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

Author:Kristen Update:Mar 16,2025

Fortnite's latest Story Quests delve into the mystery of a comet, leading players on an investigative journey. While many challenges are straightforward, like dealing damage at various POIs, one presents a unique hurdle: tracking comet traces in the mountains. This guide clarifies how to efficiently complete this task.

Map locations for traces of the comet in Fortnite.

The third stage of The Spirit Realm Quests requires locating comet traces within a mountainous region southwest of the map. While seven potential locations exist, only three interactions are needed for completion. Prioritizing efficiency is key.

The most effective approach involves targeting the mountain south of Warrior’s Watch. Two traces are readily accessible on this mountain, with a third located on a nearby peak. However, due to the high demand for Story Quest XP, landing directly on the mountain at the game's start is ill-advised. Instead, land at Warrior’s Watch, gather loot, and then proceed to the mountain. The comet traces aren't going anywhere.

Locating the traces requires attention to detail. They subtly glow white and display a magnifying glass icon upon close proximity. Use the map to mark your target, preventing disorientation and unexpected combat.
