Groot challenges in Fortnite award a variety of items based on the Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy series.

Fortnite's "Nexus War" collaboration with Marvel has brought about several rewards, challenges, cosmetics, items, and fun changes to the island map that players have never seen before. Within these is a set of "Awakening" challenges centered around unlocking everything having to do with everyone's favorite green-based galactic guardian, Groot.

Groot Challenges in Fortnite: How to Complete

First, to unlock these Awakening challenges, players will need to purchase the Season 4 Battle Pass. The quests won't be available without them. Next, they'll need to level their pass to tier 46. This is where the challenges officially begin with Groot.

The first challenge revolves around locating baby Groot in Holly Hedges. There should be a greenhouse in the center of the location with potted trees. Baby Groot is likely among those trees.

The next requires players to suit up as Groot and visit the heart-shaped island to "plant a seed." This island is located off the coast of the northwestern side of the mainland. Players will already have the seed. They just need to find a patch of dark soil and activate it to "plant."

The last challenge involves emoting in the center of the friendship monument as Groot. Currently, players can find the monument near Sweaty Sands.

Once completed, these challenges award the Baby Groot Back Bling and Battle Brothers Rocket Pet Emote.
