Role in Games

This first appears in Warriors Orochi 2 where the Wei forces are pursuing Da Ji and lose sight of her. Jiang Wei and Toshiie Maeda offer to find her and lead an encampment of Wei troops but soon they are surrounded by Da Ji's army and outmaneuvered by her plotting. Though Nagamasa Azai arrives, the rest of the Azai army, including Yoshikage Asakura are blocked by Himiko's clay effigies and Keiji Maeda. Allowing the Azai to arrive, allows the Wei forces to score a resounding victory and capture Da Ji in the southwest, who implores Himiko to flee, so Orochi can be revived and empowered. Nagamasa and Oichi then joins Wei after the victory.

This also appears in a dream mode stage, where Lu Bu, Tadakatsu Honda and Keiji Maeda square off against Orochi, wanting to end him for the benefit of the realm and himself. They start off in the southwest garrison, scare off the guards with their might and rescue Liu Bei's beleaguered army along the way. Their might inspires the Hojo to defect, and they dispatch of many of Orochi's top generals including Warriors, of Wei. They work their way to the main camp and square off against Orochi, accompanied by his two faithful servants Kiyomori Taira and Da Ji.

In Warriors Orochi 3, the map returns as a DLC stage with scenarios like 'Party planners', 'Zhong Hui's pride', and 'Clash of Champions'. In 'Party planners', players fight against coalition officers for wine. In 'Zhong Hui's pride', players abduct women and serve Dong Zhuo, leading to enraged relatives. In 'Clash of Champions', players face off against Jin in a large-scale battle. Recommended characters include Fu Xi, Jiang Wei, and Masanori Fukushima.

This stage also appears in the distant past in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate using it's remastered design in Orochi 3. Yinglong, Fu Xi and Nezha head off to rescue their mystic allies from Kyubi's demon hordes running wild, they then proceed to escape in the northwest but not before Kyubi mentions she has plans for Yinglong. After the battle, Yinglong expresses his doubts to which Fu Xi reassures him that Fu Xi will always be there to help him, but as this is a flashback stage, Yinglong tragically has his doubts used by Tamamo to turn into Orochi.
