With its ninth of ten weeks, one of the free challenges tasks you with following a treasure map found in Shifty Shafts. If you find yourself going in circles, we can help point you in the right direction.

You might start in Shifty Shafts, but the map will take you to the center of the island. The star can be found on this hill to the north of Salty Springs, close to its southern tip. Just head here and pick up some free Battle Stars and XP.

An easy way to do this is enter a solo game, land directly here, and grab it without much fuss. Even if there are enemies around you, it’s no biggie—just dance it off before they can kill you, and boot up another game. You’re the real winner here.

Another method is to head into 50v50 and land here if you’re looking to get multiple challenges done. That’s a secret of the trade, actually—50v50 is key for getting a number of challenges done without worrying about something gunning you down. Don’t tell anyone we said that.
