Metroidvania games are known for their backtracking-focused world design, so getting to and from places you’ve already been can grow tedious without the aid of fast travel. Luckily, Well Dweller offers a fast travel feature to let you easily move about its labyrinthine lands — but you’ll need to make some progress in this adventure before it becomes available to you. With that in mind, here’s how to fast travel in Well Dweller.
How to Fast Travel in Well Dweller
To fast travel in Well Dweller, you’ll first need to find the Tent Travel item, which will require you to make a bit of progress in the game. You can nab the Tent Travel item after progressing through the opening hours of the campaign and reaching the boss of The Bog, a swarm of insects known as, well, The Swarm. See the map above for the exact location of this boss.
Immediately after defeating The Swarm, head to the right to find and unlock the Climb ability, which lets you scale walls and wall jump between them. Exit this room to the right, then jump and climb the walls of the next room until you reach its exit.
When you emerge into the next room, you’ll see the text “The Night Garden” appear on your screen. Continue upward just a little bit further to find the Tent Travel item located on the cliffside. Pick it up.
With this feature unlocked, you’ll now be able to fast travel between any tents that you’ve found on your journey. And that’s a good thing because, as with most Metroidvania experiences, you’ll regularly need to revisit a lot of areas you’ve already been to. So, just open your map and place your cursor over the tent you want to go to, then hold the assigned button to warp there. Easy peasy!
