Where To Find Ariana Grande In Fortnite: Caretaker's Footprints And More Quests

Fortnite's Fortnitemares 2021 is now fully underway, and Ariana Grande is on the island as part of the event. With the singer come five quests as part of her Monster Hunter questline--yeah, she's a monster hunter now--and completing them will earn you lots of XP and some exclusive cosmetics. You might be wondering how to get Ariana Grande in Fortnite, especially if you enjoyed her earlier show in the game. Here's where to find Ariana and an overview of her Fortnite quests.

Where To Find Ariana Grande In Fortnite

Ariana Grande is a new Fortnite NPC located at Believer Beach. She hangs out around the pier and can be found in her new monster hunter attire. Speaking to the singer will initiate her monster hunter questline, which includes five quests in total and will eventually earn you the All-Weather Extractor pickaxe in its dark style.

If you're a Fortnite Crew subscriber, you'll also earn the bonus style for the same pickaxe, the exclusive "brite" version. Ariana's quests are unlike most other NPC quests in Fortnite Season 8 because they require you to perform some specific, story-driven tasks that aren't otherwise in the game. Here's her full list of challenges:

• Collect a record and place it in a turntable (2)
• Study the Caretaker’s footprints (2)
• Collect Symbols from eliminated Cube Monsters (5)
• Reveal the Command Symbol (1)
• Launch signal flares (3)

After you've spoken to Ariana, her first quest will be available. We've prepared separate guides on most of her unique challenges which you can find in the links above, but two of them are simpler than the rest. To study the Caretaker's footprints, head to the many locations mentioned on your map, like Corny Complex and Holly Hedges. You'll be able to interact with the massive stone monsters' footprints when you're there. You'll notice them as large and glowing purple imprints in the ground.

To collect Symbols from eliminated Cube Monsters, head to any Sideways encounter--including even letting the Caretakers kick it off for you--and pick up the new Symbols that will drop from some defeated monsters. These will only spawn when the quest is active.

We'll have more guides on Ariana's special quests soon. In the meantime, catch up with everything else new in Fortnite's biggest Halloween event ever, the Wrath of the Cube Queen. Thank you, next.
