View source for Fast Travel (Hollow Knight)

<b>Fast Travel</b> is the method of travelling directly from one [[Areas (Hollow Knight)|Area]] to another. As [[the Knight]] progresses through the game, they encounter three methods of Fast Travel: Stagways, Trams, and {{HK CP Icon Mini|Hidden Dreams|Hidden Dreams}} [[Dreamgate]].

== Stagways ==
[[File:Stag Station Map.png|thumb|250x250px]]
The Stagways are an interconnected system of tunnels throughout [[Hallownest]] that link different areas together via Stag Stations. The Knight can traverse the Stagways with the help of [[the Last Stag]], who also gives a bit of information about each location when listened to.

Most stations require activating a toll machine with [[Geo]]. Not every area has a Stag Station.

After unlocking a Stag Station, the nearby bell must be hit with the [[Nail]] to summon the Last Stag. This must also be done every time an open Stag Station is reached other than the one that was last used.

A Stag Station Pin may be purchased from [[Iselda]] for {{G|100}}, which marks the locations of every discovered Stag Station on any purchased Maps, along with those on [[Cornifer|Cornifer's]] map.

! [[City of Tears]] (City Storerooms)
| "I remember this station well. A common trip it was. Goods from all over the kingdom were transported here."
| {{G|200}}
|-
! [[City of Tears]] (King's Station)
| "Named of course for the King of Hallownest, he who ordered the building of the stagways and stations.<br />
The King never rode the stagways himself, but I've heard he was a glorious bug to behold, bright and radiant in visage, so much so it hurt to look at him."

|-
! [[Deepnest]] (Distant Village)
| "I have never been to this station. It has a strange air of danger to it."
| {{G|250}}
|-
! [[Dirtmouth]]
| "This place was once full of travellers coming and going. It seems much quieter now."
| N/A<ref name=a>Becomes available when any other Stag Station is unlocked. Can only be opened from the inside.</ref>
|-
! [[Forgotten Crossroads]]
| "It was a long time ago, but I remember when these highways and crossroads pulsed with life. These are the paths I first carried passengers through when I was young."
| {{G|50}}
|-
! [[Fungal Wastes]] (Queen's Station)
| "This place was a bustling hub of travel, well-placed for travellers visiting the outer edges of the land."
| {{G|120}}
|-
! [[Greenpath]]
| "My, this place much changed since I last saw it. The greenery grows so wild the station's like to be consumed by it."
| {{G|140}}
|-
! [[Howling Cliffs]] (Stag Nest)
| "I've found it! the Stag Nest, where I was born and raised.<br />
None may remain to welcome us, but the nest is still a sight to behold!"
| N/A<ref name=b>Becomes available when all other Stag Stations are unlocked. The call bell is broken, with no option to pay a toll.</ref>
|-
! [[Queen's Gardens]]
| "I'd almost forgotten this station existed. It was not often used by the common bugs, being a well-guarded retreat for our late Queen."
| {{G|200}}
|-
! [[Resting Grounds]]
| "Passengers would come here to conduct rituals for those who had passed on..."
| N/A<ref name=c>Does not require Geo, only to flip a large lever on the ground.</ref>
|-
! {{HK CP Icon Mini|Hidden Dreams|Hidden Dreams}} [[Palace Grounds]] (Hidden Station)
| "What station is this, hidden all the way at the bottom of the world?<br />
Until I heard the bell calling, I didn't even know the Stagways travelled so deep.<br />
No matter how old I grow, the world still keeps surprises like this stowed away..."

== Trams ==
[[File:Tram Pass.png|thumb|110x110px|]]
A Tram is a transit vehicle that allows the Knight to fast travel using the tunnels deeper underground where Stag Stations may not reach. Requires the [[Tram Pass]] from [[Deepnest]]. If the Tram is approached before acquiring the pass, the description simply reads: <i>"A door with an open slot."</i>

There are two Tram tunnels: an upper Tram that connects the southeast end of the [[Forgotten Crossroads]] to the southwest end of the [[Resting Grounds]], and a lower Tram that connects the southeast part of Deepnest, the northernmost part of [[Ancient Basin]] and the southwest entrance of [[Kingdom's Edge]].

[[File:Map Pin Tram.png|thumb|50px|right]]
After interacting with a Tram slot for the first time or acquiring the Tram Pass, a Tram Pin may be purchased from Iselda for {{G|100}}, which marks the locations of all discovered Tramways on any purchased Maps, along with those on Cornifer's map.

This is the only form of fast travel that does not destroy the [[Delicate Flower]] upon use.

== {{HK CP Icon Mini|Hidden Dreams|Hidden Dreams}} Dreamgate ==
{{Main|Dreamgate}}
[[File:Icon HK Dreamgate Art.png|thumb|140x140px|link=Dreamgate|class=darklight-img]]
An [[Spells and Abilities (Hollow Knight)|Ability]] granted by the [[Seer]] after acquiring 900 [[Essence]]. Allows the Knight to place a [[Dreamgate]] at almost any location in Hallownest, after which they can warp back to that location an indefinite number of times, costing 1 Essence per warp. Only one Dreamgate can be placed at a time.

== Trivia ==
* Dialogue from the Last Stag hints at a rivalry that existed between the Trams and the Stagways. He mentions that it is foolish to consider that a machine could do the same as the Stags.
* If the Knight uses a Stag Station or Dreamgate while carrying the [[Delicate Flower]], the flower is destroyed. However, Trams can be used without destroying the Flower.
* The Stagway for the Resting Grounds has a toll of {{G|50}} in the game files, however, this toll was removed from the game probably due to the possibility of the Knight getting stuck.
