While you may be quite familiar with Destiny of an Emperor for the NES,
you may not know that Capcom actually released three other titles in the
series (all available at kongming.net). This one, Destiny of an Emperor
for the Gameboy, shows much of the promise found in its older brothers.
Unfortunately, like its brothers, it is only available in Japanese.
We have created an English playguide to provide you with translations
of all important game menus and the ability to interact with shops and
wage successful battle (see below). While that is helpful, we have also
decided to go a step further, and provide you with this introductory
playguide. With this, you can get a head start on playing this game.

A quick-start introduction to Gameboy's Destiny of an Emperor.

1) Speak with Liu Bei's mother. She starts you off with 150 Gold.
2) Equip Liu Bei's copper sword. Press Select to bring up the status
screen, then choose the second option down on the left-hand column.
Choose the first option, choose Liu Bei (on the left-hand portion of
the screen), then choose the item highlighted by default. You have
just equipped a Copper Sword.
3) The villagers tell you about some Yellow Scarves to the west.
4) Visit the item shop (the southeastern building). Buy a few Stone
Remedies (the items that cost 10 Gold).
5) Go outside and save up a level or two. When wounded, you can heal with
a stone remedy (first option on second column in the game menu or first
option of second column in the personal actions of Liu Bei in battle),
or head to Xuzhou (just south of Luo Song Village) and stay at the inn
(just press confirm over and over again).
6) Save your game if you haven't done so already. Choose the third option
down in the second column of the main menu.
7) With a few levels under your belt, travel west to the fort.
Yellow Scarves Fortress
1) Battle Yellow Scarves Chieftan upon entry (Easy)
- Chieftan
- Bandit
- Bandit
Focus physical attacks on the Yellow Scarves Chieftan healing whenever
your life dips too low. When he falls, continue attacking the next
enemy in line until they all fall.
2) You cannot enter, so return to Luo Song Village.
Luo Song Village (2nd Visit)
Inn
Blacksmith
Merchant
1) Speak with the man standing west of the Item shop. He will join you
in the form of 50 Soldiers! Now, with an army, you can recruit Zhang
Fei and Guan Yu.
2) Save your game.
3) Travel southeast to Xuzhou Castle.
Xuzhou Castle

- Iron Sword 500
- Copper Spear 150
- Iron Spear 700
- Copper Axe 200
- Iron Axe 900
- Copper Bow 300
- Iron Bow 1100
Merchant
- "Equivalence" Remedy
- Tent
1) Buy two Copper Spears if you can afford them.
2) Enter the northwestern most building. This is Zhang Fei's home. Speak
with Zhang Fei inside. Because you have defeated the Yellow Scarves
Chieftan, and because you now have a small force, he will join your
cause to destroy the Yellow Scarves and uphold the Han.
3) Equip Zhang Fei with a Copper Spear.
4) Exit Xuzhou and follow the trail east to another village.
Eastern Village
Inn
Blacksmith
- Copper Shield 100
- Copper Helmet 120
- Steel Helmet 250
- Cloth Clothes 30
- Army Clothes 60
- Hide Cap 40
- Ceramic Shield 50
1) Enter the central building to find Guan Yu. Speak with him. Because
his wishes are as your own, and because you are now building up a
force, he will agree to join you. You now have Liu Bei, Guan Yu
and Zhang Fei!
2) Equip Guan Yu with a Copper Spear.
3) At your option, purchase some copper-grade equipment here. It is best
not to blow too much money unless you have some to burn, and it is also
wise to avoid the cheap gear here as you will soon come across some
extra money for your expenses.
4) Return to Luo Song Village.
Luo Song Village (3rd Visit)
Inn
Blacksmith
Merchant
1) Return to Liu Bei's mother. She will express her delight now that
you have formed an army and found good friends. An oath is discussed,
and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei exit and walk to the northeastern
ritual area where they swear an oath of brotherhood.
2) Speak with the old man who is presently blocking the town entrance.
He will suggest that you join Tao Qian's volunteer troops!
3) Save your game if you haven't already.
4) Travel to Xuzhou Castle to do just that.
Xuzhou Castle (2nd Visit)
Inn
Blacksmith
Merchant
1) Speak with the soldier walking by the palace in the center of the city.
though he finds your band to be "shabby", he authorizes you to enter
the palace.
2) Enter the palace and speak with Tao Qian. He accepts your services and
orders you to travel west to retake the checkpoint which has been
seized by the Yellow Scarves. To accomodate your expenses, he provides
you with 300 Gold.
3) If you have not equipped Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with Copper Spears, do
so at this point. Travel to the eastern village and upgrade your armor
a little if necessary.
4) Rest at the inn, save your game, and travel to the western checkpoint.
And the game continues...
Now that you have a force of power, you should be in a position to better
explore China in Destiny of an Emperor for the Gameboy. From here, defeat
the generals at the fort, return to Tao Qian, and he will ask you to
reinforce the commander of the castle further to the south. When in doubt
along the way, speak with people of importance. If you are interested in
helping with a walkthrough or further translation, please let me know!
Good luck!
