All Difficulty Modes in Dynasty Warriors Origins Explained

There are three difficulty modes in Dynasty Warriors Origins and here is everything that you need to know about them.

Dynasty Warriors Origins might seem like a hack-and-slash game, but there’s a lot more than meets the eye. To be effective, you need to make strategic choices that will greatly impact how a mission plays out. Not all fights can be won in the same manner, and many may require more than a few tries to complete, based on the difficulty setting that you are playing on.

The difficulty modes in Dynasty Warriors Origins are simple, and their names perfectly represent the challenge level. In this article, we will explain all the difficulty modes that are available in Dynasty Warriors Origins and how you can change them. We will also shed some light on which setting might be the best for you, based on your overall playstyle.

How Many Difficulty Modes Are There in Dynasty Warriors Origins?

There are three difficulty modes or levels in Dynasty Warriors Origins:

• Historian
• Wayfarer
• Hero

Here is an in-depth explanation of each difficulty mode and what you can expect from them:

Historian

In terms of difficulty, Historian is the easiest mode. The combat is not that punishing, and you can take your time to ease into the mechanics. You will still need to make crucial strategic choices and plan your attack properly. However, the enemies do not block your attack or parry as often, and they do not deal a lot of damage either.

This mode is ideal if you are new to the Dynasty Warriors franchise and simply want to experience the story of the game. Nothing about this mode is challenging, and you get a solid grasp of what the game has to offer.

Wayfarer

The Wayfarer difficulty offers a middle-ground experience in Dynasty Warriors Origins. The fights are neither easy nor difficult. The bosses are challenging to a certain extent, but nothing that will make you scratch your head for too long.

This is a good mode if you are looking for a mode that will not punish you too much but will also keep you from steamrolling the enemies easily. For most players, this will be the mode of choice.

Hero

The Hero mode is the most difficult one in Dynasty Warriors Origins. While it is not at a souls-like level of difficulty, every fight is a challenge to overcome. Bosses and enemy NPCs will read and block your attacks much more frequently. The mobs have enough firepower to take you down if you are not careful enough.

The Hero mode is for the veterans or if you are a true battle fanatic. As suggested by the name, you are supposed to embody a hero while playing in this mode, going absolutely beast mode on any and every enemy.

How to Change Difficulty in Dynasty Warriors Origins

Dynasty Warriors Origins is not very punishing, and lets you change the game’s difficulty at any point. If a battle seems too difficult or too easy, you can change its difficulty during the Battle Preparation phase.

Here are the steps to change the difficulty level in Dynasty Warriors Origins:

• Press Esc (if you are on keyboard/mouse) and load the main menu.
• Head to the System tab from the top.
• Next, select the Configuration option from the list. (This is usually the very first option.)
• Access the Difficulty settings from here.
