So far, we’ve found four of the five Elders in the game. Each has one of the Dynasty Warriors Origins Battle Arts to give you that’s unique to the sword. You can also get plenty of others from shops or by completing sidequests, establishing Dynasty Warriors Origins Bonds, and raising the peace level beyond certain milestones.

Here are all of the Dynasty Warriors Origins Elder locations.

You can find the Elders from the very beginning of each Chapter in Dynasty Warriors Origins. While they’re nowhere near as hard to find as some collectibles in other games, the one exception is that Chapter 3’s Elder requires you to play through some missions first to unlock a port. This will be before the pivotal Sun family mission, where you can save Sun Jian from his fate.

Grabbing and mastering these Battle Arts can help you overpower your enemies, especially if you haven’t beaten Lu Bu yet or have set the game to a higher difficulty level. Just make sure that you go into the equip menu as soon as you collect these items.

  • Chapter 1 – This Elder is in Jing Province, west of Wan Castle, fishing near the lake to the south. He’ll give you the Battle Arts Tome “Sword”: Mad Blade Rush.
  • Chapter 2 – Right from the start, you can find the Elder in the Yu Province to the northeast of the map. You’ll get the Battle Arts Tome “Sword”: Spree of Devastation.
  • Chapter 3 – You can find the Elder across the river in Xiangyang, which is across the river from Caiyang Port in Jing Province. Complete The Battle of Fan Castle during the Sun story in Chapter 3 to unlock the path to the Elder, who has the Battle Arts Tome “Sword”: Flying Dragon Slash.
  • Chapter 4 – Cross the river near Chibi in Yang Province and look near Chaisang to find the Elder. He gives you Battle Arts Tome “Sword”: Divine Eagle Dance.
