Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2 is here and here's a complete guide on all the weekly quests you'll want to complete.
In addition to the Floor Is Lava LTM, Midas has also brought quests that can be completed for experience and rewards. More of the LTM quests will be unlocked in the coming days, so make sure you're getting comfortable with the mode in preparation for those challenges.
Updated March 26, 2024 by Christian Harrison: Epic Games had added an additional two rounds of quests since the start of the event. The article has been changed to reflect these new quests and potential strategies.
All Midas Presents: The Floor Is Lava Quests' Guide
The Midas version of The Floor Is Lava LTM works a lot like the original, except you will need to avoid the rising molten gold across the island. Touching it will bring down each player's health in your squad, which is the only way that you can play this mode.
The Floor Is Lava LTM is presented by Midas and Epic Games has announced that it will disappear once again at the end of the 'Rise of Midas' on April 2 at 9am ET. That means you'll have exactly two weeks to earn the rewards from the LTM and the standard Midas quests.
You can also complete 'Rise of Midas' quests in this mode if they apply.
To celebrate the return of the character and this LTM, there are also a number of quests that you can take advantage of to earn three free rewards over the course of the event. These rewards include:
- Complete Three Quests: Lightning King spray
- Complete Six Quests: Zeus Medallion spray
- Complete 12 Quests: The Gilded Vengeance Pickaxe
There are enough quests currently to unlock the pickaxe, with some extra left over in case you have a hard time. Some will recognize the pickaxe from this challenge as representing the shark that Midas was apparently able to defeat to come back today.
Objective | Description | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
Build 25 structures over lava. | Build yourself up. And over. | Start a build over solid land and extend it over the rising molten gold. |
Use a Harpoon Gun to pull one player into the lava. | Show them where they belong. | While standing near a gap over lava, pull someone across. You can also shoot someone as you jump and pull them down with you. |
Eliminate 10 players before touching lava. | Show them who rules the kingdom of gold. | This is cumulative across matches, so just get ten eliminations before the lava gets to you. |
Use at least 10 Crash Pad Jrs. or Balloons. | As the lava rises, you must rise faster. | You just need to use 10 of these at any point, which can help you get on top of other player's builds or structures to protect yourself. |
Survive at least 10 Storm Circles. | Master the gold, lest it master you. | This is a fairly passive objective you can complete in a few matches by just surviving. |
Destroy 30 player-built structures. | Destroy their hope... and their structures. | Aim for wooden structures and weak points. You can knock down towers by aiming for their base. |
| | ||
Hit players with an SMG, an Assault Rifle, and a Shotgun in a single match. | Express your versatility. | Search as much as you can for these weapons before the lava rises, and then use one of each on your opponents. |
Collect three Olympian Powers in different matches. | Experiment with pantheonic power. | This refers to the Wings of Icarus, the Chains of Hades, and the Thunderbolt of Zeus. Collect three of these items in the mode. |
Restore 250 health or shields. | Protect yourself from their paltry attacks. | Restore your health and shields while playing The Floor Is Lava. |
Gain 1,500 meters in elevation. | Is is time to rise to your potential. | Build ramp structures to climb higher as the lava rises. |
Hit five airborne players. | Let no one rise above you. | Shoot those using balloons or Wings of Icarus out of the sky. |
Land in water and reach 25 players remaining. | Victory lies in the journey from the sea to the summit. | Land in the river, ocean, or lakes and then survive until 25 players remain. |
Deal 5,000 damage with the Thunderbolt of Zeus weapon. | Smite those who would challenge your ascension. | Search the golden Greek chests and then try to deal damage to opponents. |
Travel 1,000 meters in the air after landing from the Battle Bus. | The safest place from the rising tide of gold. | Use balloons, Crash Pad Jr., or the Wings of Icarus to move around in the air. |
Outlast 100 players in a match. | You do not need to outrun the lava, merely all of your opponents. | Survive long enough in matches to outlast 100 players before the event ends. |
While some of these quests might be challenging while you're also focused on surviving the lava, you have extra quests to give you more options.
How To Win Midas Presents: The Floor Is Lava
The main goal in The Floor Is Lava is to get to a higher position to avoid the rising lava, which begins to climb around the time the second Storm Circle closes. While you'll be safe on much of the island to start, you'll begin to see the gold color ooze in on your map.
There are a range of items added to the loot pool specifically for this mode to help achieve this, including the Crash Pad Jrs. and Balloons. The Wings of Icarus item is also in this game mode, and it can be invaluable when you're trying to avoid the lava on this map.
In addition to the extra items in the loot pool, all the guns you'll find will be Legendary quality and modded with a number of items. Be aware of the weapon you're selecting and how it can be used throughout the game since you won't have any opportunities to go looking for the loot once the lava starts to rise.
Communication is key in The Floor Is Lava, so try to go in with one or multiple people you can talk to if you want to win.
This makes eliminations quick, as is the overall game, since falling into the lava in the later parts of the game surely means death. Furthermore, all the Reboot Vans will be under the lava pretty quickly, which means bringing allies back from the dead isn't an option.
Remember that destroying the base of someone's structure can cause a chain reaction that destroys the whole thing and drops them into the lava.
Due to the special items' limited charges, your best opportunity is to build into the sky to avoid the threat. You can build on the lava, so that's a positive, but falling into it in the late game can mean sure death.
