Recovering hidden items is a task that comes up fairly often in Fortnite story quests. It's always a tough mission to tackle, as the island is massive and the items you need could be hidden anywhere. One of the quests you'll come across asks you to collect Tainted Eggs.
These items are quite small and hidden, making them fairly difficult to find even if you know where to look. Obtaining them is crucial for progressing the main storyline in Chapter Six, season four, so if you're having trouble with this one, here's how to collect Tainted Eggs at The Hive in Fortnite.
Collect Tainted Eggs at The Hive in Fortnite
To collect Tainted Eggs at The Hive for the Egg-cellent Observations story quest series, you need to find and recover two Tainted Eggs. Both eggs are hidden in caves you can visit while exploring The Hive area.
Some other missions in this quest series can be tackled anywhere around the island, but for this one, you must be at The Hive to find what you're seeking. The Tainted Eggs are quest spawn items only, so they won't pop up anywhere else outside of this mission.
You can acquire these items by venturing to the right spot for each one and pressing the button that appears once you're close to them. This button varies by platform, but is displayed prominently as soon as you walk up to the egg. Recovering the Tainted Eggs is easy enough, but finding them can be a lot trickier.
Tainted Eggs locations in Fortnite
There are two unique locations you need to visit to collect the Tainted Eggs, both of which are within The Hive POI. You can look for the white diamond icon while exploring this area to find them on your own, or head straight to the right spot from the start. Here's where to find both eggs.
- Slightly right of The Hive text on the map, inside a small cave close to a water pool, Slurp Geyser, and Swarmer Nest.
- Near the far north end of The Hive, in the corner of a cave near the pool.
There are plenty of other important tasks to tackle around the island. Next, you might work on using an Ascender and a Zipline in the same match, damaging opponents while in a Hammerhead Choppa to help summon the Pink Ranger, and calling in Precision Air Strikes.
