Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to fast travel in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/dragons-dogma-2-news\/\">Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, fast travel doesn\u2019t work the same in this game as it does in others. There are some hurdles to overcome in the system and it won\u2019t come cheap.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll cost your in-game wallet and maybe even your actual wallet. Microtransactions, eh?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not surprising that there are hefty caveats to fast travelling in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2. The game\u2019s director, Hideaki Itsuno, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/dragons-dogma-2-director-explains-why-less-fast-travel-can-be-a-good-thing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">is not a fan<\/a> of the feature and believes players can better take in the world around them without it.<\/p>\n<p>Walk (don\u2019t teleport) down through the rest of the page to find out how to fast travel in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to fast travel in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2: Explained<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There are a couple of different Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 fast travel systems \u2013 both of them will cost you money in-game and aren\u2019t too simple to use. You can <b>pay to travel in Oxcarts<\/b> or <b>use Portcrystals<\/b>. Both methods require some explanation.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to walk everywhere in Capcom\u2019s massive new RPG, you need to pay attention now.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to use Oxcarts in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>While it\u2019s not exactly \u201cfast\u201d fast travel, the best way to travel quickly in the early hours of Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 is to ride in Oxcarts.<\/p>\n<p>There should be an Oxcart route to major settlements and towns. Pay a small amount of Gold and you and your Pawns can travel in an Oxcart \u2013 as long as you time it right. Most leave early in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Use the signpost\/bell you should find close by to a settlement\u2019s gates to summon an Oxcart. Hop inside or talk to the driver and they\u2019ll tell you where the Oxcart is heading and how much Gold it\u2019ll cost you.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"b5e2ff4e52aef139121f583f238b31cb776c12bb\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"b5e2ff4e52aef139121f583f238b31cb776c12bb\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <p>Once you\u2019re in the Oxcart, it can take a long time for you to reach your destination but it will be much faster than walking, especially if you choose to sleep through the ride.<\/p>\n<p>Be warned, though, that your Cart can be attacked by monsters or bandits en route \u2013 it can even be destroyed.

provide the main fast travel system in Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2. These items can be found as permanent objects in major settlements or used as portable items that you can place down wherever you like.<\/p>\n<p>Playing through the game, you should unlock portable Portcrystals by completing particular story quests and side quests. Throughout your time in the game you should find or be given a few portable Portcrystals.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have enough of them, you can always buy them with real money. You can purchase a portable Portcrystal as a microtransaction for \u00a32.49 ($2.99 in the US) from the digital store on the platform of your choice \u2013 but given that you can unlock them for free in-game, this isn\u2019t the recommended way to go.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that you can only have 10 portable Portcrystals placed down at any one time \u2013 though you can always recover one you\u2019ve previously placed to use it again in a different location.<\/p>\n<p>You can fast travel back to any permanent or portable Portcrystal at any time by using a Ferrystone.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrystones, again, don\u2019t come cheap. One known location where you can buy them is the Vendor Philbert in Vernworth but you might also be able to purchase them from wandering Vendors you happen across (such as in ZaFrostPet\u2019s YouTube video below). One Ferrystone will set you back 10,000 Gold.<\/p>\n<p>Ouch.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"How to use Ferrystone Dragons Dogma 2\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JRP4-tkSty8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>You can find Ferrystones in the game, however. Open up every chest you come across and you\u2019re sure to happen across a Ferrystone or two quickly enough. Completing certain quests should reward you with Ferrystones, too.<\/p>\n<p>You might find that Ferrystones become more plentiful later on in the game, so we\u2019d suggest only using them when you absolutely have to \u2013 such as to complete a time-sensitive quest or when you\u2019re on basically no health and miles away from a settlement.<\/p> <p><strong>Subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free gaming newsletter<\/a> for all the latest intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
