Can You Save Sun Jian in Dynasty Warriors Origins?
Sun Jian was historically killed in the middle of the battle against Liu Biao's army at Xiangyang in 191 AD. Details on his death vary by source, with causes ranging from arrow barrages to boulder drops. Some of the prior Dynasty Warriors entries like Dynasty Warriors 8 have had hypothetical routes where the player could alter such a historical event. Therefore, some may wonder whether it is possible to rescue Sun Jian in Dynasty Warriors Origins. The short answer to this question is: Yes, you can save Sun Jian at the Battle of Xiangyang in Dynasty Warriors Origins. But while you can read the detailed methods to do the feat right below, be advised that this guide contains major spoilers for the stage. Screenshot by Siliconera When you start the stage from the eastern river bank, immediately head towards the southwest path and defeat any generals on the path to smoothen Sun Ce's army march. Do not even bother with the enemies camped around the northeast, although you may beat that one general Cai He who moves forward to pincer your allies. Around the time you're working on the base at the end of the narrow path, events on the south side should have led Sun Jian into a struggle at the map's southwest corner. If you want to rescue the clan leader, you must make haste to the westmost gate and have your troops open it. The rush will not be as easy as it seems, though, as the game will read your intention and thus generate a tough challenge on the way... Screenshot by Siliconera ...That's right. For whatever reason, apparitions of Zhang Jiao and his Yellow Turban lackeys will appear to prevent you from rescuing Sun Jian and avoiding his historical death. They will also block the only path to reach Sun Jian, so you have no choice but to destroy Zhang Jiao's ghost. However, this task will not be easy even with souped-up gear, as the ghost has maximum courage and thus will take a lot of beating to defeat. The absolute requirement to save Sun Jian is to reach him first before Huang Gai could. So once you have finally defeated Zhang Jiao's ghost, head south immediately. You may try to beat Huang Zu and other nearby officers on the way, but if it takes time and Huang Gai is also getting closer to the goal line, you really should prioritize reaching Sun Jian first. The Battle of Xiangyang stage in Dynasty Warriors Origins will end with an alternate ending as soon as you have successfully rescued Sun Jian. Note that this also means you cannot simultaneously accomplish the Ultimate Warrior difficulty challenge to beat the enemy leader Liu Biao at the north end of the fortress. If you want to do the latter mission, I'd recommend replaying the stage via Free Mode. Dynasty Warriors Origins is available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
