When you complete a chapter by defeating the final boss and collecting a relic, you'll automatically move to the next one after a cutscene and a chapter-end screen. However, through the use of Shrines, you can fast travel back to previously explored areas.

Revisiting the locations from old chapters gives you a chance to seek out anything you missed, and is also vital for completing some of the optional quests and defeating side bosses that aren't available until later in the game.

Not all chapters are the same length either, largely due to some taking a more linear approach (such as chapter one and three), while others are much more open-ended, like the second chapter. However, they all range from a couple of hours to around half-a-dozen.
