Fortnite: How to Plant a Seed For The Groot Awakening Challenge

The new season of Fortnite has added new kinds of Marvel themed challenges. This guide shows players how to plant a seed on the heart shaped island.

The newest season of Fortnite has added even more challenges for players to complete, but this time they are centered around the Marvel universe. Players have the ability to level up their battle pass and hop in the shoes of their favorite Marvel characters before taking on specific challenges for each character. These challenges can unlock new skins or other cosmetic items that can be used to show off the player's status to all other players they meet.

One of the new characters added to the game is Guardians of the Galaxy member Groot. The giant lovable tree person has several different challenges associated with him that allow players to unlock some very interesting cosmetic items. Once players gain access to the Groot skin they will be able to start messing around with Groot's challenges. This guide shows players how to plant a seed on the heart-shaped island.

The very first thing that players will want to do is make sure that they level their battle pass up. They will only unlock the Groot Skin once they hit a certain level, and then his challenges won't be unlocked until level 46 on the battle pass. By completing both of Groot's challenges players will be given access to a brand new emote called Battle Brothers that features everyone's favorite talking animal Rocket Racoon.

Players will need to travel to the far western section of the map and go all the way past Sweaty Sands until they hit the coasts. Here they will find a small island out in the ocean that is shaped like a heart. This is the island that players need to plant a seed on. Once traveling to this island players will notice that there is a small patch of dirt in the center of it. If the player approaches the patch of dirt they can interact with it and plant the see here. This will complete the challenge and allow the player to start the second Groot Awakening challenge.

Players should keep in mind though that these challenges can only be completed while wearing the Groot skin. Trying to do them without the skin won't finish the challenge, and players will have just wasted their time.
