01.)---Introduction---[INTRO]

Welcome to my 1st FAQ on Gamefaqs For Warriors Orochi 2.

This guide is meant to serve as a general FAQ on the most commonly
asked about subjects that many players will or have had a hard
time figuring out.

I have included in this FAQ a segment on Orochi X so you can get an
understanding of exactly what you are playing so long for.

And I have included most if not all of the Hidden moves not listed
on the team info move list screen.

Also in this FAQ I will be providing you with Suggested Weapon
Setups for all of the Characters in the game. This part of the FAQ
is for those of you who just want to have fun with the Character
Weapon motions. And do not care about causing the maximum amount
of damage possible. This part of the FAQ is also in No way intended
to be a suggested setup for the maximum damage that you can a
muster up with the characters. If you want to go
that route than by all means you are free to do so.

These are just suggestions for how to set up the weapons and still
have fun with the enemy knock back because going the max damage
route usually involves putting the Bolt Effect on everything and
that messes up the fun in the human bowling aspect of things. 

The suggestions can be taken into consideration or ignored completely.

(On a side note about the Suggested Weapon Setups on this FAQ. I will
not be adding ways to maximize the damage with the setups.
Example: All you need to do is keep spaming the same move over and
over again.)

Ok now with that out of the way on to the FAQ.

-----------------------------------

02.)---Controller layout default---[BUTTONS]

For those of you who are playing the Japan version of this game,
or it is your 1st time playing a warriors game and do not know what
buttons do what. Then here is the default controller layout for
the game.

Square = attack.

Triangle = charge attack.

Circle = use musou.

Hold circle = charge the musou gauge if not full.

Cross = jump/mount/dismount.

L1 = block.

R1 = special attack.

R1 while moving the left analog stick = secondary Special attack on
select warriors.

L2 = switch character left slot.

R2 = switch character right slot.

start = pause/menu.

Select = call your horse to your side.

L3 = no use.

R3 = switch map type.

L2+R2+Circle = Triple attack. When the currently controlled warriors
life is in the red and all 3 warriors on your team have full Musou
bars. Conditions for this change with certain weapon upgrades.

For explanations of R1 moves and move strings check
team info/moves list.

-----------------------------------

03.)---The easiest way to get Level 4 weapons.---[LEVEL 4]

The easiest way to get Level 4 weapons is to go to SW-1 That is 
Samurai Warriors stage #1 on chaos mode. With the Ability Karma at 
the maximum level of 15 equipped.
There are 4 officers here that drop weapon boxes and every box you
pick up contains 1 weapon for all 3 of the warriors you selected for
the current battle.

Do not let the words Chaos mode scare you. It is just a slightly less
easy mode. SW-1 can be completed in less than 3 minutes.

The Level 4 weapons all have a gold background
in the picture and a high usually over +60 base attack rating.

-----------------------------------

-----------------------------------

05.)---Leveling Up Proficiency---[LEVEL UP]

For those of you who do not quite fully understand how to unlock
Dream/ Dramatic modes/stages #1 and #2. Or are just looking for
the fastest way to level up your proficiency levels than this
part of the FAQ is just right for you.

1st off an explanation of where to find the current proficiency level
of the warrior.
 
In the Team Info screen there is an extra bar that says xx/50 this is
the proficiency level of the warriors. Each warrior has their own bar
that goes up to level 50/50.

Now on to who you should get to the max proficiency levels of 50/50
post haste.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu

Why? Because after Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan all reach
proficiency level 50 than dream stage #1 is unlocked. And after
Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu all reach proficiency level 50 than
dream stage #2 is unlocked.

To accomplish this quickly please look at the flowing map.
And play on easy there is no reason to do this on a harder mode.

Wu-4.

.--------------------------------------------------.
.------------2-3-----------------------------------.
.--------------------------------------------------.
.----------You------1------------------------------.
.--------------------------------------------------.

You - You start here.

Clear out the enemy forces in this order. (Just like connecting
the dots.)

* - If you take to long kill these guys also.

Play through Wu-4 over and over again until you have maxed out the
proficiency bars.

For every officer you kill you get 100 point towards filling the
current proficiency levels bar. And for every 5 officers you kill you
get 1proficiency level point in the bar and the level goes up.
(Example: 01/50 to 02/50.) You can also get points by just
killing normal enemies but it is not worth it.

The scale for the proficiency level is.

1 enemy = 1 point towards filling the current proficiency levels bar.
1 officer = 100 points towards filling the current proficiency levels
bar.

And it takes 500 points toward filling the current proficiency levels
bar to make the level go up by 1. I will use an example of 01/50 to
02/50.
Either kill 500 enemies or 5 officers to make the level of the bar go
up by 1.

Proficiency is only gained by the current controlled warrior and each
warrior must meet the requirements by their own merit. Meaning that
Cao Cao must kill 250 officers by himself. Liu Bei must kill 250
officers by himself. Sun Quan must kill 250 officers by himself.
Nobunaga must kill 250 officers by himself. Hideyoshi must kill 250
officers by himself. And Ieyasu must kill 250 officers by himself.
And so on and so on.

There is about 45 seconds to 2 minutes of message spam at the end of
each run through. Nothing too bad and it is kind of fun sitting there
listening to the Warrior's repeatedly saying thier win phrase.
However if you are using the Sun Jian's Suicide trick to accuratly
unlock the stage you must not Suicide when the last warrior that needs
to meet the requirement for unlocking the stage reaches his
Requirements. Meaning that if on the current run through the other 2
have the 50/50 proficiency level and you will end up with the 50/50
proficiency level for the controlled warrior to unlock the stage. Then
you must finish the stage by killing Lu Bu and Kiyomori Taira. Or you
will have to play any stage again with one of the 3 warriors needed to
unlock the Dream / Dramatic mode stage and finish by winning the stage
to unlock the Dream / Dramatic mode stage.

-----------------------------------

06.)---Sun Jian's Suicide Trick.---[SUICIDE]

Kill yourself and save time with this handy little trick.

How to do Sun Jian's Suicide Trick.

You do it by adding a Level 18-19 Sun Jian in your team. If you do not
have Level 18-19 Sun Jian go to the warrior reset in the options menu
and reset only Sun Jian then level him back up until he is at level
18-19. But do not level Sun Jian up any further than Level 19.

Why you want to do Sun Jian's Suicide Trick.

At the end of Wu-4 There is about 45 seconds to 2 mins of message spam
at the end of each run through. Sun Jian's Suicide Trick can get
around this and save you some time when Leveling up your Characters.
Kill officers in order as laid out in the map in the leveling up
section of this guide.
Except Lu Bu(24) and Kiyomori Taira(23) than use Sun Jian's
Dir R1. Do it until Sun Jian's health is Red, then die by Lu Bu's
or Kiyomori Taira's hands and you'll get defeated and the game will
ask you to save your data. SAVE. Then you are sent to the main menu.
The reason of this is that even if you're dead, your experience and
Proficiency that you acquired in that stage won't disappear. And with
this way you can skip the time lag when you complete a stage.

-----------------------------------

07.)---Orochi X---[OROCHI X]

The 2nd biggest prize in the game. In this part I will tell you
exactly what to expect from Orochi X.

How to unlock Orochi X.

After you clear all of the stages for all 5 of the
scenarios at least once in story mode (on easy), and all of the Dream
/ Dramatic mode stages at least once (on easy). Then he becomes
available for use.

Detailed info on Orochi X.

Orochi X only has 1 costume. 

Orochi X has no extra abilities to get. If you are missing any of the
abilitty levels then play with the other warriors to unlock them.

Orochi X's weapons are the same as Orochi's.

Orochi X's move set.

S1. - Turns invisible for the duration of S1 and performs a
downwards stroke with his weapon.

C1. - Looks at his hand and throws a red eye laser/beam of death.

S2. - Slams the head of his weapon into the ground causing a fire
explosion. (Like the effect of one of Huang Gai's bombs going off.)

C2-1. - Jumps and Knocks the enemy into the air with his weapon.

C2-2. - Follows the enemy up in to the air while spinning in circles.
(This move looks like a reverse of Xu Huang's JC only Orochi X is
spinning up instead of down.)

S3. - Circular slashing attack from left to right.

C3. - Throws a Large red energy beam at the enemy.

S4. - Swipes weapon from left to right.

C4. - Creates a large red and black energy field around himself that
attacks anything it touches.

JC. - Performs 2 or 3 front flips and lands with a massive Circular
energy shockwave.

Musou - Rises hand up to the sky and then slams hand on the ground
causing a massive Circular energy shockwave ending with a downward
slash of his weapon and turning him invisible for about 15 seconds.

True Musou - Rises hand up to the sky and then slams hand on
the ground causing a massive Circular energy shockwave ending with 2
horizontal swipes of his weapon and a downward slash of his
weapon and turning him invisible for about 15 seconds.

R1 - Flies forward to grab an enemy then creates a dome like
sphere where he stands and than rapidly Attacks the area inside
the dome on all sides.

Support Attack - Orochi X uses C4 from his move string.

-----------------------------------

08.)---Yoshitsune Minamoto's Orange light sword---[ORANGE]

How to make Yoshitsune Minamoto's light sword turn orange.

Push R1 and grab an enemy. Then do at least a 100-hit combo. Shortly
after (before the buff runs out) will give you the Orange Sword of
Light.

When you have the Orange Sword of Light none of your attacks
will carry elements. The sword itself has Bolt and something
else attached. But when the sword is orange no elements
will activate. So this is really just for show and a slightly
longer blade.

-----------------------------------

09.)---Sengoku/Samurai Stage 3---[BEAT SW-3]

How to beat SW-3.

Rush through the stage killing only the Generals, Sorcerer, and
Gate Captain's. Until you get to where Kanetsugu is.
When you get to Kanetsugu run around to the north where
you would enter the area before the enemy's main camp area to start a
fire. This gate will not open at this time so return to Kanetsugu.
Kanetsugu enters a bodyguard like state after you reach him.
Escort him to Yukimura's and Sakon's location by destroying
anything that is left in your paths on the way back. Then after
Kanetsugu and Yukimura and Sakon meet up and after some message spam
you will then need to get Sakon into the forest where you set off the
fire. After Sakon gets to the forest Fu Xi will appear and point out
that there is another Sorcerer. Kill the Sorcerer and the gate to the
enemy commander will open so you can finish the stage.

12.)---Frequently Asked Questions---[FAQ's]

Question #01.) Almost everyone has the Effect Flame
equipped what gives? Are you some kind of a pyromaniac?

Answer #01.) Flame is awesome because I can see it doing damage.
(And if I can see something it kind of helps the creditability along
okay.) And it will not mess with the knock back. Human bowling is fun.

Question #02.) Why don't you ever mention the Effects Absorb, Drain,
or Rage?

Answer #02.) 1st off the Rage effect. This one has no value what so
ever and should be avoided at all costs, unless on a secondary weapon
for making a skill. As for Absorb and Drain. I feel almost the same
way about these 2 effects as Rage. However if you feel like you want
to put Absorb or Drain on your weapon then I suggest removing the Range
Effect from The above suggestions. But the main reason I do not feel
that Absorb or Drain should not be on the weapons at all is because
you have 3 people to choose from and when you run out or low on life
or musou you can switch out and the bars will fill back up
automatically. Koei made the game this way so you would use more than
just 1 warrior during the battle. And this just goes along with the
main gimmick/hook of the game as laid out in the in-game Tutorial
under the section fighting as a TEAM. There is also an abundance of
recovery item's that spawn in this game. And abilities that can help
you use less musou and have longer life and musou bars.

Question #03.) You never once added the Skill Almighty to anyone in
this guide. This Skill rocks/owns all. What is wrong with you?

Answer #03.) As said in the Introduction of the guide. This guide is
also in No way intended to be a suggested setup for the maximum damage
that you can muster up with the characters. Also, the effect of
Almighty adds the element Bolt to every attack when the musou gauge
is full. And that messes with the Knock back and fun of watching the
characters fly half a mile away and knock down another enemy. This is
the reason why the Skill Almighty is not in the guide.

Question #04.) Help I can not unlock Ingredients/Treasures needed to
unlock skill upgrades?

Answer #04.) Please refer to the Weapon FAQ (JIS) guide by Rydain.

Here is the link.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/944760/53003

Rydain's guide is very detailed in giving help with how to obtain the
Ingredients/Treasures needed to unlock skill upgrades.

Question #05.) Are abilities for the characters randomly obtained?

Answer #05.) No they are not. Everyone gets a set of their own
abilities to obtain.

Here is a link to the guide used in Warriors Orochi 1.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/938105/47696

All returning warriors are the same. But may not look it if you
started with Warriors Orochi 1 save file. If you did then start on
the 2nd one to acquire. As for the New Characters in the game, look
at the team info screen for how to get their Abilities.
