In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, the game's world map, while not open-world, expands as you progress through the main storyline, unlocking new provinces. Initially, the map is quite manageable, but as it grows, navigating it can become time-consuming, especially with the constant unlocking of new skirmishes and requests that often require backtracking. Fortunately, mastering the art of fast travel in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can significantly streamline your journey, making it easier to tackle all the side content the game has to offer.
How to Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
To fast travel in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, you'll need to use the Map screen to move between different Waymarks. Before you can fast travel to a Waymark, you must first unlock it. To do this, simply approach the Waymark on the world map and hold down the X button if you're on PlayStation, or the A button if you're using an Xbox controller. Once unlocked, the Waymark will appear on your map screen, ready for you to fast travel to it at your convenience.
To access the map when you're not in the midst of battle, you can either interact with an unlocked Waymark directly on the world map or pause the game and use the shoulder buttons to navigate to the Map menu. PlayStation users have an additional shortcut: you can quickly bring up the map by pressing the touchpad on your DualSense controller while on the world map, saving you precious seconds.
Once you're on the map screen, hovering over an unlocked Waymark will display any nearby key locations or battles. If you're searching for a specific battle or location, press the Square button on PlayStation or the X button on Xbox to toggle the information display. Then, use the Triangle button on PlayStation or the Y button on Xbox to cycle through a list of available battles and locations. Select the one you're interested in, and the cursor will move to the nearest Waymark, making your fast travel decision a breeze.
