Quick answer: On the Graveyard Keeper 2 map, your base (graveyard, church, morgue, yard, garden and the Alchemy Lab tower) is in the west. East of it is the Crossroads, where the roads to the Village (south) and the walled Town (north and east) meet. The Forest is south of your base, the Swamp is at the far south, and the Port opens after your first town battle. Fast-travel milestones cost Faith; unlock the Village and the Port first.

Quick facts

  • Base: west side of the map
  • Hub: the Crossroads, east of the graveyard
  • Locked at first: the Port, until the first town battle
  • Late game: the Sewers and the Royal Foundry
  • Fast travel: milestones cost Faith; Village and Port first

Unlock fast travel in this order

Village

You go there every week for the tavern, Herm and quests.

Port

Warehouse orders, the astrologer and the Dockside Club.

Two places on the map can trap you: the stairs at the right-hand end of the Port's main pier (Stuck on the pier) and the ladder up from the supply pit at the Town Warehouse. Sleep before you explore them.
