Did u know there is a secret demon wizard character at the battle of cheng du and the only way to unlock it is to play as pang tong in the forest and do something in there
I honestly still believe part 3 was the best one. Didn't have to babysit all your allies (army getting beat by one private). Had bodyguards which was amazing. Cutscenes with whatever character you chose. Characters didn't look as if they came out of a Manga K-pop group
Also they weren't OP in hard mode on the later levels as they got wiped out easily compared to DW2 when your bodyguards even on hard mode were crazy OP.
The only thing that makes it really hard for me to go back to is the fact you cannot change direction while in your combo. Whatever direction you attack you must stay in. There are lots of things I love about 3 but I think 5 did it a bit better.
Even though I know it's not I still say cow cow. I mean it's not as far fetched as it sounds with some cities over in asia like Macau for example sounds like ma cow. That's how I always thought until watching the rotk shows lol
with DW3 being my first musou game and being a huge Three Kingdoms fan in general, this was a really nostalgic treat and just good video all around.. I loved it

I remember how there's a CG cutscene where an arrow gets shot at Sima Yi. It grazes his face and blood starts flowing from it. As far as I know, it's likely the only instance where blood is actually seen in a Dynasty Warriors game. Then again, I haven't played 4 through 6 much, so I could be wrong.
big shoutout to koei's VA cast from dw3. may not have been star studded or even necessarily the most talented but my god did they get into it. the lu bu hidden lines brought a huge grin to my face. awesome video 👍
They had some talent actually, Zhang Jiao, one of the most absurd voices is actually done by the same man who did psycho mantis in the English version of mgs1 which is well remembered. foreign directors is a classic pitfall for example: Troll 2. The awkward pausing and word choice is extremely similar to that film which is also regarded as being bad to the point of being hilarious.

My favorite DW game back then, a big part of my Childhood. Gameplaywise I think it was the best one, better than the newer titles for sure. Seeing people still making videos like these makes me glad it's not yet forgotten.
I agree I feel the new ones are too easy imo and are a bit more follow this character and do this rather than just letting you fight the battle how you want while enemies are tough and can kill you. I also much prefer the character designs being more realistic and less over the top which I'm not saying I just prefer the older style.
I prefer the newer ones to be honest. Designs are far better, and the over the top style is just astoundingly good. The old ones only had nostalgia going for them.
I love this game so much, really makes me feel nostalgic and realize how much I miss my childhood. I also appreciate how grounded the games were back then too, they felt like actual battles you were thrown into. The current games have way too much magic and the kill count after every battle is always in the thousands. Takes a lot of the realism out of it. That and the overpowered musous that just became way too gaudy. I remember being lucky to finish a match with 200 kills during DW3 and 4 era. It just gave it a gritty vibe.
That's what i say. The recent games are to flashy for no reason i believe with explosive colors. You csn kill over 1000 peans in over 3 min. Dw4 still my favorite to this day
There's actually a reason why playable officers show up in Musou Mode stages that take place after they died. The game keeps track of which Musou Modes you've already cleared. Clearing someone's Musou Mode causes them to show up in stages that take place after they would've died, but only in Musou Mode; the Free Mode version of any given stage is unaffected.

Your Dynasty Warriors 3 content is top notch! I still play this game from time to time. I’ve beaten every characters musou mode and obtained everyone’s fourth weapon, and am still trying to get the fifth weapons, and I still learned a bunch from this video! Who knew you could move and shoot arrows at the same time!
@@theawsomenesdestroyer Hi! I don't have that specific version but I did buy the original Dynasty Warriors 6 and sadly I think it's my least favourite Dynasty Warriors game ever. The move sets are completely different and much more simplified which leads to quite boring gameplay.

@Fundamentally Unorthodox you know looking back at this comment, I haven't even played DW9 because I saw some gameplay footages of it and it had english dub in it. It was horrendous. That was kind of a turn-off for me as I grew up with the good voice actors that were present in DW5-8XL. I wouldn't even mind with the things that you mentioned here but with how horrible the casts were, it's a rare no from me.
The one thing I remember about DW3 is never let your body guards defeat a general/pc, so I'd put them on defence stance while facing one, as that way you can hit them with a decent combo to get the highest attack/defence/life/musou. Also I remember to stay away from Lu Bu!, however it is possible to defeat him, using true musou, but have to be quick as its intense because until got true musou item, the only way to use it is when health critical, then at risk of being killed by Lu Bu!
Really interesting video! I'm a big fan of anything romance of the three kingdoms related and dynasty warriors in particular. Was expecting to know quite a few but nearly all of your facts were completely new to me! I also really like that the title wasnt hyperbolic, which nowadays on youtube is incredibly rare. Nice video and you have a new subscriber :)
There's actually a third Musou Mode only stage, besides the Pirate Raid and the Mountain Bandit Campaign: Raid on the Rogue Fortress. It's in the Musou Mode for Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, and a few others, if memory serves.
Dynasty Warriors 3 was the beginning of the love while 5 would mark its end. There is so much this game got that is frankly underappreicated. I even found some of these glitches or secrets
Pretty sure characters appearing in anachronistic battles was them replacing officers when completing their Musou Modes. Guan Yu and Pang Tong replaced Ma Chou and Huang Zhong at Yiling respectively, for example. It was like that for a lot of characters and I don’t think there was a way to switch it back without a new save.

I recently found Shi Huan in DW2 when modding, he has a private model there too. Catapult Chief is also another from DW2, he appears at Guan Du if Cao Cao's castle is besieged by catapults instead of the archers.
Hi - thanks for the comment. (I got your Discord message too. :) ). You know what - I remember seeing Catapult Chief on Guan Du when I was younger! However, I only ever saw it once, and could never replicate it, so I assumed I had dreamt it. It's great to know that he exists after all. Do you know to get the castle to be besieged by the catapults instead of the archers?
My fave thing about.dw 3 is that every normal cutscene has variations and dialogue for every character thanks to free mode. This can lead to characters foiling their own plans, taunting themselves, fourth wall shenanigans, and some amazing dialouge. Lubu : THIS IS STUPID. You... Go report!
13:30 I believe this is actually a feature. It's been yeaaaars since I've played DW3 but I remember clearing a character's musuo mode would 'extend' their lifespans in future musuo runs, allowing them to appear in later battles as NPCs.
As a big fan of the Warriors/Musou-franchise, I have enjoyed this a lot! And there were a things I didn't know yet! Hopefully there will be a follow-up to this video that will focus on a different game in the franchise. 🙂
I made a comment a year+ ago on a different video, but there was something unique about the older games that doesn't seem to be present in the newer games, but it's something that I enjoyed about DW3 that I could also do in 1 specific situation in DW5, and that is ai following you. In DW3, if you play as a character that is supposed to be on the map (example: Hu Lao gate as Lu Bu, etc.), then 1 or 2 squads of ai will follow you around. They will fight enemies if they aggro to them and will follow you afterwards. But what is REALLY cool is that with some characters, you can actually have an officer follow you around. I remember vividly as Sun Quan on one of the last campaign missions one of your officers will follow you. This doesn't always happen though with officers, but there is at least 1 grunt squad that will follow you if they can. In DW5, I found only 1 scenario where the ai would follow me and that was with Diao Chan as Lu bu at Hu Lao gate. I remember having to do something specific like stay in the room where you spawn, beat the officers, and I think move to where Diao Chan is or something. I know this cause I did it multiple times cause it was awesome. Especially since not only Diao Chan follows you around, but a LARGE squad follows you and her around as well. Like 20 or 30 units follow you around anywhere. No other character replicates this. Edit: Found the comment, it's on a video made by Blizzanity on the campaign of the Yellow Turban Rebellion as Xiahou Dun.
After DW5 the series went downhill imo. I loved just playing the characters i like and playing through their story instead of the regional story lines in the new entries. I loved the rank system and the stat grinding. getting the best weapons in game with the weird challenges to unlock them. Having fun side content and stories in the xtrme legends games that gave the characters some depth.Making your own character. Having ingame cutscenes for example if you co-op xingcai story and your player 2 picks guanping after he died in the story. You get a cutscene where they meet and have a reunion moment. All those nice things gone in all the next entries. The intro editor where i spend hours just messing around with all the different variations. So much the series lost just to make more characters. I would liike to have DW7 combat with all the gamemodes and systems and love DW5 got and it would be great. And i liked that your kill count had more meaning in the older games.
@@kobarariatna6129 I've been into the series since 3 and anyone who thinks that 3-5 is "better" than 8 is quite frankly, wrong. 3-5 is different and still very enjoyable but ignoring the sheer amount of content in 8 as well as the much, MUCH better combat is willful ignorance. I like the grind of 4 and I LOVE 5 empires, but the story of 7 and combat of 8 is objectively better than the older games. People simply have issues with nostalgia and preference so they're unable to enjoy changes when they're arguably necessary.
@@JelloFluoride DW8 is so easy even on hard compared to DW 3. Personally have more fun with DW3 as it actually provides a challenge. Really dont understand the appeal to that anime crap combat with attack reach affecting half the screen every 3 seconds, feels mindless
I truly missed the classic dynasty warriors game. I wonder if they would ever go back to the simple and basic of it. I also miss gan nings old musou where he runs with his swords. With 60 sec imperial seal in dw4 lol it was quite fun running all over the place aha
It is good to see some love to Dynasty warriors 3. Such a classic game and I always enjoy playing. Perhaps the only annoying thing of this game is the very hard mode on the XL version, which is exceedingly annoying
My first game I ever played on the PlayStation 2. Actually became my favorite game of all time. I've spent so much time on this game my entire life, it's kind of become a part of my personality.
This was my favorite of the series. I hope they go back to their roots someday. The new DW games are a little to flashy and chaotic for my taste. I know this game is button-mashing hack&slash, but I'd rather have more smooth & strategic fighting gameplay. ( △=Break Guard ... ◻,△=Airborne Opponent ... ◻,◻,△=Stun Opponent ... ◻,◻,◻,△=aoe damage ... etc )
In DW3 XL there was an item “can’t remember name” that if equipped gave you the axe 🪓 double damage effect each time you were knocked down to the ground (at expense of lower defense) - When I played this glorious fun game back then I found that if you got knocked down which activates the item when your character stands up, quickly save and exit the game. When you reload the level you will have permanent double damage (and lower defense) for the rest of the level. This was particularly deadly when playing as Gan Ning 😈
This is some top-notch information! I never knew about the Limit Break Items, what a cool idea. I really like the idea of a combo system which encourages different move-variety, I wonder why they never tried to revisit that idea? A lot of DW3 is truly ahead of its time and the variable cutscenes was one of my favorite things about it, back in the day. I know it would require a massive amount of effort, but I would have loved to see more things like that. It also seems as if they were very careful with how they built their models so that they could easily use any officer for any event. It makes me wonder how difficult it would be to mod the game to make new characters, hmm...
The Dynasty Warriors games each character has unique skills has always been a favorite of mine i have almost all the games for ps1 and ps2 ps3 some of the games their sequel or prequel would have been nice like Crimson Sea 2 was for ps2 and the first one was on the box and koei always does A EPIC JOB!!!! your channel is AWESOME and WONDERFULLY
God, I remember those two unique endings. Both the mask and meat bun ending. I was only a child back then but it was such a wonderful time playing every character for their unique ending. I also remember doing the Sun Qian unlock without realizing that was how you do it. I just followed the scenario through and through.
I remember finding out about this game through your old videos but never gave a thought until years later. Unfortunately I know nothing about this game so I can't say anything aside from the rather... Interesting VA....lol.
The catapult chief is from dynasty warriors 2..battle of guan du yuan shaos forces.. If yuans Armee reaches Cao caos castle the fire with catapults in it you can stop that by killing the chief who is guarding the catapults.. He even drops a attack+2..its really unique in dw2.. Maybe it is some leftover from dw2
This was a pleasant surprise. I've never come upon your channel before, not much into racing. I hope to see your name and more dynasty warriors stuff later on.
I knew some of these through both schoolyard talk and online guides. But there's a lot here that I missed and I played this game to death. What a blast from the past!
18:53 "There's an old adage that states, 'if a banner breaks in a strong wind, then the enemy is plotting an ambush'" Is there a link to more about this? A particular scene in a particular anime has this exact thing happen. I thought it was just representing the tension reaching a breaking point.
Dynasty Warriors 3 was the best one in the series, Was so fun on VS mode against your friends and your guards were badass in this game when you lvl them to maxed. And was a challenge going for xtreme legends hardest difficulty 5th weapons.
I got a couple mods on DW3, one of which allows me to pass through the gates where troops spawn, and you can roam outside the map. I’ve been finding out a number of interesting things! On Chang Ban, there is a mysterious box on the very corner of the map near Liu Bei’s navy, which contains nothing. Also, for some reason his navy has collision? Though the sails and supplies on the boat do not.
This is so cool! I have loved dynasty warriors for ever and ,3 is definitely my favourite I wanted to play as the NPC for so long 😂 I don't think the cheat codes would work back on PS2 in the day ,
When The Dynasty Warriors NPC Is Dependable Back Then, It's Hard To Rush Without Ally Army. Dynasty Warriors 2-4 NPC Like Officers Or Even Peon Is Fighting Each Other (Well DW4 NPC Much Easier Compare To DW2)
Nice video! You seem quite knowledgeable on this game, could I ask you a question? I'm trying to 100% 3 before moving onto 3xl. Online people say that combos effect items as you said, but that's only for 3xl and not for the base game, right? In regular 3 the only way to get best results is of course difficulty, a max seven star orb, and Diao Chan's 4th weapon, correct?
If you havent alredy, I'd just conplete DW3 through DW3 XL. You can customise your bodygaurds stats to make them far more durable and although you keeo your officer stats, they all go nack down to 0 XP amd the lowest level. Its much more fun to play the game with better bodyguards that you can name, equip items and weapons too imo
@@kss7178 Haha, I already got max items now, I'm a grinder for sure. I personally prefer to always 100% the base game before moving onto it's expansion version(s). I know about the new bodyguard system in 3xl, reset points, and break limit items. I personally don't see the point reset as that big of a deal, easily reobtainable. Thanks though, I just always didn't find it right to just skip to the xl or ultimate version.
Damn good effort haha, youve got far more dedication than i had! I jumped into the XL at about 50% and never went back to the base game. It's been a while but I'm defo 90%+ complete on XL
@@kss7178 Definitely complete it dude, one of the most unique and most rewarding imo. Like there's two special costumes. One for Lu Bu, and one for SSX after 100% XL. Both Dynasty Tactics 2 outfits, I believe. There's a really good channel DjMo12 that has a series called Let's perfect Dynasty Warriors 3. A good series to skim for anything you're not completely sure on or having a hard time with. Definitely old school youtube commentary, but still informative. I feel it's good to watch other people getting 5th weapons especially before doing it myself.
@@Ninj7 I'll need to get back to the graft and get it finished off. Fantastic game. Djs videos are great. I remember looking up Sima Yis 4th weapon to see how he got on as I found it to be such a struggle! Xu Zhu too. I defo have Lu Bus Tactics outfit, unsure if i ever got the SSX one though. If I ever make it to 100% ill let you know haha
Before I knew it I was at the end already. I really enjoyed the video and wallowing in some nostalgia for a game I admit have wat too many hours on when I was young.
Thanks for making this video. Two things I'll add: 1. At the Battle At Guan Du on Cao Cao's side, you can tell which of the four compounds is the supply depot without ever having to guess. What you do is, go up to the wooden bars of each compound and peer through them. What you're looking for is these tall brown silos with cone-shaped roofs. If you don't see these, it's not the supply depot. see these, defeat the officer outside, the gate will open and you'll have found the supply depot. It works every single time. The silos are what your character sees in the "Go Tell Cao Cao" cutscene immediately afterward. 2. Also at the Battle At Guan Du, once you burn Yuan Shao's supply depot, wander around the depot after it's been burned and you'll eventually find some areas where the lighting changes and looks pale and strange. When you come to this pale strange light, go into Archer Mode and look up at the moon. You will see four moons touching eachother in a square/rhombus shape and it will rotate as you pan with the D-Pad. DISCLAIMER: This doesn't happen every time you play the level. I think for this to work, the supply depot has to be one of the two northern compounds, either the one guarded by Ju Shou or the one guarded by Yuan Xi and Xun Chen. I've had 2 different copies of DW3, both for the PS2, and this occurred on both of my copies, but I'm not sure about the XBOX version. Xtreme Legends version or other versions, so I cannot guarantee 100% that you'll encounter this glitch.
Dw2 Version of that Battle is Way Harder and Cao Cao can be Defeated even if you have burned down the Supply depot. When I saw I straight up said' We had High Morale how did we Lose?
If you defeat Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors 7, you actually get a trophy called "Ok, you can pursue Lu Bu". Speaking of which, I actually made a string trio song on my channel called Do Not Pursue combining Lu Bu's theme and the Hu Lao Gate themes. Check it out if you like both songs.

man been playing this game since it first came out and I thought I knew everything. Cool to learn things I never knew about my favourite ps2 game.
Wow! Now there is a name I haven't seen in a long time! Welcome back buddy!
Honestly seems like DW3 is the only game where everyone involved in making this game had fun making it.
Wish 9 had details and unique events like this, they better step up for 10
fuck this was amazing, i loved DW3 so this was a blast to hear about stuff i already knew, and stuff i had NO IDEA about.
Thanks!
The ending have a sad vibe when u finish everything
Really interesting video! I'm a big fan of anything romance of the three kingdoms related and dynasty warriors in particular. Was expecting to know quite a few but nearly all of your facts were completely new to me!
I also really like that the title wasnt hyperbolic, which nowadays on youtube is incredibly rare. Nice video and you have a new subscriber :)

This is actually such a Sima Yi thing to do... LOL!
And I gotta try to see that Chi Bi (Red Cliff) thing today!
The way Guan Yu turns his head as if he's going "tha fuck?"
The only thing I remember of Dynasty Warriors 3 is the ending song Circuit.
It reappears as the end credits music of 8 if you manage to go down and beat the alternate path for each faction. True story.
There's actually a third Musou Mode only stage, besides the Pirate Raid and the Mountain Bandit Campaign: Raid on the Rogue Fortress. It's in the Musou Mode for Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, and a few others, if memory serves.
That's a free to play stage in Dw3 Xl
Dynasty Warriors 3 was the beginning of the love while 5 would mark its end. There is so much this game got that is frankly underappreicated. I even found some of these glitches or secrets
Pretty sure characters appearing in anachronistic battles was them replacing officers when completing their Musou Modes.
Guan Yu and Pang Tong replaced Ma Chou and Huang Zhong at Yiling respectively, for example. It was like that for a lot of characters and I don’t think there was a way to switch it back without a new save.
I remember this! And Zhou you for gan Ning, I kinda regretted it with some characters but it was a cool feature
Even the npcs were cool looking in the older games
my first and favorite DW game of all of time!
All I know is that....

I recently found Shi Huan in DW2 when modding, he has a private model there too. Catapult Chief is also another from DW2, he appears at Guan Du if Cao Cao's castle is besieged by catapults instead of the archers.
Hi - thanks for the comment. (I got your Discord message too. :) ). You know what - I remember seeing Catapult Chief on Guan Du when I was younger! However, I only ever saw it once, and could never replicate it, so I assumed I had dreamt it. It's great to know that he exists after all.
Do you know to get the castle to be besieged by the catapults instead of the archers?
@@MattJ155 I have tested it fairly extensively, it's completely random, best I can tell. Morale may alter the chance, but that's about it.
My fave thing about.dw 3 is that every normal cutscene has variations and dialogue for every character thanks to free mode.
This can lead to characters foiling their own plans, taunting themselves, fourth wall shenanigans, and some amazing dialouge.
Lubu : THIS IS STUPID. You... Go report!
13:30 I believe this is actually a feature. It's been yeaaaars since I've played DW3 but I remember clearing a character's musuo mode would 'extend' their lifespans in future musuo runs, allowing them to appear in later battles as NPCs.
As a big fan of the Warriors/Musou-franchise, I have enjoyed this a lot! And there were a things I didn't know yet! Hopefully there will be a follow-up to this video that will focus on a different game in the franchise. 🙂
Thank you for making this video, it brought ack so many memories. DW3 was my all time favorite game
I made a comment a year+ ago on a different video, but there was something unique about the older games that doesn't seem to be present in the newer games, but it's something that I enjoyed about DW3 that I could also do in 1 specific situation in DW5, and that is ai following you. In DW3, if you play as a character that is supposed to be on the map (example: Hu Lao gate as Lu Bu, etc.), then 1 or 2 squads of ai will follow you around. They will fight enemies if they aggro to them and will follow you afterwards. But what is REALLY cool is that with some characters, you can actually have an officer follow you around. I remember vividly as Sun Quan on one of the last campaign missions one of your officers will follow you. This doesn't always happen though with officers, but there is at least 1 grunt squad that will follow you if they can.
In DW5, I found only 1 scenario where the ai would follow me and that was with Diao Chan as Lu bu at Hu Lao gate. I remember having to do something specific like stay in the room where you spawn, beat the officers, and I think move to where Diao Chan is or something. I know this cause I did it multiple times cause it was awesome. Especially since not only Diao Chan follows you around, but a LARGE squad follows you and her around as well. Like 20 or 30 units follow you around anywhere. No other character replicates this.
Edit: Found the comment, it's on a video made by Blizzanity on the campaign of the Yellow Turban Rebellion as Xiahou Dun.
Back then, playing it in hard mode was a pain in the ass. The achers and the soldiers alone could easily kill you. It felt like a true battle field.
After DW5 the series went downhill imo. I loved just playing the characters i like and playing through their story instead of the regional story lines in the new entries. I loved the rank system and the stat grinding. getting the best weapons in game with the weird challenges to unlock them. Having fun side content and stories in the xtrme legends games that gave the characters some depth.Making your own character. Having ingame cutscenes for example if you co-op xingcai story and your player 2 picks guanping after he died in the story. You get a cutscene where they meet and have a reunion moment. All those nice things gone in all the next entries. The intro editor where i spend hours just messing around with all the different variations. So much the series lost just to make more characters. I would liike to have DW7 combat with all the gamemodes and systems and love DW5 got and it would be great. And i liked that your kill count had more meaning in the older games.
agree but it rises again when dw8 is out,imo dw8 still the peak of a good dw gameplay
@@kobarariatna6129 I've been into the series since 3 and anyone who thinks that 3-5 is "better" than 8 is quite frankly, wrong. 3-5 is different and still very enjoyable but ignoring the sheer amount of content in 8 as well as the much, MUCH better combat is willful ignorance. I like the grind of 4 and I LOVE 5 empires, but the story of 7 and combat of 8 is objectively better than the older games. People simply have issues with nostalgia and preference so they're unable to enjoy changes when they're arguably necessary.
@@JelloFluoride DW8 is so easy even on hard compared to DW 3. Personally have more fun with DW3 as it actually provides a challenge. Really dont understand the appeal to that anime crap combat with attack reach affecting half the screen every 3 seconds, feels mindless
Another unique cutscene happens on Fan Castle. Play as Xu Huang, and when you approach Guan Yu they have a conversation before the fight.
Even if u play with Guan Yu
Still easily my favorite DW game
I truly missed the classic dynasty warriors game. I wonder if they would ever go back to the simple and basic of it. I also miss gan nings old musou where he runs with his swords. With 60 sec imperial seal in dw4 lol it was quite fun running all over the place aha
It is good to see some love to Dynasty warriors 3. Such a classic game and I always enjoy playing.
Perhaps the only annoying thing of this game is the very hard mode on the XL version, which is exceedingly annoying
It's an 8 hit combo that doubles the stat item dropped from an officer or gate captain. Playing DW3 now. Lot's of good stuff in this video. Good job.
That special ending made my life better.
I actually did not know about a fair few of these, and I spent my childhood playing this game! Nicely done
This is amazing, will you do this for any other warriors game? Or is DW3 just packed with better trivia then most other games?
My first game I ever played on the PlayStation 2. Actually became my favorite game of all time. I've spent so much time on this game my entire life, it's kind of become a part of my personality.
This was my favorite of the series. I hope they go back to their roots someday. The new DW games are a little to flashy and chaotic for my taste. I know this game is button-mashing hack&slash, but I'd rather have more smooth & strategic fighting gameplay.
( △=Break Guard ... ◻,△=Airborne Opponent ... ◻,◻,△=Stun Opponent ... ◻,◻,◻,△=aoe damage ... etc )
This was my first DW, been a huge fan since!
In DW3 XL there was an item “can’t remember name” that if equipped gave you the axe 🪓 double damage effect each time you were knocked down to the ground (at expense of lower defense) - When I played this glorious fun game back then I found that if you got knocked down which activates the item when your character stands up, quickly save and exit the game. When you reload the level you will have permanent double damage (and lower defense) for the rest of the level.
This was particularly deadly when playing as Gan Ning 😈
Cool find, I'll try it
Also Marching Drum as well
This is some top-notch information! I never knew about the Limit Break Items, what a cool idea. I really like the idea of a combo system which encourages different move-variety, I wonder why they never tried to revisit that idea?
A lot of DW3 is truly ahead of its time and the variable cutscenes was one of my favorite things about it, back in the day. I know it would require a massive amount of effort, but I would have loved to see more things like that. It also seems as if they were very careful with how they built their models so that they could easily use any officer for any event. It makes me wonder how difficult it would be to mod the game to make new characters, hmm...
The Dynasty Warriors games each character has unique skills has always been a favorite of mine i have almost all the games for ps1 and ps2 ps3 some of the games their sequel or prequel would have been nice like Crimson Sea 2 was for ps2 and the first one was on the box and koei always does A EPIC JOB!!!! your channel is AWESOME and WONDERFULLY
5:20 "It looks like the wind itself bows before the might of Lu Buuuuuu???"
God, I remember those two unique endings. Both the mask and meat bun ending. I was only a child back then but it was such a wonderful time playing every character for their unique ending.
I also remember doing the Sun Qian unlock without realizing that was how you do it. I just followed the scenario through and through.
I like how you just cut straight to the point, no bullshit at the beginning like there are in other videos.
They need to remaster this game
I remember finding out about this game through your old videos but never gave a thought until years later. Unfortunately I know nothing about this game so I can't say anything aside from the rather... Interesting VA....lol.
This is the dark souls of the DW I don't recommend playing it right away
Maybe play Dw4 , 5 ,7 or 8
The catapult chief is from dynasty warriors 2..battle of guan du yuan shaos forces.. If yuans Armee reaches Cao caos castle the fire with catapults in it you can stop that by killing the chief who is guarding the catapults.. He even drops a attack+2..its really unique in dw2.. Maybe it is some leftover from dw2
nostalgic, still the best DW i’ve played
Much respect for being able to cover all these small secrets here and there for an old DW game!~ 😄
This was a pleasant surprise. I've never come upon your channel before, not much into racing. I hope to see your name and more dynasty warriors stuff later on.
I knew some of these through both schoolyard talk and online guides. But there's a lot here that I missed and I played this game to death. What a blast from the past!
18:53 "There's an old adage that states, 'if a banner breaks in a strong wind, then the enemy is plotting an ambush'" Is there a link to more about this? A particular scene in a particular anime has this exact thing happen. I thought it was just representing the tension reaching a breaking point.
Good shit I love anything too wirh dynasty warriors so I appreciate u making this I have dw3 on ps2 still to this day
I'd love to see this done with the other games. Thanks so much for such a quality video!
Picked this game up from blockbuster and I have been a three kingdoms fan ever since.
What an amazing video! Would absolutely love to see some more of this kind!
I preferred when the generals were not ridiculously magical with attacks.
Man I miss this game
holy shit, ur that guy who uploaded DW3 funny cutscenes
Dynasty Warriors 3 was the best one in the series, Was so fun on VS mode against your friends and your guards were badass in this game when you lvl them to maxed. And was a challenge going for xtreme legends hardest difficulty 5th weapons.
Loved this game and still have my memory cards saves, blue an red memory cards 😅
4:56 lu bu being nice? Impossible
The best part is 16:49 never thought Lu Bu to appear in such way
I forgot how bad the English voice acting was. LOL. This video brought back many of my childhood memories with Dynasty warriors 3. Thank you!
I got a couple mods on DW3, one of which allows me to pass through the gates where troops spawn, and you can roam outside the map.
I’ve been finding out a number of interesting things! On Chang Ban, there is a mysterious box on the very corner of the map near Liu Bei’s navy, which contains nothing. Also, for some reason his navy has collision? Though the sails and supplies on the boat do not.
Lu Bu like 16:49 "The Fuck are you doing with my Wife Bruuuh?!"
Historically accurate. We all know what happens next. For better or worse, my man Dong went out doing what he loved. NTR and being a dick.
This vid was awesome. I’d love to see one about DW 4 & 5
Best dynasty warriors game I've ever played
This is so cool! I have loved dynasty warriors for ever and ,3 is definitely my favourite I wanted to play as the NPC for so long 😂 I don't think the cheat codes would work back on PS2 in the day ,
When The Dynasty Warriors NPC Is Dependable Back Then, It's Hard To Rush Without Ally Army.
Dynasty Warriors 2-4 NPC Like Officers Or Even Peon Is Fighting Each Other (Well DW4 NPC Much Easier Compare To DW2)
Nice video! You seem quite knowledgeable on this game, could I ask you a question? I'm trying to 100% 3 before moving onto 3xl. Online people say that combos effect items as you said, but that's only for 3xl and not for the base game, right? In regular 3 the only way to get best results is of course difficulty, a max seven star orb, and Diao Chan's 4th weapon, correct?
If you havent alredy, I'd just conplete DW3 through DW3 XL. You can customise your bodygaurds stats to make them far more durable and although you keeo your officer stats, they all go nack down to 0 XP amd the lowest level. Its much more fun to play the game with better bodyguards that you can name, equip items and weapons too imo
@@kss7178 Haha, I already got max items now, I'm a grinder for sure. I personally prefer to always 100% the base game before moving onto it's expansion version(s). I know about the new bodyguard system in 3xl, reset points, and break limit items. I personally don't see the point reset as that big of a deal, easily reobtainable. Thanks though, I just always didn't find it right to just skip to the xl or ultimate version.
Damn good effort haha, youve got far more dedication than i had! I jumped into the XL at about 50% and never went back to the base game. It's been a while but I'm defo 90%+ complete on XL
@@kss7178 Definitely complete it dude, one of the most unique and most rewarding imo. Like there's two special costumes. One for Lu Bu, and one for SSX after 100% XL. Both Dynasty Tactics 2 outfits, I believe. There's a really good channel DjMo12 that has a series called Let's perfect Dynasty Warriors 3. A good series to skim for anything you're not completely sure on or having a hard time with. Definitely old school youtube commentary, but still informative. I feel it's good to watch other people getting 5th weapons especially before doing it myself.
@@Ninj7 I'll need to get back to the graft and get it finished off. Fantastic game. Djs videos are great. I remember looking up Sima Yis 4th weapon to see how he got on as I found it to be such a struggle! Xu Zhu too. I defo have Lu Bus Tactics outfit, unsure if i ever got the SSX one though. If I ever make it to 100% ill let you know haha
Before I knew it I was at the end already. I really enjoyed the video and wallowing in some nostalgia for a game I admit have wat too many hours on when I was young.
Thanks for making this video. Two things I'll add:
1. At the Battle At Guan Du on Cao Cao's side, you can tell which of the four compounds is the supply depot without ever having to guess. What you do is, go up to the wooden bars of each compound and peer through them. What you're looking for is these tall brown silos with cone-shaped roofs. If you don't see these, it's not the supply depot. see these, defeat the officer outside, the gate will open and you'll have found the supply depot. It works every single time. The silos are what your character sees in the "Go Tell Cao Cao" cutscene immediately afterward.
2. Also at the Battle At Guan Du, once you burn Yuan Shao's supply depot, wander around the depot after it's been burned and you'll eventually find some areas where the lighting changes and looks pale and strange. When you come to this pale strange light, go into Archer Mode and look up at the moon. You will see four moons touching eachother in a square/rhombus shape and it will rotate as you pan with the D-Pad. DISCLAIMER: This doesn't happen every time you play the level. I think for this to work, the supply depot has to be one of the two northern compounds, either the one guarded by Ju Shou or the one guarded by Yuan Xi and Xun Chen. I've had 2 different copies of DW3, both for the PS2, and this occurred on both of my copies, but I'm not sure about the XBOX version. Xtreme Legends version or other versions, so I cannot guarantee 100% that you'll encounter this glitch.
Dw2 Version of that Battle is Way Harder and Cao Cao can be Defeated even if you have burned down the Supply depot. When I saw I straight up said' We had High Morale how did we Lose?
I miss this game so much
Also
"DONT PURSUE, LU BU"
If you defeat Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors 7, you actually get a trophy called "Ok, you can pursue Lu Bu". Speaking of which, I actually made a string trio song on my channel called Do Not Pursue combining Lu Bu's theme and the Hu Lao Gate themes. Check it out if you like both songs.
🙏🏽 really appreciate the video bro...please drop some more dynasty warrior videos bro
The voice acting in this game is Genius, it perfectly recreates the English dubbing of Chinese movies.
Hah you think its intentional?
@@MichaelMusou I think so, it sounds just like a dubbed movie.
That Amazoness pisses standing up.
DW3 was my favorite.
