It takes a while, so maybe hold off on the backtracking for a bit

Fast travel is tucked away until you make a fair amount of progress in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. If you want to revisit old haunts in the early game and uncover treasures you missed, you'll have to go on foot — or just hold off for a couple of hours. Fast travel takes some work to unlock, though it's not something you can miss. Once you do unlock it, you can zip back and forth anywhere you've already visited.

Below, we explain when you unlock fast travel in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse and how it works.

Fast travel unlocks automatically when you meet the Boatman, though that won't happen for a while. The door that takes you to one of his ferry stops is tucked away deep in the Catacombs. You can only access the catacombs after defeating three bosses around Paris — Medusa, Joan at the top of Prison Tower, and The Fallen — and obtaining their emblems.

Vast and imposing as the catacombs are, there's only one way down. Follow the path into the depths, using the green wall markers as a guide if you ever get turned around or lose your way. Make sure to open the pathways back to the mirror room as you descend, so you can quickly return to and from the depths via elevator.

At the very bottom of the Catacombs, you'll encounter Death. It's a mandatory boss and a mandatory loss.
