Uncover the Comet's Secrets: Completing Fortnite's Mountain Trace Challenge

Fortnite's latest Story Quests send players on a comet investigation. While some challenges are straightforward, finding comet traces in the mountains presents a unique hurdle. This guide outlines the most efficient strategy.

The Spirit Realm Quests' third stage requires locating three out of seven comet traces in a southwestern mountain range. To maximize efficiency, focus on the mountain south of Warrior's Watch. This area conveniently clusters two traces behind the POI and a third on a nearby peak.

Due to the high XP rewards attracting numerous players, avoid landing directly on the mountain. Instead, start at Warrior's Watch to gather loot. The comet traces remain accessible throughout the match.

Locating the traces requires proximity. They emit a white glow with a magnifying glass icon, only visible at close range. Use your map to mark your target, preventing disorientation and unexpected combat before completing the challenge.
