How to Unlock Fast Travel in Valor Mortis

Navigating the plague-ravaged landscapes of Valor Mortis can feel daunting, but thankfully, fast travel is available—even if it remains hidden during the initial hours. If you are worried about leaving behind missed items or unexplored side paths, rest easy; backtracking is entirely possible later on. Just bear in mind that gaining the ability to instantly traverse the map will require some progression.

Because swift movement is essential for a world built around Metroidvania-inspired exploration, here is everything you need to know about unlocking the fast travel mechanic in Valor Mortis.

How to Unlock and Use Fast Travel in Valor Mortis

Rest assured, the feature does exist within the game. However, you will need to invest a few hours into the campaign before you finally arrive at the Abandoned Church. Serving as your primary sanctuary, this location allows you to converse with fellow survivors, enhance your arsenal, and acquire vital supplies.

You will gain access to this sanctuary—and consequently unlock the fast travel network—right at the beginning of Chapter 3: Rendezvous. Once this milestone is reached, revisiting earlier regions and breaching previously locked routes becomes remarkably straightforward. Chapter 3 triggers immediately after you triumph over General Lothaire.

Utilizing the system is wonderfully straightforward: simply rest at any lantern, select the “travel” prompt, and choose your desired location on the map. Do keep a watchful eye on your surroundings, however, as resting at a lantern will respawn all standard enemies throughout the world, leaving boss encounters safely defeated.
