Is There a Chaos Difficulty Level in Dynasty Warriors Origins?
Most games in Koei Tecmo and Omega Force's Dynasty Warriors series have a difficulty level higher than Hard, which usually also has exclusive challenges that reward the strongest weapons. The difficulty level is usually known in English as "Chaos," and long-time players of the series will wonder whether Dynasty Warriors Origins also has one. The short answer to this question is: Yes. However, the difficulty level has a different name from prior entries. In addition, be advised that the more detailed answer will include some post-game content spoilers. When you are just starting Dynasty Warriors Origins, you can only choose from the Historian, Wayfarer, and Hero difficulty levels, which were originally known as Easy, Normal, and Hard. There will be no further difficulty level available... until you have reached an ending in your first story playthrough. One of the post-game content unlocks in Dynasty Warriors Origins will be the past series' equivalent of the Chaos difficulty level, which is now known as "Ultimate Warrior." The Ultimate Warrior difficulty will be even more relentless than the initially available Hero difficulty. In addition to increasingly aggressive soldiers, the time frame to register parries and perfect evasions will also become even shorter. However, players will also be able to enjoy drops of weapons with far better traits as a reward. Screenshot by Siliconera When you check the stage descriptions in the post-game playthrough, you can also notice new Challenge missions listed at the bottom right corner. Completing these challenges will let you unlock exclusive content that will also count toward the whole game's collection percentages. However, be advised that these Challenges must be done on the Ultimate Warrior difficulty for the rewards to be given. The Challenge rewards also have another difference from prior series entries. Earlier Dynasty Warriors games would only have challenges on the Chaos difficulty level to let players obtain the strongest weapons. In Dynasty Warriors Origins, these rewards are not limited to just weapons. Some of the Challenges will reward unique horses like the legendary Red Hare and Liu Bei's Hex Mark. Some others will come with exclusive Accessories and Battle Arts that the protagonist can equip. The reward list will also include additional troops to further enlarge the protagonist's bodyguard unit and Old Coins that must be collected to unlock the remaining rewards at the Shui Jing Retreat. Dynasty Warriors Origins is readily available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The post Is There a Chaos Difficulty Level in Dynasty Warriors Origins? appeared first on Siliconera.
