The Witcher 3 is a phenomenal RPG with an expansive open world that keeps players returning for more. While The Witcher 3 has a massive map, riding from one place to another can become tiring, especially since players are bound to come across enemies and obstacles along the way. Fortunately, players can solve this problem via the fast travel mechanic.

Whether players want to head to a new quest or find an armor set, moving from one location to another can be time-consuming unless they use the fast travel mechanic. Fortunately, fast traveling is easy once players know how it works. Keeping this in mind, this guide will explain how players can fast travel in The Witcher 3, along with other useful information.

How to Unlock Fast Travel

All Quest Objectives On Map

Players will unlock the fast travel mechanic early in the game when they arrive at the first signpost in White Orchard. Geralt arrives at White Orchard with Vessemir, which serves as the first playable area in the game.

The game has 228 signposts, serving as fast travel locations. To find and use a signpost, players must find each and every one of them. Once a signpost has been discovered, it will be marked with a green signpost icon on the map.

How to Fast Travel by Land and Sea

Players can use the fast travel mechanic by following these simple steps:

  1. Walk up to a signpost.
  2. Interact with the signpost.
  3. Once the map pops up, select a signpost to the desired location.
  4. After a loading screen, players will stand in front of the signpost of their selected location.

Players cannot fast travel while in combat.

On the flip side, fast traveling by sea is a bit different. To fast travel by sea, follow these steps:

  1. Players must make sure they are on a boat.
  2. Open the map.
  3. Select a harbor represented by an anchor icon to fast travel to the desired location.

While players will need to find harbors to use them for fast travel, many are available for use from the get-go.

Fast travel is incredibly useful when going back to complete missed quests. The world of The Witcher 3 may be vast, but the fast travel mechanic saves players time while exploring.
