Where is the giant turtle in Fortnite?

The giant turtle is something you might have spotted in the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 trailer, swimming around a lake and scaring Peely off their boat. Although it’s not part of a marked location on the map — and is officially named the Great Turtle — it can be an ideal landing spot if you’re uncontested. Here’s where you can find the giant turtle and what it does in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.

The easiest way to find out which location they spawned in is to quickly scan the map when you’re in the battle bus. Look toward each of the marked locations and try to spot the giant turtle. Ryuji, an NPC, can be found near or on the turtle, and will provide you with some background information on a sea serpent and the Great Turtle. In summary, the turtle has been afflicted with darkness and loneliness, and Ryuji is searching for the turtle’s lost love. What does the giant turtle do in Fortnite?

However, there could be an easter egg that has yet to be found, or something to come in a future update, as the giant turtle is still looking for their lost love. In the meantime, you can climb on top of the giant turtle to find chests, slurp barrels, a spirit shrine, and a launch pad.
