Dynasty Warriors: Origins, while not open-world, features a substantial map. Early exploration is straightforward, but later game progression unlocks numerous provinces, significantly increasing travel time. This is further complicated by the constant unlocking of skirmishes and requests, often requiring backtracking. Fortunately, mastering fast travel significantly reduces this burden, especially for players aiming to complete all side content.

How to Utilize Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Fast travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins utilizes Waymarks accessed via the in-game map. Before fast traveling, Waymarks must be unlocked. Approach a Waymark on the world map and hold X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) to unlock it. Unlocked Waymarks then appear on the map screen, enabling direct fast travel.

To access the map, outside of battle, interact with an unlocked Waymark or pause the game and navigate to the Map menu using the shoulder buttons. PlayStation players can conveniently access the map by pressing the DualSense touchpad while on the world map, saving time.

On the map screen, hovering over an unlocked Waymark displays nearby key locations and battles. Press Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) to toggle information about these points of interest. 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.
