Unleash the true potential of the Shu faction in Dynasty Warriors: Origins! This guide reveals how to unlock Liu Bei's hidden true ending. Prepare for a thrilling challenge.
To begin your journey to the Shu true ending, you must first complete the main Shu campaign. This unlocks the ability to replay stages, and you'll notice a golden banner next to "The Battle of Changban." This signifies an alternate path awaits.
Traditionally, this stage involves escorting Liu Bei to safety. However, to unlock the true ending, you must defy the odds and defeat Cao Cao himself! This iconic battle truly embodies the series' "1 vs. 1000" spirit. Be warned: Liu Bei's defeat means a mission restart, so strategy is key.
To increase your chances of victory, consider lowering the game's difficulty to "Historian" mode. This makes the overwhelming number of enemies more manageable. Choosing Zhang Fei as your partner offers a strategic advantage, placing you closer to Cao Cao's forces at the start.
Prepare for Cao Cao's Grand Tactics – one requiring the elimination of two officers, the other demanding the defeat of 250 soldiers. A weapon like twin pikes is highly recommended for efficient soldier clearing. Once his army is routed, defeating Cao Cao should be relatively straightforward.
After this pivotal victory, a few more missions await before you witness the Shu true ending. Conquer the challenge and experience the full story of Liu Bei's campaign!
