In Free mode, select the Battle Of He Fei Castle as the Wu Forces on the Normal difficulty setting. Start by taking out the officers outside the first gates. One of them will drop a Life +20. Next, kill Xu Huang for an Attack +8. Then, go around the right side, killing all officers, sub-generals, and anyone with a name. You should always get +4 power-ups. The officer on the horse will drop a weapon. Collect it, then go through the "security system". You will eventually meet Cao Ren. Kill him for a +8 Defense, then go up and kill Xu Zhu for +8 Attack.

Play the Battle Of Wu Zhang Plains on the hard difficulty setting. It is better to do this in Musou Mode than in Free Mode. Wu Zhang Plains is a five-star battle, but in Cao Pi's Musou Mode it is only his fourth stage. Thus, if you do this in Musou Mode the difficulty will be lowered somewhat. First, defeat any three generals (not sub-generals) quickly. The ones that all grouped in the center make good fodder, as except for Wei Yan they are all generic. Once you kill three generals, Zhuge Liang will pass away. Continue fighting normally. At this point it would be a good idea to seal the enemy's supply route over to the east. Soon you will see an event where Jiang Wei lays a group of automatic crossbows on the central platform. Now all you have to do is get up there and break all of them. There will also be juggernauts floating around, not to mention archer towers -- be careful. Once you have destroyed all single automatic crossbows, the precious item box will conveniently appear in the middle of that central platform. Pick it up and finish the stage to earn your fourth weapon.

The officer on the horse will drop a weapon. Collect it, then go through the "security system". You will eventually meet Cao Ren. Kill him for a +8 Defense, then go up and kill Xu Zhu for +8 Attack. At the left of this platform is a crate with a weapon box in it. Go through the gate and take the path to the left. The officer there has a +8 Defense. Then, cut across to the right and kill Sima Zhao for a +4 Defense. Next, take out Sima Yi for a +8 Defense. Finally, complete the level by killing Cao Pi. This will max out the stats at the character selection screen, but only half-way at the action selection screen. You must use the level 20 amulets to max this out.

Once Cao Cao leaves the castle and you get the event where Dian Wei stays behind to block the gates, the hard part begins. You must not let a single enemy past the gates until you get the message that Cao Cao's escape is in progress. This usually happens after you have defeated five or six troop leaders (the generic enemies with names over their heads). Be careful, as the troop leaders tend to ignore you and just run straight past you. Once you get the message, the precious item box will appear slightly in front of you. At this point it does not matter if you let people past the gates (let too many and you lose the stage though), so go pick it up.
