  Harnesses

  Red Hare Saddle (****)

  Effect: Begin the battle mounted on Red Hare. The fastest horse in the
  game.

  Stage Found: Battle of Xia Pi (Lu Bu's forces)

  Requirements: Do not defeat any enemy generals until the cut scene
  where Guan

  Yu meets Red Hare. Defeat Guan Yu for the item to appear. Be sure not
  to

  defeat any other generals or sub generals until Guan Yu is defeated,
  as this

  may prevent the item from appearing.

  Comments: Since having a Harness does not take up an item slot,
  there's no

  excuse why you shouldn't bring Red Hare along for the ride. The
  fastest horse

  in the game is also the best horse in the game.

  Hex Mark Saddle (**)

  Effect: Begin the battle mounted on Hex Mark. Luck increases.

  Comments: Not a bad horse, but Red Hare is so much better.

  Stage Found: Campaign against Liu Bei (Yellow Turban forces - Musou
  Mode

  only)

  Requirements: In Act I, select The Yellow Turban Fortress first. Then
  select

  the Campaign against Liu Bei. Defeat Zhao Yun and Guan Yu before the

  reinforcements arrive. Get Liu Bei's life to about half for the item
  to

  appear.

  Storm Saddle (**)

  Effect: Begin the battle mounted on Storm Runner. Mounted Attack
  increases.

  Comments: Ma Chao + Horned Helm + Storm Runner = Good Stuff.

  Stage Found: Campaign against Cao Cao (Lu Bu's forces)

  through Xu Huang's ambush approach the east circular path from the

  dismounted by

  attacks.

  Stage Found: Battle of Tong Gate

  Requirements: Defeat the four enemy generals in the southeast area.
  After the

  cut scene with Han Sui and Cao Cao and the Ice Fortress appears,
  defeat Yu

  Jin and Xu Huang. Defeat Cao Cao's sub generals and defeat enemies
  until his

  morale drops to one star. After the cut scene where the horses are
  discovered

  and the message that Han Sui refuses to defect appears, the item will
  appear

  in the southeast area.

  Comments: A good horse to use, especially with Ma Chao and his Charge
  Attack.

  Note that you may need to get the message that Han Sui is surveying
  Cao Cao's

  unit in order to get the item to appear.

  Kurnia Yusuf writes in to mention that equipping this Harness prevents
  you

  from being knocked off of _any_ horse.

  Elephant Saddle (*)

  Effect: Begin the stage mounted on an elephant.

  Stage Found: The Nanman Campaign (Nanman forces)

  Requirements: While riding an elephant enter the enemy base.

  Tip: Huang Gai's bomb attack can knock allies of their mounts.

  Comments: I guess riding an elephant around in some levels might be
  fun, but

  you'll probably want to ride something a bit faster.

  enabeling you to start out on a horse every time you begin a level.
  


  
  


  

Put the game on hard mode and go to free mode and go to the level Bo
  wan po on the shu side and have your ninth level  weapon pick

To get Lu Bu you have to beat all three kingdoms on mousou mode

  

Do Caimpaign against Sun Jian level with yuan shouo forces and all you
  do is get into the top castle before back up arrives (red hare really
  helps!! so you can get there)then in front of the castle a supply
  captain will appear just kill him to get it. If you want the art of
  war thing do the same thing except be dong zhuo's force and go into
  the castle then just kill alot of generals except sun jian but make
  sure you check history every time you kill a guy to make sure the
  supply team is there

  

  Defeat Jian Ye (wei side)

  When playing the last level for Wei, you must kill Sun Jian first.
  Afterwards Sun Ce will declare he is ruler, go kill him. Then Sun Quan,
  go kill him. Finally Sun Shang Xiang will declare she is ruler kill
  her and you win. P.S. to make things easier, kill the officers that
  are not aforementioned in the beginning.

  

If you're on a Nanman level that has elephant troops running around,
  you can get Unlimited Musou. First charge up your Musou Gauge until
  it's full. Then, get an elephant. And finally, when you're on the
  elephant, TAP the circle button and once the Musou attack is done,
  you're gauge will still be full. Note: This will only work if you TAP
  the circle button.

  

Peacock Urn (***): Increases Life gauge.

  Comments: Initially useful if your character has a short life gauge.
  Once you

  start getting Dim Sum, I'd recommend switching to the Tortoise Amulet.

  Dragon Amulet (**): Increases Musou gauge.

  Comments: I haven't found having more Musou to be particularly useful,

  especially since the effects of Orbs is dependent on your Musou gauge
  being

  full. The shorter your gauge the faster it will fill up. It's better
  just to

  get Musou Wine power ups instead.

  Tiger Amulet (****): Increases Attack.

  Comments: Unlike previous games, the attack boost here is significant,

  especially at higher levels. This gives weaker characters a good
  attack

  boost, and makes stronger characters real powerhouses.

  Tortoise Amulet (****): Increases Defense.

  Comments: Like the Tiger Amulet, the Tortoise Amulet significantly
  boosts

  defense, especially at higher levels. A high defense not only
  decreases the

  damage you receive but also increases your resistance to being stunned
  by

  attacks. There is no reason why you shouldn't have one equipped at all
  times.

  Speed Scroll (***): Increases Speed.

  Comments: The speed increase is not very noticeable unless this is at
  high

  levels. It provides a one step boost in speed at level 20 (i.e. from
  very

  slow to slow, or from fast to very fast).

  Wing Boots (*): Increases Jump ability.

  Comments: Slightly increases jump height. Not too useful.

  Huang's Bow (*/**** with Huang Zhong or Xiahou Yuan): Increases Bow
  Attack.

  Comments: Not too useful unless you are playing Huang Zhong or Xiahou
  Yuan.

  This affects their Charge attacks as well.

  Nanman Armor (*): Increases Bow Defense.

  Comments: Considering that arrow damage has been toned down
  significantly,

  this item isn't too useful.

  Horned Helm (*/**** with Ma Chao): Increases Mounted Attack.

  Comments: Not too useful unless you are playing Ma Chao. Ma Chao +
  Horned

  Helm + Calvary Armor + Storm/Shadow Runner = Good stuff.

  Calvary Armor (*/**** with Ma Chao): Increases Mounted Defense.

  Comments: Ma Chao + Horned Helm + Calvary Armor + Storm/Shadow Runner
  = Good

  stuff.

  Seven Star Sash (*): Increases Luck.

  Comments: It seems that items you receive in battle are determined
  more by

  random luck rather than luck itself. The jury is still out on whether
  or not

  this item actually does anything.

  Elixir (***): Musou gauge fills faster.

  Comments: A good item in conjunction with the Way of Musou item.

  Herbal Remedy (***): Increases Charge Attack effectiveness.

  Comments: The usefulness of this item depends on how often you use
  charge

  attacks. I would recommend using the Charge Bracer instead if you have
  it.

  Art of War (*)

  Effect: Increases the duration of power up items.

  Stage Found: Campaign against Sun Jian

  Requirements: Enter the north castle before enemy reinforcements
  arrive.

  Defeat at least four of the following generals: Sun Quan, Sun Shang
  Xiang,

  Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, and Gan Ning. A supply team will appear from the
  entry

  point at the north castle and move towards the southern castle entry
  point.

  Defeat the supply team for the item.

  Comments: Not very useful.

  Survival Guide (*)

  Effect: When life is critical, Attack x2 when knocked down.

  Stage Found: The Two Qiaos

  Requirements: Rescue in order Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao for the item to
  appear

  later when you approach the escape point.

  Comments: Not very useful.

  Bodyguard Manual (***)

  Effect: Bodyguards become stronger.

  Stage Found: Guan Yu's Escape (Liu Bei's forces)

  Requirements: When Xiahou Dun arrives do not backtrack to him. Defeat
  the

  fourth gate general when Xiahou Dun is near the bridge in front of the
  fourth

  gate. Fight Xiahou Dun on the other side of the final gate and the
  item

  should appear. Thanks to NyteWalkyr for the clarifications.

  Comments: This is a great item for bodyguards in training, as it will

  significantly extend their life expectancy. For elite bodyguards it
  makes

  them practically godlike.

  Way of Musou (***)

  Effect: Can use True Musou attacks regardless of life.

  Stage Found: Guan Yu's Escape (Cao Cao's forces)

  Requirements: After you pass the 5th gate a supply team will appear
  east of

  the bridge in front of the fourth gate and head eastward. Defeat the
  supply

  team for the item.

  Comments: In conjunction with the Elixir this can be useful. For some
  reason

  True Musou attacks don't seem to be as effective this time around.

  Power Scroll (*)

  Effect: Won't lose weapon deadlocks.

  Stage Found: The Yellow Turban Fortress (Yellow Turban forces)

  Requirements: Defeat Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. A supply team will appear
  to the

  northwest and move to the northeast entry point. Defeat the supply
  team for

  the item.

  Comments: Limited usefulness.

  Wind Scroll (****)

  Effect: Increases attack reach.

  Stage Found: Battle of Xu Chang (Shu forces)

  Requirements: Protect Yue Ying until she sets up the ramp vehicle, and
  defeat

  Xu Zhu when he ambushes the supply camp in the southwest. When Sima Yi

  remarks on the two plans failing the item will appear in the
  northwest.

  Comments: This significantly increases the range of your weapon. It's

  extremely useful for characters that have very little range. For
  characters

  with an already long-range weapon it makes them into absolute
  monsters.

  Fire Arrows (*/**** with Huang Zhong or Xiahou Yuan)

  Effect: Arrows become fire arrows.

  Stage Found: Unification of Jing (Wu forces)

  Requirements: Before the enemy generals join forces, defeat Wang
  Lang's sub

  general Zhou Xin for the supply team to appear at the west castle.
  Defeat the

  supply team for the item.

  Comments: Fun to play with but ultimately not very useful, unless
  you're

  playing as Huang Zhong or Xiahou Yuan. This item upgrades their Charge

  attacks to fire arrows.

  Charge Bracer (***)

  Effect: Charge attacks cannot be stopped by normal attacks.

  Stage Found: Campaign against Sun Jian (Yuan Shao's forces)

  Requirements: Enter the north castle before enemy reinforcements
  arrive. A

  supply team will appear south of the castle and move towards the entry
  point

  southwest of the castle.

  Comments: If you use Charge Attacks frequently this is an excellent
  item.

  Note:Some items and all orbs Show up at any time.
