Unlocking the True Shu Ending in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

To access the true ending for Liu Bei's Shu faction in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, 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 an alternate scenario.

Normally, this stage involves escorting Liu Bei to safety while Zhang Fei defends the bridge. However, for the true ending, you must defeat Cao Cao instead.

This is challenging, requiring a solo defeat of Cao Cao and his substantial army. Failure to defeat Cao Cao before Liu Bei is defeated necessitates a mission restart. To increase your chances:

  • Reduce Difficulty: Selecting "Historian" mode significantly lowers the enemy's strength, increasing your survival time.
  • Strategic Partner: Choose Zhang Fei as your partner; his starting position provides closer proximity to Cao Cao's forces.

Prioritize these strategies:

  • Musou Rage: Ensure your Musou Rage meter is full before engaging Cao Cao's main force.
  • Weapon Choice: Equip a weapon effective against large numbers of enemies (like twin pikes) to efficiently handle the Grand Tactics requiring 250 soldier defeats.

Once Cao Cao falls, the path to the Shu true ending will be clear, requiring only a few additional missions.

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