While *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* isn't open-world in the truest sense, its sizable world map offers plenty to explore. Initially, navigation is straightforward due to the relatively small explorable area. However, as the story progresses and more provinces unlock, traversing the map can become time-consuming. This is further complicated by the constant unlocking of new skirmishes and requests, often requiring significant backtracking.
Fortunately, mastering fast travel significantly streamlines exploration, especially for players aiming to complete all side content. Here's how to utilize this essential feature:
How to Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Fast travel in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* utilizes Waymarks. To fast travel, you must first unlock a Waymark. Simply approach a Waymark on the world map and hold down the X button (PlayStation) or A button (Xbox). Once unlocked, it appears on the map screen, ready for instant travel.
Accessing the map is easy. 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 quickly access the map via the DualSense touchpad while on the world map, saving precious seconds.
On the map screen, hovering over an unlocked Waymark displays nearby key locations and battles. To locate a specific battle or location, press Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) to toggle information. Then, use Triangle (PlayStation) or Y (Xbox) to cycle through available battles and locations. Selecting one will move the cursor to the nearest Waymark, allowing for quick travel.
