How To Track Traces of the Comet in the Mountains in Fortnite
Unraveling the Comet's Mystery: Completing Fortnite Chapter 6's Story Quests
Fortnite's latest Story Quests delve into the enigma of a mysterious comet. While many challenges are straightforward (like dealing damage at various POIs), one presents a greater hurdle: locating comet traces within a mountainous region. This guide provides a streamlined approach to completing this challenge.

The Spirit Realm Quests' third stage requires finding three out of seven comet traces in the southwest mountains. For optimal efficiency, focus on the mountain range south of Warrior's Watch. This area conveniently clusters two traces directly behind the POI, with a third located on a nearby peak.
Due to the high XP rewards associated with these quests, these locations are popular. Avoid landing directly on the mountain at the match's start; instead, land at Warrior's Watch to gather resources. The comet traces remain accessible throughout the match.
Locating the traces requires proximity. They subtly glow white with a magnifying glass icon appearing only upon approach. Utilize your map, placing markers on your target traces to prevent disorientation and unexpected conflicts.
