Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has now released the first series of story-based quests. They revolve around the tasks of the Oracle, the fountain that you can find for example at Mount Olympus. We'll show you where to find the quests and how to solve them.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Medusa's Snapshot Quests

The storyline has 9 phases, but 11 different tasks you need to complete. However, you can only complete these in the given order. As a reward, there's a lot of XP for the Battle Pass, a unique Medusa Spray and a loading screen.
