How to fast travel in Diablo 4

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.

One of the key missions to help prove you're the true Arisen in Dragon's Dogma 2 is to figure out the real identity of the false Sovran. One clue you have as to figuring this out is hidden in the Nameless Village, though not all is as it seems there. The first step will be, of course, reaching this unassuming little town. If you're running in circles trying to reach it, here are some better directions to get to the Nameless Village.

Once you take this quest from Brant, a waypoint will be put on your map far to the east. Follow the general direction until you enter the zone where you need to start exploring to actually find it. If you follow the main road, you will find it blocked by a massive pile of boulders, forcing you to take a side path through the forest.

Open-world RPGs can be anywhere from around a dozen hours long to well over 100. Dragon's Dogma 2 is very unique, even among others in the genre, for not adhering to a lot of traditional design philosophies, such as how it handles fast travel. If anything, that will only add to your total playtime, plus there are all the optional quests to do, Vocations to try out and level up, and more if you're a completionist. If you're wondering if you have the time to fit Dragon's Dogma 2 into your schedule among all the other games releasing, here's how long you can expect this adventure to last.
How long is Dragon's Dogma 2?

For the main quest, Dragon's Dogma 2 can probably be beaten in around 25 hours, give or take. That's assuming you mainline the story as efficiently as possible and don't get stuck on any boss fights being under-leveled. A more realistic playthrough where you explore a bit, do some side content, and maybe go for the true ending will push you into the 30 to 35-hour range, as it did for us.
