How To Track Traces of the Comet in the Mountains in Fortnite

Authore: PeytonUpdate:May 19,2025

The latest Story Quests in *Fortnite* have arrived, and they're all about unraveling the mystery of a comet. While some challenges are straightforward, like damaging opponents at different Points of Interest (POIs), one particular task stands out as more challenging: tracking traces of the comet in the mountains. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this in *Fortnite* Chapter 6.

How To Track Traces of the Comet in the Mountains in Fortnite Chapter 6

Map locations for traces of the comet in Fortnite.

When you reach the third stage of The Spirit Realm Quests, the task can feel daunting. You're instructed to find traces of the mysterious comet in the mountain range located on the southwest side of the map. With seven potential locations, the key to success is efficiency. You only need to interact with three of these spots to complete the challenge, so planning your route is crucial.

The most effective approach is to head to the mountain just south of Warrior’s Watch. Here, you'll find two interaction spots on the mountain directly behind the POI, and another on a nearby peak. It's important to note that due to the high XP reward from these Story Quests, many players will be tackling them simultaneously. Landing directly on the mountain at the start of the game is risky. Instead, consider landing at Warrior’s Watch to loot up first. Remember, the comet traces in *Fortnite* will wait for you.

As you make your way up the mountain, be aware that the traces can be tricky to spot. They glow white with a magnifying glass icon, but these indicators only appear when you're close. Use your map to set markers on the traces you're targeting, ensuring you stay on course and avoid unnecessary confrontations before completing the challenge.
