Yukimura Sanada's 6th weapon is found on a challenging stage, but is simple to obtain. Simply clear the missions given to you on the Battle of Yamasaki and the weapon is yours. Just make sure no enemies are able to reach the mountain's summit and the rest will come naturally. The Rakan is a powerful weapon, making Yukimura especially formidable from horseback: Base Attack: 57 Element: Fire Life: +50 Attack: +65 Horse Attack: +67 Musou Charge: +65

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Access to the lower branch of Yukimura's storyline (note that clearing Story Mode with Shingen Takeda is a requirement for this)
Step1
To begin, import data from the original Samurai Warriors if you haven't done so already. Set the difficulty to "Chaos", or if you have purchased the special bonus available from the options menu that allows you to obtain Ultimate Weapons on Hard difficulty, you may set it to Hard instead.

Step2
Begin "Story Mode" - final weapons must be earned in Story Mode, not Free Mode, for all characters. Play as Yukimura Sanada and begin the Battle of Yamasaki stage.
Step3
If you normally equip Yukimura with a saddle, you may wish to forego that since you'll need to be killing several targets. I normally prefer Yukimura on horseback but I think with or without a horse, the difficulty of getting this weapon will be the same.

Other than that, just equip Yukimura with a good weapon and standard powerful items.
Step4
Proceed along either southern path as the stage begins. Defeat Katsuie Shibata and Nagahide Niwa, in either order, before either of them reaches the mountain summit.
Step5
Immediately after having defeated both opponents, even before the mission is declared a success, head south to the central path, occupied by Toshiie Maeda. Ignore him for now and charge past him to halt Keiji Maeda's ascent. Knock Keiji off his horse and defeat him before he reaches the blue X; if you fail this mission you'll have to start the stage over.
Step6
Once Keiji is out of the picture, head back north toward your main camp, defeating Toshiie Maeda along the way if you like. A fog will descend upon the mountain and you'll get a new mission, but ignore this for now.
Step7
Head for the cave entrance, and you should get out of the fog. Hideyoshi Hashiba should be nearby; defeat he before he enter your main camp.

His officer Hanbei Takenaka will retreat upon Hideyoshi's defeat, so you don't need to worry about him, but you may want to eliminate the nearby Kazumasu Takigawa for good measure.
Step8
The supply team will appear from the western-most stronghold deep inside the cave. It will head south; find it in the cave and defeat it for the weapon.
Step9
Head for Nobunaga Oda and defeat him to win the stage.
