Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1 introduces Sprites, ethereal beings offering players helpful items and abilities. The Earth Sprite, the most beneficial but elusive, is found only on the new Chapter 6 map in Battle Royale, Zero Build, and Ranked modes.
Earth Sprite Locations:
The Earth Sprite can spawn in approximately two dozen locations across the map. Only two will appear per match. A helpful map (like the one from Perfect Score on YouTube) pinpoints these potential spawn points. Refer to the image below for visual reference.
The locations include (but aren't limited to): areas north of Flooded Frogs, northeast of Magic Mosses, north of Demon's Dojo, southeast of Whiffy Warf, southwest of Flooded Frogs, west of Magic Mosses, southeast of Pumped Power, southeast of Twinkle Terrace, south of Lost Lake, south of Brutal Boxcars, east where green and brown biomes meet, northwest of Shining Span, west of Seaport City, north of Burd, east of Warriors Watch and south of Foxy Floodgate, west of Canyon Crossing (both on the plain and atop the snowy mountain), south of the snowy mountain, between Masked Meadows and Hopeful Heights, and multiple locations north and northeast of Hopeful Heights towards Seaport City and Shining Span.
Offering Weapons to the Earth Sprite:
Locating an Earth Sprite is the challenge. Once found, simply interact with it (using the interact button). This will relinquish your currently held weapon, which completes a Week 1 quest and rewards 25,000 XP. Your lost weapon is replaced with a random Legendary weapon, making the effort potentially worthwhile.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
