In chapter 3 of Dynasty Warriors Origins, players have to unite with any of the three factions: Wei, Shu, and Wu. Assault on Nanyang is a story mission that comes under the Wu faction; therefore, players get accompanied by people from the Wu faction. This mission can be unlocked by talking to Sun Jian in Jing Province. Players help Sun Jiao, the first emperor of Wu, in winning against enemies for their land.

In this guide, we will provide a complete walkthrough of the mission Assault on Nanyang in Dynasty Warrior Origins.

Assault on Nanyang Walkthrough

Victory and Defeat Conditions

The main objective of this mission is to take over the enemy base while fighting alongside Sun Jian. Players will win if Liu Biao is defeated, but if Sun Jian flees or Yuan Shao’s forces arrive, the mission will fail. Keep an eye out for Sun Jian and help him defend against enemies while advancing bases.

Battle Preparation

To fight against hordes of enemies, players need the weapon they are comfortable with. We recommend using the Gnashing Fang, a podao-type weapon. It is a two-handed sword, lacking in speed but hitting heavily. Players can equip arts with a good crowd control capability; moreover, players can use Dispersion Arrow art, firing arrows that follow enemies. Wellspring Gem will help restore health for every 100 enemies defeated.

As the assault on Nanyang begins, the Wanderer will have to help Sun Jiao in capturing enemy bases. Keep an eye on Sun Jiao, as he might get injured while fighting enemy officers. Force yourself into the enemy bases by charging through the barricades and keep capturing all the enemy bases. Use arts to fend off enemy officers, and at the end, players will face Liu Biao with his army.

Liu Biao wields a spear and stands out easily on the battlefield. As the Wanderer and Sun Jiao pierce through the enemy forces, they will eventually defeat Liu Biao. Make sure to defeat him before Yuan Shao’s reinforcements arrive to complete the Assault on Nanyang mission in Dynasty Warrior Origins.

Victory Rewards

Players get 3 skill points for every 100 enemies defeated. As there are hordes of enemies, players will get a ton of skill points just for making it to the end of the mission. Additionally, weapon proficiency will increase based on the weapon used throughout the mission. The increase in weapon proficiency will help in unlocking new skill trees.
