Here is a list of every main mission Dynasty Warriors: Origins and how long it takes to beat.

All story missions in Dynasty Warriors Origins

The main story of Dynasty Warriors: Origins spans the course of five lengthy chapters. Missions branch out from Chapter Three onward, depending on whether you prioritize Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Sun Jian’s forces. Ignoring the battles of one faction will lock you out of advancing that faction’s route further. Also, some of Chapter Three’s missions require you to take a side, thus harming your relations with a particular faction. Once you’re in Chapter Four, you’re locked to a particular faction until the end of the game.

How long is Dynasty Warriors Origins?

A typical playthrough on the normal difficulty (Wayfarer) ranges from 20 to 30 hours. Completionist playthroughs can take much longer due to the number of optional missions, Requests, Skirmishes, Old Coin rewards, Ultimate Warrior challenges, endings, and equipment that you can enhance. If you were to truly accomplish everything the game has to offer, it would take 60 or more hours.
