The latest Story Quests in *Fortnite* have arrived, and they revolve around investigating a mysterious comet. While some challenges are straightforward, like damaging opponents at various Points of Interest (POIs), one task stands out as particularly challenging: tracking traces of the comet in the mountains. Here's a detailed guide on how to accomplish this in *Fortnite* Chapter 6.
How To Track Traces of the Comet in the Mountains in Fortnite Chapter 6

Reaching the third stage of The Spirit Realm Quests can feel daunting. You're tasked with locating traces of the comet within a mountain range on the southwest side of the map. With seven possible locations, you only need to interact with three to complete the challenge. The key is to approach this efficiently by choosing a spot where you can tackle all three traces in one go.
The optimal strategy is to head to the mountain south of Warrior’s Watch. Here, you'll find two interaction points directly behind the POI and another on a nearby peak. However, due to the high XP reward from these quests, many players will be attempting them simultaneously, making it unwise to land on the mountain at the start of the game. Instead, land at Warrior’s Watch and take time to loot. The traces aren't going anywhere, so there's no rush.
When you're ready to ascend the mountain, be aware that the traces can be tricky to spot. They glow white with a magnifying glass icon, but these indicators only appear when you're close. Use your map as a guide and place a marker on the trace you're aiming for to avoid getting lost or caught in combat before you can begin the challenge.
