If you're getting tired of 🌱traversing colossal overworld on foot, you're not alone! Even with the Monsties that know how to Dash to help pick up the speed, it takes a long time to run across the overworld, especially if you're not trying to fight any monsters along the way.

Monster Hunter Stories: Network Battle Guide�♐�
Tired of just taking out monsters around the overworld? Goꦛ head to head against other Riders online to test your Monster Hunter Stories skills.
Thankfully, the Catavan service is your premier fast travel in Monster Hunter Stories, capable of carting you to any area you've already seen yourself. Venture there once on foot and then pay the friendly Felynes to cart you, Navirou, and your 🌊Monsties anywhere y✅ou want to go.
Updated on July 8, 2024: Now that we've finished playing through Monster Hunter Stories, we're back to finish our guide to all Catavan locations in MHST to finish helping you get around the overworld. We've also included several links to other Monster Hunter Stories content we've published since.
How To Unlock Fast Travel
You'll see your first Catavan stand while you're out in Pondry Hills, shortly after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:completing your ceremony and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:becoming a fully-fledged Rider. After leaving town, go left after leaving Hakum Village, and you'll see a high ridge to the left, so wrap around to the far sideꦐ and climb back up to locate your first Catavan standไ.
Except, this stand is out of commission - a monster nearby in the cave has stolen the wheel of the Catavan, and now, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the friendly Felyne driving the Catavan in MHST can't do much until they get it back. That's where you, Navirou, and your Monsties come in - you'll need to slay 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Yian Kut-Ku that stole the wheel in a battle.
Return to the Catavan driver with the busted cart and return the wheel to unlock fast travel in Monster Hunter Stories with the Catavan stands. This Felyne will immediately take you back to Hakum Village (which unlocks the Catavan stand back there), and you'll then be able to find other Catavan stops as you explore through the game.
You can only travel to stands you've unlocked, so be sure to drop in when you see one. You don't need to actually interact with the stand to activate it - simply walking near the umbrella to open it will activate that Catavan stop permanently.
You can also manually save the game at a Catavan stand. Catavan stands near major battles are typically only save points or exit options if you're underprepared - you can't travel to a Catavan location that doesn't have an umbrella.
Settlement Catavan Stops
To access the Catavan locations in Monster Hunter Stories labeled as "(Location) Settlement" in the tables below, you'll need to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:dismount your Monstie when you're standing near a small, low hole in a rock wall,𒁃 past which you can see a small inlet on your map in the top-right corner.
These b🌟ecome available gradually as you progress through the story. You'll also find a Felyne offering a restorative nap, and typically some kind of🐻 treasure.
