How to Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors Origins

While *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* isn't open-world in the truest sense, its sizable map offers plenty of exploration. Early on, navigation is straightforward. However, as the game progresses and more provinces unlock, traversing the map can become a significant time commitment, especially with the constant influx of new skirmishes and requests requiring backtracking. Fortunately, mastering fast travel is key to efficient gameplay, particularly for players aiming to complete all side content.

How to Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Fast travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins utilizes Waymarks accessible via the in-game map. Before you can fast travel to a Waymark, you must first unlock it. Simply approach a Waymark on the world map and hold X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) to register it. Once unlocked, it appears on the map screen, ready for instant travel.

To access the map, interact with an unlocked Waymark on the world map (when not in battle), or pause the game and navigate to the Map menu using the shoulder buttons. PlayStation players can conveniently access the map by pressing 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 your target will move the cursor to the nearest Waymark, allowing for seamless fast travel.
