DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS - All of True Ending Conditions

This article aims to guide readers towards achieving the True Ending, containing potential plot spoilers.
Considering that most "Fate Altered" scenarios have time limits, it is recommended to set the game difficulty to "Historian" when engaging in such battles.

Cao Cao's True Ending

1.[Chapter Four] Escape from Wan Castle

Aim: Dian Wei's Survival

Step:

1. Capture the two key positions at the top right and top left outside the city swiftly, thereby triggering a ladder deployment commander to guide Cao Cao down the city wall and onto the left side of the upper perimeter through a ladder. At this moment, the upper-left city gate will open.There are FIVE important points to note for this step. Please scroll down to review them before taking action.

Attention 1: After capturing the top-right stronghold, you will encounter enemy reinforcements dispatched from the bottom-right corner on your way back. You should defeat them all.

Attention 2: Help Guo Jia defeat the general at the city gate can ease the pressure on him when facing enemy forces outside the city while your're inside. If Guo Jia is defeated, the battle will immediately end in failure.

Attention 3: When enemy reinforcements appear in the bottom-left corner, you should defeat them all.

Attention 4: When the enemy attempts to (or has already) occupy our central stronghold, you should reclaim it.

Attention 5: After capturing the top-left stronghold, you should continue forward to defeat the enemy general in front of the top-left city gate, as this general will block the soldiers setting up ladders.

2. Quickly enter the city and eliminate all hostile generals within.(no need to engage common foot soldiers).

IF ALL STEPS PROCEED SMOOTHLY:

When all enemy generals within the city are slain, Dian Wei exclaim, "There are fewer people now", and at the same time, the screen dis plays "Fate Altered."

FAILURE CONDITIONS:

It takes to long (about 8 minutes and 20 seconds). Even if all the generals within the city are slain at this point, it is impossible to alter the outcome of the battle-where Dian Wei meets his demise.

2.[Chapter Five] Battle of Mt. Bailang

The objective of this battle will impact the objective of the Battle of Chibi. If the objective of this battle is not achieved, it will be impossible to "Fate Altered" of the Battle of Chibi.

Aim: Guo Jia's Survival

Step:

1. At the beginning, head straight along the bottom path, swiftly leading Tian Chou to capture the western stronghold by following the lower-left route. Then continue moving upward along the left path, where you will encounter Bai Luan attempting to block your way.

2. Defeat Bai Luan immediately after he appears.

IF ALL STEPS PROCEED SMOOTHLY:

After defeating Bai Luan, the screen dis plays "Fate Altered."

FAILURE CONDITIONS:

If Guo Jia or Bai Luan mentions being delayed. Both situations indicate that you were too slow. Even if you win the battle, Guo Jia will still pass away due to illness.

Be aware that Cao Cao may be defeated while you're fighting Bai Luan, which will result in an immediate failure of the battle. Therefore, at the beginning, you need to quickly capture the western stronghold to trigger Bai Luan. This way, you'll have enough time to return to Cao Cao's side to assist him.

3.[Chapter Five] Battle of Chibi

Guo Jia must be selected as a companion for this battle, as only he can see through Huang Gai's plan to set the fire!

Aim: Stop Huang Gai from setting the fire

Step:

1. The start of the battle is normal, with the lading of ships on the right.

Do not attack too aggressively. Make sure not to open the gate to the central stronghold where Liu Bei and Sun Quan are located before "defeating Huang Gai" (the steps for defeating Huang Gai will be mentioned later).If you attack Liu Bei and Sun Quan prematurely, the plot will be ignored, and a forced fire event will trigger!

2. About five minutes later, Huang Gai will seek a one-on-one duel with Zhou Yu. At this point, there's no need to interfere, as Huang Gai will retreat regardless. Even if you help him defeat Zhou Yu, all you need to do is battle as normal.

3. After Huang Gai retreats, Guo Jia will start saying a lot of things and then mark a yellow flag location on the map. At this point, we should return to Cao Cao's side.

4. After Huang Gai reappears, he will move towards the yellow flag location. We need to stay a bit further from the spot so that he will come, Once Huang Gai reaches the location, we should immediately go and defeat him.

IF ALL STEPS PROCEED SMOOTHLY:

After defeating Huang Gai, the screen dis plays "Fate Altered."

FAILURE CONDITIONS:

If too much time passed (about 12 minutes), the fire will be triggered automatically.

Sun Jian's True Ending

1.[Chapter Three] Battle of Xiangyang

Aim: Sun Jian's Survival

Step:

1. Quickly move along the bottom path to find Sun Jian (and join up with him).

2. Wait for "Phantom Zhang Jiao" to appear and defeat him.

3. After defeating "Phantom Zhang Jiao", the road ahead will open, and immediately go to the lower left corner of the map to help Sun Jian defeat the enemy general.

IF ALL STEPS PROCEED SMOOTHLY:

After defeating the generals next to Sun Jian,the animation of the protagonist rescuing Sun Jian will be played and then the screen dis plays "Fate Altered."

FAILURE CONDITIONS:

If too much time passes(When Huang Gai reaches Sun Jian in the bottom-left corner of the map before you do.), the animation where Sun Jian is struck by a giant rock will play automatically.

2.[Chapter Four] Suppression of Wu

Attention: This battle is "Suppression of Wu", not "Conquest of Wu".

Aim: Sun Ce's Survival

Step:

1. After following Sun Quan to capture the first stronghold, quickly proceed to capture Stronghold A.(The purpose of capturing Stronghold A here is to help Sun Quan share the pressure during our subsequent battle with Bai Luan.)

2. After capturing Stronghold A, jump down to the center(Point B on the map) and assist Sun Quan in defeating the enemy generals.(This step is also intended to alleviate the pressure when we are not by Sun Quan's side later.)

3. After defeating the generals at Point B, proceed to Stronghold C. At this point, Sun Ce should meet us at Stronghold C, and we can capture it together.

4. After Sun Ce captures the Stronghold C, follow him closely. He will enter the left-side forest and disappear. By using Eagle Eye, you can see purple smoke. Enter the hidden map to defeat Bai Luan.

IF ALL STEPS PROCEED SMOOTHLY:

After defeating Bai Luan, the screen dis plays "Fate Altered."

FAILURE CONDITIONS:

Pay Attention to supporting Sun Quan, prevent him from being defeated.After defeating Bai Luan, quickly head to Sun Quan's side to assist him.

Liu Bei's True Ending

[Chapter Five] Battle of Changban

Aim: Defeat Cao Cao

Step:

When Cao Cao appears, head over to defeat him.

IF ALL STEPS PROCEED SMOOTHLY:

After defeating Cao Cao, the screen dis plays "Fate Altered."

FAILURE CONDITIONS:

During our battle with Cao Cao, Liu Bei was defeated by an enemy general.

Therefore, when Cao Cao appears, we need to immediately head over and defeat him.Ignore any enemies along the way——as long as we defeat Cao Cao, all enemy generals will retreat.
