Dynasty Warriors: Origins lacks a dedicated sprint button; your character automatically sprints after a few running steps. While sprinting offers decent speed, traversing large battlefields to aid officers often requires faster travel.
This is where your mount comes in, summonable at any time in the overworld or during battles. You can even engage in combat from horseback for quicker hit-and-run tactics. Here's how to acquire your first mount, level it up, and switch to other mounts.
Your initial mount is a free gift! After completing the second major battle, "Test Of Zheng Fei," in Chapter 1, a merchant will appear in the overworld. You'll find him northeast of Wan Castle, before reaching the camp. He's easily spotted near his horse. Simply speak to him to receive your mount; it will be automatically equipped.
Summon your mount by pressing down on the left joystick (console) or V (keyboard).
Your mount gains experience points (XP) based on completed missions, even if you don't actively ride it. XP is earned from missions and main story battles, but not from skirmishes. Missions are indicated by a red diamond with a soldier icon. These are medium-length engagements. The XP earned depends on battle duration, your riding time, and enemy charges. Leveling up your mount unlocks unique buffs every few levels, varying by mount.
Your starting mount is automatically equipped, but you can acquire and equip others. Manage your mounts in the Battle Preparation menu; it's the last option on the left. Each mount possesses unique advantages; some are inherently faster or superior. Consider switching when you obtain a new one. New mounts are rewarded for achieving maximum peace in a region; the reward is located at a nearby waypoint.
