How to teleport back to Howling Hill Greymane camp in Crimson Desert

In Crimson Desert, to fast travel to the Greymane camp at Howling Hill requires you to solve a puzzle in the Thinker's Meadow, the space just next to it where your home is.

This is a puzzle that comes up a few times throughout the game and, while there are other fast travel points somewhat close to the Howling Hill base, this one is easily the most convenient. Especially as you'll be come back to this location all the time, and the moment you know how to fast travel in Crimson Desert it's going to get frustrating not to be able to get to the one spot you'll always want to be at.

To fast travel back to the Greymane camp in Howling Hill and solve the puzzle at Thinker's Meadow, here's what you need to do.

How to fast travel back to camp at Howling Hill

To fast travel to Howling Hill, the Greymane camp and central base, you need to solve a puzzle in Thinker's Meadow (the area just Southeast of it) and effectively rebuild a Nexus Abyss point that's missing an essential piece, one overgrown with vines as shown above. However, you won't be able to do this until you reach a specific point in the game and unlock a couple of new abilities.

Thinker's Meadow puzzle explained

To solve the puzzle at Thinker's Meadow and build the fast travel point, you need to do the following:

1. Progress the story campaign until chapter 4, specifically until you complete the quest where you head to Scholarstone and learn "Force Palm: Focus" along the path. You'll need this ability and the Kuku Iron Pot, both obtained in chapter 4, to solve the puzzle.
2. Pursue the House Roberts' "Estate in Dismay" questline until you clear Karin Quarry of bandits and use the crane to extract the buried Relic from the ground.
3. Go back to Karin Quarry. Where the relic was lifted, there should now be a hole inside you can drop down into, revealing a cave.
4. There'll be a wall inside that you can destroy with the Force Palm: Focus ability (as well as some turrets that will try to shoot you).

5. Beyond the wall is a floating section of circular stone, an "Abyss Transporter". Use the Axiom Force to grab it, then Seal it into the Kuku Iron Pot.
6. Head back to Thinker's Meadow.
7. Just east of your house should be a cluster of trees with vines between them. Use either a fire arrow or your Blinding Flash ability to burn the vines away.

8. Beneath the vines should be a circular opening. Open the Kuku pot in your inventory, and choose to "Discard" the Abyss Transporter.
9. Move the Transporter above the opening, then jump over it and use a downwards Force palm to push it into the slot! This should click the Transporter into place, and activate the Abyss Nexus!

From this point on you can use the Thinker's Meadow fast travel point whenever you want. It's worth keeping in mind that there are a few other half-finished Abyss Nexus points around Pywel that will also need to be repaired in the same way, and other locations where you can find these Transporter pieces. However, what's interesting is that I found that the Karin Quarry Transporter actually respawns if given enough time! That means that you can just keep going back there to rebuild all the broken fast travel points in the game!
