In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, players won't find themselves wandering an open world but navigating a sizable world map. Initially, the explorable area is quite small, making navigation straightforward. As you advance through the main storyline and unlock additional provinces, however, traversing the map can become more time-consuming and complex. This challenge is amplified by the constant unlocking of new skirmishes and requests that often necessitate backtracking across vast sections of the map. Fortunately, mastering fast travel in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can significantly streamline your journey, especially if you're keen on tackling all the side content the game offers.

How to Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, players can utilize fast travel to hop between different Waymarks via the Map screen. To unlock a Waymark for fast travel, simply approach it on the world map and press and hold the X button if you're on PlayStation, or the A button if you're on Xbox. Once unlocked, the Waymark will be visible on the map, ready for you to fast travel to at your convenience.

To access the map when not in battle, you can 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: simply press the Dual Sense touchpad while on the world map to bring up the map screen, saving you precious seconds.

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.
