‘Fortnite’ Alien Artifact Week 9 Locations

Stealthy stronghold used to be a named location, but has had its name removed from the map in recent seasons. It's sitting on top of a large rock mound northeast of the central castle. The location has a complex of ruins inside, as well as an io camp, and a river where fish can be caught.

We’re nearing the end of Chapter 2, Season 7 of Fortnite—or at least the end of the 10 scheduled weeks. It could, and very likely will, go on longer. Fortnite rarely wraps things up in 10 weeks, sometimes stretching a season out for months longer.

The alien-themed season has gotten some things right and some things wrong, but one thing I’ve definitely enjoyed is finding Alien Artifacts to customize the Kymera Battle Pass skin. You find these in special chests and as weekly drops hidden in secret locations across the map each week.

Here’s where to find all five Alien Artifact locations for Season 7, Week 9:

Gather these up, search for the special chests and customize Kymera to your heart’s content. And don’t forget about the Ariana Grande concert in Fortnite this weekend. If that’s your cup of tea. I admit, her music is decidedly not my cup of tea, but then again the musical choices Epic Games makes for this game are more about popularity than anything else.

Happy hunting, young padawans!
