Dynasty Warriors: Origins lacks a dedicated sprint button; your character automatically sprints after a few running steps. While sprinting offers decent speed, traversing large battlefields to reach officers swiftly is often necessary for victory.
This is where your horse proves invaluable, summonable at any time during overworld or battle phases. Engage in combat from horseback for faster hit-and-run tactics. Here's how to acquire your first mount, improve its stats, and switch between different steeds.
How To Unlock Your First Steed in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Your initial mount is a free gift! During Chapter 1, locate a merchant in the overworld. He appears after completing "Test Of Zheng Fei," usually en route to the Battle Of Guangzong. Find him northeast of Wan Castle, before reaching the camp, standing beside his horse. Speak to him to receive your steed; it's automatically equipped.
Summon your horse by pressing down on the left joystick (console) or V (keyboard).
How To Enhance Your Mount in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Your horse gains experience points (XP) based on completed missions, even if unused during the mission itself. However, Skirmishes don't award XP. Missions, indicated by a red diamond with a soldier icon, provide medium-length battles for XP gain. The XP earned depends on battle duration and your horse's usage, including charging into enemies. Leveling up unlocks unique buffs for each horse at specific intervals.
How To Change Mounts in Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Your first horse is automatically equipped, but others are available. Access the Battle Preparation menu; the mount selection is the last option on the left. Each horse boasts unique perks; some are inherently faster and superior. Acquire new mounts by maximizing a region's peace level. A new horse awaits as a reward at a nearby waypoint.
