Fast travel in Ghost of Yotei is one of the most useful features once you start exploring Ezo. It saves you time, especially when moving between story hubs, camps, and settlements. Here’s how to unlock and use it properly.
Fast travel access conditions reference
| Type of location | Condition | Can fast travel there? |
|---|---|---|
| Settlements / Inns / Named hubs | You’ve visited them | Yes |
| Camps | Must be discovered; if enemy-controlled, liberate first | After liberation |
| Undiscovered / unnamed areas | Never visited | No |
| During combat or scripted sequences | Active combat / storyline event | Blocked until done |
How to fast travel in Ghost of Yotei
Step 1
Press the touchpad on your controller to open the world map.
Step 2
Move the cursor over a destination you’ve already visited and discovered.
Step 3
Press Triangle to initiate the fast travel.
Step 4
If the destination is a larger hub (like a settlement or inn with multiple entry points), you may be prompted to pick a specific location to arrive (such as the main gate or courtyard).
Step 5
Wait for the screen to transition — you’ll be teleported to that location instantly.
Tips for fast travel
- Explore thoroughly — the more settlements and camps you discover, the more fast travel points you unlock.
- Clearing enemy camps is key, not just for safety but also to add more teleport points.
- Camps can also bring merchants and quest NPCs to you, saving trips back to towns.
- If fast travel doesn’t work, check if you’re in combat or locked in a story cutscene.
Fast travel but without compromising on lore
Fast travel is unlocked early in Ghost of Yotei and is free to use, letting you move easily between important points on the map. Just remember that you can’t warp out of combat or into areas you haven’t visited yet. It’s a powerful tool, but exploring on foot or horseback can still reveal hidden secrets you might otherwise miss.
