The item will appear around the top of map, slightly off center. If that was too long to do, just make sure Yue Ying sets up the ramp and that you kill Xu Zhu before the rear flank dies.
Electric Orbs
Electric Orbs are one of the worst Orbs. They give a lot of damage, but there is a 75% chance that the Orb will steal the points that the player gives you (weapon and regular), if the last attack was a T attack that is affected by an Orb.

Dim Sums and Musou Wines
This can only be done in Musou mode. Choose the Wu Kingdom and play until you reach "The Little Conqueror" tale. Choose Campaign for Wu Territory first and take the supply depot. Then, choose Unification of Jiang Dong. The Dim Sum is located on the top fort, to the left of the bottom entrance. The next one is located inside the bottom fort, to the left of the center building. The two Musou Wines are located inside the Elft fort, in the smaller center fort, at the bottom left corner, next to a guard watch tower. The other one is on the top fort, to the right of the bottom entrance.
Defense from Gate Captains
Go to a difficult level and let your Gate Captain get killed. A Defense +1 will appear.
Flip up after being knocked down or off a horse
After being knocked down or off a horse, quickly press [L] to flip up and get ready to attack or guard. This also works well when fighting in duels.
