One of the most fun parts of Forspoken is the magical parkour system you can use to traverse the game's world. However, the areas in the game are much larger than you might expect, and it will still take a while to get from one end of a zone to the other. Thankfully, a fast travel system exists, but not immediately. Here's how to fast travel in Forspoken to cut down on your travel time.

How to fast travel in Forspoken

Fast travel won't be available until you start the game's third chapter and are directed to the first Pilgrim's Refuge.

Step 1: After leaving the Cipal, activate the Pilgrim's Refuge by entering it to put it on your map

Step 2: By opening your map and highlighting this refuge, and any other Pilgrim's Refuge you unlock, you will be given the prompt to fast travel there. Alternatively, you can press the L3 button to bring up a list of locations you have discovered that you can fast travel to.

Step 3: Unlocking Belfries on your map will also make them available as fast travel points.

While you can only fast travel to these specific points, you are able to initiate fast travel from anywhere on the map at any time. The only instances where fast travel is restricted are when you're engaged in combat or in the middle of a main quest.

How to get and use Scouts in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

There are plenty of familiar mechanics returning in Assassin's Creed Shadows, such as fast travel and earning XP to level up both Naoe and Yasuke. One of the many new features you will be introduced to early in the game is the Scouts. Once you unlock the Hideout and are given your initial Scouts, they will become an essential tool for finding your next objective and gathering vital resources needed to upgrade your Hideout. However, how to use them or get more isn't very clearly explained for how essential they are. Let us fill you in on all the details about how Scouts work in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
How to get and use Scouts

Scouts have several primary functions, the first and most important being to scout areas on the world map. Very often, your next objective will not be placed on the map, but instead, you will have directions on the rough location of where it will be. This is where Scouts are necessary. By following the game's directions on the map, you need to put your cursor over the area it is describing and assign one or more Scouts to reveal the area. You do this by pressing Square or X to bring up the dispatch menu and then deploying them at that area. You can see how many Scouts are available on the bottom left of your screen and can assign multiple to an area by pressing the right trigger. The more Scouts you use to scout an area, the larger the area they will reveal.

If you're worried that this game might be another 100-hour time investment to fully complete, let's use our Eagle Vision to scout out how long Assassin's Creed Shadows is before you start playing.

The Assassin's Creed games have always been open-world titles that set you loose in a variety of historical locations. Assassin's Creed Shadows is no different, save for the introduction of the long-requested Japanese setting and dual protagonists. While you're earning XP and getting deeper into the game's story, it will become less and less viable to travel by foot or horse between objectives. That's where fast travel comes into play, but the system works slightly differently in this entry than usual. Here's how fast travel works in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
How to use fast travel

The core of the fast travel system in Assassin's Creed Shadows should be familiar to anyone who has played the series before. You will unlock viewpoints at set locations by climbing up to high points and synchronizing to give yourself a fast travel point, but there is another map marker you can use to fast travel as well. A new building called Kakurega are featured in most major towns and villages in the game that need to be unlocked by purchasing them with Mon. Once you do, they provide you with another fast travel point.
