Congratulations on beating Dynasty Warriors: Origins! Now that the main story is behind you, it’s time to dive into the post-game content where the real fun begins. From harder challenges to secret unlockables, here’s everything you can get your hands on—and how to do it without losing your sanity (or your meat buns).

Post-Game Content: What’s New?

Completing the main story unlocks several new features and challenges. Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. Mission Replay and Story Rewind

Ever wish you could go back and make a different choice? Now you can. The game lets you revisit key missions and branching story paths through the Story tab at the inn. Perfect for those “What if?” moments.

2. Weapon Proficiency Cap Increase

Your weapons can now reach Rank 11, unlocking new properties and Battle Arts. Time to take that favorite sword of yours and make it even deadlier. Or just keep smashing buttons—it’ll work either way.

3. Ultimate Warrior Difficulty

Think the game was too easy? (It wasn’t.) Ultimate Warrior difficulty cranks up the heat with:

• Enemies that hit harder and faster.

• Smaller parry and evade windows.

• No meat buns. That’s right—no healing from random dumplings mid-battle.
  It’s brutal, but the extra Gold and Skill Points might make the pain worth it.

4. Challenges

Switching to Ultimate Warrior also unlocks Challenges, optional objectives with extra rewards. Think of them as the game’s way of saying, “Bet you can’t do this, but here’s a shiny prize if you can.”

5. Weapon Reforging

Visit the shop to unlock Weapon Reforging, where you can transfer traits or fuse identical weapons to make them stronger. Just remember: anything you use as material is gone forever—so think before you mash buttons.

The Big Unlockables

Lu Bu and His Halberd

Finally, you can recruit the terror of the battlefield, Lu Bu, as a companion. To unlock him:

1. Replay the Battle of Hulao Gate on Ultimate Warrior difficulty.

2. Beat him. Easier said than done.
   Once unlocked, you’ll also gain access to his iconic Halberd weapon for your character. Just try not to wield it like a fool—it’s Lu Bu’s, after all.

Red Hare: The Ultimate Horse

What’s Lu Bu without his trusty steed? To unlock Red Hare, you’ll need to:

1. Beat the game on the Wei or Shu route.

2. Defeat Lu Bu again at Battle of Xiapi.

3. Do it on Ultimate Warrior difficulty without healing. (Yes, really.) Once you have Red Hare, you’ll never want another horse—this one’s fast, flashy, and lets you dominate the battlefield in style.

For the Completionists

Want to 100% the game? Here’s your checklist:

1. See All Endings: Complete every faction’s campaign and explore all branching paths. Yes, this means siding with characters you might not even like.

2. Finish All Side Missions and Requests: Help those random officers on the world map and knock out every challenge.

3. Max Out Region Peace: Increase peace in all regions to unlock unique rewards.

4. Max Bond with All Officers: Fight alongside every officer and complete their personal requests.

5. Collect All Horses: Red Hare is the star, but you’ll need to grab all the others too.

6. Unlock All Weapons, Arts, and Accessories: Every weapon trait, Battle Art, and Old Coin reward needs to be in your collection.

Final Blurb

The post-game in Dynasty Warriors: Origins is packed with content to keep you busy for hours. Whether you’re unlocking Lu Bu, taming Red Hare, or surviving Ultimate Warrior difficulty without crying, there’s something for every kind of player.

So get out there, rewrite history, and show Lu Bu who’s boss. Just remember: no meat buns.
