Maison > Nouvelles > Sima Zhao: Origins – Zhang Jiao Defeat Guide (Three Kingdoms: Origins / Dynasty Warriors: Origins) Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, is a pivotal enemy in Sima Zhao: Origins (also known as Dynasty Warriors: Origins), especially in the story mode. Defeating him is a major milestone, but it’s no small task — he is powerful, has strong AoE attacks, and is supported by his brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. Here’s a complete, step-by-step guide to defeating Zhang Jiao in Sima Zhao: Origins: 🔥 Zhang Jiao Battle Overview Location: Yellow Turban Uprising – Final Battle (often in a ruined temple or battlefield under stormy skies) Difficulty: High (Elite Boss) Teammates: You’ll typically have Sima Zhao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Cao Cao as allies (depending on your path). Objective: Defeat Zhang Jiao before he uses his Final Ritual (Zhuangzhi — the "Purification of the World" summon). ✅ Step-by-Step Defeat Guide 🛠️ 1. Prepare Your Character and Loadout Recommended Hero: Sima Zhao (or Cao Cao) — great for sustained pressure and crowd control. Weapon: Long-sword or Great Sword for strong sustained damage. Skills to Focus On: Dash Attack / Spear Spin: For closing distance and interrupting his spells. Taunt / Shield Bash: To draw aggro and interrupt his casting. Ultimate Skill (e.g., "Frost of the Northern Star" for Sima Zhao): Use at the right moment. Support: Use a healer like Zhang Jiao’s brother (Zhang Liang) if you can (though he’s a traitor), or Zhang Fei for constant pressure. ✅ Pro Tip: Use Zhang Fei as a tank to draw fire and keep Zhang Jiao focused on you. ⚔️ 2. Phase 1: The Prophet of Heaven (Zhang Jiao) – Initial Fight Zhang Jiao’s Moveset: Lightning Bolt (AoE): Fires bolts in arcs — dodge in zig-zag pattern. Soul Split (Summon Shadow): He splits into 3 clones (one is fake). Attack the real one (it glows faintly). Heal Field: He regenerates health periodically — interrupt with Stun or Knockback. Tactics: Avoid standing still. Constant movement is key. Use Rush Attacks to break his spellcasting rhythm. Stun him after he casts a big spell (e.g., after Lightning Bolt). Focus on damaging him while he’s casting — use timing to interrupt. 🟡 Key: Never let him complete a full spell cast. Use Shield Bash or Counterattack to interrupt. ⚡ 3. Phase 2: The True Power Awakens (After 50% HP) Zhang Jiao summons storm clouds, gains: Dark Lightning Storm (AoE): Spreads across the battlefield — run to edges to avoid. Soul Chain (Pull Attack): Pulls you toward him — jump or roll backward to escape. Massive AoE Shockwave: He slams the ground, causing shockwaves — dodge sideways. New Ability: "Purification of the World" (Final Ritual): He starts chanting — you must interrupt it! 🟠 Critical Phase: If the ritual completes, he becomes invincible and unleashes a game over. How to Stop the Ritual: Run to him immediately when he starts chanting (he pauses mid-speech). Use a Special Move or Ultimate (e.g., Sima Zhao’s "Frost of the Northern Star"). Hit him 3–4 times in quick succession to interrupt. ✅ Pro Tip: Have Zhang Fei or Cao Cao taunt him to trigger the chant, then rush in. 🌩️ 4. Final Phase: The Thunder Emperor Zhang Jiao becomes a massive, glowing, storm-wreathed beast. Attacks now include: Tornado of Lightning: Spins and summons lightning orbs. Skyfall (Meteor Strike): He summons falling lightning — run under pillars or behind cover. Final Strategy: Team Coordination is Crucial: Zhang Fei / Cao Cao: Hold his attention and deal damage. Sima Zhao: Use Ultimate + Dash Combo to deal massive burst. Guan Yu: Use Fierce Slash + Shield Bash to stun and open him up. Final Combo: Wait for him to cast Skyfall. Dodge and counter with a Full Combo. Use Ultimate Skill (e.g., Sima Zhao’s "Blade of Frost") as he’s recovering. 💥 Victory Condition: Reduce his HP to 0 before he completes the ritual. 🎯 Bonus Tips for Easy Victory Use the "Soul Break" mechanic: When Zhang Jiao is stunned, press the special move button to trigger a Soul Break (launches him into the air, deals massive damage). Collect "Tears of the Prophet" (items scattered on field) to boost your power temporarily. Save your Ultimate for when he’s casting the ritual. Don’t rely on auto-targeting — manually aim for his head to maximize damage. ✅ Aftermath: Victory & Rewards Defeat Zhang Jiao → Story progress unlocks. Rewards: Rare Weapon: “Thunderclap Blade” (Zhang Jiao’s stolen weapon). Title: “Prophet’s Bane” (unique achievement). Unlockable Hero: Zhang Liang (Neutral) or Zhang Bao (Bonus) New Pathway: Opens access to Sima Zhao’s True Destiny Mode. ❗ Final Word Zhang Jiao is not just a boss — he’s a symbol of rebellion and chaos. Defeating him proves your strength, but only through timing, coordination, and precision. 🔥 Remember: He doesn’t die until you stop his final ritual. Stay calm, stay fast, and never let him chant to completion. ✅ You’ve done it. The Yellow Turban Rebellion is crushed. The path to unification begins. 📌 “The world trembles beneath the storm of a false prophet.
