Want to know how to complete every Cerberus' Snapshot quest? Then this guide will walk you through all of them.

The Chapter 5 Season 2 story revolves around Greek gods coming to the Fortnite island, with previous questlines featuring Oracle and Aphrodite. Now it's turn for the mythical beast Cerberus to take centre stage.

There are a total of 10 quests with plenty of XP up for grabs to help you complete the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 battle pass. So let's begin. While you're here, check out everything you need to know about the upcoming Star Wars collaboration.

All Cerberus' Snapshot Quests in Fortnite

As mentioned, there are a total of 10 stages to complete the Cerberus' Snapshot storyline. Some quests are relatively easy while a few are a bit more involved, but all reward a decent amount of XP.

Stage 1 - Use a Scrying Pool To Speak With Cerberus

The first step is very simple and one you should be familiar with now and that's finding a Scrying Pool to talk to Cerberus.

Check the map below courtesy of Fortnite.gg in case you haven't found one as it details the locations of all.

Stage 2 - Eliminate Anything To See if They Took the Artifact

The second step involves you killing 20 living creatures in Fortnite. This means that you can target more than players - you can target NPCs, bosses, henchmen, and even animals like chickens and frogs.

If it has a virtual pulse it will help you with this quest, so it's a pretty straightforward step.

Stage 3 - Did I Leave It Under the Windmill With a View of the Styx?

This time you'll have to look for the Artifact yourself, starting at the The Other Windmill, an unnamed landmark that's northeast of the Grim Gate POI.

Take a look at the map with the location marked below:

Once you get close to the area the quest will change to "Stage 4- Dig up the Artifact by The Other Windmill" and the exact location will be marked on your map.

Maybe on a Grassy Island in the Center of Everything?

After failing to find the Artifact at the windmill, it's time to try and locate it elsewhere, specifically on a small island in the middle of a lake right at the centre of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 map.

Once you reach the destination the quest step will change to "Stage 4- Dig up the Artifact on the island".

The final section of Stage 3 and by proxy Stage 4 barring an optional event (more on that later) will see you try to locate the Artifact by digging it up in the cemetery. This is where you'll find it.

Similar to the previous digging locations, once you're at the landmark the quest will change and say "Stage 4 - Dig up the Artifact at the cemetery."

Stage 4 - Defeat Ares and Zeus! They Took the Artifact!

This is an optional stage that might get triggered. Here you'll have to defeat both Ares and Zeus as Cerberus believes they took the Artifact.

If you want to find them, they are located in the southeast area of the Fortnite map.

Stage 5 - Use a Scrying Pool to Speak With Hades

A very easy step. Simply head to a Scrying Pool once again so you can talk with Hades, who will give you a set of instructions.

Stage 6 - Defeat Cerberus To Gain His Tracking Abilities

The next step will be to defeat Cerberus himself to gain his tracking abilities and find the Artifact easily. If you want to find him, this is the location of Cerberus.

We recommend you loot and gear up first as taking Cerberus will require you to eliminate a few other enemies before taking down the boss.

Stage 7 - Follow the Scent of and Collect the Artifact

Now that you have the power of Cerberus, head over to Pleasant Piazza, it's a marked location and one of the biggest POIs on the Fortnite map so you shouldn't have trouble locating it.

If you haven't visited it, this is where you'll need to land.

Stage 8 - Return the Artifact to Cerberus’ Dog House

Once you have the Artifact, which is a tennis ball, you'll have to take it back to Cerberus' house. It's in the same location where you'll find him in Stage 6 so head on back and hand over the Artifact.

Stage 9 - Use a Scrying Pool to Speak With The Oracle

Finally, speak with The Oracle via a Scrying Pool and put an end to the questline. Simple as.
