The Mythic Vault in Fortnite Chapter 6 is one of the most rewarding locations to visit, packed with high-tier loot and special items. Located in the Nightshift Forest, this vault requires a specific key and a few steps to open. While the process might seem complicated at first, it’s actually quite straightforward once you know what to do.

Mythic Vault Location in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

The Mythic Vault is situated in Nightshift Forest, on the western side of the island. You can find it north of Warrior’s Watch and south of Twinkle Terrace. Look for a building in the middle of the forest – in front of that building, you will notice stairs going down. Just follow the stairs and you will see the door of the Mythic Vault.

How to Get the Vault Key

Getting the key involves two main steps:

Finding a Sprite

First, you need to locate a Sprite. The easiest way to find one is to look for Sprite Shrines, which are marked by beams of white light shooting straight up into the sky. The closest shrine to the vault is at the western foot of the mountain near Warrior’s Watch, though there’s another one on the eastern edge of the woods.

When you find a shrine, interact with it and it will show you the location of nearby Sprites. Also, if you have already opened the Vault in the match, you can also offer the sprite to the Shrine to get a boon.

Locating the Bushranger

After getting a Sprite, you need to find the Bushranger NPC. They can appear in three different spots around Nightshift Forest – on the western, southern, or eastern side. Once you find them, select “Show Item” in the dialogue menu while holding your Sprite. The Bushranger will then give you the Vault Key in exchange.

How to Open the Mythic Vault in Fortnite Chapter 6?

Once you have the key, return to the vault and interact with the door. The opening process is automatic – just wait for the circular door to slide open, and you’re in. No additional steps or puzzles are required at this point. The Mythic Vault contains a variety of valuable items:

  • Multiple regular chests (usually 5-6)
  • Several Slurp Barrels for healing
  • A Typhoon Blade (mostly)
  • Various weapons of different rarities
  • Ammo and consumables

Getting to the Mythic Vault early in the match can give you a significant advantage, especially with the Typhoon Blade in your arsenal. Just remember that other players will likely have the same idea, so be prepared for some competition when attempting to claim these rewards.
