Fortnitemares 2025 marks the 9th annual Halloween celebration in Fortnite, and it’s bigger than ever. This year, Epic Games has pulled out all the stops with terrifying new collaborations, returning fan-favorite items, and a completely free skin set that would normally cost you V-Bucks.
The event transforms the island into a haunted wonderland, with pumpkin patches taking over familiar locations and new spooky POIs like Freaky Fields making their return. But what really sets this year apart is the sheer number of high-quality collaborations, including Doja Cat as the Mother of Thorns, the entire Scooby-Doo gang, and horror icons like Ghostface and Jason Voorhees.

2026 Pro Strategies for Completing Fortnitemares 2025 Quests
As someone who’s completed every Fortnitemares event since 2018, I’ve learned some strategies that will help you complete these quests efficiently:
1. Prioritize High-XP Quests First
Focus on quests that give the most XP relative to their difficulty. The gang quests (Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy) are excellent because they’re straightforward and give good XP.
2. Team Up for Boss Fights
The Mother of Thorns and other boss fights are much easier with a team. Coordinate with friends or use the in-game squad system to tackle these challenges together.
3. Use the Right Game Mode
Some quests are easier in specific modes:
- Zero Build: Better for exploration quests
- Battle Royale: Good for elimination-focused quests
- Reload: Perfect for practicing with new weapons
4. Time Your Play Sessions
Play during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) when fewer players are competing for the same objectives, especially for hiring Scooby-Doo.
5. Combine Objectives
Look for ways to complete multiple quests simultaneously. For example, while searching for the Mother of Thorns, you can also work on the “Visit Pumpkin Takeovers” quest.
