The Crescent Blade is one of the most iconic weapons in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. It’s big, powerful, and perfect for slicing through hordes of enemies like they’re butter. If you’ve ever wanted to channel your inner Guan Yu and look incredibly cool while doing it, this is the weapon for you. Here’s how to unlock it and start charging into battle like the legend himself.

Step 1: Play the Rescue of Emperor Xian

To get your hands on the Crescent Blade, you’ll need to play through the Rescue of Emperor Xian battle. This mission is already intense, so make sure you’re geared up and ready for a fight.

Pro Tip: Take a strong companion with you for backup—it’s always better to have someone else distracting the hordes of enemies while you focus on the task at hand.

Step 2: Wait for Jia Xu to Arrive

The Crescent Blade isn’t handed out at the start of the mission (because that would be too easy). Instead, you’ll need to wait for Jia Xu to show up. He’ll make his dramatic entrance partway through the battle, surrounded by enough enemies to make your minimap look like a bowl of spaghetti.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the mission updates. The game will let you know when Jia Xu is on the scene, so you’re not left aimlessly running around.

Step 3: Defeat Jia Xu

Once Jia Xu arrives, it’s time to take him down. He’s not the toughest enemy you’ll face, but don’t underestimate him—he’ll have plenty of backup, and getting overwhelmed is a real possibility.

Battle Tips for Jia Xu:
1. Focus on crowd control first. Clear out the weaker enemies so you’re not constantly interrupted while fighting him.
2. Use Battle Arts to interrupt his stronger attacks. The quicker you can take him out, the better.
3. Don’t rush in blindly—keep your health in check and play it smart.

Step 4: Claim the Crescent Blade

Once Jia Xu is down for the count, the Crescent Blade is yours! This weapon isn’t just powerful—it gets stronger the more enemies you attack with it. That’s right, it rewards you for doing what Dynasty Warriors is all about: charging into the fray and causing mayhem.

Why Use the Crescent Blade?

Power Scaling: The more you fight, the stronger it becomes. It’s like the weapon equivalent of a snowball rolling downhill—unstoppable.
Crowd Control: Perfect for players who love plowing through waves of enemies. Its wide swings make it a beast in large battles.
Guan Yu Vibes: Let’s be real—half the fun is feeling like the legendary warrior himself.

Final Thoughts

The Crescent Blade is a must-have for anyone who loves charging headfirst into battle. Unlocking it isn’t too tricky, but it does require a bit of patience and some solid crowd control skills. Once it’s in your hands, though, you’ll wonder how you ever fought without it.

So, head to the Rescue of Emperor Xian, take down Jia Xu, and claim your rightful place as the ultimate battlefield powerhouse. Just don’t forget to strike a heroic pose while wielding it—Guan Yu would approve.
