The Fortnite Great Turtle might be significantly large, but it uses its appearance to blend into the scenery to hide in one of six possible locations in each match. If you're wondering where is the giant turtle in Fortnite, then we've got the information to help you track it down, so you can complete one of the Story quests and earn a level up token to push your seasonal progress forward. On top of that, you'll get access to a selection of handy loot while also meeting with Ryuji, who is an elusive member of the Fortnite characters line up. If you need some assistance with finding this roaming reptile, then here are all of The Great Turtle locations in Fortnite.
Where to find The Great Turtle in Fortnite
Rather than appearing at a fixed point, there are a total of six possible Fortnite Great Turtle locations where it can spawn, which I've marked on the map above and one of them will be picked at random for each match you play. While you can't predict in advance which one will be used, you should be able to scan these locations from the Battle Bus to track it down – from above the giant turtle will look like a large green island with trees sprouting on it. When you reach it, you'll complete the first of the attached Story Fortnite quests then be challenged to help Ryuji free The Great Turtle of Dark Magic Thorns.
How to clear The Great Turtle's shell of Dark Magic Thorns in Fortnite
To clear The Great Turtle's shell of Dark Magic Thorns in Fortnite, there are five glowing red splinters of wood poking out that you need to destroy. Naturally, the easiest way to do this is hit them with your pickaxe, though any other form of attack that breaks them will get the job done. Once all five thorns are removed, you can then report to Ryuji on the giant turtle's back and claim your rewards by opening his rare treasure chest.
