The new Season 4 Battle Pass for Fortnite gives players the chance to unlock several Marvel superhero skins as they ascend through the Tiers. The basic forms of these skins come with several color variants for the costume, a few emotes, a character-specific harvesting tool, and accessories. A few of these cosmetic additions are locked, however, until a player completes the character's Awakening challenges. Awakening challenges are three skin-specific tasks players need to complete, with the skin equipped, to unlock exclusive features. These are often worth unlocking, as they are the features characteristic of the superhero, like their special power or their unique item.

Players unlock the Groot skin at Tier 38, not long into the new season. They can then unlock all the features, including an exclusive built-in emote with Rocket Raccoon and the Baby Groot back bling accessory, through the three Awakening challenges. However, players will need to level their Battle Passes to Tier 46 before they gain access to the Groot Awakening challenges. They will want to continue earning XP until they reach that point. To complete Groot's Awakening challenges in Fortnite Season 4, players will need to equip the skin and finish three tasks: plant a seed, emote at a monument, and rescue Sapling Groot.

Plant a Seed as Groot on the Island in Fortnite Season 4

The Heart-Shaped island is located past Sweaty Sands in Fortnite Season 4

First, players will want to equip their new Groot skin at Tier 46 and start a new match with the goal of finding the heart-shaped island. This island is located on the west side of the main Fortnite map, past Sweaty Sands. Off the coast of the mainland, players will see a small island in the shape of a heart. In its center, they will find a small patch of dirt.

Players will want to approach this patch of dirt and interact with it. This will plant the seed, and the challenge will register as complete.

Emote as Groot at a Friendship Monument in Fortnite Season 4

Next, players will want to find a Friendship Monument while wearing the Groot skin. They should try to land between Sweaty Sands and Coral Castle on the west side of the map. Here, they will find two statues giving each other a high-five.

This is the friendship monument. The player needs to get close to it and perform an emote as Groot. The challenge will register as complete, and Rocket Raccoon will appear and fly around behind the player. The player has at this point unlocked the Battle Brother emote that includes Rocket.

Rescue Sapling Groot in Fortnite Season 4

Of course, the Fortnite team made sure everyone's favorite version of Groot was represented in the game. Players can don the Groot skin and rescue Baby Groot from the Holly Hedges nursery to unlock him as a dancing backpack accessory.

Sapling Groot is a random spawn at the Holly Hedges nursery in the southwest part of the named location. For some players, he has not yet spawned in the game, so they will need to wait patiently until they get a match where he does.

Inside the fenced back area of the nursery, he can be found caught between three potted plants. The player needs to destroy these plants and interact with Sapling Groot to rescue him. Players can then equip Sapling Groot as a back accessory during matches.
