Where to find Hidden Lanterns in the Fortnite Lantern Fest 2024

There are a total of four lanterns that you need to find, out of which two are currently available. The remaining ones will go live at a later date. Here’s how you can find them:

Rooftop Lantern

You’ll find the first lantern on the roof of a building

This lantern is located on top of a building. Here’s how you can get it:

  1. As you enter the map, look for planks and stringy twine.
  2. Once you’ve found them, head to the building with the sign of a fishing hook on its side. Collect a fishing rod from here.
  3. In the corner of the room, you will find a pool. Use the fishing rod to catch a hop flopper and then head back to the building with the fishing hook.
  4. Opposite this building, you should see a staircase. The lantern is on the building opposite this staircase.
  5. Consume the hop flopper and collect this lantern.

  4. Take the one on your left, and keep going till you come to a room with pots and boxes.
  5. The final Lantern is in this room behind the boxes.

How to solve the puzzles in the Fortnite Lantern Fest 2024

Just like the lanterns, there are four puzzles that you need to solve. However, only two are accessible right now. Here are the solutions to these puzzles:

Royal Race

You have 90 seconds to solve this puzzle, and to solve it, you need to move the animals in a specific order. The order is as follows:

  2. Falcon x2, Camel x2, Horse x1
  3. Horse x1, Falcon x2, Camel x2

Curious Mouse

To complete this riddle, you need to finish the structure. To do so:

  2. Keep turning the objects till their wider portion is at the bottom and the narrower portion is at the top.
  3. Once you’ve done so for all the structures, the pyramid will align automatically.

Flashback Riddle

  • Camel (Yellow): Red + Green
  • Horse (Cyan): Green + Blue
  • Pyramid (White): Red + Green + Blue
  • Mouse: Green
  • Bird: Red

While players expected cosmetics or other rewards, the Lantern Fest 2024 challenges only give away XP, so keep that in mind.

How to set Dining Table in Fortnite Lantern Fest 2024

You need to set up the Dining Table to complete the event.

To set up the Dining Table, you will have to purchase the items from the Bazaar with the coins that you earn from completing the challenges.

However, there are a few fruits and vegetables that you won’t be able to purchase from the Bazaar. Instead, you’ll have to purchase some precursor materials, which you can use to grow these fruits and vegetables.

There’s a farming patch to the right of where you spawn in the Fortnite Lantern Fest 2024. Here, you can grow whatever material you need.
