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 time-consuming. This is exacerbated by the constant unlocking of skirmishes and requests, often requiring backtracking. Fast travel significantly mitigates this, 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. Unlocking a Waymark requires approaching it on the world map and pressing X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox). Unlocked Waymarks then appear on the map screen for instant travel.
Accessing the map is done outside of battle by interacting with an unlocked Waymark or pausing the game and navigating to the Map menu using the shoulder buttons. PlayStation players can use the DualSense touchpad for quicker access from 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. Cycling through battles and locations uses Triangle (PlayStation) or Y (Xbox), allowing players to select the nearest Waymark to their target.
