Fortnite - Pool, Windmill, Umbrella location explained

Confused by the Pool, Windmill, Umbrella instruction in Fortnite? Here's what to do.

Working out where to search between the Pool, Windmill, Umbrella is one of Fortnite's many Weekly Challenges.

Completing it will give you additional XP to help go towards your many Season 3 rewards. Note you'll need to be a Battle Pass holder in order to undertake this challenge.

If you're just getting started, our Fortnite Battle Royale tips and tricks can provide some helpful hints.


Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What's new? Chapter 4 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include the Grind Rails and Kinetic Blades, along with the new Battle Pass, character collection and Eren Jaeger skin. It's a good idea to know how to get XP fast in Fortnite.


What does Search between a Pool, a Windmill and an Umbrella in Fortnite mean?

For the Week 2 Challenges, you are tasked with the following:

  • Search between a Pool, a Windmill and an Umbrella (Hard)

Another on the list includes searching for Forbidden Dance locations.

This means you must find these objects on the map, and look between them until you find something. But what?

Turns out this is a secret treasure. Once you spot it, all you have to do is collect it. Doing so will complete the challenge, and give you your rewards.

As with other challenges, you must do these as you play matches (you cannot enter the map without other players), so you'll have to avoid combat encounters as you attempt to find each location.

Note you need to complete the match in order for the challenge to be finished - quitting the match as soon as you collect it won't work.


Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 is here! It brings a free Lego Insider skin and redemption codes with it, along with a new Victory Umbrella. We've also got pages on new features like Medallions, Weapon Mods, and how to complete a Train Heist. Meanwhile, learn what the best weapons are in the current season, how to get XP fast, and what the best PC settings are to help earn a Victory Crown.


Pool, a Windmill and an Umbrella location

The specific location the game is referring to is in the northern-part of the map, specifically E3, west of Anarchy Acres.

Heading to this quadrant and you'll see an umbrella shape cut out of the ground, pointing north. Use this as a reference point if you are flying in.

Go just north on this, where the ground rises and there are trees on the mounds. Go between the two right-most trees, until you can see a path with a rocky cliff just ahead.

If you stand in the right position, the treasure will materialise out of thin air. Simply collect it as the on-screen button prompt says, and it'll be yours.

Again, you'll need to go on and complete the match in order for this challenge to register as completed.
