The latest *Fortnite* Story Quests have arrived, and they revolve around a mysterious comet making its presence known across the island. While many of the challenges are straightforward—like damaging enemies at key POIs—one in particular stands out as more difficult: tracking traces of the comet in the mountains.
How to Track Traces of the Comet in the Mountains in Fortnite Chapter 6
During the third stage of The Spirit Realm Quests, players are tasked with locating traces of the comet within the mountainous region in the southwest corner of the map. With seven possible interaction points available—but only three required to complete the challenge—it’s wise to choose an efficient route that allows you to finish quickly and move on.
One of the best spots to focus on is the mountain directly south of Warrior’s Watch. This location features two comet trace points behind the POI, with a third one situated on a nearby peak. Given how XP-rich these quests are, it's common to find many other players heading to the same area early in the match. To avoid conflict, consider landing at Warrior’s Watch first and spend some time looting before ascending the mountain.
When you're ready to begin your search, keep in mind that the comet traces aren’t always easy to spot. They emit a white glow and display a magnifying glass icon overhead, but these visual cues only appear when you’re very close. To stay on track, use your map to mark your target location and navigate directly toward it without getting sidetracked or caught in unwanted combat.
