Time to battle some more bugs.
Tackling story quests is essential if you want to keep up with what’s going on around the island in Fortnite. Some of the most important missions you need to complete are the Egg-cellent Observations story quests.
Most story quest series come with a few tricky missions that challenge you to tackle feats you likely haven’t done before. This is one of them, so if you’re struggling to get it done, here’s how to complete all part two Egg-cellent Observations story quests in Fortnite.
All Egg-cellent Observations quests in Fortnite

There are six quests you need to get done for the Egg-cellent Observations story quest series. All of the missions you need to tackle to fully finish part two are as follows.
- Destroy Swarmer Nests to thin out the swarm.
- Break open Hive Stashes to find traces of the swarm energy signature.
- Tune sensors near The Hive to find demonic energy sources.
- Collect Tainted Eggs at The Hive.
- Bring the Tainted Eggs to Hope.
- Defeat a Bug Queen to confirm Hope’s theory.
Destroy Swarmer Nests to thin out the swarm in Fortnite
Your first mission is to destroy three Swarmer Nests to help thin out the swarm. Swarmer Nests are commonly found around all bug-infested zones, including POIs like The Hive and Ranger’s Ruin.
These nests are large grey obstructions covered in oozing purple glowing spots, making them fairly easy to locate from afar. Fire at them using any weapon you like until you break them. Repeat this process on two other Swarmer Nests to finish this task.

Next, you need to find and break open five Hive Stashes to find traces of the swarm energy signature. Hive Stashes are the large, orange, glowing loot sacks you can find around bug-infested zones.
Venture to any area that has bugs patrolling around, like The Hive, Ranger’s Ruin, and Demon’s Domain. Once you’re at any of these spots, look for a bright orange glow to find the stashes you’re seeking. Fire at one until it explodes, then repeat this process four more times.

Defeat a Bug Queen to confirm Hope’s theory in Fortnite
The final step in this quest series is to take down a Bug Queen. To slay the Queen, start by heading to The Hive, Ranger’s Ruin, or Demon’s Domain, since she only pops up around these three key POIs. Once you’re at any of these spots, work on eliminating bugs, nests, and stashes to deplete the health bar for the area.
After the first health bar has been drained, a second one will appear, telling you to “Slay the Queen!” Fire at her with everything you’ve got, and keep attacking her until you manage to drain her entire health bar. Once you do, you’ll officially be done with the Egg-cellent Observations story quest series.
