Fortnite challenge guide: Visit Ghost and Shadow ruins

By

Fortnite season 6, week 11 is underway, and with it comes a new batch of challenges for you to complete. This week’s challenges aren’t too difficult, though there are a couple you’ll want to be aware of before jumping in. One in particular requires you to visit Ghost and Shadow ruins, and there are three unmarked locations you’ll need to go to on the map. Unfortunately, they’re both spread out, so it might be tough to visit all three in one match.

The nice thing is that your progress does carry over from match to match, so you don’t have to worry about visiting all three in a single game. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find all three locations to complete the latest challenge. Here’s how to visit Ghost and Shadow ruins in Fortnite.

Above is a map (thanks, Fortnite.gg) featuring the three locations you’ll need to visit for this challenge. We highly recommend attempting this in Team Rumble so you can get around the map easier. Each time you’re eliminated in this mode, you spawn back in the air, making it easier to glide to your next objective. Otherwise, you’ll need to use a vehicle to get across the map, which sometimes isn’t feasible in the heat of battle.

You’ll also want to select your route based on the formation of the storm. If there’s a location that will soon be overtaken by the storm, you should head there first to get it out of the way — hopefully allowing you time to reach the others before the match is over.

As with most challenges, you’ll gain credit for each location in any order, which makes things a little easier. Below are more details on each of the three locations.

First ruins

When we attempted this challenge, we opted to go to the ruins in the northwest first. These are located right at Shark Island, north of Coral Castle. Head to the center of this area to gain credit.

Second ruins

The second ruins we recommend visiting are the ones by Catty Corner. They’re found right at the base of the mountain, close to the gas station.

Third ruins

Finally, head northeast of the previous spot, alongside the shore, to find the last ruins, just north of Retail Row.

After you’ve visited the third ruins, you’ll earn credit for completing the challenge and gain 24,000 XP for your battle pass. It’s not a difficult challenge; it’s just a bit of a pain since you have to travel across opposite ends of the map.

The best places to land in Fortnite (Chapter 5, Season 2)

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're an expert player, your likelihood of coming out on top is greatly diminished if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be at a barren location with no loot or a hot drop that could lead to a swift death.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, there's no shortage of fantastic landing spots, but which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for veterans, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list of the best places to land in Fortnite, it's important to be aware of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any place with decent loot might serve you well, but there's more to consider than that. Does a spot have a consistent chest/loot spawn? Are there guaranteed materials? Is it close to other places of interest (POI)s? Is it out of the way? Of course, loot is the most important aspect, but it does you no good to have a stacked loadout if you're stuck in the storm. These recommended landing spots all have some degree of consistency and fantastic loot. they also typically have some quirk that makes them effective depending on your playstyle.

Where to find Vendetta Flopper in Lego Fortnite
Characters fishing in LEGO Fortnite.

The fishing update to Lego Fortnite added, you guessed it, the ability to fish once you've made yourself a rod. Of course, since fish didn't exist in the game before this, an entire school of undersea life needed to be created. Every fish you can catch has a different benefit, from restoring a bunch of health when you eat it to giving you some kind of buff. The rarest and most useful fish is certainly the Vendetta Flopper, making it the most coveted catch in the game. While fishing is still heavily dependent on luck, you won't even have a chance at this fish unless you know where to cast your line.
Where to find the Vendetta Flopper

Before you even attempt to attempt this legendary catch, make sure you're ready with an Epic fishing rod and Epic Bait Bucket to give yourself the best chance at a rare catch. The nest step is to only cast into the glowing purple zones that indicate the presence of rare fish. Fishing in any other part of the water won't yield the Vendetta Flopper we're after.
