DW: Origins - Unlocking Shu's True Ending

Unlocking Shu's True Ending in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

*Dynasty Warriors: Origins* features three distinct campaigns, each with a secret true ending to discover. For players seeking the true conclusion to Liu Bei's Shu storyline, here's a complete guide to achieving it.

Prerequisites for the True Ending

Begin by completing the standard Shu campaign to unlock stage replay functionality. You'll notice a golden banner marking The Battle of Changban stage - this indicates an alternate path exists.

In the conventional mission, players protect Liu Bei's retreat while Zhang Fei defends Changban Bridge against Cao Cao's forces. However, to unlock the true ending, you must subvert history by eliminating Cao Cao during this battle.

Conquering the Challenge

This objective presents a formidable test:

• The mission expects retreat rather than confrontation
• You'll face overwhelming enemy forces singlehandedly
• Liu Bei remains vulnerable to defeat

Strategic Approaches

1. Adjust Difficulty: Switch to Historian mode to manage the extreme enemy numbers
2. Character Selection: Choose Zhang Fei to start closer to Cao Cao's position
3. Resource Management: Conserve your Musou Rage for critical moments
4. Weapon Choice: Equip wide-area weapons like twin pikes for crowd control

Battle Execution

Cao Cao's forces will deploy two Grand Tactics requiring:

• Elimination of two enemy officers
• Defeat of 250 soldiers

After overcoming these challenges and defeating Cao Cao, complete the subsequent special missions to experience Shu's true ending.

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