To complete the Groot awakening challenges in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4, players need to reach Battle Pass Tier 38. Then, they must find the Battle Pass tree in the northern section of Weeping Woods and interact with it to get the Groot style variant. This unlocks the complete set of Groot challenges.
Understanding Groot
In Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4, the Groot Awakening challenges are a set of three challenges that players must complete to unlock the "Sapling Groot" variant. These challenges are centered around the character Groot, who is a part of the Battle Pass for this season. To complete the Groot Awakening challenges, players need to follow specific objectives related to Groot's abilities and storyline within the game.
Challenge 1: Plant a Seed on a Heart-Shaped Island as Groot
The first challenge requires players to play as Groot and plant a seed on a heart-shaped island. To do this, players must equip the Groot outfit, which is unlocked at Battle Pass Tier 38. Once they have the Groot outfit equipped, they need to locate the heart-shaped island on the Fortnite map. This island is located in the southeast corner of the map, near Holly Hedges.
Once players reach the heart-shaped island as Groot, they should interact with the highlighted spot and select the option to plant the seed. This action will complete the first challenge of the Groot Awakening challenges and bring them one step closer to unlocking the "Sapling Groot" variant.
Challenge 2: Emote as Groot at a Friendship Monument
The second challenge in the Groot Awakening challenges requires players to emote as Groot at a Friendship Monument. To complete this challenge, players need to equip the Groot outfit once again and locate a Friendship Monument on the Fortnite map. Friendship Monuments can be found in various locations across the map, including landmarks and named locations.
Once players have found a Friendship Monument, they should stand near it and use any emote while playing as Groot. This action will trigger the completion of the second Groot Awakening challenge and bring the player closer to unlocking the "Sapling Groot" variant.
Challenge 3: Dance at the Pipe Man, Hayman, and Timber Tent as Groot
The third and final challenge of the Groot Awakening challenges is to dance at the Pipe Man, Hayman, and Timber Tent locations on the Fortnite map while playing as Groot. To complete this challenge, players must once again equip the Groot outfit and visit each of these locations.
The Pipe Man, Hayman, and Timber Tent locations are scattered throughout the map, with the Pipe Man located near the Hydro 16 area, the Hayman near Frenzy Farm, and the Timber Tent near Sweaty Sands. Players need to travel to each of these locations as Groot and perform a dance emote at each site to complete the challenge.
Completing the Groot Awakening challenges
By successfully completing all three challenges – planting a seed on a heart-shaped island, emoting at a Friendship Monument, and dancing at the Pipe Man, Hayman, and Timber Tent locations – players will unlock the "Sapling Groot" variant. This variant features a smaller, more youthful version of Groot that players can use as their character skin in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4.
Once players have achieved the "Sapling Groot" variant, they can use it in-game to show off their completion of the Groot Awakening challenges and add a unique touch to their Fortnite gameplay experience.
