How to fast travel in Diablo 4

By

Sanctuary has never been bigger or more dangerous than it is in Diablo 4. It doesn't help that it takes quite a while before you're given the ability to buy and ride a mount, but fast travel is thankfully easy and available almost right away. Because it is so simple to do, the game doesn't bother telling you about it, which makes it somewhat easy to miss in a twist of fate. Instead of slogging back and forth across the horrid lands all day, here's how to fast travel in Diablo 4.

How to fast travel

Fast travel in Diablo 4 doesn't cost you anything in terms of resources, so there's no downside to using it as soon as you can!

Step 1: Unlock your first Waypoint by finishing the opening and reaching Kyovashad.

Step 2: The Waypoint is a circular symbol found in all towns that you activate by standing on and interacting with them.

Step 3: Whenever you want to travel to any discovered Waypoint, open your map and put your cursor over your desired Waypoint location.

Step 4: Press your confirm button and a small timer will fill up below your character. So long as you don't interrupt it, or aren't disturbed by a monster, you will instantly warp as soon as it is filled.

Step 5: Arrive at your destination!

You may also notice that, upon arrival at your town of choice, the portal you came through will remain. If you don't leave the town, that portal will stay and act as a direct passage back to wherever you left from. So, if you need to stop off at a shop before entering a Stronghold, you can teleport to town, fix up your inventory, and then go back through the portal to right where you came from instead of needing to get there all over again.

How to unlock fast travel in Another Crab’s Treasure

Another Crab's Treasure is a fantastical soulslike set deep under the ocean where danger lurks around every corner. And like other games in the genre, it's often brutally difficult to overcome the various challenges you'll encounter. As such, you may find yourself wanting to backtrack for level grinding, to uncover new secrets, or to buy additional items in the game's main hub. However, you may notice early in the game that you haven't yet unlocked the ability to fast travel between the multitude of Moon Snail Shells (aka "bonfires") you've found. Here's how and when you'll unlock fast travel.
How to unlock fast travel
In the opening hours of the game, you may notice that you can access your skill tree, which will show a skill called Shelleportation. But you may be discouraged to see that you aren't able to apply any points to it yet. That's because the game doesn't open up this feature until you've advanced a few hours into the story.

To unlock fast travel, you'll need to work your way through the first few main areas of the game until you reach a boss called the Polluted Platoon Pathfinder. After beating this baddie, you'll soon find yourself teleporting to the Moon Snail's Domain. Here, you'll learn about the power of Umami, as well as unlock access to your skill tree.

How to hack in Fallout 4

No matter what perks or skills your character has in Fallout 4, hacking will always come down to your ability as a player. There's no way to cheat the system here, and if you don't grasp what the game is asking you to do, you're mostly out of luck. Terminals will hide great loot behind their cryptic puzzles, as well as allow you to take over certain controls to turn your enemy's security against them. Some have very interesting logs about certain characters or events for all you lore junkies out there. Hacking has tons of uses, so let's brush up on your computer skills and give you a refresher on how to hack in Fallout 4.
How to hack in Fallout 4
When you first interact with a terminal to hack in Fallout 4, it will be a little overwhelming. As long as you have a high enough hacking skill to attempt a hack, you can go right into the minigame.

The basic idea of hacking is to find words hidden in that jumble of letters and symbols. Your goal is to find the correct word to crack the terminal before you run out of attempts. Once you find any word and select it, the terminal will tell you how close that word is to the correct one based on how many letters it has in the same space as the answer in the form of a likeness rating. The higher the rating, the more letters it has in common. It is somewhat similar to Wordle, only you don't type in the words yourself.
