How to Dance on an Alteration Altar to Get Screaming Claws in Fortnite
There are nine locations near Landmarks where you can find Alteration Altars in Fortnite during the Fortnitemares event, as seen in the image below:
We recommend going to the Reality Tree to find an Altar of Alteration, because there are three very close to each other here. This would generally be a bad thing as it makes the Reality Tree a popular landing spot, but to complete the other Fortnitemares quest “hit an opponent while Wolfscent is active” you’ll want to be close to the opponents.
If you’ve already completed these challenges and just want the Screaming Claws, we recommend landing at one of the other six locations instead.
Once you’re at a location with an Alteration Altar, be on the lookout for a small circular part of the floor 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 the 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 howling claws and a shiny new wolf mask.
Alternatively, if you ever see an opponent wearing this Silver Wolf Mask, you can take them out and they’ll drop their Howling Claws, which you can then pick up and use without going to an Alteration Altar.
Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is here and with it comes a new Battle Pass! This season introduced EvoChrome weapons, Chrome Splash slots, and the ability to pass through walls. There are also new vault locations and map changes. Paradise Quests are this season’s storyline challenges, including destroying Chrome items to collect Chrome anomalies. Also be sure to check out the upcoming The Herald skin! Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn Victory Umbrella and Victory Crowns.
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 screaming claws. These are L2 on PlayStation, LT on Xbox, ZL on Switch, and right-click on PC.
All you need 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 slicing with your new claws.
As mentioned above, we recommend landing at the Reality Tree to get your Howling Claws, activating Wolfscent, and then hitting an opponent here, as there are usually a lot of people trying to get some screaming claws at the tree. You can easily find people using Wolfscent, as it will mark them with a purple glow when they get close enough to you.
Just keep in mind that Howler Claws have a cooldown to activate the Wolfscent ability, which can be seen by looking at the item in the lower right corner of the screen.
