Hey there, fellow Fortnite enthusiast! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been diving deep into the Fortnitemares event and loving every minute of the spooky chaos on the island. But let me tell you, when I first stumbled upon Daphne’s secret quest, I was completely stumped. I mean, who wouldn’t be? The game gives you practically zero direction, and before you know it, that four-minute timer is ticking down while you’re running around like a headless chicken.
Well, I’ve been there, done that, and figured it all out so you don’t have to. I’m going to walk you through every single step of completing Daphne’s found quest in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 4. Trust me, once you know what you’re doing, this quest is actually pretty straightforward – and that 10,000 XP reward is totally worth the effort!
What Exactly is Daphne’s Found Quest?
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let me give you the lowdown on what this quest is all about. During the Fortnitemares event, Mystery Inc. has set up shop on the island, and each member has their own little mission for you to complete. Daphne, being the fashion-forward sleuth that she is, has had her luggage stolen – and guess what? You’re the lucky one who gets to track it down!
This is what I call a “secret quest” because it’s not just sitting there in your quest log begging for attention. You actually have to know where to go and what to do to even unlock it. And let me tell you, the first time I tried this, I spent a good twenty minutes just trying to figure out how to start the darn thing!
Here’s the quick breakdown of what you’re getting into:
- Quest Type: Secret Fortnitemares quest
- Reward: 10,000 XP (which is pretty sweet if you ask me!)
- Time Limit: 4 minutes (yes, you read that right – you’ve got to move fast!)
- Repeatable: No, it’s a one-time deal per season
Step 1: Finding Daphne and Starting the Quest
Alright, let’s get down to business. The first thing you need to do is locate Daphne herself. She’s hanging out at Viney Shafts, which used to be called Shiny Shafts before this season (Epic loves keeping us on our toes with these name changes, don’t they?).
When I first went looking for her, I was wandering around Viney Shafts for what felt like forever. But here’s a pro tip that saved me a ton of time: keep an eye on your minimap for three little dots. That’s your clue that you’re getting close to an NPC!
Daphne’s Exact Location:
- Area: Viney Shafts (western part of the island)
- Specific Spot: Just above the first ‘S’ in ‘Shafts’ on your map
- What to Look For: She’s standing in front of a pinboard, looking all detective-like as she pieces together clues
Once you spot her, walk up and interact with her. You’ll see a couple of dialogue options, and you want to select “Need help?” That’s the magic phrase that kicks off this secret quest. When I did this, Daphne explained that someone had swiped her luggage and asked if I could track it down for her.
And here’s where things get interesting – as soon as you accept this quest, that 4-minute timer starts counting down. No pressure, right? But don’t worry, that’s why I’m here to guide you through it step by step!
Step 2: Locating Daphne’s Stolen Luggage
Okay, so you’ve got the quest active and the clock is ticking. Now it’s time to put on your detective hat and find that luggage! Here’s where I messed up the first time I tried this – I went searching in completely the wrong direction and wasted precious minutes.
The thief who stole Daphne’s luggage is none other than The Mothman (because of course it is – this is Fortnitemares, after all!). And he hasn’t gone too far, which is good news for you.
Luggage Location Details:
- Direction from Daphne: Head southwest from Viney Shafts
- Landmark: North of Outlaw Oasis
- Terrain: You’re looking for a cliff overlooking Viney Shafts
- Visual Cues: Look for The Mothman’s campsite with tents and RVs
When I finally found the right spot, I felt like such an idiot for not looking there first. The luggage is literally just sitting there in a stack of black bags near The Mothman’s camp. You don’t need to pick anything up or interact with the bags specifically – just approaching the camp is enough to automatically complete the “Find Daphne’s Luggage” part of the quest.
Let me share a little personal tip here: the climb up that cliff can eat up a good chunk of your 4 minutes if you’re not careful. I recommend using your building skills or finding a natural ramp to get up there quickly. Every second counts, my friend!
Step 3: Interrogating the Thief (The Mothman)
Alright, so you’ve found the luggage and that part of the quest is checked off. But you’re not done yet! Now comes the fun part – you need to have a little chat with the thief himself.
The Mothman is hanging out right there near the cliff edge, probably admiring the view or plotting his next mystery. When I first saw him, I wasn’t sure if I should fight him or talk to him – turns out, talking is the way to go here.
How to Complete the Interrogation:
- Walk up to The Mothman (he won’t attack you, so don’t worry)
- Interact with him when the prompt appears
- Select the “Interrogate” option from the dialogue menu
- Listen to his explanation (it’s actually pretty amusing!)
When I interrogated him, The Mothman explained that for once, he wanted to solve a mystery instead of being the mystery. I gotta admit, that made me chuckle – even cryptic horror creatures need a hobby, I guess!
As soon as you finish this conversation, boom – quest complete! You don’t even need to go back to Daphne to report your findings (which is great because that would be a pain with the time limit). The 10,000 XP will automatically drop into your account, and you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
Pro Tips for Completing the Quest Efficiently
After completing this quest a few times (yes, I helped my friends who were struggling with it too), I’ve picked up some strategies that can make the whole process much smoother. Let me share them with you so you can nail this quest on your first try.
Timing is Everything
That 4-minute timer is no joke, especially if you land far from Viney Shafts. Here’s what I recommend:
- Choose your landing spot wisely: Try to land as close to Viney Shafts as possible
- Clear the area first: If there are other players around, deal with them before starting the quest
- Know the route: Familiarize yourself with the path to the cliff before you activate the quest
Movement Strategies
Getting up that cliff quickly is crucial. Here are some methods that worked for me:
- Building: If you’re comfortable with building, throw down some ramps or stairs
- Natural paths: Look for rock formations or slopes you can climb without building
- Vehicles: If there’s a whiplash or other vehicle nearby, grab it for faster travel
What NOT to Do
Learn from my mistakes, people! Here’s what you should avoid:
- Don’t start the quest if you’re low on health: You don’t want to get eliminated by another player mid-quest
- Don’t waste time fighting unnecessary battles: Focus on the objective, not kills
- Don’t overthink it: The quest is actually quite simple once you know where to go
Common Questions About Daphne’s Found Quest
I’ve seen a lot of players asking the same questions about this quest, so let me address some of the most common ones based on my experience.
Can I complete the quest after the 4-minute timer runs out?
Nope, unfortunately not. I learned this the hard way when I got distracted by a supply drop and ran out of time. Once that timer hits zero, the quest fails and you’ll have to start over in your next match. That’s why I can’t stress enough how important it is to move quickly!
Do I need any special items or weapons to complete this quest?
Not at all! This is purely a movement and interaction quest. You don’t need to fight The Mothman or use any special items. Just your feet (or a vehicle) and your interact button will get you through it.
Is Daphne’s Found Quest repeatable?
I wish it was, but no – this is a one-time quest per season. Once you’ve completed it and gotten your 10,000 XP, that’s it for this season. So make sure you get it done!
Will the location change during the season?
From what I’ve seen and experienced, no. The location stays consistent throughout the season – southwest of Viney Shafts on that cliff near The Mothman’s camp. You can count on it being there every time.
What happens if I get eliminated while doing the quest?
If you get eliminated by another player or the storm before completing the quest, you’ll have to try again in your next match. The quest progress doesn’t carry over if you die, so be careful out there!
Why This Quest Matters in the Bigger Picture?
You might be wondering, “Is 10,000 XP really worth all this trouble?” And let me tell you, absolutely! In the grand scheme of things, every bit of XP counts when you’re trying to grind through the battle pass.
But beyond just the XP, completing Daphne’s quest is part of the larger Fortnitemares event storyline. When I finished it, I felt like I was really participating in the Scooby-Doo crossover event, not just playing regular Fortnite. There’s something satisfying about helping Mystery Inc. solve their mysteries, you know?
Plus, if you’re a completionist like me, you’ll want to knock out all the Scooby gang quests. Daphne’s is just one piece of the puzzle – there are also quests for Fred, Velma, and Shaggy that you’ll want to complete for even more rewards and XP.
