and can transfer those items to the regular version of Dynasty
Warriors 3 through the memory card. Allowing for cross-game
compatibility between the two titles, you can also utilize Xtreme
Legends' "very hard" option in the original DW3 for an extra
difficulty challenge, and the edited bodyguard information as well.
-
Alternate Rare Ending Sequence: For each of the characters,
there is an alternate rare ending sequence which is more humorous
than the regular ending sequence, at the end of which is a
congratulatory fireworks display to congratulate the player, a
fireworks display which is not shown in regular ending
sequences.
There are 2
requirements to access these:
1}
each character must first have another character already complete
musou mode. For example, in order to trigger Meng Huo's
alternate rare ending, Zhu Rong must have already cleared Musou
Mode.
2} the
last level of each characters musou mode must be completed in under
15 minutes. In other words, to trigger Meng Huo's alternate
rare ending, you must first have cleared Musou Mode with
Zhu Rong, then during
Meng Huo's 7th final
Musou stage (Ru Nan), clear the stage in under 15 minutes. After
those elements are fulfilled, Meng Huo's Alternate Rare Ending
Sequence will be shown in the place of the regular ending sequence.
