Lord of the Three Kingdoms Trophy

If you're having trouble getting the Lord of the Three Kingdoms trophy, try the following:

• Obtain the weapon Death's Whisper (Flute) on Reinforcements at Hefei at the Chaos difficulty setting.

• Obtain the weapon Dragon Fenghuang (Fan) on Battle of Mt. Xisai at the Chaos difficulty setting.

• Equip these two weapons with Officer Assassin (x2); Double Element (x1); Elemental Attack Up (x2); Horsemanship (x1); Combat Resistance (x1); Projectile Resistance (x2) and Flute Master (x1). Instead if 2x Projectile Resistance you can also equip a Range Weapon Up.

• Equip these two weapons, take a horse (preferably Red Hare, but Hex Mark and Shadow Runner are also fine) and go to battle.

• In battle press only TRIANGLE, while strafing on your horse.

You'll notice that, because of the previous Titles you've received, you'll drain life from the enemy and your attacks won't be blocked and do quite a lot of damage. With this set-up you can beat all Top Title challenges, even with rather weak characters.
