Introduction This is a Character Mission Completion Guide for Koei's action game Sengoku Musou (Samurai Warriors). This mission completion guide features only information on completing Saika Magoichi's and Okuni's missions. The aim of this guide is to provide a detailed directional guide to help achieve all the missions in Saika Magoichi's musou mode. You can check your mission completion percentage by going to the treasure chest third option from the top in the main menu. After which you'll see five options and choose the second option from the right. Characters that had not been unlocked will not be in the list so make sure you've unlocked Saika Magoichi before checking how many missions you've completed. There are three types of missions, one in blue fonts, one in white fonts and the last in ????. The ones marked in blue are missions that had been completed and a seal will appeared stating it is completed. The ones marked in white are missions that you encountered but failed to complete. The missions marked with questions marks are missions that you've yet to encounter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Who are they? Who is Saika Magoichi? Saika Magoichi is a playable character in Sengoku Musou that can be unlocked by defeating the musou mode for any two characters. He can be easily identified by his rifle and the belt of ammunition across his chest. He wears dark green and brownish coat and slacks which looked like european military uniform. His second costume shows him topless, with a belt of ammunition across his bare chest and brownish slacks with a tatto on his left arm near the shoulder. Saika Magoichi's Historical Background Information - http://www.konigunninjutsu.com/History.htm Who is Okuni? Okuni is a playable character in Sengoku Musou that can be unlocked by completing the musou mode for Maeda Keiji. She can be easily identified by her umbrella and red hairband with her hair tied in plaits. She wears a white top with a long red skirt for Japanese mikos (priestess). Her second costume depicts her in a white top and skirt which made her resemble a race queen. She still carries an umbrella and wears a red hairband.

How to use this guide? Alright, I know someone, someday, will find this mission guide too comprehensive and full of details they can't understand. In order to make it easier for everyone, I'll give you guys some tips on finding what you want. When you open up this guide, press CTRL-F to do a search. From the table of contents at the top of the guide, copy and paste the topic you're interested to read in the search window and find. Note: It's easier to search by topics than stages. Thus, it'll be easier to search by pasting: for e.g. Strange Character's Mission Guide by Stages In that way, you'll be taken to Strange Character's Mission Guide by Stages part. And from there, do another search by stage by copying from the stage listing in there. You guys should be glad that I did the indexing for the guide so that searching is made easier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.

How to accomplish it? Simply defend ???? on his way to Oda main camp. Things to note: - ???? must be not defeated. - ???? comes out of Ise Nagashima through the right entrance. - Oda main camp is at the top right corner where Oda Nobunaga is. .................................................. Mission 1D - Retreat Mission Objective: - Guide civilian troops to the escape route from the battlefield How is the mission activated? - This mission is activated after ???? is defeated or killed by Oda Nobunaga and once Ise Nagashima is under fire attack. How to accomplish it? Simply find the three ally generals, Houshi (Monk) and get close to them. Saika Magoichi will direct them and ally generals Houshi will start moving. As long as all three Houshi reaches the escape point, the mission will be considered complete. Things to note: - Take care of your health. The fire in Ise Nagashima will gradually decrease your HP. ..................................................

How to accomplish it? Simply defeat Mori Ranmaru found near the bottom left corner of the map. .................................................. Mission 1F - Sniping Nobunaga, Preamble Shot Mission Objective: - Snipe Nobunaga by getting close to him How is the mission activated? - This mission is activated once all Houshi had either died or escaped after Mission 1D has activated. How to accomplish it? Simply re-enter Oda main camp and get close to Nobunaga. A movie scene will activate. ..................................................

Mission 2A - Start of Western Advance Assault Mission Objective: - Defeat Oda Army Advance Assault team How is the mission activated? - Automatically activated at the beginning of the stage. How to accomplish it? Simply defeat the three enemy generals Shibata Katsuie (top), Takigawa Kazumasu (middle), Niwa Nagahide (bottom) before they enter Honganji's Camp. Things to note: - Honganji's Camp is the square castle on the left side of the map where Honganji is found and it's noted in Japanese as Breakthrough Point. - In order to ensure Mission 2B and 2C's completion, defeat the generals by following this sequence, Shibata Katsuie, Takigawa Kazumasu, Niwa Nagahide. .................................................. Mission 2B - Sniping Nobunaga, First Shot Mission Objective: - Snipe Nobunaga ~Sounds pretty simple, but it ain't~ How is the mission activated? - Automatically after Mission 2A is activated. How to accomplish it? Go around to the top in the cavern area (green) and snipe Oda from the top of the map. To snipe Oda Nobunaga, press R1 to sniping mode and press square or triangle to shoot. Personnal preference is to use square since triangle takes longer time. Things to note: - Don't snipe Oda Nobunaga from any other places other than the top. Although the shot is registered as hit. It will be considered mission failed as Nobunaga was able to detect your presence. - In order to achieve other missions and this without replaying the stage, it is better to follow the sequence of completion for the missions as instructed. .................................................. Mission 2C - Vigorous Assault Mission Objective: - Defeat Oda Army Second Assault Wave How is the mission activated? - This mission is activated after the completion of Mission 2A. How to accomplish it? Simply defeat the three enemy generals Sassa Norimasa (top), Maeda Toshiie (middle), Sakuma Nobumori (bottom) before they enter Honganji's camp. Things to note: - Like Mission 2A, Honganji's camp is still the same spot. - Defeat Sakuma Nobumori first if you've followed the guide closely. - Defeat Maeda Toshiie or you may try to loop to the top and complete Mission 2B first if you think you used too much time since if Nobunaga moves again, you'll fail Mission 2B. Still I will recommend defeating Maeda Toshiie first before completing Mission 2B. - Complete Mission 2B after defeating the second general, totally ignoring the presence of Sassa Norimasa you lured at the top since Nobunaga will most likely move once you complete Mission 2C. Remember, do not walk near Oda Nobunaga and lure him as it will also trigger Mission 2B's failure. - After completing Mission 2B, defeat Sassa Norimasa at the top and complete Mission 2C. .................................................. Mission 2D - Name of Ambush Army Mission Objective: - Defeat Toyotomi Hideyoshi and prevent invasion How is the mission activated? - This mission is activated either after Mission 2C is completed or Mission 2C has failed.

Mission 2F - Reason to Fight Mission Objective: - Defeat Maeda Keiji and prevent invasion How is the mission activated? - This mission is activated some time after completion of Mission 2C, activation of Mission 2D and Mission 2E. How to accomplish it? Simply defeat Maeda Keiji before he enter Honganji's camp. Things to note: - If you defeat Akechi Mitsuhide fast enough, you may be fast enough to intercept Maeda Keiji in the middle of the map and most likely to find Oda Nobunaga there also. .................................................. Stage 3 - Defense of Echizen Missions: 3A. Rescuer of Lord, Agent of Destruction 3B. Sniping Mitsuhide 3C. Escape 3D. Hunter, Trophy 3E. Moving in Shadows 3F. Sniping Nobunaga, Second Shot 3G.

How to accomplish it? Simply head left and defeat Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori. .................................................. Mission 3B - Sniping Mitsuhide Mission Objective: - Snipe Akechi Mitsuhide from the hidden location How is mission activated? - This mission is activated after the completion of Mission 3A. How to accomplish it? You must take a long detour to Akechi Mitsuhide's camp and around it on the land while avoiding detection by Akechi Mitsuhide's army. Take the longest route to the middle right across the bridge not the cross bridge. Then go down when you reach the rightmost path down to the bottom right corner. Then move left after reaching the corner to reach the spot where X is and snipe Akechi Mitsuhide. Things to note: - Mission 3H requires you to fail this mission. - Once you're detected by Akechi Mitsuhide's army, you'll fail this mission. - Defeat the remaining key generals, excluding Akechi Mitsuhide, Maeda Keiji and Mori Ranmaru. Then capture all the gates at the top since if all the Houshi are defeated, you'll lose the stage. Thus, since you have the time to do so before sniping Akechi Mitsuhide, do so and ensure the survival of the Houshi-tachi. .................................................. Mission 3C - Escape Mission Objective: - Help the ???? retreat ~Please provide the romanized name, thanks~ How is the mission activated? - This mission is activated after the completion of Mission 2B or after some time. How to accomplish it? Basically, if you had followed my instructions previously, only one group will be engaging the enemy and take longer to escape. Things to note: - As long as a Houshi escapes, you'll not lose the stage if the remaining got defeated. - Therefore if the priority is to complete Mission 3D, you can ignore them and run to the top left corner to avoid detection by Hattori Hanzou. - ???? is the name of the monk group. ~Is is Ikkoushu?~ .................................................. Mission 3D - Hunter, Trophy Mission Objective: - Avoid detection from Hattori Hanzou How is the mission activated? - This mission is activated after the completion of Mission 2B and Akechi Mitsuhide sends Hattori Hanzou after Saika Magoichi. How to accomplish it? Simply avoid detection by retracing the same route that you took to Akechi Mitsuhide's camp, and flee further to the top left corner. If Hanzou has not detected you yet but is still chasing after you, move down to the bottom left corner. Things to note: - Mission 3E requires you to fail this mission. - Hattori Hanzou must return to camp after he failed to detect you to complete this mission. .................................................. Mission 3E - Moving in Shadows Mission Objective: - Defeat Hanzou before he returns to camp How is the mission activated? - This mission is activated after the failure of Mission 3D and a movie scene where Magoichi engages Hanzou. How to accomplish it. Simply defeat Hattori Hanzou before he returns to Akechi Mitsuhide's camp.

Mission 3F - Sniping Nobunaga, Second Shot Mission Objective: - Snipe Oda Nobunaga How is this mission activated? - This mission is activated after the completion of Mission 3B and Mission 3D. How to accomplish it? If you had followed Mission 3D directions, you would have taken notice that you should be camping at the bottom left corner and wait for Hanzou to return to camp. When Oda Nobunaga appears, you're already in position to snipe him. All you need to do is to move forward behind the bushes where X is and snipe Oda Nobunaga. .................................................. Mission 3G - Escape through Escape Point Mission Objective: - Advance quickly towards the escape point How is this mission activated? - This mission is activated after the completion or failure of Mission 3F. How to accomplish it? Simply head straight for the escape point and avoid any necessary fight without letting Oda Nobunaga get near to you.

Goodbye, the Days of Fighting .................................................. Mission 4A - Early Skirmishes Mission Objective: - Capture all southern entry points How is this mission activated? - Automatically activated at the beginning of the stage. How to accomplish it? Simply capture the three southern entry gates. Things to note: - Since you're in the process of achieving this, you should defeat Akechi Mitsuhide and any other generals in the vicinity before capturing the last gate. This is due to the fact that Saikashu (Saika Company) is located near the south when you're completing the other missions and they will survive if they meet with little resistance. - Since you'll want to complete Mission 4B, it is recommended to capture the rightmost gate last as you'll be on your way up on Mission 4B. .................................................. Mission 4B - Fool's Realization Mission Objective: - Stop Oda Army from activating the fire attack How is this mission activated? - This mission is activated after the completion of Mission 4A. How to accomplish it? Simply prevent the fire attack team marked by a bright blue spot from reaching the spot where X is. Things to note: - X is located at the top of the map. - Like I mentioned before, the enemy generals on the way up will not be kind to spare your Saikashu from death when you're completing other missions and is too far to defend them. Therefore killing as many generals on your way to prevent the fire attack and capturing as many gates as possible is recommended. .................................................. Mission 4C - Sniping Nobunaga, Third Shot Mission Objective: - Snipe Oda Nobunaga from the hidden location How is this mission activated? - This mission will definitely activate after a certain time passed during the game, irregardless of the completion of Mission 4A and Mission 4C. How to accomplish it? Simply go to the spot where X is, taking whichever route you prefer. Jump up to the balcony, which is between the bushes and the building near the X spot and snipe Oda Nobunaga from there with a clear shot. Things to note: - Mission 4E requires you to fail this mission. - And to activate Mission 4E, run along the left corridors outside the castle and approach Nobunaga before Honganji meets him. - If you had not followed my advice to clear the generals and captured the gates on the right where Saikashu is, this is one last chance to do so. .................................................. Mission 4D - Finale of the Ending Theme Mission Objective: - Defeat Oda Nobunaga How is this mission activated? - This mission is activated after the completion of Mission 4C. How to accomplish it?

Author's Last Words Basically, I guessed GameFAQs did post the guide but I failed to classify it correctly and thus, the individual character's FAQ become FAQ for every character. Oh well, so I decide that every update I do, I'll add additional characters to the guide. If you find any of the missions too hard to accomplish, you may try to work on it in easy mode. Well, I complete most musou modes in easy difficulty before I initialized my characters and replayed the game in hard difficulty. Sorry for omitting the names, I had to do research before confirming the names are correct for each general. Basically, I researched myself and included the NPC generals' names for the game. Thanks for those who tried to contribute to help. Well, if you contributed before I did the research, I would gladly include your names to recognise your contributions. All Oda Generals had been named except one, so I'll still require assistance for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9. Credits I'll like to express my thanks to The Left Wings for showing me the Chinese website that helped me compiled this mission guide. I did try out them before completing this guide and post as much details as possible that could activate or help with the completion of the missions. The website address where I took and tried to complete my mission is as follows: http://forum1.gamer.com.tw/G2.php?bsn=06121&parent=125&sn=286&eorder=37 Thanks to Koei and Omega Force for creating this wonderful game that made me spend days and nights without sleeping and working in exhaustion.
