Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well then, if you are here then you must be wondering how to play Nobunaga, how to unlock Nobunaga, or you have nothing better to do while surfing the Samurai Warriors section of the site. In any case this is the character guide for Oda Nobunaga and I will try to inform you as much as I can about him in the game Samurai Warriors for the PS2. Before we go further you should know that this guide is for the North American version of Samurai Warriors and while I do know some about the Japanese version I will not be able to answer any questions about it. This guide was composed with the intent of making you familiar with using the character Nobunaga in the game. It does not contain secrets for any other characters besides Nobunaga himself and does not contain cheats for the game. This guide is to try to help you become better at using him and getting the most out of him that you can. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.

How do I unlock Oda Nobunaga? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oda Nobunaga is one of the most "time consuming" characters to unlock. To play as Nobunaga you need to clear Oichi's Story Mode, Magoichi Saika's Story Mode, and Noh's Story Mode. -- Oichi is one of the base unlocked characters so you can play her right from the start of the game. -- Saiga Magoichi is unlocked after you beat the game with any other character once in their story mode. -- Noh(or Nouhime in JA version) is unlocked after you beat the game by clearing Ranmarui Mori's story mode once. To get Ranmaru Mori's story mode clear Mitsuhide Akechis story mode once. Once you have these three characters, proceed to clear their story modes once each, it matters not which ending you get, and you will unlock Oda Nobunaga, the Demon Lord himself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. Brief History of Oda Nobunaga ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nobunaga was born Oda Kippôshi, the second son of Oda Nobuhide (1508? -1549), a minor lord whose family once served the Shiba shugo. Nobuhide was a skilled warrior, and spent much of his time fighting the samurai of Mikawa and Mino. He also had enemies closer to home - the Oda were divided into two separate camps, with both vying for control of Owari's eight districts. Nobuhide's branch, of which he was one of three elders, was based at Kiyosu castle. The rival branch was to the north, in Iwakura Castle. -- Many thanks to www.samurai-archives.com for this information. I do not claim ownership of this information.

Move Sets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This section deals with all the moves Nobunaga can perform in the game. The table of symbols and keys I am using is listed below. Nobunaga is one of the more powerful characters in the game. That does not mean however you will blow through enemies with him. ---------------- [] = Square /\ = Triangle () - Circle(Musou bar must be full) ---------------- Moveset on Ground: ------------------ [] = Nobunaga slashes left. [][] = Nobunaga slashes left then right. [][][] = Nobunaga slashes left, right, and then a quick spin slash [][][][] = Nobunaga slashes left, right, quick spin slash, and a final slash that sends the enemies flying back. []x8 = If you press the square button up to eight times Nobunaga after the 4th slash will proceed to do 3 quick slashes followed by a final spin slash which will send enemies flying backward and falling down. Note you can only do more then four slashes if you have Nobunagas 2nd level weapon or higher. /\ = If you just press triangle Nobunaga will proceed to lift into the air and then shoots a blast of shockwave energy at the ground. If you keep pressing "triangle" Nobunaga will lift higher into the air and shoot a more powerful blast of energy at the ground with a bigger radius. Very DragonBall Z looking. []/\ = Nobunaga slashes at the enemy and then slashes upward sending the enemy flying into the air. If you keep pressing "triangle" Nobunaga will leap into the air and continue slashing the enemy 4-5 more times and then finally slashes them downward into the ground which sends any enemies near flying backwards. [][]/\ = A bit difficult to describe. Nobunaga does 2 slashes and then proceeds to quickly charge, flip and smash some energy into the ground stunning the enemy. However if you keep pressing "triangle" Nobunaga will then do a drill attack flying through the enemy which looks like a 3D version of M. Bisons Psycho Crusher move from Street Fighter. [][][]/\ = Nobunaga does three slashes and then quickly charges and releases a 360 degree shockwave around him that sends all enemies flying back. If you keep pressing "triangle" however Nobunaga will charge up a more powerful blast that creates a purple shield around him which looks quite badass. He then releases a much more powerful shockwave with a bigger radius and sends enemies flying. Very useful if youre surrounded by hordes of enemies. Jumping = Nobunaga slashes with his sword horizontaly. /\in air = Nobunaga slams his sword down into the ground very quickly. Moveset on Horseback: --------------------- [] = Nobunaga slashes right [][] = Nobunaga again slashes right [][][] = Yet again slashes right [][][][] = Guess what? He slashes right []x8 = Nobunaga proceeds to slash to the right all 8 times......wow. [][][]/\ = Nobunaga slashes three times and then charges and releases a 360 degree blast similair to his ground attack. Musou Attacks: -------------- () Normal Musou: My God this is pitiful. Nobunaga proceeds to charge through the enemy which usually makes him miss the enemy your aiming for and its very difficult to control. The best thing to do is just tap "circle" and then do his 8 hit "square" attack. Kanji "Meaning": Heaven () True Musou: The exact same thing except Nobunaga does a little spin hit combo at the end. Its sad that the Demon Lord got such a crappy musou attack but hey he's already powerful. Kanji "Meaning": Supreme Nobunaga is a very powerful fighter. He has decent range with his sword and his maxed attack value is one of the higher ones in the game. While he doesnt have the best crowd control he is still a very versatile fighter but is a bit on the slow side. Not Goemon or Keiji slow but hes slower then some. His []/\ combo is incredible against a general with a powerful weapon in hand. Just keep smashing the "triangle" button afterwards and let the damage be done. While his [][][]/\ attack may sound awesome it does take a bit to charge up his more powerful version so be careful if you are close to dying. When all his stats are maxed Nobunaga is a very nice and powerful character. Add some +35-50 items to him and you've got the Demon Lord on your hands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. Weapons ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Of course as your probably know every character has 5 weapons available to him or her. This section will give you a quick breakdown of Nobunagas 5 available weapons as well as tell you how to go about getting his 5th weapon. 1st Weapon - "Kumo-giri" - 4 attacks - Attack: 15 --A blade that belonged to Raikoh of the legendary Genji clan. 2nd Weapon - "Oni-giri" - 6 attacks - Attack: 25 --Said to be the sword used by the ancient hero Tsuna Watanabe. 3rd Weapon - "Hasebe" - 8 attacks - Attack: 32 --An exceptional blade forged by the great smith Kinishige Haseba. 4th Weapon - "Muramasa" - 8 attacks - Attack: 43 --A dark masterpeice crafted by the legendary smith Muramasa. 5th Weapon - "Orochi" - 8 attacks - Attack: 48 Night Element Musou +45 Attack +26 Mounted Attack +49 Attack Radius +35 --The blade that was used to slay Orochi, the great serpent. 5th Weapon Obtaining -------------------- Mode: Story or Free Level: Battle of Okehazama Diff: Hard or Chaos(Hell) Requirements: Beaten Nobunagas Story Mode at least once, doesnt matter which ending you got. Description/Walkthrough: At the start of the battle Nobunaga will claim that if he can kill some sub generals then he can delay the Imagawa Army. 2 blue dots will flash on the screen. Head to them and defeat both the "Defense Captains" you see. Each time a gate should open up to a little fort with sub generals in them. You dont have to beat them to get the weapon, but feel free to do so if you want. After this you should hear that Hideyoshi has arrived in the Top-Middle part of the map. Nobunaga claims he wants to meet up with him. However, do not go to the fort and help out or meet up with Hideyoshi. After about 3-5 minutes Hideyoshi should be eliminated and you will get a message telling you so. The Imagawa army will then recieve some reinforcments. Nobunaga of course being the demon that he is claims he will destroy them all. You will then receive a mission that says to eliminate all the Imagawa elite officers. Kill all but 2 of the elite officers, one of them you should leave alive should be Ieyasu Tokugawa. Once you have done so, head towards the main entrance of the Imagawa camp. Hanzo will appear in the very South-East corner of the map. He claims he will kill Imagawa first, well this cant be allowed to happen so QUICKLY rush for the enemy base. Hanzo is very fast so you might wanna have a horse preferably Matsukaze (see the Items/Rares Guide on how to get him). If you get to the enemy base first you will complete the mission and Hanzo will withdraw from both the map and the "fakes" he sent to your main base. The supply team should then show up South-East of where Hideyoshi first appeared on the map in this little circular hole area. Rush there and kill the captain and congratulations, the sword is yours. Now go back and kick Imagawas butt and complete the mission. A quick runthrough again -- Defeat the 2 "Defense Captains" at the start of the mission. -- Allow Hideyoshi to die by not helping or rendevozing with him. -- Kill all the Imagawa Elite Officers -- Rush to the enemies main camp before Hanzo -- Kill the supply captain that appears. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8. Stats and other info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ These are Nobunagas starting and final stats respectively. They are taken from the game when he was Rank 1 and when I maxed his stats out later on. Please note that Item effects do not apply here. These are all his BASE stats without item add-ons or his 5th weapon implemented. Base Atk: 56 Final Atk: 176 Base Def: 58 Final Def: 190 Base Ranged Atk: 61 Final Ranged Atk: 174 Based Ranged Def: 57 Final Ranged Def: 186 Base Mounted Atk: 66 Final Mounted Atk: 178 Base Mounted Def: 77 Final Mounted Def: 198 Base Speed: 100 Final Speed: 180 Base Jump: 135 Final Jump: 175 Base Evade: 120 Final Evade: 170 Nobunagas Ranks --------------- Rank 1 : Fool of Owari Rank 2-4 : The Upstart Rank 5-7 : Fiend of Gifu Rank 8-10 : Dark Hero Rank 11-14 : Conquerer Rank 15-19 : Chaos Being Rank 20 : Demon Lord Nobunagas Default Costume: Nobunaga in his black armor with his red cape. Nobunagas Alternate Costume: Nobunaga in his purple and white samurai outfit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9. Skills Chart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nobunagas skill tree is listed here. Some people have asked what skills are good for him. Everyone has their own style of play. I tend to love Reach as attack range is always good for crowd control. Guts and Parry are a must so you never stagger, and they both help on castle stages. Mastery is always nice but since Nobunagas musou attack is so horrible you might want to not get it. Other then that experiment and see what suits you best. Note these are not level 2 and 3 costs. These are base costs from which they are initially available MIGHT BRANCH ============ Vitality --------- Guts Life 166 Life 170 Attack 150 Attack 170 Skill Pts 150 Skill Points 1000 Reach --------- Pressure --------- Resist Life 150 Life 159 Life 170 Attack 60 Attack 110 Attack 170 Skill Pts 150 Skill Pts 150 Skill Pts 1000 Rage --------- Precission Life 153 Life 170 Attack 75 Attack 170 Skill Pts 250 Skill Pts 1000 Vigor --------- Frenzy Life 156 Life 162 Attack 90 Attack 130 Skill Pts 100 Skill Pts 150 PROWESS BRANCH ============== Cavalier --------- Mastery Musou 182 Musou 195 Defense 110 Defense 170 Skill Pts 100 Skill Pts 1000 Drive --------- Parry Musou 170 Musou 195 Defense 60 Defense 170 Skill Pts 150 Skill Pts 1000 Acclaim --------- Pierce Musou 174 Musou 195 Defense 75 Defense 170 Skill Pts 250 Skill Pts 1000 Rally --------- Potence Musou 178 Musou 190 Defense 90 Defense 150 Skill Pts 100 Skill Pts 250 GUARD BRANCH ============ Fortitude--------- Counter ---------- Block Musou 174 Musou 182 Musou 195 Speed 120 Speed 140 Speed 170 Skill Pts 150 Skill Pts 300 Skill Pts 1000 Celerity --------- Grace Musou 170 Musou 195 Speed 110 Speed 170 Skill Pts 150 Skill Pts 1000 Discern --------- Resilence Musou 186 Musou 195 Speed 150 Speed 170 Skill Pts 250 Skill Pts 1000 Fitness --------- Focus Musou 178 Musou 190 Speed 130 Speed 160 Skill Pts 150 Skill Pts 150 ELEMENT BRANCH ============== --Note you do not have to unlock anything on the element branch, they are all initially available. --All Element Branches cost 200 skill points Kesa-giri Ward Element-Shot Blast Torrent Down-Slash Shock Up-Slash Rampage Domino ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10. Stages and Paths ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Battle of Okehazama (Base Path): --Pretty simple and straightforward. Kill the guards, then head North and, assist Hideyoshi by killing the named general and all his guards. Then proceed to eliminate all other generals, then kill Imagawa. Note that depending on the order you complete the missions in Hanzo could show up in two different places. One above the enemys main camp, or below it. Battle of Ise (Base Path) (Branching Point): --A complex mission, not difficult, but a bit of running around. Start off by eliminating the 2 pilgrims closest to you. Then protect Hideyoshi as he moves towards the center to set it on fire. After its success and Magoichi decides to surrender go into the main fortress and slay the head commander Shoukei. After that either kill all the rebel groups or let them escape to win the mission, next. ::BRANCHING POINT:: If you wish to move along Nobunagas(upper path) and get the "movie" ending, do the following in the Battle of Ise. When the mission starts kill the rebels marked with a green dot. You only need to do this until it says "Oda Army has the upper hand". Afterwards protect Hideyoshi until he sets the fort on fire. When Magoichi decides to surrender with Shoukei, enter the main fort and slay Shoukei, you don't have to kill Magoichi. Then when all the rebels decide to escape kill ALL of them. That means every single green dot on the map you need to kill. They have the name "Pilgrim" above their head. If you did all this correctly you should go onto Nobunagas upper path. I will continue the FAQ from there and then goto the lower path. ::END BRANCHING POINT:: ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Battle of Nagashino(Upper Path) --Probably Nobunagas hardest mission on the upper path. Start off by going to the South-East and occupying the supply depot. Then rush back all the way North and help Mitsuhide defend the mountain by killing all the basic units around him. Then do not allow the 2 generals to meet up by killing either one of them or better yet both. Then kill Yukimura and the enemy general will try to retreat. Slay him and the mission is completed. Revolt at Honnouji(Upper Path) --Ah yes, the mission everyone on the message board hates. But guess what? This time you are the escapee himself, praise the Lord right? Start off by rescuing Oichi. Lead her out and all is well. Or you can let her die, but that would be mean. Then go and grab you wife Noh. However, she decides she hates you and defects to the enemies side. So kill her of course, after all thats what true love is. Then proceed out of Honnouji on the West side. Proceed towards the Southern part of the map and Nobunaga will tell Ranmaru that he cant protect him by himself. Go join up with Ranmaru and then proceed towards Mitsuhide and whip his butt. Then get to the escape point and that takes care of that. Recovery of Azuchi Castle(Upper Path) --This is a 2 part mission. The first part is in the field, the 2nd is in Azuchi castle. The quickest way to get through her is proceed North and protect the fire unit while it sets your home ablaze. Then kill all the generals in this area. Protect the fire unit again and keep proceeding North. Then head all the way West until you run into Keiji. Kick his butt and protect the fire unit again. Then head North/North-West until you run into Noh. Slay your wife yet again and then finally meet up with Mitsuhide and show him whos the boss. Inside the castle.......well go up. Once you get to the top show Mitsuhide who the true Demon Lord is once and for all and congratulations your done with Nobunagas upper path. ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Battle of Nagashino(Lower Path) --Same as his upper path except this time Shingen Takeda is the leader. So be extra careful and dont lose any missions otherwise your muskeeters will not fire correctly. Defense of Gifu Castle(Lower Path) --I hate this stage on Nobunagas side. Dont ask me why I just think it takes too long. Anyway, head south and secure the perimeter. Then destroy the siege machine and occupy the castle. Kenshin will head out from the East side of the map. Get to him before Keiji does and he will disappear. Then head to the bottom of the map and kill all the Defense Captains around the main enemy base and the gates will open. Kill the two generals inside and Kenshin will appear near your base. Rush back up and kill him before he enters your main base. Battle of Yamazaki(Lower Path) --This mission is a pain in the butt because for the most part of the mission you have no map visibility which makes it hard to find out where to go. At the start try to kill the 3 generals surrounding Mt Ten-Oh. Kill as many Gate Captains as you can along the way. Yukimura will show up near the Mid-South part of the map. Kill him and hes gone for good. Then Magoichi will show up near the Mid-North part of the map. Kill him and hes gone for good. Ranmaru will then want to "persuade" Mitsuhide to come out. Protect him as he head for Mitsuhides location near the Mid-Southern part of the map. Once he arrives wait for Mitsuhide to come to his position and then kick his butt. Hooray lower path completed. If anyone finds any tips/tricks or other info about the missions feel free to let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11. Quotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Musou : -Musou Begins- "Raaaarg!" -Musou Ends- "Useless!" True Musou: -Musou Begins- "Useless!" -Musou Ends- "Return to Dust!" Stage Completion: "Useless!" "Worthless!" General Kill: "All too easy!" Praising Oichi(when she achieves certain amount of kills or mission completion): "It appears you have some use to me." --If anyone finds some more that are unique, let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12.

Frequently Asked Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This section will be updated as I receive more questions or see certain topics on the message board that need attention about Nobunaga. Q: OMG WTF NOBUNAGA IS SO EVIL WTF!!!!! HE SLAUGHTERS EVERYONE!!! A: In this game yes he does. While it may seem strange Nobunaga was not really evil. While he had a very serious attitude and stern look he was a very smart general. His army was so strong partially because his troops believed in him so much even though they feared him. Nobunaga was actually very fond of Western culture especially religion. He was also very well educated and he lived quite a long life for his time. Be sure to visit www.samurai-archives.com for more information. Q: Why did Nobunaga and Ranmaru have a gay/intimate relationship in real life? Thats just gross and horrifying. A: This question has been answered many times on the message board and their was even a topic started by an Owari descendant himself about it. If you would like to know more visit the message board. Q: Nobunaga kicks major butt in this game!!! A: Yes I know, thats why I wrote this guide, to help you kick more butt with him. Q: You have something wrong in your guide!!! FIX IT!!! A: That is very possible. Humans are prone to making mistakes as the human mind is highly illogical as they say. If you see something wrong or you found an alternative route to an event feel free to email me at Savin877@yahoo.com However please be polite and also put something in the topic of the email such as "Samurai Warriors FAQ" so I can address it immediately. Q: I helped you out in your guide, dont I get credit? A: Of course, If you help me out by adding something that can possibly help future Nobunaga players then you most definately will be praised for your efforts in the credit section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14.
