Conquest Mode
Getting Started

3. PREPARE FOR BATTLE: Set Special Attacks, equip items, and prepare for battle.
4. COMPLETE THE STAGE: Make your way through the territory, conquering enemies and defeating the boss.
5. VIEW STATS FROM THE BATTLE: View statistics on your performance in the last battle, and view loot won from the enemy. This is also where your character will level up.
6. SAVE: Save your progress.
Conquer the land and achieve total domination. Play through the game again, retaining all your weapons, items, and even the experience (level) of that character. You may also unlock more playable characters to use as you conquer levels.
Character Selection
Select the warrior you wish to play as. This will begin a new game in Conquest mode. If you have previously saved data from another Conquest campaign, load that game instead to pick up where you left off.
There are 6 characters available initially. Complete the Conquest mode to unlock more playable characters.
Difficulty Selection
Select from Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty. The higher the difficulty level is, the more likely you are to find better items and weapons.
Stage Selection
Select the territory you wish to conquer. Each stage may have specific requirements you must fulfill in order to conquer it.
By conquering a territory, it becomes part of your own territory, extending your reach and unlocking new territories to conquer. Invading territories at certain times in the game may allow for different battles. You may also encounter special battles along the way that are triggered by certain conditions.
