The Veil Pylons: How to Unlock Fast Travel Points

Pylons are the fast-travel points in The Veil. Certain places in the maze have pylons you can unlock, and once unlocked, you can fast travel to those places from other pylons you have already unlocked. Unlocking a pylon simply means discovering its location — travel happens only between pylons you have already unlocked.

How pylons are discovered and unlocked

1. Explore the maze. The map is not empty — it contains actual places, not just random maze rooms.
2. Arrive at one of these places. A pylon is there, and arriving at a new place can itself register the pylon: players have arrived at an unfamiliar spot and immediately found "another pylon right here."
3. Finding the place unlocks the pylon. Pylons have been unlocked simply by running through the maze and finding locations randomly; the exact unlock trigger beyond discovery is not clearly defined, so expect discovery itself to be the requirement.

Known pylon locations

Pylon locations shown in gameplay footage are grouped as the Disease Era pylons, with walkthroughs covering the locations known to those players. Named individual pylon destinations are not documented, and no complete pylon count is confirmed — one player personally unlocked four, and walkthroughs only cover "all pylons known" to their creators. Not every area is guaranteed to have a pylon, so only annotate or rely on pylons you have personally confirmed.

Managing sanity while hunting pylons

Traveling the maze in search of pylons carries one practical constraint: you lose insanity/sanity over time in the maze. Stay near a campfire — near a campfire you do not lose insanity, and you can still fight mobs there. Plan your routes between campfires to keep your sanity manageable while exploring.

Once you unlock a confirmed pylon location, activate it before continuing your route so it becomes available as a travel destination from other unlocked pylons.
