Fortnite challenge guide: Visit Ghost and Shadow ruins

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

Locations of Ghost and Shadow ruins

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.

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.

I tested DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27, and it’s seriously impressive
The visuals get a serious upgrade, but there might be a hefty price for those prettier pixels.
NBA 2K27 with DLSS 5 Tested Review Screenshot 1

I’ve spent some time testing DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27, including an early preview at Gamescom, and there’s one thing I can say with confidence: this is not your usual “turn on DLSS and watch the FPS counter go brrr” situation. NVIDIA’s latest trick is less about making games run faster and more about making them look ridiculously good. And NBA 2K27 is a surprisingly perfect guinea pig.

Sony just handed Kojima’s PHYSINT to Xbox, and PlayStation fans aren’t going to like it
Another exclusive walks out the door, and Sony has only itself to blame.
The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

Sony has just made a decision that feels straight out of a "how to lose fans" playbook. In a statement posted on X, PlayStation Studios confirmed it is stepping away from Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT after what it called three decades of "industry-leading, genre-defining" collaboration. Barely minutes later, Xbox confirmed it would publish the game instead, expanding its existing partnership with Kojima Productions.
