This one isn’t as interesting as the other entries, but this did drive me crazy as I chased down my fancy platinum trophy, so I’m here to help other completionists avoid my struggle.

Of all the story path’s in the game, Cao Cao’s has the most branching paths. You can save Dian Wei in Chapter 4, save Guo Jia in Chapter 5, and completely change the final Battle of Chibi by bringing Guo Jia with you and foiling Zhuge Liang’s surprise fire attack. With all these alternate outcomes, it’s incredibly easy to miss one technically unique cutscene that only triggers if you don’t save Dian Wei but do save Guo Jia. I hope my use of italics drives home how much fun I had figuring this out

This scene genuinely adds functionally nothing to your experience, but it is a requirement if you want 100 percent story completion. The things we do for an immaterial medal.
