To open the vault, you’ll of course need its key. Where’s the key, then? It turns out one of the nearby NPCs has it and is willing to part with it if you bring them a Water Sprite. It’s as simple as that!
But that’s just the gist of it. Read on and we’ll give you all the details you need to unlock the Mythic Vault in Nightshift Forest!

Once you’re there, you want to look for a Sprite. They are slime-like creatures, like the Water Sprite shown above. Their spawn locations are somewhat random, but you can find them frolicking around the southern Nightshift Forest. However, sometimes they appear further south, closer to Warrior’s Watch.
Either way, find a Sprite and grab it. Then, look for Bushranger on the western part of Nightshift Forest.
Do note that Bushranger’s exact location changes each match, however. Nonetheless, he’s always on the western side of Nightshift Forest, particularly near the Tanuki Shrines. Also, he seems to only spawn after a few Storm phases have passed, but the exact number is unknown.
Talk with Bushranger and show him the Sprite you grabbed. Complete the conversation with him and he’ll take the Sprite. He’ll also turn the night to day and, most importantly, give you the Mythic Vault Key!
If you’re unable to offer him the Sprite, that’s because another player already did so this match. There’s nothing you can do in such cases besides try again in a different match, sadly…
Now, to open the Mythic Vault Door, you just have to approach it. You can find it near the center of the Nightshift Forest. As you can see on the map above, it’s northeast of the area’s title in-game.
Simply get close to the vault and choose to open it. It will automatically consume your Mythic Vault Key, but the door will slide away to let you enter the vault.
All that’s left is for you to go inside and claim all the loot within! Most notably, you can find the Typhoon Blade on a stand in the middle of the vault!
So, there you have it, that’s all you need to know to unlock the Mythic Vault in Nightshift Forest in Fortnite Chapter 6. For more help completing everything this chapter has for you, check out our guide on the locations for every new NPC.
