7 Tips for Fast World Exploration in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin

Master Britannia: 7 Tips for Fast Exploration in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin

Welcome, gamers! The highly anticipated open-world RPG, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, is bringing the massive continent of Britannia to life. With total freedom to roam, hunt monsters, and uncover hidden secrets, the sheer size of the map can be a bit overwhelming.

To help you maximize your adventure and gather all the best loot efficiently, we have compiled 7 essential exploration tricks you need to know before stepping into the world.

1. Let the Main Story Guide You

In a massive open world, wandering aimlessly can lead to getting lost or hitting progression walls. The easiest way to naturally unlock new zones is by following the Main Quest. The story is designed to seamlessly guide you into new territories. If you ever feel stuck or don’t know where to go next (like needing a boat to cross a sea), advancing the main plot will always point you in the right direction.

2. Prioritize Unlocking Warp Pillars

Warp Pillars are your best friends in Britannia. They serve two vital purposes:

Map Revelation: Activating a pillar clears the “fog of war,” revealing the local topography.
Fast Travel: They act as permanent fast-travel waypoints. Whenever you enter a new area, open your map and look for the pillar symbol (or spot the glowing light shooting into the sky). Run straight to it before doing anything else to save yourself hours of backtracking later.

3. Scout from the High Ground

The terrain in 7DS: Origin features deep valleys and towering mountains. Instead of searching for chests on foot, teleport to a high vantage point (or climb up yourself) and glide down slowly. Scanning the environment from above makes it significantly easier to spot hidden treasure chests, puzzles, and enemy camps.

4. Clear Monsters Before Looting

You will encounter several types of chests in the wild. Some are free to open, some require solving a puzzle, and many are locked behind combat encounters. To save time wondering why a chest won’t open, make it a habit to wipe out all nearby monsters first. This usually breaks the seal on combat-locked chests immediately.

5. Always Keep a Fire-Element Character in Your Party

Elemental interactions play a huge role in solving open-world puzzles. In the early game, Fire-element characters are incredibly valuable. You will frequently encounter puzzles that require lighting torches or burning obstacles. Having a Fire character in your active party prevents the hassle of constantly opening the menu to swap team members.

6. Never AFK in the Wild (No Pause Menu)

Need a quick bathroom break or want to check your phone? Do not just open the game menu! In The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, opening the menu does not pause the live game world. If you leave your character standing in a monster zone, you will be attacked and killed while you are away. Always fast travel to a safe zone or log out if you need to step away.

7. Ride Hawk for Faster Traversal

Why run when you can ride the Captain of the Order of Scraps Disposal? Using Hawk as your mount is vastly superior to running on foot.

Hawk moves faster and has his own stamina bar for dashing.
You can chain 4-5 dashes per stamina bar for maximum speed.
Manually riding and dashing with Hawk is generally much faster and more reliable than using the game’s auto-pathing feature, which can sometimes take inefficient routes.
