Fortnite: Track Comet Traces in Mountains Guide

by Violet May 14,2025

The latest Story Quests in *Fortnite* have arrived, and they center around investigating a mysterious comet. While some challenges are straightforward, such as damaging opponents at various Points of Interest (POIs), tracking traces of the comet in the mountains poses a bit more of a challenge. Here's a detailed guide on how to efficiently complete this task 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 of finding traces of the mysterious comet in the southwest mountain range can feel daunting. You have seven potential locations to check, but you only need to interact with three to complete the challenge. The key here is efficiency; you want to find a spot where you can access all three traces in one go.

The most effective strategy is to head to the mountain just south of Warrior’s Watch. Here, you'll find two interaction spots directly behind the POI and another on a nearby peak. Given the high XP rewards from the Story Quests, many players will be attempting this challenge simultaneously, making it risky to land directly on the mountain at the game's start. A better approach is to land at Warrior’s Watch, spend some time looting, and then make your way to the mountain. The traces aren't going anywhere, so take your time to prepare.

When you're ready to ascend the mountain, be aware that the traces can be tricky to spot. They glow white and display a magnifying glass icon, but these indicators only appear when you're close. Use your map as a guide and place markers on the traces you're aiming for to avoid getting lost or caught in a battle before you can begin the challenge.
