Non-Musou characters, Okuni and Ranmaru Mori, must accomplish specific tasks in the Infinite Castle to earn their fourth weapons. Upon completion of the conditions, the weapons will appear in the stage as either a precious item (a black box) in a fixed position or in the hands of a supply team on the run. You must defeat the captain to obtain the weapon before the supply team leaves the map. A second player can help, but cannot take player one's kills.

• Ginchiyo Tachibana: Fourth weapon

Play Conquest of Kyushu on Hard or Chaos mode. To obtain the Heaven's Bite (Raikou Suseri) you have to mess with the Shimazu clan. Start by crossing the bridge to fall into an ambush. Take down Iehisa Shimazu then head to the northeast fort to defeat Tadanaga Shimazu. Next go south to defeat Yoshihiro Shimazu. This will open the doors, to which you will walk into another ambush on the eastside. Route Toshihisa Shimazu to leave only Yoshihisa Shimazu around. Feeling lonely, Iehisa, Toshihisa, and Yoshihiro will return and be in Hyper mode. You now have four hyper generals. Defeat them exactly in the order Iehisa, Toshihisa, and Yoshihiro to prompt a supply team to appear at the northeast gate that will run for the west. Intercept the supply team then trash Yoshihisa Shimazu to end the stage.

• Hanzou Hattori: Fourth weapon

Play Attack On Ueda Castle. To obtain the Chained Dragon (Inga Yomitsu), you must play in Hard or Chaos mode. Take out Kotarou Fuuma and all of his clones (three), then defeat Yukimura Sanada before beating Masayuki Sanada.

Crush him before the order is given by Katsuie Shibata. You will know if you are too late and the charge order has been given if Toshiie Maeda is in Hyper mode. After you dispatch him, get back to your main base to intercept Keiji Maeda before he gets there. Wipe out inconsequential generals along the way if possible. Keep the fight with Keiji away from any of your allies because they will die in the crossfire between you and the Hyper Keiji Maeda.

• Honda Tadakatsu

Complete Musou mode as Tokugawa Ieyasu.

• Ieyasu Tokugawa: Fourth weapon

Play Battle Of Sekigahara. To obtain the Quake Maker (Koujin Wakatakeru), play in Hard or Chaos mode. Simply enough, just cut loose and kill all the enemy generals. Although you are not obligated to keep your allies alive (you might want their help) you must keep in mind the order in which you dispatch your foes. Normally many would defect your side. For example, taking Ekei Ankokuji will spur Hiroie Yoshikawa and Hidemoto Mouri to defect. Leave them alone for now and knock around some generals in the central area. Another mess you must be aware of is that Hideaki Kobayakawa will waver a short time into the battle. Normally you would send Magobei Fuse to shoot at him to convince Hideaki Kobayakawa to defect. To defuse this situation, stay away from Magobei Fuse and let him die. Upon his death, all hell will break loose and the entire enemy force will come charging in on their new morale-boosted fever. Now is the time to destroy them all without worry. With Mitsunari Ishida all alone, a supply team carrying your fourth weapon will appear from the fort in the northwest, and move south.

• Ina: Fourth weapon

Go through the Siege of Odawara Castle in Story mode under the Hard or Hell difficulty setting. You must defeat all the Hojo officers by yourself. The sequence is your decisions to make, but the following is recommended. You can start by razing any enemies you can see until the siege ramp is ready. Once it is ready, protect it. When you are beyond the walls, defeat the officer that guarding the cannons. Note: Do not kill the Reserve Captains as this will keep the allied officers busy. Then, defeat all three officers at south gate (the one with Shimazu). Ignore the storehouse sub-mission once you are done. Kotaro will send three more officers to your main camp. Go and defeat them. If you are fast enough, defeat three officers at main gate. Continue opening the gates by starting from the middle gate and again, defeat the two officers guarding that position. After that, proceed to north gate to defeat three officers there (one with Masamune Date). Go to the northwest area and defeat the two officers before Masamune does. Once done, make your way into the castle (the bomb corridor) and defeat the two officers guarding it. Again, go into the castle and immediately go to south or lower left area where the storehouse is located. Defeat all the officers there. You must hurry before the Shimazu army does. Then, proceed to the second floor in the castle and defeat Kotaro. A supply team will show up in the east of the castle walls. Intercept them, pick up the Coiled Viper weapon, then defeat the two Hojos at the third floor.

Then take a horse to catch the supply team that will show up from the gate north of the central plain and scurry northeast.

After being turned away by geysers, go towards Shingen Takeda, wiping out Hideyoshi Hashiba, Koroku Hachisuka, and Hidemasa Hori along the way. Soon Toshiie Maeda and Nene will show up for their beating. With them down, move northwest to the enemy home. Be careful; if you kill everyone outside your army will rush the base and you must get in before they do. Once you enter, Yoshihiro Shimazu and Yoshihisa Shimazu will reveal that they are really at the center of the map. Simultaneously, Nobunaga Oda and Nouhime will also creep down to the northwest fort. You will now have two Shimazus, two fake Shimazus, and Nobunaga Oda and Nouhime coming to kill you. Defeat them all and Mitsuhide Akechi and Ranmaru Mori will appear. Take out Mitsuhide Akechi first then Ranmaru Mori. Once done, a supply team will materialize in Kenshin's camp. Get the weapon from them. In order to end the stage, you must take on the real Shimazus, who are very strong and in Hyper mode.

• Kotaro Fuuma: Fourth weapon

Try to maximize his stats before proceeding to get this weapon. On Kotaro's Dream stage, The Defense Of Odawara Castle, you must complete a series of missions under the Hard difficulty setting. You will begin in front of the ninja path. Double jump over it and start filling your Musou bar. After Mitsunari's transmission, a siege ramp will appear. Note: Do not destroy it before you receive the mission. Once you have received the mission, destroy it before the siege ramp is in place. Then, proceed to the north (main gate). Rescue Chiba Naoshige and defeat the three officers there. You will notice that Nene will begin her infiltration on the Hojo main general. Ignore it at first. Continue your attack on the north garrison. Defeat the three officers there and rescue Honjou Ujiteru. Go towards enemy's main camp and eventually the Tokugawa army will appear. This is the critical part, and you have to be very fast to defeat all six Tokugawa officers. You can do it in any sequence, but the recommended one is as follows. First, go to Ieyasu and his friends and defeat them. Next, defeat the two officers at the castle's front door without entering the castle. Then, defeat the last Tokugawa officer at the south area. After you have finished the mission, enter the castle and start killing the fire ninjas and destroy the rigged bomb inside the castle before proceeding to the third floor. The bomb placements are normally random, so you will have to search thoroughly. There are usually three bomb and two fire ninjas on first floor and two bombs and three fire ninjas on the second floor. When the mission notice appears, you will know that you have gotten all of them. Hurry to the third floor and defeat Nene. Finally, save your ally officer, Ogawara Yasuhiro, at the southeast of the map. You must hurry because the ally officer is not as tough as you. Defeat the officers that are attacking him. Once done, escort him to the safe location as stated in the map. Along the way you will be ambushed by Sakon Shima at the south garrison (near the ninja path) you to went before. Defeat him as well. Once Ogawara has safely retreated, you will get a precious item report and the weapon will be on the first floor. Its stats are Base Attack 44, Shura Element, Life +19, Attack +37, Speed +38, Jump +17, Musou Charge +33.

• Level 4 skills

There are three skills in the game that can go up to level 4. They are Greed, Acclaim, and Master. They must be unlocked by completing special missions in Survival Mode with a character who has the indicated skill at level 3. If you have enough money, start from 51F and play until you reach 71F to unlock Greed 4, 86F to unlock Acclaim 4 and 96F to unlock Master 4.

To unlock Greed 4, you must play the "Great Tournament" mission on 71F. On the first floor, you will need to complete a random mission. On the second floor, you must defeat three generic officers. The field is entirely filled with riflemen. Try to avoid them and defeat the officers. Also, you should use a Resilience 3 skill so that the gunshots will not stagger you. On the third floor, you must defeat three generic officers again, but the field is filled with Sky Ninjas and Wind Ninjas. Try to avoid the ninjas and defeat the officers. On the fourth floor, you will face five generic officers in one-on-one battles. They will get progressively more powerful and difficult. When you defeat the final opponent, you will be rewarded with four rice balls to restore your life meter. The fifth and final floor is exactly the same as the fourth floor, but you will face unique generals instead. Once you defeat your final opponent, you will be given two choices. Either defeat the last two generals you faced in a special three-way battle to get a bonus or leave the field. It is recommended to leave if your character is too hurt to fight more. You will still get Greed 4 if you leave without defeating your two enemies. After completing the mission, Greed 4 will become available in the shop.

To unlock Acclaim 4, you must play the "Tutor Wanted" mission on 86F. On the first floor, you must defeat Tokichiro Kinoshita, a hyper generic peasant, in five battles. On the second floor, you will face Tokichiro again, along with a peasant army. Tokichiro is also in Hyper mode, although he is still easy to defeat. The third floor is exactly the same as the second floor, but Tokichiro has new bodyguards, such as Nene. On the fourth floor, Tokichiro has turned into Hideyoshi Hashiba and is now powerful and in Hyper mode, along with new bodyguards like Mitsunari Ishida. On the fifth and final floor, Hideyoshi Hashiba is now Hideyoshi Toyotomi and becomes even more powerful and difficult than before. He also has new bodyguards, including Ginchiyo Tachibana, Masamune Date and Yukimura Sanada.

To unlock Master 4, you must play the "Beyond All Limits" mission on 96F. All the floors have bonus time, meaning that every hit will earn gold. Also, each floor has two unique generals, meaning that you will face your opponents in two-on-one battles. On the first floor, you must defeat Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda. On the second floor, you must defeat Ginchiyo Tachibana and Nene. On the third floor, you must defeat Kotaro Fuma and Kojiro Sasaki.

Equip a horse and stick close to the walls. If you have to pull over and fight, use the horse like a compass and park it so it faces in the direction you want to go so you will know how to orient yourself when you get back on. Also, fight as close as possible to your horse. If you get too far, you may lose it forever in the mist. Along the way you will thwart two bandit-on-villager raids, then run into Ranmaru Mori and Nouhime. Smash them both and continue east to get to the fort Nobunaga Oda is in. Vanquish the door captain to get in, and rush to defeat Nobunaga Oda as quickly as possible. Watch for a message stating that the supply team has appeared. Ride out the south door of the fort (not the door that you entered through) and go directly south. Once you hit a dead end, turn right (west). Keep going and you should be able to find the supply team. To be safe, save the game once you get the supply team message so you can reload in case you cannot find them out there.

• Masamune Date: Fourth weapon

Play Showdown At Mikatagahara. To obtain the Manhunters (Oohakari), defeat all enemy generals except for Ieyasu Tokugawa while keeping all of your ally generals alive. First, make Musashi Miyamoto lose his Hyper powers by taking the forts on the east and west sides. He will charge and fall into an ambush. Kill him then take the center fort. Make your way around the map killing all the other enemy generals. The only ones you will not be able to reach yet are Inahime and Ieyasu Tokugawa. Take the opportunity to take as many gates as you can, as things are about to get a lot tougher. Once you enter Ieyasu's camp, the doors will lock and Ieyasu will reveal himself to be Hanzou Hattori in disguise. At the same time the real Ieyasu Tokugawa will appear outside the camp, and he and Inahime will charge your allies, as well as Tadakatsu Honda and other reinforcements to the north. You must defeat Hanzou as quickly as possible to open the gates. Then, speed out and aid your allies, prioritizing those who have multiple generals on them. Killing generals speedily is of the essence, especially when it comes to Tadakatsu Honda.

In Battle for Unification, Mitsuhide's Dream stage, the task is to defeat Masamune Date, Keiji Maeda, Katsuie Shibata, Okuni, Sanada Yukimura, and Naoe Kanetsugu.

Some of your friends will now ditch you and turn traitor. Rebuke them by destroying all of them (Hiroie Yoshikawa, Hidemoto Mouri, and Hideaki Kobayakawa). You will then get another mission to return to the inside of the castle and defeat all of the generals there. Once you do, Kotarou Fuuma will appear and attempt to sneak attack your base from a secret door that opens in the west. Defeat him before he can arrive at your camp. Next, defeat the one guard captain inside the east door of the castle to open a door and find a captured ally general, Ekei Ankokuji. With the prisoner freed, you will receive a mission to escort him back to your base camp. Destroy everything in your path so he does not get distracted and feel obligated to hack at anything nearby (especially all the enemy generals that will ambush the two of you). Once done, make sure you enter the main castle from the north side. Defeat the general in the way there and you will find a sealed door. At the dead end Ekei Ankokuji will suggest another path from the south side.

Once she arrives, Toshiie Maeda and Tsuneoki Ikeda will materialize in the north. Take them out.

Then, enter Iwasaki to the immediate south and take it by defeating Yasumasa Sakakibara. This will prompt Ieyasu Tokugawa to move his camp to the west. Meanwhile, Hanzou Hattori will sneak attack your base as Tadakatsu Honda and Inahime attempt to take back Iwasaki Fort. It takes them some time to get there; so dispatch that ninja, Hanzou. He will seal the doors so you must use the ninja route just east of the main door to get in. You should defeat him before he reaches your main camp. With him smashed, return to Iwasaki and defeat Inahime and the Hyper mode Tadakatsu. Then, ride after the supply team that will appear from the gate to the left of the middle area.

• Nobunaga Oda: Fourth weapon

In Nobunaga's third stage under the Hard difficulty setting, the Battle of Tedorigawa, you must assist five of your generals in retreating (Hideyoshi Hashiba, Katsuie Shibata, Toshiie Maeda, Kazumasu Takigawa, and Nagahide Niwa). You will get the mission to assist them to retreat as soon you approach them. This involves defeating the enemy officer(s) that are attacking them and escorting them to safety. The checkpoint is marked with an "X" on the map. Some ally officer will be ambushed, so be wary of them. Defeat as many enemy officers as possible on your side of the river. After all five ally officers are safely retreated, Nobunaga will announce a counterattack. The supply team will appear just south of Kenshin's base and going southward.

As the stage starts, defeat the two nearby enemy generals harassing Nobunaga Oda. When the fire attack starts, make your way up the left side through the small alleys and approach Nobutada Oda. This will trigger the mission to defend him, which you can accomplish by defeating both generals attacking him. Return to Nobunaga's side and defeat the new generals attacking him. Watch out for Nobutada. If he gets in trouble you must rescue him, but of course that means Nobunaga himself might get into trouble. After awhile Mitsuhide Akechi will pop up on the east side. This will spur Ranmaru Mori to charge Mitsuhide's position. Let him do so and take out any remaining generals trying to attack Nobunaga. After Ranmaru gets near Mitsuhide, do not approach either of them, as that will trigger the mission to protect Ranmaru. If you have already defeated everybody around Nobunaga, feel free to go up back to where Nobutada is and continue protecting him. Ranmaru will probably take quite a long time to die. Once he does though, the supply team will conveniently show up from the west gate near Nobutada's position.

The first floor in the mission has nothing special; on each of the three subsequent stages, you will have to defeat some subgenerals and then eventually a general such as Ieyasu Tokugawa or Nobunaga Oda. On the fifth and final floor of the mission, you will encounter Keiji Maeda fighting a false Okuni clone. Defeat the fake Okuni to finish the mission.

Then move south and protect the other fort by defeating Tadatsugu Sakai.

It is safer to get Tadakatsu first and on the way rout Mitsuhide Akechi.

The enemies will arrive in four ranking waves and the order is somewhat random. If you close in on a general on a warpath toward one of the forts, you will get a mission message to take him or her down before he or she enters said fort. You must succeed in all nine missions. If a general goes into Hyper mode, it means he successfully entered the fort he was headed to and you have failed to get the weapon. It does not matter if the other named generals enter any of the forts. Prioritize the generals listed above first. Perhaps have player two to help distract (not kill) the generals. Once all nine generals are defeated, the supply team will show up from a southeast gate and head northeast.

There are two unique horses that have special effects in the game. They are the Persian Mare and Moon Child. Both must be unlocked by completing special missions in Survival Mode on 71F. If you have enough money, start from 51F and play until you reach 71F.

To unlock Persian Mare, you must play the "Transport Rescue" mission on 71F, although it becomes available only when you complete the regular "Medicine Hunt" mission. On every floor you must focus on protecting the Supply Captain, especially on the last two floors. On the first floor, you must rescue the Supply Captain by defeating the four Raiders attacking him. On the second floor, you must defeat Magoroku Saika to pass. On the third floor, you will face a bunch of Raiders and Vagabonds. Try to avoid them and defeat Magoichi Saika. On the fourth floor, you will face Vagabonds and Miscreants. You must avoid them and defeat Okuni. Once she is defeated, she will come back. When you defeat her, she will appear once again along with Magoichi. You will need to defeat them and prevent them from killing the Supply Captain. On the fifth and final floor, you must defeat Kotaro Fuma. When you defeat him, Hideyoshi along with Nene, Mitsunari Ishida, and Sakon Shima will appear and charge the Supply Captain. You must defeat them quickly before they kill the Supply Captain. After defeating them, the Persian Mare will become available in the shop.

To unlock Moon Child, you must play the "Shopkeeper's Escort" mission on 71F. On the first floor, you must kill all the Miscreants on the floor. On the second floor, the Supply Captain will move and stop randomly. When he stops, you will have to find some Musou Wine. It can be found in any container. On the third floor, you must defeat four Raiders to make way for the Supply Captain to escape. On the fourth floor, you must defeat the Marauder. On the fifth and final floor, you will face Tadakatsu Honda, Ina and Ginchiyo Tachibana. You should defeat Tadakatsu first to make things easier, as he is extremely powerful. After defeating them the Moon Child will become available in the shop.

• Yoshihiro Shimazu: Fourth weapon

Play Breakthrough At Sekigahara. To obtain the Beast Crusher (Ootsuchi Ibuki), you must complete a number of missions personally. First, defeat a few generals in the center area just to clear things out. Then, move towards Mitsunari Ishida's position camped out in the southwest to receive a mission to defend him. Kill all of the generals attacking to succeed. Move towards Sakon Shima in the east to trigger a mission to defend him. Along the way, Ieyasu Tokugawa will probably order Hanzou Hattori to charge Mitsunari. If he does so, go south and intercept Hanzou and defeat him personally. Yoshihiro will then tell Mitsunari to gather in the center. Take out more generals in the center if you think Mitsunari will have problems. Then, return to defending Sakon, which involves defeating the three enemy generals attacking. Ieyasu will now order Tadakatsu Honda to charge. Defeat him as he comes down south and Yoshihiro will order Sakon to the center. Go up to the northwest corner and defeat the three enemy generals besieging Ginchiyo Tachibana's camp. Afterwards Inahime will charge to the west. Go and defeat her. Once Ginchiyo reaches the center of the map, the real fun begins. A large number of Tokugawa army replacements suddenly appears, surrounding your allies in the general. You will then get a mission to eliminate the Eastern Army, which basically involves killing every new general on the map. Be careful, as Ginchiyo and Sakon have a nasty tendency to steal your kills because they swing so much faster than you can. Save the game after every successful kill on your part. Once you kill every general, the doors to Ieyasu's camp opens. At the same time a supply team will show up from the northwest corner, moving south.

• Yukimura Sanada: Fourth weapon

In Yukimura's fifth stage, The Osaka Campaign, you will begin in the castle. Defeat the officer that will come on your floor. Make your way outside the castle. You will see a lot of officers outside in the castle courtyard waiting for your bloodlust. Defeat them and the main gate will be open. The Tokugawa will send a cannon to destroy the castle and at the same time Inahime will approach from the east and Masamune will charge from the west heading towards the castle. Ignore them both and focus on destroying the cannon. Note: Do not worry if you accidentally kill enemy officers near the cannon. Once done, quickly defeat Ina before she enters the castle. Then, hastily cross the courtyard to the west, go through the castle, and defeat Masamune before he enters the castle. Note: You are free to kill the officers near Masamune. You will then get the precious item report and the weapon will on the second floor, in a black box. After that, you can finish the stage normally. Note: You may want to seal the gates to make your ally officers easier and try to use your second attack. The weapons stats are Base Attack 45, Fire Element, Life +19, Attack +35, Defense +38, Horse +18, Musou Charge +32.
