How To Unlock New Weapons In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Unlocking Every Weapon in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Unlike previous Dynasty Warriors titles featuring multiple playable characters, each with unique weapons, Dynasty Warriors: Origins simplifies things. You play as a single character, accumulating weapons throughout the game. Here's how to acquire each weapon:

The initial weapon, the Sword, is provided at the game's start. Subsequent weapons are obtained by defeating specific enemy officers in various missions. While most weapons can be obtained before completing Chapter 3, the precise timing depends on which officers you defeat. Here's a breakdown of my acquisition timeline:

• Spear: Complete 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 in the Suppression of You Province mission in Chapter 2.
• Podao: Defeat any officer wielding a Podao in the Subjugation of the White Wave Bandits mission in Chapter 2.
• Staff: Defeat an officer within a hidden treasure chamber accessible via a secret passage during the Assassination of Dong Zhuo mission in Chapter 2.
• Twin Pike: Defeat Zhang Liao in the Battle of Hulao Gate mission in Chapter 2.
• Lance: Defeat an officer wielding a Lance in the Battle of Xu Province. Note: This requires defeating an officer on the opposing side (Cao Cao or Liu Bei) depending on your chosen allegiance.
• Crescent Blade: This is unlocked sometime in Chapter 3, after aligning with a specific faction. The exact mission varies based on your choices.
• Halberd: This ultimate weapon requires defeating Lu Bu in the Battle of Hulao Gate after completing the main campaign. Considered the game's best weapon, this is a challenging endeavor.

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