Track Comet Traces in Fortnite Highlands

Unraveling the Comet's Secrets: Completing Fortnite's Mountain Traces Challenge

Fortnite's latest Story Quests delve into the mystery of a comet, presenting players with a series of challenges. While some are straightforward, locating comet traces in the mountains presents a unique obstacle. This guide provides a streamlined approach to efficiently complete this challenge.

The third stage of The Spirit Realm Quests requires locating three out of seven comet traces within a mountainous region southwest of the map. To maximize efficiency, focus on a cluster of traces.

The optimal strategy involves landing near Warrior's Watch. This POI provides ample loot for preparation before tackling the mountain traces. Two traces are located on the mountain directly behind Warrior's Watch, with a third situated on a nearby peak. Avoid landing directly on the mountain initially, as its popularity makes early-game encounters likely.

Locating the traces requires proximity. They subtly glow white and display a magnifying glass icon only upon close approach. Utilize the map to mark your target trace, preventing disorientation and unexpected conflicts.
