Fortnite's latest Story Quests delve into the mystery of a comet, sending players on a thrilling investigation. While some challenges are straightforward, like dealing damage at various POIs, one task—tracking comet traces in the mountains—requires a bit more finesse. This guide shows you how.
Tracking Comet Traces in Fortnite Chapter 6 Mountains

The third stage of The Spirit Realm Quests presents a challenge: locate comet traces within a mountain range southwest of the map. While seven potential locations exist, you only need to interact with three. Efficiency is key.
The most efficient approach is to head to the mountain south of Warrior's Watch. Two traces are located on the mountain directly behind the POI, with another on a nearby peak. However, due to the popularity of these quests and the substantial XP reward, landing directly on the mountain at the game's start is risky. Instead, land at Warrior's Watch, loot, and then proceed to the mountain. The comet traces aren't going anywhere.
Locating the traces requires patience. They glow white and display a magnifying glass icon, but only when you're quite close. Use your map, marking your target trace to avoid getting lost or unexpectedly encountering opponents.
