Can I suggest something?

For Katsuie's original 4th, Heaven & Earth, I don't think it is a good idea to wait until the sneak ambush on Yoshimoto succeeds first before racking up the 400 kills. I've tried doing this three times and I always ran out of people to kill! 390 or so is the best I could get before every enemy was completely wiped out other than Yoshimoto on the stage!

However, by killing peons right from the start as I go along to complete the missions leading up to the escort mission, I manage to get about 460 kills in my first try using that method and get the 4th weapon as a result. It helps to keep the enemy defense captains alive so that they keep churning out enemy peons.

The weapon is frustrating to get, though, because of the constant verbal diarrhea from Toshiie (SHUT UP ALREADY!) and Hideyoshi. Even with constant pausing, I got the sneak attack on Yoshimoto to succeed with about one minute or so to spare.

Well, I never ran out of enemies. One thing you can do is to avoid securing the gates since they'll provide plenty of soldiers for you. I had 100-150 KOs when the ambush succeeded and getting the remaining KOs wasn't much of a challenge.

Hello all you fellow Samurai Warriors fans out there ^_^

So far recently I have been able to get some of the level 5 weapons in the game, it makes it more fun, but of all level 4 weapons in the game, has anyone gotten Gracia's 4th weapon yet? I dont know the name of the weapon in English and im really having trouble obtainning the weapon. Here is the details. :blink:

Im supposed to do this in story mode and have it set at least on hard mode which I have been doing. So far I dont understand the objective of getting Gracia's 4th weapon. The hint for the weapon aquisaiton is this:

"Enable the swift transport of supplies"

What does it really mean? :(

Im I supposed to get the supply unit before the Oda battleship comes, is the supply team supposed to be dead, does it have to do with the Oda ship, does this involve a time limit? I really dont know. Ive done this 3 times and niether a weapons box or a supply unit appeared. So unless someone knows how to get the weapon, im stuck with a level 3 weapon: Exalted Beauty <_<

I don't have the weapon yet, nor have I tried. Try using this guide whenever you can't find help here:

There is nothing to do with the Oda ship. You only need to make sure that the general representing the supply unit reaches the northeastern garrison marked as X as quickly as possible.

When you first begin the stage, did you wait until a mission show up before you defeat the general guarding the area to the left of your starting point? I didn't the first time around and couldn't get the weapon as a result.

Finally at last I was able to obtain Gracia's Fouth Weapon :lol:

So you all finally want to know what it is, where here it is at last for those that have been wondering:

4th Weapon:
Weapon Name: Sacred Grace
Element: Wind
Base Attack: 42

Added Features:
Musou + 39
Speed + 34
Dexterity + 36
Range + 39

So far I give helpful credits to LittleDragonZ, Flute & Butterfly, and the gamefaqs site for providing the help info.

Stage: Battle of Osaka Bay (Story Mode)

Difficultly: Hard or Above

Requirements: Complete the first mission where you have to defeat an officer to control the southern boat for the supply unit to appear, that time you must also escort the supply unit to the North East garrison within 10 minutes of the start. Also pause during long conversations. If you are able to do this right the weapons box is located near Ranmaru's location next to the Oda Main Camp.

P.S. Obtaining the weapon is not that hard :P

Now time to obtain Gracia's Divine Mercy, thank goodness its not a dream stage :lol:

Nagamasa's 4th

@LoW: I'm not sure, but isn't slaying Mitsuhide a requirement? Plus, I've noticed that killing Ranmaru before him prevents you from getting the weapon report. So in other words, I didn't kill Ranmaru, though still was able to get it.

Btw you can also prevent the explosion by killing Hideyoshi, and still get the weapon.

You might want to try and confirm this if you can.

Yes, I believe killing Mitsuhide is a requirement because that's what's said in weapon acquisition. But killing Ranmaru first doesn't prevent you from getting the weapon, though (that's what I've always done).

It's possible that you don't need to complete every mission, but it's recommended for the sake of your allies. If you lose too many, Keijun Miyabe defects and Nagamasa doesn't order his army to charge. I'll test it later tonight.

Why I'm saying this is because I got the weapon yesterday. I killed Ranmaru first, then Nobunaga commended me, but the report of the unit never showed. I saved it right before killing either one as well.

After that I killed Mitsuhide, then Nagamasa ordered the charge, and finally Nobunaga commends you. So I'm assuming that you need that order from Nagamasa since thats when the report came.

If there is an order weapon acquisition hint says "defeat in a certain order". This is mentioned, for example, in Kenshin and Oichi's 4th weapon hints.

Well, I just got the weapon and I followed my guide step by step. However, the exact requirements are to claim Mt. Jizo and defeat Ranmaru and Mitsuhide. The weapon appears after Nagamasa orders his army to charge which happens once you defeat all enemy officers (excluding No and Nobutada Oda). You also need to keep most of your allies alive and prevent Keijun Miyabe from defecting.

You need to pay a bit more attention, LDZ ;).

//And Nagamasa must order his army to charge within 10 minutes when the stage begins.

Well, I don't see how because I got the weapon without killing Ranmaru. After I killed Mitsuhide, I got the report.

Edit: I see:

//And Nagamasa must order his army to charge within 10 minutes when the stage begins.

Thats likely it then. But Ranmaru still isn't a requirement. Though I find it strange that the weapon aquisition does not state a time limit either.

Well, the hint does mention "defeat two famous enemy officers". It could also refer to Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide, but I don't know for sure since I've never left anyone alive.

Time limit is not always mentioned. I'd remember Kojiro's 5th also has a time limit even though it's not said in the hint.

Kojiro's one said ''quickly'' or something like that, if I remember right? So that basically is a time limit note.

So what may have been the case with me was that I was very close to the time limit, and that if I defeated Ranmaru first I would've had too short of time to slay Mitsuhide, causing Nobunaga to commend me without Nagamasa's own charge quote? I guess since Mitsuhide was a requirement and Ranmaru wasn't then.

Koei should be more clear towards this kind of thing.

But yeah, it should be noted that Ranmaru isn't a requirement. Since he is not a mission, though famous?

Then it was Motochika's 4th weapon hint. I think it only says "Block the enemy's escape route and defeat famous enemy officers". Doesn't say antyhing about time limit even though there is one.

"Famous" always refers to playable character. If you're certain that Ranmaru doesn't need to be defeated, then that leaves Katsuie and Hideyoshi. Since we don't know which one it is, it would be wise to defeat both of them, just in case.

Doesn't Kenshin's 4th weapon require you to beat Mitsuhide before Ranmaru instead of the other way around?

I just did a bunch of these over the last two days following this guide (Yukimura through Nagamasa). I followed the guide exactly for Kenshin and didn't get it. So I consulted Mythril Wyrm's Kenshin guide on GameFAQs, which had the opposite order and I got it. However it lists getting trapped in the Shimazu camp instead of defeating the Hashiba Army as one of the requirements. I did both, both times to be safe.

That could be the order. I might have confused their names at some point. I'll try the stage later tonight and confirm the requirements.

I can't remember do you need to get trapped inside the garrison or not. I know for sure, though, that you must activate the geyser event.

//You were right, Evil. The right order is Mitsuhide and Ranmaru. Apparently, it's also required that you enter the northwestern garrison before your allies do. The hint says "Slow the enemies down" which probably refers to geyser event and to ambush party in northwest garrison (although I don't understamd how that slows them down...)

Just a slight correction here LoW. On your Mitsuhide 4th weapon guide you have Mitsunari's name listed instead of his lol. In the requirements, check there.

I'll be getting this weapon again today since I'm using him. I also do think 40+ is the best time since its too hard to move from officer to officer whilst keeping your allies alive, in your early 30's, especially now that in XL's Toshiie is with Katsuie.

Yeah, I noticed that typo but now it's fixed.

I made slight changes to Yoshihiro's 4th weapon requirements. Ginchiyo is the last person who you need to rescue. You won't get the weapon if you rescue her before Sakon and Mitsunari.

Oh yeah, I've got that anyway. Hmm..doesn't the aquisition requirements state rescuing her last? I know that I didn't get the guide for his here but otherwise GameFAQs.

Yeah, the hint in the game says "Rescue all your allies before rescuing the heroine of Kyushu". But back in SW2 I didn't know about it.

I thought I was right about that.

I believe at the time when the SW2 4th's were announced that the guides were a bit clumsy. Since I did state that I got Mitsuhide's by reading a less accurate guide back in SW2. And this time it was much easier.

I heard, back in SW2, that you had to keep all allies alive that were with Keiji, Okuni, Katsuie and Masamune, and I had to ride from wave to wave and even managed to do it, so it's possible. Though harder now since Toshiie is with Katsuie in XL. However, now I found out it was to keep 4 allies alive, which made protecting the main base with 4-5 officers around much simpler.
