Copyright =============================================================================== ================= 1. Introduction ================= Hello, this my other FAQ on Samurai Warriors 2 US version. Don't expecting much from this guide, because I'm still newbie and may be there are so much fault. With this, I try to introduce yourself with a Samurai in age of State Chaos Mitsuhide is a loyal retainer serve under Nobunaga Oda who wield a Katana. His first met with Nobunaga is when Nobunaga strike the Imagawa in Okehazama. =============================================================================== ========================= 2. Character Personality ========================= Akechi Mitsuhide (Akechi Mitsuhide, 1528 July 2, 1582 Japanese calendar 6th month 13th day), nicknamed Jubei, was a samurai who lived during the Sengoku period of Feudal Japan. Mitsuhide was a general under daimyo Oda Nobunaga, although he later betrayed Nobunaga and caused him to commit seppuku. Born in Mino province (now Gifu prefecture) as a descendant of the shugo Toki clan, Mitsuhide began serving Nobunaga after Nobunaga's conquest of Mino province in 1566 and received Sakamoto (in Omi, 100,000 koku) in 1571. Although Nobunaga rarely put too much trust in his retainers, he particularly trusted Katsuie Shibata, Hideyoshi Hashiba and Mitsuhide Akechi. After Mitsuhide received Sakamoto he moved to pacify the Tamba region by defeating several clans such as the Isshiki of Tango. In 1579, he captured Yakami Castle from Hatano Hideharu by promising Hideharu peace terms. This accomplished Mitsuhide's goal, although Nobunaga betrayed the peace agreement and had Hideharu executed. Naturally this did not make the Hatano family happy and a short while later several of Hideharu's retainers murdered Akechi Mitsuhide's mother. The situation was fueled through several public insults Nobunaga had directed at Mitsuhide, that even drew the attention of some Western observers. Mitsuhide blamed Nobunaga for his mother's death and the attack at Honnoji on June 21, 1582 (Japanese: 6th month 2nd day) Mitushide exacted his revenge. He has been credited with killing Oda Nobunaga; while Mitsuhide did not execute Nobunaga personally, he did force him to commit seppuku for his betrayal and subsequent murder of Mitsuhide's mother. When they found out about the assassination, both Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu rushed to be the first to avenge Nobunaga and take his place. Hideyoshi got to Mitsuhide first, and Mitsuhide's allies such as Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was related to Mitsuhide through a marriage, betrayed him. Mitsuhide survived for 13 days, until he was defeated by Hideyoshi at the Battle of Yamazaki. Mitsuhide is rumored to have been killed by a peasant warrior with a bamboo spear by the name of Nakamura (some say such an ignominious death was but karmic reward for killing his lord). However, there were also rumors that he was not killed, but rather started a new life as a priest called Tenkai.

Must kill the supply captain before leave this map Walkthrough ----------- To succeed Tadakatsu guard the gate that lead to Ieyasu, you must kill the 6 unique officer and most of any generic officer. 2 Player modes is a good advice to obtain his weapon, since in this stage, both you and your frineds can share the kill of unique officers, that means you do not have defeat them personally. They are Keiji Maeda, Katsuie Shibata, Kanetsugu Naoe, Masamune Date, Okuni, and Yukimura Sanada. You can either use these guide below or guide above. And you must preserve at least 4 allies alive (if you're the ones left, who will charge his main camp?) First, go defeat the Date Army, then go to Keiji is. Defeating him might be a pain. Then to Katsuie Shibata. After Katsuie defeat, Yukimura Sanada should advance to your camp, so defeat him. He is tough, as tough as Keiji, with more speed (pain). Now, go to Okuni. Defeat her, and continue towards Kanetsugu Naoe. Defeat him, too. Now the only matters left are open the gate. Open the gates from two sides, which will help your morale. After you reach Tadakatsu Honda, escape, to the place where you fought Keiji (Azai main camp???). Wait message that tell you your army is advancing towards Ieyasu Main Camp, Kotaro Fuma then will appear, and the supply captain too. Kill him, go to Kotaro and defeat him, then to Tadakatsu Honda, followed by killing Ieyasu Tokugawa. =============================================================================== =================== 8. Tips and Tricks =================== Some tips won't hurt you, so perhaps it will be useful to manage your survival in battles. 1. When on low level (1-5), maximize your R1 + S, because it's your best move. You can kill officer quickly, but watch it's recovery time. Many officer in story, like Nagamasa Azai, use this recovery time to attack you. 2. When facing an officer with many peons, it's wise to use SSSST or SSSSSSST, since these two attacks has a good reach. When facing a few peons, maximize your R1 + S or SSSSST(T). These two attacks will leave the enemy vulnurable to your attack. 3. Use counter stance often when facing unique power type officer, like Keiji or Tadakatsu. They have a relative longer time to execute attack, so use this opportunity. When they're charging, never block it, just use your counter stance. 4. Max out your Discern, Prodigy, and Potence, since these three is the first essential skills to Mitsuhide. 5. Deal most hit in every stages. Not only increasing your rank in the end of stage, but also improve your money and exp that you'll gotten. You can easily execute it with lightning element weapon and use SSSSSSST. It will deal so many hit. Or, bring your musketeer, wait until you level up (5 secs infinite musou) and execute double musou. 6. While running, try to use his T. It'll increase his movement speed. =============================================================================== =================================== 9 .
