The event ran from October 9 through November 1, 2025, so these are historical locations—not places to seek the boss in a current match.
Where Mother of Thorns could spawn
GameSpot’s October 17, 2025 quest guide listed five possible Pumpkin Takeover areas. The boss could appear at any one of them in a given round; the guide does not establish one permanent spawn point.
- West of Supernova Academy
- Center of Viney Shafts
- Center of Gourdy Gate
- South of Ranger’s Ruin
- Center of Pumpkin Pass
How to identify the active location
According to GameSpot’s guide, a crowned-skull boss icon marked the active area on the map from the start of the round. Check the map and head to the marked Pumpkin Takeover area rather than guessing between the five. The guide does not provide verified grid coordinates, a preferred route, or a timing advantage for any location.
Why players went after the boss
Mother of Thorns dropped the Thorn Ripper, which was also needed for a Fortnitemares quest to pull consumables. GameSpot described the encounter as a team-up quest.

What the event was—and whether the boss is still available
Epic Games introduced Doja Cat as Mother of Thorns in its October 9, 2025 Fortnitemares 2025 announcement, calling her a character who was turning Battle Royale into her haunted kingdom. Epic said the event ran through November 1, 2025. The five-area location list comes from GameSpot’s contemporary Fortnitemares quest guide, not an official Epic map guide. No later return of Mother of Thorns is established here, so the locations should be treated as event-period information.
