Dynasty Warriors: Origins, while not open-world, features a substantial map. Early exploration is straightforward, but navigating the expanding map as the story progresses becomes increasingly time-consuming. This is further complicated by the constant unlocking of new skirmishes and requests, often requiring significant backtracking. Fortunately, mastering fast travel significantly reduces this travel time, 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). Unlocked Waymarks then appear on the map screen, allowing instant travel.
Accessing the map is possible outside of battle by interacting with an unlocked Waymark or by pausing the game and navigating to the Map menu using the shoulder buttons. PlayStation players can conveniently access the map via the DualSense touchpad while on the world map, saving time.
The map screen displays nearby key locations and battles when hovering over an unlocked Waymark. To toggle information about specific battles or locations, press Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox). 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.
