Round 1
BATTLE OF BO WANG PO, Part 1
| |
|---|---|
| In a one player game, your character begins on horseback, otherwise all players start on foot. Practice your character's special moves as the enemy troops are alerted. The first round is a pretty straightforward mission with all sorts of spearmen as your only enemies. After you cross the bridge, you'll face the first enemy general as well as his batch of newer enemy soldiers. Bash the containers for food and treasure, then lure the boss back to the middle of the bridge. Pick up the torch on the ground to inflict damage on Gaidu and destroy his lackeys. |
Round 2
BATTLE OF BO WANG PO, Part 2
| |
|---|---|
| The round begins in the middle of the bridge where the first boss battle left off. You'll begin to encounter new enemies here like the assassins, fat men and the musclemen. Dispatch them along with the lesser foot soldiers and pave your way to the right. Make full use of the weapons that you discover from different containers. You will go deeper into the forest along with more assassins. In the clearing, a general on horseback arrives. Beware of Lhaze's bombs and fire breath! |
The bonus game resets if a new player joins in. The premise of this eating contest is to rotate the lever around while rapidly tapping the buttons in order to scarf down food as quickly as possible. The first one to consume his entire platter wins the Perfect Bonus. The food items on the platter and point values are listed down as follows. |
FEAST PLATE | FOOD | BONUS | QTY | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEAT BUN | 1000 points | x 6 | 6000 points | |
| CHICKEN | 2000 points | x 3 | 6000 points | |
| BARBECUE | 5000 points | x 1 | 5000 points | |
| PERFECT BONUS | 10000 points | |||
| |
|---|---|
| The round begins in the middle of the forest as you encounter enemies like assassins and ninjas. The mace you can obtain here will be of good help, as well as a gong to summon a horse. Bash your way through the forest as you encounter rolling barrels with items as well as a stone bridge guarded by an army of soldiers. At the building past the bridge, light up the arena using the torch to inflict initial damage on Taranis. He attacks mainly with a rolling attack, body splash and a hammer pound. Take advantage of moving around the wide arena! |
Following your victory over Taranis is a boss battle with 3 of Akkila Orkhan's female assassins. You will fight this trio of femme fatales along with ninjas. These lithe females are quite agile to compensate their short health gauges. They mostly attack by jumping kicks and somersaults as well as the occasional throwing of daggers from a distance. Focus on one of the them at a time until each goes down, though attacking them while they are all in one side is also a good idea albeit a risky one. Since they are women, you cannot see the usual mutilating effects of a special move kill. |

|---|---|
| Ninjas emerge from the water on your raft as you begin. Finish them off and hop on a rooftop ledge to fight assassins. Afterwards, you go through a semi-long corridor filled with assassins, ninjas, fat men and a muscleman leader. You'll then hop on the shallows of the river as you fight some spearmen and as you go to the right, a few assassins and a muscleman. Once you get back to shore, you'll fight the formidable general Atika, equipped with a sword and an extendable morning star, making him a menacing foe. |
| |
|---|---|
| Begin the round by eliminating as many lowly spearmen on your left. Once you have killed every last one of them, the next area begins where civilians refugees are slaughtered. This area is a massive arena filled by all sorts of enemies as you go to the right. Pick up the falchion or ride the horse and plow your way through. General Baidu will arrive at the very end of this area, carrying a wide poleaxe. His usual attack is a charging lunge with his weapon. Enemies will outnumber you but try to group them with Baidu on one side and attack! |
The round begins where you left off, but now you go leftwards, returning to the huge battlefield but with less enemies. As you go west, you'll encounter a road fork with a signpost: Sugisugi then arrives on horseback. Since he only has a short health gauge, hack him down to obtain his Seikou sword. Much further are more assassins before reaching the bridge along with the two generals: Jerrek and Dasadas, with the latter as the main boss. Kill the lone Yestai among the crowd to randomly obtain the glowing Shichisei sword or some barbecue. |

| 15000 points | ||
| In a single player game, you have 30 seconds to destroy wooden statues of Akkila Orkhan that drop from the ceiling, worth 1000 points each. These statues walk off the screen if left for long, and you must destroy all 20 to gain you another 20000 points bonus for a Perfect. However, with 2 or 3 players, this training game becomes a last man standing battle. You must deplete the other players' vitality to win the game and earn the bonus score. | |
Round 7
BATTLE OF RED CLIFFS, Part 1
| |
|---|---|
| The battle of infiltration. Clear the docks from enemies in order to enter the cabin filled by ninjas and assassins. After clearing the port, you'll reach another fiery courtyard full of fat men and muscle men. Having the hammer or a sword will greatly help to debilitate enemies. Strike the left pillars to acquire a chest with the holy sword Excalibur. Once the room is cleared, the floor collapses revealing Akkila Orkhan. Before fleeing, he deploys Kublai Dakan to fight you with his ninja and assassin cohorts. Watch out for his daggers and shield bash! |
Round 8
BATTLE OF RED CLIFFS, Part 2
| |
|---|---|
| The round begins on an enemy-flanked bridge. Kill them all in order to access the courtyard. Assassins, fat men, spearmen and another 3 kunoichi stand guard. Defeat them to go inside the palace. Inside the corridor are spearmen, assassins and fatmen before reaching another huge arena with all 5 muscle men. Kill the Yestai to randomly win the Kai mace. After the floor collapses, 3 more kunoichi arrive with assassins and ninjas. The door leads to the boss battle with Kai'Bataar. Strike the wall to the right of the second pillar to obtain a chest with the Hiryu katana. |
| |
|---|---|
| The first area contains several food items for extra points, some hidden on the bottom ledge. At the second area, hit the log post on the left of the screen to procure the chest with the Kusanagi sword. Use it to completely breeze through the first half of the area filled with various soldiers and deadfalls. You'll lose the sword once you reach the ruined bridge where you'll face more musclemen. After defeating them, pick up the Iten on the shoreline and use it to obliterate the massive army of spearmen before facing Akkila Orkhan, only to be interrupted by Temujin Khan, presumed to be dead, along with 3 kunoichi. This hulking general has a menacing greatsword and a whip, along with a huge endurance, so fight well! |
| |
|---|---|
| After the fight with Temujin Khan and recovering your health, you are given 15 seconds to kill Akkila Orkhan. He has a short vitality gauge, but he is very elusive and frequenty drops bombs. Grabbing him along with throws and rising attacks are the best damaging moves against him. Depleting his life in time kills him for good, thus the heroes attain the good ending and Shang-Lo is freed. However, if you fail to kill him, Akkila Orkhan escapes, only to return later to subdue Shang-Lo and gives a bad ending. Either way, congratulations on beating the game! |
