How to fast travel in Crimson Desert: Abyss Nexus explained

Sick of running and want to know how to fast travel in Crimson Desert?

Unlike many games, where you can basically click a button and teleport to any settlement you've already visited, Crimson Desert handles things differently.

It also doesn't exactly tell you how fast travel works in the game, so that's why we've put together a quick little explainer to help you out.

How to fast travel in Crimson Desert: Abyss Nexus explained

In order to fast travel in Crimson Desert, you first have to unlock the corresponding Abyss Nexus you want to travel to.

Abyss Nexuses are specific locations found across the game that appear as a collection of stone blocks with a circular pedestal in the centre.

There's one just to the north of Hernand Castle, which is probably one of the earliest ones you'll stumble across.

To activate it, simply step onto the pedestal and it will light up beneath your feet.

Once you've got an Abyss Nexus activated, you can fast travel to it at any time by opening up your map, hovering over it and pressing Y/Triangle.

Make sure that you've got your Map settings set to 'All', as if you have it set to the 'Quests' tab, for example, you won't be able to see your Abyss Nexuses.

Despite being such an enormous game, fast travel locations in Crimson Desert are few and far between.

They're often quite well hidden as well, so if you're not keeping your eyes peeled while exploring, they're very easy to miss.

But that's just another reason to make sure you're exploring every nook and cranny of Pywel on your travels through it!
