Overview & Key Takeaways

This walkthrough will guide you through all eight steps for the "Geno: The Ultimate Reality" story quest in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4.

"Geno: The Ultimate Reality" is a story quest available in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, but its first step is a mystery. When you look at the quest, all you're given is "???," so it's not exactly clear how you're supposed to progress. Additionally, you need to complete this story quest in order to use the "YourThoughtsAreMine" admin panel code and unlock the Void Master Geno outfit style.

Here's how to complete the "Geno: The Ultimate Reality" story quest in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4.


'Geno: The Ultimate Reality' story quest walkthrough in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4

The "Geno: The Ultimate Reality" story quest has eight steps that you must complete:

  1. ??? (Eliminate six players)
  2. Talk to The Innovation, Jones, and The Order about Geno
  3. Find Geno's memories from his past
  4. Visit an Override Console location to inspect Geno's work
  5. Activate an override to understand how Geno's machine works
  6. Extract 3 sprites so Geno can distill their magic essence
  7. Collect 8 Looper's essence from eliminated players to power up a new override console for Geno
  8. Take down Geno and defy his commands to save The Order from her father

For more information on how to complete each step, check out the sections below.


Step 1: ???

For the first step of the quest, all you're given is "???," and you know you have to do it six times. To complete the first step, you need to eliminate six other players. If you want to finish this as fast as possible, we recommend dropping into a high loot area or dropping from the battle bus immediately and following the pack. You'll also naturally complete this step as you play, so there's no rush!


Step 2: Talk to The Innovation, Jones, and The Order about Geno

For step two, you need to interact with The Innovation, Jones, and The Order, and specifically choose the "Ask about Geno" dialogue option. The Innovation can be found in Latte Landing, and Jones can be found just north of Golden Grove. The Order can be found in one of two locations: Chopped Shop or south of Reality's Reign.


Step 3: Find Geno's memories from his past

Geno's memories are small blue orbs that can be found in the following locations:

  • The Battlewoods: Between two fire pits in the northeast corner of The Battlewoods
  • Mega Maze: At the entrance of the maze (west side) northeast of Sunken Shores
  • Shaken Sanctuary: Found inside the bottom right corner of the triangular building at Shaken Sanctuary

Step 4: Visit an override console location to inspect Geno's work

To complete this step, you need to walk up to any override console on the map. There are eight in total, and they don't need to be active. However, it'll be even better if they are, as you'll see in the next step.


Step 5: Activate an override to understand how Geno's machine work

For step five, you need to activate an override console. You can choose any of the offered hacks, but this does mean that you have to be the first person there. In our experience, the easiest way to activate an override console is to drop from the Battle Bus near the center of the map, and immediately glide above the purple tornado. Slowly glide in place and hope that a console turns on before you descend too far. Then, glide over to the console and activate it immediately.


To complete this step, we recommend stocking up on portable extractors, using the cheat codes found around the map to get a sprite, and quickly extracting them. Otherwise, you can also just play like normal and extract at any of the extraction sites. This doesn't have to be completed in one match, so you can take your time with this one.


Step 7: Collect 8 Looper's essence from eliminated players to power up a new override console for Geno

This step is similar to the first, but now this time, eliminated players will drop Looper's essence, which looks like a red ball of fire. You need to collect eight Looper's essence in total. Walk over it or interact with it to collect it.


Step 8: Take down Geno and defy his commands to save The Order from her father

For the last step, head over to the center of the map to face off against Geno. You'll find him floating inside a red ball, and you just need to shoot him a few times. However, it's important to note that Geno will immediately eliminate you after his speech. We recommend completing this part of the quest at the start of a game. The quest won't finish right away though. You need to start another game and land to complete the quest.

Playing Halloween: The Game's Single-Player Campaign Is A Tutorialized Love Letter, But Not What You're Here For🎮 Multi-platform

Playing Halloween: The Game's Single-Player Campaign Is A Tutorialized Love Letter, But Not What You're Here For

!Halloween The Game Michael Myers Illfonic Gun Interactive Single Player Campaign (https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/03/af83b5ce/halloweenpromo1.jpg.webp) Colorado-based developer IllFonic has been making asymmetrical multiplayer games based on iconic movie IPs for most of its existence. Arguably its biggest hit remains its first stab at the genre, with 2017's Friday the 13th: The Game (a great game now infamous for its shutdown), but since then, the team has released Predator: Hunting Grounds, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, and most recently, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game. Finally, though, IllFonic is making the biggest horror-movie-turned-asymmetrical-multiplayer layup game of all time with Halloween: The Game. If you preorder the more expensive fancy-smancy version, you can hop into the game early on September 4; otherwise, the game goes wide on September 8. I need more time to work through and digest IllFonic's multiplayer offering in Halloween, but I have completed the single-player campaign (the studio's first in one of these games) and wanted to bring you some initial thoughts. A Few Notches Above Glorified Tutorial !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/03/2e83139b/halloween1.jpg.webp) If you aren't a multiplayer person and were curious about picking up Halloween for its single-player offering... I wouldn't. It lasts just a couple of hours – though you can extend it by replaying chapters to knock out optional objectives and unlock cosmetic rewards – and is just a few notches above a glorified tutorial for playing as Michael Myers. Each chapter introduces new mechanics in his kit that you will then hone and master in the multiplayer side of Halloween. There is a heaping dose of love from IllFonic, however, to the movies, primarily the 1978 Halloween from director/synth player/gamer John Carpenter that started it all, that elevates it just so. As you might expect, a single-player campaign where you play as Michael Myers based on the first Halloween film is, well, a video game version of that movie. If you've never played an IllFonice game before, this campaign will give you the rundown on how its games feel, including the at-this-point-must-be-a-feature-and-not-a-bug baked-in instability. I encountered nothing game-ruining, but like its predecessors, Halloween has a distinguishable jank to it that you will either come to love because it adds to the unpredictable nature of these multiplayer experiences or you will hate because... it's still jank. It runs fine, performance-wise, but I did encounter some noticeable bugs, like falling through floors or being unable to hide bodies in designated hiding areas; I would not categorize this as the acceptable jank I expect in an IllFonic game, and I hope the team is working on patching issues like that up. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/03/bd2832aa/halloweenpromo3.jpg.webp) Nonetheless, escaping Smith's Grove, killing a mechanic and donning Michael's trademark navy blue jumpsuit, and killing the clerk at a department store so you can steal and put on the William Shatner mask to complete the set is good fun. A filmic look overlaid on the game's true-to-movie visual style sells the aesthetics. Though if you aren't a fan of film grain, you won't like what you see. Performances in the campaign are fine, with Dr. Loomis being the only real standout/named character in the otherwise boilerplate cast who are there to be victims. Running around Haddonfield's suburbs as Michael is good, terrifying fun. In quiet moments, his pained breaths add a sinister air to every step, while screams from nearby houses or hushed breathing in closets sell the idea that you embody evil and everyone is afraid of you. So, too, does the wide array of kills at your disposal. You can stalk victims from afar, completing minigames to raise what is essentially their fear level, and then strike using your knife, your hands, other weapons you find out and about like pitchforks and fire pokers, or even the environment for special contextual kills (like piercing bodies onto telephone poles or throwing someone off a second-floor porch). It remains a good time throughout the short campaign, which ends with Michael escaping Haddonfield to presumably go kill a bunch of random players in online matchmaking lobbies, but it does little more than teach you the ropes within the context of some of Michael's most notorious kills. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/03/05b7c47e/halloween2.jpg.webp) I'm satisfied as this campaign is about what I expected, but I would have liked something bigger to dig my knife into for IllFonic's first go at a single-player experience like this. Admittedly, however, that's not what you're here for (or at least, not what you should be here for). IllFonic's games of this ilk live and die by the multiplayer, and though I can see how playing as Michael will be interesting, I still have no idea what it's like to play alongside real players or as a resident running from him. With the campaign behind me, I'll be starting my multiplayer Halloween journey properly. Look forward to my review for Game Informerat a later date.
