Fortnitemares 2025 Quests
The Fortnitemares 2025 quests are released progressively throughout the event, offering players a range of challenges to complete for XP and rewards. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the currently available quests, with updates to follow as new challenges are introduced.
Complete Fred, Velma, Daphne, and Shaggy’s Found Quests (4) - 10,000 XP
To tackle this quest, visit the Mystery Inc. gang, who are scattered across the island during Fortnitemares 2025. Each member offers a unique quest that contributes to this challenge. Their locations are as follows:
Shaggy: Found at the gas station west of Bugswatter Beach.
Daphne: Located in Viney Shafts, just south of Bugswatter Beach.
Fred: Positioned by the road at the southeastern edge of Ranger’s Ruin.
Velma: Stationed in the snowy area between Gourdy Gate and O.X.R. HQ.
Speak to each character to initiate their individual quests. Completing all four will grant you 10,000 XP.
Hire Scooby-Doo - 10,000 XP
Scooby-Doo is also on the island, hanging out with Shaggy at the gas station west of Bugswatter Beach. To complete this quest, interact with Scooby to hire him. Note that only one player per match can hire Scooby, making this challenge competitive early in the event. To increase your chances, land at this location when the Battle Bus is far from Bugswatter Beach to avoid crowds. This is a team-up quest, so if anyone in your squad hires Scooby, all members will complete the challenge.
Hit Different Players with Last Call (7) - 10,000 XP
The Last Call knife, inspired by Scream’s Ghostface, is a legendary-tier item exclusive to Fortnitemares 2025. To acquire it, interact with phone booths scattered across the island, with gas stations being the easiest spots to find them. Once equipped, use the Last Call knife to hit seven different opponents. Each hit corresponds to one of the seven Scream movies, making this a thematic and rewarding challenge.
Defeat the Mother of Thorns - 10,000 XP
Doja Cat’s alter ego, the Mother of Thorns, is the central boss of Fortnitemares 2025. She spawns at one of five Pumpkin Takeover areas, which are marked on the map with a skull-and-crown icon at the start of each match. These locations are:
West of Supernova Academy
Center of Viney Shafts
Center of Gourdy Gate
South of Ranger’s Ruin
Center of Pumpkin Pass
Defeating the Mother of Thorns is a formidable task best undertaken with a full, coordinated squad, as this is a team-up quest. Prepare for a challenging fight and aim to complete this quest with reliable teammates.
Restore Health or Gain Shields with Scooby Snacks (450) - 10,000 XP
Scooby Snacks, a reskin of the familiar Dog Treats item, are scattered across the island. To complete this quest, use Scooby Snacks to restore 450 points of health or shields. Ensure you’re below full health or shields when consuming them to make progress toward this goal. These items are relatively common, making this a straightforward challenge.
Pull Consumables with the Thorn Ripper (5) - 10,000 XP
The Thorn Ripper is a unique event item dropped by the Mother of Thorns upon her defeat. This tool allows you to pull items or players closer to you. To complete this quest, use the Thorn Ripper to pull five consumable items, such as health or shield items, toward you. First, defeat the Mother of Thorns to obtain the Thorn Ripper, then focus on pulling consumables to meet the requirement.
Visit Pumpkin Takeovers with the Mother of Thorns (3) - 10,000 XP
This quest requires you to visit three of the five Pumpkin Takeover areas while accompanied by the Mother of Thorns. These areas, marked by orange patches with a blue hue on the map, are located at:
West of Supernova Academy
Center of Viney Shafts
Center of Gourdy Gate
South of Ranger’s Ruin
Center of Pumpkin Pass
To have the Mother of Thorns accompany you, you must first defeat her in one of these locations. After defeating her, she will follow you, allowing you to visit other Pumpkin Takeover areas in the same match. Alternatively, drop into a Pumpkin Takeover where she spawns at the start of a new match. This is a team-up quest, so squad coordination can help streamline completion.
Additional Fortnitemares 2025 quests will be released in the coming weeks, and this guide will be updated accordingly to provide detailed instructions for each new challenge.
