How to Find Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 6
Air and Water Sprites are most commonly found in any named locations on the map, as you will see them roaming around the open fields. However, the Earth Sprite is the hardest to find as it remains at a static location and spawns at random locations on the map. It is also rare to come across the Earth Sprite compared to the Air and Water Sprite.
One guaranteed way to get a Sprite is by visiting aSprite Shrine. These are located all over the map, and you will find one in every named location. You will be able to see a white beam of light coming from the shrines in the sky as a beacon. The image below shows the Sprite Shrine locations on the map.

Once you reach the Sprite Shrine, you will find two regular chests and the shrine in the middle, with which you can interact to reveal the locations of nearby Sprites. The locations will be marked on your map with blue and yellow icons, where blue represents Water Sprites and yellow Air Sprites.
As for the Earth Sprite, you will have to use all of your luck to be able to find them. These are the rarest, and the most common spots you can find them are inFlooded FrogsandDemon’s Dojo.
