Synopsis: Zhuge Liang's plans to mislead Cao Cao's army is being implemented. However, it is required that Cao Cao's attention is distracted. The distraction will come in the form of Xiao Qiao, the beautiful lady whom Cao Cao has a liking for. In order to proceed with the plan, Xiao Qiao agrees to find Cao Cao, and requires an escort to bring her to meet Cao Cao...
Side Quest: Luo Guanzhong - Xiao Qiao's Escort, Luo Guanzhong - Phase 4
Possible teams:
AOE team : Staff Main, Witch, Oracle, any tank/elementalist/ranged
Easy team: Any main, oracle, druid, sheriff (beast soul/ seth will catapult and sheriff)
Average team: Any main, princess, oracle, ranged (seth will catapult, princess' order set as high as possible)
Walkthrough: The npc Xiao Qiao will set off immediately on the first turn. Upgrade as you go (now with the new update, you no longer need to select the upgrade type). On the second turn of advancement you should start to see a group of mage and melee mobs. Beware of the flame trap in front of them, and do what it takes to wipe them out (beast's soul/seth will, or other tricks). ALWAYS DIVERT ATTENTION TO YOUR CHARS. Xiao Qiao is extremely fragile despite her love to pick fights. Do not let her get hit as much as possible. Thankfully at each cutscene she will heal up again.
After the group, allied units will start moving out with you as well. Head north and approach slowly, taking care not to hit the flame trap with your own units. This time it's a fortified outpost with a bunch of spears and enemy catapults. Aim the catapults first if you can. After clearing out this outpost, head slightly north to see a cutscene, followed by the task: Kill Xiahou Dun.
Continue further and you will approach a bridge and an allied barracks in front of it. Enemy mobs should still be attacking in the area at the moment, so wipe them out as soon as possible. In time, the barracks will spawn a few troops and the miniboss Kingdom Minstrel to aid you for the battle on the big bridge (i always love to hear this song when fighting here :) ). Move up the bridge, but draw Xiahou Dun to you by shooting at him (there's a net trap in front of him if you decide to move up to him). Xiahou Dun is as easy as he was in the previous TBS, so just kill him then proceed again. If you want to save time to clear the trap, you can either use a scroll or just let catapult spring the trap (net effect won't work on machines).
Once you've crossed the bridge, you will come to a fork. Ignore right (the one with summon gate) unless the mobs are attacking you. Clear the mobs on the left as much as you can. Depending on how much you moved in, you might hit another cutscene to kill the next boss. This puts you in 3 situations. 1. if there are mobs around still, she will attack the closest one. 2. if there are no mobs around, she will move towards the boss. 3 if the summon gate has released a new batch of mobs, she will turn her attention to them. Always look out for situation 3, because you might be fighting the boss when she's getting herself killed at the other side. If necessary, just wait a few turns to wipe out those mobs, then turn your attention to the boss.
Once the boss is down, you will have free reign to kill the melee and catapults on either side of the map. Xiao Qiao will just waste her time attacking the barricade, so you don't have to worry about her. It is advisable to kill both sides, as she might move towards them on the next cutscene. Once done, head towards the Sparrow Pavilion and kill the remainder mobs (again via AOE or beast's soul seth will catapult and sheriff). Be careful of the net trap at the centre in the space between the catapults and blowguns. Once you have cleared all of these, prepare your team to move out together to the north to kill the Pavilion Guard. This ensures that Xiao Qiao will not be distracted to attack the boss too (she can be dead in a couple of hits from the boss). When the boss is down, the game's finished :)
