Choosing Your Faction: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Guide

In the action-packed world of *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, you'll find yourself immersed in ancient China, engaging in epic battles alongside iconic warlords. However, a pivotal moment arrives when you must decide which faction to align with. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate faction selection in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins Factions Explained

*Dynasty Warriors: Origins* unfolds across several chapters, with the initial two allowing your character, the Wanderer, to remain neutral. You'll assist Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei in their skirmishes, participating in significant historical events like the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle of Hulao Gate.

The game shifts gears in Chapter 3, prompting you to choose a faction by the chapter's end. By this point, you should have a good sense of which faction resonates with you, but the game offers additional battles to help you make an informed decision.

To progress, you must complete specific missions for each faction. Sun Jian requires three battles, Liu Bei needs two, and Cao Cao asks for just one. Once you've met these requirements, a new mission will unlock, forcing you to pick a side. For instance, if you complete Cao Cao's mission first, you'll have the option to ally with him or Liu Bei, but not Sun Jian, unless you've completed his missions as well. You can always go back and complete missions for all factions before making your final choice.

Once you've made your decision, the faction you choose to oppose will be locked out for the remainder of the game. This means no more sidequests from their officers and no further bond increases with them, potentially making your chosen path more challenging. For example, aligning with Liu Bei might limit your opportunities for skill points due to fewer commanding officers to interact with.

Each faction offers unique missions, so if you're eager to experience all that *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* has to offer, consider saving your game before making your choice. This way, you can reload and explore different alliances.

That's how you select a faction in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*. The game is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, ready for you to dive into the fray and make your mark on history.
