Dynasty Warriors 9 is a game that brings more of what fans enjoyed about the previous games in the series. However, there are also some significant changes to the formula including the new open world system and some changes to the combat system. During the Wei campaign of Dynasty Warriors 9 you will run into a side objective called Forming Reinforcements. You have to pick the right.

Made a thread back then, and we've already figured out the combination. Go look for it if you're still stuck at it.in general some of the text-based quests can get preety annoying, but some of them can get preety amusing.

How do bow and arrows not work?As for sucky missions, any that are on a boat. Most of the time the enemies get knocked off boat. They usually respawn back on boat, but sometimes they just float in the water instead. Or you fall off the boat and got get back on. It's annoying quest where there's 4 guys you have to kill, but they're up in towers and if you don't kill them in one shot while their back is turned, they're all 'You traitor!'
Even when you already killed them. Plus there's no way to get a good shot from a bow and arrow, due to the stairs and other things in the way.I ended up having to unload the who area and rush to the main boss on Beginner, so I wouldn't have to do that mission again. I wanted to play through Sun Jian's missions today. At the second one, after the yellow turban Zhou Cang (can't spell his name sry) I felt like teleporting to the city all the way in the southern desert area to craft his best weapon (I needed a coin scroll vendor for it).
After I teleported some dialogue for the actual mission triggered and well. Teleporting became blocked after that. So I had to ride all the way manually.
From the middle of the south of the map to very far north east. THAT SUCKED THE MOST!:PBut as for working as intended top 3:3. The mission where you have to stop Wang Yi from approaching Ma Chao. And she just keeps running and healing herself so you have to keep knocking her backwards foreeeever on chaos until you finally got her worn out.2. Diao Chan's first mission, because you have to keep Cao Cao from retreating and lose the mission if you don't skip most of the enemy and kill him (while being underleveled and with standart weapon while he is boosted). And when you are finally done.
He escapes anyway thanks to the plot.1. The mission where a guy wants to cross a garrison and you have to stealth kill 4 guards on the gate towers without them noticing you. The mission resets everytime you get spotted.
But after you are through the mission Guan Yiping is waiting for you anyway and suddenly it doesn't matter anymore that she spots the two of you and attacks. Game logic at its best.

Troops' Betrayal mission and I'm stumped too. Marker puts me in the middle of a field in Hanzhong.Edit: I figured it out, you have to go and break all the boxes marked with the yellow icon on the map around where the marker puts you.
The items you need to present to the Qiang leader are inside of them. Originally posted by:Dude I just got to the Qiant Troops' Betrayal mission and I'm stumped too.

Possible bug since I lazily teleported into the town? More likely that I'm just dumb and blind.

More likely that I'm just dumb and blind.I thought it was bugged at first too, it gave me a marker in the corner of the town near the merchants but about 50m away from them next to an empty cart. There are some loot crates around it in about a 100m radius. I teleported as well, just wasn't seeing them at first.
Originally posted by:I really hate the mission in Chapter 2 for any of the coalition factions to assist Cao Cao in the capitol after his failed assassination attempt on Dong Zhuo. It forces you to use the grappling hook which is dislike, and also breaks the lore pretty hard in general. I think you can do it without grappling hook. Theres a backdoor to Louyang castle and you can break down gates by wailing on it. Urg this mission.
Whenever I used the grappling hook Dian Wei died and I couldn't break down the door, because it was before the patch and I didn't know they were breakable.
The open world adds some complexities to the game that we haven't seen in previous Warriors games. You have shops to peruse, weapons and accessories to craft, and the whole of ancient China to explore. These all sound very exciting, but ultimately this is a Warriors game.
None of it is going to be too complex. That said, there are still a few things to know that will make your time with the game go more smoothly.None of these tips focus on combat directly, but they are centered around you learning how to make the most of your time with the game and have some fun despite the game's shortcomings. Don't Play on NormalWhether you're totally new or a veteran, you are probably not going to find any challenge on normal difficulty.Switching to hard doesn't just make enemies tougher, it increases the amount of captains you'll find just about anywhere. It's definitely an improvement considering how empty things feel on normal difficulty.Chaos difficulty also increases the amount of captains you'll come across, but enemies become complete health sponges and don't do all that much to defend themselves. I don't really count 'rolling around' as self-defense, do you?
Fast Travel When You CanIt doesn't take a full 2 hours to go across China like Koei Tecmo claimed in previews last year, but it does take a while even with a hyper-fast horse. Make use of fast travel whenever you can to save time.As a reminder, any area of the map you've revealed at any point in time can be seen by any character you play. The only restriction on your fast traveling is whether the area you're going to is under enemy control. Be Mindful of Nearby Obstacles When FightingIt is really very easy to accidentally knock enemy officers (especially ones you have to kill for a mission) into obstacles and get them stuck. That sounds great, except you have to figure out how to get to them and kill them safely. That's a lot easier said than done in enclosed spaces.Try to aim yourself so your R1 attacks and musou don't knock enemies directly into obstacles to try to mitigate this issue.Of course, you may still run into situations like the above where Sun Quan just sunk through the floor above him.
Just wait for the enemy officer to sort itself out in these situations. Shopkeeper and Blacksmith Wares Scale with the StoryDon't run around China looking for Elixirs. Once you get far enough in the story, you can buy them at any shopkeeper.There are some cities and forts where you can buy items prematurely, or those that have special wares. Always Check TradersTraders are the one NPC you want to check in every town.
Each Trader NPC has its own rotating inventory, and it rotates each day.Traders sometimes sell rare materials alongside their generally large furniture wares, which is what makes checking them so important. Getting yellow-grade materials will save you time down the line if you're aiming for crafting top-tier weapons. Always Wear a Gold CrownYou should be wearing the Gold Crown accessory as soon as you can either buy or make it. The Gold Crown attracts item towards you, which is invaluable. Then again, accessory slots are invaluable, too.
This particular accessory is just too useful not to have equipped. Stat Point AllocationThere are really only three stats that matter: Your speed, attack, and power.Speed actually increases your attack speed, which in itself is an absolute boon. You need it, I need it. We all need it. The faster you attack, the more hits you can get in at a time.I don't know whether I'd recommend maxing your speed out first, because attack damage in itself is so important. You need that extra standard attack and special attack damage, and your primary stat goal should be to hit 999 attack as quickly as possible.The long and the short is to pump all your stat gains into speed and power. Choose Gems Based on Their Bonuses, Not Your Characters' Elemental AttacksYou may be tempted to choose certain elements for your gems because the character you're playing uses a particular element in its special and musou attacks, but in my experience that is not the best course of action.Each gem elemental type boosts a particular stat when using an attack that uses that element.
That sounds great! Until you run into something like every single high-tier ice gem boosting defense when using ice attacks. None of the ice gems boost attack power when using ice attacks.I highly recommend using actual attack-boosting yellow-grade gems like Vermillion Bird on pretty much every character. They downright hurt and are prone to percentage damage bonuses on special and musou attacks.If you absolutely want to stick with a character's element and end up buying a few gems of their type from the Coin Collector, prioritize special and musou attack bonuses above all else. Start Your Gem Collecting Off Via Scourge Gems From DelittantesIt's easy to do, really. Scourge Gems aren't amazing, but they're the first purple-grade ones you're going to be able to get and it's better than nothing.You can find Delittantes in town teahouses, they require Hunting Points to get their rewards.
Shooting Bandits in the Mountains Gives No Hunting PointsJust something to be aware of. Only animal kills with your bow and arrow count towards your Hunting Points.Hunting Points are actually absurdly easy to max out. Just wander the wilderness with a bunch of Poison Arrows and try to find boss-level special animals to snipe.It doesn't take long to rack up several thousand doing this, rather than shooting down deer near the road. You Can Buy Weapon Recipes From a Towns' Coin CollectorsYou can do this all the way up to every weapon sets' best weapons. You just need the coins to do it.
Each recipe requires 3 scrolls to learn.Just Stay on the Roads in TownsI try to take shortcuts all the time. It's rarely worth it.
Just stay on the roads in towns to save yourself the headache of having to use your grappling hook to get over a few buildings. Free Mode Opens Up After You Beat One Character's Story'Nuff said. But, Free mode is pretty much identical to Story mode.There are certainly more tips for surviving in Dynasty Warriors 9, but you'll figure them all out quickly enough.
The best way to enjoy this game is to try to make your own fun, whether that means collecting every yellow-grade EX weapon or just pushing through all the stories.These tips are nice and all, but if you want to know how to get your hands on pretty much unlimited gold, XP, and ancient coins you need to check out my. If you want to know which characters are clones,.
