Unlocking the True Shu Ending in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
To access the Shu faction's true ending in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you must first complete the main Shu campaign. This unlocks replayability of past stages. Look for a gold banner next to "The Battle of Changban" – this signifies an alternate scenario.
Normally, this mission involves escorting Liu Bei to safety. However, for the true ending, you must defeat Cao Cao directly. This is challenging, as you'll be significantly outnumbered.
To increase your chances of success:
- Reduce Difficulty: Switch to "Historian" mode to make the battle more manageable.
- Strategic Partner: Choose Zhang Fei as your partner; his starting position provides a tactical advantage.
Prepare for Cao Cao's Grand Tactics: He'll employ two – one requiring the elimination of two officers, the other demanding the defeat of 250 soldiers. A weapon like twin pikes is recommended for efficient soldier clearing. Ensure your Musou Rage is ready for optimal damage output.
Once Cao Cao's forces are routed, defeating Cao Cao himself should be relatively straightforward. Completing a few additional missions afterward will reveal the Shu true ending.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
