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 exacerbated 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 accessible via the in-game map. Before fast traveling, Waymarks must be unlocked by approaching them on the world map and holding X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox). Unlocked Waymarks then appear on the map screen, enabling instant travel.
Accessing the map is possible outside of combat by interacting with an unlocked Waymark or pausing the game and navigating to the Map menu using the shoulder buttons. PlayStation players can also quickly access the map via the DualSense touchpad while on the world map.
The map screen displays nearby key locations and battles when hovering over an unlocked Waymark. Pressing Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) toggles information about these locations. Use Triangle (PlayStation) or Y (Xbox) to cycle through battles and locations, then select the desired destination to automatically move the cursor to the nearest Waymark.
