how to fast travel in skyrim 5

Fast Travel (Skyrim)

• Edit source
• View history

Fast Travel is a method of travel in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim . It is a way of quickly "teleporting" to any previously discovered location . The travel takes place almost instantaneously in real-world time through a loading screen , but in game time will still pass by as if the Dragonborn had walked there. When using fast travel, the time elapsed may be longer than the time it would have taken to run to the destination, especially when the distance is short.

Fast Travel can be done via the world map or by using one of the carriages stationed near the main gate of many cities. Fast travel via world map is free, but can only be done to a location that has already been discovered. Travel via carriage is limited to major cities, regardless if they have been visited or not before, with a fee relative to distance and the size of the destination city (for example it costs more to travel from Whiterun to Dawnstar than from Windhelm to Solitude even though the distance between Windhelm and Solitude is greater). The Hearthfire DLC allows the Dragonborn to hire a carriage for their homestead , which will also go to smaller cities  and towns ( Darkwater Crossing , Dragon Bridge , Ivarstead , Karthwasten ,  Kynesgrove , Old Hroldan Inn , Riverwood , Rorikstead , Shor's Stone , and Stonehills ).

With Dawnguard , fast travel can also be done between Castle Volkihar and the main island of Skyrim by boat. With Dragonborn , the initial trip to Solstheim must be by boat. (Conventional fast travel can be used later, between the docks at Windhelm and Raven Rock .)

• 1 Conditions
• 2 Fast travel time

Conditions [ ]

The fast travel cannot be done while in any of the following conditions:

• While indoors
• While jumping
• While falling
• While mounting or dismounting a horse .
• While being too close to enemies
• While being pursued by enemies/ Hold Guards
• While taking health damage (e.g. from poison )
• Riding on horseback.
• Under the effect of a Fortify Carry Weight potion that is strong enough. There is no limit on fast travel distance while the potion is in effect. However, the effect of the potion immediately wears off after the arrival causing the Dragonborn to be overburdened again.

Fast travel time [ ]

Approximate time to travel between cities/towns wearing Light Armor , measured by in-game hours:

• The amount and type of armor worn affects how much time passes during fast travel.
• Fast traveling while on foot or on horseback takes the same amount of time. The only difference will be how the Dragonborn arrives: on foot next to the horse, or on horseback.
• Any positive or negative effects (such as from a disease ) will still progress during fast travel.
• Neither the Dragonborn, their horse, or any companion will encounter any enemies during fast travel.
• Due to the respawning of enemies , dragons and creatures being scripted to happen when fast travelling; if fast travel is never used, after a certain time, encounters with them will reduce noticeably.
•  PC     360     PS3    When arriving at a location by fast travel, random creatures can spawn in front of the Dragonborn. For example, a non-hostile bandit might spawn every time they fast-travel, who can be talked to but will become hostile if attacked. A similar bug happens when fast-traveling to Falkreath , causing all of the Hold Guards to spawn at the entrance to the city.
•  PC    Fast traveling with followers to northern cities like Windhelm or the College of Winterhold can trigger a sliding effect on arrival. Normally, this effect is not critical; however, it is possible to sometimes slide for a very long distance and fall from a cliff.
•  360    After waiting in a location for a long time (two or three weeks), or if multiple other characters have been played before returning to play as the affected character, fast traveling to a location might spawn enemies that have made into thralls (or raised as zombies) in the past. They will attack each other unless they are in the same faction. (Only bandits or spiders, for example).
•  360     PS3    If fast travel is selected to any location and the back button is immediately pressed, the fast travel will not occur, the game will no longer be paused and the character menu will not be able to be opened. The pause menu can be opened, but saving the game will be the only option that functions, not loading an existing save. The "quit game" option is available, however, allowing a more time consuming reload of the game by saving and exiting the game. Reloading the game will fix this.
•  360 (Fix)     PS3 (Fix)    Manually shut down the console, as any attempt to open the Xbox or PS3 menu will result in the loading circles on every option and they will never load.
•  PC     360    Fast traveling on horseback to the College of Winterhold may cause one to appear several feet above the bridge.
•  PC (Fix)    Quickly Fast traveling to another place before the horse falls off may solve the problem.
•  PC     360     PS3    Sometimes, when attempting to fast travel, the game will say "You cannot fast travel while guards are pursuing you," even if guards are not pursuing the Dragonborn.
•  360     PS4    Fast traveling from a snowy location can sometimes cause it to snow in areas that do not normally experience snowy weather conditions.
•  PC (Fix)    Fast traveling to any location will fix this.
•  PC (Fix)    Exiting the game to the desktop restarting will fix this.
• By opening the Journal and pressing the "show on map" button for quest objectives it is possible to access the map, and thus fast travel even under circumstances that normally prevent access to the map, such as after the Dragonborn dies or at the beginning of the game while Helgen is under attack.

Skyrim – How to Fast Travel Between Towns, Cities, and More

How to Fast Travel – Skyrim

Fast travelling is going to be your best friend in Skyrim. The world is massive, and you’ll be juggling a ton of quests constantly sending you to each corner of it. To make sure you don’t waste your life running around the map, here’s how to fast travel and save yourself a lot of headaches.

First, you’ll need to make sure you’re outside. You won’t be able to fast travel inside a cave, building, or other structure. Next, make sure you aren’t in combat and that there aren’t any enemies nearby. You won’t be able to fast travel unless you’re safe. And last up on the warnings list, you cannot fast travel if you’re overburdened, or carrying more in item weight than the max capacity your stamina affords you.

Then, pull out your map. Hit Circle on PlayStation and B on Xbox to bring up your menu, then hit the down button to head to your map. Move your cursor over a landmark you’ve visited at least once before, be it a city, a cave, or other notable location. Select this, and choose to fast travel there at the prompt. You’ll then find yourself magically teleported to your desired spot.

Fast Travel

• VisualEditor
• View history

Fast Travel is available from the world map . On the map, dark markers indicate locations you know about but have not yet visited, while light markers indicate locations you have discovered. Select any light marker to travel there.

You cannot fast travel from interiors or while in combat . While fast travelling, time moves forward depending on how far you go. If you have a horse, it will fast travel with you. If you fast travel to a city, your horse will be placed in the nearest stable.

The name of this method of transportation can be misleading as within the game, the time taken to reach the destination is not any shorter, it only appears instantaneous to the player.

Skyrim survival mode: How to enable survival mode and survival mode tips in Skyrim: Anniversary Edition

How to survive a harsher Tamriel in the Anniversary Edition.

Survival Mode in Skyrim is a particularly unforgiving experience, but for players who like a challenge, it's a great way to experience something new in the 2021's Anniversary Edition.

This page explains everything you need to know about Survival Mode in Skyrim, such as how to enable Survival Mode , survival mode differences - including changes to travel and camping - as well as our Skyrim survival mode tips .

A feature which ties nicely into the addition of survival mode is fishing - which you can also use in a non-survival mode playthrough.

On this page:

How to enable survival mode in Skyrim, and what to do if not in settings explained

What is survival mode in skyrim survival mode changes, including fast travel, explained, skyrim survival mode tips and tricks, from survival mode camping to cooking.

Survival mode can be found in the Settings are of the menu, by selecting Gameplay then enabling Survival Mode.

If it is not in the settings, then you are likely in a new save - and you have to complete the tutorial of Skyrim first.

Once you complete the 'Unbound' intro quest with either Hadvar or Ralof, you'll receive a pop-up notification about Survival Mode. It gives you a brief explanation on what to expect from the mode: such as you needing to eat, to be more wary about catching diseases, the need to sleep, etc before asking you whether you want to enable it or not. If that sounds like fun, you select yes.

From there on out, you'll be playing Skyrim on Survival Mode - which means it's a fair bit harder, but who doesn't love a good challenge?

Nonetheless, if Survival Mode turns out to be too difficult, it's easy to turn off. Head to Settings, go to Gameplay and you'll be able to disable it without having to worry about any consequences.

The opposite of this is also true, as you're able to enable Survival Mode on any previous saves you have started or imported into the Anniversary Edition.

Survival Mode in the Anniversary Edition is a new, exciting way to make your time in the continent of Skyrim a little more challenging and fun.

When enabling Survival Mode, players will need to meet certain requirements in order not to get sick and die. These requirements are: be well-fed, warm, physically well, and well-rested.

However, these requirements won't always be easy to meet as Survival Mode puts a heapload of restrictions on you. These are:

• No Fast Travel: You want to just do a quick trip to Riften to pick up something you forgot? That's no longer possible in Survival Mode. You'll have to walk!
• Reduced Carry Weight: Skyrim's carry weight restrictions are already pretty unforgiving at times, this makes it so you really do need to just pack the essentials.
• Level Up via Sleeping: In vanilla Skyrim you can level up wherever and whenever, but here you can only do so after you sleep.
• Reduced Stamina/Mana: If you're hungry, cold or fatigued, you'll suffer from a reduction of Stamina or Mana, represented by the darkening of the Stamina/Mana bar.
• Warm/Cold Meters: Depending on whether you're hot or cold, you'll be shown a Snowflake or a Sun at the top of your HUD. This can affect you to the point you can die if you don't cool down or get warm.
• Health: When in Survival Mode, health doesn't come back after waiting for a little while. You'll need to eat, sleep or use a health potion in order to get back to tip-top shape.

There's a lot of factors to consider with survival mode - here are some tips and tricks to help you along the way:

• Want to know what's affecting you right now? Head to Active Effects in the Magic menu and you'll see what being hungry, tired and cold does to affect your gameplay.

• Don't enter water when cold - you'll more than likely catch a disease and there's a high chance you can die and lose your progress.
• Warm soup can heat you up - In the frozen tundra with nowhere to go for another 10 miles? Don't fret, eat some soup. It'll not only keep you fed, but will keep you nice and toasty. If that doesn't work, there's always a torch to keep your bones warm.

• Cook your food - sometimes it gets desperate when you're in a dungeon and there's no food to eat but the raw fish you caught outside, but it's always better to cook your food before eating it. Just like real life, eating raw food can lead to food poisoning in Skyrim.

• Fishing is the best way to get food quickly and easy, as long as you know where the best fishing spots are.
• Craft camping gear - Included in the Anniversary Edition content through the Content Creation Club, crafting camping gear will make it so you're able to set down camp in the wilderness, giving you a warm fire, a place to cook and a place to settle in for the night.

• The colder you get, the slower you are. It also affects your stamina and how fast you swing your weapons and the effectiveness of your stealth.
• Travelling in a horse and cart to far off places will make you tired and hungry, so don't get into one if you're already pretty fatigued and hungry, otherwise you risk dying on the journey to your location.

Skyrim: how to fast travel when over-encumbered.

It is still possible to fast travel when over-encumbered in Skyrim. Doing so requires potions, mounts, or creative use of necromantic thralls.

Looting items only to become over-encumbered is a nuisance for any The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim player who wants to sell or store their stuff. Triggered when the player collects enough items to exceed their carry weight, the over-encumbered status in Skyrim prohibits the player from fast traveling , sprinting, and running. It basically reduces the game to a slog, with the player character only able to slowly walk to wherever they need to go. If the player happens to get into a fight, it is even worse, as the over-encumbered player will not be able to dodge or run away from any incoming attacks.

Most players try to erase over-encumbrance in Skyrim by increasing their carry weight, and it’s a valid enough strategy with allthe methods players have available. Increasing stamina, getting the Extra Pockets pickpocket perk, and making use of certain enchantments can all increase carry weight significantly. But, sometimes, it is not enough, and players can't bear to leave any item behind. Followers are not always enough to carry the player’s heavy burdens. In these cases, players can use three other methods to fast travel while holding all their stuff.

Related:  Skyrim: How to Get the Unbreakable Lockpick (Skeleton Key)

One of the best methods for fast traveling while over-encumbered in Skyrim is to make sure to always carry a powerful potion that can increase carry weight. This can be a Fortify Carry Weight potion or a Strength potion, as long as it increases the player’s carry weight capacity enough to temporarily erase the encumbered status. Players will want to be sure to either buy or craft the most powerful potion possible. When that potion is ingested, they can immediately open the map and select a location. They should arrive at that location with no hassle, but, after fast traveling, the potion’s effects wear off, which makes the player is over-encumbered again. Players should use their opportunity to reach a town or city where they can unload their loot.

Use Mounts or Necromancy to Fast Travel While Over-Encumbered in Skyrim

Another option for traveling long distances while over-encumbered in Skyrim is to use a mount like a horse, as these creatures are capable of carrying the player regardless of the amount of loot they are carrying. It really is that easy, provided the mount is conveniently nearby. But, for most mounts, having one close by can be a bit challenging since most are skittish by nature. Arvak is the most ideal mount for over-encumbered travel purposes since he can be summoned in any outdoor location.

The last method is rather odd, but it can get the job done. If the player character has some skill in conjuration, they can use a corpse as a temporary pack mule. To do this, they should approach a recently slain enemy like a bandit or draugr , enter its inventory, and load it with as much as it can carry. If players lose their over-encumbered status by doing this, then they can use a spell like “raise zombie” or “reanimate corpse” to turn the dead body into a thrall. They should fast-travel before the spell wears off and will find themselves at their desired location with a pile of ashes right next to them. Those ashes should have all the items that the player deposited on the corpse.

Skyrim:Dragon Riding

Dragon riding is a new gameplay mechanic added by the Dragonborn add-on . In order to ride a dragon , you must acquire all three words of the Bend Will shout and use it on a dragon. The dragon will then land and allow you to climb onto its back and ride it. You cannot directly control the dragon while riding, but can give it certain instructions. Unlocking the third word of the Bend Will shout starts the final quest of the Dragonborn main questline , in which you're likely to ride your first dragon . After you do this, a help section will be added in the menu for dragon riding.

You can lock on to a single enemy which causes the dragon to attack that target. The dragon will then use a standard aerial attack pattern and can be assisted by you via shouts and spells. Area of effect spells or summons cannot be used while riding a dragon. The use of weapons (such as bows and melee weapons) are mostly limited as well.

To fast travel to different areas, simply select the location on your map as you normally would. In terms of in-game time, fast traveling on a dragon is almost immediate. Once given the command to land, the dragon will return to ground level where you can dismount. The dragon will then either aid you in combat, attack you, or simply leave. You cannot fast travel on a dragon to a different worldspace. This means you cannot travel to and from walled cities, or between Solstheim and Skyrim .

• 3 Dragon Speech
• 4 Achievements

Commands [ edit ]

It's impossible to directly control the dragon while riding, but they will follow the following commands:

• Lock Target: Lock onto any potential targets on sight, hostile or non-hostile. If you give this order while a target is already locked, you can unlock from the previous target.
• Switch Target: Switch target from all locked ones and decide which one to attack. The health bar of the target will be shown on your screen. You can order your dragon to do so even in combat. Any target in sight can be chosen in this way, regardless of whether it has been found before.
• Attack: Attack the chosen target. Your dragon will keep attacking the target with its own means until the target dies. You can cancel the attack by switching to another target.
• Land: Find a potential area to land and dismount your dragon. You can order your dragon to do so even in combat. If you give this order again before landing successfully, the previous landing command will be canceled and you can fly with your dragon back to the sky.

Detailed key set information can be found here .

Combat [ edit ]

During combat, you are allowed to give your dragon commands. If you have given it an attack command and locked onto a target, it will attack the target until its attack has successfully hit the target or until the dragon is called off. It might take some time for the dragon to actually kill the target, as it will continuously circle until it is in the correct position to attack. If the target moves too fast or finds cover, the dragon may be unable to attack; in this case, it will fall back and continue to circle until the target is vulnerable. If there are several enemies around, the dragon will first dispatch its primary target, then select another automatically.

If the dragon you're riding takes too much damage during combat, it can be killed; if this happens, you will plummet to the earth and most likely die. Should your dragon be struck by the Unrelenting Force ‎ shout, you may get knocked off, which will probably also result in your death.

While riding a dragon, you can only use certain spells and shouts. You are limited mainly to Destruction, Restoration, and Alteration spells while mounted. When casting, you need to pay attention to the effective range of your spells and other factors such as the landscape. The dragon has a fast movement speed, so you must remember that it may be hard to actually hit the enemies.

The following is a list of spells and dragon shouts which may be cast from the back of a dragon:

• Other spells can be equipped while riding a dragon for the first time after loading a save, however, they cannot be used and the game will remind you "You cannot cast that type of spell while riding a dragon."

Dragon Speech [ edit ]

When mounted, dragons will give various responses to your commands.

• " Zu'u fent aam . I am at your command."
• "Hail, thuri . Shall we fly together?"
• "How can I serve you, thuri?"
• "As you command."
• "Yes, thuri."
• " Mu fen krif ."
• "At once. Zu'u fen al ."
• " Drem . There is no prey here."
• "I sense nothing nearby."
• " Krosis , the land below us is empty of prey."
• " Krosis, thuri . That is impossible."
• "As you command. Mu daal wah golt .
• "I will look for a spot to land."
• "Yes, Thuri. Wah golt . I will land at once."
• " Bo Pruzaan . Better to fly."
• "I must leave you now."
• "I have served you for long enough. Tiidi do ahmik oblaan ."
• " Zu'u ni zaamiil . You cannot command me forever."
• " Ahmik oblaan . My service to you is over."

Achievements [ edit ]

One achievement is related to dragon riding:

Notes [ edit ]

• Sahloknir and Durnehviir are unaffected by the Bend Will shout, and therefore cannot be ridden.
• Dragon taming is only allowed in the worldspaces of Skyrim, Solstheim, and Apocrypha. Because of this, Alduin , Vulthuryol , and the skeletal dragon encountered in Labyrinthian cannot be ridden.
• The Throat of the World is listed as a bad location for dragon taming and so Paarthurnax cannot be ridden. Odahviing can be tamed and ridden there though.
• Your horse will follow you if you fast travel on a dragon to a different location.
• If a hostile dragon is encountered, the tamed dragon will proceed to fight it and will continue to climb higher into the sky until one of the dragons is reduced to 30% health and flies down to crash land.
• If you order a dragon you are riding to kill an NPC, you incur a bounty for the death. [ verification needed — Do you actually? (yes) ]
• In Survival Mode , dragon riding is the only way to use fast travel besides carriages and boats.
• If you engage another dragon whilst riding one, the battle will be almost entirely airborne, at least until one or both dragons reaches a certain threshold of health (usually half, or sometimes lower). You will also end up very high in the sky; higher than normal when battling a dragon from the ground.

Bugs [ edit ]

• When riding a dragon, if the dragon flies through a mountain, you may disappear and the game may crash.
• Reload a save before riding the dragon to fix this.
• Reading an Elder Scroll may also fix this.
• Getting off and then getting back on the dragon may resolve this.
• While in flight, your dragon and everything around you may slow down to a near walking speed.
• If a dragon you are riding flies outside the world boundaries you will get stuck in mid air, but still be able to do all the things you can normally do while riding a dragon. Reloading a previous save will fix this. ?
• When you mount a dragon after taming it, your character may stand with arms and legs wide upon the dragon where your character is supposed to sit.
• When mounting a dragon from an elevated level, you may mount 'empty space' above the dragon and rapidly rise upwards for a few moments, usually resulting in a fatal fall shortly after. ?
• If using Bend Will on a dragon and he is killed while speaking to you, he will begin to turn to ash and give you a soul, but still be alive and rideable.
• Though you are supposed to be able to use certain spells from the Dragon's back, you may be unable to, no matter which or how many Dragons you ride. ?

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - How To Unlock Fast Travel

Recruit Carrie to unlock Fast Travel in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

Quick Links

When does fast travel unlock in eiyuden chronicle: hundred heroes, how to recruit carrie in eiyuden chronicle: hundred heroes.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is the spiritual successor to the iconic Suikoden series. It's a throwback title that feels and plays like a follow-up to the first two Suikoden games. As such, it's a JRPG that embraces its old-school sensibilities far beyond homage. This includes forcing players to explore Eiyuden Chronicle 's world as much as possible before unlocking the Fast Travel ability.

Like Suikoden, players must encounter and recruit a special character who can teleport the party to towns, villages, and cities. In the Suikoden series , this mainstay character was Viki, for Eiyuden, Carrie The Teleporter Chaos Girl picks up the baton. This guide will show you how to find and recruit Carrie to unlock fast travel in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

Eiyuden Chronicle: How to Hunt Three Wild Boars in Redthroat Ridge (Kuroto Recruitment Guide)

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes proudly wears its old-school nature on its sleeve and wants you to explore its beautiful world and discover as much as possible without missing anything. As a result, the Fast Travel mechanic doesn't become available until later in the story when the party reaches the Euchrisse area long after the town-building mechanics open up. Nowa and the party will encounter a teleporter called Carrie in the town of Hishahn . Until then, keep playing the story, enjoy its world, and explore as much as possible.

When the party arrives in Hishahn as part of the main story , they can meet Carrie for three encounters by approaching the northwest bridge in the town.

Encounter One At Hishahn's Northwest Bridge

• Carrie teleports in front of the party and falls flat on her face.
• After a brief conversation and denial of Carrie's fall from the sky, she will ask Nowa a question.
• It doesn't matter how Nowa answers, as Carrie will teleport away.

Encounter Two At Hishahn's Northeast Bridge

• After Carries teleports away, the party must walk over to the northeast bridge.
• Carrie will reappear and fall out of the sky again.
• Once again, Carrie refuses to acknowledge her fall and claim perfection.
• After some dialogue options, where both answers are correct, she will teleport away for the second time.

There are other recruitable characters to look out for in Hishahn, like Huang the fisherman.

Encounter Three At Hishahn's Southeast Bridge

• Head to the bridge in the southeast, and Carrie will appear and fall out of the sky again.
• She’ll ask another question and join the party to keep an eye on Nowa so he doesn’t tell anyone about Carrie’s mistakes.
• After joining, Carrie will ask to see Nowa’s map and give him a ring as a key item.
• Stay at the Inn and save the game .
• The party can now Fast Travel to previously visited cities, towns, and villages.
