Guide to beating The True Shogun's Stand mission in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. Learn strategies for defeating Takara and Tatsu.

Alright, let's tackle "The True Shogun's Stand"! This one's located in Miyako and it's a toughie, rated Hard. You'll be facing off against Takara (Orange) and Tatsu (Purple). Your main goals are to set up your MCV, defeat Takara, and then take down Tatsu. There's also a secondary objective to capture the communications post. Keep an eye out for the Pacifier FAVs – they're super useful here, and you can also bring out the King Oni if you've unlocked it. This is the final showdown with the Imperial renegades, so we need to plan this carefully!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, head towards the western mountain. You'll run into some Imperial forces, so use your Pacifier FAVs to bomb their Tanks from a distance and their machine guns to clear out any Infantry. Once that's done, set up your MCV on the mountain.
  2. 2
    Next, blow up the bridge to the northeast. Then, make your way northwest to capture the communications post. After that, secure the Ore node to the southwest. Use those Pacifier FAVs again to bombard any Imperial forces coming up the path north of your position. Don't forget to capture the Oil Derrick to the east!
  3. 3
    When you're ready, send one of your Pacifiers up to the northern mountain and bomb the Imperial outpost there. Secure the resources you find, and then blow up that bridge!
  4. 4
    From your current position, use your Pacifiers to bomb the Imperial Docks located on the river. Now, build two Airbases and fill them with Apollo Fighters. You'll also want a few Harbinger Gunships to bomb Takara's main base. You can actually spare her Headquarters for a bit and just bomb the rest of her structures. Meanwhile, build up some defenses at the northeast Allied base and set up some Pacifier FAVs there. Repair the bridge connecting this base to your main one. When you feel secure, it's time to level Takara's HQ.
  5. 5
    With Takara on the run, Tatsu will now have full control and turn on you! You'll need to fight off his Imperial forces in the northern base for as long as you can, and then retreat. Make sure to blow up the bridge behind you so Tatsu's forces can't cross. Secure the resources in Takara's old base, and then use your Apollo squad to gun down the Giga Fortress head.
  6. 6
    Take a breather, then send your Gunships to destroy the Imperial Docks on the river to the east – this is your top priority. Also, secure the Ore Node to the east for extra resources. Be warned, Tatsu has a Chronosphere, so you'll need to build up a Proton Collider and more Gunships! When you're ready, send in your air fleet!
  7. 7
    Your Gunships should handle Tatsu's main forces pretty easily, while your Apollo Fighters can keep the Tengu and Rocket Angels in check. Remember, always target any Anti-Air units first!
Tips
  • The Pacifier FAVs are your best friend in this mission for bombing ground targets from a safe distance.
  • Don't forget to capture strategic points like the communications post and the Oil Derrick for extra income and advantages.
  • When facing Tatsu's Chronosphere, prioritize building your own counter-structures and air units to overwhelm him.
  • Always keep an eye on your anti-air capabilities to deal with enemy air units effectively.
