At the start, your horse will have relatively limited abilities, which can then be enhanced through riding experience via long distances or fighting on horseback.
When exploring Dynasty Warrior 9’s vast world map, players are able to call on their noble steed to help them quickly traverse long distances. Gems and accessories can also be crafted, which provide substantial boosts to the player. To unlock the abilities to craft weapons, the required scrolls for each weapon must be collected, with some weapon’s blueprints split across multiple scrolls. Another way of ensuring an edge in battle is through crafting new weaponry. By visiting a teahouse, or the player’s own hideaway, materials such as meat and vegetables can be used to prepare a meal that will grant temporary boosts to their characters. One skill warriors can use to prepare for tough encounters is cooking. It may be tempting to take on these foes to gain the plethora of takings, but the situation should be carefully assessed – as fleeing from battle may be the safer option.
“In Dynasty Warriors 9, roaming off the beaten path opens up greater experiences outside of the main story line - allowing powerful enemies to appear and challenge players with their advanced abilities and skills.
In addition to the new stuff shown in the trailer, Koei Tecmo provided further information about Dynasty Warrior 9’s new cooking, crafting, and horseback riding!
