Since my first post became too big in previous topic, I've decided to separate 4th and 5th weapons. Enjoy.

**Thanks to all members who have helped with the 5th weapons**

Things to remember before trying to obtain 5th weapons:

• You need to complete character's Story Mode at least once in any difficulty. Dream Stages are not necessary, however.
• They can only be obtained in Story Mode (with the exception of Okuni and Ranmaru).
• Difficulty must be set on Hard, Chaos or Expert.
• If you're using 2nd player, make sure that 1st player fulfills the requirements.
• In order to get 5th weapons for original SW2 characters in XL, SW2 disc is required.

Yukimura Sanada

Name: Tiger's Blood
Base Attack: +45
Element: Lightning
Stats: Musou +35, Attack +36, Defense +34, Ride +35

Stage: Defense of Ueda Castle
Requirements: Succeed in the mission 'Help to protect the flood attack' and defeat all 3 of the Hanzos within 3 minutes of them appearing.

LoW's tip: After the flood attack is succesful, head to Toishi Castle in the northwest. One of the Hanzo clones appear here. Defeat him and you can find the remaining two inside Ueda castle.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: Just follow the guy that does the flood attack around and protect him. If you don't he more than likely will not make it. Once Hanzo makes his clones, immediately go after them. Make good use of Yukimura's new charge attack, as it does a ton of damage.

Keiji Maeda

Name: Winged Serpent
Base Attack: +50
Element: Fire
Stats: Musou +40, Dexterity +32, Musou Charge +36, Range +35

Stage: Tournament of Champions (Dream)
Requirements: Keep Yukimura and Kanetsugu alive. Within 10 minutes defeat all playable characters. They are Hanzo, Kojiro, Musashi, Masamune, and Yoshihiro.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: Don't worry about Yukimura and Kanetsugu, they can take care of themselves. Just make sure to kill all generals quickly, and try not to linger and kill a bunch of peons.

Nobunaga Oda

Name: Muramasa
Base Attack: +46
Element: Demon
Stats: Musou +57 Musou Charge +39, Range +57

Stage: Incident at Honnoji
Requirements: Rescue Nobutada Oda by defeating the officers around him. Defeat 400 enemies. Special crate appears Northeast of Nijo Castle in an alley.

SnowMan's guide: The weapon achivement part is easy. It's keeping your allies alive that will be a pain. Head for Nobuharu Tsuda and defeat him. (I defeated 100 enemies at this point) Now, head for Nobutada Oda. Defeat the officers around Nobutada to complete the rescue mission. Then, head back to your start position (where Noh & Ranmaru are at) and defeat the rest of your required enemies. The weapon appears in the northwestern part of the map, in a mini-maze. But you're not finished. If all of your allies die, you lose and you have to do this over again. Chances are, the only officers left on the map are Nobutada, Noh, & Ranmaru. I recommend making Nobutada your #1 priority over the other officers since if you save him from danger he won't be doing any constant fighting like the other 2. So if you have the option to save him over the other 2, take it. You'll thank me when Ranmaru & Noh get defeated by Mitsuhide. Quickly defeat Mitsuhide, and the weapon is yours.

G.O.W.'s NOTE: Nobutada gets surrounded very quickly, so you may just want to take your horse and rush to his side after the enemy opens the gates to Nijo Castle. Keeping Ranmaru and Noh alive doesn't to seem to matter.

Mitsuhide Akechi

Name: Liberator
Base Attack: +45
Element: Wind
Stats: Attack +36, Speed +35, Dexterity +36, Range +37

Stage: Battle of Yamazaki
Requirements: Secure Mt. Tenno and kill Magoichi and Nene. Do this all within 5 minutes.

LoW's tip: Pause during the conversations to save some time.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: As soon as the stage starts go up the side of Mt. Tenno that only has the one general at the top. As soon as you kill Mitsunari head for Magoichi. DO NOT wait for the mission to kill him. Then immediately head for Nene. Afterwards you'll get the message.

Kenshin Uesugi

Name: Bishamonten's Fury
Base Atk: +46
Element: Demon
Stats: Life +54, Defense +52, Luck +35

Stage: Battle of Tetorigawa
Requirements: Defeat 300 enemies before opening the floodgates and wait for Nobunaga's arrival. Weapon appears in special crate just northeast of Oda main camp.

LoW's tip: Get a fast and strong horse to get KOs quickly. If Katsuie gets too close to your main camp Kenshin abandons the plan to open the floodgates and obtaining the weapon isn't possible anymore.

Oichi

Name: Golden Crail
Base Attack: +42
Element: Fire
Stats: Speed +39, Dexeterity +37, Musou Charge +35, Range +34

Stage: Siege of Odani
Requirements: Within 12 minutes succeed in the mission 'Escort the engineers to Mt Yamada Garrison', keep the engineers safe until Hideyoshi's plan is succesful and get 400 kills. Special crate appears by gate north of the Kingo Ward.

LoW's tip: Hideyoshi executes his plan after you defeat the Asakura troops in the northwest.

G.O.W.'s Note: There's a time limit. But as long as you at least have her 4th, you should get this between 9 & 10 minutes.

Okuni

Name: Heavenly Flower
Base Attack: +44
Element: Wind
Stats: Life +17, Defense +35, Speed +50, Luck +37

Stage: Survival Mode - Calling All Warriors
Requirements: Complete 'Calling All Warriors' on floor 76 or above. Defeat Okuni on the last floor to get the weapon.

Magoichi Saika

Name: Sengoku Sniper
Base Attack: +45
Element: Lightning
Stats: Musou +36, Defense +52, Musou Charge +54

Stage: Assault on the Saika
Requirements: Within 6 minutes succeed in the following missions as quickly as possible; 'Rescue Morishige Tsuchihashi', 'Rescue Yoshimasa Satake', 'Rescue Ujiyoshi Horinouchi', 'Rescue Magoroku Saika'. Special crate appears by gate south of the central garrison.

Shingen Takeda

Name: Furin Kazan
Base Attack: +48
Element: Fire
Stats: Life +56, Attack +55, Musou +18, Musou Charge +19

Stage: Conquest for Kyushu (Dream)
Requirements: Defeat Nene, Nagachika Kanamori, Yoshihiro (2nd time), Ranmaru, and Mitsuhide within 4 minutes of their appearance.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: DO NOT go into the garrison with Yoshihiro. So far, this is the only weapon where it is almost essential to have two players. Send them in and wait for Yoshihiro to show up. Nene and Kanamori will show up a while before him so just take of them when they appear. And Shimazu will call for Mitsuhide and Ranmaru. And make sure not to kill Yoshihisa, it will end the stage.

LoW's tip: After you have obtained the weapon, kill Yoshihisa quickly to end the stage.

Masamune Date

Name: Hell's Dragons
Base Attack: +44
Element: Ice
Stats: Attack +38, Defense +38, Luck +37, Range +34

Stage: Osaka Campaign
Requirements: Within 12 minutes, escort the cannon to the front gate and defeat Fake Hideyori inside Osaka Castle.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: You'll want to have Date relatively buffed for this stage because Yukimura is no joke. Also, having his 4th already wouldn't hurt. Other than that, do the missions as quickly as possible and bring a horse. Hideyori will try to make a run for and if he escapes, you lose.

No

Name: Blood Viper
Base Attack: +44
Element: Lightning
Stats: Attack +37, Speed +35, Dexterity +37, Range +37

Stage: Incident at Shizugatake
Requirements: Within 12 minutes succeed in the missions 'Make Tsunachika Kaiho recognize your beauty', 'Rescue Yoshinari Mori', 'Make Naotsune Endo recognize your beauty', 'Make Keijun Miyabe recognize your beauty', 'Make Kiyotsuna Akao recognize your beauty', 'Rescue Kazumasu Takigawa'. Defeat 200 enemies. Special crate appears in Oichi's garrison.

G.O.W.'s Note: You may want a 3rd weapon with a decent attack bonus to speed things along, +35 or more is ideal. Your officers can steal kills. To get the last mission, you must let Oichi approach Kazumasu and make the comment about Noh's makeup.

Hanzo Hattori

Name: Sudden Death
Base Attack: +44
Element: Ice
Stats: Attack +55, Life +38, Musou Charge +50

Stage: Battle of Nagashino
Requirements: Within 10 minutes succeed in the missions 'Defend Nagashino Castle', 'Defend the Maruyama Garrison', defeat Katsuyori Takeda, and get 200 kills.

LoW's tip: Katsuyori comes out of his garrisons after you have defeated Takeda Cavalry in the west side of the map.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: For starters, if you have Awakening level 3, take it off. It'll do you very little good here. As well, if you're using his 4th weapon, you might want to change the element or refrain from using charge attacks except for his C5. And make good use of his special skills. As well, you'll need to work fast as Hanzo isn't that great at clearing mobs.

Ranmaru Mori

Name: Prodigious Brand
Base Attack: +46
Element: Wind
Stats: Life +34, Speed +55, Dexterity +51

Stage: Survival Mode - Ranmaru's 2nd Request on floor 31
Requirements: Once Ranmaru appears on the last floor, defeat him within 3 minutes and he drops the weapon.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi

Name: Mighty Claw
Base Attack +44
Element: Wind
Stats: Musou +59, Dexterity +55, Range +38

Stage: Battle of Sekigahara (Dream)
Requirements: Within 15 minutes defeat Ginchiyo, Yoshihiro, Tadakatsu, Ina, Hanzo and Masamune

LoW's guide: When the stage starts, defeat Masanori Fukushima, Naomasa Ii, Takatora Todo and Kiyomasa Kato (arrives as reinforcements) from the center area. Ginchiyo and Yoshihiro should defect soon. First head to Ginchiyo's location and defeat her. Head towards Yoshihiro, defeat him and the other officers near him. Proceed north where Tadakatsu is and deal with him. Wait for Masamune to appear and defeat him as well. Finally, head to south where Ina and Hanzo are. Defeat those two and you get the valuable item report.

LoW's tip: Make sure you deal the finishing blow on each general. You have to start over if your ally or bodyguard kills one of the required officers. If you have Hideyoshi's 4th weapon and some Attack orbs, it might be wise to use them on his weapon because otherwise you'll have fast but extremely weak Hideyoshi.

Tadakatsu Honda

Name: Demon's Tongue
Base Attack: +50
Element: Demon
Stats: Attack +55, Life +38, Range +52

Stage: Battle of Sekigahara
Requirements: Within 10 minutes stop the enemy cannons from firing and kill 300.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: There really aren't any. Just make sure to kill off the cannons in time. It's easy to get wrapped up in totally raping the western army, especially with his new charge attack.

Ina

Name: Celestrial Archer
Base Attack: 44
Element: Fire
Stats: Life +51, Defense +45, Musou Charge +37

Stage: Battle of Kuzegawa
Requirements: Defeat Yoshihiro Shimazu & Ginchiyo Tachibana without losing any allied officers.

SnowMan's guide: Head straight for Tamehiro Hiratsuka & Yukinaga Konishi, and defeat them. Yoshihiro & Toyohisa Shimazu will appear after this; head straight for them and defeat them. Then, help your stranded allies in the center so they don't die. After a while, Ginchiyo will appear near the southeastern garrison. Head for her and defeat her. After you defeat her, you'll get the "Valuable Item Discovered" message. The weapon appears in the southeastern garrison, so you don't have to go far.

Ieyasu Tokugawa

Name: Earth Render
Base Atk: +48
Element: Lightning
Stats: Life +18, Ride +18, Musou +17, Dexterity +17, Attack +18, Luck +18, Defense +17, Musou Charge +17

Stage: Last Stand Against Ieyasu (Dream)
Requirements: Within 12 minutes succeed in the missions 'Seize the southeastern garrison', 'Seize the western garrison', defeat Keiji and Kanetsugu. Special crate appears in eastern Hachimanbara.

LoW's guide: Head to southeastern garrison when the stage starts. Defeat Kanetsugu and all other Uesugi officers there. Kagekatsu Uesugi starts his advance now. Head to center, defeat him and other officers as well. Since one of your allies is here and you can't afford to lose him, it's best to take out all enemy officers around him. Next target is the western garrison which is protected by Satake officers. Seize it and advance to north garrison where Keiji is. He's quite beefed up, so be careful when dealing with him. Once Keiji's finished, you get the valuable item report if you fulfilled the requirements within 12 minutes. You still have to take care of Yukimura and Masayuki Sanada, though, who appear in the south and head towards your main camp. KIll them and the weapon is yours.

Mitsunari Ishida

Name: Heaven's Bliss
Base Atk: +45
Element: Lightning
Stats: Musou +54, Speed +34, Luck +52

Stage: Battle of Komaki-Nagakute
Requirements: Within 8 minutes succeed in the missions 'Rescue the detached unit', 'Defeat Yasumasa Sakibara and seize control of Iwasaki Castle', defeat Ina, Takakatatsu, and Hanzo, defeat 150 enemies. Special crate appears by west gate.

LoW's tip: Head towards the detached unit immediately when the stage starts because they're not going to last long, no matter what.

Nagamasa Azai

Name: Oichi's Faith
Base Attack: +45
Element: Fire
Stats: Speed +39, Dexterity +37, Musou Charge +35, Range +34

Stage: Battle of Kanegasaki
Requirements: Escort Kazumasu Isono to the fire attack location within 8 minutes. Defeat 300 enemies. Special crate appears by west gate.

Sakon Shima

Name: Fiery Destruction
Base Attack: +46
Element: Ice
Stats: Attack +36, Life +34, Ride +37, Speed +38

Stage: Battle of Mikatagahara (Dream)
Requirements: Within 15 minutes defeat all playable characters. They are Hanzo, Mitsuhide, Katsuie, Tadakatsu, and Hideyoshi.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: You must complete the missions to get all of the playable characters to show up. Kill Ieyasu when he tries to run the first time. You'll waste your time if you go around trying to kill everyone on the stage while he runs away. And definitely use Sakon's new charge against Tadakatsu. Even with his 4th weapon, Honda can still be a major pain in the butt.

Yoshihiro Shimazu

Name: Incinerator
Base Attack: +48
Element: Fire
Stats: Life +58, Musou +52, Range +35

Stage: Conquest for Kyushu
Requirements: Within 7 minutes succeed in the the missions 'Defeat Nobuchika Chosokabe', 'Defeat Hidehisa Sengoku', 'Defeat Ekei Ankokuji','Defeat Ginchiyo Tachibana' and get 300 KOs.

LoW's tip: Time limit is short so it might be useful to press pause during conversations. Just complete the required missions, get the KOs and ignore everything else.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: This should be no problem for Yoshihiro. Just make sure to pull back when it tells you or you won't get the weapon. And make good use of his level 3 musou attack. It is much more useful against peons and generals alike.

Ginchiyo Tachibana

Name: Raging Tempest
Base Attack: +44
Element: Wind
Stats: Speed +38, Dexterity +54, Range +34

Stage: Pursuit of Yoshihiro
Requirements: Within 5 minutes succeed in the mission 'Stop the cannons'. Defeat 300 enemies (no time limit). Appears in special crate by Mt. Tenno's Eastern cannon.

LoW's tip: Pause during the conversations. Head for the cannons immediately when the stage starts, defeat the officers guarding them and ride around the battlefield to get the KOs.

Kanetsugu Naoe

Name: Truth and Honor
Base Attack: +45
Element: Ice
Stats: Musou +56, Attack +38, Musou Charge +51

Stage: Battle of Hasedo
Requirements: Keep all allies alive and within 12 minutes make Mogami forces appear 2nd time and get 300 KOs.

LoW's tip: When Keiji stays behind to stall Date forces, you better hurry to the escape point because he's not going to last forever.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: DO NOT leave these idiots alone. They will die. And try to bring a horse. You'll definitely want it when the weapon shows up. And don't use his new charge attack in crowds, it is a waste of time.

Nene

Name: Soaring Steel
Base Attack: +42
Element: Wind
Stats: Ride +39, Speed +56, Dexterity +36

Stage: Siege of Odawara Castle
Requirements: Within 10 minutes escort the 1st siege ramp to castle wall and get 300 KOs.

gammie002's Hint: Make sure you protect the first siege ramp that appeared to it's destination without being destroyed, and kill at least 300 enemies or more within 10 minutes at the start of the stage. For the siege ramp to appear, you first need to kill the officer that is in the east garrison. The item will appear at the southwest side after you complete the requirements. I hope this will help you guys.

Kotaro Fuma

Name: Infernal Fists
Base Attack: +45
Element: Lightning
Stats: Attack +52, Defense +52, Speed +33

Stage: Kotaro's Insurrection
Requirements: Within 11 minutes succeed in the mission 'Halt the cannon fire from the outer ward' and get 400 KOs. Keep all your allies alive as well (Hanzo, Tadakatsu, Ina and Ieyasu).

LoW's guide: Kill Ujimasa Hojo as quickly as possible and exit the castle. When your outside, start getting KOs and head towards Norihide Matsuda's location in the east. Kill him when you get the mission to stop the cannon fire. Then get the remaining KOs and you get valuable item report.

Note: If you get too close the main gate, you unlock the mission where your task is to open the gate for Tadakatsu. If this happens, you cannot get 'Halt the cannon fire from the outer ward' mission anymore.

Musashi Miyamoto

Name: Courage and Conviction
Base Attack: +48
Element: Fire
Stats: Musou +48, Defense +55, Range +36

Stage: Tournament of Champions (Dream)
Requirements: Achieve 700 kills before Kojiro arrives.

LoW's tip: If you're using Musashi's 4th weapon, you may want to unequip Ele-Charge skill or give him another element.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: If I remember correctly Kojiro won't show up until you beat both Sakon and Tadakatsu so just wail on the enemies until you get 700, kill Honda and Shima, get the weapon, and finish the stage.

Toshiie Maeda

Name: Katsuie's Pride
Base Attack: +45
Element: Wind
Stats: Life +18, Musou +36, Defense 38, Ride +36, Luck +18

Stage: Tournament of Champions (Dream)
Requirements: Within 10 minutes recruit all yellow officers on your side.

LoW's tip: No need to defeat all officers. Sometimes it's enough if you defeat the leader of the clan. For example, if you defeat Motochika, then all Chosokabe officers become your allies.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: Since this is his dream stage you'll probably want his fourth before you go after this one. Bring a fast horse as well. And as soon as the stage starts go after the the generals in the corners. Kill the underlings before the clan heads though. And don't forget to pick up the rewards if you have time.

Katsuie Shibata

Name: Epoch Makers
Basic Attack: +46
Element: Lightning
Stats: Attack +55, Life +53, Musou Charge +37

Stage: Battle of Shizukagate
Requirements: Within 10 minutes secure all of the eastern garrisons and kill 300 before your allies think about betraying you.

LoW's tip: Not much of a challenge for Katsuie. Seize the four eastern garrison as fast as you can and get the KOs. Finish the stage normally after you have collected the weapon.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: Again, make liberal use of his elemental skill. The time constraints aren't as bad but still work fast.

Motochika Chosokabe

Name: Fatal Echo
Base Attack: +45
Element: Demon
Stats: Life +55, Defense +53, Luck +36

Stage: Nobunaga's Invasion (Dream)
Requirements: Within 4 minutes succeed in the mission 'Seize the north cannon fortress' and get 150 KOs.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: As soon as the stage starts head for the cannons. Technically they're in the middle of the stage, you'll need to defeat the one that Hideyoshi is guarding. If you have an ice weapon, this will be a peace of cake with his level 3 musou attack. After that, unleash your wrath on enough peons and you've got your weapon.

Kojiro Sasaki

Name: Eternal Sleep
Base Attack: +42
Element: Ice
Stats: Defense +37, Speed +55, Dexterity +53

Stage: The Greatest Swordsmen (Dream)
Requirements: Within 13 minutes make Nobunaga appear and get 500 KOs.

LoW's guide: Clear the center area first by defeating 5 enemy generals. Head south and defeat Tadaoki Hosokawa and Gracia, then Hideyoshi. When you're going after Katsuie, take the northeastern route and defeat Tokugawa officers inside the garrison. Enter the garrison where Katsuie is and defeat him. He then reappears in the southwest along with Hideyoshi. Defeat those two again and Nobunaga appears. If you still haven't obtained 500 KOs, get them before your time is up and valuable item should appear.

Gtown's Helpful Hints: Again, you'll want to pause when they talk. And remember to rack up the kills while completing the missions. Nobunaga won't appear until you've killed Hideyoshi and Katsuie twice. And that comes after the other missions.

Yoshimoto Imagawa

Name: Elite Kemari
Base Attack: +42
Element: Demon
Stats: Attack +18, Defense +18, Luck +57, Musou Charge +38, Range +19

Stage: Battle of Okehazama (Dream)
Requirements: Within 11 minutes make Nobunaga appear 2nd time.

LoW's tip: Pause during the conversations to save time. Awakening 2 is recommended since it makes Yoshimoto's level 3 Musou + Play Dead special much more powerful. Use that move to quickly finish off officers.

LoW's guide: Although we're talking about Yoshimoto, this weapon isn't so hard to get. When the stage starts, head towards the two garrisons in the southwest and capture them by defeating the officers inside them. Nobunaga appears near your main camp. Return there (ignore Katsuie and Toshiie along the way) and defeat Nobunaga and his two officers. Ieyasu soon defects to Oda forces. When this happens, defeat him as quickly as possible (don't bother with Tadakatsu and Hanzo) and Nobunaga appears for the second time near Oda main camp. You get the valuable item report if you were fast enough.

Gracia

Name: Divine Mercy
Base Attack: +42
Element: Lightning
Stats: Ride +53, Luck +52, Musou Charge +39

Stage: Assault on the Saika
Requirements: Within 8 minutes succeed in the missions 'Defeat Nagahide Niwa and Junkei Tsutsui' and 'Defeat the second wave of the Oda Army', then wait until third wave of Oda Army advances.

LoW's tip: Avoid going near the center garrison. Use your R1+S special attacks often to take out enemy generals quickly. If you're being too slow, try pausing during the conversations to save some time.
