How to dance on an Alteration Altar to get Howler Claws in Fortnite
There are nine places close to landmarks that you can find Alteration Altars in Fortnite during the Fortnitemares event, as shown in the picture below: We recommend going to the Reality Tree to find an Alteration Altar, as there are three of them very close to each other here. This would usually be a bad thing as it makes the Reality Tree a popular landing spot, but to complete the other ‘hit an opponent while Wolfscent is active’ Fortnitemares quest, you’ll want to be close to opponents. If you’ve already completed this challenges and just want the Howler Claws, then we recommend landing at one of the other six locations instead. Once you’re at a location containing an Alteration Altar, be on the lookout for a small circular part of the ground that looks like a mini launch pad - these are Alteration Altars. All you have to do to get Howler Claws in Fortnite is stand in one of these Alteration Altars and press the button indicated on screen to ‘Perform the Ritual’, then select the ‘Ritual’ Emote from the wheel. A short animation will play, and when it’s done, you’ll have the Howler Claws and new shiny wolf mask. Alternatively, if you ever see an opponent wearing this silver wolf mask, you can eliminate them and they will drop their Howler Claws, which you can then pick up and use without going to an Alteration Altar. Fortnite Chapter 4 Chapter 1 is here, complete with a new augments system, the coming arrival of Geralt and the Ageless Champion to beat! We’ve also got a present list for Winterfest and Cozy Lodge and pizza slice locations. Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn the Victory Umbrella, find character locations and earn a Victory Crown.
How to activate Wolfscent in Fortnite
To activate the Wolfscent ability in Fortnite you need to hold down the button to aim while wearing the Howler Claws. This is L2 on PlayStation, LT on Xbox, ZL on Switch, and right mouse click on PC. All you have to do now to complete a Fortnitemares quest is hit an opponent while this Wolfscent ability is active. Press the button you would use to shoot or use your pickaxe to start slashing with your new claws. As mentioned above, we recommend landing at the Reality Tree to get your Howler Claws, activating Wolfscent, then hitting an opponent here, as there’s usually lots of people trying to get Howler Claws at the tree. You can easily find people by using Wolfscent, as it will mark them in a purple glow when close enough to you. Just keep in mind that the Howler Claws have a cooldown for activating the Wolfscent ability, which can be seen by looking at the item in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
