Fortnite challenge guide: Find golden artifacts near The Spire

Joseph Yaden
By

It’s the start of a new Fortnite season, meaning there are lots of new things to do in Epic’s battle royale. Starting with Fortnite season 6, week 1, you’ll have a handful of new challenges to complete. With the beginning of a new season, you’ll find substantial map changes, one of which is a new location called The Spire. This area is home to three golden artifacts, and you need to collect all of them to complete one of this week’s challenges.

These golden artifacts are cleverly hidden around The Spire, but we’ve got the locations of all three of them. In this guide, we’ll walk you through where to find all three artifacts, along with tips to make it as easy as possible. Here’s where to find golden artifacts near The Spire in Fortnite.

Above is a map featuring the general locations of the three artifacts at The Spire (courtesy of Fortnite.gg). Since this area has a lot of verticality, the map isn’t as useful as you’d expect, but it’s better than nothing. To make things easier, we highly recommend attempting this challenge in a Team Rumble match; that way, you can spawn back in if you get eliminated. It also seems to be less busy at The Spire during a Team Rumble match than if you play one of the battle royale modes, so keep that in mind, as well.

And as with most challenges, this one’s cumulative, meaning your progress carries over from match to match. So don’t worry if you get eliminated before collecting all three since you can pick up where you left off in a separate match. And with that, let’s get into the locations of each artifact below.

First artifact

You can collect the artifacts in any order, but the first one we grabbed is located in a small room just beneath the base of The Spire itself. It’s on the north side of this area, and it’s found right next to the stone steps that lead up the monument. You’ll have to break down the wooden wall that leads to this llama artifact.

Second artifact

Next up, head to the lower level of The Spire on the eastern side where you’ll find a few different stands. The large stand on the north side of this area features a llama on the ground, next to a basket.

Third artifact

Finally, head up the steps on the south side of the previous area and you’ll come to the next floor. Turn right and then you’ll come to a large room where the golden artifact can be found in a small area next to some barrels. This time, it’s a hula cat instead of a llama. After you’ve collected all three (in any order), you’ll complete the challenge and gain 24,000 XP for your troubles.

How to give specialist a command in Fortnite
Character interacting with NPC in Fortnite.

As part of Fortnite's Spring Breakout Daily Quests, players are tasked with giving a hired specialist character a command. Of course, the game doesn't specify how to do this exactly, leading to some confusion amongst the community. Thankfully, we've got everything you need to know about completing this new quest with ease in Fortnite.
How to hire a specialist

Specialist Characters are specific NPCs all around the map. If you pull up the quest itself, you'll actually see a map of all the Specialist Characters. Keep in mind that not all NPCs fall into this category, so be sure to look at the map. We like the one to the very north of Breakwater Bay as it's usually out of the way. Once you find them, you'll need to pay 200 Gold Bars to hire them. If you don't have the funds, be sure to play more and complete bounties as needed.
How to give a character a command
After you've hired the Specialist Character, they'll be on your side for the duration of the match. If you look at the top left side of the screen, you'll see an icon that represents the Follower Communications wheel. Press and hold left on the D-pad on console or the middle mouse button on PC to get this menu to appear. Once it does, you can pick from a list of commands such as wait or follow. To complete the quest, you simply need to issue one command and after the NPC does what you ask, you'll earn credit for completing it.

A list of all the Fortnite augments, and how to use them
Fortnite

Every new chapter of Fortnite is a massive event. While seasonal changes bring plenty of minor tweaks and additions, it's almost always when a new chapter rolls around that major overhauls or new mechanics are introduced. Fortnite Chapter 4 was no exception, and aside from the extreme changes the island underwent, it brought one very important change to gameplay that wmakes a huge difference when going for that illusive victory royal (it isn't easy to win Fortnite, after all).

Augments, well, augment the game. There are a few challenges that somewhat introduce what these are, but they leave out almost all the important details for you to find out on your own. Augments need to be considered, and deeply understood, not only for when you get them yourself but to know what new tricks your opponents could have up their sleeves. Before you get taken by surprise, here's a complete breakdown of how to unlock augments and how they work in Fortnite.
What are augments in Fortnite?
Augments, or Reality Augments, are essentially a new perk system introduced into Fortnite. There are currently 22 augments in the game, but with more to come in future updates. You can get access to multiple augments during a single match, but augments do not carry over after a match is finished, whether you win or lose. These perks can range from modifying certain weapon types to granting buffs for performing actions, and much more. There are no bad augments, so you will want to get as many as possible. Augments also have their own tab in your menu where you can see which ones you've had so far to track your progress using them all.

The best weapons in Fortnite during Chapter 3, Season 4
New characters from Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 2.

Surviving in Fortnite and securing a Victory Royale takes skill and luck. Getting better at Fortnite requires a knowledge of the playing field and a drive to outlast your opponents, but none of that matters if you aren't picking up the right weapons. Building a loadout that suits your playstyle and managing your inventory as the match progresses is key to snagging a win. You don't want to be caught in a long-range battle against someone on a mountaintop without a solid rifle on hand, and you certainly don't want to find yourself inside a close-quarters building without an SMG or shotgun.

Our guide to the best weapons in Fortnite breaks down rarity types and what they mean, the most effective arms in each weapon category, and tips for how to use them. Chapter 4, Season 2 brought a lengthy list of changes to the Fortnite arsenal -- including new weapons and the return of some fan favorites.
