when do you unlock fast travel?

[Bizarre Lad]

Right now I'm at blighttown and I'm starting to think how I'm going to get back to my first bonfire (the one that's between the graveyard and town). I know there's fast travel in this game, but when do you exactly unlock it?

You can unlock fast travel after you have beaten the boss in Anor Londo. Right now you're far away from it.
To get back from Blighttown to Firelink Shrine you can use the wooden wheel , that works as an elevator and will bring you back quite fast.
After killing Quelaag in Blighttown don't forget to rest at the hidden bonfire ( illusory wall ). That bonfire becomes a fast travel point later. You won't be able to fast travel to every bonfire, that works only with a few of them.

Glad to hear you got past the capra and depths. As said previously by silent warrior there will be fast travel but it's a little while away yet, a couple of bosses or more depending on how you want to approach it. Best of luck with the next boss. As always it'll be frustrating but you got this.

Eventually you get to a fire that give you 10 estus again..... before you can fast travel. That makes things easier again.

The internet is filled with so many useless comments like this. You didn't say WHERE the important "quite fast" shortcut is. The internet preserves millions of useless comments lacking key information.

Lol. He said everything right. If you can't see huge wooden wheel in blighttown swamp then idk. And "quite fast" means there is another way to get out but that takes SIGNIFICANTLY longer and might be actually locked up.
