Fortnite: The Illusionist Story Quests Guide

The latest batch of Chapter 5 Season 4 Story Quests has arrived in Fortnite, bringing players face-to-face with the enigmatic Mysterio, the boss of Doomstadt. Following the previous focus on Doctor Doom, this new set of quests invites gamers to delve deeper into the season’s narrative. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate The Illusionist Story Quests, earn some XP, and snag a free spray.

The Illusionist Story Quests Overview

Follow these steps to complete The Illusionist Quests in Fortnite Battle Royale:

Stage 1: Toss Common Items at Doomstadt (5)

In Fortnite, "common items" are the grey items you often find as floor loot or in supply boxes. To complete this stage, head to Doomstadt, gather five common items, and throw them on the ground. An efficient way to accomplish this is to pick up a common item, drop it, and then pick it up again repeatedly until you complete the task and advance to Stage 2.

Stage 2: Hit an Opponent Within 10 Seconds of Exiting a Hiding Place

Finding the right hiding places can be crucial for this quest. The best locations are found in areas controlled by Doctor Doom. These spots are perfect for quickly exiting and immediately targeting an opponent. Doomstadt is particularly rich in hiding spots and is frequented by players due to its plentiful chests and the boss. Alternatively, Reckless Rail offers numerous hiding places and is another solid option.

Stage 3: Wake Up Brainwashed Characters or Eliminate Hired Followers (3)

There are three brainwashed characters scattered across the map. To wake them up, you need to interact with them. Here are their locations:

- Rust at Reclaimed Villa

- Peabody at Pea Bois HQ

- Brite Raider at the dock south of Megalo Depot

Another method involves eliminating NPCs that other players have hired, though this might require some luck to encounter them.

Stage 4: Destroy Surveillance Cameras

Return to Doomstadt, but this time, your task is to destroy surveillance cameras scattered throughout the area.

Stage 5: Defeat Mysterio

Mysterio can be a challenging adversary due to his ability to create illusions, making it difficult to identify the real Mysterio. For strategies to defeat him, refer to our detailed guide on how to take down Mysterio in Fortnite.

Stage 6: Graffiti Doomstadt (4)

After defeating Mysterio, it’s time to leave your mark. Spray paint any surface within Doomstadt to complete this quest.

Stage 7: Graffiti the Central Statue in Doomstadt

In the center of Doomstadt stands a giant statue where Mysterio typically roams. Spray this statue to finish The Illusionist Quests.

Rewards for Completing The Illusionist Quests

Upon completing all seven stages, you’ll receive the Hopeful Llama spray, a design similar to the one used during your graffiti tasks in Doomstadt. Additionally, each quest rewards 20,000 XP, totaling 140,000 XP for finishing the entire set of Illusionist Story Quests.
