Battle of Baima and Yanjin walkthrough

1) Take the east route

Start by heading east, where you'll encounter Wang Xiu. Use Musou attacks and Battle Arts to take him down efficiently. Then, continue along the eastern route toward the northeastern base.

2) Secure the base

At the northeastern base, you'll face Guo Tu and a large force waiting outside. Use crowd-control tactics like fire volleys and encouragement to maintain momentum. After breaking through, head inside to confront Feng Ji. His resistance is stronger, so rely on combos and Battle Arts to clear the area.

3) Fiery Fortress and Cen Bi

As you progress, enemy forces will unleash a Fiery Fortress attack — a massive flaming volley from fortified defenses. Survive this onslaught and quickly pivot to defeating Cen Bi, who must be taken down within a limited time. Doing so lifts your allies' morale, giving you a crucial advantage for the rest of the battle.

4) The mysterious stranger

A mysterious figure will appear and head straight for Cao Cao, currently at point G in the center base. Before reaching him, you'll encounter Yan Liang near the northern base.

• Use Musou attacks, fire volleys, and Ascension to overpower Yan Liang.
• Finish him quickly and make your way to Cao Cao to intercept the mysterious stranger.

Once at Point G, take down both Yuan Tan and the stranger, securing Cao Cao’s safety and maintaining your momentum.

5) Final Challenge: Wen Chou and the chariot charge

1. Destroy two chariots within two minutes to stop the charge.
2. Swap to Zhang Liao and unleash Rage Mode for extra damage and control.

Finally, engage Wen Chou in a duel. Use every tool in your arsenal — Musou attacks, Battle Arts, and combos — to defeat him and secure victory.
