Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1 introduces Sprites, ethereal beings offering players valuable items and abilities. The Earth Sprite, the most beneficial but elusive Sprite, is found only in the new Chapter 6 map's Battle Royale mode (including Zero Build and Ranked).
Earth Sprite Locations:
The Earth Sprite boasts nearly two dozen potential spawn points, each marked by a solitary lantern. However, only two Sprites appear per match. This means locating one requires checking multiple potential spots. Many online maps illustrate these locations; refer to community-created resources for a visual guide. These locations generally include areas around:
- Flooded Frogs
- Magic Mosses
- Demon's Dojo
- Whiffy Warf
- Pumped Power
- Twinkle Terrace
- Lost Lake
- Brutal Boxcars
- The biome intersection of green and brown areas
- Shining Span
- Seaport City
- Burd
- Warriors Watch
- Foxy Floodgate
- Canyon Crossing (including the snowy mountain)
- Masked Meadows
- Hopeful Heights

Offering Weapons to the Earth Sprite:
Finding the Sprite is the challenge. Once located, simply interact with it (using the appropriate button). This action sacrifices your currently held weapon, but rewards you with a random Legendary weapon in return, completing a Week 1 Quest and granting 25,000 XP. While time-consuming, the high-rarity weapon makes the effort worthwhile.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
