Dynasty Warriors: Origins Battle Arts Guide: Mastering Unique Combat Techniques

In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, each weapon boasts a unique set of Battle Arts – powerful combo techniques that significantly impact your playstyle. While many are readily available, unlocking the full arsenal requires discovering hidden Tomes across China. This guide details the various methods for acquiring these crucial combat enhancements.

Multiple paths lead to Battle Art Tomes, demanding exploration of every avenue to master all techniques.

Elder Tomes

Four elder brothers, scattered across the land, each bestow a Tome upon discovery. They appear on the World Map at the start of each chapter, though accessibility varies.

• Mad Blade Rush (Sword): Locate the first elder fishing near Wan Castle's river in Jing Province. Accessible while assisting Cao Cao against the Yellow Turbans.
• Spree Of Devastation (Spear): In Chapter 2, revisit Yan Province near the central plains. The elder awaits beyond the mountains from the Waystone.
• Flying Dragon Slash (Sword): After aiding Sun Jian in capturing Fan Castle (Chapter 3), access the nearby port to cross the river and find the elder before the Battle of Xiangyang. Capturing Fan Castle doesn't restrict storyline choices.
• Divine Eagle Dance (Sword): Chapter 4 opens the gate behind Changsha in Jing Province. An elder awaits near Chaisang, also reachable by boat from Yang Province.
