Take note of these tips and tricks while doing the Battle of Wan Castle mission in Dynasty Warriors Origins:

  • If you are struggling, stay alive by breaking pots around the map to reveal some Meat Buns to regenerate your health.
  • Do not lose the ram. It can help a lot in infiltrating the castle, as the other options can be more challenging to do.
  • Always get rid of siege weapons when they show up. You need your allies to focus on attacking enemy forces. Adding another thing to worry about will only hinder their effectiveness in battle.
  • High-courage enemies can use attacks that are unblockable. Use special arts at the right time to counter their moves.
  • Officers with glowing Fortitude Gauges can be staggered if you break their gauge. This makes them receive bonus damage from attacks. Save your best attacks for when they are vulnerable.
