How to Fast Travel

Using Site of Grace to Fast Travel

To fast travel in Elden Ring, open up your map and select a Site of Grace you wish to fast travel to or by pressing the △ button and selecting it from the Sites of Grace list.

It does not cost anything to fast travel, but you need to have visited the Site of Grace first before you can fast travel to it.

Using Memory of Grace

Use a Memory of Grace if you are ever in a situation where you need to escape but fast traveling by Site of Grace isn't available. This will allow you to travel back to the last Site of Grace you've visited.

This comes at a cost though, as all of your runes will be left behind once you use the item. Be sure to only use it as a last-ditch attempt to escape if you're stuck in a sticky situation.

Not Available in Certain Situations

There are some situations where using fast travel is not possible such as when you are in a dungeon or if you're currently engaged in a fight. A red slash mark will appear in the Sites of Grace icon of your map indicating that fast travel is not available.

What to Do When You Can't Fast Travel

When You're Being Invaded

When an Invader comes into your world, you will be unable to Fast Travel or open your map.

The only way to enable Fast Traveling again will be to defeat the Invader.

When You Have Another Player Summoned

Similarly to the case above, you will also be unable to Fast Travel if you have another player with you.

You can banish the Summoned player with the Finger Severer.

When You're Being Pursued by an Enemy

Enemies in the game will pursue you for a short time if you aggro'd them, making you unable to open your map.

You can either just run away or ride Torrent far enough to make them lose interest, or find a nearby Site of Grace and rest.

When You're Underground

Exploring underground caves and dungeons will put a red slash mark on your Sites of Grace.

You can only Fast Travel from the entrances of these caves or dungeons.

When You Spring a Trap

Some chests in the game contain transporter traps, which will whisk you away to another location.

You cannot Fast Travel out of wherever you were brought unless you rest at a Site of Grace.

Once you find a Site of Grace, it will be safe to Fast Travel out.
