Defend Xiapi Castle
Xiapi Castle is being stormed by Cao Cao's forces, led by Xiahou Dun. Thoughout the course of this mission, you must not lose control of Xiapi Castle and keep Guan Yu alive.
Fight Back Enemy Advances
The enemy will sporadically launch attacks to try and take Xiapi Castle. Keep an eye on the map and on the various prompts that pop up to track and intercept enemies where and when possible.
Defend the Floodgates
Sometime into the mission, Guan Yu will say that the enemy might try taking the Floodgates. He'll offer to split up and move to defend the floodgates, while you try and conquer bases on the Western side of the map.
Counter the Enemy Diversion
After splitting up and once Guan Yu arrives at the Eastern corner of the map, the enemy will spring a trap and focus its advance on Xiapi Castle's Main Gate while Guan Yu is preoccupied.
Wait for Cao Cao's Main Force to Arrive
At this point, you only have to hold out and prevent the enemy from taking Xiapi Castle's base until Cao Cao's main force arrives and triggers the mission completion phase.
Defense of Xiapi Rewards
Weapon Proficiency
Weapon Proficiency will be rewarded based on the weapon/s used in battle. Ranking up weapon proficiency raises Wanderer's level, and reaching certain levels will unlock new skill trees to spend skill points on.
Skill Points and Mount EXP
Skill points and Mount EXP are also awarded based on the number of enemies defeated and which Horse was used.
These rewards vary greatly depending on the Wanderer's performance during battle.
