Where is the Fortilla?

If you’re just starting your Fortnite Season 3 adventure, you’ll find the Fortilla in the southwest portion of the map. It’s the grouping of islands shown here.

How to use a Whirlpool at the Fortilla

Once you’ve located the Fortilla, you’ll likely notice a few different Whirlpools in the area. They look like this.

If you’re looking for a specific location, just use the one marked on the map below. After exploring a new landmark, Whirlpools are visible as faint white circles. All you’ve got to do to complete the first Aquaman Challenge is land in one of these from the air or by swimming into it. After a few seconds you’ll pop into the up with the option to redeploy your glider. Most importantly, the first Aquaman Challenge is officially complete.

How to unlock Aquaman in Fortnite

Just like Deadpool during Season 2, the Season 3 Aquaman skin is unlocked by purchasing the latest Battle Pass and completing a specific challenge that goes live once per week. Thankfully, however, unlocking Aquaman is much easier than Deadpool given that the former only requires finishing five challenges for the base skin.

This time a Trident Pickaxe unlocks after Week 3, followed by the Supreme Shell Back Bling during Week 4. After unlocking the proper Aquaman skin in Week 5, there’s an additional Arthur Curry variant earnable in Week 6. It’s possible Epic may have more surprises in store for players beyond these initial six weeks, but this basic progression is what leaks have revealed so far.
