Unveiling the Secrets of Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors Origins

Dynasty Warriors: Origins, while not open-world, features a substantial map. Early exploration is straightforward, but navigating becomes increasingly time-consuming as the game progresses and more provinces unlock. This is further complicated by the constant influx of new skirmishes and requests, often requiring significant backtracking. Mastering fast travel is crucial for efficient gameplay, especially for players aiming to complete all side content.

Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Fast travel utilizes Waymarks accessed via the in-game map. To enable fast travel to a Waymark, players must first unlock it by approaching it on the world map and holding X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox). The unlocked Waymark then appears on the map screen, enabling instant travel.

Accessing the map is done outside of combat by interacting with an unlocked Waymark or pausing the game and navigating to the Map menu using the shoulder buttons. PlayStation users can expedite this by pressing the DualSense touchpad while on the world map.

On the map screen, hovering over an unlocked Waymark displays nearby key locations and battles. Pressing Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) toggles this information. Use Triangle (PlayStation) or Y (Xbox) to cycle through available battles and locations, then select the desired target to automatically move the cursor to the nearest Waymark.
