How to Choose a Faction In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, you'll carve a path through ancient China, battling alongside various warlords. But eventually, a crucial decision awaits: choosing your allegiance. This guide explains how to navigate faction selection.

Understanding Factions in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*

The game unfolds in chapters. The first two chapters feature the Wanderer, your character, acting independently. You'll assist Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, participating in key events like the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Battle of Hulao Gate. However, Chapter 3 presents a turning point.

By the end of Chapter 3, you must pledge your loyalty to one of the three factions: Sun Jian, Liu Bei, or Cao Cao. Before making this commitment, the game provides opportunities to learn more about each faction through battles. You'll need to complete a specific number of missions for each: three for Sun Jian, two for Liu Bei, and one for Cao Cao. Completing these unlocks a mission forcing you to choose a side. Only factions with completed missions will be selectable.

Your choice is permanent. Once you align with a faction, the others become inaccessible. You can no longer accept side quests from their officers, limiting your bond and potential skill point gains. This can impact difficulty; for example, Liu Bei's faction initially has fewer officers, potentially hindering skill point acquisition.

Each faction offers unique missions. To experience everything *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* has to offer, create a save before choosing a faction, allowing you to replay with different allegiances.

Now you know how to choose your faction in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
