Guide is finally completed. Including the DLC. Any Trigger info I post is just from my personal playthrough. So if you have differenty ways of doing it, post in the comments below and share. The more alternatives we have the better. I've also posted the rare weapon locations and explain them just below. Thanks to everyone who donated point and thumbs and stuff. I really appreciate it.

----------RARE WEAPONS----------
Rare Weapons in this game are gathered in halves. Sort of. You must complete 2 specific stages to get a Rare Weapon. Each stage must be completed with a specific character, while having this specific character attain S Rank in all categories. Each stage must be completed with S Rank on all 5 categories of results. Time, Combo Count, Officer K.O, regular K.O, Final Result, all have to be S.

You need each S ranking to be attributed to the specific character. You do not need to complete all S ranks in one playthrough. Specified character may S Rank 4 categories in playthrough 1. Then come back later and S Rank the 5th category in playthrough 2. That being said, there is no way to keep up with which character earned your S ranks. Which causes confusion.

There will be NO indication that you've done the first stage correct. You will only see the weapon show up at the end of the 2nd stage. Even so, I describe this process as getting "Half" a weapon on stage 1, and the other "Half" a weapon on stage 2.

So as you go through the guide, you should be able to see which stages have weapons. It should also tell you where the other half of the weapon is. I hope this helps clear up any confusion about the weapons and how I describe them.

Triigger "Shortcut to Commander" by killing troops in that central area, but do not finish it. Then Finish "Breaching Yamazimaru". This will trigger "Take Out the Azai Officers".

Battle of Tonezaka










Objectives 11/11

    A Steel Defense
  • Defeat the enemy troops surrounding Ichijyodani Castle.

    The Uesugi's Raid
  • Prevent Kagemochi Amakasu and his allies from infiltrating the Oda Main Camp.
    Pay attention. You've got a very brave but very brittle Sadayuki Atsuji next to your camp. He will hold off the two officers that usually come his way for about 5 seconds. Meaning, you need to get in gear and get down there.

    No Asakura Shall Survive
  • Defeat Kageyuki Asakura and Kageakira Takahashi.

    The God of War's Stratagem
  • Defeat Tomonobu Saito, Nagahide Yasuda, and Kagetsugu Amakasu, and prevent Kazumasu Takigawa and Nobumori Sakuma from being taken out.

    For the Ninja

    Pretty straightforward I think. I usually leave "Steel Defense" unfinished until you hear Mitsuki's dialogue and the applicable bonus objective triggers.

    Where the Attack Starts
  • Defeat the enemy troops to capture the Northwestern Garrison.
    After Kenshin shows up, make your way to the area around Kunikiyo Yamaura. Nobunaga will mention it being a perfect place and the objective should trigger.

    Not Even Gods Are Sacred
  • Defeat Nagaatsu Shibata and Nagachika Kawada to advance the riflemen.
    After completing "The God of War's Strategem", two officers will come in from the north center gate. It should trigger whenever they show up automatically.

    With a Traitor by Your Side
  • Escort Kageakira Asakura to the Uesugi Main Camp.
    This guy camps out behind his gate all stage, but finally opens up when you finish "No Asakura Shall Survive". Approach him and he quickly freaks out and defects to you. You should get the trigger then.

Mitsuki Only Bonus Objectives
    Mitsuki Fights
  • Mitsuki must defeat Tatsuoki Saito and Michitoshi Nagai with Musou Attacks.
    Pretty straightforward I think. I usually leave "Steel Defense" unfinished until you hear Mitsuki's dialogue and the applicable bonus objective triggers.

Mitsuhide Akechi Only Bonus Objectives
    A Necessary Farewell
  • Mitsuhide Akechi must defeat Yoshikage Asakura with a Musou Attack.
    Should trigger automatically if you have Mitsuhide playable.

    Trigger by entering the southeastern garrison. Which is a little ways south of Katsuiie Shibata's starting position.

  • Defeat Katsumoto Katagiri and the spear captains to rendezvous with Nobunaga earlier than planned.
    After you do "Guardians of Kingomaru", run to the area north of where "Mitsuki's Progress" was located. You should see Katagiri and his spear captains, which should trigger this objective. Alternatively, you could leave Oichi alive, finish "Nobunaga in Danger", then walk right up to Katagiri.

    The Swift Arrows of the Azai
  • Defeat the archer captains to capture Nakamaru.
    Along the trail that is east of "Massacre at Kyogokumaru", there's a weapon box. Just south of the weapon box is a small block of archers. After completing the massacre, this will trigger when approaching the archers. I have not been able to trigger this before completing the massacre.

    Mitsuki's Progress
  • Defeat Masamoto Azai and Kiyotsuna Akao while protecting the spy captains.
    During "Breaking Through the Southern Lines" and "Momochi's Plan", you'll get some dialogue from Mitsuki indicating a garrison she wants to take down. Her spy captains will show up nearby.

[[[[CHAPTER 5 STAGES]]]]

    The Same Boat
  • Defeat Tadamasa Yuki and Tadataka Okuda.
    As 2P moves north, you'll see these two guys holed up in a garrison to your right. It has a yellow X facing you, so defeat the guard captain and enter the garrison to trigger objective.

Katsuiie Only Bonus Objectives
    Beauty and the Gonruko

    Triggers when Katsuiie is playable. Same mission as "Onward" but with a 3 min time limit. Before completing this, have 2P approach Nagachika Kawada's team near Oichi. This will trigger the bonus objective "Ladies First".

Demon's Revolt
S Rank all with Katsuiie on Hard or greater. Other half is on Akechi 1-4, Battle of Akechi Castle, with Toshimitsu Saito.
Battle of Kizugawaguchi










Objectives 10/10
NOTE: I currently believe it's impossible to get 9/9 in a run. If "Extinction" is triggered and completed, then "Looming Menace" does not seem to trigger. Failing "Extinction" allows "Looming Menace" to trigger. I have triggered "Extinction" and glitched the transport captain until the very last mission of the stage. Unless that transport captain safely makes it, "Looming Menace" will not trigger. I have yet to find a way around this, so comment if you get any ideas.
NOTE2: "For My Friends" and "With Hanbei" are interchangeable missions. With Hanbei being the trigger for "For My Friends", and the other being default.


    Guarding the Main Camp
  • Defeat Nobunao Kumagai and Munekatsu Nomi, and defend the Oda Main Camp.

    Have Hope
  • Defend the Oda Main Camp until the iron warships arrive.

    The Time to Strike Back
  • Defeat the enemy troops on the Central Battlefield to weaken the Mori Army.

    Saika's Victim
  • Defeat Magoichi Saika, and prevent Yoshitaka Kuki from being taken out.

    Another Attack
  • Defeat Terumoto Mori and his allies to protect the Oda Main Camp.

    Extinction
  • Prevent the transport unit from reaching the Southeastern Garrison.
    After "Have Hope" triggers, you will see Kobayakawa mention a supply troop. In the middle south part of the map, you will see the ring flash when the transport unit appears. Just approach to trigger. If you complete this objective, there's a good chance "Looming Menace" will not trigger. If you intentionally fail this objective and let the transport captain safely make it, "Looming Menace" should trigger.

    With Hanbei
  • Defeat Terumoto Mori and his allies before Hanbei Takenaka's health drops below 50 percent.
    During "Another Attack" you'll hear dialogue stating Hanbei's condition. Just approach Hanbei during this to trigger the objective.

    Looming Menace
  • Defeat Rairen Shimotsuna and Raijin Shimotsuna, and prevent a pincer attack.
    If you killed the supply captain, you will likely never trigger this objective. If you did not kill the supply captain, these guys will still be holed up in their garrison until "Another Attack" starts. Once it does, the garrison opens and you can approach them to trigger this one.

    Where There's Smoke
  • Defeat the arson squadron and prevent them from infiltrating the Oda Main Camp.
    At the very beginning of stage, directly west of the Oda Main Camp, you'll see fireball soldiers.
    Approach them to trigger the mission.

Hanbei Only Bonus Objectives
    For My Friends
  • Hanbei Takanaka must defeat one of the enemies closing in on the Oda Main Camp with a Musou Attack.

Sacred Flame Mortar
S Rank all with Kazuuji on Hard or greater. Other half is on Reverie 1-2, Match in Eiroku, with Magoichi Saika.
Battle of Arioka Castle










Objectives 12/12
NOTE: "Rescuing Kanbei" and "Setting an Example" seem to be interchangeable. With Hanbei triggering "Setting an Example", while the other is default. There could be more to this though. In the end, you will always see 10/10 without Hanbei. 11/11 with Hanbei.

    Laying Siege
  • Defeat Yorimichi Nose and Murauji Suita to capture the garrson.

    Bait
  • To serve as bait, defeat the enemy troops in the east before the Mori Army arrives.

    Hanbei's Strategy
  • Defeat Muratsugu Araki and Shigekata Kinoshita to spread false information.

    Rescuing Kanbei
  • Defeat Motokiyo Araki, Niemon Anbe, and Tomomasa Ikeda to rescue Kanbei Kuroda.
    This is the mission that will show up when you do not have Hanbei on your team. Seems this is interchangeable with "Setting An Example".

    Murashige Araki Escapes
  • Prevent Murashige Araki and Michiyoshi Kuchiba from rendezvousing.

    Fighting the Mori
  • Defeat Takaie Shishido and his allies to stop the planned siege.

    Hanbei's Preparations
  • Defeat Masamoto Kodera and Kunimitsu Shiokawa to prepare for the Mori Army's appearance.
    After defeating 1/2 targets in "Laying Siege", you can approach these guys in the northwest garrison to trigger it.

    The Soldiers of Arioka Castle
  • Convince Ukon Takayama and Kiyohide Nakagawa to defect to the Oda Army by defeating them.
    When Araki makes a run for it, approach the two guys left in the southern garrison to trigger it.

    The Rear Guard
  • Defeat Hajime Watanabe and Nobunao Kumagai to prevent the appearance of the Mori Army's rear guard.
    After defeating a couple targets for "Fighting the Mori", this should come up on its own I think. But it might trigger, then immediately FAIL because the rear guard shows up so fast. If this happens to you, I recommend trying to defeat both targets just before you defeat 1 target of "Fighting the Mori". This might let you complete the objective in time.

    Impregnable
  • Defeat Motoharu Kikkawa.
    Should trigger automatically after defeating all 5 targets in "Fighting the Mori".

Hanbei Only Bonus Objectives
    Setting An Example
  • Defeat Motokiyo Araki, Niemon Anbe, and Tomomasa Ikeda to rescue Kanbei Kuroda.
    After "Hanbei's Strategy" is completed, you should see the garrison in the southwest area unlock.
    Approach Kanbei and this should trigger. It seems this Objective is interchangeable with "Saving Kanbei" above. I think you will only see this one when having Hanbei on your team.

    My Final Duty
  • Hanbei Takanaka must defeat the enemy troops on the east bridge.
    When "Fighting the Mori" is active, run Hanbei up to the northeastern part of the map where a bridge lays. This should trigger as you approach the bridge. Every single game, it's tough losing Hanbei. Love the little guy.

Sakura Princess
Use Hideyoshi to S Rank all on Hard or greater. Other half is on Oda 2-5, Sunomata Castle, with Hideyoshi.
The Nobuyasu Affair










Objectives 9/9

    The Strongest Cavalry

  • Defeat Katsuyori Takeda, and prevent him from reaching the escape point.

    Returning Home
  • Defeat Shigetsugu Honda and Chikayoshi Hiraiwa, and make them defect.
    Break open the northern garrison with a yellow X below it. Approaching them will trigger it.

    The Heart That Wavers
  • Defeat Kazumasa Ishikawa before Tadayo Okubo's health drops below 50 percent.
    This should trigger around the time "Moment of Truth" does. Okubo makes a comment about being between a rock and a hard place.

    The Takeda's Pride
  • Defeat Tomoharu Komiyama and his allies, and wipe out the Takeda Army.

    The Iga in Shadow
  • Defeat Masayasu Fujibayashi, Yazaemon Kido, and Mitsutsugu Ueda, and prevent the supply of weapons.
    During "The Moment of Truth", you'll hear Hanzo mention Iga Ninja. If you Pause and look at the Log, you'll see a green square outlined in the east. Go there to trigger this one.

Heavenly Twin Blade
S Rank all with Ieyasu on Hard or greater. Other half is in Reverie 1-6, Final Battle of Kozuki Castle, with Yamanaka.
[[[[CHAPTER 6 STAGES]]]]
Battle of Takatenjin Castle










Objectives10/10
NOTE: I could only get "Settling the Score with Okabe" to trigger on Nobunaga or Ieyasu. "Tokugawa and Nobutada's United Front" seems to be triggered by any of the Tokugawa forces. I did not check if Sena worked.

    A Threat to the Main Camp
  • Prevent Mitsumasa Muroga and Motoyasu Haramiishi from infiltrating the main camp.

    Capturing the Nogasaka Garrison
  • Defeat the enemy troops to capture the Nogasaka Garrison.

    The Enemy Closes in on Higamine Garrison
  • Defeat Mitsukata Nagasaka and Tomohide Okuma, and stop them from reaching the Hidamine Garrison.

    For Okabe
  • Defeat Nobukado Takeda and his allies before Motonobu Okabe readies his forces.

    The Cavalry at Takatenjin Castle
  • Defeat all the Takeda Cavalry Captains at Takatenjin Castle.

    Archers on the Cliff
  • Defeat all the archer captains on the cliff so your allies can advance.
    While doing this mission, be aware of the targets from "A Threat to the Main Camp". If they get past you to the main camp, you fail that mission.

    Whoever is Running the Show
  • Defeat Nobumori Ema.
    Approach the east and jump down the cliff to get to this guy. Do this before anyone approaches Okabe. Approaching him starts "The Enemy Closes in on Hidemine Garrison", and you lose the chance to trigger this bonus objective.

    The Enemy with the Upper Hand
  • Defeat Masatoshi Hoshina and Mitsusuna Akiyama to defend the main camp.

Ieyasu, Hanzo, and Tadakatsu Only Bonus Objectives
    Tokugawa and Nobutada's United Front
  • Enemy troops are attacking the main camp. Work with Nobutada Oda to defeat them.
    This happens right after "The Enemy with the Upper Hand" when you have Ieyasu in team.

Nobunaga and Ieyasu Only Bonus Objectives
    Settling the Score with Okabe
  • Defeat Motonobu Okabe with a Musou Attack.
    If you get him down to a third health on his last health bar, he'll start dialogue with Ieyasu and Nobunaga. The Ieyasu dialogue is a bit cringe. For Nobunaga, he just talks some smack.
Conquest of Kai










Objectives 11/11
NOTE: Whether you take the north or south path up the mountain is of little importance. If you let Katsuyori reach Nobushige, you will get some interesting dialogue though. That's cold Nobushige.

    The Beginnings of Betrayal
  • Defeat the enemy troops to send the enemy into a state of panic.

    The Last of the Takeda Cavalry
  • Defeat the Takeda Cavalry.

    To Shinpu Castle!
  • Defeat Masasada Oyamada and Masayuki Oyamada to open the Shinpu Castle gate.

    Castle Ruins
  • Defeat Morinobu Nishina and Masanao Hoshina to capture Shinpu Castle.

    The Takeda Struggle

    The Takeda's Foothold
  • Defeat Nobukado Takeda and Yoritoyo Shiwa in order to capture the garrisons near Shinpu Castle.
    Just approach either of these guys while you're taking out the cavalry captains.

    The Takeda Buy Some Time
  • Defend the Oda Main Camp by defeating the enemy troops surrounding the main camp.
    Before completing "Castle Ruins", make 2P go sit at your main camp. This should allow you to catch this mission and deal with it quickly. The right Gate puts out the most peons.

    A Guide to Treachery
  • Escort Nobutada Anayama to the Mt. Tenmaru summit.

    Almost at the Summit
  • Defeat Nobutoyo Takeda, Mitsukata Nagasaka, and Tomohide Okuma to open a path to Mt. Tenmaru summit.
    You USUALLY have to complete "The Takeda Struggle" before this mission will trigger. Coming around from the back side USUALLY will not trigger it. The only exception I have found is if you go up the back way and finish the escort mission. Then backtrack until you hear Nobunaga talk about "suspicious garrisons". Then you can jump down from the back cliff and trigger it.

    The General Who Killed a Thousand Men
  • Defeat Masatsune Tsuchiya.
    Nobutada Anayama will lead you straight to him to trigger this mission. This should be around the time Nobushige defects.

Hanzo Only Bonus Objectives
    For My Lord
  • Defeat the enemy troops at Mt. Tenmoku.
    Have Hanzo escort Nobutada and this should pop up before Tsuchiya's garrison.

Divine Thunder
S Rank all with Yasuke on Hard or greater. Other half is on Oda 3-2, Battle of Anegawa, with Mitsuki.

The Incident










Objectives 12/12

    The Last Battle

    The Riflemen in the Corridor
  • Defeat all the rifle captains to recapture the corridor.

    I Won't Let You Stop Me
  • Capture the barracks outside Honnoji to stop the arrival of enemy reinforcements.
    You should see this after "Mitsuhide's Subjects" starts.

    An Insurmountable Difference in Power
  • Defeat all the spear captains.
    You should see these guys pop up after "Mitsuhide's Subjects" starts. I switched to 1P Nobunaga and had him encounter one of the spear captains. That prompted some dialogue about him "not letting them have their way". Then the objective triggered. Again, timed.

    Taking Advantage of the Confusion
  • Toshimitsu Saito, Hidemitsu Akechi, and Sakaoki Ise have stormed Honnoji. Defeat them.
    Tricky cause they are split up. Toshimitsu is in the northwest, and the others in the southeast. This is also another timed mission.

Nobunaga Only Bonus Objectives
    The Demon King's Pride
  • Nobunaga Oda must achieve victory with more than 50 percent of his health remaining.
    Interim Save is your friend. Just remember kids, when you load a Interim Save, it deletes itself.

Yasuke Only Bonus Objectives
    Repaying Lord Nobunaga
  • Yasuke must defeat the enemy troops with a Musou Attack.
    This triggered for me after Mitsuhide retreats, and I had 2P Yasuke go to the very southmost path.
    I think just switching to Yasuke after Mitsuhide retreats will trigger it. Also timed.

The Great Serpent Slayer
S Rank with Nobunaga on Hard or greater. Other half is on Akechi 2-3, Joint Struggle with the Uesugi, using Kenshin.
Battle of Takamatsu Castle










Objectives 9/9

    Seizing the High Ground

    During "Reinforcements Arrive", these two will appear in the north central area where you did first mission.

    A Clever Pincer
  • Defeat Motosuke Hirage and Hyobu Kihara to prevent a pincer attack.
    Just after the previous objective, these guys come out of the northeastern garrison.

    Seizing the Garrison

    After completing "Reinforcements Arrive", the south central garrison will open up and allow you to approach these guys.

Crossing of Iga





Objectives10/10

    Just southwest of Sandayu and the Northeastern Garrison, there's a small area locked behind 2 gates. After all the fires have been set, you should see these gates unlock and dialogue from Kenshin. Approach him with Mitsuhide and wait a full minute for them to politely smack talk each other. Then should trigger. Make sure the rest of the map is clear before completing this.

Nobunaga Only Bonus Objectives
    Sworn Foe
  • Nobunaga Oda must defeat Magoichi Saika before his health drops below 50 percent.
    After "The Path to the Blaze" and "Fire Attack Preparedness" have been completed, Magoichi should appear just north of Sandayu Momochi. Have Nobunaga approach him to trigger.
Battle of Makishima Castle










Objectives 9/9

    The Path to Makishima Castle
  • Defeat Tomomichi Iwanari and Fujikata Hosokawa to open the gate to Makishima Castle.

    Breaching the Outer Gates
  • Defeat the enemy troops surrounding Makishima Castle to open the Makishima Castle gate.

    Mitsubuchi's Resolve
  • Defeat Fujihide Mitsubuchi.

    Tracking Down Magoichi
  • Find and defeat Magoichi Saika.

    Crushing the Saika Mercenary Base
  • Defeat all the Captains of the Guard to prevent the appearance of Saika Mercenary Officers.

    The Castle Stained Crimson
  • Escort Sandayu Momochi to Makishima Castle, and get ready for a fire attack.

    The Threat Lurks Behind
  • Defeat Terusuke Hino.
    At the very beginning of the stage, find Hidemasa Ueno. To the east of him, there's a red X. Behind that red X is a garrison full of archers. Take 2P and run into that garrison and wait until you "discover" Terusuke Hino in there.

    Truth Shrouded in Gunsmoke
  • Defeat the Saika Mercenary Rifle Captains.
    After defeating a couple targets in "Tracking Down Magoichi", you should hear some dialogue from Magoichi that says, "Let's deploy the rest of the riflemen." You will then get a notification of Riflemen being deployed. Check your Log to see the locations and approach them to trigger this objective.

    Momochi's Escort
  • Hurry and defeat the Saika Mercenaries while they're still far away. Don't let them get near Sandayu Momochi.
    This one should be fairly straightforward. It might be a good idea to camp a character where Terusuke Hino was. That way you can ambush the northern rifleman that comes running toward Sandayu.
Battle of Tonezaka










Objectives 11/11
NOTE: "Mitsuki Fights" and "For the Ninja" are interchangeable missions. With a playable Mitsu being the only trigger for "Mitsu Fights". While the other mission is default.
NOTE2: Unfortunately, this seems to be a clone of every single mission from Nobunaga's Battle of Tonezaka.

    Clash at Tonezaka
  • Defeat Michikage Asakura and his allies.

    A Steel Defense
  • Defeat the enemy troops surrounding Ichijyodani Castle.

    The Uesugi's Raid
  • Prevent Kagemochi Amakasu and his allies from infiltrating the Oda Main Camp.
    Pay attention. You've got a very brave but very brittle Sadayuki Atsuji next to your camp. He will hold off the two officers that usually come his way for about 5 seconds. Meaning, you need to get in gear and get down there.

    No Asakura Shall Survive
  • Defeat Kageyuki Asakura and Kageakira Takahashi.

    The God of War's Stratagem
  • Defeat Tomonobu Saito, Nagahide Yasuda, and Kagetsugu Amakasu, and prevent Kazumasu Takigawa and Nobumori Sakuma from being taken out.

    For the Ninja
  • Defeat Tatsuoki Saito and Michitoshi Nagai, and prevent Mitsu from being taken out.
    Pretty straightforward I think. I usually leave "Steel Defense" unfinished until you hear Mitsuki's dialogue and the applicable bonus objective triggers.

    Where the Attack Starts
  • Defeat the enemy troops to capture the Northwestern Garrison.
    After Kenshin shows up, make your way to the area around Kunikiyo Yamaura. Nobunaga will mention it being a perfect place and the objective should trigger.

    Not Even Gods Are Sacred
  • Defeat Nagaatsu Shibata and Nagachika Kawada to advance the riflemen.
    After completing "The God of War's Strategem", two officers will come in from the north center gate. It should trigger whenever they show up automatically.

    With a Traitor by Your Side
  • Escort Kageakira Asakura to the Uesugi Main Camp.
    This guy camps out behind his gate all stage, but finally opens up when you finish "No Asakura Shall Survive". Approach him and he quickly freaks out and defects to you. You should get the trigger then.

Mitsuki Only Bonus Objectives
    Mitsuki Fights
  • Mitsuki must defeat Tatsuoki Saito and Michitoshi Nagai with Musou Attacks.
    Pretty straightforward I think. I usually leave "Steel Defense" unfinished until you hear Mitsuki's dialogue and the applicable bonus objective triggers.

Mitsuhide Only Bonus Objectives
    A Necessary Farewell
  • Mitsuhide Akechi must defeat Yoshikage Asakura with a Musou Attack.
    Should trigger automatically if you have Mitsuhide playable.
Battle of Odani Castle










Objectives 14/14
NOTE: Largely the same as Oda's Battle of Odani Castle. "The Swift Arrows of the Azai" has been switched with "Breaking through the Guard Post". And instead of "Mitsuhide in Peril", we have "Nobunaga in Danger". Besides those, it's the same battle.

    Blood-Stained Yamazakimaru
  • Defeat the enemy troops to set fire to Yamazakimaru

    Capturing the Southern Garrison
  • Defeat Kunishada Mitamura to capture the Southern Garrison.

    Breaking Through the Southern Lines
  • Defeat Ujitane An'yoji and Hidetoshi Onogi to clear a path.

    Momochi's Plan
  • Defeat Naoyori Nakajima and Naochika Nakajima while protecting the fireball captains.

    He Who Stands in the Way
  • Defeat Oichi and her allies to capture Ozuku Garrison.

    The Guardians of Kingomaru
  • Defeat Katsuiie Shibata and the shield soldiers to capture Kingomaru.

    Nobunaga in Danger
  • Defeat Kazumasa Isono and his allies before they approach Nobunaga Oda.
    This will trigger after 3 of the 4 targets in "He Who Stands in the Way" are defeated. Defeating 4/4 will trigger "Massacre at Kyogokumaru". If you leave Oichi undefeated, complete "Mitsuhide in Peril", then circle back to finish Oichi, it might make your life easier.

    The Massacre at Kyogokumaru
  • Defeat Tsunachika Kaiho and his allies to set fire to Kyogokumaru

    Breaking through the Guard Post
  • Defeat the enemy troops at the guard post in order to mount a swift attack.

    Unwavering Resolve
  • Defeat Oichi and Katsuiie Shibata.

    Hidden in the Garrison
  • Defeat the spy captains hiding in the garrison.
    After the first mission and fire scene, Nobunaga will mention a strange garrison. It's straight above 2P's starting position. Use 1P to get there and spy captains will show up to trigger this objective.

    Allied Reinforcements Arrive
  • Defeat the enemy troops in the External Ward so the allied reinforcements can be brought in.
    Trigger by entering the southeastern garrison. Which is a little ways south of Katsuiie Shibata's starting position.

    Rendezvous with Nobunaga
  • Defeat Katsumoto Katagiri and the spear captains to rendezvous with Nobunaga earlier than planned.
    After you do "Breaking Through the Guard Post", run to the area north of where "Mitsuki's Progress" was located. You should see Katagiri and his spear captains, which should trigger this objective. Alternatively, you could leave Oichi alive, finish "Nobunaga in Danger", then walk right up to Katagiri.

    Mitsuki's Progress
  • Defeat Masamoto Azai and Kiyotsuna Akao while protecting the spy captains.
    During "Breaking Through the Southern Lines" and "Momochi's Plan", you'll get some dialogue from Mitsuki indicating a garrison she wants to take down. Her spy captains will show up nearby.
    Approach the garrison to trigger the objective.

  • Defeat the peasants to prevent the enemy from transporting their provisions.
    After completing "Guardians of the Garrison", the south area should open up. You'll notice the two southwestern garrisons are empty. Go inside either of them to find the peasants and trigger this objective.

    The Akai Army's Strategy
  • Defeat Tokiie Akai to prevent the arrival of enemy reinforcements.
    After Shikanosuke shows up, a the whole mid-line of gates will open. Approach Tokiie Akai in the westernmost garrison of the mid-line to trigger this objective. And remember the main mission, "Capturing the Center", is a timed mission.

    A Shining Spear in the Back
  • Defeat Nobumasa Sakai and Suruganokami Kimura.
    After completing "A Quiet Determination", the path to the north central garrison should be open.
    Just approach these guys to trigger the objective.
    And how about that name? That's a six syllable first name. With "kami" in it. I don't know what the rest means, but having "god" in your name is a set up for lifelong failure.
Battle of Shigisan Castle










Objectives 10/10
NOTE: Again, almost the same as the Oda version. "Hisahide's Invitation" has been replaced with "The Matsunaga Army Gets Serious". And "A Rapid Rescue" has been replaced with "Stopping the Matsunaga Army Reinforcements".

    Path to the Southern Gate
  • Advance toward the South Gate to infiltrate Shigisan Castle.

    Silencing the Matsunaga Army
  • Infiltrate the Northern Garrison, and draw attention by defeating the enemy troops.

    Nobutada in Trouble

    A Storehouse under Fire
  • Prevent the fireball captains from reaching the storehouse to protect your allies' provisions.

    The Guards at the Castle Gates
  • Defeat Masanobu Honda and Hisamichi Matsunaga to advance into Shigisan Castle.
    Not sure why this one is numbered like this. But I did not start this objective until "The Matsunaga Army Gets Serious" was completed. So don't worry if it doesn't pop up first.

    The Matsunaga Army Gets Serious
  • Defeat Muneyoshi Yagyu, Tomokiyo Ebina, Hideshige Kawarabayashi, and Kunitaka Oka.

    Stopping the Matsunaga Army Reinforcements
  • Defeat Hidemitsu Mori.
    As you progress with 2P during "Path to the Southern Gate", you should see Hidemitsu Mori show up in the southwest garrison. Approach him to trigger the objective.

    A Message Interrupted
  • Defeat Yoshihisa Mori to stop the message from reaching the Southwestern Garrison.
    After defeating 2 targets during "The Matsunaga Army Gets Serious", this guy will show up near the initial starting position of P2.

    Fake Messenger Knocking at the Southern Gate
  • Now that he has defected, escort Yoshihisa Mori to the South Gate.
    The only real resistance you should encounter is 2 fireball captains appearing near Mitsuhide's position.

    The Same Boat
  • Defeat Tadamasa Yuki and Tadataka Okuda.
    As 2P moves north, you'll see these two guys holed up in a garrison to your right. It has a yellow X facing you, so defeat the guard captain and enter the garrison to trigger objective.

Objectives 8/8

    The Main Camp as Bait

    While the Officers Are Away...

    After the main camp gets overrun, Shikanosuke gets called to be the rear guard. The objective area is the big central battlefield.

    The Unrelenting Mori Army
  • Prevent Hajime Watanabe and Motonaga Masuda from approaching Kazumasu Takigawa and Nagahide Niwa.
    After "Enemy Reinforcements Storming In" is completed, and "Motoharu Interferes" starts, you'll see two officers show up at the south central gate. They are fast moving, so you will need speed to intercept them before they jump down the cliff and encounter your group.
The Subjugation of Harima

    An Ambush Out of Nowhere

    A Shorthanded Main Camp

    After "A Strategic Capture" starts, you'll begin to see dialogue from the northwestern fort. "Miki's Lifeline" should trigger. After completing that objective, this bonus objective triggered for me. Keep in mind, this mission is timed. And you'll also have "Mori's Rescue" pop up around this time.
The Iga's Revolt

    Breaching Amagoiyama Castle

  • Defeat Sukezaemon Nakabayashi and Chubei Tomioka to capture the Western Garrison.
    During "Breaching Amagoiyama Castle" you should see troops show up at the northwestern garrison. One of your players will be locked in the eastern garrison. So have the other approach the northwestern garrison to trigger this objective.

    The Ninja's Secret Maneuvers
  • Defeat all the spy captains.
    Describing this location is difficult. Do you remember in "Crossing of Iga", where one of Ieyasu's officers was surrounded by peasant bandits wanting to rob him? Go to that same location during "The Iga Army's Trap". It's to the west and slightly north of Ieyasu's location. It's the small garrison directly south of Hijiyama Castle. You will get a message telling you Otowa and Iga Reinforcements have arrived at various gates. Approach the spy captains coming from the location I described and you'll trigger this objective.

    Targeting Ieyasu
  • Kamonnosuke Taya and the siege captains are after Ieyasu Tokugawa. Defeat them.

Escape From Odaka Castle








Objectives 11/11
NOTE: Full on jail break. Good fun. I think you'll need to beat Terumoto Mori in the "Wooden floored Room" to get enough Officer Kills to S Rank. If you finish "The Genius's Gambit" without defeating him, he will retreat.

    Rendezvous with Tsunahiro Yonebara
  • Defeat Naoyuki Koi and Narikata Kodama to rescue Tsunahiro Yonebara.
    Quickly complete "Courtyard Diversion" and do not wander near the central courtyard. The northwestern gates should open and allow you to approach Tsunahiro if he still has any health left.
    Keep in mind, when you fight near allies, they start exchanging blows with enemies around them.

    Rendezvousing with Munenobu Akiage
  • Defeat Takanao Kumagai to rescue Munenobu Akiage.
    During "Breaking through the Corridor", you should see a Gate Captain at the southern end of the corridor. Just before the last archer captain. Defeat this guy and go east and north to meet up with another ally. Getting near him should trigger the objective.

    Watch Your Back
  • Defeat Kunaishoyu Niizato to stop the ambush.
    After completing "The Genius's Gambit", the doors to the north of you unlock. Straight north of the "Wooden floored Room" is another large room. Go in to the very back of that room and wait for Nizato to show up to trigger this objective.

    This one shows up assuming everyone is still alive. After "The Genius's Gambit" is completed, this should trigger automatically.

    Boosting Morale
  • Defeat Hanbei Takanaka to stop the reinforcements.
    After completing "A Golden Opportunity", cross the bridge and approach Hanbei to trigger this objective.

    Punishment Most Foul

Battle of Kozuki Castle (Mori)










Objectives 10/10

    Conserving Strength
  • Defeat the surrounding enemy troops to rescue Motosuke Hiraga and Michiyoshi Kuchiba.

    Crushing Antlers

    I activated this by having Motonari slip around the north and into the garrison where Shikanosuke is located. This also triggered "Without Supplies" bonus objective soon after.

    Like a Moth to the Flame
  • Defeat Nobumori Sakuma and his allies.

    How the Oda Abandoned the Amago

    They Enemy from the South
  • Defeat Fujikata Hosokawa before he can advance.
    Some time after completing "Conserving Strength", you will pick up some dialogue from Kikkawa.
    He says something like, "When will the Amago learn to stop wasting our time?". After this, you will hear Motonari give dialgue about guarding the south.

    Do or Die
  • Defeat Mitsuhide Akechi and Hideyoshi Hashiba before they can retreat.
    This one can be tricky. After defeating Kazumasa and Niwa at the escape point, Hideyoshi will show up and Mitsuhide will come out of the garrison. Approach them to trigger the objective. If you complete "How the Oda Abandoned the Amago" first, you may have trouble reaching them in time. I had 2P Wait in the Oda Main Camp to keep the upper 2 targets busy. Then I used 1P to search and destroy Mitsuhide and HIdeyoshi.

Motonari Only Bonus Objectives
    A Fated Ending
  • Motonari Mori must defeat Shikanosuke Yamanaka with a Musou Attack.

This was the second bonus objective I ran into.

    The Enemy of My Enemy Is Also My Enemy
  • Defeat all the spy captains.
    After Sandayu shows up, Nobunaga will mention he has to fall back. After that, you will see an Iga spy captain show up just south of Sandayu's initial location.

    No One Can Stop Me
  • Defeat Nobutada Oda and his allies.
    When Nobunaga shows up for the first time, in the tower area, you'll hear dialogue from Yasuda about gathering reinforcements. This will make Nobutada show up on the southern most path.

  • Defeat Tsuneoki Ikeda and Ukon Takayama.
    During "Advancing the Line", after defeating Kuzuuji, you can run past him to the west. Just southwest of Kazuuji's garrison is another small garrison. If you go inside, you'll find two officers in there and it will trigger this objective.

    Breaking the Trigger
  • Defeat all rifle captains.
    Ok, once Kanbei and his guys come out, you'll have to act quickly. Once they've started advancing, rifle captains will show up at the two small central garrisons in the south.

    Revenge

    Raining Lead
  • Defeat all the rifle captains.
    There's a small garrison with a locked gate that is north of "Hiding in the Shadows" objective. If you enter, Kazzuji will mention that going any further is dangerous because of the riflemen up here.
    On the other side of the gate, just east of Toshimitsu Saito's garrison, you'll see troops appear when you complete "The Akechi Army Strikes". Approach these troops to trigger this objective.

    Traitors
  • Defeat Kiyohide Nakagawa and Ukon Takayama.
    Once you and Hideyoshi enter the castle complex in the northeast, some cowards at the main camp will cause trouble. You can have someone camp at these cowards, specifically Ukon Takayama, and use the other player to complete "The Akechi Army Strikes" and head to Mitsuhide's castle complex.
  • Once you are in the complex, some things will happen. Then the cowards will show up in Ukon Takayama's former position. This time as enemies. Approach them, and the dialogue will take some time to catch up. But eventually, it will trigger this objective.
  • If you do complete it this way, remember that "A Loyal Retainer's Resolve" has a time limit.

  • Kanbei Kuroda must defeat Yasuie Namikawa and Morinao Suwa to capture the garrison.

Match in Eiroku










Objectives 13/13
NOTE: The Objectives you unlock will depend on which character you select on your playthrough of this stage. Musou Mode and Free Mode will always give you 12/12, no matter which of the 4 generals you pick. So a full 13/13 result is not possible in a single playthrough. Even Free Mode will make you choose from the 4 generals.
NOTE2: If you're aiming to get all the Events in the game, you'll need to play this stage on Musou mode with all 4 generals.

    A Little Test
  • To win the first match, defeat the Ashikaga Army troops.

    Caught Up
  • To win the second match, defeat Nagamasa Azai and his allies.

    Find That Ninja!
  • To win the third match, find and defeat Mitsuki and Kazzuji Nakamura.
    This has a very generous time limit, so there's no need to rush.

    Uninvited Guests
  • Strike down Hisahide Matsunaga and Hisamichi Matsunaga for their sudden intrusion.

    Introducing the Vice-Shogun
  • Terumoto Mori and Motoharu Kikkawa are acting under Motonari Mori's orders. Defeat them.
    Will not appear if you are playing as Motonari.

    Taking Care of the Vice-Shogun
  • Katsuyori Takeda, Masakage Yamagata, and Masanobu Kosaka are acting under Shingen Takeda's orders. Defeat them.
    Will not appear if you are playing as Shingen.

    An Audience with the Vice-Shogun
  • Ieyasu Tokugawa, Hanzo Hatorri, and Tadakatsu Honda are acting under Yoshimoto Imagawa's orders. Defeat them.
    Will not appear is you are playing as Yoshimoto.

    To the Vice-Shogun
  • Toshimitsu Saito and his allies are acting under Kenshin Uesugi's orders. Defeat them.
    Will not appear if you are playing as Kenshin.

    Battle Flow
  • Defeat Mitsuhide Akechi, Nagamasa Azai, and Yoshikage Asakura consecutively.
    During "Caught Up" head south towards on of the named officers to trigger this objective. "Consecutively" just means one after the other in any order.

    An Offering for the Shogun
  • Defeat the thieves, and prevent the supply unit from being taken out.
    During "Caught Up", after you defeat 3 targets, Wanderer Leaders will show up directly north of Yoshiaki Ashikaga. Approach them to trigger this objective. They will be the only yellow enemies on the map.

    Self-Preservation
  • Defeat Hisahide Matsunaga without allowing Yoshiaki Ashikaga's health to drop below 50 percent.
    This objective triggered by intercepting Hisahide before he enters Yoshiaki's main camp. After completing "Find That Ninja!" and "Uninvited Guests" started. You can plan ahead by having 2P waiting at main camp, while 1P lands killing blows on Mitsuki and Kazzuji.

    In the Heat of the Moment
  • Defeat the Miyoshi Triumvirate, and prevent Yoshiaki Ashikaga from being taken out.
    After taking out one of the main generals that oppose the Vice-Shogun, Miyoshi will show up in the northwestern corner and make a run for Yoshiaki. Approach them to trigger this objective.

    Unparalleled Power
  • Put those enemy officers in their place by defeating them with a Musou Attack.
    After "Uninvited Guests" is completed, the main officers will show up around the map. Mori, Imagawa, Uesugi, or Takeda will show up, depending on who you picked for the stage. This should trigger automatically after they do. They will then start to send out their underlings. Finish any five of them with a Musou Attack to complete this objective.

Objectives 10/10
NOTE: Triggering the very last special objective is very tricky. I will try to explain as I go along how I got it to trigger for me. There may be other solutions, this is just mine.

    Capturing Maruyama Castle
  • Defeat Toshimitsu Saito and Hidemitsu Akechi to capture Maruyama Castle.
    The first Bonus Objective comes before this Primary Objective. We do not want to complete this objective right now. Leave Toshimitsu alone and proceed to the 2nd bonus objective. Come back to this objective once you've done 2 things. First, complete the bonus objective "A Ninja Provokes" and all the bonus objectives before it. Secondly, defeat all the enemy officers except for Toshimitsu Saito and Hidemitsu Akechi. Once you've completed these 2 things, complete this primary objective by defeating these two.
  • After you've completed this objective, "Kazuuji's Ambush" will probably already be triggered.
    Ignore it for now. What we want to do is find Hanzo. If you look on your Log, you should see that directly west of Maruyama Castle are 3 green boxes to search for Hanzo's location. Do so to trigger the bonus objective "Hometown Showdown".

    Capturing Hijiyama Castle
  • Defeat Nagahide Niwa and Kazumasu Takigawa to capture Hijiyama Castle.
    After completing the bonus objective "Opening the Hijiyama Castle Gates", proceed inside to trigger this primary objective. Go ahead and defeat both these guys to complete this objective.
    Afterwards, we want to wait for Hisahide to show up and then go east toward Mitsuki.

    Unmasking the Illusion
  • Defeat Mitsuki to stop Hisahide Matsunaga's phantom from disappearing.
    This should trigger automatically after defeating Takigawa and Niwa. Go over to Mitsuki and defeat her and defeat Junkei Tsutsui on the way. Again, this objective is timed.
    Afterwards head north toward Nobunaga's position to trigger some dialogue. Three officers will show up in the northeast. This will trigger another bonus objective, "A Ninja Provokes".

    Kazuuji's Ambush
  • Defeat Kazuuji Nakamura and his allies, and prevent Hisahide Matsunaga from being taken out.
    This should have triggered automatically after "A Ninja Provokes" is completed.
  • You should have completed the Primary Objectives "Capturing Hijiyama Castle", "Unmasking the Illusion", and "Capturing Maruyama Castle".
  • You should have completed the Bonus Objectives "Opening the Maruyama Castle Gates", "Opening the Hijiyama Castle Gates", "A Ninja Provokes", and "Hometown Showdown".
  • Now complete this objective. Hisahide should retreat temporarily. Hopefully after a bit, you'll see the message "Hioki Shrine Gate opened", and the bonus objective "Nemesis" will trigger.

    Defeat Mitsuhide
  • Defeat Mitsuhide Akechi
    After Hisahide ambushes Nobunaga, you'll see Mitsuhide rush out of his garrison. Just approach him to trigger this.

    Opening the Maruyama Castle Gates
  • Escort the fireball squadron to the construction point without defeating the Maruyama Castle Gatekeeper Captain.
    Well, this is the first mission you receive. You're going to want to escort Kamonnosuke Taya to the gatekeeper captain that is just north of his position. It's important to let him attack the gatekeeper to get the fire attack cutscene and complete the objective. Afterwards, the gatekeeper captain will flee and the gate to Murayama Castle will open and let you trigger the first primary mission.

    Opening the Hijiyama Castle Gates
  • Defeat the surrounding enemy troops without defeating the Hijiyama Castle Gatekeeper.
    Hijiyama Castle is the central garrison with a "C" shape around it. It houses the weapon box of this stage also. During "Capturing Maruyama Castle" primary objective, run past Toshimitsu and north of Ujisato Gamo to trigger this bonus objective. It is a timed objective. Be sure you have no contact with the gatekeeper captain. After completing this bonus objective, continue to avoid Toshimitsu. Do NOT complete "Capturing Maruyama Castle" yet. Proceed inside Hijiyama Castle.

    A Ninja Provokes
  • Defeat Tsuneoki Ikeda, Yoritaka Hachiya, and Nagamasa Asano.
    After you go to the northeastern garrison to taunt Nobunaga, these guys will show up nearby and trigger this bonus objective. Again, it's a timed objective.

    Hometown Showdown
  • Defeat Hanzo Hattori.
    You should have just completed the primary objective "Capturing Maruyama Castle". And you should be ignoring "Kazuuji's Ambush". Check your log to see the three locations to the west you need to check to find Hanzo. He should show up at the last place you check and trigger this bonus objective. After completing this bonus objective, you should have 3 Primary and 4 Bonus Objectives completed. And 1 Primary triggered but uncompleted. After verifying all that, go towards Kazuuji and defeat his ambush.

    Nemesis
  • Defeat Nobunaga Oda
    If you've been able to follow this guide, you might get this bonus objective to trigger. We needed to get Hisahide in good shape to ambush Nobunaga to get this to trigger. So congrats if you got it on the first try. Don't forget to approach Mitsuhide to trigger the final primary objective.

    Fleeing the Battlefield
  • Prevent Oichi and Nagamasa Azai from rendezvousing.
    Taking out Katsuiie Shibata will open up the gate to the west and allow you to catch up with Oichi that way. I'm not sure if the other officers must be defeated also. Either way, it's the alternative path is really long.

    Rebellion at Odani Castle
  • Defeat Kagetsune Asakura and Kagetake Asakura to rescue Hideyoshi Hashiba.
    After defeating one of the targets for primary objective "All Eyes on Me", you should see an ambush spring at your main camp. Hurry over there to trigger this objective.

    Taking Advantage
  • Defeat the enemy troops in the Central Garrison to lower the enemy's morale.
    Just to the west of Kunisada Mitamura's initial position is a large round, open area. After Mitsuhide shows back up, and "Showdown with Yoshikage" triggers, go there. Nobunaga should yell out and trigger this bonus objective.

    Toshiie in Trouble
  • Defeat Naotsune Endo to aid Toshiie Maeda.
    Once you defeat two targets of "Slaying the Demon Shibata", you'll notice Endo gets some dialogue. Then he comes out of his garrison and heads for Toshiie. Mitsuki will give you some extra dialogue to try and get your attention too. So go help the guy out to trigger this objective.

    Hanbei's Brilliant Scheme
  • Protect the messengers to execute the plan.
    During the "Getting Out of Trouble" objective, Hanbei will send out three messengers. Approach any of them to trigger this objective. The messengers will go to nearby forts and just stand there.
    You must protect these guys until the time limit expires.

Noh Only Bonus Objectives
    From a Chrysalis
  • Noh must defeat Hidemura Hori and Masamoto Azai to advance the front line.
    After "Showdown with Yoshikage" is completed, the north central gates will open up. This should allow Noh to approach Hori to get this objective to trigger.

    The Butterfly Soars
  • Noh must defeat Magoichi Saika with a Cooperative Musou Attack.
    Once you defeat Nagamasa, Magoichi will show up. He will start traveling north to an escape point. So cut him off with Noh to trigger this objective. And good luck. Noh's musou is hit and miss on the best days. Coop musou moreso.

    Just outside the Oda Main Camp
  • Defeat all the spear captains protecting the Oda Army Main Camp.
    During "The Koga Ninja's Ambush", you'll hear some dialogue from a spear captain. It shows him in the area directly west from the garrison we just got locked up in. It's also just north of the Oda Main Camp. When you get free, approach them to trigger this objective.

    Azai Army Reinforcements
  • Defeat Narimasa Sassa and Morinari Ando, and prevent Hidetoshi Onogi from being taken out.

    West of 2P starting position, you can see Kunisada Mitamura. Further west still is the area Oichi needs to approach during "Raid on Kyogokumaru". You should get some dialogue from her and this bonus objective should trigger.

Yoshikage Only Bonus Objectives
    What Is Strength
  • Yoshikage Asakura must defeat Mitsuhide Akechi.

    After "Toshimitsu's Ambush" has started, Toshiie should show up in the southeastern area. Approach him with Katsuiie. Katsuiie's asks him, "Be a good man and take two steps to the left would you?". I liked that one.

    Death from Above
  • Defeat all the archer captains on the cliff to assist your allies' advance.
    After "Eyewitness" is completed, Takakage opens up the gate at the south central area. This gate will trap you. This will then open the northern gate where you saved Michihisa. Send the other player west through that gate, then south. You should be above where you fought the rifle captains in "To Save A Friend". You should find archer captains here and the objective should trigger. If you try to break through Terumoto, Ukita will show up in the northwest corner and march for Kozuki Castle.

    Indomitable Spirit
  • Prevent Naoie Ukita and Tadaie Ukita from invading Kozuki Castle.
    During "Trap", let the untrapped player trigger and complete "Death from Above". Then have them Wait in the northwest corner of the map. Then switch to your trapped player and complete "Trap".

Objectives 11/11
NOTE: "I Will Stop the Reinforcements!" and "Reinforcements from the Cliff" are interchangeable missions. With playable Tadakatsu being the only trigger for "I Will Stop the Reinforcements!". The other mission is default.
NOTE2: I've listed "I'll Protect Her" as an Ieyasu Only objective because I cannot trigger it in free mode without him. The objective may be limited to story mode only. More testing is needed to know for sure, but I'm not gonna worry with it.

    Buying Time
  • Defeat the Takeda Army soldiers.

    Bringing Momentum to the Takeda
  • Defeat Motonobu Okabe, Tomokiyo Imafuku, and Yoshimasa Kiso.

    Be very careful here. Do not complete this objective until you have everything else done. After this objective is complete, Sandayu will make a run for it. And you have to drop everything and go after him.

    Reinforcements from the Cliff
  • Work with Tadakatsu Honda to stop the Takeda Army reinforcements by defeat Mitsukata Nagasaka.
    Some time before you complete "Boiling Point", have a player loop around the southwest and approach the garrison with Mitsukata inside it. This should trigger this objective as long as Tadakatsu is not a playable character.

    A Tokugawa Retainer
  • Defeat Chubei Tomioka, and prevent Yasutada Matsudaira from being taken out.
    Remember that lone, single yellow dot in the southern garrison? Once you've completed "Sena's Wounds", he will head out from the southern garrison to the next garrison above him. When he arrives, a Momochi officer will appear at the gate and try to kill him. This should trigger this objective.
    Now....you are able to damage both yellow and red enemies. So very carefully try to fight off the red enemy while keeping the yellow Yasutada from harm. Simple, yes?

    Reluctant Conquest
  • Defeat Kazumasa Ishikawa and Tadatsugu Ina to capture the Nobuyasu Army Garrison.
    Approach these officers on the east side of the central battlefield. During or after "Bringing Momentum to the Takeda", it should trigger this objective. This is also timed.

Tadakatsu Only Bonus Objectives
    I Will Stop the Reinforcements!
  • Tadakatsu Honda must defeat Mitsukata Nagasaka to stop the Takeda Army reinforcements.
    You should trigger this at the very beginning of the stage if Tadakatsu is a playable character.

Ieyasu Only Bonus Objectives
    I'll Protect Her
  • During "Sena's Wounds", you'll see the targets gathering around Sena. Approach them and there should be some dialogue. Eventually this objective should trigger. You just have to keep Sena over 50 percent health until the end of the stage. You should get a warning when she dets down to three quarters health.
    I've listed this as an Ieyasu Only objective because I cannot trigger it in free mode without him.
    The objective may be limited to story mode only. More testing is needed to know for sure, but I'm not gonna worry with it.

Oichi's Getting Hitched










Objectives11/11
Objectives without Oichi 10/10

NOTE: Maybe not go to Mitsuki for advice. At all. For any reason. SW4 Noh and Sena would wreck that.....girl. But more importantly, there's snow.

    The Art of Cleaning
  • Defeat the enemy troops to hone your cleaning skills.

    The Art of Laundry
  • Defeat Hanzo Hattori and Tadakatsu Honda to hone your laundry skills.

    The Art of Cooking
  • Defeat Toshiie Maeda and Shikanosuke Yamanaka to hone your cooking skills.

  • Defeat Katsuiie Shibata and his allies.

    Wild Woman

    Trigger by approaching him in southeast after he shows up.

    Walls Have Ears, Garrisons Have Ninjas
  • Defeat the spy captains to prevent them reporting back.
    You'll hear Sena mention "a bad feeling" about the southern garrison. Go inside to trigger.

    Rice Ball Seduction
  • Escort the supply captains to the western garrison.
    To trigger this, wait for "Art of Persuasion" to trigger first. Then return to the garrison you fought Toshiie in. This should trigger some dialogue and the supply captain that needs escorting. A successful mission will net you....the fabulous Ashikage duo on your team.......>.>

    Pincer Operation
  • Defeat Hanbei Takenaka, Sadakatsu Murai, and Hidemasa Hori to prevent reinforcements from arriving.
    Before defeating Toshiie's group, hit "UP" on Dpad. Then hit "Triangle" to change "Free" to "Wait".
    Then send the crosshair to the easternmost X closed gate. This allows you to ambush them as they come down the east side.



Oichi Only Bonus Objectives
    A Daimyo's Wife
  • Oichi must defeat Nagamasa Azai with a Musou Attack.

**LoL here at the end. Approaching Nobunaga with Mitsu or Noh just pisses him off and sends him into hyper mode. Ashikage pulls out the trump card on Shibata. "How can you proudly call yourselves warriors when you're cravenly swarm around these women?" Jealous much?
Battle for the Legendary Hot Springs







Objectives 12/12

    Hot Spring Hunt
  • Nagamasa Azai and Yasuke are trying to the first ones in the hot spring. Defeat them.

    If you approach around Nagahide Niwa, you should see Tadakatsu show up and this objective trigger.

    Where Is My Father?
  • Defeat Katsuyori Takeda and all the shield captains to extract information from them.
    A bit after Kenshin and Shingen show up, Katsuyori will show up also. He'll come from the garrison just south of Hisamasa Azai's position. Have someone approach him to get the objective to trigger.

    Miyoshi Triumvirate

The Strongest Right-Hand Man









Objectives 12/12
NOTE: The objective "To Earn the Title of Right-Hand Man" is interchangeable with all the character only bonus objectives. In other words, to trigger "To Earn the Title of Right-Hand Man", you have to play in Free Mode as someone other than the 4 characters in the character only bonus objectives. I don't want to admit how long it took me to figure that out :P

    Trial: Wisdom
  • Prevent Nagahide Niwa and his allies from infiltrating the main camp.
    After you switch to Yoshimitsu, two more officers will appear. One on each side. On Toshimitsu's side, he appears directly south of the main camp, and you have to rush to get to him. On 1P's side, he appears to the west of the main camp there.

    Trial: Courage
  • Defeat Yoshitatsu Saito and Fujihide Mitsubuchi without being injured.
    When doing this objective, it tells you when you receive a hit from the enemy. But it doesn't immediately fail you. Seems weird to me.

    Trial: Battle
  • Defeat the enemy troops without harming the allied troops entrusted to you by your lord.
    Enemies will show up at various gates. Defeat the enemy troop number before your allies are diminished. There's a bar in the gameplay status that tells you how they're doing.

    Trial: Restraint
  • Reach the Southern Garrison in second place.
    So with this one, four ally officers show up. There will also be four enemy officers blocking their way, one enemy for each ally. So pick a pair, defeat the enemy, then follow them to the southern garrison.

    Trial: Lord
  • Defeat all the right-hand officers before your lord's health drops below 50 percent.

    The Greatest Strategy
  • Defeat Motonobu Okabe and Katsuyori Takeda.
    During the "Battle" objective, the gate in front of these two will open. Approach them before you finish "Battle" to trigger this objective.

    To Earn the Title of Right-Hand Man
  • Defeat Hanzo Hattori with a combo count of 2000 or higher.
    As long as the 4 character listed below are not playable, you should get this objective. This is like the default objective when you do not have the character specific ones available. Except it's hidden in free mode.

    The Amago Clan's Righ-Hand Man
  • Prevent Shikanosuke Yamanaka from reaching the target point.
    During "Restraint" objective, Shikanosuke will show up in the center north. Approach him to trigger this objective.

Hanbei Only Bonus Objectives
    Hideyoshi's Right-Hand Man
  • Hanbei Takanaka must defeat Kazuuji Nakamura and Kanbei Kuroda consecutively.
    These guys appear during "Battle". Same as the other iterations of this objective. You just need to defeat the targets one after the other.

Katsuiie Only Bonus Objectives
    Nobunaga's Right-Hand Man
  • Katsuiie Shibata must stop Nobuyuki Oda and Toshiie Maeda from joining forces.
    These two will show up in two separate locations. Similar to Takakage's version of this objective.
    The actual text describing it on the gameplay screen is a bit strange. Just ignore it.

Takakage Only Bonus Objectives
    Motonari's Right-Hand Man
  • Takakage Kobayakawa must defeat Motoharu Kikkawa and Terumoto Mori with a Musou Attack.
    This one is pretty straightforward. These two will appear in two different locations during "Battle". Just be sure to keep Toshimitsu out of the way of your fight.

Tadakatsu Only Bonus Objectives
    Ieyasu's Right-Hand Man
  • Tadakatsu Honda must defeat Hanzo Hattori with a combo count of 2000 or higher.
    Tadakatsu Honda must be playable to trigger this. After you complete "Battle", Hanzo will show up in the east and this objective should trigger.
Turning the Tables
A.K.A. Here's a chance to use all the clones!
















Objectives 14/14
NOTE: This stage has a weird thing going on. First of all, the objectives are in pairs. For instance, "In Search of Nobunaga" is interchangeable with "Where is Nobunaga?". Playable Nobuyuki and Dosan are needed to trigger "In Search of Nobunaga", while the other objective is default.

    In Search of Nobunaga
  • Defeat Hisahide Matsunaga and Yasuke.
    This objective will only trigger if you're playing as Nobuyuki and Dosan.

    Where is Nobunaga?
  • Work with Nobuyuki Oda and Dosan Saito to defeat Hisahide Matsunaga and Yasuke.
    Playing as Nobuyuki or Dosan will not trigger this objective.

    The Bystander's Defeat
  • Defeat Oichi and Noh.
    The objective will only trigger when playing as Yoshiaki.

    A Coward's Defeat
  • Prevent Noh and Oichi from approaching Yoshiaki Ashikaga. (Those Dreadful Women lmao)
    Oh Yoshiaki. You're a coward no matter what time warp gaiden we find ourselves in. It's kind of reassuring really. Anyway, after defeating about 450 troops, Noh and Oichi will appear from the middle western gate. Approach them to trigger this objective. Playing as Yoshiaki will not trigger this objective.

    The Struggling Novice
  • Defeat Motonari Mori and Magoichi Saika.
    The objective will only trigger when playing as Katsuyori or Terumoto.

    The Struggling Successor
  • Work with Katsuyori Takeda and Terumoto Mori to defeat Motonari Mori and Magoichi Saika.
    At some point in this whole mess, Magoichi will show up in the north central region. Approach them to trigger this objective. Playing as Katsuyori or Terumoto will not trigger this objective.

    Fighting Instincts
  • Defeat Mitsuki and Sandayu Momochi.
    This objective will only trigger when playing as Yoshiatsu or Motoharu.

    Relentless Fighting Spirit
  • Work with Yoshiatsu Saito and Motoharu Kikkawa to defeat Mitsuki and Sandayu Momochi.
    I'm not sure exactly when this happens. I think around 1800 KOs. You'll get a notification that Mitsuki has shown up. You need to approach them to trigger this objective. Playing as Yoshiatsu or Motoharu will not trigger this objective.

    The Earnest Retainer
  • Defeat Yoshimoto Imagawa and Yoshiaki Ashikage.
    This objective will only trigger when playing as Motonobu or Fujihide.

    Single-Minded Loyalty
  • Work with Motonobu Okabe and Fujihide Mitsubuchi to defeat Yoshimoto Imagawa and Yoshiaki Ashikage.
    I really have no idea what is triggering these any more, but at around 2700 KOs, Yoshimoto shows up wherever Okabe is. Yoshiaki shows up wherever that other guys is. Approach them to trigger this objective. Playing as Motonobu or Fujihide will not trigger this objective.


    The Lord's Reward
  • Escort the supply captain to the central battlefield.
    Ok guys, bear with me. Since the beginning of the stage, our fearless leader Yoshiaki has been on his way across the southern part of the map. Once he gets to the southmost central gate, he will comment on supply captains appearing. And while you may be inclined to believe the supply captains are next to Yoshiaki, they are not. They are in fact in the northeast corner, just south of the enemy main camp. So go up there and approach the supply captain to trigger this objective.

    Uninvited Lady
  • Prevent Sena from reaching the escape point.
    After I completed "The Struggling Successor" and got over 2k KOs, Sena shows up just north of the southeastern garrison. She sees there's no Tokugawa forces here, and makes a bee line for a gate just west of the enemy main camp. She's very agile, so good luck.

    Full Power on Display
  • Defeat the enemy troops with a Musou Attack.
    This will trigger.........at some point during this stage........because........reasons. Anyway, you have 2 minutes to get 200 Musou KOs.

    The Real Winner
  • Defeat all the enemy officers.
    So.....try to defeat all the enemy officers before Nobunaga and Mitsuhide show up. Also, try to make sure none of the allies retreat in fear. I did this by camping at the northeast and southwest camps just after I completed "Full Power on Display". Then after defeating Nobunaga, then Mitsuhide, Yoshitatsu will mouth off a bit and all officers on the map will turn red. Then this objective will trigger.
How to Be a Warrior










Objectives 12/12
NOTE: I'm pretty sure order does not matter. There's no hidden objectives. So have fun with it. But in case you have any trouble, my first playthrough went like this: "Protection Training", "Martial Arts Training", "Mercenary Training", "Plant Training", "Street Smarts Training", then circled back around and got "Elegance Training". Next, "Focus Training", "Nerve Training", "Diversity Training", then circle back around and got "Supreme Ruler Training". Next, "Charm Training" and "Bond Training.

    Protection Training
  • Defeat Master Shingen Takeda to prevent Nagahide Niwa and his allies from being taken out.

    Elegance Training
  • Defeat Master Hisahide Matsunaga to obtain the treasured teapot.

    Martial Arts Training
  • Defeat Master Toshimitsu Saito with a combo count of 1500 or higher.

    Mercenary Training
  • Defeat Master Magoichi Saika.
    Timed for 1 minute.

    Plant Training
  • Defeat Master Sena inside the Wooden-floored room to protect the plants.
    Once you trigger this mission, you first have to go south and defeat Kagemochi Amakasu. This will open up the door to the Wooden-floored room. Then just bait Sena into it and defeat her.

    Street Smarts Training
  • Escort the supply captains to get to the target point to score points with the mentors.

    Supreme Ruler Training
  • Defeat Master Yoshimoto Imagawa with a Musou Frenzy Attack to get one step closer to becoming supreme ruler.

    Focus Training
  • Defeat the real Master Hanzo Hattori without defeating all his doubles.
    The wording is "all his doubles" here. This means as long as there's 1 fake left when you defeat the real Hanzo, you win. I think anyway lol. IF you visit all the Hanzos, it should be apparent which one is the real one. I think you guys will get it right.

    Nerve Training
  • No matter where he is, defeat Shikanosuke Tamanaka.
    After you complete "Focus Training", Shikanosuke will pop up with some dialogue about hiding weapons. Turns out if you go to the very southeastern corner, you'll find him there.......apparently in the privy.......?!

    Charm Training
  • Defeat Master Oichi without defeating the Naginata captains.

    Diversity Training
  • Prevent Master Sandayu Momochi from reaching the retreat point.
    LoL....love it. Opening the easternmost yellow X will get Sandayu to show up. He will then flee north and west and his cohorts will appear to block your path.

    Bond Training
  • Worth with the Three Arrows to defeat Master Motonari Mori.
    Be careful, these Mori are wet paper. You've probably already had them freak out in the dialogue before Motonari even showed up.

This guide is fantastic!
I do have a question that always pop into my mind ever since I got into the musou train:

How do you folks find out these requirements for the Rare Weapons?

I always have to look up a guide, but I have no idea where the information originates!! haha Is it trial and error by the community? Is it a guide book? Is it somewhere in the games that I'm not finding out?

Just a deep seated curiosity. Again, INCREDIBLE work, kudos to everyone!
Soul Seeker 9 Aug, 2023 @ 11:40am 
Love the guide, super useful!

One thing I noticed on 'Battle of Kozuki Castle (Mori),' objective 'A Fated Ending' doesn't seem to trigger if you fail 'A Rude Awakening.'
Frost 27 Jan, 2023 @ 9:22pm 
Amazing guide! Saved a lot of time!)))
Found one mistake - in order to get Hanzos rare weapon, stage Battle of Mikatagahara (Tokugawa) need to be compleated by Tadakatsu, not Hanzo.
Thank you for making this guide!:steamhappy:
Jazzwind 18 Sep, 2022 @ 6:18pm 
Battle for Odani Castle?

I can't get through any of these gates to open, all Red X's. Everything is dead, but can't get through any gates. What am I missing?
MikePrime13 18 May, 2022 @ 10:54pm 
Quick feedback on Invasion of Suruga: the Imagawa Uijzane Bonus, in my experience, can only be triggered by Sena:

(1) First time playing I triggered it by Sena, but went with Interim Save and it erased my progress. When I defeated Ujizane with Takeda Shingen, it did not trigger the bonus mission.

(2) I tried free mode using Shingen and Katsuyori combo, did not trigger after trying multiple times.

(3) I tried free mode using Shingen and Ieyasu combo, did not trigger after trying twice.

(4) I tried free mode with Sena/Ieyasu, and the moment Sena made contact with Ujizane, bonus mission instantly triggered.
SotiCoto 20 Mar, 2022 @ 2:09am 
Oh, and not that it has anything to do with this guide, but I'd like to say fǔck the Inseparable Bonds achievement. The grind is insane. Absolutely insane.
SotiCoto 15 Mar, 2022 @ 12:33pm 
DLC stage "Who is the Smartest in the Land" has a potential "Hanbei's Last Question -3" for which the answer is Nagahide Niwa.

I'm not sure what exactly triggers which of Hanbei's questions, but it might be the characters chosen.
bruticus0  [author] 22 Sep, 2021 @ 8:11am 
Na, these aren't like the older games. All you'd have to do for MItsuki is do Oda 3-2, Anegawa. Have Mitsuki in your team, using her regular weapon. Then get S rank on all categories. This doesn't have to be done all at once, but it helps a lot. Because there's no way to keep up with which categories you've S ranked and which you haven't.

Next, you'd do Yasuke on Oda 6-2 and do the same. You should see the weapon pop up at the results screen. All this needs to be played on Hard or greater difficulty too.

The S ranks are not tied to any objectives. You can actually go through the whole game without getting them all if you want. Good luck.
DxGGG | Megalomancer 21 Sep, 2021 @ 7:19pm 
do you know if in order to get the half of a weapon you have to complete the objective using that character, or do they only have to be one of your two playable characters? i.e. if I have to do it as mitsuki and it's "kill magoichi", can I go with nobunaga and mitsuki both and have nobunaga kill magoichi, or does mitsuki have to land the killing blow as well?

thanks for the guide, it's REALLY good!
bruticus0  [author] 22 Aug, 2021 @ 7:53pm 
That's great. I just got the achievement last night. The main part of the guide is done. Just DLC left to do. I may go over some of the stages again to explain them better. At first, I thought I'd just list the objectives. The more I did, the more I ended up explaining them. Anyway, it's really cool making something people get good use out of. If I'm still alive for SW6, I'll do one for that too lol. Thanks again.
