Fortnite OG Season: Every Hidden Gnome Location

With the nostalgia-filled Fortnite OG season, players have been rejoicing in the return of the original map and loot pool. But that's not all – the elusive and mischievous gnomes have made a comeback as well. By seeking out these hidden gnomes, players can earn a substantial XP reward.

What Are Gnomes in Fornite?

Gnomes have been a part of Fortnite's lore since its early seasons in Chapter One. These tiny characters often added subtle changes to the map every week, creating unique scenarios. Players would often find gnomes in peculiar situations or engaged in playful antics.

While they might seem like ordinary garden gnomes, they have always played a significant role in Fortnite's history. So, if you're up for the challenge, seek out these hidden gnomes and claim your XP rewards. The Fortnite OG season will last until December 2, offering players ample opportunities to uncover more secrets reminiscent of Chapter 1, Season 5 through Chapter 1, Season 10. If more gnomes surface, you can expect related quests to follow.

Why Search For Gnomes?

In the Fortnite OG season, gnomes are scattered across the map, waiting to be discovered by players. Each gnome offers a generous 20,000 XP. With a total of 10 gnomes available, players can earn a whopping 200,000 XP, which equates to a significant 2.5 levels in the Battle Pass.

Gnomes have a storied history in Fortnite, often playing tricks and games while 100 players battle it out for a Victory Royale. These gnomes are tucked away in specific areas of the map. Once found and interacted with, the gnome vanishes, and the XP reward is a one-time deal.

All Hidden Gnome Locations

Fortnite's OG season provides a mechanic to assist players in their gnome hunt. When players approach a gnome's location, an alert symbol (represented by "!") will appear, guiding players visually and on the map directly to the gnome. Here are the exact locations of all ten gnomes:

• Gnome #1 (Junk Junction): North of Junk Junction, find a giant llama structure made of metal materials. The gnome is sitting near a pile of bricks.

• Gnome #2 (Pleasant Park): Head south of the soccer pitch at Pleasant Park to discover this gnome sitting by a campfire, alongside a teddy bear friend and a cooler.

• Gnome #3 (Between Tilted Towers and Greasy Grove): Find a mountain with three trees and a giant rock. The gnome sits in a chair next to this giant rock, with three little teddy bears as companions.

• Gnome #4 (Shifty Shafts): In the lower levels of the mines at Shifty Shafts, players will find this gnome. Destroy the wooden wall with a Pickaxe/Harvesting Tool to locate the gnome playing cards with teddy bears.

• Gnome #5 (East of Shifty Shafts): Climb the mountain closest to the river's bend to find a discarded Battle Bus. The gnome lies head-first in the dirt, having missed the glider deployment.

• Gnome #6 (Dusty Divot): Stay west of the massive crater at Dusty Divot to find a small puddle of water, where a gnome enjoys sunbathing alongside a teddy bear friend.

• Gnome #7 (Risky Reels): Venture to Risky Reels to locate two camper vans in the northern area of the POI. Behind these vans, a gnome sits, possibly waiting for both a companion and their dinner.

• Gnome #8 (Wailing Woods): Within the center of Wailing Woods, players will discover a hedge maze. To the left of the maze, a gnome is trapped in a metal cage. Free the gnome by destroying the cage, and collect it for XP.

• Gnome #9 (Lonely Lodge): In the northern area near a small body of water, Lonely Lodge is home to a gnome. This gnome defies the rules, fishing with a rod in hand, even though fishing is prohibited.

• Gnome #10 (East of Paradise Palms): Located beside the cliff just east of Paradise Palms, this gnome is seen mourning at two graves, one covered in flowers. Players must interrupt this solemn moment to claim their XP.

These were the locations of every hidden gnome in Fortnite's OG Season. Collecting all of these gnomes will net you a nice chunk of experience, and is a fun way to get you to explore the old map. Thank you for coming and make sure to check out our other coverage.
