Age of Mythology: Retold – How to Build Sky Passages (& How They Work)

In Age of Mythology: Retold, maps come in all different shapes and sizes, and gamers can take full control of it while setting up a skirmish. Regardless of the map’s size, it can certainly be an advantage to be able to quickly get from one point of the map to the other – sort of like fast travel.

There is one Pantheon in Age of Mythology: Retold that makes it possible for the player’s units to fast travel through Sky Passages. This guide explains how players can set up their own Sky Passages in Age of Mythology: Retold and what they have to do to travel through them.

How to Build Sky Passages

Sky Passages are exclusive to one Atlantean Pantheon: Oranos. This means that in order to be able to build Sky Passages in Age of Mythology: Retold, gamers will have to choose Oranos as their Pantheon at the start of the game.

If players select Oranos as their Pantheon, they’ll have access to the Sky Passage building as soon as the game starts. However, they’ll first have to collect some Favor to be able to build it. As the Atlanteans, gamers can generate Favor by producing Oracle units and ordering them to stay stationary on the map.

Players need 5 Favor to build a Sky Passage in Age of Mythology: Retold. Once they’ve obtained it, they must click on a Villager and then select the Sky Passage building to start its construction.

How Sky Passages Work

Sky Passages work just like fast travel portals, and they can be quite useful when players want to quickly get a unit to far-away friendly territory. Not only are these buildings useful but they can also be placed strategically to help the player attack an enemy from behind or have some units attack an enemy base and then quickly retreat back home.

To use a Sky Passage in Age of Mythology, gamers have to select the desired units and then select the Sky Passage so they’ll walk into it. Then, the units will be in an unreachable limbo. To get units to teleport and return to the map, the player has to interact with another Sky Passage to assign it as the exit point.
