His major feat, is when he held off Cao Cao's army at the battle of Chang Ban, so that Liu Bei, may escape: "At the sound of this thunderous voice, a terrible quaking fear seized upon Cao Cao, and he bade them take the umbrella away. Turning to his followers, he said, "Guan Yu had said that his brother Zhang Fei was the sort of man to go through an army of a hundred legions and take the head of its commander-in-chief, and do it easily. Now here is this terror in front of us and we must be careful." As he finished speaking, again that terrible voice was heard, 'I am Zhang Fei of Yan; who dares fight with me?'" Although depicted as a violent alcoholic, Zhang Fei was actually an extremely intelligent man, and showed great respect for his superiors, but the same cannot be said about his inferiors. He later became one of Shu's five tiger generals. __________________________________________________________________ Unlocking Zhang Fei __________________________________________________________________ Zhang Fei, along with 17 other officers, are there from the beginning. The Shu Starters are: Zhao Yun Guan Yu Ma Chao Huang Zhong Xing Cai Not a recommended starter, but he is quite strong. __________________________________________________________________ Zhang Fei's Weapons __________________________________________________________________ Starting Weapon - Bronze Pike - 5 power 2nd Weapon - Iron Pike - 11 power 3rd Weapon - Serpent Blade - 17 power 4th Weapon - Viper Blade - 39 power (Fill 16, Horse 16, Defense 15, Attack 19, Musou 17) How to Get 4th weapon: (Make Sure its on HARD or CHAOS Mode) (Battle of Chang Ban) Bring a STRONG bodyguard to this battle, and command them to Stay at the bridge. Now, successfully defend your bridge, don't let anyone across. Kill anyone who attempts to pass the bridge, just stay n' slay, your one stop shop for carnage and death, this is to help and keep Liu Bei Alive. After the advancements from the west stop, if you're feeling brave, you may advance on the gate above you, and destroy that. As Xiahou Dun and Wen Pin come, slay them. Once Cao Zhang's reinforcements have arrived, and you've defeated them (of course) go after Xiahou En, Yu Jin's sub-general. When the three generals are dead, the valuable item will appear right on the bridge that you defended. Now, just protect Liu Bei until he escapes, or Kill Cao Cao when he appears. __________________________________________________________________ Zhang Fei's Pros and Cons __________________________________________________________________ Pros: His C2 is quite strong, and his attack strength is excellent. His jump charge is a great crowd clearer, and he has good skills on a horse. His battles are all relatively easy, so there should be no real trouble fighting; the same goes for his 4th weapon. Cons: He is SLOW. That and his C4 and C5 are way too similar, other then that, he's good. __________________________________________________________________ Zhang Fei's Moves __________________________________________________________________ Charge: Stamps the ground, knocking enemies down. It does not do good damage at all, but it is useful for making escapes, and getting ready to nail the enemy. Jumping Charge: jumps, flips, and then falls down, stabbing the ground with spear and creating a huge explosion. S: slashes right. S2: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear. S3: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear, then slashes right again. S4: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear, slashes right again, and then slashes left with the blade. S5: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear, slashes right again, slashes left with the blade, and then slashes right with blade once more. S6: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear, slashes right again, slashes left with the blade, slashes right with blade once more, and then spins and stabs forward with blade. (Evolution attack now triggered, if acquired.) C1: Slashes right, then attacks upwards in an uppercut fashion. C2: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear, then slashes in an X pattern repeatedly, finishing by slamming butt of the spear on the ground, emitting a blue energy wave. Attack is longer if you keep pressing triangle. C3: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear, slashes right again, and then does a 360-spin attack. C4: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear, slashes right again, slashes left with the blade, and then jumps and slams ground, making an explosion. C5: Slashes right, then attacks left with butt of the spear, slashes right again, slashes left with the blade, slashes right with blade once more, and then stamps ground, making an explosion. Musou: slashes in an x pattern continuously, finishing by jumping, spinning and slashing forward. True Musou: slashes in an x pattern continuously, finishing by jumping, spinning and slashing forward, then stamping the ground as the enemies fall to the ground, creating an explosion. __________________________________________________________________ Zhang Fei's Best Items __________________________________________________________________ Orb - Ice Harness - Red Hare Item 1. -Tiger Amulet Item 2. -Peacock Amulet Item 3. -Horned Helm Item 4. -Way of Musou Item 5. -Demon Band Why? - Ice Orb - Because freezing people is fun, and it helps finish them off before they can finish you off. Red Hare - Because he's the fastest horse in the game, Duh. I like him the best, so I don't use any other animal. Tiger Amulet - Because it adds strength to your officer, and I think all officers should have this equipped. Peacock Amulet - Because it adds health to your officer, and I think all officers should have this equipped. Horned Helm - Zhang Fei is SLOW. So, he tends to be on his horse a lot, so this helps with that extra attack strength you need, while charging through enemy lines. Way of Musou - His True Musou is 10x better then his normal Musou, so its useful. Demon Band - Makes his true Musou longer, so read above... This helps. __________________________________________________________________ Zhang Fei's Musou __________________________________________________________________ Battle of Hu Lao Gate - Red Hare is a big help here. Charge forward, only killing a couple of that huge group there, and head up to Xu Rong, kill him and take the gate which he's by. From there on, take the attack base, killing anyone in your way, and head to the supply base. Head to Hu Lao Gate, killing Hu Zhen, when you see him. Take out the gate that you pass when you first come into the opening, and clear out a ton of units, including officers: Guo Si, Zhao Cen, Li Jue, Wang Fang, Li Meng and Gao Shun when he come out. DO NOT KILL THE GATE CAPTAIN BY HU LAO GATE! LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT. Go clear the gate on the other side of the clearing, where Li Jue is, which can give you quite a bit of kills. When Lu Bu finally is unleashed, if you're feeling a little brave, charge him. Wait for the cut scene, and flee, go help Cao Cao defeat Li Ru, and let your brothers take care of Lu Bu for a while. When you come back, he should have a sizable portion of his health taken out. Help them take him on, till your close to death, then just don't risk it, take off. Be warned, STAY AWAY FROM HIM WHEN HE GLOWS RED OR GOLD, HE WILL KILL YOU IF HE ATTACKS, EVEN FROM JUST ONE!!!! If you didn't kill him, head up through Zhang Liao, kill him, listen to the little conversation, and head for Dong Zhuo. Watch it, he will call for help from Lu Bu, so eliminate him fast. Battle of Xia Pi - go forward, and attack the Defense, base, then the attack base above that (make sure you don't keep your bodyguard around the attack base, or they'll eventually die, in fact, I suggest that you command your bodyguard to stay before you go down the flight of stairs). By the attack base is Yin Li, so kill him too. Now, head back up the stairs, and kill off Wei Xu, and head into the castle, closing the gate and killing Diao Chan. Now, as you'll notice, those damn doors won't open. Damn, so head around the castle, over to the defense base that Cao Hong is struggling to defeat, and destroy all those pesky bases in that area, including Song Xian and Hou Cheng, who are to the left of the defense base. Now, head north, and kill Zang Ba, and the gate up by him. Next, head east, and kill Cao Xing then Zhang Liao, along with the supply base. Next, head to Gao Shun, and along with his defeat, is the collapse of the dam. Now, just head into the castle, slay the soldiers, and kill (or capture) Lu Bu. P.S: If you fail to take the dam in time, and Yuan Shu's reinforcements show up, don't worry, they're in the southeast corner, just go and kill him. Battle of Chang Ban - Here is the stuff of Zhang Fei's legends. You start off on a very historical bridge, the one whose toll for passage, is death. Kill anyone who attempts to pass the bridge, just stay n' slay, your one stop shop for carnage and death. After the advancements from the west stop, if you're feeling brave, you may advance on the gate above you, and destroy that. Next, move westward, and kill the attack base, WHILE BEING CAUTIOUS, DO NOT LET ANY TROOPS PAST THAT BRIDGE!!! Watch out, Cao Zhang arrives with reinforcements, right above the bridges position. When that area is safe from invasion, head farther west, and take out the gate and Yu Jin, finishing off with the left-most gate. Now, the north should be safe for a while, so head south, to Xu Huang's unit and the supply base, to defeat them. Head farther south to the defense and attack bases, and destroy them, along with Cao Hong and Jia Xu (sub-generals: Jia Kui and Yue Jin are there as well). Now, you have two choices: -A.) Help Liu Bei escape, in which case, just kill till he reaches the end, Or-B.) Go up and kill Cao Cao, ending the battle right there. Battle of Cheng Du - Start off and charge the gate ahead of you, kill Lei Tong to open it. Once inside, kill Fei Guan and Deng Xian, and finally Liu Xun. To the north of the castle is the gate captain, open the castle's northern gates. Now, move out of the left castle gate, to Li Yan, kill him and the soldiers in that little area, and then move into Cheng Du castle. Once Cheng Du is cleared out, head north, and kill Zhang Ren, if Pang Tong hasn't already died, you just saved him. Now, go in front of Cheng Du, to clear out Yan Yan and Wu Lan. Eventually, the inner gates of Cheng Du Castle will open, go inside, clear the gate in there, and finally defeat Liu Zhang. Ends with a cut scene. Battle of Fan Castle - This Battle can be Quite Difficult. Begins with a cut scene. Start off by charging forward, and taking out the defense base, continue heading forward and take out the supply base, defeating the gate captain and Sun Li on the way. Now, head forward more, and kill Jiang Ji, and the gate ahead even more, there is another one just below Jiang Ji's position, so destroy that too. Head north, and destroy the two supply bases that are in succession, and head left, destroying that final one. If the last two defense bases are still standing, take them out as well. Now, go kill Yu Jin and finally, Pang De (and with his death, you may now enter Fan Castle). Xu Huang will eventually show up, so slay him as well. Lu Meng (along with Xu Sheng) will show up when you meet up with Cao Ren, so now Kill Cao Ren (sub- generals: Yue Jin and Niu Jin). If you wish, you may ignore Cao Ren, so that you may head for Lu Meng (Sub-generals: Lu Xun and Jiang Qin). __________________________________________________________________ Zhang Fei's Costumes __________________________________________________________________ 1 - Black helmet with a cloth coming out of the top.
