In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, while the game isn't an open-world experience, it features an expansive world map that grows larger as you progress through the storyline. Initially, the explorable area is quite compact, allowing for easy navigation. However, as you unlock more provinces, traversing the map can become quite time-consuming and cumbersome, especially when new skirmishes and requests continuously pop up, often necessitating backtracking. Thankfully, mastering the art of fast travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins can significantly streamline your journey across the map, making it easier to tackle all the side content the game has to offer.
How to Fast Travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

To utilize fast travel in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, players must first unlock Waymarks on the world map. You can unlock a Waymark by approaching it and holding down the X button on PlayStation or the A button on Xbox. Once unlocked, the Waymark will appear on the map screen, allowing you to fast travel to it at your convenience.

When not engaged in combat, you can access the map by interacting with an unlocked Waymark directly on the world map or by pausing the game and navigating to the Map menu using the shoulder buttons. PlayStation users can expedite this process by pressing the Dual Sense touchpad while on the world map, saving precious seconds.

On the map screen, hovering over an unlocked Waymark will display nearby key locations or battles. If you're searching for a specific battle or location, press the Square button on PlayStation or the X button on Xbox to toggle additional information. Then, use the Triangle button on PlayStation or the Y button on Xbox to cycle through a list of available battles and locations. Selecting one will move the cursor to the nearest Waymark, making it easy to fast travel to your desired destination.
