She is the Daughter of Zhen Yi, governor of Zhen Yi. She was known throughout the land as a woman of sophisticated beauty, and exceptional intellect. Married off to Yuan Xi, in an attempt for Yuan Shao to increase his power in the north. While serving in the Battle of Guan Du, Cao Pi, Cao Cao's son, came across Zhen, and immediately married her, as he became quickly enamored with her. When Cao Pi later unified China, and became emperor, he made her his empress, where she lived in happiness for the rest of her life. __________________________________________________________________ Unlocking Zhen Ji __________________________________________________________________ Zhen Ji, along with 17 other officers, are there from the beginning. The Wei Starters are: Xiahou Dun Dian Wei Xu Zhu Zhang Liao Cao Pi She is an excellent starter, especially since her beginning is easy kills. __________________________________________________________________ Zhen Ji's Weapons __________________________________________________________________ Starting Weapon - Flute - 2 power 2nd Weapon - Iron Flute - 6 power 3rd Weapon - Moon Flute - 10 power 4th Weapon - Dark Moon Flute - 32 power (Fill 20, Horse 17, Bow 18, Def 18, Life 17) How to Get 4th weapon: (Make Sure its on HARD or CHAOS Mode) (Battle of He Fei Castle) Oh god, if this were any easier... Just kill at least 300 (hell, I got over 1100) people and go by Cao Pi, you'll get an intermission movie, where Zhen Ji is killing troops with her Musou. To do this, just run through the castle killing, simple as that, kill troops, officers, whatever, there are more then enough. Watch out for ambushes and whatnot, kill rams when they show up, and destroy any officer who gets close to an important general. Item appears just past Zhou Tai on Sun Quan's ship. When Lu Xun shows up, use a Musou rage, when your done killing his little squad, another Musou rage token should show, use that on Sun Quan. __________________________________________________________________ Zhen Ji's Pros and Cons __________________________________________________________________ Pros: She is an EXCELLENT crowd clearer. Her Musou is wonderful as well, and when it's paired with Musou Rage, or in its True Musou form, it really does clear anyone and anything out of your way. Her charge attack, especially in the first battle, kills enemies fast, keep them in succession (keep hitting Triangle) and it'll clear them faster. When you get her 3rd//4th weapon, her C5 attack is just like one of her Musou attacks, it hurts and dazes enemies exceptionally well. She can hold 4 items at once. Cons: Her attack range is quite short however, which is a problem with large groups, and no time for charge. Another problem is how open she is left to attacks, due to a slow C(1,2,3,4,5) attacks. __________________________________________________________________ Zhen Ji's Moves __________________________________________________________________ Square - swings flute Triangle (Charge) - plays flute, the note explodes, (Note: I recommend this for the first battle, three of these in succession will clear the large groups of enemies that surround you.) Jump + Triangle - Plays flute in air (great for knocking enemies off horse) Musou - Plays flute, attacking anything in range Musou Rage - Same as Musou, except stronger, and she plays 4 flute notes at end, finishing off any normal enemy. Square X2 - attacks, then 360 spin attack Square X3 - attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards Square X4 - attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick Square X5 - attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick, then another 360 kick Square X6 - attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick, then another 360 kick, then charged flute swing a (a few times if evolution attack occurs) C1 - attack, then strong slash upwards. C2 - attacks, then 360 spin attack, then slaps back and forth about 4-5 times. C3 - attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then kicks backwards. C4 - attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick, then whirlwind in front of her, knocking enemies into air C5 - attacks, then 360 spin attack, then attacks downwards, then 360 kick, then another 360 kick, then plays flute note, (one note of her Musou attack) __________________________________________________________________ Zhen Ji's Best Items __________________________________________________________________ Orb - Ice Harness - Red Hare Item 1. -Tiger Amulet Item 2. -Peacock Amulet Item 3. -Arm Guards Item 4. -Tortoise Amulet Item 5. -Wind Scroll Why? - Ice orb is useful, because it freezes the enemy, when you need that extra couple of seconds to recuperate after an attack. Her attack speed can be quite slow, so this is extremely useful, just so they don't cut in during recuperation. Red Hare, because she can run quite slow at times. Use this to run to those quick spots, Well, Quick. I don't recommend fighting on the horse though, get off to do that. But, as always, attack as your charging through enemy units. Tiger Amulet, hell, it makes her stronger, I recommend this for ALL officers. Arm Guards, her Charge attack is wonderful, but it is slow, yes, use this so you can actually get that last note out, instead of being rudely interrupted by a grouchy audience. Tortoise Amulet, because as your charging, and you get hurt, you don't want the damage to be that considerable. You want to get that damage out without damage to yourself. Wind Scroll, because she has relatively short range, this is extremely helpful in killing more enemies. __________________________________________________________________ Zhen Ji's Musou __________________________________________________________________ 1. Battle of Guan Du - Easy, use your charge attack to clear enemies out. Save attack bases and generals if you can, and take out Guan Yu. When the seige towers appear, protect them if possible. Search out Cao Pi for a cutscene. 2. Battle of Chi Bi - Kill Huang Gai! You can kill Zhuge Liang as well, but if you kill Huang Gai first, there is no need. They are the main perpetrators of the fire, after that, just kill, maim and murder your way through the masses to beat Sun Quan. 3. Battle of Jie Ting - So easy, battle your way up to Ma Su, kill him and take the base, (a cutscene should appear, telling you when to attack, till then, just kill anyone in the center.) Then battle your way through other enemies to get to anyone who comes close to Cao Pi, and kill Zhuge Liang. Take out Ma Chao when he shows up, he can become quite a pest. 4. Battle of Wu Zhang Plains - If you haven't beefed her up by now, this will be hard. Head to the right side of the map, to the bottom of the three passages there, and kill the defense guard, or w/e the hell his name is, that will end all supplies getting to the middle. Once that's finished, take out the two attack bases in the middle, and defend all defense bases till Zhuge Croaks (cutscene), then go to the bottom center place, take out the arbalests (cutscene,) and advance with the rest of the army to kill Jiang Wei. Watch out for explosions; take out the task team on the bottom right. 5. Battle of He Fei Castle - Medium difficulty, just kill your way till the army attacks Sun Quan's Boat. Save Sima Yi if he starts struggling, and watch Cao Pi. Lu Xun usually attacks you, so be wary of him. Also take out Ram's, they are annoying as well. When that's all done and over with, go after Sun Quan, killing Zhou Tai on the way. __________________________________________________________________ Zhen Ji's Costumes __________________________________________________________________ 1 - Long purple elegant dress, parts in the middle, by legs.

I can't get her 4th weapon! A. Make sure its on hard, or chaos mode, and make sure you have 300 or more kills, before going by Cao Pi for the Cutscene. There are two cutscenes in this mission, one about an Ambush, and one with her killing enemies with her musou, make sure its the latter of the two. __________________________________________________________________ Thanks __________________________________________________________________ GamesFAQS Dynasty Warriors 5 board (More specifically UncleUlty_X and LadyShenXia) Alex Chua For giving me the weapon power on Zhen's second. weapon. __________________________________________________________________ Contact information __________________________________________________________________ Email - Twistedmind646@gmail.com GameFAQs ID - DarkArchAngel64 IGN ID - DarkArchAngel646 Aim SN - LOSTDarkArkAngel Feel Free to contact them. __________________________________________________________________ Copyright information __________________________________________________________________ This FAQ may not be reproduced under any circumstances, except for personal or private use, unless I otherwise state so.
