Dynasty Warriors: Origins' world map, while sizable, isn't open-world. 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 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 pressing X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox). The unlocked Waymark then appears on the map screen, enabling 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 expedite this by pressing 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 display. 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.
