Unlocking Every Weapon in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Unlike previous Dynasty Warriors titles featuring multiple playable characters with unique weapon sets, Dynasty Warriors: Origins streamlines the experience. Players control a single character who can acquire and switch between various weapons throughout the game. While you start with a sword, additional weapons are earned by defeating specific enemy officers in various missions.
Here's a guide to acquiring all the weapons, aiming for the earliest possible unlock in each case:
- Sword: Your starting weapon.
- Spear: Earned after completing the Battle of Guangyang in Chapter 1 (requires purchase for story progression).
- Gauntlets: Defeat Zhou Cang during the Battle of Guangzong in Chapter 1.
- Wheels: Defeat Zhang Ju during the Suppression of You Province in Chapter 2.
- Podao: Defeat any officer wielding this weapon during the Subjugation of the White Wave Bandits in Chapter 2 (multiple officers carry it).
- Staff: Defeat an officer located within a treasure chamber accessible via a secret passage during the Assassination of Dong Zhuo in Chapter 2.
- Twin Pike: Defeat Zhang Liao during the Battle of Hulao Gate in Chapter 2.
- Lance: Defeat an officer wielding the lance in the Battle of Xu Province. Note that this requires defeating an officer on the opposing side (Cao Cao or Liu Bei) depending on your chosen allegiance.
- Crescent Blade: This weapon is unlocked in Chapter 3, after aligning with a specific faction. The exact mission varies depending on your choices. It will be acquired before chapter completion.
- Halberd (Ultimate Weapon): This powerful weapon requires defeating Lu Bu at the Battle of Hulao Gate after completing the main campaign. Consider this a significant challenge.
This guide ensures you acquire every weapon in Dynasty Warriors: Origins efficiently. The game is available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
