Just like other Gnome location challenges in the past, all you’ve got to do is find a Gnome and hit the designated button to search. Your first step is landing at Homely Hills, which is here on the northwest tip of the map. Since it’s on the outskirts, the hardest part of this challenge eventually becomes getting it done before the storm swallows you whole. But, with our listed locations, finishing this objective should cause little fuss.
As with all location-based challenges, one of the best tips we can offer is to try completing this one in Team Rumble as opposed to other queues. With fewer threats to stop you on your great Gnome search, the challenge is made that much easier.
Find Gnomes at Homely Hills Locations
The first Gnome is here, behind a house with a picket fence that’s pretty hard to miss. There’s a Gnome in the backyard standing near the grill.
To get to the second spot, hop over the fence and head to your left. You’ll see a tall tree out in the open. The Gnome is staring at it. If the tree is destroyed, just use the mini-map in the screenshot to help.
A third Gnome is on this tree on a hillside. If you’re having trouble finding it, look for the yellow house shown in this screenshot.
There is at least one other Gnome location you can use to get this Week 1 Challenge done, but locating these three easy-to-reach spots shouldn’t cause too many problems.
