How to Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors Origins

Dynasty Warriors: Origins, while not open-world, features a sizable map. Early exploration is straightforward, but navigating the expanding map as the story progresses becomes increasingly time-consuming. This is further complicated by the constant unlocking of new skirmishes and requests, often requiring significant backtracking. Mastering fast travel is crucial for efficient gameplay, 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 holding X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox). Unlocked Waymarks then appear on the map screen, allowing instant travel.

Accessing the map is done either by interacting with an unlocked Waymark on the world map (outside of battle), pausing the game and navigating to the Map menu using shoulder buttons, or, for PlayStation users, more quickly 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; Triangle (PlayStation) or Y (Xbox) cycles through available battles and locations. Selecting a target automatically moves the cursor to the nearest Waymark.
