Fortnitemares 2025 boss Doja Cat – the Mother of Thorns – spawns south-west of Supernova Academy inside a thorn-wrapped courtyard. We pinpoint the exact tile, list every Mythic drop, and show the 90-second glider path from the Battle Bus so you can tag her first.
TL;DR – Drop Here, Kill Her, Grab Mythic
- Primary spawn: Thorny Thicket – south-west of Supernova Academy (Map Grid E-4 / E-5 border)
- Landmark: Purple-orange thorn arches surrounding a stone throne
- Spawn timer: 100 % presence from Battle Bus open until victory crown or server close (no de-spawn window)
- Loot: Mythic Thorn Ripper (piercing AR), Thorn Shield (portable Gloo), Pumpkin Keycard (opens vault under throne)
Step-by-Step Location – Grid Reference & Visual Cues
- Open map – look west of the giant Supernova Academy lettering.
- Drop toward the small brown patch labelled “Thorny Thicket” – it sits between two pumpkin fields.
- On approach you’ll see three-storey high thorn spikes glowing purple; the courtyard floor is orange marble.
- Mother of Thorns (Doja Cat skin) stands on a stone throne at map coordinates E-4.5 – ground level, no build zone radius 50 m.

Secondary Micro-Spawns – Inside Pumpkin Takeovers
During Fortnitemares 2025, five Pumpkin Takeover zones rotate hourly; Mother of Thorns can appear at:
- Freaky Fields – red barn south (Grid D-3)
- Gourdy Gate – lower south-east corner (Grid E-4)
- Viney Shafts – centre platform (Grid C-5)
Note: These are additional POIs, not guaranteed every match – Thorny Thicket remains 24/7 .
Fastest Landing Route – 90 Seconds From Bus
- Bus path south-north: dive at 700 m, land on the roof of the thorn arch for an instant weapon chest.
- Bus path north-south: glide to the southwest cliff, and slide down to avoid fall damage.
- Distance from zero point: ~250 m south-west of the Supernova main gate – under 60 seconds sprint once grounded.

Hot-Landing Warning – Expect Crowds
