We love a good mystery, and nothing comes quite as mysterious as The Wanderer in Fortnite.

This tall hooded character is one of the game’s main antagonists – first introduced in Chapter 5 Season 2 – and is now appearing in-game on the island in Chapter 5 Season 3.

Strangely enough, when you get close to The Wanderer, they disappear. You cannot interact with them in any way for now.

Epic Games is definitely building something in Fortnite’s narrative with the mysterious character, though - why else would they show up in a few locations in-game?

How the lore expands and develops with this character is anyone’s guess. Hopefully, we find out more during Chapter 5 Season 4.

All we know is that we’re glad you can’t see under The Wanderer’s hood, as Megalo Don puts it: "It would be a sight that insignificant minds would not be able to bear."

Creepy.

For now, though, you can spot The Wanderer, err, wandering around the map and appearing in a few known locations.

Keep reading to find out where The Wanderer is in Fortnite and how to find them.

Where is The Wanderer in Fortnite? Locations explained

As of writing, there are currently six known locations where The Wanderer spawns in Fortnite.

The video above tells us that The Wanderer will only appear at one location per game, and reminds us that they will disappear if you get too close.

Best of all, though, the video shows us the exact locations where you can spot The Wanderer while playing in action.

If you’d rather check out a map, meanwhile, the Fortnite.gg interactive map below shows us where The Wanderer can be found:

Finally, it’s worth noting that The Wanderer can head inside a building at any of the six locations above, meaning you might not be able to see them right away – wait a little bit and they might show up!

Other players getting too close to The Wanderer will also make them disappear, so bear that in mind too if you're trying to catch a glimpse of the mysterious hooded figure.
