How to Unlock the Shu True Ending in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Unlocking the True Shu Ending in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

To access the hidden true ending for Liu Bei's Shu faction 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 path.

Normally, this stage involves escorting Liu Bei to safety while Zhang Fei defends the Changban Bridge. However, for the true ending, you must defeat Cao Cao instead of ensuring Liu Bei's escape.

1. Reduce Difficulty: Select "Historian" mode to make the battle more manageable. The sheer number of enemies makes this a significant advantage.

2. Strategic Partner: Choose Zhang Fei as your partner. This places you closer to Cao Cao's initial deployment, saving valuable time.

3. Musou Meter Management: Prepare your Musou Rage before engaging Cao Cao's forces. You'll face two Grand Tactics: eliminating two officers and defeating 250 soldiers. Twin pikes are recommended for the latter.

Once Cao Cao's army is routed, defeating Cao Cao himself should be relatively straightforward. A few additional missions follow before the Shu true ending is revealed.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
