Crimson Desert Fast Travel Trick: How to Teleport Anywhere Using Character Swapping

wccftech | March 19, 2026, 6 p.m. | Original

The fast-travel system in Crimson Desert feels restrictive, even hours into the experience, requiring you to discover Abyss Nexuses and Abyss Crassets to teleport around the massive continent of Pywel.

However, as soon as Damiane joins Kliff during an early story quest, there's a way to exploit the game’s multi-character mechanics and the Summon + Gather system , letting you use characters as mobile waypoints.

You can bypass Crimson Desert's fast-travel restrictions using this trick

Crimson Desert has a unique approach to multi-character gameplay . The game tracks the location of every playable character independently , and when you switch to another, you are immediately teleported to wherever that character currently is. This mechanic makes this secret trick possible

How to Execute the Fast Travel Tric k

  1. Whenever you want to teleport back to where you currently are, summon another character by using the Characters and Mounts Wheel Menu (holding up on the d-pad, select the character and press X/A). Press Start / Options to gather the characters.
  2. Disband the party . The character accompanying you will disappear, but they will remain near your current location.
  3. Use regular Fast Travel to move across Pywell quickly
  4. Switch to the other character with the Character and Mounts Wheel Menu whenever you want to return back to your previous location. Once back, switch to the character you want to control .

For this trick to work best, however, you will have to act fast.

You will need to be fast to make the best out of this trick

This trick works best for quick journeys , such as returning to towns for quick shopping trips or donating items to improve the Greymanes Camp . It is not, in any way, a permanent way to cheat the fast-travel system for one reason: your characters are independent.

When you are not actively controlling a character, they will eventually begin to move on their own , following their own routines. If you keep these trips short, you can use this trick to reliably return to the general area you were exploring , even if a proper fast-travel point is not available nearby.

NOTE: Over the course of my current playthrough, I have found this fast-travel trick really useful when attempting to liberate areas occupied by enemy factions. As you have to contend with huge numbers of enemies, I would simply continue to fight until I depleted all my healing items, then use the trick to head back to town, restock, and return to the occupied area t o resume the fight.
