Where would we be without fast travel in modern gaming? Thankfully, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown doesn’t give us a chance to debate the notion, as fast travel is very much in the game. The Lost Crown is very user-friendly, especially its accessibility features, and if you’re wondering when and how you acquire the ability to fast travel, then venture with us on this journey.

How to unlock fast travel in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

You will unlock fast travel a few hours into your Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown journey once you’ve beaten the Jahandar boss.

Shortly after you do, The Lost Crown will give you a brief tutorial on the “Homa Statues Network,” system—AKA fast travel. Homa Statues are littered throughout Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, so make sure you’re keeping a keen eye out for them and rebuilding the statues.

Follow these steps exactly to unlock fast travel in The Lost Crown:

  1. Play Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, completing main story missions.
  2.  Eventually, you’ll reach a main boss called Jahandar—defeat it.
  3.  Following the natural path, you’ll come to a broken statue with an orb you can hit.
  4.  Strike it with your swords several times, and it will automatically rebuild the statue.
  5.  You can now interact with it and use it to travel back to The Haven’s fast-travel statue.
  6.  Then, any subsequent fast travel statues you come across can then be used to travel back and forth between.

Fast travel isn’t essential early on in the game, and Ubisoft understands this. Once you do have it, it will allow you to easily access previous locations with secrets and out-of-reach spots you couldn’t get to due to not having certain abilities.

All fast travel locations in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

To try and give you a handy visual aid, I’ve put together a list of all the fast travel locations and where you can find them on the map in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. The sooner you find these, the easier it will be to zip around the large area of Mount Qaf.

This means you can access areas with Xerxes more easily and reduce the time it takes to beat Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, too.
