When Avowed was first revealed, it drew a lot of comparisons to a game like Skyrim. While there are some similarities, such as playing in third-person or unlocking new abilities, the Living Lands are not nearly as expansive as that other open-world game. You will need plenty of tips and tricks to survive, but getting around is one of the first problems you will want to overcome. Quests will take you back and forth across the zones, so fast travel will make your life much easier. Here's how to unlock and use fast travel.

How to fast travel

Fast travel can be done as soon as you unlock your first fast travel point. These can be either fast travel beacons, which are purple icons on your map, or campsites. All you need to do is approach one to unlock it as a new fast travel point.

Step 1: Once you have found a fast travel point, pause the game and go to your map screen.

Step 2: Highlight either a beacon or campsite that you wish to travel to.

Step 3: Confirm your selection and you will be whisked away to that location.

There are some areas and moments during the game, mainly in dungeons, where fast travel is disabled. Otherwise, you can utilize it whenever you wish.

When traveling to campsites, you also have the option to travel to the campsite, restore your HP, talk to companions, and do other tasks there, but return to your original location when leaving camp instead of moving to that campsite location. This is handy if you want to talk to do some quick upgrades or get new dialogue without having to travel back to wherever you currently are.

Minecraft has spent years proving that blocks can run on practically anything with a screen. On October 27, it will finally move into a home built specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. Mojang has confirmed that the native Switch 2 version of Minecraft will launch with Vibrant Visuals enabled by default, using the newer console’s additional power to spruce up its famously square Overworld. Existing Nintendo Switch owners will also receive a digital upgrade path, though Mojang says pricing and other details will arrive later.
