As part of Fortnitemares, the new Halloween-themed event that has descended upon Fortnite‘s island, players have a new set of challenges to complete. Unlike the weekly challenges, completing these won’t unlock Battle Stars for you to level your Battle Pass up. Instead you’ll get experience points and specific rewards such as an emoticon, a spray, a contrail, and a glider. However, Epic is rolling out new challenges every two days, and to get that glider you’ll need to complete all of them.

The first set is available now and you can get the details on the Fortnitemares challenges in our roundup guide. There are four challenges in total, and while three of them are fairly straightforward, one specific challenge will take a fair bit of leg work. This challenge asks you to dance in front of five different Gargoyles. The trouble is, these are spread all over the Island, so you may end up wasting time running into dead-ends. Luckily, we’ve managed to find them and can give you their exact locations to save you the time and effort.

Below you’ll find a map with the exact locations of the Gargoyles as well as a list of where they are. You can also watch the video above to see us complete the challenge.

Fortnitemare Day 1 Gargoyle Locations

• Viking Village: Head inside the large building atop the hill.
• North of Flush Factory on top of the mountain
• West of Lazy Links in the mine that’s shaped like an umbrella
• Haunted Hills inside the Gothic Castle, in the main hall
• Between Wailing Woods and Risky Reels on the hill
• Tomato Temple: In the lower courtyard
• Retail Row: In the store with the Battle Bus above it

Fortnitemare also introduced a cool new skin type that reacts to the way you play the game. If you haven’t already checked it out, you can see the Outlander Outfit and find out what sets it apart from other skins. In addition to this skin, Epic has also introduced the Shackled Stone Back Bling and the Dark Shard pickaxe. Both of these items are also called “reactive cosmetics.” The Deadfire skin is available for 2,000 V-Bucks, while the Dark Shard harvesting tool costs 1,200 V-Bucks.

Fortnitemare was introduced as part of the Fortnite update 6.20 update, which also includes a new weapon: the Six Shooter. Epic is also testing the ability to re-deploy gliders after you’ve landed, so you can do that in the Battle Royale’s various game modes now too.

Activision has announced its plans for PAX Aus, and it includes a barbecue built in the likeness of Spyro that actually breathes fire. PAX attendees can find the “Spyro BBQ” at The Common Man restaurant at the South Wharf near the convention center.

Activision will light it up every hour for a “unique fire show,” while the company will also offer three different lamb dishes inspired by the Spyro franchise. These include Sheila’s Pick, Toasty’s Nightmare, and Spyro’s Flame Feast. If you just want to play the newest Spyro, Activision has the Spyro Reignited Trilogy available at its booth on the show floor for all three days.

Activision is also bringing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice to PAX Aus, and this represents the first time the game is being made available for the public to play in Australia. Shadows Die Twice is the next game from Bloodborne studio From Software.

Additionally, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will be playable at PAX for PC in the ASUS and Nvidia booths.

Outside of playable games, there will be a Destiny 2 “Vigil for Cayde” panel that has a pretty great description: “What can we do to offer solace in this trying time? And how are we going to get revenge on The Forsaken for depriving us of Nathan Fillion?!”

PAX Aus kicks off on October 26 with a keynote address by Rhianna Pratchett, who worked on the Tomb Raider reboot and its sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider. She also wrote Mirror’s Edge, Heavenly Sword, and the Overlord series. During her PAX Aus keynote, she’ll be engaging directly with fans, answering questions about any number of topics.

GameSpot’s theatre, the GameSpot Dropbear Theatre, will have programming running Friday through Sunday. We’ll be hosting panels on Fortnite’s coverage in the mainstream media, voice acting featuring actors from Telltale’s The Walking Dead and Fallout 4, and hacking a video game, among other topics. You can see the full programming lineup for the GameSpot Dropbear Theatre here, while a full list of every PAX Aus panel can be seen here.

Also new for this year is that PAX Aus and another big-time Australian gaming show, the EB Expo, are joining forces. PAX Aus three-day tickets are sold out, but you can still buy some single-day tickets here on the event’s website.

Epic Games is rolling out Fortnitemare, a spooky, Halloween-themed Fortnite event that will be available in both the Battle Royale and Save The World modes. In the former, players will have a new set of challenges to complete, and in return will receive loot and cool new cosmetics. “During Fortnitemares, you’ll face off against Cube Monsters in a whole new way of playing Battle Royale,” Epic explains. “There are new weapons to fight back against these creepy creatures, like the Six Shooter and Fiend Hunter Crossbow. Take out the Cube Fiends and Fragments to pick up loot, and survive against enemy players.”

As part of the event, the new Deadfire Outfit is available and is described as a “new type of reactive outfit” that changes as you progress in a match. This, Epic says, will let players “show off [their] skills in style.” The changes to the outfit are dependent on the damage you deal to your enemies and also how long you’re able to stay alive. The skin also comes with the Shackled Stone Back Bling and the Dark Shard pickaxe is also available in the store. These are also reactive cosmetics.

In terms of challenges, Fortnitemare will gift players with cosmetics for completing them. However, Epic is planning to refresh the challenges and the rewards “every few days.” Those that stick it through and complete the final set of challenges will get the Dark Engine glide, which you can see below, along with the Deadfire skin and the first batch of Fortnitemare challenges.

In Save The World, meanwhile, Hexsylvania has returned. Players will be able to check out “multiple sets of story quests and earn new rewards as you fight the fright alongside your friends.” You can learn more about these on Epic’s website.

Epic Games has also detailed the contents of Fortnite update 6.20 which, along with giving players Fortnitemares, adds the new Six Shooter weapon to the game. It also gives players the ability to redeploy Gliders after they’ve landed on the Island. This feature is something Epic is testing, so it’s available in all Battle Royale game modes.
