How to Save Guo Jia

Replay the Battle of Mt. Bailang

Yuan Shao

Saving Guo Jia is much simpler than saving Dian Wei but still requires speed. Follow these steps to ensure Guo Jia survives and fate is altered.

Do note that you can save Guo Jia even before the post-game. But, if you already finished the Battle of Mt. Bailang, then you can replay the mission through the Story Mode mechanic after beating the game once.

Capture All Bases to the West

Go Down the Western Route

As soon as the battle starts, rush westward and capture every base on the way to the western side of the map. If you've done this quick enough, Guo Jia will mention that everything is going according to plan.

Defeat Bailuan

Bailuan

At this point, Bailuan will appear on the west side of the map. Rush to this area and defeat him. You will know you have succeeded when he retreats from battle, Guo Jia comments about exceeding expectations, and you receive a Fate Altered notification on screen.

How to Beat Bailuan

Finish the Mission as Usual

Bailuan in Combat

After defeating Bailuan, proceed to finish the mission. You may need to rush to the southeast to rescue Cao Cao from a losing battle. Then, join Xu Huang's charge against Yuan Shang's Forces in the north, and defeat Bailuan again.

The mission will end after taking down Bailuan a second time. After a few cutscenes, Guo Jia should have his fate altered, and should survive his illness.

Rescuing Guo Jia Tips

Use Grade 7 or Stronger Weapons

Podao in Combat

To make the fights needed for saving Guo Jua easier, it is recommended to equip and use Grade 7 or stronger weapons, such as the ultimate weapons, obtainable in the post-game.

If you are having a hard time rescuing Guo Jia, we recommend lowering your game's difficulty to Historian. This way, you can defeat Bailuan and other enemies much faster!
