As fans of the Harry Potter franchise will know all too well, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a pretty big place. As such, getting around the castle in Hogwarts Legacy can be pretty tiresome, not to mention a little confusing due to its many winding corridors and its multi-leveled design. Thankfully, there is a way around this.
Following its introduction around the turn of the century, the fast travel mechanic has become a staple of open-world video games and is put to good use in Hogwarts Legacy. Players will unlock fast travel fairly early on in the game and will be able to use it to get from one side of the castle to the other in a matter of seconds
How to Unlock Fast Travel in Hogwarts Legacy
Players will unlock fast travel during the "Attend Your First Fay at Hogwarts" section of the game. After leaving their common room and meeting up with Professor Weasley, they'll eventually come to their first Floo Flames location, which will trigger the fast travel tutorial. It's all fairly straightforward, but for those having trouble, fast traveling in Hogwarts Legacy is as simple as opening up the map in the Wizard's Field Guide and selecting any of the previously visited Floo Flames Locations from the list.
How to Unlock New Fast Travel Points in Hogwarts Legacy
Unlocking new fast-travel locations in Hogwarts Legacy is as simple as walking past an undiscovered Floo Flames location. These are scattered right throughout Hogwarts, meaning that players will be unlocking them left, right, and center as they play through the main story and explore more of the castle. The game even lists undiscovered fast travel locations, meaning that players can get a pretty good idea of how much of an area they've explored just by looking at their field guide.
It's important to note that not all Floo Flames locations are available right away, with some hidden away behind locked doors. As players complete more main story quests and unlock new parts of the school though, they should have no trouble finding them all. Until then, there are Floo Flames locations outside near every key location. What's more, there are so many of them that the player's next objective will rarely be more than a minute or two from a fast travel point that they've already unlocked.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions are currently in development.
