At the age of twenty-one, Lu Xun entered the service of Sun Quan. His brilliance earned him position as Senior Civil Advisor, Commander of Farming at Hai Chang and Commandant Who Establishes Our Prestige. Lu Xun advised Sun Quan to pacify the revolt of the Shan Yue people in the south and was appointed Commander of the Right to do so. Boyan’s first military assignment was a great success and Sun Quan held him in high regard. When Lü Meng was assigned to take back Jing Zhou from Guan Yu, Lu Xun was assigned as field advisor. Lu Xun knew exactly how to trick the proud Guan Yu into underestimating him and together with Lü Meng annihilated Guan Yu’s forces and conquered Nan Jun. Boyan was then appointed General of the Border Guard and titled Lord of Huating. In the year AD 222, as the Great Commander-in-Chief, Lu Xun commanded the Wu army in Jing Zhou to withstand Liu Bei’s main army. Though Wu’s officers were worried, Lu Xun’s character stood firm and he explained to his men how to win the battle, even with inferior numbers. Boyan’s strategy was a success and delivered a crushing defeat to the Shu Emperor. In that same year, Lu Xun repelled the invasion of Wei and was honored by Sun Quan as General Who Upholds the State, Lord of Jiangling and Protector of Jing Zhou. When Zhou Fang initiated his plot to lure Wei into entering Wu, Lu Xun was appointed Great General Who Upholds the State and Great Commander-in-Chief Who Pacifies the North by Sun Quan and led his armies against Cao Xiu. After Sun Quan ascended the throne and became Wu Emperor, Lu Boyan was appointed as Senior General, with the order to defend the capital Wuchang and aid Sun Quan’s heir. Sun Quan had a great trust in Lu Xun and respected his wisdom. Boyan kept all the important seals of the state, so that all documents had to be handed onto Lu Xun to be read and sealed. In the year 244 A.D., Lu Xun was appointed Prime Minister of Wu. His reign as Prime Minister was very short as he died in the next year. Sun Quan titled him Impressive Lord Posthumously. ======================================================================== 3) Moves ======================================================================== S = Square, T = Triangle SSSSSS: 1 slash with his left sword and 2 with his right then 3 more slash's with both swords. T: Fire's some sort of energy ball from his sword (more if orb is equip). ST: Lu Xun slash's both swords into the air. SST: Go's into a ball and spins round with swords. SSST: Jumps and slash's then slash's again when he lands. SSSST: Lu Xun spins into the air taking enemy's with him. SSSSST: Lu Xun makes two blade like bits of energy come from his swords. Running Attack: Lu Xun puts his sword's out tot he sides. Jumping Attack: A mid air slash with both swords. Jumping Charge: He dive's into the ground. Musou Attack: Lu Xun spins round with his swords. True Musou: Basically this is the same as his regular musou, only with an added fire element and some extra attacks. Horse regular attack: Repeated slashes to the left and right. Horse charge attack: Just a stronger version of his normal. Horse Musou: Faster regular horse attacks until your musou gauge drains completely. ======================================================================== 4) Unlocking ======================================================================== In Dynasty Warriors 4 you have to complete chapter four in Musou mode. In Xtream Legends he is already unlocked. ======================================================================== 5) 10th Level Weapon ======================================================================== === Lu Xun === Name: Falcon Power: +52 Level: Battle of Yi Ling Must be on Hard mode Must have Level 9 weapon Can be on Free or Musou Mode Can only be done with Dynasty Warriors 4 Requirements:Make sure Zhu Ran alive until the fire attack, the best thing to do is go to where he appears and wait there, when he arrives stay by him and protect him. Then enter and pass through the stone maze in under 3 minutes(easier if you use a fast horse), after that you will get the 10th weapon messege(you must also finish the level). If you dont have DW4 you can do it like this in Legend mode: (this is from Muni's FAQ) Weapon : Falcon Attack : +52 Method : Meet with Huang Cheng Yan in under 6 minutes. Learned Falcon message. Muni Comment : reminder to self, draw a txt version map here before then, go here for an html map: http://www.geocities.com/muninoshinyu/shinobu/ssm3/mwu10.html Here's the route to go: A3 IN -> A4 -> B4 -> B5 -> C5 -> D5 -> defeat the Guard Troop Captain. -> D4 -> eliminate the Ambush Troop. -> D5 -> C5 -> B5 -> B4 -> A4 -> A3 -> B3 -> A3 -> A2 -> B2 -> B1 -> defeat the Guard Troop Captain. -> B2 -> C2 -> C3 -> C4 -> C5 -> defeat Chen Shi and Zhang Bao. -> B5 -> B4 -> A4 -> A3 -> A2 -> defeat Guan Xing and Zhao Yun. -> B2 -> C2 -> meet with Huang Cheng Yan -> C1 OUT. ======================================================================== 6) 11th Level Weapon ======================================================================== === Lu Xun === Name: Raptor Levle: Lu Xun's Legend mode Map: stone maze at Yi Ling Restrictions: No restrictions Must be on expert difficulty Must already have 10th weapon (All directions below are as seen in the mini-map.) 1.

Remember the path you took. 2. Upon killing the defence captain, a stone sentinel in your area will move, go there. There will be an ambush. Kill everyone there. 3. Message appears about some stone sentinels moving. Go to where the message points to. That should be the path you took from the entrance to bottom right corner that was blocked during step 2.

Costume 2 (6000): Same as his first but this time with an added colour of white. Costume 3 (20000): The first but without the hat. Costume 4 (20000): Same as number 3 but with the colour white in it. Costume 5 (60000): Dynasty Warriors 3 costume. Costume 6 (60000): Same as his fifth but pink. ======================================================================== 8) Recommended Equipment ======================================================================== The only bad thing about Lu Xun is his attack range, especially for his first 6 level weapons. Orb: I believe Vorpal is best. Mainly level 4, with it his C1 is deadly. Saddle: Any, what ever you feel like, I like to use the shadow saddle because you can't fall off. Items: Wind scroll- To extend his attack range. Turtoise Amulet-To increase his defence. Tiger Amulet-To increase is attack, very useful. Peacock Urn-More life, and the more life the better! Dragon Amulet-Gotta have Musou. Seven Star Sash-Very helpful on harder modes. ======================================================================== 9) Lu Xun Legend Stage ======================================================================== Battle of Yu Fu Bay (the same as getting the 11th weapon relly) 1.
