As a seasoned Fortnite player, I've been grinding through Chapter 6 Season 3's storyline, and let me tell you – the Supernova Academy Quests are where the real magic happens. While Story Quests give you the main plot, these bad boys add serious depth when you help Shadow Blade Hope and Morgan Myst. Forget about casual play; this is next-level stuff that'll have you swimming in XP if you know the ropes. I've spent days cracking these missions, and this guide is your golden ticket to avoid rookie mistakes and max out rewards faster than you can say "Victory Royale."
Dealing 500 Damage with Supernova Gear
Okay, first up – that "deal 500 damage" quest sounds intimidating, but trust me, it's a cakewalk once you get the mechanics. The key is using any Supernova Gear (seriously, just equip it), then going ham on opponents within 5 seconds. Pro tip: Damage dealt with the gear auto-counts, so no sweat about the timer. You can target:
-
Hostile NPCs (guards/bosses)
-
Enemy players (Team Rumble works great!)
But heads up: Environmental stuff like Spires won't register. My go-to move? Third-partying a boss fight near Brutal Beachhead – easy 200+ damage per clip. 
Syncing Morgan Myst's Shadow Proxies
This one's wild. Six shadow proxies roam the island, but you only need to track down three. Finding them requires some legwork – they spawn randomly at POIs, so keep your eyes peeled for glitchy figures. Once spotted:
-
Approach until the prompt appears
-
Mimic their action (either crouch or jump)
After syncing three, haul ass to Supernova Academy's gym basement (north side). Morgan Myst chills there – hit the "Greet" dialogue option to complete it. This unlocks her bonus quests, which are low-key broken but worth it.
Morgan Myst Quest Stages & Visual Bug Alert
Don't freak when all quests show "Stage 4" – it's a visual bug Epic still hasn't patched. Reality check:
| Stage | Unlock Condition | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| 1-3 | Immediate access | XP + Mats |
| 4 | Complete Shadow Blade Hope's quests | Major XP |
Complete Shadow's missions first to avoid getting gatekept from the final stage. Classic Fortnite jank, am I right?
Shadow Blade Hope's Surveillance Mission
Eastern Demon’s Domain holds the key. Head to the plateau overlooking the lake for this 3-step banger:
-
Place surveillance device
-
Attach components
-
Activate surveillance
No enemies to fight here – just don't fall off the cliff mid-setup. The view’s insane though!
Fragment Collection at Spires
Forget combat; this is a smash-and-grab. Hit any three Scout or Overlord Spires to snatch fragments. Locations include:
-
Shady Spire (southwest)
-
Zenith Spire (arctic biome)
-
Corrupted Spire (desert dunes)
Guards won't aggro unless attacked, so channel your inner ninja, grab the goods, and bounce. Easiest XP of your life.
Final Morgan Myst Quest: Gear Retrieval
After finishing Shadow’s quests, you’ll get Morgan’s last mission. All gear is in Supernova Academy’s basement (same building as Superman, but one floor down). No puzzles – just grab everything glowing. Pro move: Do this during off-peak hours to avoid getting third-partied.
FAQ
Q: Can I cheese the 500 damage quest against wildlife?
A: Nah, mate. Only hostile NPCs/players count. Wildlife’s a no-go.
Q: Do proxies spawn in specific locations?
A: RNG-based, but hotspots like Lavish Lair or Reckless Railways have higher spawn rates. Keep moving!
Q: What’s the fastest way to finish surveillance setup?
A: Land directly at Demon's Domain from the bus. Glide to the plateau – takes under 90 seconds if you nail the landing.
Q: Do fragment pieces respawn?
A: Nope, one per match. If someone yoinks it, you're SOL. Try bot lobbies for stress-free runs.
Q: Is the visual bug game-breaking?
A: Just annoying. Track progress manually via XP pop-ups – when in doubt, grind it out!
