Dive into the epic world of Dynasty Warriors: Origins and unlock the hidden true ending for Liu Bei's Shu faction! This guide will walk you through the steps needed to achieve this challenging feat.
To begin your journey towards the Shu true ending, you must first complete the main Shu campaign. This unlocks the ability to replay stages, and you'll notice a golden banner next to "The Battle of Changban." This signifies the stage with the alternate ending path.
Normally, this mission involves helping Liu Bei escape while Zhang Fei holds off Cao Cao's forces. However, to unlock the true ending, you must defeat Cao Cao himself. This is no easy task, as you'll be facing a massive army largely on your own, embodying the series' famed "1 vs. 1000" battles.
To increase your chances of success, consider these strategies:
- Lower the Difficulty: Set the game to "Historian" mode. While this might seem like cheating, the sheer number of enemies makes this a necessary tactic for most players, especially at lower levels. It significantly improves your odds.
- Strategic Partner Choice: Select Zhang Fei as your partner. Starting closer to Cao Cao's army eliminates the lengthy trek across the map, giving you a crucial head start.
- Weapon and Musou Rage: Ensure your Musou Rage meter is full before engaging Cao Cao's main forces. Equip a weapon suited for crowd control, such as twin pikes, to quickly dispatch the large number of soldiers required in one of Cao Cao's Grand Tactics.
By carefully managing your resources and utilizing these strategies, you can overcome Cao Cao's army and unlock the Shu true ending. Once Cao Cao is defeated, only a few more missions stand between you and the conclusion of this alternate storyline.
Congratulations! You've unlocked the Shu true ending in Dynasty Warriors: Origins! Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
