northeastern garrison as usual. Defeat Lu Bu yourself and allow the messenger to escape. Wait for the allied reinforcements to arrive, then defeat Masamune to win the battle.

An additional condition in the original game was that none of your allies could be defeated, but that condition has been removed in this version.

Chapter 8-X: Battle of Baidi Castle 白帝城の戦い

Coalition Army and Nō Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Hanbei Takenaka Third-party characters: Nō, Cao Cao Enemy characters: Kotarō Fūma, Lu Bu, Orochi, Da Ji, Diamondback

Unlockable character: Lu Bu (4/4)

In Chapter 7, get 1000 KOs to unlock this stage.

Baidi Castle was one of the Orochi Army’s main strongholds. Forced to respond to other uprisings, Orochi had left this castle undermanned. Coordinating with his wife, Lady Nō, who had been freed by Sun Ce, Nobunaga organised a pincer attack on the castle. Just when the castle seemed likely to fall, however, Nobunaga received news that Orochi had sent an enormous force to welcome him…

Hanbei Takenaka is replaced by a generic officer in this battle. Yoshimasa Oka and Morishige Tsuchihashi are replaced by other generic officers because the Saika Renegades should be with Shu.

Orochi will appear in this battle if Chapter 8 has been cleared.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Lu Bu. To impress him, just defeat him without running away from him.

Samurai Warriors 4 DX (no Definitive Edition subtitle?) was released today, 14 May 2024, on PC via Steam, having previously been released in Japan only in 2019 for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

Nearly a decade ago when I was working on the Koei Warriors Rant Series, there was a fan on the Koei Facebook page named Mariano Fernandez Cuzzocrea, an Argentinian lawyer who was constantly begging for a PC port of Samurai Warriors 4 in the comments, to the derision of intolerant opinion-neutral fanboys. His wish would be partially fulfilled with the release of Samurai Warriors 4-II, though in retrospect, the main game would have been a better choice.

Years later, Koei Tecmo made the right choice. In spite of what happened with Dynasty Warriors 9 in 2018 and the radio silence in terms of new mainline Warriors games since Samurai Warriors 5 in 2021, they have rereleased modern series classics such as DW7XL, WO3U and now this. And yet they still never made the effort to give this and WO3U an English dub. Sure, the PSN Store is dead for the PS3, but who's to say they can't do it for the PS4 given how its games are compatible for the PS5?

So anyway, congratulations Mariano. You finally won.

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 5.1: Samurai Warriors Story A

Initial characters: Nobunaga Oda, Mitsuhide Akechi, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Katsuie Shibata, Toshiie Maeda, Kanbei Kuroda, Hanbei Takenaka

Chapter 1: Battle of Jing Province 荊州の戦い

Coalition Army and Huang Zhong Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Hanbei Takenaka Third-party characters: Huang Zhong, Guan Ping Enemy characters: Mitsunari Ishida, Cao Ren, Yoshitsugu Ōtani, Diamondback, Jia Xu, Cao Pi

Unlocked characters: Huang Zhong, Guan Ping

After Shu was destroyed by the Orochi Army, Huang Zhong and Guan Ping found themselves defending Jing Province. Nobunaga comes into the battlefield, saving Guan Ping from certain death…

Meng Da will be with the Huang Zhong Army in the outer section of Xiangyang Castle. Yoshitsugu Ōtani appears in place of Guo Jia and Jia Xu appears in place of Xun Yu in this battle. Diamondback appears in place of Coachwhip in the eastern garrison to ambush Guan Ping. Coachwhip will instead appear near the northwest of the battlefield next to Yoshitsugu.

In the aftermath, Guan Ping and Huang Zhong will join Nobunaga. Huang Zhong tells Nobunaga that he resembles Cao Cao. Nobunaga is interested in finding him and then asks Huang Zhong to lead him to Honnōji, where he is said to be…

Chapter 2: Battle of Honnōji 本能寺の戦い

Coalition Army and Cao Cao Troop → Xiahou Dun Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Huang Zhong, Toshiie Maeda Third-party characters: Cao Cao (illusion), Xiahou Dun, Shingen Takeda Enemy characters: Ding Feng, Da Ji, Sun Shangxiang, Lianshi, Zhou Yu

It was reported that in his initial fight against Orochi, Cao Cao had died at Yiling. However, Nobunaga decided to head to Honnōji, where Cao Cao was rumoured to be living in seclusion. By the time Nobunaga arrived, Honnōji was surrounded by Orochi’s forces.

Toshiie Maeda will appear in place of Kazumasu Takigawa from the Z version of this battle and will be tasked by Nobunaga to extinguish the flames around Honnōji. Li Dian will be replaced by a generic officer when Xiahou Dun arrives. Lianshi will appear in place of Chen Lan and Lei Bo will be replaced by a Wu generic officer.

Xiahou Dun will arrive, outraged that his lord is not there while the “pretender” Nobunaga is. Shingen Takeda will follow, expecting to find Nobunaga, but he finds that Nobunaga is occupied with the Orochi Army.

In the aftermath of the battle, Xiahou Dun tells Nobunaga that he is not fit to replace Cao Cao. Nobunaga tells him that he is wasting his time searching for the dead. Sun Shangxiang is brought to Nobunaga, having been captured in the battle. Nobunaga asks if the kingdom of Wu has any spirit left in them, then has the prisoners released.

Chapter 3: Battle of Kyūshū ��州の戦い

Coalition Army and Naoe Army vs. Sakon Shima Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Kanbei Kuroda Third-party characters: Kanetsugu Naoe Enemy characters: Sakon Shima, Zhang Jiao, Okuni, Xiaoqiao

Unlocked characters: Zhang Jiao, Okuni, Xiaoqiao

Nobunaga identified some independent forces in Kyūshū as potential reinforcements for his own army.

Kanbei Kuroda and Sadakatsu Murai swap places at the start of the battle.

Kanetsugu Naoe will arrive to assist the Oda, under orders from Kenshin Uesugi. He will see that Sakon’s forces aren’t working together to see the big picture while Nobunaga is more concerned with strengthening his power.

In the aftermath, Nobunaga grants Sakon an opportunity to demonstrate his strategy and allows Zhang Jiao, Okuni and Xiaoqiao to join his army. After an officer suggests that they should join forces with Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda, Nobunaga declines.

Chapter 4: Battle of Tong Gate 潼関の戦い

Coalition Army and Sakon Shima Troop vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Katsuie Shibata Third-party characters: Sakon Shima Enemy characters: Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Xing, Guan Suo, Hisahide Matsunaga, Munenori Yagyū, Kotarō Fūma

The kingdom of Wu had its leader Sun Jian captured and their forces forced to serve in the Orochi Army. Nobunaga decided to send Sakon Shima to aid Sun Ce, who was leading Wu in his father’s absence. Sakon was aware of the secrets of many armies, including the whereabouts of where Sun Jian was held. Nobunaga believed that if Sun Ce had that information, he would defect from the Orochi Army. However, the Orochi Army arrived to attack Nobunaga at that very moment, making Sakon’s journey extremely problematic…

Katsuie Shibata appears as an additional officer for the Oda Army. Guan Xing and Guan Suo will appear as additional officers along the Yellow River. Hisahide Matsunaga and Munenori Yagyū will also appear in the southeast.

Guide Sakon to the escape point and defeat Dong Zhuo to win the battle. Sakon will farewell Nobunaga to join forces with Sun Ce.

Chapter 5: Battle of Guandu 官渡の戦い

Coalition Army and Ling Tong Troop vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Zhang Jiao, Mitsuhide Akechi, Nagahide Niwa Third-party characters: Ling Tong Enemy characters: Da Ji, Daqiao, Diaochan, Lu Lingqi

Unlocked characters: Ling Tong

Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi overcame their differences to form a military alliance. Believing that this had only served to gather the enemy soldiers for easier disposal, Orochi gleefully sent his main forces in to wage war with them at Nagashino. Though Shingen and Kenshin were brave and cunning leaders, they were outnumbered by Orochi’s army. When Nobunaga heard what was happening, he sent his army to attack Guandu rather than send reinforcements to Nagashino.

Lu Lingqi will appear in place of Nobushige Oyamada in this battle. Ling Tong will arrive in the east to assist in this battle.

In the aftermath, Huang Zhong will report that Shingen and Kenshin have been defeated at Nagashino. However, Nobunaga foresaw that and reveals that if he went to Nagashino, the enemy would have overrun Guandu instead.

Chapter 6: Battle of Fan Castle 樊城の戦い

Coalition Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Ling Tong, Kanbei Kuroda Enemy characters: Cao Pi, Zhang He, Sun Quan, Zhou Tai, Ding Feng, Lianshi, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Xiahou Dun

After the Orochi Army were victorious at Nagashino, Orochi had his forces head to Guandu, only to find it taken by Nobunaga. This greatly lowered the Orochi Army’s morale since they were already fatigued from the long journey. Wanting to take advantage of this situation, Nobunaga lay in wait at Fan Castle…

Kanbei Kuroda will appear in place of Ittetsu Inaba and Nagayoshi Mori will appear in place of Toshiie Maeda like in the Z version of the battle.

Li Dian will appear in place of Yu Jin, Zhou Tai will appear in place of Hideyasu Yūki and Lianshi will appear near Sun Quan as an additional officer. Xiahou Ba will be replaced by a generic officer when Xiahou Dun arrives out of nowhere, intending to defeat the “pretender”, Nobunaga.

Defeat both Cao Pi and Xiahou Dun to win the battle. In the aftermath, Nobunaga advises Xiahou Dun to give Cao Pi a chance as a leader. If he needs to cross swords with a man to determine his worth, then he should do that with Cao Pi.

Chapter 7: Battle of the Wuzhang Plains 五丈原の戦い

Coalition Army and Takeda-Uesugi Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Katsuie Shibata, Toshiie Maeda Third-party characters: Kenshin Uesugi, Kanetsugu Naoe, Kagekatsu Uesugi, Shingen Takeda Enemy characters: Da Ji, Masamune Date, Keiji Maeda, Munenori Yagyū, Kojūrō Katakura, Hisahide Matsunaga

Unlocked characters: Kenshin Uesugi, Kanetsugu Naoe, Kagekatsu Uesugi, Shingen Takeda

Sakon had liased with Sun Ce, while Xiahou Dun had reconciled with Cao Pi. Nobunaga’s plans were beginning to come to fruition. Realising for the first time that Nobunaga was attempting to unite the Resistance forces into a single mighty army (or rather a united front), Orochi ordered Da Ji to have Nobunaga killed. Da Ji set forth to meet Nobunaga at the Wuzhang Plains…

Toshiie Maeda will appear in place of Ujisato Gamō from the Z version of this battle and Katsuie Shibata will appear in place of Ittetsu Inaba, who in turn appears in the northwestern garrison where Nagayoshi Mori would be.

Munenori Yagyū will appear in place of Mitsuyasu Shimura in this battle. Hisahide Matsunaga will appear in place of Zhong Hui when Da Ji sends out reinforcements near her main camp.

Later in the battle, Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda will arrive as reinforcements, having survived the Orochi Army’s attack at Nagashino. Kagekatsu Uesugi will appear in place of Kageie Kakizaki.

In the aftermath, Kenshin and Shingen join Nobunaga’s quest to defeat Orochi and Nobunaga prepares his forces for a final showdown.

Chapter 8: Battle of Koshi Castle 古志城の戦い

Coalition Army and Resistance Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nobunaga Oda, Shingen Takeda, Kenshin Uesugi, Hanbei Takenaka Third-party characters: Yu Fan, Ma Zhong, Zhang Cheng, Cao Xiu, Jiang Ji, Han Hao Enemy characters: Orochi, Da Ji, Lu Bu, Hisahide Matsunaga, Munenori Yagyū

Some variations have been made to the Chapter 8 Koshi Castle battles. In each faction’s version, they will fight one of Orochi’s main generals with the exception of Da Ji and Lu Bu, who will appear in each version. In this version of the battle, that general will be Hisahide Matsunaga.

Hisahide Matsunaga and Munenori Yagyū will appear as additional officers in the south of the battlefield. When reinforcements from Wu and Wei arrive later, they are known as the 同盟軍 in Japanese or the Wu Army in English. In this version of the game, they are known as the Resistance Army 反乱軍. Also, the reinforcements are made up of generic officers.

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 4.3: Wu Story B

Sun Shangxiang’s gone to join Liu Bei in his own quest against Da Ji. In the meantime, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan are focusing on their defenses after their first victory against Orochi…

Initial characters: Sun Jian, Sun Quan, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Lianshi, Lu Su, Han Dang, Okuni, Ranmaru Mori, Ginchiyo Tachibana, Motochika Chōsokabe

Chapter 9: Battle of Ruxukou 濡須口の戦い

Wu Army and Minamoto Army vs. Lu Bu Army → Orochi Army Allied characters: Ranmaru Mori, Zhou Tai Third-party characters: Yoshitsune Minamoto Enemy characters: Lu Bu (retreats), Chen Gong (retreats), Kotarō Fūma

Unlocked characters: Yoshitsune Minamoto

Lu Bu had raised an army. This news reached the brave warriors of Wu, who had been living in peace since the fall of the Serpent King, Orochi. Lu Bu was determined to use his might to seize power in this strange land. However, Sun Jian did nothing, not wanting Wu to contribute to the destruction of the peace that the land once enjoyed. Sending out Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Ranmaru Mori as scouts, he preferred to simply keep an eye on things for the time being. In response to Lu Bu’s actions, Dong Zhuo, Masamune Date and Cao Cao have raised armies.

While on their scouting mission, Ranmaru and the others came across a young warrior who refused to back down, even in the face of one as powerful as Lu Bu…

Lu Su is replaced by a generic officer in this battle.

Immediately after the start of the battle, Lu Bu and Chen Gong will retreat. The player will start in front of a garrison. Defeat Gao Shun and head towards the unknown warrior, who is Yoshitsune Minamoto. After this, you will need to assist Yoshitsune’s escape.

In the aftermath, Yoshitsune reveals that he is in search of someone. He joins Wu in order to find a clue to his whereabouts.

Chapter 10: Battle of Kanegasaki 金ヶ崎の戦い

Wu Army and Zhou Yu Army vs. Dong Zhuo Army Allied characters: Ling Tong, Okuni, Lu Su Third-party characters: Zhou Yu, Xiaoqiao, Ding Feng Enemy characters: Goemon Ishikawa, Dong Zhuo

Unlocked characters: Zhou Yu, Xiaoqiao, Ding Feng, Goemon Ishikawa

In Kanegasaki, enemy forces led by Dong Zhuo and Goemon Ishikawa have appeared. Okuni offers to help repel them. Sun Jian sends Ling Tong as well.

The player starts in the northeast of the battlefield. Zhou Yu and Xiaoqiao are there to assist the Wu Army. Ding Feng will appear in Zhou Yu’s army.

In the aftermath, Goemon joins Okuni in the Wu forces. Zhou Yu reveals that he had talks with Meng Huo in the south. He, Xiaoqiao and Ding Feng rejoin the Wu forces.

Chapter 11: Battle of Nanzhong 南中の戦い (uses DW5 Conquest of Nanzhong map)

Wu Army and Meng Huo Army vs. Wei Army Allied characters: Zhou Yu, Ginchiyo Tachibana, Ding Feng Third-party characters: Meng Huo, Zhurong Enemy characters: Cao Pi, Zhenji, Pang Tong, Cao Ren, Xu Shu

Unlocked characters: Meng Huo, Zhurong

Seeing Wu’s defensive stance, Cao Pi takes the opportunity to attack them. Sun Jian sends Zhou Yu to investigate.

Zhou Yu will send a message to Meng Huo, telling him to circle around to the enemy’s rear and start a fire. Meng Huo will automatically advance to the secret passageways and prepare for a fire attack.

Guo Jia is replaced by a generic officer in this battle.

In the aftermath, Meng Huo and Zhurong join the Wu forces. Zhou Yu also finds that Cao Pi’s intent was not to stir unrest, but to spur Wu into action. Suddenly, Sun Quan reports that Lu Bu is returning again with far greater numbers and an unknown general carrying prayer beads. Yoshitsune recognises the person who he is searching and quickly sets off. Sun Jian tells Sun Quan to follow him.

Chapter 12: Battle of Itsukushima 厳島の戦い

Wu Army and Sun Ce Army vs. Taira-Lu Bu Army Allied characters: Sun Quan, Motochika Chōsokabe, Yoshitsune Minamoto, Han Dang, Lianshi Third-party characters: Sun Ce, Daqiao Enemy characters: Kiyomori Taira, Lu Bu, Diaochan

Unlocked characters: Sun Ce, Daqiao

Sun Quan catches up to Yoshitsune, who introduces his enemy, Kiyomori Taira.

There will be waves of enemies attacking the main camp. Motochika finds that the enemy has used the tide to their advantage, but the tides are wrong. Yoshitsune theorises that Kiyomori may have exploited the power of the dragon god of the area and he sets off towards the shrine.

Han Dang appears in place of Chen Wu while Lianshi appears in place of Pan Zhang in this battle.

In the aftermath, Sun Ce reports that Lu Bu’s main camp at Yangping Gate is undermanned. Huang Gai offers to lead the advance.

Chapter 13: Battle of Okehazama 桶狭間の戦い

Wu Army and Xu Zhu Army vs. Date Army Allied characters: Huang Gai, Goemon Ishikawa, Lu Su Third-party characters: Xu Zhu, Pang De Enemy characters: Masamune Date, Sima Yi, Keiji Maeda, Sima Shi, Kojūrō Katakura, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa

Unlocked characters: Xu Zhu, Pang De

After the events at Itsukushima, Sun Jian made his decision. “Wu will stand and fight!” On their way to Yangping Gate, they were confronted by the Date Army at Okehazama…

Sima Shi appears in place of Sima Zhao, Deng Ai appears in place of Zhu Ling, Motonari Mōri appears in place of Guo Huai and Takakage Kobayakawa appears in place of Niu Jin.

In the aftermath, Xu Zhu and Pang De will join the Wu Army. Huang Gai reports to Sun Jian that they are ready to advance on Yangping Gate.

Chapter 14: Battle of Yangping Gate 陽平関の戦い

Wu Army and Ma Chao Army vs. Lu Bu Army Allied characters: Sun Ce, Pang De, Xu Zhu, Han Dang Third-party characters: Ma Chao, Ma Dai Enemy characters: Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi, Diaochan, Lu Bu

Unlocked characters: Ma Chao, Ma Dai

The Wu Army continued towards Yangping Gate. Just as Sun Ce had predicted, Lu Bu’s main force was away and so the gate was ripe for attack.

Xu Zhu will appear in place of Zhuge Ke (Luo) in this battle. Lu Lingqi will appear in the northeast to charge at the main camp once Chen Gong closes the centre gates.

In the aftermath, Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who joined the battle as reinforcements, will join the Wu forces.

Chapter 15: Battle of Yamazaki 山崎の戦い

Wu Army and Lu Bu Army vs. Taira Army Allied characters: Sun Jian, Meng Huo, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Zhurong, Ding Feng Third-party characters: Lu Bu, Diaochan, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi (originally enemies, all four defect mid-stage) Enemy characters: Kiyomori Taira, Sun Wukong, Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Zhang Chunhua

Unlocked characters: Lu Bu, Diaochan, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi

The attack on Yangping Gate was all part of Kiyomori’s plan. By using the weakened defences there to lure them out, Kiyomori could then easily surround and annihilate the Wu Army. The Wu Army are surrounded at Yamazaki by the trio of Kiyomori, Lu Bu and Sima Yi…

Ding Feng will appear in place of Zhuge Jin, Ma Chao will appear in place of Jiang Qin, Ma Dai will appear in place of Dong Tuna and Zhurong will appear in place of Ahui Nan.

Lu Lingqi will appear in place of Gao Shun, turning against Kiyomori alongside her father.

Sima Shi will appear in place of Sima Zhao and Zhang Chunhua will appear in place of Guo Huai.

When Kiyomori is defeated, he will remark that “the wheels are already in motion…” In the aftermath, Yoshitsune speaks to Sun Quan about Kiyomori. Though he was Yoshitsune’s rival, he was a great man, but that was before he sold his soul to Orochi. Being asked what he will do now that Kiyomori has been killed, Yoshitsune says that he will follow Lu Bu, as he is attracted to his power. Zhou Yu also reports that Orochi has been resurrected and his army is assembling at Chibi.

Chapter 16: Battle of Chibi 赤壁の戦い

Wu-Lu Bu Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Sun Jian, Motochika Chōsokabe, Lu Su, Han Dang, Lu Bu, Diaochan, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi Enemy characters: Orochi X, Dong Zhuo, Keiji Maeda, Hisahide Matsunaga, Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa, Diamondback

Some variations have been made for the Chapter 16 battles against Orochi X. In each faction’s version, they will fight four of Orochi’s main generals. In this version of the battle, those generals will be Dong Zhuo, Keiji Maeda, Hisahide Matsunaga and Motonari Mōri.

On their way to Chibi, Lu Bu charges through the soldiers of the Wu Army. He is after one target – Orochi…

Han Dang appears in place of Sun Shao in this battle. Hisahide Matsunaga appears in place of Da Ji while also taking her place in the event that plays at the start of the battle. Dong Zhuo will appear in the northwest of the battlefield while Motonari Mōri and Takakage Kobayakawa will appear in the northeast.

The Lu Bu Army was originally a third-party army, but they are part of the allied army in this version. Diaochan appears in place of Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi appears in place of Wei Xu.

In the aftermath, everyone celebrates their victory against Orochi. Yoshitsune sees an image of Lu Bu, but nothing is there. Sun Jian inadvertently compliments Lu Bu before going back to the celebrations.

That’s it for the Wu story! Up next is the Samurai Warriors story!

Orochi Army and Ishida Army vs. Resistance Army Allied characters: Sun Ce, Hanzō Hattori, Zhou Yu Third-party characters: Mitsunari Ishida Enemy characters: Mitsuhide Akechi, Huang Zhong, Xiaoqiao, Kotarō Fūma

Unlockable character: Kotarō Fūma

Clear Chapter 1 to unlock this stage.

Sun Ce based himself at Changshan to prepare for his next battle, but was attacked by Resistance forces led by Mitsuhide Akechi. They seized the storehouses before Sun Ce could organise his defences. Therefore it became imperative to reclaim the storehouses as quickly as possible…

Mitsunari Ishida will only appear as support if all three supply captains have been defeated.

To unlock Kotarō, defeat him after all three supply captains and wood oxen have reached the main camp. Finally, defeat Mitsuhide to win the battle.

Chapter 3-X: Battle of Jianye Castle 建業城の戦い

Coalition Army and Nō Troop vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Lu Meng, Taishi Ci Third-party characters: Nō Enemy characters: Fa Zheng, Dong Zhuo, Masamune Date, Zhenji

Unlockable character: Nō

Clear Chapter 3 to unlock this stage.

Upon learning that Sakon Shima was sent to Sun Ce under orders from Nobunaga Oda, Sun Ce decided to repay this debt. Nobunaga’s wife, Lady Nō, was being held by the Orochi Army in Jianye Castle. Sun Ce sent Lu Meng and Taishi Ci on a mission to rescue her.

Orochi Army officers will appear to stop Lu Meng and the others. Enemy messengers will continually be sent for extra reinforcements. Defeat the messengers to prevent the reinforcements from arriving.

To unlock Nō, ensure that no messengers escape the castle. There are a total of twelve messengers appearing three at a time escaping through one side each. Also note that Nobunaga Oda cannot be in your team when you play this battle. Defeat all enemy officers to win the battle.

Chapter 4-X: Battle of Wan Castle 宛城の戦い

Coalition Army and Kunoichi Troop vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Ieyasu Tokugawa, Hanzō Hattori Third-party characters: Kunoichi, Yoshimoto Imagawa Enemy characters: Jia Xu, Kojirō Sasaki, Zhenji

Unlockable character: Kunoichi

Clear Chapter 4 to unlock this stage.

Ieyasu Tokugawa defected from Orochi’s forces at the same time as Sun Ce. Since then, he offers aid to the various Resistance units fighting against Orochi’s rule. When he arrived in response to a distress call from Wan Castle, he found it already in flames after an attack from the Orochi Army. Ieyasu bravely plunged into the inferno to rescue as many as he could…

The battlefield will be on fire throughout this stage. There will be various people trying to escape, from peasants, lady samurai and handmaidens to the village chief and even Yoshimoto Imagawa. Enemies will come every time an escaping unit appears. Defeat those enemies to aid their escape. When they successfully escape, they will offer gifts to the player.

In the original game, certain officers would only appear when the escapees struggle to or fail to escape over a certain number of times. In this version, those officers will appear when playing this stage on Hard or Chaos difficulty.

Jia Xu will appear in place of Guo Jia and Kojirō Sasaki will appear in place of Pang De in this battle.

Kunoichi will appear to reinforce Ieyasu. To unlock her, make sure all peasants escape, including Yoshimoto.

Finally, Zhenji will arrive. Defeat her to win the battle.

Chapter 5-X: Battle of Anegawa 姉川の戦い

Unlockable character: Daqiao

Clear Chapter 5 to unlock this stage.

At Sekigahara, Sun Ce tasked his wife, Daqiao, to give support to his brother, who was still fighting for the Orochi Army. However, Orochi turned upon her as a traitor and sent Dong Zhuo to attack her. Sun Ce immediately sprang to her aid upon hearing of her plight…

Zhang Chunhua will appear in place of Guo Huai in the western garrison. Motonari Mōri and Takakage Kobayakawa will appear in place of Zhang He and Niu Jin as you approach the gate to the eastern garrison.

To unlock Daqiao, rescue her within the first 7 minutes of battle (originally 5).

Chapter 6-X: Battle of Ōsaka Bay 大坂湾の戦い

Coalition Army (and Yoshimoto Imagawa) vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Lu Meng, Masanobu Honda, Lu Su, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Zhou Tai, Ina, Hanzō Hattori Third-party characters: Yoshimoto Imagawa Enemy characters: Lu Lingqi

Unlockable character: Lu Lingqi

Clear Chapter 6 to unlock this stage.

A letter arrived for Sun Ce. It was a challenge, issued by Lu Lingqi. Lu Lingqi followed her father into joining the Orochi Army, but she began questioning their ways after seeing Diaochan turn on the Orochi Army. Lu Meng was sent to find out where Lu Lingqi’s true loyalties lay…

This is one of few stages where the unlockable character is different from the original. This was done to maintain Keiji’s status as a staunch officer of the Orochi Army (and to account for future appearances in other stories).

Lu Lingqi appears in place of Keiji Maeda in this stage. Lu Su appears in place of Zhu Zhi as the first allied reinforcement unit to arrive.

Every couple of minutes, Lu Meng will make an announcement that reinforcements are arriving, at which point you need to head to the main camp and sound the drum, otherwise Masanobu Honda will sound the drum for you after one minute. You will need to guide the allied reinforcements to the enemy main camp while defending the allied main camp from the enemy.

Yoshimoto Imagawa will also appear, without having to sound the war drum, a couple of minutes after Hanzō arrives. Guide him to the enemy camp as well.

To unlock Lu Lingqi, have all allied officers (with or without Yoshimoto) arrive at the gates of the enemy camp within 20 minutes and defeat her to win the battle. If this has not been met after 20 minutes, Lu Lingqi will take her chances with her father and Orochi.

Chapter 7-X: Battle of Ji Province 冀州の戦い (uses DW5 Battle of Ji Province map)

Coalition Army vs./and Honda Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Lu Su, Sakon Shima, Taishi Ci, Naomasa Ii Initial enemy/Third-party characters: Tadakatsu Honda Actual enemy characters: Dong Zhuo, Hisahide Matsunaga, Munenori Yagyū, Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa

Unlockable character: Tadakatsu Honda (3/4)

Clear Chapter 6-X to unlock this stage.

Sun Ce became privy to information that the Orochi Army were marching on the altar in Ji Province. If the altar were lost to Orochi, it would have dire consequences. Lu Su set out to defend the altar, but he did not find the Orochi Army, but another terrible warrior standing guard…

Yukinaga Asano replaces Munenori Yagyū for the Honda Army in this battle. For the Orochi Army, Hisahide Matsunaga replaces Masamune Date while Munenori Yagyū, Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa and other Mōri officers will replace the Date officers along with Naohide and Yasusato Matsuda.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Tadakatsu Honda. To impress him, defeat him yourself when he appears for the second time within 5 minutes (originally 2).

Chapter 8-X: Battle of Chibi 赤壁の戦い

Coalition Army and Lu Xun Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Ieyasu Tokugawa, Sakon Shima, Ranmaru Mori, Naotora Ii Third-party characters: Lu Xun Enemy characters: Orochi, Da Ji, Lu Bu, Masamune Date, Kojūrō Katakura

Unlockable character: Lu Bu (3/4)

In Chapter 7, rescue Sun Jian and Sun Quan within 7 minutes of the start of battle to unlock this stage. This was originally 3 minutes but all the message spam in the game would potentially prevent it from happening unless you paused the game until the voice line finished.

The Sun family was reunited again, but Orochi gathered all his soldiers at Chibi, hoping to stop them from reaching Koshi Castle. Ieyasu and Sakon advanced in an attempt to wipe out the Orochi Army…

Ranmaru Mori appears in place of Zhu Zhi and Naotora Ii appears in place of Chunyu Qiong in this battle. Kojūrō Katakura appears in the northeast part of the battlefield. Yang Qiu appears in place of Zhu Ran as well.

Orochi will appear in this battle if Chapter 8 has been cleared.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Lu Bu. To impress him, just defeat him without running away from him. However, if you confront Orochi/Da Ji without going near Lu Bu, he will charge upon the allied main camp.

Ma Chao banded together some scattered units and led them to Mt. Dingjun. Sun Ce was sent there to suppress this Resistance unit. Though he does not like the prospect of fighting for Orochi, he does so both to protect his family and friends and to test his skill on some worthy opponents.

However, when they arrive, Sakon has not arrived yet, so they decide to supress the Resistance.

Lu Su replaces Ranmaru Mori in this battle and he will take Zhou Yu’s line about stopping the enemy reinforcements. Toyohisa Shimazu replaces Zhang Bao as well (Zhang Bao will have been captured in Chapter 1), with his place in the Shimazu reinforcements taken by Toshihisa Shimazu.

To win the battle, Sun Ce and Sun Jian need to reach the escape point (which is basically where you started, but once the father and son are about to escape, more Orochi defence units confront them. Sun Jian offers to stand his ground to allow Sun Ce to escape.

Sea Princesses 20th Anniversary Update

2024 marks 20 years since the first Sea Princesses book, which would later be known as The World of Salacia, was published in Brazil. To celebrate, I'm writing a special one-off fanfic set in an amalgamated universe combining elements of the book series, the animated series, the Yabuverse (Combo Rangers), the Kisekaeverse (my personal project) and the Liamverse (renaissance). The fanfic will begin publication in October 2024 with new chapters to be released on Saturdays.

At the time of writing, series creator Fabio Yabu has no plans for the 20th anniversary of Sea Princesses, but if he announces something that conflicts with the release schedule, then that will take priority so I can work on translating it. More side story saga releases are in the works, but my focus is on the main story for now.

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 3.3: Wei Story B

After the first defeat of Orochi, Cao Cao hands over the defence of the kingdom to his son, Cao Pi as he sets off on a journey to explore the world of Orochi. Join us as we meet old friends, new enemies and the old nemesis on our journey!

Initial characters: Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Zhang He, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Nuwa, Kunoichi

Chapter 9: Battle of Si Province 司州の戦い (uses DW5XL Imperial Rescue map)

Wei Army vs. Sun Wukong Army Allied characters: Cao Cao, Nuwa, Xun Yu, Sun Li Enemy characters: Sun Wukong, Dong Zhuo

Following Orochi’s death, some of his officers rose in rebellion, plunging the land into chaos once more. Cao Cao, Nuwa and some Wei officers set off, leaving the defence of the kingdom to Cao Pi. Kunoichi appears, reporting to Cao Cao that “an army led by a monkey” has been spotted ahead. Cao Cao decides to investigate.

Cao Cao’s ambush unit is replaced by Wei officers as the officers that appear in the original stage are part of Nobunaga’s army, who do not join until very late into the story.

In the aftermath, Cao Cao tells Nuwa that she should not take advantage of him. Kunoichi will report that Lu Bu has been sighted at Sishui Gate.

Chapter 10: Battle of Sishui Gate 汜水関の戦い

Wei Army and Xiahou Dun Army vs. Lu Bu Army Allied characters: Cao Cao, Kunoichi, Guo Jia Third-party characters: Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai Enemy characters: Lu Bu, Diaochan, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi, Kotarō Fūma

Unlocked characters: Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai

Guo Jia replaces Xun Yu in this battle. Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai will accompany Xiahou Yuan alongside Han Hao as they move to execute the fire attack. Lu Lingqi will be among the units attacking Xiahou Dun in the centre.

In the aftermath, Xiahou Dun and the others join Cao Cao’s army. Nuwa compliments Cao Cao, who tells her not to waste time testing his abilities. Nuwa will then tell Cao Cao that Da Ji is working to resurrect Orochi and the monkey’s master (Kiyomori) is working towards the same goal. Cao Cao decides to request his son to gather as much aid as possible and sends Zhang He to recruit Yuan Shao to their cause. Cao Cao will also send messages for help as well.

Chapter 11: Battle of Shizugatake 賤ヶ岳の戦い

Wei Army and Taishi Ci Army vs. Yuan Shao Army Allied characters: Zhang He, Jia Xu, Cao Rui Third-party characters: Taishi Ci Enemy characters: Yuan Shao, Jiang Wei

Unlocked characters: Jiang Wei, Taishi Ci, Yuan Shao

After the first battle with Orochi, Jiang Wei left Shu to test his strength and joined Yuan Shao, who had been building up his forces at Shizugatake. Zhang He arrives, hoping to gain the cooperation of Yuan Shao.

If he is not in your team, Jia Xu appears in place of Xun You and will take his place in the plan to convince Yuan Tan to defect.

In the aftermath, Jiang Wei questions if Cao Cao is becoming the next Orochi by absorbing other factions into his army. Yuan Shao dismisses this and joins Wei. Taishi Ci also joins to answer Cao Pi’s request for reinforcements from Wu.

Chapter 12: Battle of Ji Castle 冀城の戦い

Wei Army and Saika Renegades vs. Sima Yi Army Allied characters: Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai Third-party characters: Magoichi Saika, Toshiie Maeda Enemy characters: Sima Yi, Sun Wukong, Sima Shi, Zhang Chunhua, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Zhuge Dan, Yu Jin

Unlocked characters: Magoichi Saika, Toshiie Maeda

Sun Wukong was tasked by Kiyomori to capture talented officers to work for his army. Thus the land was split between those wishing to revive Orochi under Kiyomori and those wishing to prevent the resurrection under Cao Cao. Kunoichi spots Sun Wukong again and Cao Cao sends Xiahou Yuan to lead an assault.

The third army is called the Maeda Army 前田軍 in the original game, but they are called the Saika Renegades 雑賀衆 in this version as Toshiie is the odd one out of that army. The enemy army was called the Date Army 伊達軍 in the original game but they are called the Sima Yi Army 司馬懿軍 in this version because no Date officers are featured in this battle.

Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai replace Xiahou Wei and Xiahou Shang in this battle. Zhang Chunhua replaces Guo Huai on the enemy side. Yu Jin appears in the centre of the battlefield among the units attacking Ji Castle. Sima Shi replaces Sima Zhao and Zhuge Dan replaces Xin Pi in the ambush unit.

In the aftermath, Magoichi and Toshiie will join the Wei Army. Nuwa comments that Cao Cao and Kiyomori are the same in a sense.

Chapter 13: Battle of Komaki-Nagakute 小牧長久手の戦い

Wei Army and Cao Pi Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Cao Cao, Dian Wei Third-party characters: Cao Pi, Zhenji, Cao Ren, Pang Tong, Xu Shu Enemy characters: Orochi, Kiyomori Taira, Sun Wukong, Diamondback, Dodomeki, Gyūki

Unlocked characters: Cao Pi, Zhenji, Cao Ren, Pang Tong, Xu Shu

Kiyomori has awakened Orochi and taken him to the battlefield, in the hope of fighting the warriors of Wei. This is reported to Cao Cao by Dian Wei. They hurry to save Cao Pi from certain death.

In the original games, Orochi cannot be fought unless you use a cheat code to walk through walls. In this version, you can fight Orochi after completing a secret mission; you need to have cleared this stage once, then Pang Tong’s fire attack needs to be executed within the first 8 minutes of the battle. If successful, then Orochi will challenge you to face him after Kiyomori comments that he must put an end to this battle himself. In either case, Kiyomori or Orochi can be defeated to win the battle. This will apply to Story Mode and not Free Mode.

Regardless of who is defeated, Kiyomori will teleport Orochi away. In the aftermath, Nuwa informs Cao Cao that in order to fully revive, Orochi requires a girl named Himiko. Despite his chagrin of Nuwa withholding information from him, Cao Cao declares that they must find Himiko.

Chapter 14: Battle of Yamatai 邪馬台の戦い

Wei Army and Azai Army vs. Da Ji Army Allied characters: Cao Rui, Toshiie Maeda, Jiang Wei Third-party characters: Nagamasa Azai, Oichi Enemy characters: Da Ji, Himiko, Keiji Maeda, Hisahide Matsunaga

Unlocked characters: Nagamasa Azai, Oichi

Jiang Wei and Toshiie Maeda set off to find Da Ji and Himiko. They spot them after a while in a place called Yamatai.

Hisahide Matsunaga will appear among the ambush units defending the cannon fortress.

After Da Ji’s defeat, Himiko will be spotted travelling towards Tong Gate. Cao Cao sends Xiahou Dun to Tong Gate.

Chapter 15: Battle of Tong Gate 潼関の戦い

Wei Army and Oda Army vs. Taira Army Allied characters: Xiahou Dun, Magoichi Saika Third-party characters: Nobunaga Oda, Nō, Katsuie Shibata Enemy characters: Kiyomori Taira, Diamondback, Sun Wukong, Dong Zhuo

Unlocked characters: Nobunaga Oda, Nō, Katsuie Shibata

A bit of a spoiler alert for a future part – Nobunaga Oda originally appeared in both the Wei and Samurai Warriors stories for Part B. Personally, I find that to be illogical and it robs Mitsunari Ishida of any significant relevance since he doesn’t even have any special character encounter lines in this stage. As such, Nobunaga will appear in the Wei story while Mitsunari will appear in the Samurai Warriors story alongside Hideyoshi Toyotomi.

Magoichi Saika will appear as an extra officer in this stage. Nō will appear in place of Mitsunari Ishida when the Oda Army arrives.

In the aftermath, Cao Cao thanks Nobunaga for his reinforcements. They prepare to defeat Orochi, who has revived in Guandu.

Chapter 16: Battle of Guandu 官渡の戦い

Wei Army and Coalition Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Cao Cao, Nobunaga Oda, Yuan Shao, Xu Shu, Taishi Ci Third-party characters: Liao Hua, Dong Jue, Guan Yi, Zhuge Ke, Quan Zong, Chen Wu Enemy characters: Orochi X, Keiji Maeda, Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Zhuge Dan, Zhang Chunhua, Gyūki, Himiko, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Yu Jin, Dong Zhuo

Unlocked characters: Sun Wukong

Yuan Shao will appear in place of Hanbei Takenaka, Xu Shu will appear in place of Nobumori Sakuma and Taishi Ci will appear in place of Xun You. When the Coalition Army appears later on in this battle, generic officers will appear in place of the playable officers featured.

Sima Shi and Zhuge Dan appear in place of Masamune Date and Kojūrō Katakura at Guandu Castle, with Sima Yi’s officers replacing the Date officers. Zhang Chunhua appears in place of Sima Zhao while Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Yu Jin and Dong Zhuo will appear with Orochi’s main forces.

So, Wei’s story finishes here! Next up will be Wu’s story!

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 3.2: Wei Side Stages

Many officers of Wei were not happy to be used as Orochi’s puppets under the name of an alliance. Zhang He began to feel discontented with the situation. He accompanied Cao Pi to Nanzhong to supress the Resistance. The battle progressed smoothly until Zhang He stopped fighting, forcing Cao Pi to convince him to fight.

Xu Shu is replaced by another generic officer for this battle. Nobuyuki Sanada and Ginchiyo Tachibana also appear in this battle.

To unlock Zhang He, defeat the two enemy officers attacking him and have Cao Pi speak with him, whether as a player or an ally. Once he is convinced, Zhang He needs to stay alive to the end of the battle, which is when all enemies are defeated.

Unlockable character: Yoshimoto Imagawa

Upon hearing that Resistance units under Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi were using a base in the Saika Territory, Cao Pi ordered Zhang Liao to investigate. When this was confirmed, immediate suppression was necessary.

Yue Jin replaces Man Chong in this battle. Kagekatsu Uesugi will appear in place of Kageie Kakizaki when the Takeda and Uesugi forces arrive.

To unlock Yoshimoto, prevent the enemy engineers from infiltrating the central garrison and launching a fire attack. There will be a total of 8 coming in two waves, at first one at a time then two at a time. They will all appear in an anti-clockwise direction on the map.

Chapter 5-X: Battle of the Five Gates 五関突破戦

Coalition Army and Diaochan Troop vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Mitsunari Ishida, Zhang Liao Third-party characters: Diaochan Enemy characters: Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi

Unlockable character: Diaochan

Clear Chapter 5 to unlock this stage.

Diaochan joined the Orochi Army with Lu Bu when he was defeated in the initial battle at Xiapi. However, she was unhappy and disillusioned with the path that Lu Bu was taking and chose to defect, hoping to make Lu Bu see his own folly. However, an incensed Dong Zhuo immediately began pursuit before they spot Mitsunari Ishida, who had decided to help Diaochan.

Lu Lingqi will be past the first gate while Chen Gong will advance with Dong Zhuo.

To unlock Diaochan, make sure she stays alive during the battle and clear the battle within 10 minutes (originally 6:40 min).

Chapter 6-X: Battle of Liang Province 涼州の戦い

Coalition Army and Zhenji Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Cao Pi, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba, Guo Huai Third-party characters: Zhenji Enemy characters: Dong Zhuo, Kotarō Fūma, Cao Pi (fake)

Unlockable character: Zhenji

Clear Chapter 6 to unlock this stage.

When Cao Pi declared Wei’s independence from Orochi, Zhenji followed suit and led an army to Liang Province. Orochi dispatched Dong Zhuo to eradicate this resistance and so, the three clash at Liang Province…

Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai respectively replace Cao Xiu and Hideie Ukita in this battle.

To unlock Zhenji, defeat all sorcerers and the imposter Cao Pi within 10 minutes of the start of battle. Make sure you get all these goals before defeating Dong Zhuo. Help Zhenji clear the enemies around her if you can.

Chapter 7-X: Struggle for Nanzhong 南中争覇戦 (uses DW5 map)

Coalition Army and Honda Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Nagamasa Azai, Gan Ning, Oichi Third-party characters: Tadakatsu Honda Enemy characters: Masamune Date, Kojūrō Katakura, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo

Unlockable character: Tadakatsu Honda (2/4)

Cao Pi ordered Nagamasa Azai to lay siege to the key Orochi outpost of Nanzhong in the south, but he saw a mysterious army in battle with Orochi…

When Tadakatsu roars on the battlefield, Chen Lan and Lei Bo (newly added) are the officers who defect.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Tadakatsu Honda. To impress him, rescue his two sons, Tadamasa and Tadatomo, and defeat Lu Bu by yourself (no kill-stealing!).

Chapter 8-X: Battle of New Hefei Castle 合肥新城の戦い

Coalition Army and Sun Ce Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Cao Cao, Yue Jin, Yoshitsugu Ōtani Third-party characters: Sun Ce Enemy characters: Orochi, Da Ji, Lu Bu, Keiji Maeda, Kojirō Sasaki, Hisahide Matsunaga

Unlockable character: Lu Bu (2/4)

In Chapter 7, defeat Da Ji within 3 minutes of her defection (originally 1) to unlock this stage.

With the news that Cao Cao was still alive, Orochi became enraged and challenged Wei to a battle to end all battles.

Kojirō Sasaki and a generic officer will appear in the northwest as reinforcements. Hisahide Matsunaga and two more generic officers will arrive in the northeast just as Sun Ce arrives, which is either when Cao Cao’s plan is successful (they would originally not appear in this case) or when 10 minutes have passed and the plan isn’t successful yet or has failed. Hisahide’s unit is a fire attack unit, so if they are not defeated in a few minutes, all the ships in the east will go up in flames.

Orochi will appear in this battle if Chapter 8 has been cleared.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Lu Bu. To impress him, just defeat him without running away from him.

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 3.1: Wei Story A

Wei’s story begins here!

Initial Characters: Cao Pi, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao

Chapter 1: Battle of Kuzegawa 杭瀬川の戦い

Orochi Army and Da Ji Army vs. Resistance Army Allied characters: Cao Pi, Xu Huang Third-party characters: Da Ji, Mitsunari Ishida Enemy characters: Huang Gai, Xu Zhu, Zhang Jiao, Motochika Chōsokabe, Muneshige Tachibana, Xiahou Yuan

Unlocked characters: Xu Zhu, Yue Jin, Yoshitsugu Ōtani

Da Ji orders Cao Pi to attack bandits at Kuzegawa. With her is Mitsunari Ishida, who will be attacking the south.

Motochika Chōsokabe and Muneshige Tachibana appear in the centre and west of the battlefield respectively.

In the aftermath, Cao Pi allows Huang Gai to leave, while Xu Zhu joins Cao Pi. Two hostages from Orochi’s initial attack on the Wei forces, Yue Jin and Yoshitsugu Ōtani, are released and sent to work under Cao Pi.

Chapter 2: Battle of Tianshui 天水の戦い

Orochi Army and Da Ji Army vs. Resistance Army Allied characters: Cao Pi, Yoshitsugu Ōtani, Yue Jin Third-party characters: Da Ji, Mitsunari Ishida, Zhuge Liang, Guan Suo Enemy characters: Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Hanbei Takenaka, Kanbei Kuroda, Huang Gai, Guan Ping, Nobunaga Oda, Toshiie Maeda, Katsuie Shibata

Unlocked characters: Li Dian, Mitsunari Ishida

When Tianshui was attacked by Resistance forces led by Nobunaga Oda, Cao Pi was sent again to suppress the rebellion.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi replaces Mitsuhide Akechi in this battle. Hanbei and Kanbei appear as additional officers attacking the western and central garrisons respectively. Toshiie and Katsuie will appear as reinforcements after Nobunaga arrives.

After the battle, Da Ji requests Cao Pi and Mitsunari to work together, much to their chagrin. Li Dian will also be released from Orochi’s custody.

Chapter 3: Battle of Xiakou 夏口の戦い

Orochi Army and Da Ji Army vs. Resistance Army Allied characters: Cao Pi, Mitsunari Ishida Third-party characters: Sun Quan, Da Ji Enemy characters: Sun Ce, Naomasa Ii, Ranmaru Mori, Naotora Ii, Han Dang, Zhou Yu

Unlocked characters: Cai Wenji

Sun Ce rebelled against the Serpent King following an attempted prison break involving his father. Orochi ordered Sun Quan to defeat his brother and Cao Pi to assist him.

Naotora Ii appears in place of Liu Gui (Han). A generic officer will replace Zhong Hui when reinforcements appear in the northwest.

Like with the Battle of Hulao Gate (Shu Chapter 6), there is a messenger that appears where a bridge to the southeast would be when Zhou Yu arrives who doesn’t seem to serve any purpose other than to give 600 EXP when defeated. He is removed in this version.

If the player is fast enough to defeat Sun Ce, a few details will be missed. Even if Sun Ce arrives at the dock, there is still time even after Zhou Yu arrives before Sun Ce can escape.

In the end, Cao Pi allows Sun Ce to escape with Zhou Yu. He and Mitsunari report to a suspicious Da Ji that Zhou Yu managed to outsmart them by using an imposter, allowing Sun Ce to escape. Cai Wenji is the next to be released by Orochi.

Chapter 4: Battle of Yiling 夷陵の戦い

Orochi Army and Sun Shangxiang Army vs. Resistance Army Allied characters: Cao Pi, Mitsunari Ishida, Xu Zhu, Li Dian Third-party characters: Sun Shangxiang, Ina, Lianshi Enemy characters: Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Pang Tong, Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba

Unlocked characters: Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Pang Tong, Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba, Wang Yi

The actions of Cao Pi were in preparation for his eventual rebellion, such as releasing Huang Gai and Sun Ce. However, there was one more element he needed before he could rebel, and that was Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. They were an independent resistance group since Wei’s defeat to Orochi. Cao Pi and Mitsunari head out to Yiling, assisted by Sun Shangxiang’s forces. Cao Pi heads to the southeast while Sun Shangxiang heads to the northwest.

Li Dian replaces Xu Shu, Xiahou Ba replaces Li Dian and Lianshi replaces Dong Xi in this battle. Guo Huai appears in the centre of the battlefield.

In the aftermath, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Pang Tong will join Cao Pi alongside Xiahou Ba and Guo Huai. Wang Yi will also be released from custody.

Chapter 5: Battle of Odawara Castle 小田原城の戦い (uses SW2 east map)

Coalition Army and Huang Gai Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Cao Pi, Mitsunari Ishida, Cai Wenji, Wang Yi Third-party characters: Huang Gai Enemy characters: Da Ji, Sun Jian, Cao Cao (both illusions), Motonari Mōri, Takakage Kobayakawa

Unlocked characters: Huang Gai

With all preparations complete, Cao Pi was ready to rebel against Orochi. He leaked a false rumour that Sun Jian was being held in Odawara Castle in order to encourage Huang Gai’s army to attack. Cao Pi also heads to the main keep, intending on capturing Da Ji, only for the castle to be set alight by Da Ji.

Cai Wenji is on the bottom right chamber of the main keep’s lower level while Wang Yi is with the allied units in the north of the battlefield. Motonari and Takakage will appear in the southeast of the battlefield when Da Ji calls for reinforcements.

At the end of the battle, Cao Pi will ask Da Ji to work for him and she agrees. Huang Gai pledges his service to Cao Pi after saving his life on three occasions.

Chapter 6: Battle of Chencang 陳倉の戦い

Coalition Army and Da Ji Army vs. Azai Army Allied characters: Cao Pi, Xiahou Dun, Mitsunari Ishida, Xiahou Yuan Third-party characters: Da Ji Enemy characters: Nagamasa Azai, Oichi, Gan Ning

Unlocked characters: Nagamasa Azai, Oichi, Gan Ning

Cao Pi declared Wei’s independence from Orochi, continuing to strengthen his army in preparation for the clash with Orochi. He advanced on Chencang, defended by Nagamasa Azai, intending to have them join his army.

There are practically no changes in this battle.

In the aftermath, Cao Pi allows Nagamasa, Oichi and Gan Ning to join his army.

Chapter 7: Battle of Yamazaki 山崎の戦い

Coalition Army and Da Ji Army → Cao Cao Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Cao Pi, Mitsunari Ishida, Huang Gai, Pang Tong, Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba Third-party characters: Da Ji (defects), Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Xun Yu, Guo Jia Enemy characters: Dong Zhuo, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Zhuge Dan

Unlocked characters: Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Xun Yu

Cao Pi advanced his army to the key Orochi Army outpost at Yamazaki. Waiting for him there were the strategists Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

Generic officers Li Dian, Xiahou Wei, Xiahou De and Yue Jin are replaced with Huang Gai, Pang Tong, Guo Huai and Xiahou Ba in this battle.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia replace Xun You and Han Hao when they arrive with Cao Cao and Dian Wei. Sima Shi and Zhuge Dan will stand in your way on the path to Mt. Tennō.

It turns out that Cao Cao did not die in Orochi’s assault of his army. After Dong Zhuo’s defeat, Cao Cao allows Cao Pi to continue leading his army, recognising the allies he has made on his journey.

Chapter 8: Battle of Koshi Castle 古志城の戦い

Coalition Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Mitsunari Ishida, Dian Wei, Xun Yu, Guo Jia Enemy characters: Orochi, Da Ji, Lu Bu, Masamune Date, Kojūrō Katakura, Diamondback

Cao Cao allows his son to lead his army for this final battle against Orochi. Dian Wei, Xun Yu and Guo Jia will join them as well. Owing to Keiji Maeda’s absence in this battle, Kojūrō Katakura will be defending the southern cannon fortress in this battle.

In the aftermath, the Wei officers rejoice following Orochi’s defeat. Cao Pi meets with Mitsunari and the officers he has taken in over the many battles. Cao Pi and Mitsunari discuss Cao Pi’s unfulfilled dream and how he will need everyone’s help to fulfil it.

Hi. I’ve been reading your Sea Princesses cartoon reviews. Being a Latin American that used to watch the series on Discovery Kids as a child, I got surprised at the fact that the Princes and Princesses’ original Brazilian names weren’t translated in the English version. The princesses’ pets had their names translated (Tenty, Spikey, Gummy), so the choice of not doing that to the main characters, at least for me, ends up being jarring. As you may know, the names of the latter are based on the Brazilian names of the species that each represent, usually forming a straight-up pun. The kind of pun that makes one say “Was there any thought in choosing these names?”. Based on how strange I’ve found having language references that only a few can understand, I’ve decided to make a list of possible English names for Salacia’s royalty (Miss Marla included). If you’ve seen the cartoon “Fish Hooks”, you may realize some influence of its pun-based character names on my, shall we say, “translations”. Without further ado, here we go:

Polvina – Octina

Ester – The writing of Ester’s name remains the same, but her name is pronounced as “Es-TER”, just like in the Spanish dubs.

Tubarina – Sharkina

Marcello – Hamar

Hugo – Telmo

Tata – Tara

Maurico – Tarchin

Bia – The name remains unchanged

Leia (a name that I’m surprised didn’t call the attention of Lucasfilm lawyers back in the day) – Wendy

Marli – Sora

Sirilo – Brad

Vivi – Nelly

Isa – Either the name remains unchanged or the character is named “Aisha”

Juli – Clara

Jessi – Claudia

Elektra – The name remains unchanged

Lia – The name remains unchanged

Delfi – Dolphie

Angelica – The name and its English pronunciation remain unchanged

Soraia – Finley

Camarina – Shrimpina

Caramelo – Stanley

Socita – Gretel

Agostinha – Leslie

Matilda – Helen

Veto – Kash (with a K and not a C)

Caton – Samuel

Miss Marla – Miss Chelsea (Ruby Gillman, where?)

That would be all. What do you think about my translations?

You're either a genius with puns or stepping dangerously into 4Kids localisation territory here. It took me some time to understand what you were going for, but looking at the character names in Fish Hooks, they made the puns more obvious whereas here you have to think about it for more than 10 seconds.

However, I would have named Maurico as "Murchin" or "Murchison" because above him you already had two names starting with T and it felt a bit jarring.

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 2.3: Shu Story B

The Orochi Story was the only story that had a full consecutive story. All other kingdoms (with the exception of Jin) have two separate stories based on the original stories in Warriors Orochi 1 and 2.

Initial Characters: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xingcai, Liu Shan, Guan Xing, Guan Yinping, Sun Shangxiang, Hanzō Hattori, Yoshimoto Imagawa, Tadakatsu Honda, Ina, Naotora Ii, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Munenori Yagyū, Nobuyuki Sanada, Naomasa Ii

In the aftermath, Ieyasu will speak to Masamune about joining him. He will decline and retreat. Taigong Wang deduces that Da Ji must be buying time by having the Shu forces fight Masamune. Zhao Yun states that Zhuge Liang thought the same thing, which was why he sent him to fight with Ieyasu and the others.

Li Dian replaces Kazumasa Ishikawa and Naomasa Ii replaces Mototada Torii in this battle.

After defeating Kiyomori, Zhao Yun will break into the inner part of the castle, but he is too late to stop the prayer ceremony as Orochi’s voice confronts him, signifying his resurrection and reappearance at the Wuzhang Plains.

Chapter 16: Battle of Wuzhang Plains 五丈原の戦い

Shu Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Liu Bei, Taigong Wang, Zuo Ci, Yoshimoto Imagawa, Guan Suo, Bao Sanniang, Yue Jin, Munenori Yagyū Enemy characters: Orochi X, Da Ji, Himiko, Sima Yi, Zhang Chunhua, Masamune Date, Kojūrō Katakura, Dodomeki

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 2.2: Shu Side Stages

Coalition Army and Jiang Wei Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Zhao Yun, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Toyohisa Shimazu, Ginchiyo Tachibana Third-party characters: Jiang Wei Enemy characters: Zhang He, Daqiao

Unlockable character: Jiang Wei

Clear Chapter 1 to unlock this stage.

Hearing that Zhao Yun has escaped Ueda Castle, Jiang Wei offers to join him. They meet at Nanzhong, where Jiang Wei tells Zhao Yun that the road ahead is blocked by the Orochi Army. Yoshihiro suggests luring them out and Jiang Wei decides to follow this plan. Jiang Wei retreats, leaving Zhao Yun and Yoshihiro to act as bait, luring the enemy units from the west and east.

Be careful not to attack the enemy, otherwise the ambush will fail and enemy pursuit units will arrive from Ueda Castle to reinforce the enemy. If the ambush succeeds, Jiang Wei will be unlocked. Defeat Zhang He and Daqiao to win the battle.

Chapter 3-X: Battle of Shizugatake 賤ヶ岳の戦い

Coalition Army and Hōjō Army vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Yukimura Sanada, Nobuyuki Sanada, Wei Yan, Yueying Third-party characters: Ujimasa Hōjō, Ujinori Uesugi, Ujinao Hōjō, Norihide Matsuda, Ujiteru Hōjō Enemy characters: Pang De, Cao Ren, Jia Xu, Diamondback

On the battlefield, the Hōjō Army will be in the east as enemy ambush troops attack them. Ujimasa and his troops are wavering on whether to stand their ground or surrender to Orochi.

To unlock Pang De, the player needs to rescue at least three Hōjō officers before defeating him.

Clear Chapter 3-X to unlock this stage.

Wei Yan’s treasure was stolen by the master thief Goemon Ishikawa. The treasure was a gift from Liu Bei and was valued by Wei Yan. Wei Yan enlists Xingcai’s help and they set off to the Huarong Pass near the cliffs of Chibi.

Shigekata Tōgō replaces Munenori Yagyū in this battle.

To unlock Goemon, destroy all ten treasure boxes before defeating him. Every time one is destroyed, Goemon will slow down. Goemon’s miscreants along with Kotarō Fūma will stop the player along the way. Okuni will also slow Goemon down as he reaches the ships in the south, forcing him to turn back and head to the ships in the southwest. Musashi will also help Goemon, but upon his defeat, Wei Yan tells him that Goemon stole his treasure, leading him to defect and help to stop Goemon.

Chapter 5-X: Battle of Jieting 街亭の戦い

Coalition Army and Gracia Troop vs. Orochi Army Allied characters: Magoichi Saika, Zhurong, Xingcai Third-party characters: Gracia Enemy characters: Masamune Date, Sun Shangxiang, Lianshi, Kojūrō Katakura, Hisahide Matsunaga, Munenori Yagyū

Unlockable character: Gracia

Clear Chapter 4 to unlock this stage.

Masamune Date set up his camp in Jieting, hoping to force the surrender of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun sends out Magoichi to lead the battle, accompanied by Zhurong and Xingcai. When they got there, Magoichi sees Gracia and goes to her rescue; in return for finding her, Gracia decides to help Magoichi in this battle.

This is one of few stages where the unlockable character is different from the original. This was done to maintain Masamune’s status as a staunch officer of the Orochi Army (and to account for future appearances in other stories).

More enemy officers will appear around the battlefield, with the addition of playable officers Lianshi, Hisahide Matsunaga and Munenori Yagyū. Lianshi appears in place of Dong Xi, while Hisahide and Munenori are in the south and east respectively.

To unlock Gracia, finish the battle with the pincer attack successful. Otherwise, she will farewell Magoichi and continue wandering the land on her own.

Meng Huo and Zhurong were sent to Tetorigawa to find Liu Bei, but they discovered a band of swordsmen fighting against Orochi’s forces. The swordsmen were led by the mighty warrior Musashi Miyamoto. Meng Huo and Zhurong rush to his aid.

Lu Lingqi appears in place of Yue Jin in this battle. Shigekata Tōgō replaces Munenori Yagyū in this battle. Jia Xu and Kojirō Sasaki will appear with the enemy reinforcements that Mitsunari sends out.

The unlock conditions for Musashi are easier than in the original game. Open the floodgate within 8 minutes of the start of the battle; his allies can be defeated but Musashi must stay alive.

Chapter 7-X: Battle of Xiliang 西涼の戦い

Unlockable character: Tadakatsu Honda (1/4)

Across the land, people were fleeing from Orochi-controlled territories to escape his rule. Dong Zhuo declared that any caught fleeing would be executed. To demonstrate his point, Dong Zhuo launched an attack on Xiliang. Hearing news of this, Yukimura Sanada rushed to Xiliang to defend the innocent people from slaughter.

Nobuyuki appears alongside his brother in this battle.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Tadakatsu Honda. To impress him, allow all three peasants to escape. A good strategy is to follow them during their advance.

The only allied generic officer on the battlefield is Zhou Cang. With the exception of Fa Zheng, all other generic officers have been replaced with the Guan/Zhang babies and Bao Sanniang.

Orochi will appear in this battle if Chapter 8 has been cleared.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Lu Bu. To impress him, just defeat him without running away from him.
