Glimpses from Escape from Xiaopei in Dynasty Warriors Origins (Image via Koei Tecmo)

1) Southeast skirmishes (point A and south base)

Begin by heading to the southeast area to confront Wang Kai. Dispatch him swiftly, using battle arts and combos to clear the area. Then, proceed to the south base to eliminate enemies like Song Xian.

• While fighting, collect Meat Buns from nearby pots to maintain your health.
• As you clear these areas, Li Dian will move to assist Liu Bei, boosting allied morale.

2) Supporting Liu Bei (south point and center point E)

After securing the southern base, head to the south point to assist Liu Bei. Defeat Wei Xu to ensure his safety, then move toward Center Point E to support Xiahou Yuan.

• Here, you’ll face enemies like Zhao Shu and other generals. Use tactics like encouragement to adopt an aggressive approach.
• Securing the central base helps Liu Bei’s forces as they continue toward the escape point.

3) Eastern and Northeastern bases

Shift your focus to the east base, where flaming volleys and musou attacks can help clear out enemy forces. You’ll encounter tough foes, like Wei Yue and Chang Xi, in the northeast base. Take them down using a combination of battle arts and companion swaps with Guo Jia.

Once Liu Bei reaches Point H at the center, rush to assist him and Xiahou Dian. Defeat enemies like Chen Qun, Yuan Huan, and Sun Kang using a mix of volleys, extreme musou attacks, and combos.

Afterwards, head to Guan Yu’s location to assist him in defeating Zhang Liao.

4) Northern ambush and base control

As Liu Bei progresses toward the escape point in the northwest, an ambush from Lu Bu’s forces will block the route with a rock slide. Head to the north enemy base to confront Gao Shun.

• Use musou attacks, combos, and encouragement tactics to take down Gao Shun and stop the ballistae targeting Liu Bei.
• Securing this base restores map control and clears the path for Liu Bei’s escape.

5) Final escape and Chen Gong’s stand
