You drop into a match and the final reward still sits behind a chain of chores. Your thumbs go cold as you realize the Golden Exalted Ice King isn’t a single reward—you have to earn a whole story to claim it. I’ll walk you through the shortest, least painful path so you don’t waste another late-night grind.
How to get the Golden Exalted Ice King in Fortnite Chapter 7, Season 2
You can feel the season timer ticking while you stare at the battle pass screen.
I’ve chased end-game skins across three chapters and a handful of community guides. The Golden Exalted Ice King is not given; you have to collect both Ice King looks across his two battle pass pages, buy every accessory tied to the set, then complete a six-mission quest chain that hands you the final gilded outfit. The battle pass is a maze of frosted corridors, and I’ll point the markers you need to pass through.
How to access the Exalted Ice King quest series
Your battle pass shows two Ice King styles the moment you scroll through its pages.
To gain access to the Exalted Ice King quests you must first get both Ice King styles: the base Exalted Ice King, granted when you buy the pass, and the second style on the pass’s back page (the Golden Cold Ice King). That second style remains gated until you purchase every accessory tied to the Ice King pages. In short, buy all 14 rewards across both pages and the quest series will appear.
How do I get the Golden Exalted Ice King?
Once you own both Ice King looks and have purchased all items on his two pass pages, the Exalted Ice King quest series becomes available. Complete the six missions in that series and the Golden Exalted Ice King is awarded as the final prize. Epic Games designed this so the golden variant is the season’s closing flourish, not a casual bonus.
How to complete all Exalted Ice King quests
Open a match and look for endgame objectives—those are where these missions live.
After the quest series appears you’ll face six tasks that span combat, world interactions, and boss fights. Finish them all to claim the gold look. The final prize is a crown that feels earned: the Golden Exalted Ice King is a crown forged from sunlight.
| Quest | Quantity | How to complete |
|---|---|---|
| Eliminate players after reaching top 25 to assert your power. | 5 | Reach the top 25 players left alive near the end of any round and eliminate five players. You can do this all at once or spread the eliminations across matches. |
| Plant monitoring devices to eavesdrop on different factions around the island. | 3 | Place three monitoring devices: one at Painted Palms, one at Dark Dominion, and one at New Sanctuary. Look for the diamond icon with an exclamation point to find the exact interaction spots. |
| Collect Epic or better items to keep them from the unworthy. | 5 | Gather five Epic (purple) or better items—Legendaries, Mythics, and Exotics all count. |
| Damage opponents with the Ice King’s Gauntlets or other Legendary weapons. | 200 | Deal 200 damage using the Ice King’s Gauntlets or a Legendary weapon. The gauntlets rotate into the loot pool as Team Ice King accumulates Rivalry points. |
| Check the monitoring reports at Dark Domain or Frigid Fortress. | 1 | Visit the designated site—either Dark Domain or Frigid Fortress depending on your faction—and interact with the computer marked by a white diamond exclamation point to read the report. |
| Defeat any Boss to send a message to the island’s most powerful. | 1 | Defeat a boss such as the Ice King, Dark Voyager Echo, Dread Punisher Squibbly, or The Foundation. |
| Hire or defeat The Foundation. | 1 | Find The Foundation at New Sanctuary, then either pay 750 gold bars to hire him as a Specialist or initiate combat by shooting him. Completing either action completes the quest. |
What are the Exalted Ice King quest requirements?
The quests mix combat and exploration: eliminations, item collection, placing devices, reading monitoring reports, dealing damage with specific weapons, and engaging or hiring The Foundation. Completing every step in the chain nets the Golden Exalted Ice King as your final reward.
Practical tips: use YouTube guides and Twitch streams for location walkthroughs, join Discord squads to split objectives, and check community creators on X and Reddit for the latest Rivalry point timings that rotate gauntlet availability. I’ve used Moyens I/O and Epic Games patch notes to verify timing and reward changes during the chapter.
Want to avoid wasted spend? Treat the two Ice King pages as a single purchase plan: buy the pass, then prioritize accessories across both pages so you don’t miss the 14-item threshold that grants the quest chain. Consider farming missions that overlap—collect Epic items while hunting bosses—to compress time spent.
There are plenty of extra rewards along the pass. Chase Chaos Cubes, use the Jam Track Player, open the New Sanctuary Vault, and visit Zero Point Shards for The Foundation while you work through the Ice King tasks—each step moves you closer to that final golden finish.
If you’ve bought the pass and still can’t see the quest series, double-check that every Ice King accessory is in your inventory and that you’re on the most recent Epic Games update; patch notes and community hubs will flag any timing issues. Ready to drop in and claim the crown?
