Fortnite's latest Story Quests delve into the mystery of a comet, tasking players with an investigation. While some challenges are straightforward, like dealing damage at various POIs, one requires tracking comet traces in a mountainous region. This guide shows you how.
How to Track Traces of the Comet in Fortnite Chapter 6 Mountains

The third stage of The Spirit Realm Quests presents a challenge: locate comet traces within a southwest mountain range. While seven potential locations exist, only three interactions are needed for completion. Efficiency is key.
The most effective strategy involves the mountain south of Warrior’s Watch. Two traces are directly behind this POI, with a third on a nearby peak. However, the popularity of these quests means many players will target this area. Avoid landing directly on the mountain; instead, land at Warrior’s Watch to loot first. The traces aren't going anywhere.
Locating the traces requires attention. They glow white with a magnifying glass icon, but only at close range. Use your map; mark your target trace to avoid getting lost or encountering unexpected combat.
